Ep 336 - Bob Is Out

·1 hr 4 min·5 clips

After a year off, Christine and Rob bootleg a podcast intro to discuss Bob Iger's departure from Disney.

The episode opens with hosts Christine and Rob acknowledging their year-long absence and the makeshift nature of their recording setup. They immediately address the news of Bob Iger's departure from Disney, reflecting on their podcast's long-running 'in until Bob's out' tagline and its ironic lack of climax. The hosts discuss the transition to new CEO Josh D'Amaro, a former parks executive, questioning whether he will focus on the parks or address Disney's struggling film and TV divisions. Christine mentions delays to the Villains Land project and critiques recent live-action remakes like Moana. Rob shares a detailed trip report from a recent Disney World vacation with his family, highlighting their stay at the Yacht Club and his son Grant's experiences on rides like Everest and Flight of Passage. The conversation shifts to upcoming park updates, including Test Track 3.0, Soarin' Across America, and the refurbished Big Thunder Mountain. They critically review the new Zootopia show at Animal Kingdom, describing it as chaotic and poorly executed. The hosts reveal personal life updates, such as Rob's new baby and Christine's travels to CES and Lake Tahoe. They discuss their reduced engagement with Disney news and the challenges of podcasting with young children. The episode concludes with a tentative plan to record a 10th-anniversary episode in August 2026, though they emphasize no firm commitments. Throughout, the tone is casual and reflective, blending Disney analysis with personal anecdotes.
