I listen on Spotify but I had to come over and say I LOVE THIS EPISODE! The Cincinnati Great wolf lodge was MY childhood gwl!!! It’s what got me into theme parks in general and was my favorite place to be as a kid! And looking back it’s such a funny phenomenon. Mixed with Justin McElroy being one of favorite podcasters this episode was just amazing lol!
The Timmy test is funny for me to hear about, because when we were there our three year old went down a mini-waterslide and when she hit the bottom was launched into a belly flop and was flailing in the water facedown with her little life vest on unable to flip or stand. The lifeguard was maybe 10 feet away and just stared dumbstruck I'm at the top of the slide and start running down, another lifeguard yelling "no running" when another dad standing next to the pool jumps in and picked up my daughter by the back of the life vest holding her up and just staring at the lifeguard like "WHAT THE HELL DUDE?" as I ran over and thanked him as several other lifeguards converged. She was fine and wanted to go again, the other dad and I were pretty shaken up.
This is the best episode in a long time! (they're all good though!) I laughed so hard multiple times!! I've been to that GWL and everything said is sooooo true!!!

Will be thinking a while about the phrase "adventurous dry play"

So the lifeguards were useless. That's unsettling.
I worked at Knott's Berry Farm: Soak City and we also used the AFR terminology 🤣
I have covid and this episode has made me laugh so hard I got light headed. So, thank you?

Justin is looking more and more like Travis.
