Tales From The Jungle Crews

Descent Into Madness, pt 1; S02 E22

IT HAS BEGUN! (Play Mortal Kombat Music Here)The second episode of my near-Epic Seattle trip, and this one is the first part of a three part episode with Skipper Mike Robles and Skipper Adam Rotella. So, normal warnings... This takes place in a bar, and while this episode is fairly tame, it goes downhill very fast in episode 2 and 3. This is not the Jungle Crews episode to start with, try Season 2 Episode 2 if you've never been here before. (But come back eventually, this one is great.) I'd say you should listen to episode 21 before you hear this one, but you're a grown adult. I don't tell you when you can come and go, or who you can or can't have in your room... But would it hurt you to be a little nicer to your Mother, and do your own dishes every once in a while? Ok, so... Here it is. It took me 2 years to get to a point where I could do this group of episodes, and it's totally worth it... Enjoy, even if it is a pile of self-indulgent tripe and more about us hanging out than it is about the history of the fantastic Disneyland attraction we know and love.If you love it, (or think it sucks) Email me...

Pretzels, Beer, and Two Hams; S02 E21

Whee! Vacation time is over, and TFJC is back! This episode is part one of like 5 or 6 episodes from my time in Seattle. We met with lots of Skips, drank lots of beers, and talked about a whole lotta stuff that needed to be edited out. What remains, this picked over carcass, is here for your listening enjoyment. Pretty much every episode from this Seattle escapade has well and earned it's "Explicit" tag from iTunes. So, beware, listen at your own caution. (And yes, all these episodes are more indulgent than they are historical... These guys are great friends I got to hang out with, and I had a freaking blast.)This first episode is my lunch time with Matt Nerrie, we ate pretzels, drank beer, and were total hams. (In case you needed the title explained to you... ) Lots more fun and games are coming soon, so stay in touch, Skip-Fans...Skipper Kyle

The Training Buddy, pt 2; S02 E20

Part 2 of my trip down Memory Lane with my Training Buddy, Skipper Greg Reilly. In the second half we discuss more Jungle Goodness, plus the Dry Ice incident in Toon Town. (Btw, I totally called it before the news came out about how common of a prank that is.)
Secondly, I'm going to be heading off for Vacation. I tried to line up a few buffer episodes, but we've been on a weekly schedule for about 8 weeks now. I've seen the individual episode numbers falling, so this will give you a chance to catch up. I've got interviews scheduled on my trip, so hopefully I'll come back with some edited Tales of Adventure.
Catch us on Twitter, @SkipCast for more details. Kungaloosh, everyone!

The Training Buddy, pt 1; S02 E19

It's always great when I get to chat with people I had a personal connection with, and none fit that bill so much as Skipper Greg Reilly. Greg was my training buddy at Jungle, and as such we swore a lifelong oath as brothers, unbreakable and true. We had a great time for 2 years at Jungle, and Greg is a super-top-notch kind of guy...
So, jump right in... We also chat park ticket prices, always a thrilling subject!

More Tales from WDW, pt 2; S02 E18

We hope your weekend and Memorial Day Holiday was great. We pick up where we left off with Skipper Timothy Bernardi, and more chatting about the Jungle, WDW, and his role working with Imagineering.
Kungaloosh, everyone!

More Tales from WDW; S02 E17

Hey Skips and Skipperettes from all across the wilds of InternetLand. Welcome to our new Tuesday home for TFJC.
Today we sit down, through the magic of Skype, with Skipper Tim Bernardi. Tim worked in a number of roles for WDW, and prime amongst those was as a Skipper in the Wayback times of the fall of 1892. Wait, 1982. Same thing, right? So, here's some oldschool WDW Jungle Magic, and we'll see you next Tuesday for the second half!

Walt Disney Family Museum; S02 E16

So, this is a totally different episode for me. I don't plan on doing this on a regular basis, but I sat down and shared some thoughts I had after visiting the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco. It's not really a "review", but it's more just things I've been struggling for words for over the last 10 years that have now been gelled together. I hope you guys enjoy it, because it's a very "special" episode of Tales from the Jungle Crews.

The $55 Podcast, pt 2; S02 E15

Part 2 of our interview with Skipper Jonathan Rushing is here, and with it is our weekly posting schedule. That's right, we're weekly, for as long as our episode tank has fuel in it. (Hopefully, a long time.)
This week's theme music is a band called the Leisure Kings. Check them out, they are really incredible.
