  Welcome, everyone. I'm in the lobby of the Grand.
• 0:02
  Floridian Beach Resort at Walt Disney World.
• 0:05
  It's the perfect place to have tea with Fozzie Bear and his
• 0:07
  mother. 4 lumps or five, Number me.
• 0:10
  Thank you. I'll take 6.
• 0:12
  Would you care for some honey? No thank you, darling.

  Waka Waka. Welcome to Habawa, a muppet quiz
• 0:43
  show brought to you by toughpigs.com.
• 0:45
  It's your favorite quiz show that's not like the others.
• 0:49
  Here, Muppet fans, Muppet professionals, and everyone in
• 0:54
  between competes for fabulous prizes And to see who's this
• 0:58
  week's toughest Pig, I'm your host, Becca Petunia of
• 1:03
  toughpigs.com. Today on Haboa, we're grabbing
• 1:08
  our popcorn buckets and boarding the people mover because we're
• 1:12
  headed to Walt Disney World. You know, for a brief time in
• 1:16
  the late 80s and early 90s. It seemed like The Muppets were
• 1:19
  going to have a huge role in the Disney parks, especially
• 1:23
  Hollywood Studios. Then well, some stuff happened,
• 1:29
  but there's a lot of intersection between The Muppets
• 1:32
  and Walt Disney World even today.
• 1:34
  So we've got a lot to explore. You know, I've been to Disney
• 1:38
  World's Hollywood Studios once, but at the time it was still MGM
• 1:43
  Studios and the park was three years old and I was younger than
• 1:48
  that. So Needless to say, it's been a
• 1:50
  while and I needed some help to write the questions in this
• 1:54
  episode. So I used my personal Genie
• 1:57
  Muppet Wiki to help, plus some other sources that I'll mention
• 2:01
  later. And Speaking of let's agree to
• 2:03
  play fair today. Please don't look at Muppet Wiki
• 2:07
  or any other resource during this game.
• 2:10
  Disney World is the happiest place on earth.
• 2:14
  Don't make me sad, anyway. Before we take this ride, you're
• 2:18
  going to need to show me your Magic band.
• 2:21
  Or in lieu of that, just introduce yourselves.
• 2:25
  That's why we're going to play our first game, to tell a face.
• 2:30
  Contestants, buzz in to answer some questions about yourself.
• 2:35
  Whoever buzzes in first will be introduced first.
• 2:38
  Ready. Go.
• 2:42
  All right, Mel. So Mel, you've buzzed in first,
• 2:46
  so you get to answer these questions first.
• 2:50
  So, hello. Hi there, Mel.
• 2:51
  Hi. Mel, what is your name?
• 2:55
  Hi, my name is Malia, also known as Mel.
• 3:01
  Yes, I'm very excited to be here and.
• 3:04
  You know, I'm going to start doing this this season because
• 3:07
  it's important to do Mel, what pronouns should we use for you
• 3:11
  while you're here? I use they pronouns.
• 3:13
  Thank you so much for asking. No, no problem.
• 3:17
  So now, what is your sort of history with The Muppets?
• 3:22
  Yes. So I was definitely into The
• 3:25
  Muppets as a kid. I remember watching mostly the
• 3:28
  Muppet movie a lot. That was kind of the only thing
• 3:33
  I really had, other than on our semiannual family vacations to
• 3:40
  Walt Disney World. My biggest exposure to The
• 3:43
  Muppets when I was growing up was Muppet Vision 3D.
• 3:48
  It is a perfect piece of cinema. It is in my letterbox Talk 4.
• 3:54
  It is genuinely a perfect movie. And so, yeah, and so I was
• 3:59
  definitely into The Muppets, but in after I graduated college, I
• 4:04
  ended up moving it down here to Orlando and being in this sort
• 4:09
  of theme park environment definitely got me more into The
• 4:12
  Muppets. Probably a lot more than I
• 4:15
  anticipated when originally moving here, but we can get to
• 4:19
  that later if you want. Yeah, well, why don't you tell
• 4:23
  me a little bit about some of that, some of that theme park
• 4:27
  experience. What are, what are, what do you
• 4:29
  do down in Orlando? Why did I why did I call you to
• 4:33
  be on this episode? So.
• 4:36
  Ask a leading question. Absolutely so.
• 4:40
  Eagle eagle eyed fans of my social media may be familiar.
• 4:47
  I originally moved down here to Orlando for the Disney College
• 4:50
  program after I had graduated and was working in costuming at
• 4:55
  the Magic Kingdom. It was really great.
• 4:57
  I got to work on the bunch of shows and stuff like that.
• 5:01
  Had a really wonderful experience coming out of theater
• 5:04
  school. Originally only plan to live
• 5:07
  down here for, you know, my one semester of a college program.
• 5:11
  And here I am, almost five years later in a very different place
• 5:14
  than we started. But so I worked at Disney for
• 5:20
  about two years and then a little thing called the novel
• 5:25
  Coronavirus happened and we all got laid off via e-mail on a
• 5:29
  Saturday afternoon. So that was exciting.
• 5:35
  And then shortly after the very slow kind of return to a
• 5:44
  semblance of normalcy here in Orlando, Disney sort of called
• 5:49
  back everyone from a lot of the frontline positions, but there
• 5:53
  was not a lot of entertainment in the parks because of the
• 5:57
  difficulty of. Masking and social distancing
• 6:00
  for a lot of things like that. So a lot of us who were
• 6:03
  previously in entertainment ended up other places and it got
• 6:07
  to a point where I could go back to Disney and work in the parks.
• 6:13
  But they told me that the only thing they had available at the
• 6:17
  moment was a quick service food and beverage.
• 6:22
  And I. Was currently working as like a
• 6:28
  host at a restaurant at Disney Springs and I was like, well, I
• 6:31
  don't really want to do that. That's sort of the environment
• 6:33
  I'm already in. But it would be funny if if
• 6:39
  you've got anything available, any chance, any chance you got
• 6:43
  any spots at Pizza Rizzo Open? And believe it or not, that was
• 6:50
  not one of the more requested locations I guess.
• 6:54
  And so then I worked at Pizza Rizzo for about six months
• 6:59
  because I thought that it would be funny and it was so, yeah,
• 7:09
  all right to see it. And of course, you know you're
• 7:13
  still down there and you work for Universal.
• 7:16
  Now correct. Yes, yes, I do.
• 7:18
  Yeah, doing back in entertainment, doing costuming
• 7:21
  things with them, having a lot of fun.
• 7:24
  Still very close to Disney, obviously.
• 7:26
  Still there a lot. Visiting The Muppets, mostly.
• 7:32
  Well, there you go. And last question here, what
• 7:37
  Muppet themed attraction should Disney World open?
• 7:41
  What? What do you think should be the
• 7:42
  next move? The next thing I mean, I think,
• 7:53
  I don't know if this is something we'll talk about
• 7:54
  later, but one of the early kind of rumored things that they had
• 7:59
  been wanting for a potential Muppet expansion of at the time
• 8:03
  MGM Studios. Was like the Great Muppet Movie
• 8:06
  Ride. Oh, let me tell you, Mel, I have
• 8:08
  an entire round. OK, great.
• 8:11
  So that'll come back. But I we lost to the original
• 8:14
  Great Movie Ride here in Orlando for Runaway Railway, which I
• 8:20
  personally do not have a ton of beef with.
• 8:23
  I wish there was a universe where we could have kept both.
• 8:27
  But I think that park really needed something like Runaway
• 8:30
  right away. I am not a runaway railway
• 8:31
  hater. I am, however, a great movie
• 8:33
  ride Stan. And so if there was a way that
• 8:36
  we could, we could bulldoze a lot of things.
• 8:40
  But I think a variation of that Great Muppet Movie ride would
• 8:43
  kind of be be perfect and be the thing that that park
• 8:47
  specifically needs to kind of tie it back to that original
• 8:50
  thing. Excellent.
• 8:52
  So, Mel, for answering all those questions and thank you so much
• 8:55
  for for for going into all that detail seriously.
• 8:58
  But for that I'm going to give you 20 points.
• 9:03
  And now let's move on to our second contestant from Tough
• 9:07
  Pigs. It's my name is Matthew
• 9:10
  Soberman. And Matthew, again, I'm just
• 9:12
  going to ask you what pronouns should we use on this podcast
• 9:15
  for you? I use he, he, him pronouns.
• 9:19
  All right, great. So, Matthew, you know, listen,
• 9:23
  we all know, we, we know so much about your history with The
• 9:26
  Muppets because you've been on so many tough pigs podcasts at
• 9:30
  this point. And do you write for us and all
• 9:33
  that 11 years now? Yeah.
• 9:35
  Oh, geez. Yeah.
• 9:37
  You're you're I'm, I'm coming for you.
• 9:40
  But slowly. This is year nine for me.
• 9:43
  Yeah. But yeah, so I'm going to skip
• 9:46
  that question. I'm going to instead ask you
• 9:51
  where, where do I park my bicycle?
• 9:54
  Probably in Dover, which is the capital of Delaware.
• 9:57
  That's true. All right.
• 9:59
  Next question. What is your history with Walt
• 10:02
  Disney World? Because you only talk about this
• 10:05
  half as much, maybe 2/3 as much as you talk about The Muppets.
• 10:10
  Yeah, it's kind of a big yeah. I mean, yeah, at least where,
• 10:16
  where where I talk with you about things.
• 10:19
  True. So my first trip to Disney World
• 10:24
  came in February 97. The 25th anniversary Celebration
• 10:32
  was still going on. It was the only time I got to
• 10:36
  ride both Horizons and the original Journey into
• 10:40
  Imagination. They both closed by the next
• 10:44
  time I had been. By this next time I went, those
• 10:49
  I think had a pretty formative experience of my life.
• 10:52
  Like, if you're talking poor memory, I don't remember much,
• 10:56
  but I just remember being in awe of Horizons to the point where,
• 11:01
  believe it or not, growing up where people think of me as the
• 11:07
  Muppet guy today, they thought of me as the Disney Parks guy
• 11:10
  then. I've been there more times than
• 11:15
  I can count. Haven't been there recently,
• 11:20
  though. I think I went just after the
• 11:24
  Great Movie Ride closed. That was a that was a sad day.
• 11:29
  Yeah. I mean, it's just sort of always
• 11:31
  been a presence in my life. You've also you've written for
• 11:35
  some Walt Disney World News websites on and off, and
• 11:39
  occasionally about Walt Disney World News for tough pigs.
• 11:42
  That's true. And I should say you of course
• 11:45
  we're on the most listened to episode of Tough Pigs other
• 11:51
  podcast or one of our other podcasts.
• 11:53
  Moving right along, you were on the episode where you discussed
• 11:57
  Muppet Vision 3D. I did.
• 11:59
  Which maybe we'll be talking about and you love.
• 12:02
  You love reminding us. I love it just because of how
• 12:05
  much it irks Ryan. I think Anthony is just sort of
• 12:10
  like, bemused by the whole thing.
• 12:12
  But Ryan Ryan's like this again. I mostly do it to get a rise out
• 12:18
  of him. Not, not for any.
• 12:20
  Anyway, now I wouldn't know anything about trying to to get
• 12:24
  a rise out of Ryan and Joe. And anyway, So what?
• 12:29
  What Muppet themed attraction do you think Disney should add to
• 12:32
  their parks? Well I you know what, there are
• 12:35
  a lot of great things, but honestly I would just be happy
• 12:38
  if they reopened Muppet Vision 3D at Disney California
• 12:43
  Adventure. Like it feels weird that
• 12:46
  literally only one Disney park on the whole planet has a Muppet
• 12:50
  based attraction. So I at this point I would I
• 12:55
  would be happy to settle for just that.
• 12:58
  But if I had like a ride, I mean the Great Muppet Movie Ride
• 13:02
  would would have been fabulous. Other than that, wow, I've never
• 13:08
  really tried to like Imagineer, my own Muppet attraction.
• 13:16
  I mean, obviously I think the big thing now is trackless dark
• 13:19
  rides like Runaway Railway, as Mel said.
• 13:24
  I think that they're The Muppets, could have a lot of fun
• 13:27
  with that as a medium. It's funny because when you put
• 13:32
  it that way, like I think Runaway Railway is a good kind
• 13:35
  of structure with like you're you're supposed to be doing
• 13:38
  this, but then it goes completely wrong and you're
• 13:40
  going all over the place like that's that's very much in the.
• 13:44
  Perfect idea, yes. Oh, and I do want to thank Mel,
• 13:48
  because as we all know, cast members are the magic.
• 13:51
  So thank you. Thank you for keeping us
• 13:56
  entertained and engaged. Anyway, I'm going to open a a a
• 14:02
  Jacques Roach themed attraction at Disneyland Paris.
• 14:07
  I need to, I need to workshop what it is.
• 14:09
  But that's that's for like Ryan and Anthony and nobody else.
• 14:13
  Anyway, you've so nice work. You have earned 20 points as
• 14:19
  well. Matthew Bringing this to an
• 14:21
  exciting tie and moving forward, let's play our first trivia
• 14:28
  game. And you guess so.
• 14:32
  In this game, we'll be guessing about the biggest way that The
• 14:37
  Muppets are at Disney World, the attraction Muppet Vision 3D.
• 14:42
  We all know and love Muppet Vision 3D.
• 14:45
  And in fact, you've both just spoken about how much you know
• 14:48
  and love Muppet Vision 3D. It was Jim Henson's final
• 14:52
  project with the Muppet gang, and it's still one of the best
• 14:56
  3D movies out there. But do you remember key details
• 15:00
  about the show? I'm going to ask you questions
• 15:02
  about Muppet Vision 3D. Your job is to buzz in and
• 15:07
  answer the questions. It's so simple, even being Bunny
• 15:11
  could do it. Each question is worth 2 points.
• 15:15
  Buzz in when you know the answer, but Please wait until I
• 15:19
  finish reading the question so our studio audience can play
• 15:23
  along. Are you ready?
• 15:25
  Well, what do you think? We have time to go to the
• 15:28
  bathroom before the next show, We Casual Purple.
• 15:34
  Let's go. All right.
• 15:35
  First question, what year did Muppet Vision 3D open in Disney
• 15:40
  World? Matthew, that would be 1991,
• 15:48
  correct? Matthew, I'll ask you this bonus
• 15:52
  question. What is significant about the
• 15:54
  date the attraction opened at Disney World?
• 15:58
  Well, it opened on May 16th, which was the 1st anniversary of
• 16:02
  Jim's passing. All right.
• 16:05
  I'll throw in an extra point for that.
• 16:08
  It also opened then, little little under the three months
• 16:12
  before I was born. Question two, what year did
• 16:19
  Muppet Vision 3D open in California Adventure, Matthew?
• 16:27
  That would be 2001. Correct. 10 years later and it
• 16:33
  was an opening day attraction at California Adventure.
• 16:36
  Like the mountain shaped like a bear?
• 16:39
  Question three, what company was the original sponsor of the
• 16:43
  attraction? Mel.
• 16:50
  Was it Kodak? It was Kodak, correct?
• 16:55
  Question four What is the name of Bunsen and Beaker's living 3D
• 17:00
  effect? Matthew, That would be Waldo,
• 17:08
  the spirit of 3D. Can you can you give me his his
• 17:12
  full his full name from the Jim Henson hour Waldo C Graphic.
• 17:17
  Correct. Question five.
• 17:20
  What device do Bunson and Beaker use to try to stop Waldo
• 17:28
  Matthew? That would be the Vacuum Muppet.
• 17:31
  Ooh, you got the specific name too, right?
• 17:33
  That's that's what I like. Question six What remote control
• 17:38
  device does Fozzie use as a cheap 3D trick now?
• 17:49
  That would be his remote controlled banana cream pie.
• 17:52
  Correct. Nice work.
• 17:54
  Question seven What song does Miss Piggy sing before she is
• 18:00
  interrupted by being Bunny? Mel.
• 18:07
  She sings. Dream A Little Dream of me.
• 18:09
  Correct question Eight Who is the only character to appear in
• 18:14
  the attraction in person that is not just on screen or as an
• 18:20
  audio animatronic? Matthew, that would be sweet of.
• 18:28
  Correct. The the Swedom's.
• 18:31
  At least originally, the the people in the Swedom's costume
• 18:34
  were trained by the the the Jim Henson folks to make sure that
• 18:38
  he could believe they still are, though I'm not 100.
• 18:41
  Percent, Yeah, I can't. I don't know if that's still the
• 18:44
  case, but I certainly know it was in the 90s.
• 18:47
  That's so cool. To make sure they could
• 18:49
  realistically move like Swedom's Question 9, now we're talking
• 18:54
  about the queue. According to the information at
• 18:57
  the Muppet Labs Security desk, where can you find the key to
• 19:02
  Muppet Labs now? Very fast there.
• 19:07
  The key is under the mat. The key is under the mat now
• 19:11
  having the three of us bought all been to Disney World.
• 19:15
  Have you looked for the key? Absolutely.
• 19:19
  It's a must do. It's a must do when.
• 19:21
  It's under the mat. I've been again.
• 19:24
  I had like I said I I went to Disney World fairly recently,
• 19:28
  but we didn't get to go to Hollywood Studios.
• 19:31
  Heartbreaking. So the only time I've been to
• 19:34
  Hollywood Studios, which was MGM studios at the time was
• 19:38
  literally in 1994. So I saw Muppet Vision 3D twice
• 19:43
  then but I have no memory of like the specifics of the queue
• 19:48
  we also. Had weirdly had a bootleg VHS
• 19:52
  copy of Muppet Vision 3D growing, so I've seen it a
• 19:57
  couple times even before the YouTube days, but I had a lot of
• 20:03
  just bizarre Muppet Vhs's that I need to dig through the next
• 20:07
  time I'm at my parents' house. But.
• 20:08
  I was going to say, do you still have that VHS?
• 20:11
  I do it. I mean, it would be at my
• 20:13
  parents' house, but I mean. It I remember it being bad
• 20:19
  because it was like filmed directly and not with like
• 20:22
  somebody correctly polarizing the lens.
• 20:27
  Just like there's good versions of it on YouTube now, which I
• 20:30
  rewatched to help me write these questions.
• 20:34
  And I remember the VHS not being that good, but it was nice to
• 20:38
  have anyway. Question 10 One of the props in
• 20:45
  the backstage queue. It pays tribute to a famous
• 20:49
  Mouseketeer. What prop is it, Matthew?
• 20:57
  It is a net full of Jello correct tribute to Annette
• 21:01
  Funicello. I feel like that's got to be
• 21:04
  almost impossible to like. I wonder if anyone has figured
• 21:07
  that out without reading it written down.
• 21:11
  I have no idea. Or if you take kids in there
• 21:12
  today. Oh well, certainly I don't think
• 21:15
  kids today know who Annette Funicello is.
• 21:17
  Unless they should. Kids are re watching those
• 21:20
  specials or kids are listening to that one bonus episode of
• 21:26
  podcast to the Ride where they talked about all of her career.
• 21:30
  Question 11 What is the name of the orchestral group who plays
• 21:35
  the music for the show? Matthew.
• 21:44
  I know the band leader is Nicky Napoleon, but I don't remember
• 21:49
  the name of I think it. I thought it was Nicky Napoleon
• 21:51
  in his orchestra. It is not, at least not
• 21:54
  according to Muppet Wiki. I'm not sure where this is
• 21:57
  stated, if it's stated anywhere. Mel, do you have any idea?
• 22:02
  I do not actually have any real idea.
• 22:04
  OK, according to Muppet Wiki it is listed as Nicky Napoleon and
• 22:08
  his emperor Penguins now. That's cute.
• 22:13
  I believe that name comes from another Muppet production, which
• 22:18
  is actually what brings me to my next question, which I was gonna
• 22:22
  ask whoever got the question right, this bonus question.
• 22:25
  This Daily Double, or whatever you want to call it on what 2
• 22:30
  Muppet Programs did Nicky Napoleon previously appear I.
• 22:35
  Think I could guess one of them, but I don't think I could guess
• 22:38
  both. Well, I'll give you one point.
• 22:40
  If you want to buzz in, Matthew, let's do this right, Matthew.
• 22:45
  Was it Little Muppet? Absolutely.
• 22:48
  Was that three episode long TV show before it was cancelled?
• 22:52
  Little Muppet monsters. I assume neither of you have any
• 22:57
  idea what the other one is. Well, it was a show.
• 23:01
  It was a special designed to promote little Muppet monsters,
• 23:05
  among other things. The Muppets, The Muppets, A
• 23:09
  celebration of 30 years. That show was a special like
• 23:15
  retrospective, and also was designed in part to promote
• 23:19
  little Muppet monsters. A show that had already been
• 23:22
  cancelled by the time The Muppets, a celebration of 30
• 23:26
  years, aired. But Big Bird sure is excited to
• 23:32
  watch that show. He is, He is.
• 23:34
  He mentions that, Yeah. What is the name of Sam?
• 23:41
  The Eagles finale now just called a salute to all nations,
• 23:50
  but mostly America. Correct.
• 23:54
  I'm unsure if this episode will have already come out or will be
• 24:00
  coming out after this one, but I do have an episode that I'm
• 24:04
  going to be recording where I wrote the all of the questions
• 24:07
  based on that theme of A salute to All Nations include, but
• 24:11
  mostly America. Question Question 13 What Disney
• 24:17
  theme park attraction does Sam's finale reference Matthew?
• 24:26
  What is? It's a small.
• 24:27
  World it is. It's a small and.
• 24:29
  I just remembered, I'm not on Jeopardy.
• 24:30
  This is an Ellen. This is an Ellen's energy
• 24:32
  adventure. This is not Ellen's energy
• 24:35
  adventure. I'm sorry, not yet.
• 24:39
  I. A nightmare of a lot.
• 24:42
  I did not write a whole round of questions based on Ellen's
• 24:46
  energy adventure starring Ellen DeGeneres and some dinosaurs and
• 24:52
  Bill Nye the Science Guy. Yeah.
• 24:55
  And Jamie Lee Curtis? There's an Oscar winner in
• 24:57
  there. It's true.
• 25:00
  Kramer Question 14. Jim Henson tragically died
• 25:05
  before the release of this attraction.
• 25:08
  Leaving Frank Oz to put the finishing touches on it.
• 25:11
  What did Frank ask Disney to pay him in return?
• 25:22
  Matthew. That would be a basket of socks.
• 25:26
  It is a basket of socks. That is the payment Frank Oz
• 25:30
  received for completing Muppet Vision 3D.
• 25:34
  See, I was just studying before this episode and that I had to
• 25:38
  look at the Muppet Vision page and it just happened.
• 25:40
  That's what my eyes scrolled to. Is that fact.
• 25:44
  I had not heard that before. That is wild.
• 25:47
  Yeah, yeah. He would not accept any money
• 25:49
  for finishing Jim's project, which I think is a sweet
• 25:53
  gesture, absolutely. Man, it's funny because again,
• 25:56
  like I said, I've only been to Disney World a few times, but
• 25:59
  like, seriously and and Mel, Mel knows this and I think you both
• 26:03
  do, just from Twitter. Like, I love podcast the ride so
• 26:08
  much that like now I like know everything about Ellen's Energy
• 26:13
  Adventure. A ride I never did and obviously
• 26:17
  will never do. No, not anymore.
• 26:21
  Sad. I did love it.
• 26:24
  That doesn't surprise me that you to.
• 26:26
  Tie it back to the beginning episode closed on the same day
• 26:28
  as The Great Movie Ride. Oh, wow.
• 26:32
  That, I believe, was the Disney Blogger apocalypse because they
• 26:37
  had to close to cover two Closings and had to make the
• 26:42
  difficult decision as to try to be the last person on which
• 26:46
  road. Oh my God.
• 26:48
  And famously, Ellen's energy adventure, unlike the Great
• 26:51
  Movie Ride, broke down on its last ride.
• 26:55
  Like the people who waited all day did not get to finish the
• 26:59
  ride that but they didn't get to walk through.
• 27:01
  Did they at least get to walk through the dinosaur part?
• 27:04
  They did. Everyone was taking pictures and
• 27:06
  the cast members were not rushing them at all.
• 27:10
  I mean, why would you? The dinosaurs is again like the
• 27:13
  best part, but I've learned that comes from a different ride.
• 27:18
  So moving back. All right, nice.
• 27:23
  Work there. Now it's time for my favorite
• 27:25
  game, the Headtohead game. The time.
• 27:31
  As. Long as we're talking about The
• 27:32
  Muppets at Walt Disney World, let's talk about The Muppets at
• 27:35
  Walt Disney World. And by that I mean the TV
• 27:39
  special from 1990, this incredibly fun episode of the
• 27:43
  Magical World of Disney. Features The Muppets exploring
• 27:47
  different attractions around all three of Disney World's parks,
• 27:53
  the Magic Kingdom, Epcot and MGM Studios.
• 27:58
  And boy, do they visit a lot of attractions.
• 28:01
  By my count, there are 36 attractions or Disney World
• 28:06
  areas featured in this special. And I will say.
• 28:12
  Muppet Wiki. Shane, I know you're listening.
• 28:15
  We don't have a written out list of this on Muppet Wiki.
• 28:19
  So your pal had to sit in front of her TV and write them all
• 28:24
  down. And some of them I did not know
• 28:27
  the name of, so I had to describe them and text Ryan
• 28:31
  Rowe. I'm like there's an attraction
• 28:34
  that looks like this. What is it?
• 28:36
  What kills me is you. Could have absolutely have asked
• 28:39
  me, but I I knew you were going to be on the episode, so.
• 28:43
  I had to ask Ryan instead, but anyway, I'm not mad.
• 28:50
  I'm sure you did. Well, I'm pretty.
• 28:53
  Sure, I did great and I'm pretty sure you guys are going to do
• 28:56
  great too. So here's how this is going to
• 28:58
  work, starting with Mel. Name a location at Disney World
• 29:03
  that appears in The Muppets at Walt Disney World.
• 29:07
  We'll go back and forth between the two of you to see who can
• 29:11
  name more. So Mel's going to name one, then
• 29:13
  Matthew's going to name one, then Mel's going to name one,
• 29:15
  then Matthew's going to name one.
• 29:18
  If you can't remember one or you get the answer wrong, your
• 29:21
  opponent will have the chance to steal and go twice instead.
• 29:26
  If neither of you can answer, the round ends, right?
• 29:30
  And hey, if you can't remember the special that well, remember
• 29:35
  Disney World attractions from the year 1990 and you'll be OK
• 29:41
  All right. So, Mel, yes.
• 29:45
  I don't know that I have ever seen this special all the way
• 29:48
  through. Oh my goodness.
• 29:49
  Oh, I highly recommend it. It's a lot.
• 29:52
  It's on. It's on YouTube.
• 29:54
  I thought about watching it to prepare for this and then I just
• 29:56
  didn't. And I regret that.
• 29:58
  Now it's on YouTube. It's a lot of fun, especially if
• 30:01
  you like both The Muppets and the Parks.
• 30:03
  They film it on location, which is nice.
• 30:07
  It's a lot like that that social media video where animal goes to
• 30:13
  animal Kingdom and just isn't funny and.
• 30:17
  He's really bland and just says like Bunny rabbit over and over
• 30:20
  again. It's a lot like that.
• 30:22
  But if there were jokes, okay if it were funny.
• 30:25
  And entertaining and an hour long, Yeah.
• 30:28
  And Jim Henson. And Frank Oz were there and all
• 30:31
  that. And Frank Oz was.
• 30:32
  Performing animal, yeah. No offense to Eric Jacobson.
• 30:35
  No, Eric does a. Wonderful, yes, offense to.
• 30:38
  That video where he just says Bunny rabbit anyway.
• 30:42
  Walt Disney World Oh yeah, that's right.
• 30:44
  I. Forgot.
• 30:45
  Walt Disney World is just on the other side of those trees over
• 30:47
  there. Let's go, everybody.
• 30:50
  But wait a second, what about the Frog Festival?
• 30:53
  Kermit, you don't understand. You are asking us to choose
• 30:56
  between Walt Disney World and fried bugs about Mel.
• 31:02
  Name an attraction. Can it be like a location as
• 31:07
  well? It can be a.
• 31:09
  I'll let you know if I need you to go more specific.
• 31:11
  OK. I know that part of this special
• 31:15
  does take place at the Grand Floridian Resort.
• 31:17
  OK, I have. Grand Floridian on my list.
• 31:21
  Matthew name a location I don't know if.
• 31:24
  This is going to count, but I'll shoot my shot.
• 31:27
  I do know that Robin is carried away on the Walt Disney World
• 31:31
  Monorail. I do have Monorail written down.
• 31:38
  Listen, I I approached this with the level of thoroughness that
• 31:43
  fans of Havola and tough pigs in general come to come to expect.
• 31:49
  Monorail is on my list now. Name an attraction.
• 31:53
  I believe Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
• 31:57
  I believe Big Thunder. Is in this special correct
• 32:01
  Matthew? Star tours, OK, Star Tours.
• 32:07
  Correct Mel Main St. USA Main Street USA is included.
• 32:18
  Can you be a little more specific?
• 32:21
  The scene is on like a key feature of Main Street USA.
• 32:26
  I guess on is a clue there. Is it on the trolley correct?
• 32:33
  Incredible. Well, as long as we're talking
• 32:37
  modes of transportation, I'm gonna pick a defunct attraction.
• 32:41
  The World Showcase bus around that used to take people around
• 32:46
  World Showcase at Epcot. Now, listen.
• 32:48
  I have World Showcase written down.
• 32:51
  Oh, just always one. Well, no.
• 32:53
  Because I actually am going to now ask you to get a little more
• 32:57
  specific, Matthew. Name.
• 33:01
  One of the pavilions featured in the World Showcase in the
• 33:06
  special. I'm pretty sure they.
• 33:07
  Use all the ones that were open at the time so I can name you
• 33:11
  all eleven. Well, I take it.
• 33:13
  I I got bad news for you because there's only nine in the
• 33:16
  special. Oh, there's only nine.
• 33:17
  Well then. I'm going to go with the safe
• 33:19
  choice, and that's Mexico. Mexico is.
• 33:21
  In the special Mel you want to guess?
• 33:24
  Yeah, sure. I'll go the other direction and
• 33:26
  I'll say Canada. Canada is in the.
• 33:28
  Special correct, Matthew. Japan The Japan Pavilion.
• 33:33
  The Japan Pavilion. Is in the special Mel the UK.
• 33:37
  The UK is in. The Special, Matthew.
• 33:40
  The Morocco. Pavilion the Morocco.
• 33:42
  Pavilion is in the special Lifford just jamming.
• 33:46
  Out there. Yeah, he is Mel France.
• 33:50
  France is in the. Special Matthew Italy.
• 33:53
  Italy is in the special. Mel Germany Germany is in the.
• 34:00
  Matthew, this is the last one by my count.
• 34:05
  So I'm I'm not 100% on this. I'm gonna say China.
• 34:12
  It is China, correct? So the United States, I did not
• 34:16
  notice the American adventure anywhere.
• 34:20
  And what's the other one that's missing?
• 34:22
  Norway. Which not have been open yet.
• 34:24
  All right, Norway. Opened in 88 so.
• 34:28
  I didn't. I didn't see it again.
• 34:30
  I was keeping a pretty close eye anyway, so I trust you.
• 34:33
  It's. So we did the World Showcase
• 34:36
  Mel, another attraction going back to our defunct attractions.
• 34:42
  I believe the, like Skyway buckets in Magic Kingdom aren't
• 34:47
  that special. Maybe, you know, I didn't.
• 34:51
  Write down the skyway. I don't believe they.
• 34:54
  Are I think that was only for promotional I believe, yes, the
• 34:59
  promo photo. The promo photo does have it,
• 35:01
  but I don't believe it's in the special Matthew.
• 35:04
  I guess you get to name 2 then. Well, I will keep the defunct
• 35:09
  theme going. I believe Gonzo and Camilla
• 35:11
  stand outside the wonders of life.
• 35:14
  They do. Correct and.
• 35:16
  For the second one, as long as we're cuz you know, Epcot's my
• 35:20
  happy place. I know Bean and Scooter hang out
• 35:24
  at the jumping fountains outside.
• 35:25
  Journey into imagination, correct Mel.
• 35:33
  We have reached the extent of my knowledge on this, so I am going
• 35:37
  to start guessing. We have not done any from MGM
• 35:43
  Studios yet, so I will say the great Movie Ride.
• 35:47
  Or the the Chinese theater facade.
• 35:49
  The Chinese. Theater is included.
• 35:51
  Yes, right. That is the great movie, right?
• 35:54
  Well. Then I will go with the the big
• 35:56
  finale at the Indiana Jones epic stunts.
• 35:58
  Spectacular. Correct.
• 36:01
  Now, staying at MGM, is there anything on the the streets of
• 36:07
  America? The back lot.
• 36:09
  The New York. Back lot is included.
• 36:12
  Robin is so excited to be on the New York back lot.
• 36:15
  It is. A little strange, I'm pretty
• 36:21
  sure this is. A real world location, so I'm
• 36:23
  going to say at the Pet Care Center it that is on my list.
• 36:29
  Now I believe I'm get the I think there is a scene at like
• 36:35
  the beach outside the Grand Floridian or like on the Seven
• 36:39
  Seas Lagoon. I think I just included that as
• 36:42
  part of the Grand Floridian. That's fair.
• 36:48
  Do you want to guess again? Yeah, Mel Go again.
• 36:50
  That's fair, Okay. That's my fault for not saying
• 36:54
  the sentences Lagoon is. It's separate.
• 36:59
  I will get going back to Magic Kingdom.
• 37:06
  Let's say the Jungle Cruise, The Jungle.
• 37:10
  Crews not included, despite you feel like being right up.
• 37:14
  Yeah, right up their alley. Feels like that would, yeah.
• 37:17
  Have a lot of potential. Yeah, Matthew.
• 37:19
  You want to give me two? See, now we're getting at the
• 37:23
  point where I'm trying to quickly go through this special.
• 37:26
  Yeah, if you miss listen. If you miss one again.
• 37:28
  If you both miss then then this round is over.
• 37:35
  I had one and I. Because I'm going to start
• 37:39
  stretching, I believe the opening sequence where they
• 37:42
  break in is in front. You can see from the shot Sid
• 37:49
  Kahangas. You know, I didn't have.
• 37:52
  That written down, but I believe you because it's so specific.
• 37:57
  Yes, they the old that. For those who don't know, that
• 38:00
  was a a a place in Hollywood studios near and dear to my
• 38:04
  heart because. Unlike every other merchandise
• 38:07
  shop on property, they sold movie props.
• 38:12
  Now that building is, sorry, no, go ahead, go.
• 38:15
  Ahead as you say. Now that the building still
• 38:17
  exists and I think the facade might still be there, but it is
• 38:19
  the Photo Pass headquarters of Hollywood Studios.
• 38:23
  I could only. Afford one item from there, and
• 38:25
  it was a prop check from the Broadway version of The
• 38:28
  Producers. OK, so in.
• 38:30
  A way I. Technically brought it back to
• 38:32
  New York. I would all the way to get
• 38:34
  something I could have gotten if I had waited outside the
• 38:38
  dumpster of the Saint James Theater.
• 38:41
  Matthew, you want to give? Another one because you do get
• 38:43
  to steal. I believe.
• 38:47
  Kermit and Raven Symone sing Rainbow Connection outside
• 38:52
  Cinderella Castle. Correct.
• 38:54
  I will. Accept Cinderella's castle.
• 38:56
  It's so obvious, but it it counts as an attraction.
• 39:00
  Mel, anything. Any guesses?
• 39:03
  Following that theme I'll say Spaceship Earth.
• 39:06
  Spaceship Earth. Is included because again, you
• 39:09
  can't, not Matthew. Yeah, I'm starting.
• 39:15
  Oh, Fozzie, when he tells his jokes, I'm pretty sure a couple
• 39:18
  of the country bears can be seen.
• 39:19
  So I'm gonna say Country Bear Jamboree.
• 39:21
  Correct. I will count.
• 39:22
  That even though you cannot, I don't think you see actual
• 39:25
  country Bear Hall, But you do see the bears, Mel.
• 39:33
  How many do we have left? Oh, geez. 123456789101112 OK
• 39:43
  country bears. I got them right here.
• 39:46
  I am going to guess the living seas that I've got.
• 39:51
  The living seas is. Correct.
• 39:53
  Oh yeah, they do a. Bunch of When they're doing the
• 39:55
  finale dancing in front, yeah, the definition.
• 39:59
  And I had to write them all down.
• 40:00
  That feels. Well, I'm starting.
• 40:02
  To grasp it straws myself. Some of these are obvious and
• 40:06
  then some of these are ones that I needed to check Ryan.
• 40:10
  I'm pretty sure. Keeping with the Country Bears,
• 40:13
  one of the other bears that laugh at Fozzie's jokes in the
• 40:17
  scene is Brare Bear from Splash Mountain.
• 40:21
  It is Brare Bear from Splash Mountain.
• 40:24
  I did not have Splash Mountain written down, but I will, I will
• 40:28
  give you another one because Brer Bear is there.
• 40:31
  So it feels like that's going to count for Splash Mountain Mel, I
• 40:36
  guess, sticking with the. Frontierland theme Can I say Tom
• 40:41
  Sawyer Island with the boats Is the boat?
• 40:48
  Well, you can a little wrapped are Toms.
• 40:50
  Yeah, well, you can see. You can see the Mark Twain.
• 40:56
  I think that's a separate attraction.
• 40:57
  That's a yeah I. Would count the different the
• 40:59
  boats were the. Mike Fink, Heel Boats yeah,
• 41:02
  which I think we're operating still at the time but well, I I
• 41:07
  don't know if you I don't. Have that.
• 41:08
  I think it's just the Mark Twain, which I guess I just gave
• 41:10
  away. So now there's less options
• 41:13
  left. Matthew.
• 41:17
  The Crystal Palace. The Crystal Palace, which I had
• 41:20
  to ask Ryan the name of. And Matthew, do you have another
• 41:24
  one? Oh, you're still missing some
• 41:28
  obvious ones. Some obvious.
• 41:31
  Ones Wow. Cuz I I like ones that people at
• 41:36
  home will will know. Oh, I'm sure I could.
• 41:40
  Name Disney Parks attractions. But I don't.
• 41:42
  I'm just trying to remember what's in the special.
• 41:48
  Yikes. I'm gonna stay.
• 41:58
  The magic of. Disney Animation No, I'm sorry.
• 42:03
  OK, so I guess that's we we each you both missed.
• 42:06
  So I'm going to end the round here.
• 42:09
  Attractions you did not mention Crossroads of the World.
• 42:14
  Oh yeah, the shop Space Mountain.
• 42:19
  No, it is than that. I wasn't sure you see the
• 42:21
  outside of it. It's again, I had to check, but
• 42:24
  it's definitely Space Mountain. The chapeau.
• 42:32
  That's not an obvious one. Dumbo the Elephant and the Mad
• 42:35
  Tea Party were the two obvious ones that neither of you said we
• 42:40
  could count. Donzo's various adventures in
• 42:44
  quote a grungy tunnel outdoors as well as.
• 42:49
  As well, yeah. I'm I'm sure as well as a
• 42:52
  laundry room, a sewer and I also would have counted Mickey
• 43:00
  Mouse's office where the special ends.
• 43:03
  All right. And I do apologize again if I
• 43:06
  missed or I was incorrect and the mark the Tom Sawyer Island
• 43:11
  was included or or any of these other things.
• 43:15
  I am sorry, but believe me, I am going to try to convince Matthew
• 43:22
  to help me edit Muppet Wiki so we can not have to go through
• 43:26
  this again. Meanwhile, while we're not in
• 43:30
  the park, let's let's turn on Disney Plus and check one of the
• 43:35
  other most Disney World themed Muppet productions.
• 43:40
  That's right. I'm talking about Muppets
• 43:42
  Haunted Mansion. I thought you were.
• 43:44
  Going to talk talking about behind the attraction?
• 43:47
  No, I they don't have a Muppet one of that, do they?
• 43:53
  Yeah, I feel like I would have watched it if they did.
• 43:56
  No, I'm talking about Muppets Haunted Mansion.
• 43:58
  Anyway, as you know, in this special, Gonzo and Pepe have to
• 44:02
  spend the night in the Haunted Mansion.
• 44:04
  Except not the Haunted Mansion at Disney World or Disneyland or
• 44:08
  the Phantom Manner or whatever. It's kind of the same, but
• 44:12
  different. And one of the ways that the
• 44:14
  mansion is different is that instead of our usual Haunted
• 44:18
  Mansion friends, we've got Muppets.
• 44:21
  Because at the end of the day, nothing is scarier than Moe
• 44:25
  Frackle. That's why we're going to play a
• 44:28
  game that I'm calling Doom Buddies in this game.
• 44:34
  Thank you. Thank you.
• 44:34
  Thank you. I'll pause for the hilarious
• 44:37
  laughter in this game. I'll name a character from the
• 44:44
  Haunted Mansion attraction or Haunted Mansion Lore.
• 44:49
  Your job is to buzz in and name the Muppet who portrayed that
• 44:54
  character in the special. I love it.
• 44:59
  I want to thank and this is the other source that I used.
• 45:02
  I want to thank the Haunted Mansion Wiki for some
• 45:06
  clarification on the character names.
• 45:09
  Because this is something else, Matthew, that's something else.
• 45:10
  We're going to have to take care of them up at Wiki because yeah,
• 45:14
  we're not using, we're not really using.
• 45:16
  I guess we're using the names that they used in the credits of
• 45:18
  the special, that they're not the official Haunted Mansion
• 45:21
  names. Also, it is really the haunted.
• 45:23
  Mansion fandom is a level beyond Disney Parks fan.
• 45:27
  I was about to say it is real hard to understand the names of
• 45:31
  the Haunted Mansion characters because they each have like 6
• 45:34
  names and then titles. And then there's the comic book
• 45:39
  names and the Eddie Murphy movie.
• 45:42
  And now Jared Leto has a movie, and that's.
• 45:46
  What we are but weeks. Away from getting more new names
• 45:49
  to add to this expansive lore, so I'm going to name a Haunted
• 45:55
  Mansion character. You are going to buzz in and
• 45:57
  name the muppet who portrayed that character in the special.
• 46:02
  For some of them, there may be more than one right answer if I
• 46:06
  mention a group of characters or a pair of characters.
• 46:12
  Also in those cases you will get points if you name both.
• 46:17
  If you can only name one, you will get some points, etcetera,
• 46:20
  etcetera. You will get two points for each
• 46:23
  correct answer. And now let's meet some of those
• 46:27
  999 happy haunts. The only thing worse than being
• 46:33
  stuck in here with you is being stuck in here with them.
• 46:37
  Question one, Madam Liotta Matthew.
• 46:45
  By a like millisecond that would be.
• 46:48
  Miss Piggy? That would be Miss Piggy.
• 46:52
  Question 2. The Hat Box Ghost.
• 46:59
  Mel. Fozzie.
• 47:01
  Correct. Question 3.
• 47:06
  The organist. Now that is Rolf.
• 47:13
  That is Rolf Question 4, the Birthday Ghost.
• 47:23
  Matthew, that's Robin. It is Robin.
• 47:26
  Tiny Tim did. Die.
• 47:31
  I mean much. Later, much after the events of
• 47:33
  Muppet Christmas Carol. What?
• 47:36
  Yeah, he he's he's very much dead by the time Muppets on a
• 47:39
  mansion rolls around. True question 5, and there's
• 47:42
  obviously 2 characters here. The staring busts.
• 47:50
  Matthew, that would be Doctor. Bunsen, Honeydew, and Beaker
• 47:54
  Correct Question 6. The chandelier ghost.
• 48:03
  Matthew, is that chip? That is Chip.
• 48:08
  Everyone's favorite Muppet Chip. Not Tory?
• 48:12
  Who? Runs live from Muppet Lynch.
• 48:14
  She hates. Chip, question 7, and there's
• 48:18
  two answers here, the duelists. Matthew, that would.
• 48:27
  Be Pops and Sam the eagle correct.
• 48:31
  Matthew is on A roll here. Question 83 answers here because
• 48:39
  we are talking about the quicksand men from the
• 48:43
  stretching painting. Matthew that.
• 48:50
  Would be link hog throb. Correct.
• 48:54
  The middle ghost is I want to say Doctor Strange port correct?
• 49:00
  And the the. The The one that's going to be
• 49:03
  making a quick exit is Miss Poogie.
• 49:05
  It is Miss Poogie. Is that the only other?
• 49:09
  Time we've seen her outside of the 2011 Oh no, Oh no.
• 49:13
  She's in the episode of Muppets. Now that I reviewed, let me just
• 49:20
  say Miss Poogie, my least favorite Muppet.
• 49:23
  Anyway, I I don't like Miss Coogee Question 9.
• 49:28
  Continuing with these these paintings.
• 49:32
  Sally Slater Mel, that is. Janice, that is Janice, correct.
• 49:43
  And question 10, the last included painting because they
• 49:47
  did not do one of the bride. Question 10.
• 49:52
  Alexander Nitrokoff. Matthew by a millisecond.
• 49:59
  Again, you guys are like neck and neck well.
• 50:02
  Standing on dynamite, who else would you get but Crazy Harry?
• 50:06
  Correct. Now this one is harder because
• 50:10
  question 11 is constances 6 dead husbands.
• 50:15
  I'm going to let you guys go back and forth on this rather
• 50:18
  than just let one of you earn 12 points.
• 50:20
  Mel, give me one. Walter.
• 50:23
  Walter is one of them. Matthew, give me a second one.
• 50:26
  Beauregard. Correct.
• 50:29
  I will say did not recognize it was Beauregard when I first
• 50:32
  watched the special. He is heavily.
• 50:33
  Disguised like that mustache, it is hard to tell that that is our
• 50:37
  favorite cab driver. Slash janitor Mel.
• 50:40
  Another one. I don't know if.
• 50:43
  You're counting them together or separately.
• 50:46
  But Johnny. So, Johnny.
• 50:48
  All right, Johnny. Matthew the.
• 50:52
  Next one would be Salmonella, correct Mel.
• 50:58
  There's two more. She has six dead husbands.
• 51:02
  Pepe will be the 7th. I don't know that I have.
• 51:08
  The other two Matthew, I can name one of.
• 51:12
  Them it's the the foul mouthed Penguin.
• 51:14
  It is the foul mouthed Penguin. It is a Penguin who Johnny says.
• 51:18
  Can't say that it's a or Sal one of them.
• 51:22
  What's the? There's there's another one I
• 51:27
  know, but. I'm trying to remember who it
• 51:28
  is. I believe technically it's the
• 51:30
  5th. If we're, you know, if we want
• 51:33
  to be really specific here, the Penguin is the 6th.
• 51:37
  I mean, I'm going to have to call it he.
• 51:41
  Probably Will. I'm going to go out on a limb
• 51:44
  and say Phil Van Neuter. It is not Phil Van Neuter,
• 51:47
  although he is present in the party scene.
• 51:52
  It is Lu Zealand. I can't believe it.
• 52:00
  No, no, no. I mean, it's okay.
• 52:03
  Honestly, I have not watched this special since it came out.
• 52:07
  It's cute. Question 12.
• 52:11
  Question 12 The Grady twins, Matthew Oh the.
• 52:19
  Only twins more terrifying than the great the actual Grady
• 52:23
  twins, Andy and Randy. And please correct, and please
• 52:27
  forgive me for that trick question because they are, of
• 52:29
  course, characters from the film.
• 52:31
  They're shining. But they are in the movie I was
• 52:35
  tempted to. Say that this question is too
• 52:37
  hard. Yeah.
• 52:40
  No, no, no. But they're.
• 52:41
  But they're in the special. They're in the special they.
• 52:44
  Sure are, they say. Come play with us, Gonzo.
• 52:47
  All right, You guys are so good at this.
• 52:51
  It's scary. And Speaking of scary, you know
• 52:55
  what attraction terrified me as a kid.
• 52:58
  It's that neighbor of Muppet Vision, The Great Movie Ride.
• 53:03
  No, seriously. I was like 3 years old and I
• 53:08
  went on the Great Movie Ride and I got so freaked out by the fire
• 53:13
  and the gunshots that I caused a walk off.
• 53:18
  Wow. And that's why you haven't.
• 53:20
  Been back to Hollywood? No, no, no.
• 53:24
  Anyway, it it scared the. The the chambers out of me as a
• 53:27
  kid too. The Alien.
• 53:30
  From Alien, it was the Alien. Well, spoilers.
• 53:34
  It was. It was that.
• 53:37
  It was. It was a combination of a lot of
• 53:38
  rides that I'll I'll get into when we get to the questions.
• 53:42
  But anyway, rest in peace. Great Movie Ride, but three-year
• 53:47
  old Becca will not miss you. One thing that would have made
• 53:52
  The Great Movie Ride a little more palatable to me as a kid
• 53:56
  would have been if they went forward with the idea to put The
• 53:59
  Muppets in it. That's right, we know for a fact
• 54:02
  that there were plans to make the ride the Great Muppet Movie
• 54:06
  Ride with The Muppets, causing chaos throughout the most
• 54:09
  classic set pieces of Hollywood. Alas, that ride never came to
• 54:14
  be. However, I'm still thinking
• 54:16
  about The Muppets and their relationship to the great movies
• 54:19
  of Hollywood's past. That's why we're going to play a
• 54:23
  very special edition of our Name the celebrity game Mystery
• 54:28
  Guest. In this game, I'll name a time a
• 54:32
  celebrity worked with The Muppets or a time The Muppets
• 54:36
  directly referenced that celebrity's work.
• 54:39
  Your job is to name that celebrity.
• 54:43
  Get it right, and you'll learn two points.
• 54:45
  Here's a hint. All of these celebrities
• 54:49
  appeared within The Great Movie Ride.
• 54:53
  Great. Wait until I finish the clue to
• 54:56
  buzz in. All right, here we go.
• 55:01
  Question one, We've already spoken about The Muppets at Walt
• 55:04
  Disney World. In this special, Kermit famously
• 55:08
  plays a character historically performed by this actor.
• 55:16
  Matthew Harrison. Ford It is Harrison Ford.
• 55:22
  And Matthew, for one extra point, what a Harrison Ford
• 55:26
  movie is featured in the great movie Ride Raiders.
• 55:29
  Of the Lost Ark, Correct. Question two.
• 55:33
  Also in The Muppets at Walt Disney World, he and Kermit are
• 55:37
  confirmed to both be members of Casa, the fictional animal stars
• 55:42
  of America. Matthew, that would be Mickey.
• 55:50
  Mouse It is Mickey Mouse. And what Mickey Mouse movie is
• 55:54
  included in The Great Movie Ride, I'm just going to say.
• 55:57
  Steamboat Willie It is not Steamboat Willie Melton, though.
• 56:01
  It is Fantasia. Oh.
• 56:04
  Vivid Fantasia is seen in the attraction not.
• 56:06
  I mean, it is in the oh, how did I forget that one Question 3 on
• 56:12
  a primetime special, she performed many songs and
• 56:15
  sketches with The Muppets, including singing a big spender
• 56:19
  to the Cookie Monster. Matthew, that would be.
• 56:26
  Julie Andrews. That is Julie Andrews And what
• 56:29
  Julie Andrews movie is included Mary Poppins?
• 56:32
  It is Mary Poppins now. I saw you, like, raise an
• 56:35
  eyebrow. Have you not seen Julie on
• 56:37
  Sesame Street? No.
• 56:39
  Okay, you have to at least. I'm going to.
• 56:42
  I'm going to. I'm going to send you the clip
• 56:44
  of her. I never oh the.
• 56:45
  Clip I've seen Yeah, yeah. I haven't seen the whole
• 56:47
  special, but the clip where she does, I kid you not, A sexy
• 56:53
  burlesque number of Hey Big Spender where she tries to
• 56:57
  seduce the Cookie Monster who is only interested in eating while
• 57:03
  she is like getting on his lap and like showing her stockings.
• 57:09
  I can't believe I. Haven't seen or heard of this.
• 57:12
  This is a thing that existed and was on primetime television
• 57:17
  before The Muppet Show, correct? Yeah, this predates the Muppet
• 57:21
  Show, I believe Might. I don't remember.
• 57:25
  Now I'm gonna have to check. I mean, I checked for.
• 57:31
  You but you said no Muppets. No, no, no, no, you can't look.
• 57:35
  Yeah, 73. That's before The Muppet Show.
• 57:37
  Yeah, that it. Is Wow.
• 57:40
  I mean. Also, I think one of two Muppet
• 57:43
  Show guest stars that were immortalized as an audio
• 57:46
  animatronic. I'm sorry, I didn't know.
• 57:51
  That was a was a question. Question four.
• 57:56
  She famously appeared in an episode of Sesame Street that
• 57:59
  was banned for being too scary for children.
• 58:06
  Now is that Margaret? Hamilton, that is.
• 58:09
  And where is Margaret Hamilton? In The Great Movie Ride?
• 58:13
  In the Wizard of. Oz Yeah, I saved that.
• 58:15
  It like obvious. Where else would she and what
• 58:17
  character? Does she?
• 58:18
  Yeah, Gee. Another scary.
• 58:24
  Moment from that ride again. I I'm not going to give away
• 58:29
  where I where I got got scared because I don't want to give
• 58:33
  things away. I mean for.
• 58:35
  For the folks at home, it's the Wicked Witch of the West.
• 58:38
  Yes. OK.
• 58:39
  Thank you. Question 5, Neither of these
• 58:42
  actors ever appeared with The Muppets.
• 58:44
  However, they lend their names to baby Natasha's doting yet
• 58:49
  dotty parents. Matthew, that would.
• 58:57
  Be Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
• 58:59
  That is Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman.
• 59:02
  And what Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman movie is
• 59:06
  included? A movie.
• 59:08
  A movie. Spooked multiple times by The
• 59:10
  Muppets Casablanca. Correct, but I didn't want to
• 59:13
  give away the movie with the question Question 6, His episode
• 59:19
  of The Muppet Show, Matthew was the final one filmed, hence its
• 59:25
  plot about Beauregard worrying about the end of the world.
• 59:33
  Matthew, that would be. Gene Kelly It is Gene Kelly.
• 59:37
  And what is the Gene Kelly movie in The Great Movie Ride One?
• 59:42
  Of the best singing in the rain, it is like he performed on The
• 59:46
  Muppet Show after much coaxing. Question seven, he hosted The
• 59:52
  Muppets Go Hollywood and sang You Ought to Be In Pictures to
• 59:56
  Miss Piggy. Matthew.
• 1:00:01
  That would be Dick. Van Dyke, that is, Dick Van.
• 1:00:04
  Dyke, who of course is included in.
• 1:00:09
  Mary Poppins, Mary Poppins again, question 8.
• 1:00:13
  This actor's work was parodied. On a Monsterpiece Theater sketch
• 1:00:18
  about the importance of washing one's face.
• 1:00:26
  Matthew. Is that James?
• 1:00:27
  Cagney, that is James. Cagney Because of course they
• 1:00:31
  did. Monsters with Dirty Faces, a
• 1:00:35
  parody of Angels with Dirty Faces.
• 1:00:38
  And Matthew, what is the James Cagney movie featured in The
• 1:00:44
  Great Movie Ride that's scared? The life out of me.
• 1:00:47
  Well, technically there. Are two James Cagney movies.
• 1:00:50
  Though Cagney is not included in the other scene.
• 1:00:55
  The one that scared the heck out of you would have been the
• 1:00:57
  Public Enemy. It was the public.
• 1:00:59
  Enemy correct and the 2nd. Film Cagney film referenced is
• 1:01:03
  Footlight Parade. That's.
• 1:01:06
  True, Yeah. Footlight Parade is less scary
• 1:01:08
  though, no? Yeah, No.
• 1:01:11
  Question nine, she voiced the myth speaker.
• 1:01:16
  In the Dark Crystal Age of resistance.
• 1:01:20
  So it's got to be. Someone who's still yeah, so
• 1:01:24
  this. Person isn't in Footlight
• 1:01:26
  Parade, Mel. Is it Sigourney?
• 1:01:30
  It is Sigourney. Correct.
• 1:01:33
  And what's Sigourney Weaver movie that was?
• 1:01:36
  What like? Absolutely forced them to take
• 1:01:39
  me off the ride after I started crying at James Cagney, the
• 1:01:43
  scene that traumatized. Alien, of course.
• 1:01:46
  Correct. And it's funny because again,
• 1:01:49
  now I'm like obsessed with horror and like Alien is one of
• 1:01:53
  my, like top five favorite movies of all time.
• 1:01:55
  But as a three-year old, no, it's so scary.
• 1:02:00
  Yes, well, my. Parents didn't know that.
• 1:02:03
  Like they didn't. Know what was going to be on the
• 1:02:05
  great movie? There's a Xenomorph.
• 1:02:07
  That comes out of the ceiling down at you, yes.
• 1:02:11
  And the Xenomorph, unfortunately, you know, I guess
• 1:02:14
  he kind of did work with The Muppets, because on Muppets
• 1:02:19
  Tonight there was a puppet that looked kind of like a Xenomorph.
• 1:02:23
  In the sketch Codependence day, but I did not write that down
• 1:02:26
  and they directly. Parody alien in a pigs in space
• 1:02:30
  sketch that I think was filmed for YouTube, Correct?
• 1:02:32
  Yeah. Pepe comes out and he chest
• 1:02:34
  bursts out of someone. Question 10 and the last
• 1:02:39
  question in this round, Big Bird once said that the only way to
• 1:02:43
  make a career out of swimming was to be like this actor from
• 1:02:47
  the pre code era of Hollywood, Matthew.
• 1:02:55
  Is that Johnny Weiss? Mueller, that is.
• 1:02:57
  Johnny Weiss Mueller? There is.
• 1:03:00
  It is on Muppet Wiki, an episode of Sesame Street where Big Bird
• 1:03:04
  has a throwaway joke where he says the only way you can make a
• 1:03:08
  career out of swimming is to be Johnny Weiss, Mueller or Esther.
• 1:03:12
  Williams Well, that's not what big.
• 1:03:14
  Bird says Big Bird is. Six years old, What does he
• 1:03:19
  know? From classic Hollywood and what?
• 1:03:22
  Johnny Weiss Mueller movie is included in The Great Movie
• 1:03:26
  Ride. That would be Tarzan.
• 1:03:27
  The Ape man. Thank you for giving me the
• 1:03:29
  full. Title of the Johnny Weiss
• 1:03:31
  Mueller version and now as what I did so many years ago, we walk
• 1:03:38
  off but before we exit through the gift shop, we have two more
• 1:03:43
  quick games. First off, it's time for you to
• 1:03:47
  become a cast member and test my knowledge.
• 1:03:50
  It's our classic Stump the Host game, the Anything in the World
• 1:03:55
  Prize game. As you know, in this round you 2
• 1:03:59
  will be able to ask me anything in the world.
• 1:04:03
  Literally well know anything in the world about The Muppets if
• 1:04:09
  you stump. You will earn 15 points so.
• 1:04:15
  I need to total up the scores because I have not been doing
• 1:04:18
  the math. I've just been drawing a lot of
• 1:04:20
  tally marks. So we are going to start with
• 1:04:25
  Mel, however, but let me do the math real quick.
• 1:04:28
  Listen, we we we love everyone on Avawa and truly, it's still
• 1:04:36
  anyone's game thanks to these last two rounds.
• 1:04:39
  But let me talk a little bit about the score, because right
• 1:04:42
  now. Mel has 58 points doing
• 1:04:47
  extremely well and extremely respectively, and Matthew has
• 1:04:52
  almost twice that with 106 points doing doing even better.
• 1:04:59
  But Matthew writes for Tough pigs.
• 1:05:03
  Matthew, listen, it's still anybody's game, I know.
• 1:05:08
  I'm I'm not getting overconfident but but.
• 1:05:11
  Matthew, you do have a comfortable, comfortable 48
• 1:05:15
  point lead. This is about how.
• 1:05:17
  I expected this to go and you know what?
• 1:05:19
  It's OK. Listen.
• 1:05:21
  Listen, listen, we're all winners here on Haboa.
• 1:05:25
  So now, would you like to ask me a question to stump me?
• 1:05:31
  I would. I am going.
• 1:05:33
  I did come up with a few questions.
• 1:05:35
  They are all about pizza Rizzo and I'm going to pick.
• 1:05:40
  The one that is maybe not the hardest, but it is my favorite
• 1:05:45
  pizza Rizzo. Fun fact that I learned while
• 1:05:47
  working there, which early. Jim Henson and Muppet Project is
• 1:05:55
  referenced with a prop in the lobby of the Pizza Rizzo order
• 1:06:01
  pickup. Area now again?
• 1:06:04
  See, like you said, this is a great fun fact that I'm glad
• 1:06:06
  we're getting on the episode, but I do think I know this one,
• 1:06:10
  despite having never gone. Are you?
• 1:06:14
  Are you? Referencing is this referencing
• 1:06:18
  the the PA Otter memorial service that you can see on the
• 1:06:23
  board or no, is that elsewhere because that's elsewhere.
• 1:06:28
  All right, well then listen, you technically did stump me, so you
• 1:06:33
  do get 15 points. But before you answer you give
• 1:06:37
  your answer, Matthew, I'm curious to to know if you know
• 1:06:42
  the answer that Mel is looking for here.
• 1:06:46
  Don't think I do. I'm.
• 1:06:48
  I'm excited to find out. Is it the Jimmy?
• 1:06:50
  Dean, show it is. Not that is also upstate OK cuz
• 1:06:54
  I know. That one too.
• 1:06:56
  Which one are you talking about? We are talking about.
• 1:06:59
  So right inside when you walk in the main like lobby entrance to
• 1:07:04
  Pizza Rizzo, to the right kind of above the door is a shelf,
• 1:07:08
  and on that shelf is a Wilkins coffee tune I.
• 1:07:15
  Had actually seen that before, but I totally forgot.
• 1:07:18
  Like like our pal Wilkins and Wilkins.
• 1:07:22
  It is my favorite. Do you?
• 1:07:23
  Like Wilkins coffee. No, it is my.
• 1:07:26
  My favorite. Little thing?
• 1:07:28
  Well, you're lucky you're in a. Different building than I.
• 1:07:32
  AM. Oh, no, that's great.
• 1:07:32
  That's great. And I'm so glad that we.
• 1:07:34
  Hey, now we got to talk about there's a newspaper clipping of
• 1:07:38
  Rolf and Jimmy Dean on the Jimmy Dean Show, and you can see the
• 1:07:42
  faded letters on a sign board about the PA Otter memorial
• 1:07:47
  service. Yes.
• 1:07:48
  Upstairs at Pizza Rizzo is the greatest place in the Disney
• 1:07:52
  parks. It is my favorite place.
• 1:07:55
  It is the perfect place to charge your phone and sit in the
• 1:07:57
  air conditioning and drink a beer.
• 1:08:00
  And in that, you know, community bulletin board where they that
• 1:08:04
  newspaper clip that you're referencing is.
• 1:08:06
  I definitely did not, definitely did not try and figure out a way
• 1:08:13
  to get in there and like add my own photo while I was working
• 1:08:17
  there because I knew that no one would notice or check it.
• 1:08:21
  I definitely didn't do that. And it didn't work out either
• 1:08:24
  way, but I could. Have and.
• 1:08:29
  Matthew, why don't you try to stump me so, Becca?
• 1:08:33
  From our question, we're going to go all the way back to the
• 1:08:36
  summer of 1991, which was a magical time as there were not
• 1:08:41
  one but two Muppet attractions open at the Disney MGM Studios.
• 1:08:46
  So, Becca, for how many days were both?
• 1:08:51
  Muppet Vision 3D and Here Come The Muppets simultaneously in
• 1:08:56
  operation. 15 I'm sorry, the correct.
• 1:09:00
  Answer was 110 days. From May 16th.
• 1:09:06
  To September 2nd, hey. And I was alive for you.
• 1:09:11
  Were born when. 23. Of those days I was alive.
• 1:09:16
  You. You.
• 1:09:17
  Were born when the stars, Muppets, stars aligned, yeah,
• 1:09:22
  all. It all it took was, was Jim
• 1:09:24
  Henson dying, I mean. I mean, the thing was.
• 1:09:29
  In look the The project was in preparate, was in production
• 1:09:34
  when he died. They didn't decide when they
• 1:09:36
  were going to open it anyway we are.
• 1:09:40
  Now in our last game. Which is of course, say the
• 1:09:44
  word, and before we enter, say the word, Let's.
• 1:09:47
  Let's check the scores. So you both earned 15 points on
• 1:09:51
  that last one, meaning that the score is now Mel with 73 points
• 1:09:57
  and Matthew with 121 points. As we know.
• 1:10:04
  In, say, the word in this round, you can wager any amount of
• 1:10:10
  points. The winner gets those points and
• 1:10:13
  the loser loses those points, right?
• 1:10:16
  It's just like Final Jeopardy, except you do get to hear my
• 1:10:20
  question before you wager. So here's the.
• 1:10:28
  Like I alluded to earlier, Disney had a lot of plans to
• 1:10:32
  include The Muppets in MGM Studios right before Henson
• 1:10:36
  passed. Henson's tragic passing put a
• 1:10:39
  wrench in many of those ideas, though.
• 1:10:41
  Well, the plans began when Henson was still alive.
• 1:10:45
  It is believed that only one Walt Disney World attraction
• 1:10:50
  featuring The Muppets was completed during Jim Henson's
• 1:10:55
  lifetime. Sources are a little
• 1:10:57
  inconsistent here, but I'm trusting the majority belief.
• 1:11:02
  Anyway, this is a three-part question.
• 1:11:06
  What was this attraction? Where was it?
• 1:11:10
  Located within MGM Studios and what 2 Muppet characters
• 1:11:16
  appeared in it. So there's three parts to this
• 1:11:20
  question. So for those at home, I'm asking
• 1:11:22
  what was the one attraction featuring The Muppets that was
• 1:11:26
  open during Jim Henson's lifetime?
• 1:11:30
  Where was it located within MGM Studios?
• 1:11:34
  And what were the two Muppet characters, or I guess, who were
• 1:11:37
  the two Muppet characters who appeared in it?
• 1:11:40
  The current score is 121 points, Matthew 73.
• 1:11:46
  Points Now this is supposed to be very hard.
• 1:11:53
  I'm hoping it is and this isn't something that is maybe obvious
• 1:11:57
  and we have to get all three. Questions.
• 1:11:59
  No, whoever gets. More of them, correct?
• 1:12:02
  So for instance, Mel, if you get one of them right and Matthew if
• 1:12:06
  you get two of them right, Matthew you will earn the points
• 1:12:09
  back and Mel you will lose the points.
• 1:12:14
  So it's it's. That that incentivizes you to
• 1:12:17
  guess even if you don't know all three parts.
• 1:12:35
  Okay. So one of you has clearly been
• 1:12:38
  doing their homework and has gotten more of these questions
• 1:12:44
  right than the other. Mel, you bet all 73 of your
• 1:12:49
  points. And Mel?
• 1:12:52
  You said that the attraction was what?
• 1:12:59
  I was trying to think of things that were open.
• 1:13:01
  I have no idea what this is I. Have no idea what this is but I.
• 1:13:05
  Was trying to think of things that were open and so I thought
• 1:13:07
  that perhaps maybe there was a some sort of Muppet segments
• 1:13:11
  that I don't remember on the back lot tour, Okay.
• 1:13:15
  And that would be located where probably.
• 1:13:19
  In the Streets of America section Okay and.
• 1:13:22
  You guessed that it would include which two Muppets, I
• 1:13:25
  said. Bunsen and Beaker.
• 1:13:27
  Because you know why not OK, sadly.
• 1:13:30
  All three of those are incorrect.
• 1:13:32
  Well, I mean, I can. Vouch for personal account, Mel
• 1:13:38
  is not it wasn't technically an attraction, but when they were
• 1:13:42
  in production on The Muppets of Walt Disney World cuz Craig
• 1:13:45
  Shemmon did a presentation about this at the Museum of the Moving
• 1:13:49
  Image The Muppet the Jim Henson Productions crew.
• 1:13:54
  Did decorate their bungalow, which I think could it be seen
• 1:13:57
  from the back lot tour. OK, but it's closer, but
• 1:14:03
  obviously alive during. I believe they did decorate it.
• 1:14:07
  I don't believe. I don't remember what it was
• 1:14:09
  decorated with, but I do know that the team was down there and
• 1:14:13
  they did try to make their presence known and entertain a
• 1:14:17
  few guests well. Matthew, you bet all 121 points.
• 1:14:23
  And you said that the attraction was what?
• 1:14:27
  So I did not know this. I did not know the final
• 1:14:30
  question. But I was recently on Tori
• 1:14:33
  Schmidt's podcast live from Muppetland, where we covered The
• 1:14:37
  Muppets at Walt Disney World, and she asked me a trivia
• 1:14:42
  question, which just happened to be this very I didn't.
• 1:14:46
  Listen to that episode. I didn't listen to that episode.
• 1:14:50
  And not only that, I didn't tell Tory that I was doing this.
• 1:14:54
  So that is a wonderful coincidence.
• 1:14:57
  And that explains, and I hate to break this to you, Mel, that
• 1:15:01
  explains the accuracy of Matthew's response.
• 1:15:04
  Because Matthew, what is the attraction?
• 1:15:07
  The attraction was the stage show Hollywood's Pretty Woman,
• 1:15:12
  which was performed at Theater of the Stars, where Our Beauty
• 1:15:16
  and the Beast Live on stage is performed currently.
• 1:15:20
  And wasn't this like? Hosted by Roger Rabbit or
• 1:15:22
  something, I believe Roger Rabbit.
• 1:15:24
  Was involved. I mean, it was.
• 1:15:25
  It was, yeah. I mean, I don't.
• 1:15:27
  Remember exactly. When it opened, if it was 89 or
• 1:15:30
  90, I know it did open within his lifetime.
• 1:15:34
  Yeah, so. But Roger Rabbit was still like
• 1:15:38
  a huge hit for Disney and they were pushing that character
• 1:15:41
  wherever they could. It should be and the two
• 1:15:44
  characters. Who will be returning to the
• 1:15:46
  Theater of the Stars this holiday season as part of
• 1:15:50
  Jollywood Nights, Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy.
• 1:15:54
  Correct it was. The easiest two choices.
• 1:15:58
  So I will say even if I give, even if I were to have given Mel
• 1:16:02
  some points for back lot tour, Matthew definitely wins his
• 1:16:11
  points back and wins more points back.
• 1:16:14
  So with a final score of 242 points, our winner and today's
• 1:16:19
  toughest pig is Matthew Soberman.
• 1:16:26
  Congrats. You were?
• 1:16:28
  Wonderful to. Work with.
• 1:16:31
  Hey, I learned stuff I didn't know.
• 1:16:33
  Listen, listen. I'm I'm really glad to have had
• 1:16:37
  both of you. But Matthew, you of course win a
• 1:16:42
  fabulous prize. That is either your choice of
• 1:16:46
  some very expired Dole Whip from 1994 or this magnet of Waldo C
• 1:16:54
  graphic himself. Well, you know, I don't.
• 1:16:57
  Have any expired Dole Whip but that Waldo graphic?
• 1:17:02
  That Waldo magnet is too good to pass out.
• 1:17:04
  And I will. Say because I still owe you a
• 1:17:08
  magnet for when from when you guessed.
• 1:17:12
  A question about Bugsy them correct on Twitter.
• 1:17:16
  So I did make you an extra magnet as well, Matthew, to go
• 1:17:19
  along with Waldo. Oh wow, I have a set.
• 1:17:27
  Of Muppet vision. You've got a set.
• 1:17:29
  Of Muppet vision magnets, and they will be coming your way.
• 1:17:34
  All right. Well.
• 1:17:35
  That brings us to the end of another one, so guests.
• 1:17:39
  Let's talk Where can people find you if you wish to be found,
• 1:17:42

  person who would invite his nephew to a bug Fry and Petunio
• 1:20:46
  is like the flower except with an O.
• 1:20:49

• 1:20:53
  brand consistency on Instagram, Tumblr, and Blue Sky.
• 1:20:57
  I am at tall Girl Petunia all one word, and that time the
• 1:21:02

• 1:21:07
  people for helping out our guests.

  Thank you for having me. This is so.
• 1:21:15
  I love Muppets. And I love game shows and I love
• 1:21:18
  Disney parks. You've made this the highlight
• 1:21:21
  of the week. Well, and it's only Monday, so
• 1:21:25
  hopefully it'll remain. Well, if it remains the
• 1:21:28
  highlight, then that means you probably have a pretty terrible
• 1:21:30
  week. So I don't know what to think.
• 1:21:32
  But I also want to thank Stacy Rosen for writing the theme
• 1:21:36
  music to the show. Richard Gomez for doing our host
• 1:21:40
  artwork. Thank you to Joe Hennis, the
• 1:21:43
  Tough Pigs Muppet Fan Podcast Executive Producer.

  Yeah, absolutely. And and as I, as I thanked
• 1:22:02
  earlier, thank you to me listening to the complete
• 1:22:06
  podcast, the ride backlog, for teaching me how to act like I
• 1:22:10
  know what theme parks are. And anyway, thanks to all of you
• 1:22:16
  at home for being with us on Hobowa, the Muppet Quiz Show.
• 1:22:21

• 1:22:25
  Maelstrom and the Yeti are best friends and it's time we all
• 1:22:29
  admitted it. Thanks everybody.
• 1:22:36
  Hey, what's all the commotion about?
• 1:22:38
  Horny ran away. Well, you know what?
• 1:22:40
  That makes you smarter than us.
