This week, Jim Hill and Len Testa dig into one of the most unexpectedly heartwarming stories in Disney history, the rise (and fall) of Push, the talking trash can who stole hearts in Tomorrowland. From his humble garage-built beginnings to his mysterious disappearance in 2014, Jim reveals how a simple rolling robot outlasted most of Disney’s high-tech character experiments. Plus, the guys tackle the latest Disney and Universal park rumors, strange guest surveys, and Halloween candy economics.

  • Why Disney is quietly rethinking crowd flow and Lightning Lane logistics at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
  • Universal's rumored plans for a Fast & Furious drifting coaster
  • How a new SeaWorld event called "Paradise Nights" could shake up Orlando nightlife
  • The truth behind those "subscription" annual pass surveys at Universal
  • The real story of Push the Talking Trash Can, Disney's low-tech robot with a 19-year run

From fun-sized candy drama to a trash can with better comedic timing than most sitcoms, this episode proves Disney magic can roll on two wheels and talk back.
