    A favorite of mine!
    I love the show. I’ve been listening for the past 4 or 5 years, and it’s always fun to gear up for a trip to one of the parks or attractions that the hosts have covered by listening to them talk about its history and evolution I like the vibe from the guys. I definitely enjoy it most when they get into the behind-the-scenes kinda stuff, with lots of facts and trivia about the origins of different parks, rides, etc.

    The Sector Keeper gives me strength!
    Stumbled on this podcast as I was looking for a summer road trip podcast. 3 months later and I can’t stop listening. The City Walk Saga had me in tears laughing many times. Looking forward to my own ride of catching up on 4 years of the best dry theme park content with the good boys!! Update: I’ve made all the way up to 2022 listening to every episode along the way. I’m back to share my specific delightment with Jamborweek! What an amazing week culminating with the improved live jamboree. It had me laughing in tears. Still singing “Firefly Hooch” and I’m not mad about it.

    My favorite podcast of all time
    I love this show. The good boys share my (sometimes inexplicable) fascination with themed entertainment, especially Disney. However, it is their humor, friendship, and intelligence that makes this show so special and compelling. Looking forward to their inevitable 70-day exploration of Disney Springs.

    IN THE NAME OF THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD
    best podcast ever. the boys are my parasocial besties. i hope you never run out of attractions and malls
  • Vlachhcalv
    Best theme park (related) podcast hands down
    Only thing that could make it better would be more Botanicus coverage. Like a weekly Botanicus update….

    Pretty Good but TOO MUCH NIXON BASHING
    President Richard Nixon pulled himself up by his bootstraps and rose to the presidency in the United States! He went to college and worked as a gas station attendant! He was never attractive or popular, but was always a diligent, smart man with incisive decision-making abilities and I will NOT stand by and have his good name be besmirched by three FAKE good boys!! The president is to be honored and respected! HAVE SOME DECENCY! MY CHILD LISTENED TO THIS PODCAST AND NOW HE WALKS AROUND THE HOUSE YELLING “PRESIDENT NIXON WAS BAD MAN! WHEN I GROW UP I WANT TO WORK IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR!” My wife wants a divorce! You’ve ruined my life, Podcast: The Ride. Please show President Nixon the kindness and generosity of spirit he earned during his two terms in office!

    A TRUE JOY FOR ALL
    This show is funny, plenty of goofs are had, plenty of jokes are made… sure some tangents come about the maybe go on a little longer than they should and sure… maybe a reference to a certain fondness for a certain female mouse character is made a little too often but, gosh darn it who else is willing to talk about churros, dark rides and over priced appetizers at your favorite theme park dining establishment ? That’s right, no one else. No one else is brave enough. A salute and a SIVAKO to The Good Boys.

    How have you not ran out of things to talk about
    Don’t Give up please
  • Rog808
    My only goal in life…
    …is to get famous enough to be a guest on the podcast. I’m going to do the first Aulani episode (calling it), and I’ll finally set the record straight on the name of the proprietor of the resort’s Beach House, no matter what Paul Scheer says. The good boys will be so impressed with my quick wit and deep theme park knowledge, they’ll approach me on air about becoming the fourth host. I will solemnly decline and ask that this part of the interview be edited out. As much of an honor as it would be, the commitment would take too much time away from my true passion: making sweet yet primal love to my girlfriend, Angelina Jolie in the mid-90’s cyber thriller Hackers. As I exit through the gift shop, I’ll plug my new 4 part docuseries on Netflix, “Why Here? The Lake Nona Story.” As to the quality of the podcast, I can only say this: when I was in the home stretch of a marathon last year, and every step I took sent red shockwaves of agony to 14 different parts of my body simultaneously, the only force strong enough to dissociate my mind from my pain receptors was listening to these three men debate which characters do and do not have “seats.” 5/5, would recommend.

    Hanging out with my friends.
    It’s almost like having friends, I think. I am a member of the “college audience.” And, when I have to make a call… …. I use the den.
  • Austinnnnnnnnnnnnnn
    Burbank’s biggest stars are America’s favorite leading men
    You don’t have to be into theme parks to get a laugh.

    Love You Jason
    Funny show from guys that are truly passionate about theme parks and being each others best friends.
  • Sally Cabot
    Good time waster
    Very funny podcast, though I never listen to the guest hosts. The three hosts have natural charisma even if they occasionally give off “failed comedy writer”bitterness. Best stuff is beyond Patreon
  • seaweedd_
    Very funny
    chwenty chweet chwitter bechween They’re hilarious despite that.
  • EMech
    love!
    A charming and diverting way to spend time and yet, I now have two annual passes. I blame them.
  • Pettownfan
    A must listen! If you love Disney and aren’t easily offended.
    I am addicted to this podcast. I will listen when I don’t care about the topic because the tangents are just so good!
  • tianajanelle
    So nice I listened twice
    I love the evolution of the friendship through the series. As I went back to binge from Episode 1, I laughed until I cried. Thanks for the memories and pulling me out of the mundane. Points for more bawdiness in the future.

    Lucky 66
    As of today I’m 66 episodes in and I finally left a review. You lit-tull boys passed the test! I can’t wait to listen to 66 more. Loved the Country Bears episodes. Bear-y good, guys!
  • Annie_in_Louisiana
    Funny, good-natured, and nostalgic
    I love these (Good) boys!
  • Tahsbart
    One of my faves
    I love listening to these three banter. On occasion I might find it a little dry but that’s only because I’m completely unfamiliar with the topic. I’ll still listen though because having this podcast on in the background feels like having some friends around.
  • Audio Ghost
    Great fun!
    I actually found this podcast by looking to see what other shows were on the Forever Dog network, and I’ve had a great time so far. As someone who loves theme parks and the craft of it all, I feel a kindred spirit with y’all, despite the fact 2/3rds of the hosts not liking thrill rides. Listening to this chronologically has been a LITTLE painful when they discuss plans for upcoming parks, since I know that the 2020 pandemic shutdown looms in their future, but that’s not a criticism of the show as much as it is a sad fact of life. Bugsy was a fun bit. #BoneBoysForever
  • MemBrian
    Love this show
    It’s a great podcast when it’s not bawdy.
  • ofg94
    A+ banter and host vibez
    I went to Disney world once when I was 4, six flags a handful of times as a teen, and have minimal interest in spending my own money on theme parks as an adult, but nonetheless I will happily listen to these dudes talk about parks and related nonsense all day long because they’re just so pleasant to listen to.

    Three good boys and a bone gangsta
    Some of the bad reviews make me like this podcast more. Only complaint is not enough Bugsy Bones!
  • Derek Brusin
    This podcast will give you strength.
    Just three good boys talking about parks. Worth the listen. Topics include: hot dogs, haunts, odd flavored juul combinations, theme parks, theme park rides, Cinnabon, and more.
  • Chris D.
    Disappointing
    A really cool concept for a show but like a lot of pop culture podcasts these days the virtue signaling hosts can’t help but work in their left-wing woke politics whenever the opportunity presents itself. Is a fluffy Podcast about theme park attractions really the place to set up your DEI pulpit? Lame.

    ⭐️The Good Boys⭐️
    I listen to podcasts all day, everyday from all genres and have to say this one is by far my favorite. My love for Disney brought me to this podcast but their take on it is creative and hilarious. It is so much more than a theme park podcast, these guys can talk about anything and I will listen. They consistently crank out new episodes and their Patreon is well worth the $8 a month.
  • Banshee Neet
    Very nice
    They are very well behaved but sometimes get into a little bit of mischief, what fun!

    The Tangents Are the Point.
    The ultimate “it’s like hanging out with friends” show, PTR is essential listening for fans of theme parks, obsessive fandom of often long-gone celebrities and ephemera, and snacks. Think of a theme park attraction you’ve always loved, spin through the back catalogue, and see if they did an episode on it. Or a four-part deep dive on it. then join their Patreon to enjoy all eight episodes about the Country Bear Jamboree. Whatever the topic, it’s guaranteed they’ll talk about it for at least 30% of the episode. The tangents are the point. Hail the Good Boys!
  • Tiki815
    Always amazing
    No matter the topic, I always know I’m going to hear something tangentially about something that is slightly related to the topic and it’ll be very entertaining. Can’t get enough of these Good Boys, thru give me strength.
  • RobertDenby
    Don't do inhalants
    80s and 90s nostalgia that doesn’t fall into the trap of saying nothing new of substance about what it covers. The McGruff and Joe Camel episodes in particular are some of the funniest episodes of podcasts I’ve ever heard.
  • Iammatty11
    Solid
    Good podcast. Do more resort shows

  • tlove84
    More Mickey impressions plz
    I have a different favorite good boy with each episode. And nothing tops the Mickey’s House episode for me. Fingers crossed we get a live show in Denver when Casa Bonita is back open for business 🤞🏻
  • JonPernisek
    Obsessed
    I’ve quickly become obsessed with Podcast: The Ride, as it has proven to be a soothing balm in these trying times. I’m a top tier Patron and have slowly been making my way through the Patreon feed (backwards, because I’m a freak like that). These are very good boys who deserve your time and attention. Their love for each other is clear from the outset and it warms my heart.

    Love my parasocial relationship with these dudes. Thanks for the laughs. ❤️

    My Favorite Podcast
    Hilarious. Earnest. Nostalgic. If you grew up brainwashed by peak 90’s Michael Eisner and can bare to smile for a couple hours straight, this is the podcast you’re looking for.

    Haunted Mansion Episodes
    Welp I have only listened to every HM episode they have done on Halloween. I cranked them out this week, and when I tried to listen to this year’s….I remembered we are sadly still in summer. Can’t wait to see what they say about Avatar2 actually coming out this year 😂
  • LMN 11/03
    What is this podcast actually about?
    10% of the episodes are spent talking about the subject in the title. The other 90% is spent making inside jokes and hopping from one unrelated topic to another.
  • jon c r
    Get to the point
    Is there a point? They often get to the theme of the episode after a full hour of going down rabbit holes that have nothing to do with the show.
  • Michael Antonelli
    deeply love this show
    Jason and i experienced 9/11 in the same high school
  • ChristinaofCali
    ❤️ this podcast!
    I’ve been a fan for a long time and the show is always the perfect distraction of required Disney dorkiness.
  • Bears fan34
    The best!
    Everything is great! Jason,Mike and Scott. I look forward to every Friday. This is a great change of pace for some of the more diluted theme park podcast. The comedy, the satire and most importantly the love of all the weird stuff themed experiences. The rabbit holes these guys find are truly wonderful.
