And so I'm texting them, and I'm like, can we please just put a moratorium on this? It's a great job, but I can no longer listen to these songs on a loop.

There were two rides that I always wanted to be the sort of host of. One was this ride called The Great Movie Ride. And then the other was The Jungle Cruise. Right.
