It’s really unfortunate that Justin got interrupted at 23:24. I wanted to hear what he had to say to wrap up his thoughts. Seems like Tom thought Justin was done and started talking, then didn’t hear Justin trying to continue. I see this happen a lot ever since the show switched to Streamyard; seems the audio for someone doesn’t come through clearly for others, it’s loudest wins.

Oh crap that was entirely my fault. I wasn't looking at Justin and thought he was done. I shall do better. (Tom)

Long time listener from the BOL days (lost DTNS and recently refound it), Just getting around to episode 4495 where Tom was talking about visiting Universal Nintendo World, and wanted to just remind everyone that, when it first opened in CA, there was some debate going around the Internet that Universal said they were restricting Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge riders to only those with a 40-inch waist. You can imagine the debate this started. Parents wouldn't be able to ride with their kids. Guests who travel across the country just to experience the ride only to find they couldn't fit. This actually happened to me a few years ago when I went to ride Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey in Orlando only to discover the test demo car outside didn't have enough legroom for my 6'0" frame, so couldn't ride it with my friends. This is just a reminder to do your research before going to the theme parks and check the test cars before waiting in line (unless you just want to see the queues, which are amazing even if you can't go on the ride). Oh, and speaking about Zelda films, there are some great Midjourney results of a potential Studio Gibli Legend of Zelda (just Google it, there are several different results) and I think that would fit much better than Illumination (just my .02). Keep up the great work. Marc K, aka Technomensch (ex-Florida Pat now in Northern VA) Here are the stories related to the topic.
