Stop Hating on Disney Adults with John Stamos May 23, 2023

Picture this, it’s a beautiful day in Southern California, you’re walking down Main Street USA, the smell of churros in the air, your favorite childhood songs are playing in the background, and in the distance you can even see the beautiful skyline of planet Batuu, Sleeping Beauty’s Castle, and the frosty peaks of Matterhorn Mountain. Sounds pretty magical right? We LOVE Disney over here on BTIKP, but some stupid internet trolls just LOVE to hate on anyone who loves Disney as an adult. But, WHY?? Why does the internet get so heated when an adult likes Disney? This makes us want to scream louder than when we’re being whipped around on Space Mountain. So we had to call in an expert on this one. This week we are joined by Disney superfan, and our favorite uncle, John Stamos, to chat about his love of Disney, his Disney memorabilia collection, and why people should have mercy with Disney adults. So put on your best pair of Mickey ears, because we’re taking you on a ride to The Happiest Place on Earth!

Why is it that when a movie or a TV show is based on a true story, all the sudden we become that much more interested in whatever we’re watching? Is it the IRL drama?

We’re fascinated by every detail of these stories, but what actually happens behind the scenes after someone in the spotlight F’s up?
