about

Jim tells the story of the time in 1997 when Disney thought it would be a good idea to enter the "state fair" market by setting up a competing event across the street from the actual fair. They started at the Washington State Fair and ... well, there's a reason we titled the show this way.

Hear all about this epic disaster, plus some news about Walt Disney World, on this show.
