Happy searching. Hi, I'm Jake.
I'm Ashley. And this is the wonderful thing
about Disney Podcast. Because Disney's a wonderful
thing. Come on down, stop on by, hop a
carpet and fly with us as we discuss the parks, treats, and
all things Disney with new episodes every wonderful
Wednesday. What's up everybody?
Happy, wonderful. Wednesday we're back, and I
guess you could call this game week.
Yeah. I think so.
I think so.
We've got a new game that we're trying out this week, so
logically it's going to be fine. Totally.
It's going to be amazing. This is, I don't know what we're
calling this battle Royale. Yeah, yeah.
I guess I don't know what else to call it.
So, OK, listen, here's how all this came together.
We two were just kind of thinking through some episode
ideas. We realized we haven't like,
tapped into our good friend ChatGPT in a while.
Yeah. So we thought, let's bring chat
back. And we're going to do it in an
absolutely ridiculous way. Because why not?
And because it's us.
And that is where we came up with this idea for Battle
Royale. So here's the premise.
We are going to each take turns asking ChatGPT for one random
Disney animated character. Yep.
You get 1, I get one and they go head to head in a battle to the
death. Yeah.
And I'm curious to see if chat because we're doing it about the
same time, like if chat will pick similar characters, if we
get like repeats, if it's the most ridiculous character.
Yeah, I don't know. We'll find out.
Right. But the premise is you had a
debate like your life depended on it.
And I I hate debating so I feel like I will not be very good at
this. Well, feel free to keep track at
home and let us know what you think as we go through these
head to So here we go, typing in the prompt.
ChatGPT pick me a random Disney animated character.
OK, I my God, I have mine. All right, I've got mine.
Oh, I've got mine. I got mine.
Ladies first. Mine.
Yeah, who did you get? Chat chose Tiana.
Tiana. I mean, at least you've got a
Princess. True, she turns into a frog,
but. Right.
Well. This is going to go well.
I got Blue the bear. OK.
I feel like no matter which form Tiana takes, I feel like I've
got this one in the bag. I mean, if it's like a cooking
battle Royale, she's got you. No, yeah, but again, we were
talking battle to the death. So what's she going to do?
Poison her gumbo? Maybe.
She could. I don't know.
She could powder you with all the, you know, like powdered
sugar from all her beignets. I don't know like.
He's a jungle bear. But he's like, funny.
I mean, yeah, he's light hearted until someone comes after his
man Cub. I guess.
I'm sorry, I don't think there's any world where Tiana beats Balu
in a battle Royale to the death. I don't think so either.
OK, I heard you could if I take the point on this one.
You got the point on this one. And we're off and running like a
herd of turtles. OK, are.
You ready to go again? No.
All right, Round 2. Round 2.
Putting in the prompt, pick me a random Disney animated
character. I I swear if our phones aren't
listening to us. What did you get?
I got blue this time. Shut up.
For real, No way. Should I pick another one?
No, I mean like that is what it is.
I guess I got Megara from Hercules.
OK, I don't know what to say other than she's got Hercules
defending her. No, no, no, no, you don't get
sidekicks. What?
No, you don't get sidekicks. Why no?
She can't. She gave up her life for
Hercules like she has. After she was trying to tempt
him to the underworld. Yeah, I'm sorry.
I think Balu has got this one. What is she going to do?
Maybe she could start singing and distract him because he has
an affinity for great songs. OK.
And then knock him over the head with a Thunderbolt.
No, you can't have Hercules as you can't have the sidekick.
Maybe she borrows a Thunderbolt from Zeus.
What? No.
No, I'm sorry. Maybe she beats him over the
head with a Greek pot. No, I'm sorry, in what world
does Meg beat Blue? The Underworld.
Oh my God, no. Fine.
I won't give you this one. No, I get this one.
No, I think blue. Blue beats Meg.
OK so basically blue is 2 and O. Right.
No, this is supposed to be like new ones every time, but that's
fine. Yeah, OK.
Well, anyway, it's one to one. Yeah.
Oh, dear. OK, putting in the prompt.
Oh my God. What?
Oh no. I need to pick.
What? What did you get?
No lie. What I got, Meg?
Wait are you serious? Come on ChatGPT, step your game
up. Well, I got Cusco.
OK. At least that's different.
I mean I'm we're getting the same characters or should I pick
another one I. Don't know.
See, this is we don't know what to.
Do well here. Here's the thing.
We said that we're just letting chat pick rando characters.
OK, well then let's go with Meg. That's what he gave me.
I've got Cusco and he's got the power of a spitting llama.
Right, I think, I think Meg beats Cusco.
How do you? Think Meg beats Cusco.
He's like immune to poison. What?
No, he got turned into a llama because of poison.
Yeah, it didn't kill him. It llamafied him.
But he's so selfish, like all. No, he.
Changes by the end. OK.
He's the emperor of Peru. And you've got Meg, who will
marry Hercules. No, you said you could not use
Hercules. No, no, no, no.
I don't know. I think this is a valid, valid
argument that Cusco could beat Meg.
She's very, very thin framed. One llama kick to the abdomen
and she's done. But would she let Cusco get like
that close or would she be like keep him away?
Is she going to be like back off?
How would she keep him away? She is a strong, independent
woman. That's I'm not disputing that.
I don't. I think Cusco wins.
What? What is Meg going to do?
What is Cusco going to do? He's going to kick her with his
llama hooves and then dance on her grave.
And build Cusco. Top.
He barely survived the jungle, like if it wasn't for Pacha he
would not have survived. But he did survive, and now he's
got jungle cred. It's like street cred.
Because of Pacha, he. Doesn't matter.
Meg died. Not even Hercules could save
her. He had to go to the underworld
and drag her dirty soul back from the dead.
Oh my. God.
OK, fine. I guess I gave you this one.
I don't know, just because I don't want to fight you anymore.
I don't like debating. Fine, let us know who you think
should actually have won. Please do that one this.
Episode sounded a lot better in our heads.
Right. What are we on now?
Round 4. Yes, 4.
OK, here we go. UDA Lolly.
I'm going to win. I've got the boss character of
all characters. OK.
Who do you get? Oh no.
I have Olaf. You got Olaf.
Olaf in round four. Olaf the Magical Snowman versus
Lady Cluck from Robin Hood. OK.
I actually thought it was Robin Hood and I was like, Olaf has no
chance. He has no.
Chance against Lady Cluck? What?
Are you kidding? Have you seen her on the
football field? She ran through a whole pack of
rhinos. Lady Cluck has got that sass.
She got that soul. I guess that's true.
And she can Peck his eyes out, check his carrot off.
Well, Olaf can turn into whatever character he wants.
So he can turn into, I don't know, some kind?
Of he's a snowman. Yeah, but I mean, he, he can do
anything. He's a snowman.
He can turn any into anything that he wants to.
He melts. No, he's got the cloud now.
He's fine. He doesn't.
He's got the little snow flurry. He's not going to melt.
I feel like Lady Cluck, who's the sassy mother hen, would beat
the snot out of Olaf. Olaf could, I don't know, take
his carrot nose and I don't know, OK, fine, she.
Could throw eggs at him. I don't like this.
I'm just glad I got lady clock. Like she's low key my my Disney
character crush. She's awesome.
She's my spirit animal. My gosh.
OK, Round. Five round 5.
I swear what? Maybe it's because we're on the
same Wi-Fi, or we're putting the prompts in at the same time.
Similar character. OK, who?
I got Robin Hood. Oh, Dang it.
Well, I got Jim Hawkins OK from Treasure Planet.
I got Robin Hood. Really, really trying to explain
any sort of debate or defense of why Jim Hawkins would stand a
chance against Robin Hood. Robin Hood is trustworthy.
He's loyal. Is he thrifty, brave, clean and
reverent, as well as Robin Hood, a Boy Scout?
No, I mean it could be. Oh no.
I mean, he does. He does steal from the rich to
give to the poor. Yeah, that's true.
I mean, so all around a good guy like would do the right thing in
the battle. But this is a battle to the
death. So what's he going to do?
Like, I don't want to kill you, Jim.
I'm just going to shoot you in the leg.
Hey, if he still wins if it takes the other guy out, he
doesn't have to kill him. Yeah, well, Jim Hawkins is a
thrill seeking solar surfer. Great.
I don't. Great.
Yeah, it really, it really doesn't do much for me.
I mean, I'm, I'm really, really trying to defend the poor kid.
But no, I think he's toast. I think Robin Hood.
Robin Hood. Easily defeats him.
Robin Hood gets round 5. Oh man.
Points. OK, fine.
OK. I was doing so well.
Bring me back, Lady Cluck. All right, moving on.
What? No.
What did you get? I swear.
OK, I can't make this up. What did you get?
I got Cusco. You got.
Cusco, I'm getting all of your repeats.
Chat needs to step its game up. It's getting lazy.
I got Eve. From Wally, yeah.
What he's. I don't even know what to say.
I haven't even seen all of Wally because I just didn't really
care for it. Sorry everyone, don't kill me.
Well then, Cusco wins. I mean, she's a floating robot
in outer space. Yeah, who got like she ended up
getting reset and then didn't even remember Wally.
So essentially kind of like. That's how this movie ends.
I mean, it's towards the end. You're kidding me.
This movie's terrible. What a heartbreaking.
Tale. No, sorry.
What that? Was Wally?
Never mind. Wally gets reset.
Wally doesn't remember Eve. What the heck?
That's even worse. Who made this movie?
I'm never watching Wally. I take it back.
Y'all can hate me all you want. I'm never watching this movie.
It's. They have like pins of even
Wally at Valentine's Day, like they're a symbol of Disney love,
and then he just like, gets reset and forgets all about her.
That's terrible. I'm sorry.
Man, what a horrible movie. You know what?
Maybe, maybe she could use her heartache and angst as anger
fuel to fight back and beat Cusco.
You're not saying I'm. No.
The look on your face, you just. No.
How, how, how does that still
beat Cusco? I don't know.
Like you, I'm taking your own words.
Cusco is the emperor like he is. Well he's not going to attack
with a pack of llamas, he's just a llama himself.
Could she like ZAP him like R2D2 or BB8?
What? No.
Oh. This robot sucks.
I don't. Care, this movie sounds
terrible. So there was this time that
there was this country song by Lanco, like Greatest Love Story,
and that it didn't it like as you listen to the lyrics, it's
not that good. So I just didn't finish the
song. And then one day I mentioned
like, that song sucks and you're like, why?
It's really cute. I'm like, no, it's not.
They don't even end up together. And you're like, yeah, they do.
Did you not listen to the whole song?
And I said no because it made me sad and depressed, so I turned
it off. Turns out it's actually a pretty
great song regardless the point. I'm not watching Wally.
That movie sucks. It all turns out fine in the
end. We'll watch it.
No, I don't want to watch it. We'll watch it.
Yes, Wally is the one that loses his memory because she has to
fix. Him Is this like?
Is this like Pixar's The Notebook?
I mean, kinda, not really, I don't know.
I don't want to watch this movie.
Whatever, just take the point. I don't even care anymore.
I want a stupid robot. Oh my.
God, people are going to come for.
You. I don't care.
Round what are we on? Round seven.
OK, Give me something good, ChatGPT.
Oh, OK. OK.
Hey, I'm back. I'm back.
I'm sorry, everyone. Round 6 was rough for me.
I'm back. What do you have?
Uh oh. Not.
I'm not. Getting my hopes up what I got,
lady. Lady the dog, yeah.
From Lady and the Tramp. I'm I'm waving to you, Doctor
Facilier. OK.
He's got friends on the other side.
He's a villain though. So what does that have to do?
With. Is she good?
She's kind of a bad dog. She doesn't listen very well.
No, she listens. She falls in love with a tramp.
And eat spaghetti with him. Yeah, thrown out spaghetti.
Yeah, there's no way Lady wins in this scenario.
She has to go to a freaking Beaver just to free her from a
dog Beaver muzzle. Where would she be if it wasn't?
For that Beaver, she doesn't have the street smarts.
No, she doesn't. I mean, she's a cute dog.
And in the show, there's no way that we would ever promote
animal violence or cruelty in any set form.
Doctor Facilier, though, would put her in a very nice
retirement kennel. And yeah, she's done.
Facilier wins. Moving on.
Dang back. I am back.
There's no way. I am back OK #8. #8.
Chad, what have you got for me? Oh, what?
OK, What? No.
I think I will win this one. I don't know, I've got a cult
classic at my fingertips. I think I wouldn't this one.
I have Milo Thatch, the main protagonist from Atlantis The
Lost Empire. And I have hades.
But wait, there's a sequel called Milo's Return.
Great, I. Didn't even know that was a real
movie. I have the ruler of the
underworld. Does Milo do anything cool?
I mean I notice he like falls for the the cool like Atlanta
native woman. He he overthrows Zeus on Mount
Olympus. Well, like he can.
Do anything. He ultimately married Kaida and
he became the King Konsort, whatever that is.
He's a king now. Or he's a consort to the king.
Yeah, it's fine. Hades dominates.
Like, how do you argue that? Like I'm fighting the king of
the underworld. Yeah, I don't know.
OK, I win that one. God.
All right, So if we are keeping. Score if we are.
You have 4 and I have 4:00. All right, that leaves us 2 more
left. I honestly, this was getting a
little shaky at first, but in the end it turned out OK.
Like this is all right. This is all right.
Yeah. OK, Oh, OK.
This one's intriguing to me. This one is intriguing to.
Me. OK, who do you have?
I have Turk. Oh my God.
Tarzan What? Oh.
Never mind. Sorry, what do you think?
What do you think I had? I have Raya.
The Last Dragon. Yeah, well, I have Turk.
Yeah, but what's the? She's got the straight or she
she. Sorry, ladies, she has the
strength of gorilla power and she's also voiced by Rosie
O'Donnell. So I mean, you've got the the
strength of Rosie O'Donnell with.
You anything without tantor like tantor?
Tantor doesn't do anything else. She does is ride Tantor.
He doesn't even know a peanut from a parsnip.
She's she's a gorilla. And honestly, I think again,
being voiced by Rosie O'Donnell, I feel like that should count.
Rosie's scary. Whatever happened to Rosie, by
the way? No, actually.
Yeah. Well, again, I think again,
we've got we've got a jungle gorilla.
Maybe it's not like Tarzan's adopted gorilla stepfather, but
like, I mean, it is a gorilla. Yes, but Raya is a strong woman.
Yeah, a woman that doesn't. I mean, I guess she has.
Like, she doesn't even have a straight sword.
It's like weird crooked sword. It's Raya, though.
It's not. Is it Zazu sizu?
Zazu No. Zazu was in Lion.
King, I know what's So it's not the dragon.
No, it's Raya. Yeah.
I mean, you've got a gorilla versus 1/2 Princess.
Is she even a Princess? Did we ever decide that?
Disney let us know. Is she officially a?
Princess, I think we did. Oh, I don't know.
I think she is. Well, I don't know.
I mean she. So OK, so I if you Google it, I
was like positive things about cheating a little bit.
So Raya is fierce, highly skilled and an independent
warrior, which I said independent who breaks the
traditional damsel in distress mold.
While Turk grew up in the jungle with the same family as Tarzan.
Great. So she has that weird human
brother with the funky toes and she likes music and oh gosh.
I think Raya wins this one. Fine, fine.
Not great for me. Uncle Bob, if you're listening,
I need help. This was not great for me.
Last one. Oh no, we have.
One more, right? Yeah, yeah.
OK. What do you got?
Oh, what? Oh, come on.
Are you kidding me right now? Well, I would have said that I
would lose, but based on your reaction.
I'm going. It's not great.
Well, mine's not. Great.
OK. What do you have?
I have Jiminy Cricket. Jiminy Cricket.
Jimmy Cricket literally can't hold me Jiminy Cricket, so I
have unless powerful speeches are your.
I I have the great mouse detective himself, dazzle of
Baker Street. The cricket dies.
The cricket dies tonight. Ain't nobody needs a conscience
up in this place. Yeah, there's, I'm sorry,
there's no way, Jiminy Cricket. It's like that's Basil.
The only way Jiminy Cricket wins in this scenario is if he
listens to his conscience and runs away, right?
Maybe. But maybe that's part of it.
Maybe he just, you know, like PETA.
No, like PETA in The Hunger Games.
He can just like, go and hide. Until.
Everybody else like kills themselves.
No, no, Yeah. Hey.
It's thought, yeah, Jimmy Kroger can just go hide.
You can't use my own logic against me.
That was my. Own hide until Basil because
like Basil's very daring. He does a lot of he like he, he
might just like fall into a trap or something and lose.
And then Jimmy Kroger gets just out there hiding.
How would he fall into a trap? I don't know someone else at the
trap. I'm, I'm thinking Hunger Games
now. Well, you are, and that's not
what we're about here. I'm sorry.
Robin Hood made a trap. No.
That Basil falls into. No.
And then Jiminy Cricket wins because.
What? No, Jiminy Cricket doesn't.
No, that guy's, he almost died in the ocean.
The only thing that saved him was an air bubble.
He's helpless. I already gave you the .0.
Good. OK, I was going to say.
But I was I was trying to see how far you could take this one.
I, I just, I sit there. I don't know, like Jiminy
Cricket for anything was just so ridiculous.
Like how can I possibly lose? I tried.
OK, here's the thing gang. We're now tied 5 to 5.
I feel like we need a tiebreaker.
OK. So OK, here's the here's the
options. Do you get to pick 1 champion
from your list to go against each other as the tiebreaker, or
do you want to just have chat pull one random?
No, I think we have chat. Pull one more.
OK, I am, I am nervous. I'm really scared.
And I'm not really sure that this is going to work out very
well for me. Oh, boy.
Oh, no. Oh no.
OK, I have mine. I'm just kidding.
I got this in the bag. Who did you get?
I got stitch what I got stitch. I got mad, Madam Mim.
Oh, this might be actually our best match.
We've we've wasted this entire episode just to get to the main
event. This one might be the best of
all. Stitches like the King of Chaos.
He is the king of Chaos. Have we confirmed that anything
can kill that little bugger? No.
But also Madam Mim, I mean, she's got magical powers, she
can change forms. She also breaks the rules.
Yes she does. She cheats and plays dirty and
I'm here for it. So.
But but what? I don't know.
I mean like it's stitch. It's Madame Mim, like the only
reason she lost to Merlin is because he had to turn her sick
and because of a virus. Because she broke the rules.
Because she didn't listen. She's a villain, what do you
expect? Well, stitches.
Stitches. Stitch can be a cute little
alien dog, and then maybe Madame Mim will feel bad for him and
then she'll save his life. I don't show him mercy.
You know what? There's only one way, only one
way to wrap this up, ChatGPT. Who would win in a battle?
Now we're letting chat win or chat pick the winner.
Yes, we are. Maybe we should have done the
episode that way. Maybe, but then it wouldn't have
been fun. That's true.
Arguing against each other. OK, Are you ready?
The prompt is who would win in a battle Royale between Stitch and
Mad Madame Mim? OK, in a straight up battle
Royale? Oh my gosh.
Stitch probably wins more often than not, but Madame Mim makes
it chaotic. Why Stitch has the edge?
So I win. Super strength, speed,
durability, near indestructibility.
Right we. Said genius level problem
solving. Survived explosions, plasma
weapons and crashes. Fights aggressively and adapts
fast. Yeah why mem is dangerous.
Reality bending magic shape shifts into Dragons, snakes,
tigers, etcetera. Can attack from range with
spells and transformations. Yeah, basically Con cartoon
wizard, unpredictable. Yeah, she's unpredictable, but
Stitch is almost indestructible, so Stitch wins.
The deciding factor According to Chat Madame Mim's magic is
powerful, but she's also reckless and easily distracted.
Stitch is relentless and weirdly tactical under pressure.
Whose side are you on, Chat? If she chooses the distance
quickly, Mim probably gets overwhelmed before she can
control the fight. If the battle drags out and Mim
gets creative with magic, she absolutely has upset potential.
But in a scenario where they ran this 10 times, Stitch wins 7 out
of 10. Chad also notes that it will
also be one of the funniest Disney fights imaginable.
Well, Chad doesn't know anything.
OK. Friends, I don't really know
what this was. We didn't know how this episode
would go. Did you like it?
Did you not? We can always run it back again.
Or we can leave it to Hades in the underworld.
You tell us if we if we need to do this again, but at the end of
the day, we are nothing if not entertaining.
Thank you for listening. Thank you, Chad.
GBT. And apparently Stitch wins
everything. So there you go, Ashley.
The crown is yours. Well done.
