I used to work at Bubba Gump Shrimp! Would definitely put it in the same category
Giraffe Theory
Haha, this was the weirdest podcast for me to listen to. I grew up in Schaumburg and remember the brief period the Mars 2112 was at Woodfield. I never ate there but I remember going in to sneak a peek. For some context, Woodfield is actually a massive mall - - it was the largest mall in the US when it opened and is still pretty high on the list today. So its not a super strange choice of venue if they wanted to expand out to the midwest. And appropriate to the discussion of Disney Quest and disappointing knock-offs, it's right next to the LEGOLand Discovery Center
