The Longest Podcast About a Trip No One Asked For
This is the longest podcast we’ve done so we asked ChatGPT to listen and name it. It didn’t hold back and threw some shade with the title. Siren’s Curse review, 2026 weak roller coaster lineup, Dollywood prediction, why Lost Island should be like Savannah Bananas, and so much more (obliviously given the length).
