Episode Overview

In this lively anniversary episode, Will and Sabrina celebrate two years of their DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movies) rewatch podcast. Instead of reviewing a new DCOM, they play a memory-testing game, trying to recall the ratings they originally gave to ten different Disney Channel classics. With help from Producer Tara, they reflect on their rankings, challenge each other's memories, and share behind-the-scenes anecdotes from the last two years of their podcast journey.

The episode is filled with nostalgia, humor, and friendly bickering, offering a fun recap for loyal listeners and newcomers alike.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

The Concept: DCOM Ratings Recall

• The game: Given a movie they've previously reviewed, Will and Sabrina must guess what rating they originally gave it (on each episode's unique “scale”).
• Criteria: Ratings were often based on personal enjoyment rather than direct comparison; exceptions were made for sequels.
  • Will: “I watch the movie and I just give it whatever score I have in my head. I’m not trying to compare it to anything else.” (05:39)
• Producer Tara keeps score and reads their original quotes for each movie.

Episode Conclusion

Will and Sabrina find more amusement than humiliation in their forgetful guesses, and Producer Tara’s clarifications lead to plenty of laughs. The reflection on almost 100 DCOM reviews leaves both grateful and slightly dazed by the sheer volume of quirky Disney fare they've consumed. They vow to revisit this format in the future.

“That was fun. By the way, I don't want to ask anybody out there to rate Magical Rewind on a scale of 1 to 10. I don't want to know!” – Will (33:51)

Next up: Another year, more DCOMs, and starting off with another look at "The Cheetah Girls."

For longtime fans and newcomers, this episode highlights the hosts’ honest, fun-loving approach to DCOMs, the unpredictability of nostalgia, and the endlessly debatable “correct” way to rate beloved childhood movies.

[Will]

Hey, everybody. Welcome back to Magical Rewind. We've got a very, very special episode for you because two years of Magical Rewind. Yes, folks, we've been doing this for two years. We started when I was only 21 years old. Unbelievable. We've hit quite the anniversary. Sabrina, as of this recording, how many decoms do you think we've recapped?

[Sabrina]

Oh, gosh. How many? Let's see. I feel like we've gotten close to at least 60, 70. You think more?

[Will]

We're approaching 100.

[Sabrina]

Oh, my gosh.

[Will]

We are approaching 100 movie recaps. Can you believe that? I can't. And you won't believe this, but we still have a lot to go. Yes. Disney Channel Original movies really are the gift that keeps on giving. Or, you know, some of them are just taking up 98 to 99 minutes of our lives. Those are the ones that have gone too long. It's happened. But we wanted to do something a little bit special for our anniversary. We thought as we close out another calendar year of the show, it would be fun to look back on the past and test our own memories of what we've seen. Oh, boy. Yikes. Can we even recall what we liked or hated in a movie? We know that we've caught some. I think the kids call it ish. That's just misspelled because we call it that we've caught from some of the films that we've done. So here we go. This seems very terrifying for me. I have trouble remembering my wife's name. It's Susan, I think. So what are your thoughts going into this?

[Sabrina]

I'm worried. I think we'll be good on the ones we really loved, the ones we really hate. But a mass majority of those in between, ones we are gonna have such a hard time figuring out.

[Will]

Here's the thing. I. So I was obviously told we were going to be doing this, but I did not want to look at the movies we were going to be. I didn't want to. I didn't cheat. I didn't look at the list. I truly have no idea what's coming. I will say this. I made a realization as I was thinking about this. People are always like, you know, I'll see in the comments. How could you give a making up something? How could you give Brink a six when you gave double team to whatever. I don't ever compare one movie to another movie.

[Host/Announcer]

No.

[Sabrina]

Well, I try not to.

[Will]

Yeah. I literally don't. I just. I watch the movie and I give it whatever score I have in my head. I've forgotten the last movie we did. I'm not trying to compare it to anything else. So I never think to myself, like, well, I gave this one a seven, so I better give this one never. That I watch the movie and I just give it a number.

[Sabrina]

I think the only time to, like, that makes sense is when we're doing, like, a sequel, when we're doing, like, the zombies, you know, when we started getting into the three and then the four, you know, how is it going to change what's gonna make this one pop? That kind of stuff is the only time, really, where it's almost impossible to not compare because you're talking about pretty much the same act, you know, the same actors, same. Same thing. So other than that, Yeah, I think when you're. Even when you're discussing musicals, a music High School Musical versus the Descendants versus the Cheetah Girls, those versus Beat, you know, Teen beach, it's like you can't. They're all so different. You can't compare apples and oranges.

[Will]

I agree. All right, so here we go. We're going to jump right into this, but here's the best. Let's start easy. Okay, so what's in your opinion, the best movie we've seen so far?

[Sabrina]

Oh, the best.

[Will]

Yep.

[Sabrina]

Oh, my gosh. I mean, I think the ones that were a little bit more heartfelt, pulling at your strings. Right. You know, color of Friendship.

[Will]

You can't list two or three. What's your favorite movie so far?

[Sabrina]

Oh, boy. See, this is going to be so hard. I don't. I can't think of the one that I'm wanting to think of.

[Will]

All right, I'll jump in next. I think I have mine. I think it's still Miracle in Lane two. I thought was. I still thought was the best. It was just such a good movie, honestly.

[Sabrina]

Okay, so Heartfelt is different than where I'm going for than on this one. If yours is Miracle on Lane, then I'm gonna go. I'M honestly gonna go with that first Descendants movie. That one. Okay. Off my seat there. It really did.

[Will]

It was great. It was that opening number where they're running through the.

[Host/Announcer]

The.

[Will]

The. Yeah. Very, very good. Yeah.

[Sabrina]

That song. Talk about a catchy song. That sticks with you. Now I'm freaky. Gonna think about it all day.

[Will]

Yeah, no, that's a good. That's a good.

[Sabrina]

That one. I mean, it just was so creative.

[Will]

And so that first zombies movie in the, in the the category of what's going on, I mean, there have been some pretty great ones. All right, so. All right, let's get into this. We'll get the title of a movie that we've seen and we have to guess what we rated it numerically. Are you ready?

[Sabrina]

Yeah.

[Will]

All right, so let's kick it off with the Cheetah Girls.

[Producer Tara]

Oh, great.

[Sabrina]

Thank you.

[Will]

Which is our first movie. So a synopsis in case Sabrina, you've forgotten what this movie's about. It is a four member teen girl group named the Cheetah Girls go to a Manhattan high school for the performing arts and try to become the first freshman to win the talent show in the school's history. We ranked it, of course, on a scale of 1 to 10. Trapped. Bichon frises. So gonna be.

[Sabrina]

So I'm glad we get what we rated them.

[Host/Announcer]

What.

[Will]

What did, what did we give it?

[Sabrina]

I would probably still. I mean, I probably gave it like an eight.

[Will]

See, that's what. I think that's the number popped in my head. I think I gave it an 8. Bichon frises. Or close to it.

[Sabrina]

8 be trapped.

[Will]

Is somebody gonna tell us if we're right, by the way? Okay. Thank God.

[Producer Tara]

I actually have what you said as well. So Will, you gave it an 8.5.

[Will]

Okay.

[Host/Announcer]

Thank you.

[Producer Tara]

Like this movie. Great Disney Channel movie. Lost me with the dog at the end. Weird kind of way to get the band back together. And Sabrina said, I love the movie more than I thought I would. I thought I was going to give it a 4.5. I gave it a 7.

[Will]

Oh, gosh. Sabrina's bashing her own film. All right. I love it. It's literally your movie. Okay. I know.

[Sabrina]

So rewatching the trap dog was pretty.

[Will]

It was. It was a little much. It was a little much.

[Sabrina]

And someone just brought it up. Seeing them. I think it was when we were at the. The at Disneyland together. Someone brought up and said, oh, no, it was a jingle ball. And it was. And they said, oh, gosh, I wish I had my dog around here. So I could get a trap. So we could sing it out of.

[Will]

There you go. Yeah, you dropped my sport. Because of the dog. All right, number two, the luck of the Irish synopsis. When Kyle loses his golden pot of gold charm. That's right. He discovers that he's actually part leprechaun and must find the thief before he takes control of all the other leprechauns. It is starring Ryan Merriman and Henry Gibson. We ranked it on a scale of 1 out of 10. Potato chip security guards. So what. What did you think you gave this movie?

[Sabrina]

This one is. Is so well known. And I remember having some really good comedy moments, some weird moments. So there were a lot of weird things. But I just remember her being little in the. In that car was so funny.

[Will]

But I also remember him. Him, like them finally telling him he was Irish. Like it was the worst thing in the world. Like where we're Irish.

[Sabrina]

I bet you I was in the 7 range. I probably was like a 7.5.

[Will]

I think I did. I'm going to say I said between six. I'm gonna say seven. Potato chip security guards.

[Sabrina]

Potato chip security guards.

[Producer Tara]

And this is why we're doing this game.

[Sabrina]

Oh, no.

[Producer Tara]

Will, you gave it a five. You said it wasn't your favorite. You could have given it a six. But the song at the end pulled it down.

[Sabrina]

Oh, my God, I forgot the song at the end.

[Will]

That's right. With the weird dancing. Okay. Yeah, it was a 6.

[Producer Tara]

Said 5.5 quote. It ended terribly.

[Will]

Wow. Okay, so this is why we're doing this again. We're remembering them to be better than they were. Fives. Gotcha. All right, Number three.

[Sabrina]

Oh, this is an easy synopsis.

[Will]

Andy Brink, Brinker. God, was that really his name? A passionate inline skater. I'm going to mark it even lower than I had before. Andy Brink Brinker, a passionate inline skater faces a dilemma when his family's finances crumble and they must secretly join a rival sponsored team for money. This recap is still filled with controversy. What did we rate it on a scale of. It was a 1 to 10. Unfastened helmets. So I'll go first this time.

[Sabrina]

I know I gave this a good one.

[Will]

I did not. I. I still stand by what I said. I'm going to say it was like a 55. I think I did like a 5. 5. 5 or 6 at the most. How about you?

[Sabrina]

So incorrect. Will.

[Producer Tara]

It's just. It is not.

[Will]

I stand by it.

[Sabrina]

I bet you I gave this like an 8.5.

[Producer Tara]

You guys are Pretty spot on, Will. You gave it a five. You said you didn't like it, but Gabriella made it awesome. Sabrina gave it an 8 and said I loved it. And when I rewatched it, I saw all the reasons why I loved it.

[Will]

There you go.

[Sabrina]

That's a good one.

[Producer Tara]

Good job, Sav.

[Will]

Nice.

[Dramos]

Hey, it's Dramos from the Life as a Gringo podcast and on this important episode, I'm unpacking how machismo culture and the need for validation can lead to a toxic relationship with sex and why real masculinity means protecting your partners and prioritizing your sexual health. We talk about the word validation, but really a lot of it is also like my lack of self worth during that time.

[Will]

Right.

[Dramos]

You know, I needed somebody else to tell me I was worthy, essentially. Right. And whether it was my guy friends, whether it was a woman, you know, and you want attention and again, you're trying to get attention from the quote unquote, right people. And the unfortunate part about this, like, succumbing to sort of that peer pressure of society in general is you end up hurting a lot of people along the way. And then you also put yourself in a position to negatively affect your own health, both emotionally and physically. You can listen to this special episode of Life is a Gringo brought to you by Healthy Sexual from Gilea sciences on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcasts.

[Will]

Number four, lemonade Mouth. The synopsis. When five ragtag freshmen first meet in detention and just start banging on, it seems that they have nothing in common. But through music, they form an unbreakable bond and discover they have the makings of the greatest high school garage band in history. Starring Bridget Mendler, Haley Kyoko and Adam Hicks. Do you remember what we scored this on? A 1 to 10. And it was 1 to 10 lemonade shots. Your turn.

[Sabrina]

What did you give that was lemonade shots? Was there like mock up of the soda?

[Will]

I think so, yeah.

[Host/Announcer]

Okay.

[Sabrina]

Oh, this was a middleman for me.

[Will]

It was for me too, remember? Because they started like banging and then they just started. There was no practice. There was a lot I didn't like that. Well, I just said this is. They had done a better version of this already. Which was the high school rock band or whatever that that one was called that I like so much.

[Sabrina]

Yeah, I want to say I probably gave this like a 6.5.

[Will]

I think I went lower than that. I'm going to say I gave it six lemonade shots.

[Producer Tara]

Oh, well, you both are wrong. Will, you gave it a 7.5. You said I liked it. I really like the music. The cast was phenomenal. Would have been an 8.5 to 9 had they just shown them rehearsals.

[Will]

Okay.

[Sabrina]

I know that I do like it.

[Producer Tara]

Sabrina, you gave it an 8.5 and you said the music drove this movie and the acting was great. I loved it. Okay.

[Sabrina]

Wow, good. I'm glad that I remember.

[Will]

Giving it a worse score than that. Okay, good.

[Sabrina]

I know. That's crazy.

[Will]

Ooh. And now we come to a big one, folks. Number five, Johnny Tsunami. Synopsis. Johnny Capahalla, a teen surfing sensation, is forced to move from Hawaii to a tiny ski resort town in Vermont. And when he gets caught in the middle of a long standing battle between local prep school skiers and ragtag snowboarders, his grandfather helps him become the best on the mountain. And Brandon Baker's lead character. But never forget, he is not Johnny Tsunami. That's right, he wasn't. It was like his grandfather is Johnny's. Right. Okay, we had a scale of 1 to 10 hijacked military planes for this one.

[Sabrina]

Why don't I even remember what that.

[Will]

Don't you remember? They had, they literally, like, hijacked a plane from Hawaii to get back to Hawaii.

[Sabrina]

Oh, my gosh.

[Will]

Yeah. Somehow broke onto a military complex. I, I recall scoring this high. I liked Johnny Tsunami.

[Sabrina]

I still love it.

[Will]

I'm gonna say I gave this an 8.5. Hijacked military planes. If not a 9.

[Sabrina]

I bet you I gave this a 9.

[Producer Tara]

All right, so Sabrina gave this a 9 and she said, I love the movie back in the day and I love watching it again. Will, you gave it an 8 and you just said, I really like this movie.

[Will]

Okay, there you go. I was. We were close. Not too bad. Number six, this movie. I remember this movie. I remember liking this movie. Minutemen.

[Sabrina]

Yes.

[Will]

Senior Virgil and his buddies invent the ultimate time machine, traveling back in time just far enough to alter conversations, events, and interactions that led them to being unpopular at school. It stars, of course, Sir Jason Dawley, with the eventual succession star, Nicholas Brawn. Do you remember this one, Sabrina?

[Sabrina]

I remember the white, like, suit snowsuits.

[Will]

And jumping in the thing. We rated on a scale of 1 to 10, principles from community.

[Sabrina]

That doesn't help me at all. I try to think of, I got a number. Jason, you got it. You go first.

[Will]

Then I, I'm gonna say I gave this A8.

[Sabrina]

Okay.

[Will]

Because I remember liking this movie. I, I, I do. I remember this cast was great. We loved him. There was a couple problems with it, but I think I'm gonna say 7.5 to 8 principles from community. I gave this. I liked Minutemen, if memory serves.

[Sabrina]

I think I remember liking it as well, but I honestly can't remember. All I remember is those, like, space looking suits. That's it. The white version of the ET Go home suits with why'd you give it? I remember liking it. I'll go with 7.5.

[Dramos]

Safe.

[Producer Tara]

All right, well, you both gave it a six. Oh, well, you said, I had some issues with this movie. Love the cast, but hated some of the characters. Sabrina said it wasn't horrible. Love the actors. Had some plot holes.

[Will]

Okay. God, we gotta remember some of these.

[Sabrina]

Movies, but we knew it.

[Commercial Voice/Announcer]

This.

[Sabrina]

Isn't that. That between six.

[Will]

I know. It's the middle ones. It's the middle ones. Hard number seven. So we're gonna get into a little. A little farm decom called Cowbells. Synopsis. Super spoiled rich girls Taylor and Courtney Callum are forced to take summer jobs at the family's dairy farm and struggle to balance the pressures of popularity, cute boys, and the pain of responsibility. Starring the Great Allie and AJ Machaka. We scored this one on a scale of 1 to 10. Expired yogurts. Do you remember why we picked expired yogurts? Do you remember the story? She was like. She was marking them wrong, wasn't she? So it was like.

[Commercial Voice/Announcer]

Oh, yes.

[Host/Announcer]

Yeah.

[Will]

What was your guess for the score? Now here's. I have to give. Give our beautiful listeners a little inside information on why we're even doing this, because producer Tara. Lovely. Thank you so much for helping us. Told us that when Allie and AJ came on, they asked us what we scored. Cowbells. And we were like, oh, we liked cowbells. We scored it high. And then later, Tara was like, no, you didn't. And, no, you didn't. So I think that's one of the reasons we're doing this. I think we scored it lower than we told them we did. Sorry, Ali and aj. You guys are the best in the world, but I guess we scored it a little lower than we told you we did. So I'm gonna say we're in the 5 or 6 range.

[Sabrina]

I remember there being a lot of like. Like plot hole type things. Like, it was more so there were gaps and there's things that didn't make sense.

[Will]

It was just the story.

[Sabrina]

And, yeah, I was very much like Stu Krieger. Field ball moment I loved in the Factory. That stands out to me.

[Will]

No, they're great. And this is a Stu Krieger script, but it. This was one that I don't think we liked very much. I'm gonna say it's between five and six expired yogurts.

[Sabrina]

Yeah. I want to say I probably. This was probably a six for me.

[Producer Tara]

Okay. So, Will, you gave it 4.5. You said too much wrong with the story. Too weird for me, but great actors. Okay, Sabrina, you gave It a six. You said I needed a little bit more. But those girls were so beyond talented.

[Will]

Okay, there we go. So we love them.

[Producer Tara]

Yeah.

[Will]

4.5. That might have been harsh. I gotta watch it again.

[Sabrina]

Yeah.

Hey, it's Dramos from the Life as a Gringo podcast. And on this special episode I'm talking about how growing up in a Latino household shaped the way we learned, or didn't learn about sex, vulnerability and protecting our health. Our parents were oftentimes incredibly tough on us in, you know, the Latin community and not any shade to them. It's obviously they wanted nothing but the best for us and to protect us and keep us safe. But as a result, I think there wasn't much opportunity for real dialogue around important things or deep things or feelings or vulnerability. And I would include sex under that sort of umbrella. It was sort of more of you're getting talked to rather than somebody having a conversation with you. And that doesn't create an environment where you feel like you can be open and honest and vulnerable and ask questions. You can listen to this special episode of Life as a Gringo brought to you by Healthy Sexual from Gilead sciences on the iHeartRadio app or wherever you get your podcast.

[Will]

All right, and now we are now going to slam dunk on double teams Synopsis Twin freshman basketball star don't get me started. Twin freshman basketball stars Heather, who's a die hard athlete, and Heidi, whose real love is fashion, transferred to a posh LA high school where they're 35 years old, surrounded by 8 year olds and now must contend with teammates who consider them outsiders, their own budding rivalry and their father's dreams of obtaining college scholarships. We've got Poppy Monroe as Heather burge and Annie McLuhan as Heidi Burge. Plus Mackenzie Phillips played their mom. And we spoke to the actual women this movie was based on. We rated the system 1 out of 10 triple Ds. I don't even want to know why the hell we did it. Why did we do triple Ds? I don't know. I'm sure it made sense when we did it. What did we decide? Now this is one I catch a lot of for and I stand by it. All of our producers were like, you are crazy. Double teamed is better than the Godfather 2. It is the greatest film that's ever been made in the history of the world and it's just not. I think I was somewhere around the 4 to 5 range and I, I stand by that score.

[Sabrina]

Yeah, mainly because the biggest thing that we had an issue with is they were playing them as identical twins when they were two, two completely different, in.

[Will]

Their 40s, not even related. Playing, playing high school kids.

[Sabrina]

It was like it was so many things.

[Will]

There was a lot of problems with this film.

[Sabrina]

Oh, gosh, I. I know I wasn't as low as you. No, I think probably again was like a six.

[Will]

Okay.

[Producer Tara]

All right. So will you get a 5.5?

[Will]

Oh, okay.

[Producer Tara]

Better than I thought was. Quote, this was not a great movie.

[Will]

Okay.

[Producer Tara]

Sabrina was a six and she said, not a great movie. This didn't do it for me, though. I remember loving it at the time. Now I want Disney to make it again.

[Will]

There we go. I can see that. It should be with the Jonas Brothers playing identical twins. I think it's great. All right. And now we come to. We have two left. Arguably the greatest film we've ever reviewed in any way, shape, or form. Number nine, fuzzbucket. Synopsis. Invisible to everyone but 12 year old Mikey Fuzzbucket is a wise and caring creature who helps the boy through his first day of junior high and a handful of family squabbles. We spoke to Robin Lively about being in this movie, even if she didn't really want to, and we scored it on a scale of 1 to 10. Tickle fits.

[Sabrina]

Tickle.

[Will]

What were our scores? I can't remember if I scored this high as a joke. I mean, obviously it's. We started with the one that had Mike Eisner's opening, which we heard took like 75 takes to do.

[Sabrina]

Yes.

[Will]

And the movie is. It's just an acid trip. I mean, it's like you're on ayahuasca. I mean, it's just the craziest, weirdest.

[Sabrina]

And then we come to find out. A lot of that makes sense because. And then also, there was no closing to the movie.

[Producer Tara]

Really.

[Will]

No. It was supposed to be a pilot.

[Sabrina]

It was supposed to be a pilot. So 45 minutes. It was so like, we thought. Remember, we both were searching because we thought there was a part two we couldn't find.

[Will]

Yeah, it's gotta be. I. It's got to be three to four Tickle fits, right?

[Sabrina]

Yeah. Yeah, I would think it. Mine would be five. Okay, 4.5.

[Producer Tara]

Four.

[Will]

I'm gonna. I'll go with four tickle fits. What do we got, Tara?

[Producer Tara]

Oh, man. All right. So Will, you gave it a 3.5.

[Will]

Okay.

[Producer Tara]

There is no story. It's bad. And Sabrina, you gave it a 2.5.

[Sabrina]

Oh, my gosh.

[Producer Tara]

There were no answers to anything.

[Will]

Yes, a 2.5.

[Sabrina]

By the way, getting a chance to hang out with Robin Lively during the Disneyland, going around the park with her and her kids and. Oh my gosh, did you.

[Will]

Did you turn to her and say, we gave you 2.5 tickle fits.

[Sabrina]

No, I didn't know. During the ride, I didn't bring up Fuzzbucket again. Just the one time that you did. And I thought that was enough for her. She didn't seem to be doing.

[Will]

No, she's not. And finally, our Last film, number 10/10 synopsis is young Jamie Grover is fed up with being the center of her parents universe. So when she wishes for less attention and her mom gives birth to quintuplets and things drastically changed. We hated this one. On a scale of one to ten Don Knotts cameos. I'm assuming it's because Don Knotts was in it. I don't remember. What did we actually rank? Quint. If memory serves, we didn't love this movie. No, we hate it.

[Sabrina]

She was great, though. I remember the whole time we're thinking like, because she did a lot. Remember this was the one where she broke the fourth wall quite a bit.

[Will]

Yeah.

[Sabrina]

And we were like, she did it really well. It wasn't weird. It was good.

[Will]

But the parents are really. Then there was a whole thing at the end where they just like jumped into a car or something. It was really strange.

[Sabrina]

Strange. Strange writing. I guess. Maybe. Or just strange.

[Will]

Yeah. I'm gonna say I gave it five Don Knotts cameos and I can't even remember if Don Knotts was in it.

[Sabrina]

I think I did six Don Knotts cameos.

[Producer Tara]

You both gave it 5.5. Okay. Will said Kimberly saved this movie because she was so good. These parents were such bad parents. Sabrina said Kimberly was great. It was so confusing. I didn't like the freeze frames.

[Will]

Yes, that's right. The freeze frames.

[Sabrina]

Yes.

[Will]

Okay. Well, that was fun. By the way, I don't want to ask anybody out there to rate Magical Rewind on a scale of 1 to 10. I don't want to know. I don't want to know. But this was a ton of fun. I think we did better than I thought we would, frankly. There's only one or two we were horribly off on.

[Sabrina]

Yeah.

[Will]

And since we're approaching 100 movies, that's not too bad.

[Sabrina]

No, that's a lot.

[Will]

So I think that's good. That's a lot of movies. And I think we should do it again to keep us in check. So thank you everybody for joining us on this little sojourn of trying to figure out what our memories are like and what's going on and all that kind of stuff. It was fun. And we're going to do it again and remember you can follow us on social media Magical Rewind Pod and use the holiday break to catch up on all our interviews. Over the past two years and almost 100 DCOM recaps, we have spoken to some, like truly some Disney legends. You don't believe us? Why would we lie? Well, we would, but not about this. Just search for Magical Rewind on any audio streaming service and check it out. So we're gonna see you next time, next year, starting again? We're gonna have some great ones. And yeah, we're starting right with the Cheetah Girls. Going in with a bang, people. Well, hopefully, or it's gonna suck. I guess we're gonna find out. Thanks everybody and we'll see you next time.

[Sabrina]
