That Tracks Podcast | Episode 007 - Celebrating Black History Month at Walt Disney World

[@victoriadias9900]

just wanted to say that, in my experience, parents apologizing makes all the difference, so props to nick for doing that. it took my parents a long time to start apologizing to me and my little brother and, honestly, it makes all the difference when they do nowadays. thanks for sharing that experience nick!

[@thekillerqueen668]

Nick worries way too much about whether we’ll care or be interested by the content. Stop worrying! Those of us that have watched Tim for a while love the tangents and fun facts paths he takes us down. Let it happen when it’s organic! It’s magic

[@traceymossman7668]

Nick- listening to you being open, honest & vulnerable- THANK YOU

[@SoniaDekker]

I love your “Hi Dad soup” moment, Nick! It’s the stories where you overcome obstacles that are the most heartwarming. And you are right, you are only human.

[@belindaporter5921]

Nick, thank you so much for being transparent, and as someone who had a parent that could not or would not admit any wrong, this was a very cathartic thing for me to see! Thank you!

[@Mrswoo42]

I love when you guys just talk and don’t worry about an itinerary!

[@kellyhubbard3745]

Disney posted a TikTok this morning announcing Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is coming this summer! Nick called it 😂

[@brittanyreed3811]

Lol at Tim judging Nick for getting a beanie baby every time he went to the store when he was a kid, but him and Jenn buy Jackson a hot wheels every time they go to the store. 😂

[@EmilyCamille12]

Love the podcast! Just fyi TriBeCa is just a neighborhood in Manhattan. The 5 boroughs are Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island.

[@SuzanneA618]

The 9/11 museum is a must for anyone that experienced that day’s events. ❤ You guys don’t have to preface the conversation by saying it’s “heavy”. Just talk about whatever the conversation goes to. It’s a very natural flow when friends talk. I like it, it’s very relatable to talk about singular events that most of us were alive for 💜 Just do your thing🎉😊

[@Lore.Ash476]

I loved every conversation on this episode! Thank you! I wish you all a wonderful week.

[@michaelgriffen7346]

Good morning gentlemen! What a fabulous idea THAT TRACKS is. You work wonderfully with and off of one another and are entirely enjoyable to watch. I'd watch you talking about paint drying. Haven't missed an episode. Keep 'em coming! Tim, been watching you and Jen for many years. Nick, saw you in a cameo here and there with Tim but this arrangement just shines the light on you so much more and it's so worth it. THANK YOU BOTH!!!

[@christistewart5770]

I was just at WDW at the end of January and the number 1 thing my husband and I keep bringing up about the trip is the crowds. A new park would really help spread people out more.

[@gnux]

You are human, Nick! It's definitely true - repairing your relationship after you responded negatively towards your child, that is what matters. Idk if it's specific to your life, but I know for my life with my 4 year old, it's breaking generational trauma. Good for you and your sons 💚

[@sincerelyshelbyco]

Best episode yet, I was laughing so hard at the Superbowl conversation. Keep trackin fellas

[@sherrystrawn7628]

My first memory of an event.. was when Reagan got shot. I was nine. I had seen him at Sea World during his campaign tour.. so it really freaked me out a bit. I did watch the Challenger tragedy from my backyard in Palm Bay....just south of Cape Canaveral. I was 14..I was a nerdy little space geek. I was greatly impacted. My best friend had met all of the astronauts.. because her father worked for NASA. She was inconsolable. I was 30 on 9/11. Mom to a 9 year old and a 6 year old at the time. I absolutely knew in that moment that our world had just changed forever. 💔

[@Mrswoo42]

I keep leaving comments because I relate so hard to everything you’re talking about 😂 I’m a mom of two boys, one is Jackson’s age and one is 2.5 years old. Regulating my emotions throughout these stressful years of toddlerhood is the biggest challenge of my life, truly. It’s been the biggest learning experience. Apologizing to my boys is huge, taking accountability for my actions is everything. My parents did not do that for me. Thank you for being so vulnerable, Nick!

[@sweetie1986]

In relation to Nick, snapping at his son; I have a five-year-old child and there are moments where things have built up during the day, and I have snapped. I’m not proud of it. The key thing is recognizing that you snapped and apologizing. My five year-old has the mentality of an average eight-year-old very bright ahead of her age, recognizes that it wasn’t directed at her. The key to being a good parent is owning up to your faults, apologizing for them when necessary.❤

[@ktgrandma2213]

That was amazing nick. I’m a parent and a grandparent it happens to all of us. How you handled it was amazing

[@jessf_2001]

I love all the tangents.

[@afamilystravel6955]

Love all the subjects covered. So fun to listen. Thanks Nick for talking about deep and real issues. And Tim’s humor is fantastic. You guys are a great combo.

[@seh1286]

Tim, I’m loving the opening tag lines. It’s one of my favorite parts. Love y’all both and so thankful you started this podcast!

[@Summergirl_79]

TIM saying “So your telling me there’s a chance” 😂💀 Great pod guys as always! You guys mesh so well. ❤

[@padawan..]

Nick, you taught your son take ownership of how your emotions can effect others and when to apologise. That is a wonderful thing to teach him ❤

[@havalittlcourage]

Nick, I love your Hi Dad Soup moment. What an awesome bonding moment and lesson for your son. That adults make mistakes, that apologies are important - that they repair relationships, the mutual love and respect and forgiveness. While imperfect, that was perhaps a more beautiful and meaningful moment than a perfect one. Awesome.

[@jskrande]

12:42 Just some extra clarification for anyone interested. Based on Nick's description, I believe he is referencing "They Shall not Grow Old" a World War I doc by Peter Jackson . Absolute must watch! The footage remastering is jaw-dropping.

[@katiestavig9514]

I’ll be 33 in March! Love Nicks cultural references…I relate to them all! Also have a 3mo old boy so I appreciate hearing his perspective on parenting from the dad’s side. Great podcast Tim and Nick!

[@amandasmothers7438]

When I’m having a bad day your podcast always makes me laugh! Also was pretty impressed with my football knowledge to the questions nick was asking Tim!

[@crystalmckenney5406]

You guys are great! Lots of laughs!

[@michelleshryock]

I love the transparency. We, as parents, have those stressful moments all the time. The good times outweigh the bad, for sure, but those stressful times are gonna be there, and it's important to take accountability and ownership of your feelings and actions. ❤

[@aprilpfaender3437]

Just want to say what great calming voices you two have! Also I have enjoyed every one of these podcasts, you two do a great job!!

[@Pastelrosettes]

Great episode ❤ I mainly listen on Spotify while I work and been loving it so far 💕 I had a couple of beanie babies, I think the one I played with most often was a pink cat named Carnation after the flower of the same name, I remember having either the pink, lavender and mint bunnies maybe I had all three, we had a husky one, and a kangaroo and I’m sure there’s others but I can’t remember but I definitely remember those ones for sure in my childhood 😅

[@jessicaburrola110]

Just binged all 7 episodes of this podcast! Good job you kept my interest ❤👍

[@tankgamesforever]

The beginning of this episode hit me deep a little. I lived in Brooklyn when 9/11 happened, probably 15 minutes away from the World Trade Center. I was too young to understand what was going on, but I remember everyone panicking and getting us out of school when it happened. Absolute craziness that day and just so intense, especially not being 27 and knowing everything.

[@michelleoneal8157]

Nick! You handled the rough moment like a CHAMP! Way to go, dad!

[@MicheleKlinger]

I love this podcast so much. Its become a Monday highlight for me. Regarding Beanie Babies....as a 90s kid, I WAS OBSESSED! My mom still has a stash of them sitting in my old room in this giant basket and every time I visit, the sight of it just makes me laugh so much. My favorite was this pink poodle named Bridgitte. She was my girl

[@michaelcarrillo8769]

Watching a Disney pod at 8am I wasn’t ready for the 911 and Holocaust convo but here it is lol. Love you guys.

[@magicalenchantedvaycays]

I about died laughing when Nick pronounced it, "Queen Ameedala" 😆. Totally caught me off guard too lol.

[@michelleschulte5134]

Thank you Nick for being real and vulnerable about the challenges of parenting. Very relatable! Tim- Our son who is a couple of weeks younger than Jackson has tube surgery coming up too!

[@amandaball5289]

You two are hilarious! Very entertaining podcast

[@kristykimberly3614]

Love the podcast!!

[@nicolemc2263]

I had SO many beanie babies! I loved the purple platypus 😂💜

[@JohnAJohnson]

I always wanted that one.... ;)

[@marcynelson1785]

I was in the library at school watching the Challenger launch. 4th grade. I remember such sadness.

[@bentertained5502]

I LOVE dreamlight valley!!! highly recommend playing it. it's also easy for kids to get into so you can play with them as well!

[@Dahliah]

I think it's important to let kids see you struggle in those moments. In that moment your kid sees you having the same problem he is, he sees you stop, take a breath and get yourself together for the both of you. You modeled how to handle a stressful situation even if you didn't start off that way. That's SUCH and important lesson, far more important than getting it right the first time. Kids put you up like a superhero make you feel like you HAVE to live up to their image of you. But, you don't learn anything when you get it right all the time and they don't either.

[@matt_was_here]

Appreciate your honesty, Nick! Right there with you.

[@kaiaschwartz2299]

my first historical event that I remember is Sandy Hook. I live in CT and was in 5th grade. I remember the teachers all meeting in the hallway and trying to figure out if they should tell us what happened just an hour away. Parents were calling all of their kids out of school and all of us were very scared not knowing what was happening. I will never forget it.

[@TheresaBethK]

Nick and I have the same birthday and I’m going to Disneyland around my bday as well!! 🎉🎉

[@paigeruskaup9742]

Thank you for your transparency with parenting 🙏 I only have two cats, but they are my fur babies and sometimes I feel ridiculous for snapping at them. And it also helps me understand why my parents have snapped at me in the past when I was little ❤️ I appreciate you all and your beautiful family's! Stay safe and great job!

[@erinchavez1545]

Literally snapped at my 7yr old while listening to you talk about snapping! But actually was a nice reminder to apologize & reset. We both benefited from you opening up Nick ❤

[@lisaekern5231]

Hey guys - great show! Love the chatty dynamic… we call them chickens in our house when we go off track. Thanks for sharing your story Nick! We are humans We Will makes mistakes ! You hit the point straight on when you “ checked yourself “ and apologized ! We appreciate the show. Thank you 🎉

[@CraigOConnor5]

Appreciate you opening up on that guilt, Nick! Great pod guys!! Keep em' coming! 🤘🏼

[@jeanharrison722]

Great podcast

[@SamNoelle104]

My favorite beanie baby was the Millennium bear!!! It had iridescent stars all over it! I love watching this podcast!!!

[@cucug8324]

Nic- talking about not knowing if there’s enough space in WDW for a new theme park. Me- cries in Disneyland 😭

[@Luxelife1320]

For feedback purposes- I love the longer podcasts (90 min-ish,? I put this on while I do my yoga and the timing works out perfectly. Keep up the great work! ❤

[@reidseamans968]

I was listening to ur “hi dad soup” moment Nick, and I understand what u are saying about not being on time to anything. I always say “it’s a Cuban thing.”

[@messygirlinaplannerworld8276]

I had a Princess Diana beanie in middle school and she was even in a plastic clear display box to keep her safe. My 12 year old self truly thought I’d be buying a house from those beanie profits and then my 14 year old self was too cool and donated them all 😂

[@ItmeMOOSE]

So Tim just letting the dogs out on the pod, Get some shoes my guy 😂

[@KellyBurklund]

“Aren’t her eras just her albums?” 🤣 Exactly, Tim.

[@Carlosdgomez_]

For 9/11 I was in elementary school, we were in recess and I remember we were in our classroom into the late evening waiting for our parents to pick us up while watching the news.

[@SuzanneCarlin-jc9xb]

You both are great parents as far as I can tell.

[@aleshiacatherine]

I was obsessed with all the beanie babies! I have about 10,000 out in the garage 🤣

[@aleshiacatherine]

Also, nick and I must be almost the same age - everything he says resinates with me.

[@lauraanderson468]

Nick and Tim you guys are great dads. Not many people are able to pull back as well as you did. Remember you are human and kids learn from your good and normal moments. I am aging myself but my first historical memory is Watergate

[@yourideordie]

I wish you guys could’ve heard the commercial that came on right after Nick said we were running late the commercial so dramatically DUN DUN DUN… 😂 such a relatable moment! Seriously so so relatable so don’t beat yourself up, kids can PUSHHHH those buttons 😅 but it’s apart of both of our growing process ♥️🥹 LOVE THE PODCAST GUYS!!!

[@brantlie_boone]

I hope to run into you, Nick, during your trip to DL! Currently living in LA and get to go to DL kind of frequently!

[@Tati_ab]

The 9/11 bear bit made me made me laugh because of how Tim simply moved on

[@lillianfredriksson1890]

The first historical event I remember is the MOON LANDING. I was under my mom’s kitchen table, watching our black and white television in San Francisco. That was far out. I remember the Challenger Exploding because my relatives best friend was Christa McAuliffe, the astronaut teacher. She was the substitute teacher and she watched the shuttle explode with Krista’s class. A massive tragedy.

[@amy_soucy]

Oh my goodness, that intro. Had only one beanie, during their height, it was a gift. It had something to do with the Marines. But now I have a few. Those big eye ones. 😊

[@jessicashanks6020]

I love Dreamlight Valley! I finished the first storyline and just started the new storyline. It’s nice to just unwind playing it

[@charlenesevers5565]

My daughter and I collected Beanies and we still have them. We have hundreds of them. We have Maple from Canada and bears from other countries. We use to trade beanies and beanie cards. So fun to know you collected too Nick!❤

[@amy_soucy]

Challenger was the first major historical event I remember as well. I was writing a paper about the teacher on that space mission, Christa McAuliffe, at that time and was very invested in the launch.

[@Calpurnia917]

I am absolutely here for Nick teaching Tim about Taylor Swift and the NFL- Tim is usually so informed 😂

[@amandap8936]

I am so down for a Football with Nick and Tim podcast! Nick could teach us all 🙂 Go Bucs! 🏴‍☠️

[@MilagrosHernandez-b5z]

I love to listening Nick it’s cool and it’s open my mind more funny and cool too

[@k1tkat-kate]

I also have the Princess Diana bear, Nick 😂 it's in my basement.

[@terryhalverson5399]

I love your podcast and I think you guys are awesome together! I believe that when it comes to Disney World and Disneyland they both need better merchandise like what Tokyo Disney has.

[@ChristysCorner]

i'm loving this heavy chat

[@angelam4839]

I think Challenger is the first historical event I remember too. I was 8

[@jessicashanks6020]

Nick my daughter and I were at Disneyland in 2023 during Star Wars night. While we didn’t go to the event itself we watched the fireworks from our Hojo balcony and hyperspace mountain was SO fun

[@johnneuman9470]

Firsties….ish! 4am here on west coast, kismet to be up when this posted!❤

[@amandaroper7882]

In regards to Disney World not having anymore land to build on - when I visited the DVC office in 2013, they told me that Disney actually has a lot of land and as of 2013, they had only developed on 10% of the land they own. Just wanted to slip this in the comments. Love the podcast!

[@freddymyers14]

Probably my favorite beanie babie is Spinner the spider. I have him sitting on my dashboard so he can go with me everywhere.

[@tammyknowles1032]

I love listening to you guys. It would be great if you did an episode where the older kids guest for a few minutes.

[@Dizzney23]

we had a group at work that collected beanies. we knew the UPS deliver routes and would hit the stores at lunch. I still have my beanies babies. i stopped getting them around 2005 when they changed the style. my favorite are the bears.

[@wendyshoup8539]

I was THRILLED with your Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce talk!! You guys were adorable talking about it and football! So cute! So you were wrong, Nick. People were not bored about that discussion!❤ Love you guys and hope you do have a Swiftie party and watch The Eras Tour movie together! BTW, I'm almost 69!

[@JulieLeGalle]

I have a princess Dianna one and really need to find out if it’s actually worth something

[@rileylafrance7783]

The backwards motion sickness nick feels…. He’s not alone with that. I’m the exact same way with those two specific rides.

[@Finsup2023]

When the challenger happened, I was in high school, and they came on the intercom to tell us

[@sarahe1987]

Obsessed with Dreamlight valley!! Disney did such a great job with this game!!! 😂🎉

[@lisarakowski3837]

Oh my gosh! The Beanie Baby Craze I fell for it and spent so much money on them, it was loads of fun at the time,no regrets but sad they aren’t worth the big money!! So glad Tim brought them up.

[@michellecarson8841]

I truly enjoy the podcast and my Mom collected beanie babies. She ended up giving them to her great twin granddaughters but I kept two of them. Princess Diana and 100 years of Flight bear beanie baby.

[@paulmcgarry4466]

On 9/11, I was 20 and when I woke up on the morning, the 1st plane had hit and everyone was saying it was a small plane accident. Then I watched the second plane hit in real time. It was like chaos in your brain. I knew it meant war immediately. Never felt that before. Hopefully won't ever have to again.

[@jessicaprenovost4478]

I love dreamlight valley!

[@mandymoffatt]

1900 parkfare is reopening!!! Yesssssssss Also butter pecan reminds me of my grandma 😂😂😂

[@emilywilson4752]

I am a huge Disney Dreamlight Valley fan! It’s like sims/animal crossing/all things Disney came together into a game! You get to bring different characters in your valley like Mirabel, Remi, Woody & Buzz, and most recently Jack Skellington, Rapunzel, Gaston and Eve! You have different quests to complete so the game never really ends! They do updates about every 6 weeks or so so you’re always getting new characters!

[@thedisn-ehfamily]

They pod has approved greatly in only 7 episodes keep killing it !!!! Tim got to put the toes away lol

[@baileyurick]

nick, i also had the princess diana beanie baby! i wouldn't say i was a collector but i had quite a few beanie babies. i'm also so fascinated by WWII - i went to a concentration camp in germany about 10 years ago and it was such a humbling, emotional thing to experience. also, i love IP attractions! 🤷‍♀ & the football talk 😂

[@MaryanneElizabeth]

Hey Tim and Nick, just wanted to say, in order to see what things actually sell for on eBay you have to filter the results and click sold items. People list things for a ridiculous amount of money. Some speculate it's for money laundering, others say it's for clout but I think it's to bump up their inventory net worth to qualify for larger loans... There are some serious disparities in pricing once you switch to sold items. Sometimes you even have to check the ones that sold for higher prices, you'll notice that the item is 9 times out of 10 relisted when you click on the sellers profile which means they never received payment. BTW thanks for the content, great shows so far :)

[@Jumboo364]

As a member of the African American community, THANK YOU 🙏
