Disney World is supposed to be the most magical place on earth, but Chris is fresh off his trip to confirm it also brings out the absolute worst in humanity. On this week’s episode of The Chris Court Show, things unravel fast as we break down full-blown theme park family meltdowns, tackle Shane Gillis’s brutal gym-attire monologue, and listen as Tim attempts the impossible task of teaching Chris basic speaking skills. We also dig into the alarming 760% spike in e-bike ER visits, Slipknot adding a mysterious "B-Stage" to their live setup, and Kid Rock swapping Eminem out for Lil Wayne on a track while Eminem somehow remains on it anyway. Plus, we spin incredible new independent tracks and break down how artists can skip the inbox backlog with our Ko-fi Fast Pass.

(Recorded 10/9/26) E341: "Keep the Baseball, Double the Beer" (40m)
Matt ruined Chris’s intro ten seconds in, and the whole episode went downhill from there. We debate whether you should ever give a caught home-run ball to a kid, pay tribute to Mike Ditka, and dismantle a new beer glass designed to make you drink water (pro tip: just pour beer in both ends). Plus, our email queue is packed—we break down how indie artists can use our Ko-fi Fast Pass to skip the line and get heard faster.

Buckle up, because this week’s episode is pure, unadulterated chaos.
Chris and Matt are unpacking the wild Christa Pike drama, Kid Rock suddenly finding Jesus (well, at least halfway) alongside Eminem, and a 69-car pileup that happened for the most immature reason possible—because of course it did.
Plus, want your music on the show without waiting in line? We break down how you can grab a Fast Pass on Ko-fi. Every single dime goes right back into supporting independent artists, so you get airplay and good karma all in one shot.
