JordanHOST
didn't have a line.
JordanHOST
My friend, you were in there for what felt like a minute before you sent us that picture with Rafiki.
JordanHOST
My friend Donnie was back there, but it wasn't going to happen.
JordanHOST
Yeah.
MichelleHOST
His line was long.
MichelleHOST
His line was long.
MichelleHOST
Rafiki's line, not long.
MichelleHOST
And Rafiki is my husband's favorite character.
Josh FarrHOST
Typically, what comes along is a mentor.
Josh FarrHOST
So there's Rafiki in The Lion King, there's Yoda or the Jedi Master in the Star Wars.
Josh FarrHOST
There's someone that comes along who has wisdom, who has insights, who can help you out.
Josh FarrHOST
And then throughout that journey, there's ultimately this sort of almost a death and rebirth, a rediscovery or a transformation of character.
Joe DaFanHOST
That's true.
Joe DaFanHOST
I thought his name was Rafiki from The Lion King.
Shane O'MacHOST
Yeah.
Joe DaFanHOST
Yeah.
Curtis AndruskoGUEST
This is how I'm gonna, I'm gonna encourage you with one of the best scenes from the greatest Disney movie of all time, Lion King.
Curtis AndruskoGUEST
Can I get an amen, okay? You remember that scene where Simba first meets Rafiki, like the crazy baboon? And Rafiki's just being nuts, right? And so finally Simba says, who are you? And Rafiki gets all serious and he goes, the question is, who are you? And what it does is it sets the stage for this entire scene about Simba's identity.
Curtis AndruskoGUEST
And so when Rafiki says, who are you? Man, Simba kind of gets downcast and he says, well, I thought I knew, but I'm not so sure anymore.
Curtis AndruskoGUEST
Because remember, if you haven't seen the movie, first, shame on you.
Curtis AndruskoGUEST
Second, Simba was supposed to be the heir to the throne at Pride Rock, right? He's supposed to be king.
Curtis AndruskoGUEST
He's full of shame and guilt and regret.
Curtis AndruskoGUEST
And so he's like, man, I don't know who I am anymore.
Curtis AndruskoGUEST
And Rafiki says, I know who you are.
ErikaHOST
just list them off.
JeffHOST
Well, you have your typical Louisa Madrigal, your Rafiki.
JeffHOST
You're saying
ErikaHOST
typical, like, why do you say typical? Louisa
JeffHOST
Okay.
JeffHOST
Hits.
JeffHOST
Then Rafiki is the same thing except he's a 0-4.
JeffHOST
But then if he challenges, he gets plus three.
DocHOST
That is Bradford Bartels.
DocHOST
He goes by Rafiki, named after the Lion King character, who is technically a mandrill, but is commonly called a baboon, a distinction Rafiki will make for any biologists in the audience who want to give him a hard time.
DocHOST
Rafiki is 32 years old.
DocHOST
a Marine Corps veteran, a former backpacking guide, and the first person to ever thru-hike the Alaska Long Trail, a roughly 500-mile route from Seward to Fairbanks that is still under development, was not on Far Out when he walked it, and whose wildlife is, by unanimous community consensus, not the bears.
DocHOST
It's the rivers.
Bradford BartelsGUEST
You'll be fine.
DocHOST
For the record, my friend and former guest, Chris Carter, once fumbled with the safety under stress and deployed bear spray inside his own tent.
DocHOST
Rafiki's response was immediate.
Joe LawrenceHOST
Okay.
Joe LawrenceHOST
And Rafiki, literal meaning friend.
Joe LawrenceHOST
Humba, literal meaning foolish.
Joe LawrenceHOST
And Hakuna Matata is no word.
SpencerHOST
Is he a, uh, what, what, is, is he a baboon? Is he a...
SpencerHOST
What's the other animal, the, the ape? Uh, his name is Rafiki, I think.
SpencerHOST
So I believe that somebody should create a graffiti Rafiki.
SpencerHOST
That would be very cool.
SpencerHOST
Okay, so graffiti, noun from 1945.
36 MINS LATER
SpencerHOST
Ooh, do some graffiti of a s'mores.
SpencerHOST
Do some graffiti of a grail.
SpencerHOST
Um, and um, what was the other thing that we said? Graffiti of Rafiki.
BrittanyHOST
This gives Sora some pause, as they can't really go around knocking kings off their thrones, but it wouldn't hurt to show them his kingly capabilities.
BrittanyHOST
At Pride Rock, the Pride Land's throne, they meet Rafiki, the kingdom's wise aide.
BrittanyHOST
Rafiki determines that Sora can't be the one to save Pride Rock.
BrittanyHOST
Their next king requires the right qualities, meaning Sora is not cut out for the job.
BrittanyHOST
Scar catches them before they can escape with the hyenas by his side, and none other than Pete.
BrittanyHOST
Pushing the hair off his fur, the seeds from the ground and leaves all around puff and sway in the wind.
BrittanyHOST
Nala and the heroes make it to the valley and Sora is terrified to dash across the far gaps.
BrittanyHOST
Maybe Rafiki is right after all.
Erik GeeHOST
It's in the past.
Erik GeeHOST
It's like Rafiki did to Simba.
Erik GeeHOST
Hits him in the head.
Erik GeeHOST
Why'd you do that? Doesn't matter.
