Transcript
- 0:01Day after. Year, you are now listening to a
- 0:05member of the Disney Podcast Family.
- 0:07Head over to Disney Podcast Family on Instagram to see all
- 0:11the latest posts for this show. And links to other great Disney
- 0:15podcasts. Hello and welcome to another
- 0:20edition of the Disney Pod episode #2 sitting on its own
- 0:26channel so. I was so confused.
- 0:29You said 2. I gotcha, OK.
- 0:35One O 2 is closer than two. Yeah, I don't know where we're
- 0:38at. Again, I lost out, you know,
- 0:39leading up to 100 episodes, that was cool.
- 0:41But maybe it's one O 6. One O 7.
- 0:44Something like that. OK, that was my next guess.
- 0:49So here we are. We do this live because we do
- 0:51this for you. We see you all in chat.
- 0:54Welcome and thank you for being here watching our recorded.
- 0:58You're a live studio audience is what you are.
- 1:00And we're all done with this. Lawrence puts us on a nice bow
- 1:03and he sends it over to iHeartRadio, Apple, Spotify and
- 1:07Amazon where we value all of those listeners just as much.
- 1:12Theo Sam Eagle is in the chat. He says this podcast is so hot,
- 1:16you need an iced beverage. So hopefully everyone has an
- 1:19iced beverage if you don't run to your refrigerator right now.
- 1:24Yes. So here we are on a Mundiz on a
- 1:28different channel. Is there anything else we can do
- 1:30to sabotage? I you know, we could.
- 1:32Program. Could have put it on at, you
- 1:34know, 2 in the afternoon. That probably would have really
- 1:36helped in our our numbers. Right.
- 1:40Right. But it's OK, we had to change.
- 1:43We had to change today. And that's, that's OK.
- 1:45Luckily our our guests were able to make it today, which is which
- 1:50is really, really good. Good friends of of of hours of
- 1:56the channel of the network. I was on a podcast with them and
- 2:04it was a three hour podcast. This one will not be a three
- 2:06hour podcast. We're going to be a little
- 2:07shorter than than that, but but I had a good time.
- 2:12Three hour tour. Yeah, yeah, like a three hour
- 2:14tour. Yeah, yeah.
- 2:16It was fun. We talked a lot about potatoes.
- 2:18We'll ask them. So, So no, we had we had a good
- 2:22time. You know what, I don't think we
- 2:25talked about potato land at all the talk about potatoes.
- 2:28But just know that Disneyland, which is where my shirt is, is
- 2:32based on they, they like their potatoes this year for some
- 2:36reason. I don't know so.
- 2:38OK, well, I hear potato land might be the hot topic for, you
- 2:42know, our D 23 year in just a few weeks could be potato land
- 2:46could be most ambitious project yet for Fifth park Potato land.
- 2:51Potato Land. We'll find out.
- 2:56I will say this, so I'm coming off of, you know, four days off
- 2:59in a row. I go back to the real world
- 3:01tomorrow, full, full steam ahead.
- 3:04And you know, I didn't realize I we sandwiched a lot of park into
- 3:08this. Yeah, I.
- 3:10Didn't know that would happen, but we did annual pass holder
- 3:13night over at Universal Studios on on Friday night.
- 3:18And I have to say, I praise Universal all the time for
- 3:23giving us a night and it's still something Disney should bring
- 3:26back. They really need to bring that
- 3:27back. But this one fell short a little
- 3:30bit. There were no, can you, Can you
- 3:32imagine having an event like this?
- 3:34But no snacks, no specialty foods or snacks.
- 3:39It was, it was, it was a special T-shirt which we got and you
- 3:44know, the rides were very low wait time.
- 3:46So we had the run of the park. So, you know, I, I, I put the
- 3:50spin on and I said, you know what, not going to complain
- 3:53about it. Foods would have been nice.
- 3:55But you know what, at the same time we got to, we had the run
- 3:59of the park. So if you said, hey, would you
- 4:00take 4 hours to, you know, just to run around the park, you
- 4:04know, do whatever you want with no waiting times, I'd say of
- 4:07course I would. So that happened then of course
- 4:12Epcot was a lot of fun, did a ton of pin training and just had
- 4:16a lot of fun on Saturdays. So I want to, want to Fast
- 4:19forward to yesterday. So Jacob really wanted to do RIP
- 4:24Ride Rocket on Friday, and Universal closed it at 15
- 4:32minutes to go before the event was done.
- 4:36Now, Disney wouldn't do this. They just wouldn't do it.
- 4:40And think you have to call out Universal for that.
- 4:43You just, this is a night for your guests, your pass holders,
- 4:48who at the end when we leave, you all are standing at the end
- 4:51waving and thanking us. And we love you.
- 4:52We love you. We love you, right?
- 4:54But we'll close the ride 15 minutes before the event opens.
- 4:57I mean closes. And not for weather.
- 5:01Not for weather, Nope. So we had to go back yesterday
- 5:05and then we had a fantastic day. We rode RIP Ride Rockit 4 times
- 5:10yeah, I know that's what he wanted to do.
- 5:12So I do whatever he wanted to do and so good time.
- 5:17And they posted they meaning universal.
- 5:20They posted earlier today something that I just wanted to
- 5:26I want to. Bring this up because I saw
- 5:28that. Did you see it?
- 5:29Are you laughing because you saw it?
- 5:30I saw that, yeah. So I'll say if anybody doesn't
- 5:35know, you can hack into the song list of RIP Ride Rocket.
- 5:39It's a roller coaster that would play songs, select songs for
- 5:45you. You, you go on.
- 5:47You have like 5 genres to choose from.
- 5:49You click that and it's like however, there's a secret song
- 5:53list. So if you long press the logo,
- 5:56it come it, it, it shows a keypad instead.
- 5:58And then you can pump that keypad, you know, 33 numbers
- 6:02into the keypad. As long as you know them with
- 6:04the songs are connected to, you can do it.
- 6:08So there's two Muppet songs that I always do.
- 6:11So hey, I did Rainbow Connection.
- 6:14You know this, this crazy coaster going 65 miles an hour,
- 6:18whatever it is, listening to a nice mellow rendition of
- 6:21Kermits. You know Rainbow.
- 6:23Rainbow Connection, it's gotta love that it's.
- 6:25A real it's a real trip. So I say that because on on
- 6:30Twitter X they say Universal responded today and they said
- 6:36Rocket, it's a glorious 12 hour finale Florida weather.
- 6:41You got a minute and 1/2, which is funny because what I left out
- 6:45was we had rain delay after rain delay.
- 6:48But. We we really, we really played
- 6:51it to our advantage. I looked at the weather sky wise
- 6:54and I'm like, this is going to clear.
- 6:56They let us go up and wait in line.
- 6:58So we wanted the first to wait in line.
- 6:59We just waited it out and within 20 minutes it reopened and we
- 7:03were on. We swung back around and anyway,
- 7:08Long story short, we were able to.
- 7:10We did it again too. Other rain delay, we went over,
- 7:13we went in and waited. So we were able to cycle through
- 7:16and actually do 4 four times. So nice.
- 7:20Think it's the most, most coasters I've ever ridden in a
- 7:22single day. We did 4 rides of that and two
- 7:25rides of Velocicoaster. I'll end up this Velocicoaster.
- 7:29We, we did it. I'm watching the time and I'm
- 7:32like, oh, if we have one minute, do you think we leave our stuff
- 7:36in the locker and then swirl around to the front and see if
- 7:40we can make it in time to be let in again?
- 7:42So we rolled the dice and we did it.
- 7:44We made it through. Oh.
- 7:45Nice goofy guy. If you are looking for that on
- 7:53yeah, you need to be subbed to. The Dyspod has its own channel
- 7:56now or my channel. It will not be on living in Diz.
- 8:01So that could be why you didn't see it.
- 8:03We are on the multi view, so you could be watching it there as
- 8:05well. So Speaking of the multi view, I
- 8:10got an they're very, I want to say it was the very first e-mail
- 8:13I ever got on disneystreamernetwork@gmail.com,
- 8:16which if you have any questions about the network, you can
- 8:18always send us. They send me an e-mail there.
- 8:21I got this e-mail. How do we join?
- 8:24So I'm looking and I'm like, oh, this, this is, this is a good
- 8:27channel. Let me let me reach out to them.
- 8:30So I reach out to Jason, got Jason into the streamer network
- 8:35and been watching a lot more of their stuff.
- 8:37And we're going to talk a lot about his channel and, and his
- 8:42work. And in fact, I'm, I'm just going
- 8:45to bring them in right now and they can introduce themselves
- 8:48and their channels. Gentlemen, welcome.
- 8:55Maybe there we go. Welcome, welcome.
- 9:03Steve's got a better background. It's just I like my background.
- 9:09But anybody that's got Star Wars, just just he's got.
- 9:14The white The other lights aren't even on anymore.
- 9:17I it's on it's for some reason this light likes to change
- 9:21colors for it. Just oh, he's even got he's even
- 9:25got color changing lights. Come on.
- 9:31Goes along with his. Room I made this little tiny
- 9:34version of this. And.
- 9:37He's like, oh, I got to show you up and he makes.
- 9:41Yeah, What is that? Is that 8 feet?
- 9:45It's two. No, it's two panels that are
- 9:49three feet long. OK, alright.
- 9:52It's a there's one it's hard to do on the camera here.
- 9:56From here down is 1 and then from up is another panel and
- 10:00then I just put them together so.
- 10:02It looks like. One long panel.
- 10:04Wow, I love it. I love it and all the
- 10:07memorabilia is awesome. Yeah, awesome.
- 10:09It's my fun stuff. Yeah, I have to start collecting
- 10:13more. I don't have enough.
- 10:15Yeah. We all started like nothing.
- 10:19We're walls. If you go back and watch our
- 10:21first video, yeah. Yeah, it's funny.
- 10:24Yeah, the, I think the first episode, I think I might have
- 10:27had the stuff that's over my shoulder here.
- 10:29These, these posters of rides. I think that was it.
- 10:34I don't think there's anything else out there.
- 10:37So yeah, you start to just collect, collect stuff, right.
- 10:42So I guess Jason, why don't you, why don't you go first,
- 10:45introduce us to you and and your channel.
- 10:49All right, I'm Jason and I started Signs of Amusement what,
- 10:562 1/2 years ago, I think. And before that I had another
- 11:02channel called Interactive Realm where I did woodworking.
- 11:05I and I just wasn't so much into it.
- 11:09And I started going back to my Disney days and wanted to do a
- 11:14Disney Channel. And this guy above me here was a
- 11:17subscriber of mine on the woodworking channel.
- 11:21And we, you know, we started hanging out and we got to know
- 11:24each other, became friends. So I, I thought he's a Disney
- 11:28fan. Let's, let's bring him on board.
- 11:29And I twisted his arm like literally.
- 11:33And, and he came on and he, he's actually responsible for the
- 11:37name as well, so. Really.
- 11:40So I, I couldn't think of a name and this guy just like, how
- 11:44about this? I'm like.
- 11:47Well, it was in. So he texted a bunch of us and
- 11:51hey, I want to do this Disney signs thing and it's I want to
- 11:55do signs of all these amusement parks and, and the history
- 12:00behind the sign and everything. Well, it was right there in the
- 12:03text is signs and amusement parks.
- 12:07So I bought signs of amusement. It's like, all right, done.
- 12:13I bought signs of amusement dot coms already.
- 12:15I've already bought it. We're done.
- 12:17Nice. Very good, very good.
- 12:22And so, so you started out woodworking and what kind of
- 12:25stuff were you were you making then?
- 12:29You know, I mean like I like everybody else.
- 12:31I think that gets into woodworking.
- 12:33You started doing like cutting boards and little coasters and I
- 12:38never really got into doing bigger things like furniture.
- 12:41But for whatever reason, I started doing National Park
- 12:45signs and eventually led to the Disney signs that I was doing
- 12:50because I got a laser. So that was like the thing that
- 12:53I think that really changed things for me.
- 12:56And I used to live in Huntington Beach, so I used to go to
- 12:59Disneyland all the time. It's like when I first had my
- 13:02annual pass and just my love for Disney started coming out and
- 13:08just out of the share everybody so.
- 13:10That's where. The channel came from.
- 13:13Wow. So we'll get back to him in just
- 13:16a minute. Tell us about exposition, Steve.
- 13:21All right, yeah. It was just something fun I
- 13:25wanted to do. I saw all my friends doing it
- 13:29and and I'm like, oh, maybe I'll try something.
- 13:32And then my relatives that are in the Netherlands, they're
- 13:35like, hey, we want to see what Disneyland's like.
- 13:37We've never been. Can you show us?
- 13:40I'm like, all right, so I said, you know, I'll just make a
- 13:42channel and put up some PO VS and stuff and, and it just grew
- 13:47from there. And one day I, I watched Alex
- 13:52the historian and I was watching his channel and I, I really
- 13:55enjoyed his, the history of Disney and everything.
- 13:59And I happened to see him in the park.
- 14:01So I, you know, I said hi to him and stuff and we became, you
- 14:04know, really good friends. And that's how I knew about
- 14:08Jason was through Alex and, and it just, you know, boom from
- 14:14from knowing Alex to Jason to Chris, from LMG vids to it just
- 14:20expanded to everywhere. And it was just neat, 'cause
- 14:23it's just like one big, huge YouTube family.
- 14:27Yeah, yeah. And, and the shows that that
- 14:32that you do talking about a a big Disney family.
- 14:35I mean, the the shows on Sundays, you have quite a few
- 14:39hosts on there. How, How did how did that all
- 14:43happen? Well, I found this group on
- 14:51Facebook. It's I think it was a podcast
- 14:56asylum where people could post their podcast.
- 14:59And that's run by Barry. Barry runs Share the Magic and
- 15:04he had a Co host Jeff at the time and I was trying to get
- 15:07Barry onto our channel. He ends up sending Jeff over to
- 15:11us. Jeff became one of our hosts.
- 15:16He's no longer our host. He's still our friend.
- 15:18But he moved on to the but. But from that podcast I saw
- 15:23Disney magic Zack posting. So then I was like, oh, I'm
- 15:26going to check out his guy and I started seeing what he did and
- 15:30we invited him to be on the show and we kept inviting them back
- 15:34here, you know, time to time. And then he had a discord and on
- 15:40discord was these two girls who run middle age magic and the
- 15:45three of them all happened to be from the UK.
- 15:48So we started watching all of them, invited them onto the
- 15:51channel and again, just like kept inviting them.
- 15:54We. All just clicked really really
- 15:56well. Together.
- 15:58And and then we have Lewis, who was actually a customer of mine.
- 16:03I made him a sign for his uncle or dad, I can't remember.
- 16:07It was like 5 years ago, maybe more, I don't know sure on that
- 16:11one. But we always kept in contact.
- 16:13And when we started the channel, I knew, you know, he's a big
- 16:16Disney fan, he's well educated. He looks up everything and you
- 16:21can you can try to stump him and I he'd be hard pressed.
- 16:25So. And then Steve had another
- 16:28friend, Kenny, who was Alpha Traveler one who kind of helped
- 16:33him convince him to come to my channel.
- 16:35Yeah. I I was too.
- 16:39Again, we just keep inviting him and, you know, all of a sudden
- 16:43we're just like, OK, we're, you're just part of the channel
- 16:45now, so. Nice.
- 16:47Yeah, it. Was really cool how it we just
- 16:49all gelled together really well. Well, and and I can see that so,
- 16:53so so tell us kind of what the shows you do.
- 16:55So Sunday is a trivia show, right?
- 16:58Yeah, we we do those once a month actually.
- 17:00Once a month. OK, I.
- 17:01Wish we could do more but. Well, it's a lot of work.
- 17:05It is. It is.
- 17:06Yeah. I've I've watched some of those
- 17:08Sunday shows. I would I would fail miserably
- 17:11at some of that trivia. Is is really good so so you have
- 17:17those. We make up, yeah, we make up all
- 17:19the questions and everything. So it gets it's time consuming
- 17:24and stuff so. And and it and it's graphics on
- 17:27screen. It's not just, you know,
- 17:29there's, there's a lot of work that that you guys put into it,
- 17:31but I think that also a. Lot of work.
- 17:34Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I spent a.
- 17:36Few long. And then we.
- 17:42We started with the the what we call the ride through
- 17:45commentaries, using LNG vids, videos.
- 17:49Sometimes we use somebody else's, but we always give
- 17:51credit. But we just, you know, no one
- 17:54else was doing it and I don't still think anyone else is doing
- 17:57it. But we just wanted the not just
- 18:00watch a ride through, but we wanted to talk about the ride.
- 18:02We talk about history of the, you know, whatever the
- 18:05conversation leads is what we like to say.
- 18:07And it does go all over the place, yeah.
- 18:09We start with talking about something way totally different.
- 18:15But that's really fun. We love having guests on.
- 18:17We even like some of our subscribers are like, oh, you
- 18:21have any ideas? Come on, bring, you know, come
- 18:23on the show and be with us. And then we had the our podcast,
- 18:29which was audio for a bit, but we decided that we're very
- 18:33visual. So we just stopped doing audio,
- 18:36just bring it to the YouTube now, which we call Discovered
- 18:40Magic podcast, but it's still under the science amusement
- 18:44channel. And we had interview shows and
- 18:48then we had our discussion shows, which is like open topic,
- 18:51whatever we want to talk about. We call that Concilium, which is
- 18:56like a round table discussion. So Friday nights we do the ride
- 19:04throughs, Saturdays we do the Concilium or an interview,
- 19:08depending on what we have. And now Mondays we started our
- 19:13live builds, which is, you know, designing or building a sign or
- 19:19whatever we have that we have to do their original.
- 19:22Sometimes they work for Orange. Yeah, sometimes they're just for
- 19:28fun. Sometimes we do it.
- 19:29Just to give it away. So we'd love to give stuff away,
- 19:32yeah. Yeah, yeah, it is a lot of fun.
- 19:37So I I was just I'm distracted because of the Jiminy Cricket.
- 19:41It actually it the lighting picks it up so well that it
- 19:44looks like it's an overlay, right?
- 19:47It looks like it's like a yeah, It that's really, really cool.
- 19:50One of. The shoulder Shoulder buddies.
- 19:54Oh, OK, OK, that makes sense. Yeah.
- 19:58I might have to steal that idea I like.
- 20:00That Yeah, right. I do like that, yeah.
- 20:05So, so of course the the main part of signs of amusement is
- 20:09these builds and the signs. And so I'm, I'm going to switch
- 20:16here views and we'll look at some of some of their work.
- 20:20I'm fine with all the flashing lights and my.
- 20:26Some someone, I don't know who that was, someone wanted to
- 20:28talk. So tell us, tell us about this,
- 20:33this one here. So this was actually a custom
- 20:38order. Someone wanted one.
- 20:40Obviously this is the leaving today sign that's above the
- 20:43archway as you walk into Disneyland.
- 20:47Someone wanted one about this, the life-size and I try to
- 20:53guesstimate what the size was and I I guessed it made about 18
- 20:56inches, but might be a little smaller.
- 20:58But that's the biggest one I made from that.
- 21:02And that's all MDF and the background is that orange peel
- 21:09texture for drywall and just kind of cut it down a little
- 21:12bit. Oh, OK.
- 21:14Yeah, it's a little. Tricky to do on that one, but I
- 21:18I've narrowed it down and made it a little easier and actually
- 21:21have build kit build kits for this and people want to make
- 21:24their own so. See, I have one.
- 21:26Yeah, I got there. I got.
- 21:30That one too. The one I I actually sell is is
- 21:33slightly bigger than those ones that OK that Disney gave us but.
- 21:37Yeah, I was very happy when when I when I got that one in the
- 21:40mail, I was like, Oh yeah. That one's beautiful.
- 21:43Like I said, it's right here on mine.
- 21:45So, yeah, so when I saw it, when you sent me the picture, I was
- 21:47like, Oh yeah, we got to talk about that.
- 21:50Yeah, very. Cool.
- 21:54Yeah, for anybody doesn't know, that sign is special because
- 21:58when you enter Disneyland or Disney World and you go under
- 22:02the railroad tracks, that sign hangs right there as you enter
- 22:07above your head. And so it's a very special sign
- 22:10in case anybody, anybody wasn't familiar where that actually
- 22:13hangs. I look at that almost every
- 22:16time, right? By it.
- 22:18Yeah, yeah. I always try to try to look at
- 22:21that one. So tell us about this one.
- 22:24Yeah, so a friend of mine, Ernie, he he runs Haunted OC and
- 22:32they were coming up on their 10th anniversary and he just is
- 22:37like he just wanted the sign. And I, I just decided like I'll
- 22:40make a tombstone and I, I again use the orange peel texture to
- 22:44make it look, you know, kind of like concrete.
- 22:46It's, it's a bit overkill on, on the darkening of things, but
- 22:51it's because it was going to be shown in like, you know, dark
- 22:54time setting or whatever. I tried to make it like you
- 22:59would on for like a movie set or whatever.
- 23:01So, but yeah, it was pretty fun. I took the Dremel and I etched
- 23:05in like scratches and you know, the gouges on you can see like
- 23:09on the left side there and cracks and all that.
- 23:12It's pretty fun to make. And how long would that take you
- 23:15to make? Would you say I think there's
- 23:17something two weeks, obviously not like straight, but you know
- 23:22here and there and that's all MDF and some like foam.
- 23:26What do you call it like the hard installation foam that's in
- 23:32the middle just to kind of make it less weight so.
- 23:35Yeah, Corey's favorite ride? My favorite ride as well.
- 23:43Yeah, I love that sign. So so authentic.
- 23:47Yeah, so I, I happened to find Bob Gurr who designed the
- 23:56monorail and people mover and anything they say with wheels at
- 24:00Disneyland. He he has events that you can go
- 24:06to. Sometimes they're at his house,
- 24:07sometimes they're just speaking events at different places.
- 24:10So I ended up going to 1 and I, I met him, it was cool.
- 24:17Went to another one and met him again, like sort of, you know,
- 24:21got to become friends. And this one was for his 90th
- 24:26birthday. So I made this one for them to
- 24:30auction off and that's why he signed it and then they
- 24:33auctioned it off and I also made the sky bucket sign as well for
- 24:39the same event. Very nice for that same event.
- 24:43That's pretty cool. So if anybody doesn't know, the
- 24:50Adventureland sign is missing from Disney World, so that that
- 24:55might be what happened. They had Jason just make a new
- 24:59one. I wish that was the case, but.
- 25:05Yeah. But Adventure Land is one of my
- 25:10favorite lands and I I always loved the way that it was all
- 25:15made out. It looks like twigs kind of
- 25:18making words up and all that. And I, I love the fact the
- 25:21thatching that's behind it and I, I, I really wanted to try to
- 25:24find the thatching to do on there or laser etch it, but
- 25:28haven't gotten that far yet on there.
- 25:30It'd be like so small you wouldn't even be able to make it
- 25:33out really. But this is one of my favorite
- 25:36signs to make and it's just, it's very straightforward.
- 25:40You know, it's just lines scarved in there and make it
- 25:45look like the separation of the bamboo and two different colors
- 25:50of wood. It's got little faux weather
- 25:55weather leather strapping for the cross stitching.
- 25:58It's pretty. Simple but.
- 26:02All laser cut. You have this on your on the
- 26:04build right? Don't you have a video of this
- 26:07on your build? Yeah, because I, I also, I sell
- 26:10these and I also sell them as kits so people can make their
- 26:13own. Oh, some of the first videos
- 26:16that I did were the build videos of me building these so people
- 26:20can look watch me build them so they.
- 26:21Can build themselves. That's a good idea.
- 26:24I like that idea. You mentioned the sky buckets.
- 26:28I think that's what's next. Yeah, Yeah.
- 26:31This was. It was pretty tricky because
- 26:34none of these fonts exist. Disney hand paints everything
- 26:38when they'd make the signs, which is cool.
- 26:40I totally respect people who can do that.
- 26:43I cannot. Especially if you're going to
- 26:45remake things over and over again, right?
- 26:48Yeah, not going to talk about that.
- 26:50But I made a template, and then from those templates I can make
- 26:55these. And this is kind of tricky
- 26:58because you have to apply the template over the other one and
- 27:01sometimes that can pick up the other paint.
- 27:04It's not the funnest sign to make because it's actually two
- 27:06different colors of the red. You can't really tell, but it
- 27:08is. And anyway, it's, it's, it takes
- 27:12a lot. So I, I only make these on
- 27:15special occasions. So.
- 27:17But in fact I've only made three of these so far.
- 27:21Oh, OK. Wow.
- 27:27Yeah, you talked about Bob Gurr. He tells about this one.
- 27:33So I also talked about Ernie, and Ernie is Bob's manager.
- 27:38That's a whole other story in itself how that happened.
- 27:40But because I became friends with both of them and I go to
- 27:45many of these events, I always like to pay it forward.
- 27:49And I made a couple signs for Bob that we've seen.
- 27:52And I love his podcast. And I didn't design this
- 27:58graphic, but I did design it for the laser, making the different
- 28:02layers and how the lighting is and all that and having these
- 28:07glasses all separately from there.
- 28:09And boy, this took I, I had to use a friend's laser because I
- 28:15don't have a laser that was big enough.
- 28:17And she's a fellow woodworker. She's called the Awesome Orange.
- 28:22So she was a friend back when I was doing wood Ring.
- 28:25Still is. And then I had my brother help
- 28:30me paint it and put it together because he had more space in his
- 28:32garage at the time. And yeah, it was just fun to
- 28:37make. It's the graphic was not like
- 28:42perfect. And I tried to put that not
- 28:44perfect into the sign. So like, edges are not exactly
- 28:48the same on this side, and it is on this side.
- 28:50You know, I wanted to keep that aspect of the graphic in place.
- 28:56And yeah, it's like I said, it's just fun to do.
- 28:59And I I gave it to Bob and he loves it.
- 29:03And I believe we have proof of that somewhere.
- 29:08We might, We might. You talked about.
- 29:16Yeah, you talked about the fact that if it had wheels, Bob
- 29:20designed it at Disneyland. Mr. Toad's vehicle, which is in
- 29:25his house and that sign that's on there I designed it was the
- 29:30first thing I made for him. And if you know anything about
- 29:34Bob, I, I guess when, when he got hired, they didn't have like
- 29:39titles. So Bob kind of made his own
- 29:41title, which was director of special vehicle design.
- 29:45I believe that's what it said and I I kind of made that title
- 29:50for him on that sign and I did it in like a people over as kind
- 29:54of style. So.
- 29:56That's awesome. And that's all wood.
- 29:59The the Bob's name is acrylic and then the title underneath it
- 30:05is actually vinyl lettering. Oh, OK.
- 30:13And there you are giving given the sign to Bob and see
- 30:18director. Of special vehicle.
- 30:21Development tell me Bob is not like look at this red cowboy hat
- 30:25and if you see any of his videos on he's big on social media,
- 30:28like much bigger than probably the four of us combined by Fox
- 30:34and and he's out there with his red sneakers and he's just one
- 30:38of the coolest people really. I don't know the story behind
- 30:42the red sneakers. Steve actually has a funny story
- 30:45about meeting Bob with the red sneakers.
- 30:49Oh, you've met Bob also. He met what's.
- 30:52That Steve, you met Bob, OK. Yeah, but tell your your your
- 30:57bus story. Yeah, so the first time I met
- 30:59Bob, we were actually just leaving Carrollwood Barn in
- 31:03Griffith Park where his tour. I they stopped there and, and
- 31:09Bob shows him around Walt's barn that he has there.
- 31:13And so Bob walked out. We were walking into the car and
- 31:16Bob walks out of his, of the bus and I'm like, oh, that's Bob.
- 31:20I got to go say hi to him. So I, you know, said hi to him,
- 31:23said thank you, you know, for everything you do and
- 31:24everything. And he's like, hey, how do you
- 31:26like my bus? It matches my shoes because it's
- 31:29a big, huge red bus. And that's all he cared about
- 31:33was his shoes matching his bus. Yeah, this guy is just one, one
- 31:40of the coolest people. Yeah.
- 31:42And, and, you know, I I talked about, you think about, you
- 31:45know, Disneyland is celebrating its 70th anniversary.
- 31:49Bob just turned 90. He's.
- 31:52Going to be. 9393, Yeah, this. Next month I think.
- 31:58So do the math, folks. He was designing the monorail
- 32:02and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and all these vehicles for these, you
- 32:05know, the people mover and all that in his early 20s.
- 32:09Yeah. Like, I love my son.
- 32:13I'm not going to ask him to do the monorail at 22.
- 32:17Just just saying yeah, and just. And that's funny.
- 32:21Too, Because I mean, just to be hired by Walt and and Walt, you
- 32:29know, he knew that none of these people had the correct
- 32:32education. He just knew that they knew what
- 32:34they were talking about. And Bob took, you know, design
- 32:38courses and whatever. And I think he was working for
- 32:41Ford at one point. And, you know, he just was like,
- 32:44yeah, I can, I can do the Autopia car.
- 32:46Sure. And they did it.
- 32:47And then they gave him something else.
- 32:49He's like, yeah, I can do that. That's how things work back
- 32:52then. Yeah, yeah.
- 32:55And most time he said, Oh yeah, I can do that knowing I have no
- 32:59clue. I'll figure it out after I get
- 33:03after I get the assignment. Yeah, he's just, he's just very
- 33:08cool. Let's see and then tell us about
- 33:12this. Said that Jason almost broke.
- 33:17Yeah, so this is Bob's podcast set and you you can actually
- 33:21tell on this one. You can't tell when you're
- 33:23watching the video, but that desk is not that wide for him to
- 33:27sit behind that he, that desk makes it makes him look like
- 33:31like it's big, you know, When I sit there, I'm like, like, you
- 33:34know. Yeah.
- 33:37But that space between the the the seat and what that little
- 33:41bookshelf behind him. And when I got up, that chair
- 33:43went flying back and I almost broke his little window and the
- 33:45Pinocchio dawn and I was like. Oh.
- 33:49But this guy white bucket sign is the one I made and a little
- 33:56retro TV there on the shelf is what I made and is how Steve
- 34:01there first found me on my channel.
- 34:05Oh wow. So it's actually a an iPad
- 34:07holder for this. For Ernie, he wanted to put it
- 34:10in a booth to display old Disney shows and stuff.
- 34:14And it's OK, wow. And this is this is his actual
- 34:19podcast set. And Jason has the items that
- 34:23he's made for him in this set. And if you haven't seen Bob
- 34:26show, go back and watch some episodes because he's Bob's
- 34:30really good again, 93 again. The guy just does it all.
- 34:35Yeah, no, he when, when I first met him, he was still like
- 34:38riding the bike. At one point he was flying
- 34:42gliders like he's at his 90th 13.
- 34:47He was out there dancing and I, I don't mean like barely, I mean
- 34:51like he was dancing. Like the guy is not stopping.
- 34:56Love it. I love it.
- 34:58Yeah, so. We were, we were going to meet
- 35:01him and then but he was coming back from a cruise, so.
- 35:05Yeah. Yeah, so he was on a cruise.
- 35:08So, so because of that, that sign that you saw earlier of the
- 35:15Bob Ger podcast show that Jason made, they had to send it to to
- 35:24Bob to see. And I'll show you that video.
- 35:30Hey, kids, look at this beautiful sign with all the
- 35:33flashing lights in my face and monorail and rockets and people
- 35:37mover. However, Jason with signs of
- 35:41amusement. Look, he's got an amusing sign.
- 35:44Look, it's got actual flashing lights on this sign beautifully
- 35:49done all in different layers. At least got my glasses even
- 35:53there different. Look at that.
- 35:55Jason did a beautiful job. People do so many nice things.
- 35:59For me, I think this is absolutely top.
- 36:03So I, I just, I watched that episode because you had that on
- 36:09your, your show. And I watched that episode.
- 36:13I was just about in tears because I like art and people
- 36:19that, you know, can design things and, you know, stuff I
- 36:24couldn't even imagine trying to put together.
- 36:27And to see Bob Gurr, who designed all this stuff, he's an
- 36:33absolute Disney legend, just so taken with your work was just
- 36:39just incredible to to see. Yeah, I, I had the other video
- 36:46too, where I'm making or showing off the little TV to Ernie and
- 36:50Bob was there and that was like, that was a couple years ago and
- 36:55that was the first thing. And we're Bob actually like was
- 36:59talking about what I made, you know, and he was like in awe of
- 37:02the TV just like that. That like what you're describing
- 37:07was what I felt with that TV. And yes, I I felt it again with
- 37:11the sign. But it just it because like we
- 37:15were saying, the peeping mover was my favorite ride.
- 37:18So I never thought I wouldn't meet the guy who designed it,
- 37:21let alone for him to like something that I made.
- 37:25So yeah. Exactly.
- 37:26That totally made my whole century you.
- 37:31Know. Yeah, because that's Disney
- 37:34approved. You know, that's that's Disney
- 37:37approved. You did something that Disney
- 37:39would sign up on, you know, a Disney Legend.
- 37:42So that's amazing. Just unbelievable, unbelievable
- 37:47work. So so you are West Coast.
- 37:52So you're Disneyland. Both of you are Disneyland,
- 37:56right? OK, so I'm, I'm, I'm gonna put
- 38:02them on the spot. Who has the better Haunted
- 38:05Mansion? Disneyland.
- 38:08Well, we do. Well, you don't even have.
- 38:12One right now our ghost host is in the right spot or not ghost
- 38:17what is? The name the the the hat box.
- 38:19Yeah, Hat box is in the right spot.
- 38:20Yeah, yeah. But it's, I mean, it's the
- 38:22original, right? The our elevator has a function.
- 38:27Yeah. Yeah, and your Pirates has 2
- 38:31drops, Yeah. Yeah.
- 38:33We only have one drop here, but ours has a function.
- 38:36That drop has a function to take you under the under the
- 38:40railroad. Well, you know, ours go under
- 38:44the railroad too, and under Blue Bayou and all that, so.
- 38:47Yeah. Same and has a restaurant
- 38:49connected to it. Yeah.
- 38:52Yeah. So how often do you get to
- 38:55Disney World? I've been one time.
- 39:01Oh, and that was 20 years ago. So fun fact, next month I am
- 39:07going. Hey, all right.
- 39:10Yeah, all right, we just got back again.
- 39:16We mentioned our friends from the UK, Steve and I, and the 2
- 39:19girls went to Disneyland in May Zach just got back I I met up
- 39:25with him then as well. And.
- 39:28And now Steve and the 2 girls are going back to Disneyland
- 39:32next month and then the girls are flying to Disney World,
- 39:36which I will meet them and then we're going to go hang out with
- 39:39Lou and Kenny. Very nice, very nice.
- 39:43Is Bob coming, Bob? Fly is over there quite often
- 39:48and if there's something happening, you know, I mean, he
- 39:52it was just like this thing, you know, all kinds of social media
- 39:55stuff. Yeah.
- 39:56Is that actually the last our guest was that last week or two
- 40:00weeks ago was from the Walt Disney World birthplace, and Bob
- 40:06was supposed to be at that that event.
- 40:08They're doing a charity event, so he's supposed to be there.
- 40:11So I think that's next weekend, yeah.
- 40:15Yeah, he is way, way more busier than when I first met him, Even
- 40:19so. Absolutely amazing.
- 40:22I love it. I love it so.
- 40:25I'm like that at 93. I really.
- 40:27Yeah, really. How do I make?
- 40:29It to 90. Three, I was going to say I can
- 40:32only hope to be that active when I'm 63.
- 40:36So, so so how long are you going to Disney World for?
- 40:45I think we're going well. We're going for a week, but I
- 40:47think I'm there for four days. OK, that should be the.
- 40:51Twenty 20th through the 24th, all right, I believe.
- 40:57Well, hopefully it lines up that the car is in the parks those
- 41:00days, two of those days. And yeah, you can get to meet
- 41:04him. Yeah, 'cause he's typically one
- 41:07Wednesday, Saturday we're. Going to do Not so not so scary
- 41:10on the 23rd I believe. Very nice, very nice.
- 41:19Have you watched any of the the Halloween party?
- 41:23I watched some of it here and there but I'm trying to not
- 41:27watch a lot of it. Watch.
- 41:28Anything. But we did go over a lot of the
- 41:30food items the last couple of videos.
- 41:33So. Yes.
- 41:36There's there's an easy way to try, but there's there's no
- 41:40potatoes with hot dogs though. We, we don't.
- 41:42We have two, we have two hot dogs, but that was it.
- 41:45But no potatoes. But is the potato?
- 41:49Is the hot dog in the potato? No.
- 41:54I saw a hot dog borrowed into a bun yesterday, a foot long.
- 41:59I had a double take. Some ladies walking, walking
- 42:01around with it. So picture an entire foot long
- 42:04bun. But it's like they borrowed.
- 42:07They drilled a hole, you know, so they could fit the hot dog.
- 42:10Inside. Oh, OK.
- 42:13That was over at Universal. That's funny.
- 42:17Wow, yeah. OK, so so you know, those of us
- 42:25on the left side of the screen have not been to Disney
- 42:28Disneyland. So don't worry that you've only
- 42:29been to Disney World once because we've been to Disneyland
- 42:320 times. Oh wow.
- 42:34But we're we're going to change that.
- 42:36But that all changes Disney World.
- 42:38Yeah. Oh yeah, that all changes this
- 42:41June. This June.
- 42:42Will be over there. Yeah, for.
- 42:44The first time, yes. So.
- 42:47Maybe we can join you over there as well.
- 42:49Yeah, yeah, that would that would be cool.
- 42:52That would be cool. So what's coming up on on your
- 42:55your night? Actually, you're going you're,
- 42:57you're doing a show right after. This is your show.
- 43:01Yeah, 'cause it's Monday night. So I've been doing from start to
- 43:07from very start on the graphic all the way to building a sign.
- 43:11I'm still in the middle of, well, almost at the end of
- 43:14designing the graphic of the Golden Horseshoe.
- 43:17So I guess tonight will be part five, I think is what we're on.
- 43:22We might finish the graphic. We'll see.
- 43:26Well, I, I am somewhat involved in that because he needed a
- 43:30picture of the Golden Horseshoe. So I reached out to our friends
- 43:35in the Disney Streamer Network and I was like, hey, he needs a,
- 43:37a, a up close picture of the sign of the Golden Horseshoe.
- 43:40If anybody's in the parks, can you send him one?
- 43:43And then he was like, no, I need Disneyland.
- 43:45I was like, oh, nevermind. I almost sent him the wrong the
- 43:49wrong picture. I went again when I went to meet
- 43:54up with Zach, I I got the photos I needed.
- 43:57So, you know, East Coast brain, Yeah.
- 44:01East Coast, Brain immediately thought.
- 44:04Oh yeah, Magic Kingdom I. Mean there's you would have been
- 44:07over in Disneyland I. Mean, yeah, yeah.
- 44:11So you can take. A picture in June for him.
- 44:14Yes, Yeah, I'll take a picture in June.
- 44:16Yeah, just just leave it sitting in in the garage as it is until
- 44:19I I get that picture for you. So so you mentioned that your
- 44:25favorite rides people mover. How about you, Steve?
- 44:27The. Same.
- 44:29Same. People Mover if Well, now that
- 44:32People Mover is not there anymore, it's Haunted Mansion.
- 44:35But it is. Always first people mover.
- 44:38OK. Yeah.
- 44:40I mean I I would say that my go to is probably Big Thunder at
- 44:44this point. OK.
- 44:46I'm I'm pretty equal between Pirates and Haunted Mansion and
- 44:48Big Thunder so. And and so both of you mentioned
- 44:53rides that are in Disneyland, does California Adventure just
- 44:58not get like does anybody say my favorite ride is and it's a ride
- 45:04over there? Well, I I mean I think
- 45:08Incredicoast Incredicoaster is awesome.
- 45:12I also like Radiator Springs Racers.
- 45:14That, yeah. In fact, I like that better than
- 45:16test track, although I haven't been on the new.
- 45:19Version of the new one. I mean, there's not much else
- 45:25out there really. Maybe when Avatar comes we'll
- 45:29see. But you know, Midway Mania is
- 45:32pretty cool over there too. So with DCA, it's for me
- 45:38personally, I'm not a big fan of DC, but I do love Cars Land and
- 45:43I love Pixar Pier or the Pixar area at night, at night.
- 45:48It's amazing. OK.
- 45:50But during the day it's it's there, so.
- 45:56So for someone like. Just campus is sorry.
- 46:00Go ahead. I was to say for for someone
- 46:02like Lawrence and I who are going for the first time, we
- 46:06want to feel like we're not rushed.
- 46:08We want to take our time and really soak it all in for the
- 46:11first time. So in my mind, I felt like 4
- 46:14days was needed. But it kind of sounds like from
- 46:16what you guys are saying is it is 3, Is 3 days enough to feel
- 46:20that way? Like you've seen everything, you
- 46:22kind of kind of chilled out a little bit, took your time going
- 46:25from one thing to the next. Or would you suggest more of
- 46:27like 4 days? I, I would do the four days just
- 46:31because you're being, you're going to go to the original park
- 46:36and you want to soak all that in.
- 46:38And you know, DCA is fine. It's well, actually Sammy, one
- 46:44of the Co hosts of middle-aged magic, she actually loves DCA.
- 46:50And so it's a little different 'cause it's not, how do I
- 46:54explain that? It's not the same, I guess magic
- 46:57you call it. It's so it's, you know, but to
- 47:02experience everything, I I would definitely do a four day thing.
- 47:07Universe is totally different. That's more like one day.
- 47:11Oh. Yeah.
- 47:13For starters, Disneyland actually has more rides than
- 47:17Magic Kingdom, even though it's a smaller footprint.
- 47:21You'll want to do a day there, and you could do a day in DCA,
- 47:25maybe you do some Downtown Disney, whatever.
- 47:29But there's obviously going to be other days where you're going
- 47:32to want to ride things over again.
- 47:35So I would suggest that at least one of your days should be a
- 47:38Park Harbor. Yeah.
- 47:43We, we, we certainly have to have to look into that because I
- 47:48want to get there for the for the 70th, Although I mean with
- 47:52what they're doing for the 70th, like 75 is right around the
- 47:54corner. And so they're going to have to
- 47:58be even bigger than what they did for the 70th or what they
- 48:01did for Disney World's 50th because that we just blew that
- 48:05out of the water, didn't we? That was just the, the most
- 48:07amazing party ever. That that was the most watered
- 48:13down thing is, you know, you got enchantment, which I I like, but
- 48:17outside of that in merch there wasn't much.
- 48:20Yeah, they they don't do as much as you think that they should.
- 48:23You know, I don't get it. Yeah, I think they miss a lot in
- 48:27that too. I they, they, the marketing
- 48:30team, they miss a lot of opportunities, especially with
- 48:34the 70th. You know, they, there's so many
- 48:37things they could have done. And then instead we get, jeez, I
- 48:42don't know, things are a lot of people just it's OK.
- 48:46It's nothing spectacular, nothing like the IT seemed like
- 48:50the 60th and the 50th had way more stuff than the 70th.
- 48:56I was trying to think something. Redesigned the whole castle with
- 49:00the diamond roof or whatever. Yeah, yeah.
- 49:05Which ruined the roof, but you know, yeah.
- 49:08Wow. Yeah, maybe.
- 49:12That'll repair right after that, but.
- 49:15Well, that, that's like our Epcot lights, you know, in the,
- 49:18in the ground, you know, they, it was beautiful for the two
- 49:23weeks that it worked. And now they're still trying to
- 49:26figure out how to how to make them work.
- 49:29So. But yeah, that's like the, so
- 49:32the Epcot 40th right there, which is actually where Corey
- 49:38and I met in person for the first time.
- 49:42Outside of that, it really wasn't anything special.
- 49:45It was meeting us meeting for the first time and that giveaway
- 49:49that was, that was about. Yeah, a little bit of merch and
- 49:52that's it. It's like they.
- 49:54Throw a little merch at you and and that's it, you know?
- 49:58Yeah, so hopefully, you know, I mean Epcot's 50th, maybe we'll
- 50:02see something something bigger, but I would think the 75th of of
- 50:08Disneyland, they've they've got to do something much.
- 50:10Bigger. Better, yeah.
- 50:12Yeah, well, hopefully they have better colored chewing as well.
- 50:16The whole pink and blue. Yeah.
- 50:19Line, thing, whatever you want to call it.
- 50:21A little weird. The fact that the Star Wars
- 50:26night for that this year is kind of on the similar graphic level,
- 50:31You know, it's like weird rainbow lines for whatever
- 50:34reason. Interesting.
- 50:37I know that you get so you have paint the night, which I love
- 50:43that parade. So many people were like we
- 50:46should have got something like that here.
- 50:47I said no, it doesn't make. It doesn't fit the theme of
- 50:52Magic Kingdom to me. It certainly fits, you know,
- 50:55California, I don't think it fits our theme.
- 50:58Also, that means that we have two different parades, right?
- 51:02You get one over there, you get one over here, you get to see
- 51:04them both. But over there, the parade goes
- 51:10away for the holidays. Now, to me that seems odd.
- 51:16Like ours. We we will lose paint the night
- 51:19or we'll lose Starlight for the Halloween parties and the
- 51:23Christmas parties. But you guys lose the parade for
- 51:26the entire holiday season over there did are people like, you
- 51:32know, figure it out. Give me that parade.
- 51:35Or is it just it is what it is. I, I, I think it's it.
- 51:41They're so used to it. It's it, you know, 'cause we had
- 51:44that special Christmas parade and it seems like everybody's
- 51:47looking forward to having that during the holidays.
- 51:51That and that runs every. That'll run every night.
- 51:55I believe so, yeah. It's actually during the day
- 51:57too. OK.
- 51:59OK. So that makes sense then, yeah.
- 52:01Yeah, I I think we're just more of what they call the locals
- 52:06park locals. So the locals park, having the
- 52:10Hampton Mansion overlay, you know, the lights on Small World,
- 52:20those are things that people look forward to every year.
- 52:23Trades like people come for those.
- 52:25So yeah, it's just a whole different kind of ball game, I
- 52:28guess. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
- 52:30That makes sense. So again, signs of amusement
- 52:36will be live tonight doing Part 5, you said.
- 52:40Yeah, and in in an hour actually.
- 52:43So, yeah, so make sure to to check them out any of the big
- 52:50projects that you're thinking of of doing that you have.
- 52:57I mean, we have stuff that we have in the works that we want
- 53:00to do for these live builds. Like I, I mean, nothing's
- 53:06totally crazy or anything, but I think the next sign I might do
- 53:10as Big Thunder Mountain after this.
- 53:13But there might be some things here and there that we don't
- 53:15even know of right now. That we know we're.
- 53:18On the fly. But my big thing is I have a 4
- 53:24by 8 foot laser sitting here in boxes that I need to put
- 53:27together and then I'll be able to do some large wall art kind
- 53:32of pieces. And I'm looking forward to that
- 53:35because I might mix in some kind of Disney stuff and do like one
- 53:38off things here and there. So that might make it onto the
- 53:41channel for doing those designs. We'll see.
- 53:45Very cool, very cool. And of course, he's part of the
- 53:48Disney Streamer Network. So you could have his show up
- 53:52listening to his show and have all the other folks in the
- 53:54background running and, you know, check out signs of
- 53:58amusement and expedition. Steve, let's, let's get the
- 54:02let's get these gentlemen up to to 1000 Subs.
- 54:05Where? Where are you now?
- 54:09We are at 590. OK.
- 54:12And we are, since we mentioned it, we are doing a giveaway for
- 54:16this guy right here. This is Rocket Raccoon.
- 54:20He is about 3 feet tall. He is a vinyl figure, I guess
- 54:25they call it life-size figure. And he's currently, depending on
- 54:29how you find him on eBay, he could be worth between 1500 to
- 54:32$3000. It's not what I paid for, but.
- 54:36Wow. If we make it to 1000, I am
- 54:39giving him away to one of our subscribers.
- 54:43That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool.
- 54:45So yeah, make sure to to check them out.
- 54:49Roderick had the link in there. Roderick or one of the mods, if
- 54:52he can drop that link in there, then I appreciate that.
- 54:57It's great having these guys on. Certainly want to have have you
- 55:00on again. We had we had a ball the the
- 55:04first night that we were on, we were doing yeah, yeah.
- 55:10First night we all met and you know, I I think I had told the
- 55:15guys that that we were on with that.
- 55:18We basically like, I felt like we took over this show.
- 55:24We were just with the park pirates.
- 55:27Yeah, yeah. Amusement park pirates.
- 55:28Me and Steve have been on them quite a few times and we've
- 55:32actually met a few guests that he had and we brought them on,
- 55:34you know, to our channel. Nice.
- 55:37So we've, we've some friends over from over there as well,
- 55:39you know. Very nice.
- 55:41Very nice. Yeah.
- 55:42That was that was we we covered all the Halloween stuff and
- 55:46apparently Disney got a sale on potatoes.
- 55:49That's all I'm saying. Every meal there were potatoes
- 55:52and not French fries, right? You would expect French fries,
- 55:54right? It's theme park.
- 55:56No. Potato and hot dogs I don't
- 55:57understand. Wouldn't this become a thing?
- 56:00I guess I got to go deliver the potatoes.
- 56:03Yeah, exactly, exactly. So no, we appreciate you being
- 56:10on and certainly look forward to to having you on again.
- 56:15And you know, talking Disneyland and Disney World.
- 56:18And like you said, you go to Disney World next month, make
- 56:23sure to let us know and see if you meet up, meet up with Corey.
- 56:27Yeah, and you know, we plan to do some live streams from there
- 56:31as well. Have to work out what how our
- 56:35signals go. I I know Wi-Fi is probably not
- 56:38the best like it is in Disneyland.
- 56:39So just reach out to Corey or put in our discord.
- 56:45We'll, we'll have all the yeah, yeah.
- 56:48Yeah, you'll get a lot of, you'll get a lot of help there.
- 56:50I mean, I got the map in my head to everywhere, just about
- 56:54everywhere. I mean, even to the point where
- 56:57I had no cameras with me yesterday and my son and I were
- 57:02exiting Islands of Adventure over here, which is the second
- 57:05Universal Park. And as we were walking out,
- 57:08Lawrence Trigger went off in my brain and said, oh, we're going
- 57:11to lag right here. I'm like, oh shoot, no, we're
- 57:13not. No, we're not.
- 57:15So not even live. Yeah.
- 57:19It just, it just sticks out. What he, you know, he's in the
- 57:25parks and I'm producing his live stream from here and he'll say,
- 57:31all right, just stay with us. There's going to be a little
- 57:33lag. As soon as he says that, that's
- 57:35where it lags. Like he he knows it.
- 57:38He knows. So yeah, yeah, you can.
- 57:42Almost quiz me? Yeah, you can probably quiz me,
- 57:43Lawrence. Like a ride, in fact.
- 57:46Where does it, where does it happen?
- 57:48What do you have to be on Wi-Fi or do you have to be on, you
- 57:50know, cellular? It's a whole thing.
- 57:53It's a whole thing. It's a whole thing.
- 57:55Hopefully Disneyland is not like that when we go, 'cause we're
- 57:58obviously we don't even know the park.
- 58:00So yeah. I know, I know.
- 58:03Well, we have to do a lot of network.
- 58:04Now, yeah, it's just best to not get on their Wi-Fi at all.
- 58:09Yeah. Oh, OK, OK, yeah.
- 58:12We just make sure you have a unlimited data plan and you
- 58:15could. Yeah, Yeah, Unlimited, Our
- 58:18unlimited is good to go. We use AT&T, so I don't know how
- 58:21good AT&T is out there. I'll just say I'm sorry we're.
- 58:25Fine. Yeah.
- 58:27Oh, no. Oh.
- 58:28Man, no, I, I had it honestly. I, I, I, I'm on Mint Mobile now,
- 58:33which is using T-Mobile network, but I, I was on AT&T before and
- 58:37I was on the Wi-Fi live streaming from the monorail and
- 58:42it cut off. And then I turned on my AT&T
- 58:45data and it was fine. OK, OK, well, again, we we have
- 58:52good friends in the network that are in the Disney streamer
- 58:54network that are that are out there.
- 58:56So theme park casual and Barry plays Christy P Disney amusement
- 59:02park pirates. So yeah, I've taken live.
- 59:05Streams I have topped the mountains in places like Hawaii,
- 59:08like I don't care where I take it.
- 59:10I just go for it and we'll see what happens.
- 59:12Yeah. Oh, what a what a what a day
- 59:15that was. If anybody doesn't know that
- 59:16story, we attempted to pretty much be live every day in
- 59:21Hawaii, went to Disney's Aulani and we, we took our our
- 59:24audience, our community on tours every day to the point where
- 59:28they loved the car ride too. So we were live on our way
- 59:31there, live on our way back. I swear those must have been 7-8
- 59:35hours streams. But yeah, I'm trying to think of
- 59:41what what, what rock we climbed that day.
- 59:44It's just not coming to me. But we, we started to take it up
- 59:48and we started to lose signal through the woods.
- 59:51But as soon as we came out of the clearing, it was beautiful.
- 59:54And we spent some time up there and you could see Pearl Harbor
- 59:57in the distance and really neat. But the funny part of it was.
- 1:00:03As we started going down, I'm looking at my battery and I say,
- 1:00:06oh, OK, I gotta, I gotta go get on the battery now like we
- 1:00:10normally do, looking for my battery.
- 1:00:12Can't find my battery, no battery.
- 1:00:14And I'm like, Oh my, if we want to keep this thing going, I've
- 1:00:18got to make it down to the car, which is how far down I ran.
- 1:00:24I ran down that mountain and steps in.
- 1:00:27Probably pretty dangerous areas to get down there in time and
- 1:00:32got to the car, open the door, grab the wire, grab the battery,
- 1:00:35and as soon as I plugged it into the phone, it died.
- 1:00:41Yeah, but I think we were able to bring it back.
- 1:00:43But I'll never forget that. Oh, that's funny.
- 1:00:46What we do for live streaming. Yeah.
- 1:00:50Yeah, yeah, it's funny. Yeah, I was in.
- 1:00:53I was here in Raleigh doing a parade on Saturday and, you
- 1:00:59know, not going to a park. I don't have my I, I just didn't
- 1:01:03think right. I didn't pack my bag.
- 1:01:05I had no wires with me. I had no backup battery.
- 1:01:09I had nothing. I was just out there with my
- 1:01:11gimbal and the phone. And I'm starting to watch the
- 1:01:14parade and it it's, you know, people complain about our parade
- 1:01:17and there's, there's too much of a gap.
- 1:01:19I don't know if people do the same thing with Paint the Night,
- 1:01:21but there's there's a gap between the sections and these
- 1:01:24were like huge gaps, like 10 minutes between these.
- 1:01:29Yeah, because they were, they were bands.
- 1:01:32Yeah, yeah, exactly. But they're, they're called
- 1:01:36bands, but they're not really not performing bands.
- 1:01:39And so the music is really loud. And so there's these huge breaks
- 1:01:43in between them. So I'm looking at my battery and
- 1:01:46I'm like, is this going to make it?
- 1:01:48Is this going to make it so. But we, we made it.
- 1:01:50I think it only went down to like 61%, but.
- 1:01:53Well, it gets stressful. It gets stressful when you start
- 1:01:56watching that battery go down. We got we got a gimbal that's
- 1:01:59just reached its peak and it's not even making it through a
- 1:02:03whole live stream now. And if I don't catch it in time,
- 1:02:05it's just dying on us. And it died 2 streams in a row,
- 1:02:08now 2 Saturdays in a row. And yet I'm sitting here being a
- 1:02:13producer and I have two gimbals over here.
- 1:02:20You have two hohem, you don't have two hohem.
- 1:02:22I have two Hohems. I actually have.
- 1:02:25I actually have three. I have two Hohems and I have a
- 1:02:29Mosa. Oh yeah, yeah, I have like three
- 1:02:32other gimbals. But actually we're.
- 1:02:36We're probably gonna lend those out to Jacob's film class
- 1:02:39because some of the students are thinking gonna break up in
- 1:02:41groups and do some films. And I'm like, just let him use
- 1:02:45some of our teacher was very impressed when he started
- 1:02:47talking about what he had at home.
- 1:02:50So you should have. Brought me a ho ham, I'll buy
- 1:02:53one off you. Why do you don't need?
- 1:02:56I don't need, I hardly need one. But yeah, so, so yeah.
- 1:03:03Again, Jason, Steve have a show coming up in about an hour, a
- 1:03:09little less than an hour. We are live Saturday.
- 1:03:16No Wednesday from Magic on living in Disney Channel I'll
- 1:03:22have a post show for you Saturday we are at where we.
- 1:03:28At we are at Animal Kingdom. We are park hopping in from a
- 1:03:31channel that never park hopped. We're park hopping all the time
- 1:03:34now. Yeah.
- 1:03:34So we're in a park. We're going to start at Animal
- 1:03:36Kingdom. We hear that that's some of the
- 1:03:38best pin trading that you can do.
- 1:03:40So we'll do some pin trading, some Wheeling and dealing.
- 1:03:43We'll try to get on Flight of Passage Everest.
- 1:03:47Of course, the the safari will take everything the park can
- 1:03:50give us and see what kind we can find for maybe some snacks over
- 1:03:53there. Do The Lion King show.
- 1:03:55We'll try to get all that in and then we'll jump over to Magic
- 1:03:57Kingdom for Starlight and whatever else we can get our
- 1:04:01eyes on and probably get fill up on some Starlight popcorn.
- 1:04:03It's it might be time. Once again, no one has filled.
- 1:04:08I bet no one has filled up on has had as many orders of
- 1:04:11Starlight popcorn on separate days than me.
- 1:04:14This will be order number 4. Do they have do they have custom
- 1:04:18popcorn over there at Disneyland?
- 1:04:22Custom pop so you. So you can go in right, and
- 1:04:25there's like 3 or 4 different choices of popcorn and then you
- 1:04:28can throw in, you know, whatever treats you want, Oreos and then.
- 1:04:33Probably Downtown Disney. Yeah, I mean there's like the
- 1:04:36shops where you can buy different ones, but the the
- 1:04:39actual like. To modify stuff, whatever you
- 1:04:42know. Yeah, yeah, they have, right?
- 1:04:46Listen, you, you guys need to tune in Saturday night or is it
- 1:04:50Wednesday or Saturday? Oh no, you're park hopping on
- 1:04:53Saturday. So probably popcorn Saturday.
- 1:04:55Yeah, well, we might make one on Saturday.
- 1:04:56Yeah, at the end of the evening, we usually go into the the the
- 1:04:59confectionery and I put AI do an overhead shot while they make
- 1:05:05this popcorn and we just layer the chocolate drizzle and it's.
- 1:05:10It's ridiculous. Marshmallows.
- 1:05:12Cookie crumbles. Skittles.
- 1:05:15I have. I have.
- 1:05:15Perfected. Oh well, you gotta let it go
- 1:05:19home and harden up. There's a whole system.
- 1:05:22I've got a whole system. I should probably put it on
- 1:05:24social media. It's a whole system I got it
- 1:05:27down to AT now. So what you have to do, it looks
- 1:05:30like you're putting a lot of chocolate, like we're layering
- 1:05:32it. Like you can't even see the
- 1:05:33popcorn. And then they put it on a layer
- 1:05:34of popcorn. Then I say, keep going, keep
- 1:05:36going, keep going. And what happens is when you
- 1:05:40break, I, I take it home next day, I break it up with my hands
- 1:05:43and I put it in a, in a airtight container so it'll stay fresh
- 1:05:47longer. Because normally it takes me
- 1:05:48weeks to finish something, but I'm finishing these in days.
- 1:05:54But I found as you start to eat it as as it all, as the popcorn
- 1:05:58falls to the bottom, probably when you're halfway through, you
- 1:06:01don't have that much chocolate left.
- 1:06:03So I say overdo the chocolate and you'll have, you know,
- 1:06:08ratio. Popcorn per chocolate works out
- 1:06:10better if you overdo it. Yeah, you got to have your own.
- 1:06:17Little special. Yeah, and and I'm not a.
- 1:06:21Butter. Yeah, I'm, I'm really not AI
- 1:06:26don't like different textures and stuff like that.
- 1:06:28So popcorn I eat and then I was there for New Year's and my two
- 1:06:35brothers and my son were with me and I was like, guys, we got to
- 1:06:39try this popcorn. I, I just, it's chocolate,
- 1:06:41right? I'm a chocoholic.
- 1:06:42I got to have this. Corey goes crazy for this stuff.
- 1:06:46Let's, let's make. So we get back to the we had a
- 1:06:50verbo. We get back and that popcorn was
- 1:06:54gone in like 3 days. And so our last day at that
- 1:06:59trip, we went back to Magic and I had to go home with two of two
- 1:07:03of the popcorns. So and he calls it the LW
- 1:07:07special and my wife loves that. So she's got to go get the LW
- 1:07:11special every. Day.
- 1:07:12She's there as well. The the funny part is I was
- 1:07:15there in July or April. I can't remember which trip it
- 1:07:19was, but I was with Corey, but I was still in the store.
- 1:07:23They had already gotten to the popcorn.
- 1:07:25And he he, he says, yeah, we need one of the LW special
- 1:07:30because there's a cast member who she doesn't know the whole
- 1:07:33recipe, but she knows about the LW special.
- 1:07:36And he goes, and that's LW right there.
- 1:07:38And she was like, Oh my God. It's like, I, yeah, everybody

- 1:07:55bread. That's.
- 1:07:57Oh, that sounds. Really good.
- 1:07:59It, it is really good. OK.

- 1:09:02is there's. Maybe more than twice.
- 1:09:03There's a lot, there's a lot, but there are no potatoes.
- 1:09:06Why? Did we get rid of the peanut
- 1:09:08butter Jelly wings? Why do we get rid of the peanut
- 1:09:11butter and Jelly wings? I don't know.
- 1:09:14That's my stance on that. We just, we just did that on our
- 1:09:19last Saturday, so. OK, deal with.
- 1:09:22The whole thing. Yeah, Yeah.
- 1:09:24So we're looking. We like to talk food you want?
- 1:09:26To brush up, yeah, we do. Nobody eats food more more than
- 1:09:30we do in Disney. Anyone that live streams, I
- 1:09:34just, there's no one, I just know it, there's no one that
- 1:09:36eats as much as we do. So definitely, if you're into
- 1:09:40that, you know, check that, check this out 'cause we're
- 1:09:42always eating in the parks. Yeah.
- 1:09:46What on Saturday, boy, I ate, I ordered too much food, but I put
- 1:09:50it down. I put it down, Lawrence, just
- 1:09:52just before Luminance. We so there's a place called
- 1:09:55Regal Eagle over there in Epcot, in, in America, and it has some
- 1:09:59of the arguably the best barbecue on Walt Disney World
- 1:10:02property. And so I got the, the, the pork,
- 1:10:07the, the, the shredded pork or whatever that my wife and I
- 1:10:10always get came with some cornbread and a side.
- 1:10:13So we did a bigger side of fries 'cause they put some beer cheese
- 1:10:19on them. So we wanted to try those.
- 1:10:21And so we had ice I, I grabbed a side of beans as well and side
- 1:10:26of Mac and cheese. And we got the s'mores dessert
- 1:10:29and the banana pudding dessert. So yeah, I got halfway through
- 1:10:34that. I was like, oh boy, I made a
- 1:10:35mistake, but we got through it. Yeah.
- 1:10:38He powered through. You know, I powered through.
- 1:10:41You know what? Tammy took the beans off the off
- 1:10:44the order. She told me this yesterday, but
- 1:10:47they gave her beans. What did she say?
- 1:10:49She said to them, oh, can I get some beans, 'cause I, I guess
- 1:10:53she decided we should just get dad some beans.
- 1:10:55And they didn't even charge her for them.
- 1:10:56They just said, here, take a, take a, take a bowl of beans.
