- 0:58'S. Crazy Holly.
- 1:00Grand Floridian. I'm contemporary stories and
- 1:04facts. I would buy a Wookie cookie

- 1:13why that they. That that they.
- 1:16Laid this life. Out.
- 1:19You know, from, from from birth to death in this show, it's
- 1:24actually much, much more to it than I think a lot of people
- 1:28realize until we really start to see it more.
- 1:29I'm going to. Skip out because I do have to do
- 1:31my football. Show where I will be.

- 2:27the latest posts for this show and links to other great Disney
- 2:30podcasts. Hello and welcome another
- 2:39edition of the Dis Pod episode #2 sitting on its own channel so
- 2:46I. Was so confused you said too.
- 2:51I got you OK. One O 2 is closer than two.
- 2:56Yeah, I don't know where at. Again, I lost out, you know,
- 2:58leading up to 100 episodes, that was cool.
- 3:00But maybe it's one O 6. One O 7, something like that.
- 3:04OK, that was my next guess. So here we are.
- 3:09We do this live because we do this for you.
- 3:11We see you all in chat. Welcome and thank you for being
- 3:14here watching our recorded. You're our live studio audience
- 3:18is what you are. And we're all done with this.
- 3:20Lawrence puts us on a nice bow and he sends it over to
- 3:23iHeartRadio, Apple, Spotify and Amazon where we value all of
- 3:29those listeners just as much. The O Sam Eagle is in the chat.
- 3:32He says this podcast is so hot you need an iced beverage.
- 3:36So hopefully everyone has an iced beverage if you don't run
- 3:39to your refrigerator right now. Yes.
- 3:44So here we are on a Mondays on a different channel.
- 3:48Is there anything else we can do to sabotage?
- 3:49I you know, we could. Program.
- 3:51Could have put it on at, you know, 2 in the afternoon.
- 3:54That probably would have really helped in our our numbers.
- 3:58Right, right. But it's OK, we had to change.
- 4:02We had to change today. And that's, that's OK.
- 4:04Luckily our our guests were able to make it today, which is which
- 4:09is really, really good. Good friends of of of hours of
- 4:14the channel of the network. I was on a podcast with them and
- 4:22it was a three hour podcast. This one will not be a three
- 4:25hour podcast. We'll be a little shorter than
- 4:27than that, but but I had a good time.
- 4:31Three hour tour. Yeah, yeah.
- 4:32Like a three hour tour. Yeah.
- 4:34Yeah. It was fun.
- 4:35We talked a lot about potatoes. We'll ask them so.
- 4:39So no, we had we had a good time.
- 4:42You know what? I don't think we talked about
- 4:44potato land at all. The talk about potatoes.
- 4:46But just know that Disneyland, which is where my shirt is, is
- 4:51based on they they like their potatoes this year for some
- 4:55reason. I don't know.
- 4:56So OK. Well, I hear potato land might
- 5:00be the hot topic for, you know, our D 23 year in just a few
- 5:03weeks could be could be most ambitious project yet or fifth
- 5:08park potato land. Potato Land.
- 5:11We'll find out. So I will say this.
- 5:15So I'm coming off of, you know, four days off in a row.
- 5:18I go back to the real world tomorrow, full, full steam
- 5:21ahead. And you know, I didn't realize I
- 5:25we sandwiched a lot of park into this.
- 5:28Yeah, I. Didn't know that would happen,
- 5:29but we did annual pass holder night over at Universal Studios
- 5:33on on Friday night. And I have to say, I praise
- 5:40Universal all the time for giving us a night and it's still
- 5:43something Disney should bring back.
- 5:45They really need to bring that back.
- 5:48But this one fell short a little bit.
- 5:49There were no, can you Can you imagine having an event like
- 5:52this? But no snacks, no specialty
- 5:55foods or snacks. It was, it was, it was a special
- 6:00T-shirt which we got and, you know, the rides were very low
- 6:04wait time. So we had the run of the park.
- 6:06So, you know, I, I, I put the spin on and I said, you know
- 6:09what, not going to complain about it.
- 6:13Foods would have been nice. But you know what, at the same
- 6:15time we got to, we had the run of the park.
- 6:18So if you said, hey, would you take 4 hours to, you know, just
- 6:20to run around the park, you know, do whatever you want with
- 6:24no wait times, I'd say of course I would.
- 6:26So that happened then of course Epcot was a lot of fun, did a
- 6:32ton of pin training and just had a lot of fun on Saturdays.
- 6:37So I want to want to Fast forward to yesterday.
- 6:39So Jacob really wanted to do RIP Ride Rocket on Friday and
- 6:46Universal closed it at 15 minutes to go before the event
- 6:53was done. Now, Disney wouldn't do this.
- 6:56They just wouldn't do it. And I think you have to call out
- 7:00Universal for that. You just this is a night for
- 7:03your guests, your pass holders who at the end when we leave,
- 7:08you all are standing at the end waving and thanking us and we
- 7:11love you. We love you.
- 7:11We love you, right? But we'll close the ride 15
- 7:14minutes before the event opens. I mean closes.
- 7:17And not for weather. Not for weather, Nope.
- 7:21So we had to go back yesterday and we had a fantastic day.
- 7:26We rode RIP Ride Rock it four times.
- 7:28Yeah, I know that's what he wanted to do.
- 7:30So I do whatever he wanted to do.
- 7:33And so good time. And they posted they meaning
- 7:38universal. They posted earlier today
- 7:43something that I just wanted to I want to bring this.
- 7:45Up because I saw that. Did you see it?
- 7:47Are you laughing because you saw it?
- 7:49I saw that, yeah. So I'll say if anybody doesn't
- 7:53know, you can hack into the song list of RIP Ride Rocket.
- 7:57It's a roller coaster that would play songs, select songs for
- 8:04you, you, you go on. You have like 5 genres to choose
- 8:07from. You click that that and it's
- 8:09like, however, there's a secret song list.
- 8:12So if you long press the logo, it come it, it, it shows a
- 8:16keypad instead. And then you can pump that
- 8:18keypad, you know, 33 numbers into the keypad.
- 8:21As long as you know them with the songs are connected to, you
- 8:26can do it. So there's two Muppet songs that
- 8:28I always do. So hey, I did Rainbow
- 8:31Connection, you know this, this crazy coaster going 65 miles an
- 8:36hour, whatever it is, listening to a nice mellow rendition of
- 8:40Kermit's, you know, Rainbow. Rainbow Connection, it's gotta
- 8:43love that it's. A real it's a real trip.
- 8:47So I say that because on on Twitter.
- 8:50X. They say Universal responded
- 8:53today and they said Rocket, it's a glorious 12 hour finale.
- 8:58Florida weather. You got a minute and 1/2, which
- 9:02is funny because what I left out was we had rain delay after rain
- 9:06delay. But.
- 9:07We we really, we really played it to our advantage.
- 9:10I looked at the weather sky wise and I'm like, this is gonna
- 9:13clear. They let us go up and wait in
- 9:16line. So we wanted the first to wait
- 9:17in line. We just waited it out and within
- 9:1920 minutes it reopened and we were on.
- 9:22We swung back around and anyway, Long story short, we were able
- 9:28to. We did it again too.
- 9:29Other rain delay, we went over, we went in and waited.
- 9:33So we were able to cycle through and actually do 4 four times.
- 9:37So nice. Think it's the most, most
- 9:40coasters I've ever ridden in a single day.
- 9:42We did 4 rides of that and two rides of Velocicoaster.
- 9:45I'll end up this Velocicoaster. We, we did it.
- 9:49I'm watching the time and I'm like, oh, if we have one minute,
- 9:53do you think we leave our stuff in the locker and then swirl
- 9:57around to the front and see if we can make it in time to be let
- 9:59in again? So we rolled the dice and we did
- 10:02it. We made it through.
- 10:03Oh. Nice goofy guy.
- 10:06If you are looking for that on yeah, you need to be subbed to.
- 10:13The Dyspod has its own channel now or my channel.
- 10:17It will not be on living in Diz. So that could be why you didn't
- 10:21see it. We are on the multi view, so you
- 10:23could be watching it there as well.
- 10:25So Speaking of the multi view, I got an the very, I want to say
- 10:30it was the very first e-mail I ever got on
- 10:32disneystreamernetwork@gmail.com, which if you have any questions
- 10:35about the network, you can always send us.
- 10:37They send me an e-mail there. I got this e-mail.
- 10:40How do we join? So I'm looking at and I'm like,
- 10:44oh, this, this is, this is a good channel.
- 10:46Let me let me reach out to them. So I reach out to Jason, got
- 10:51Jason into the streamer network and been watching a lot more of
- 10:54their stuff. And we're going to talk a lot
- 10:57about his channel and, and his work.
- 11:01And in fact, I'm, I'm just going to bring them in right now and
- 11:05they can introduce themselves and their channels.
- 11:08Gentlemen, welcome. Maybe there we go.
- 11:19Welcome, welcome. Steve's got a better background.
- 11:26It's just I like my background. But anybody that's got Star
- 11:29Wars, just just he's got. The white, the other light's not
- 11:34even on anymore. I it's on it's for some reason
- 11:38this light likes to change colors for it.
- 11:42Just oh, he's even got he's even got color changing lights.
- 11:44Come on. Goes along with his.
- 11:50Wound I made this little tiny version of this.
- 11:54And. Steve's like, oh, I gotta show
- 11:56you up, and he makes. These.
- 12:00Yeah. What is that?
- 12:00Is that 8 feet? It's two.
- 12:06No, it's two panels that are three feet long.
- 12:09OK, alright. It's a there's one it's hard to
- 12:12do on the camera here. From here down is 1 and then
- 12:16from up is another panel and then I just put them together
- 12:20so. It looks like.
- 12:21One long panel. Wow, I love it.
- 12:24I love it and all the memorabilia is awesome.
- 12:27Yeah, it's my fun stuff. Yeah, I have to start collecting
- 12:31more. I don't have enough.
- 12:33Yeah. We all started like nothing.
- 12:37We have bare walls if you go back and watch our first.
- 12:39Video. Yeah, yeah, it's funny.
- 12:42Yeah, the, I think the first episode, I think I might have
- 12:45had the stuff that's over my shoulder here.
- 12:47These, these posters of rides. I think that was it.
- 12:52I don't think there's anything else out there.
- 12:55So yeah, you start to just collect, collect stuff, right.
- 13:00So I guess Jason, why don't you, why don't you go first,
- 13:03introduce us to you and and your channel.
- 13:07All right, I'm Jason and I started Signs of Amusement what,
- 13:152 1/2 years ago, I think. And before that I had another
- 13:20channel called Interactive Realm where I did woodworking.
- 13:23I and I just wasn't so much into it.
- 13:27And I started going back to my Disney days and wanted to do a
- 13:32Disney Channel. And this guy above me here was a
- 13:35subscriber of mine on the woodworking channel.
- 13:39And we, you know, we started hanging out and we got to know
- 13:42each other, became friends. So I say I thought he's a Disney
- 13:46fan. Let's let's bring him on board.
- 13:47And I twisted his arm like literally.
- 13:51And, and he came on and he, he's actually responsible for the
- 13:55name as well, so. Really.
- 13:59So I, I couldn't think of a name and this guy just like, how
- 14:02about this? I'm like.
- 14:05Wait, perfect. Well, yeah, it was in.
- 14:06So he texted a bunch of us and yeah, I want to do this.
- 14:10Disney signs thing and it's I want to do signs of all these
- 14:15amusement parks and and the history behind the sign and
- 14:19everything. Well, it was right there in the
- 14:21text is signs and amusement parks.
- 14:25So I bought signs of amusement. It's like all right, done.
- 14:31I bought signs of amusement dot coms already.
- 14:33I've already bought it. We're done.
- 14:35Nice. Very good, very good.
- 14:40And so, so you started out woodworking and what kind of
- 14:43stuff were you were you making then?
- 14:48You know, I mean like I like everybody else.
- 14:50I think that gets in the woodworking You started doing
- 14:52like cutting boards and little coasters and I never really got
- 14:57into doing bigger things like furniture.
- 14:59But for whatever reason, I started doing National Park
- 15:03signs and eventually led to the Disney signs that I was doing
- 15:08because I got a laser. So that was like the thing that
- 15:11I think that really changed things for me.
- 15:14And I used to live in Huntington Beach, so I used to go to
- 15:17Disneyland all the time. It's like when I first had my
- 15:20annual pass and just my love for Disney started coming out and
- 15:26just out of the share with everybody.
- 15:27So that's where that's where the channel came from.
- 15:31Wow. So we'll get back to him in just
- 15:34a minute. Tell us about exposition, Steve.
- 15:39All right, yeah. It was just something fun I
- 15:44wanted to do. I saw all my friends doing it
- 15:47and and I'm like, oh, maybe I'll try something.
- 15:50And then my relatives that are in the Netherlands, they're
- 15:53like, hey, we want to see what Disneyland's like.
- 15:55We've never been. Can you show us?
- 15:58I'm like, all right, so I said, you know, I'll just make a
- 16:00channel and put up some PO VS and stuff and, and it just grew
- 16:05from there. And one day I, I watched Alex
- 16:10the historian and I was watching his channel and I, I really
- 16:13enjoyed his, the history of Disney and everything.
- 16:17And I happened to see him in the park.
- 16:19So I, you know, I said hi to him and stuff and we became, you
- 16:22know, really good friends. And that's how I knew about
- 16:26Jason was through Alex and, and it just, you know, boom from
- 16:32from knowing Alex to Jason to Chris, from LMG vids to it just
- 16:38expanded to everywhere. And it was just neat, 'cause
- 16:41it's just like one big, huge YouTube family.
- 16:45Yeah, yeah. And, and the shows that that
- 16:50that you do talking about the a big Disney family.
- 16:53I mean, the the shows on Sundays, you have quite a few
- 16:57hosts on there. How, How did how did that all
- 17:01happen? Well, I found this group on
- 17:09Facebook. It's I think it was a podcast
- 17:14asylum where people could post their podcast.
- 17:16And that's run by Barry. Barry runs Share the Magic and
- 17:22he had a Co host Jeff at the time and I was trying to get
- 17:25Barry onto our channel. He ends up sending Jeff over to
- 17:29us. Jeff became one of our hosts.
- 17:34He's no longer our host. He's still our friend, but he
- 17:37moved on to the but. But from that podcast I saw
- 17:41Disney magic Zac posting. So then I was like, oh, I'm
- 17:44going to check out his guy. And I started seeing what he did
- 17:47and we invited him to be on the show and we kept inviting them
- 17:52back here, you know, time to time.
- 17:54And then he had a discord. And on Discord was these two
- 18:00girls who run Middle Age Magic. And the three of them all
- 18:04happened to be from the UK. So we started watching all of
- 18:08them, invited them onto the channel and again, just like
- 18:11kept inviting them. We all just clicked really,
- 18:14really well. Together.
- 18:16And and then we have Lewis who was actually a customer of mine.
- 18:21I made him a sign for his uncle or dad, I can't remember.
- 18:25He was like 5 years ago, maybe more, I don't know sure on that
- 18:29one. But we always kept in contact.
- 18:31And when we started the channel, I knew, you know, he's a big
- 18:34Disney fan, he's well educated. He looks up everything and you
- 18:39can, you could try to stump him and I, you'd be hard pressed.
- 18:43So. And then Steve had another
- 18:46friend, Kenny, who is Alpha Traveller, one who kind of
- 18:51helped him convince him to come to my channel.
- 18:53Yeah. I I was too.
- 18:56Again, we just inviting him and, you know, all of a sudden we're
- 19:01just like, OK, we're, you're just part of the channel now,
- 19:03so. Nice.
- 19:04Yeah, it. Was really cool how it we just
- 19:07all gelled together really well. Well, and and I can see that so,
- 19:11so so tell us kind of what the shows you do.
- 19:13So Sunday is a trivia show, right?
- 19:16Yeah, we we do those once a month actually.
- 19:18Once a month, OK. I wish we could do more, but.
- 19:21It's, well, it's a lot of work. It is.
- 19:23It is. Yeah.
- 19:24I've I've watched some of those Sunday shows.
- 19:27I would I would fail miserably at some of that trivia.
- 19:31Is is really good so so you have those.
- 19:35We make up, yeah, we make up all the questions and everything.
- 19:38So it gets it's time consuming and stuff so.
- 19:43And and it and it's graphics on screen.
- 19:45It's not just, you know, there's, there's a lot of work
- 19:48that that you guys put into it, but I think that also a.
- 19:50Lot of work. Yeah.
- 19:53Yeah, I mean, I spent a. Few long.
- 19:58And then we. We started with the the what we
- 20:02call the ride through commentaries, using LNG vids,
- 20:06videos. Sometimes we use somebody
- 20:08else's, but we always give credit.
- 20:11But we just, you know, no one else was doing it and I don't
- 20:14still think anyone else is doing it.
- 20:15But we just wanted the not just watch a ride through, but we
- 20:19wanted to talk about the ride. We talked about history of the
- 20:21you know, whatever the conversation leads is what we
- 20:24like to say. And it does go all over the
- 20:27place, yeah. We start talking about something
- 20:28way totally different. Right, but that's really fun.
- 20:33We love having guests on. We even like some of our
- 20:37subscribers are like, oh, you have any ideas?
- 20:39Come on, bring, you know, come on the show and do it with us.
- 20:44And then we had the our podcast, which was audio for a bit, but
- 20:50we decided that we're very visual.
- 20:52So we just stopped doing audio. Just bring it to the YouTube
- 20:55now, which we call Discovered Magic podcast, but it's still
- 21:00under the science amusement channel.
- 21:03And we had interview shows and then we had our discussion
- 21:08shows, which is like open topic, whatever we wanted to talk
- 21:10about. We call that Concilium, which is
- 21:14like a round table discussion. So Friday nights we do the ride
- 21:21throughs, Saturdays we do the Concilium or an interview
- 21:26depending on what we have. And now Mondays we started our
- 21:30live builds, which is, you know, designing or building a sign or
- 21:37whatever we have that we have to do their original.
- 21:40Sometimes they work for orders for, Yeah, sometimes they're
- 21:45just for fun. Sometimes we do it.
- 21:47Just to give it away. So we'd love to give stuff away,
- 21:50yeah. Yeah, yeah, it is a lot of fun.
- 21:55So I I was just I'm distracted because of the Jiminy Cricket.
- 21:59It actually it the lighting picks it up so well that it
- 22:02looks like it's an overlay, right?
- 22:05It looks like it's like a yeah, It that's really, really cool.
- 22:08One of. The shoulder Shoulder buddies.
- 22:12Oh, OK, OK, that makes sense. Yeah, I might have to steal that
- 22:18idea. I like.
- 22:18That Yeah, right. I do like that, yeah.
- 22:23So, so of course the the main part of signs of amusement is
- 22:27these builds and the signs. And so I'm, I'm going to switch
- 22:33here views and we'll look at some of some of their work.
- 22:38Fine with all the flashing lights in my.
- 22:43Some someone, I don't know who that was, someone wanted to
- 22:46talk. So tell us, tell us about this,
- 22:50this one here. So this was actually a custom
- 22:55order. Someone wanted one.
- 22:58Obviously this is the Leaving today sign that's above the
- 23:01archway as you walk into Disneyland, someone one-on-one
- 23:06about this, the life-size. And I try to guesstimate what
- 23:11the size was. And I, I guessed it made about
- 23:1318 inches, but might be a little smaller, but that's the biggest
- 23:18one I made from that. And that's all MDF And the
- 23:24background is that orange peel texture for drywall and just
- 23:28kind of cut it down a little bit.
- 23:30Oh, OK. Yeah, it's a little.
- 23:34Tricky to do on that one, but I I've narrowed it down and made
- 23:37it a little easier and actually have build kit build kits for
- 23:40this and people want to make their own so.
- 23:43See, I have one. Yeah, I got there.
- 23:45I get. That one too.
- 23:48The one I I actually sell is is slightly bigger than those ones
- 23:52that OK that Disney gave us but. Yeah, I was very happy when when
- 23:56that when I got that one in the mail, I was like, oh.
- 23:59This is nice. That one's beautiful.
- 24:00Like I said, it's it's right here on mine.
- 24:02So, yeah, so when I saw it, when you sent me the picture, I was
- 24:05like, Oh yeah, we got to talk about that.
- 24:08Very cool. Yeah.
- 24:12For anybody doesn't know, that sign is special because when you
- 24:16enter Disneyland or Disney World and you go under the railroad
- 24:21tracks, that sign hangs right there as you enter above your
- 24:25head. And so it's a very special sign
- 24:28in case anybody, anyone wasn't familiar where that actually
- 24:31hangs. I look at that almost every
- 24:34time, right? By it.
- 24:36Yeah, yeah. I always try to try to look at
- 24:38that one. So tell us about this one.
- 24:42Yeah, so a friend of mine, Ernie, he he runs Haunted OC and
- 24:49they were coming up on their 10th anniversary and he just is
- 24:54like he just wanted the sign. And I, I just decided like I'll
- 24:57make a tombstone and I, I again use the orange peel texture to
- 25:01make it look, you know, kind of like concrete.
- 25:04It's, it's a bit overkill on, on the darkening of things, but
- 25:08it's because it was going to be shown in like, you know, dark
- 25:11time setting or whatever. I tried to make it like you
- 25:16would on for like a movie set or whatever.
- 25:18So, but yeah, it was pretty fun. I took the Dremel and I etched
- 25:23in like scratches and you know, the gouges on you can see like
- 25:27on the left side there and cracks and all that.
- 25:29It's pretty fun to make. And how long would that take you
- 25:32to make? Would you say I think this two
- 25:35weeks, obviously not like straight, but you know, here and
- 25:39there and that's all MDF and some like foam.
- 25:44What do you call it like the hard insulation foam that's in
- 25:49the middle just to kind of make it less weight.
- 25:51So yeah. Corey's favorite ride?
- 25:59My favorite ride as well. Yeah, I love that sign.
- 26:02So, so authentic. Yeah.
- 26:05So I, I happen to find Bob Gurr who designed the monorail and
- 26:15people mover and anything they say with wheels at Disneyland.
- 26:21He, he has events that you can go to.
- 26:24Sometimes they're at his house, sometimes they're just speaking
- 26:26events at different places. So I ended up going to 1 and I,
- 26:31I met him, it was cool. Went to another one and met him
- 26:36again, like sort of, you know, got to become friends.
- 26:40And this one was for his 90th birthday.
- 26:45So I made this one for them to auction off and that's why he
- 26:50signed it and then they auctioned it off and I also made
- 26:52the sky bucket sign as well for the same event.
- 26:59Very nice for that same event. That's pretty cool.
- 27:05So if anybody doesn't know, the Adventureland sign is missing
- 27:09from Disney World, so that that might be what happened.
- 27:15They had Jason just make a new one.
- 27:20I wish that was the case, but. Yeah.
- 27:25But adventure land is one of my favorite lands and I, I always
- 27:31loved the way that it was all made out.
- 27:33It looks like twigs kind of making the words up and all
- 27:37that. And I, I love the fact the
- 27:39thatching that's behind it. And I, I, I really wanted to try
- 27:42to find the thatching to do on there or laser etch it, but
- 27:45haven't gotten that far yet on there.
- 27:47It'd be like so small you wouldn't even be able to make it
- 27:50out really. But this is one of my favorite
- 27:53signs to make. And it's just, it's very
- 27:57straightforward. You know, it's just lines
- 28:00scarved in there and make it look like the separation of the
- 28:04bamboo and two different colors of wood.
- 28:08Yeah, it's got little faux weather, weather leather
- 28:13strapping for the cross stitching.
- 28:15It's pretty. Simple but.
- 28:19All laser cut. You have this on your on the
- 28:22build right? Don't you have a video of this
- 28:24on your? Build yeah, because I, I also, I
- 28:27sell these and I also sell them as kits so people can make their
- 28:30own. Oh, some of the first videos
- 28:33that I did were the build videos of me building these so people
- 28:37can look, watch me build them, so they can build themselves.
- 28:40That's a good idea. I like that idea.
- 28:43You mentioned the sky buckets. I think that's what's next.
- 28:46Yeah, Yeah. This was.
- 28:49It was pretty tricky because none of these fonts exist.
- 28:54Disney hand paints everything when they'd make the signs,
- 28:57which is cool. I totally respect people who can
- 29:00do that. I cannot.
- 29:02Especially if you're going to remake things over and over
- 29:04again. Right.
- 29:05Yeah, not going to talk about that, but I made a template and
- 29:10then from those templates I can make these.
- 29:13And this is kind of tricky because you have to apply the
- 29:17template over the other one. And sometimes I can pick up the
- 29:19other paint. It's not the funnest sign to
- 29:22make because it's actually two different colors of the red.
- 29:24You can't really tell, but it is.
- 29:26And anyway, it's, it's, it takes a lot.
- 29:30So I, I only make these on special occasions.
- 29:33So. But in fact I've only made three
- 29:36of these so far. Oh, OK.
- 29:40Wow. Yeah, And you talked about Bob
- 29:45Gurr. He tells about this one.
- 29:50So I also talked about Ernie, and Ernie is Bob's manager.
- 29:56That's a whole other story in itself how that happened.
- 29:57But because I became friends with both of them and I go to
- 30:03many of these events, I always like to pay it forward.
- 30:06And I made a couple signs for Bob that we've seen.
- 30:09And I love his podcast. And I didn't design this
- 30:15graphic, but I did design it for the laser, making the different
- 30:19layers and how the lighting is and all that and having these
- 30:24glasses all separately from there.
- 30:26And boy, this took I, I had to use a friend's laser because I
- 30:32don't have a laser that was big enough.
- 30:34And she's a fellow woodworker. She's called the Awesome Orange.
- 30:39So she was a friend back when I was doing working still is.
- 30:45And then I had my brother help me paint it and put it together
- 30:48because he had more space in his garage at the time.
- 30:51And yeah, it was just fun to make.
- 30:55It's the graphic was not like perfect.
- 31:00And I tried to put that not perfect into the sign.
- 31:03So like edges are not exactly the same on this side as it is
- 31:07on this side. You know, I wanted to keep that
- 31:09aspect of the graphic in place. And yeah, it's like I said, it's
- 31:15just fun to do. And I I gave it to Bob and he
- 31:19loves it. And I believe we have proof of
- 31:23that somewhere. We might, We might.
- 31:31You talked about. Yeah, you talked about the fact
- 31:34that if it had wheels, Bob designed it at Disneyland.
- 31:39Mr. Toad's vehicle, which is in his house and that sign that's
- 31:45on there I designed it was the first thing I made for him and
- 31:50if you know anything about Bob, I I guess when when he got hired
- 31:55they didn't have like titles so Bob kind of made his own title,
- 31:59which was director of special vehicle design.
- 32:02I believe that's what it said and I I kind of made that title
- 32:07for him on that sign and it I did it in like a people Uber S
- 32:11kind of style. So.
- 32:13That's awesome. And that's all wood.
- 32:16The the Bob's name is acrylic and then the title underneath it
- 32:22is actually vinyl lettering. Oh, OK.
- 32:30And there you are giving given the sign to Bob and see direct
- 32:35your. Special Vehicle.
- 32:38Development tell me Bob is not like look at this red cowboy hat
- 32:42and if you see any of his videos on he's big on social media,
- 32:45like much bigger than probably the four of us combined by far.
- 32:51And, and he's out there with his red sneakers and he's just one
- 32:55of the coolest people, really. I don't know the story behind
- 32:59the red sneakers. Steve actually has a funny story
- 33:02about meeting Bob with the red sneakers.
- 33:06Oh, you've met Bob also. He met.
- 33:08What's that? Steve, You met Bob.
- 33:11OK. Yeah, but tell your your your
- 33:14bus story. Yeah, so the first time I met
- 33:16Bob, we were actually just leaving Carrollwood Barn in
- 33:20Griffith Park where his tour. I they stopped there and and Bob
- 33:26shows him around Walt's barn that he has there.
- 33:30And so Bob walked out. We were walking into the car and
- 33:33Bob walks out of his of the bus and I'm like, oh, that's Bob.
- 33:37I got to go say hi to him. So I, you know, said hi to him,
- 33:39said thank you, you know, for everything you do and
- 33:41everything. And he's like, hey, how do you
- 33:43like my bus? It matches my shoes because it's
- 33:46a big, huge red bus. And that's all he cared about
- 33:50was his shoes matching. His bus, Yeah.
- 33:55This guy is just one, one of the coolest people.
- 33:58Yeah. And and, you know, I I talked
- 34:00about, you think about, you know, Disneyland is celebrating
- 34:03its 70th anniversary. Bob just turned 90.
- 34:08He's. Going to be. 9393, yeah.
- 34:13This next month I think. So do the math, folks.
- 34:17He was designing the monorail and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride and all
- 34:21these vehicles for these, you know, the people mover and all
- 34:23that in his early 20s. Yeah.
- 34:27Like, I love my son. I'm not going to ask him to do
- 34:32the monorail at 22. Just just saying yeah, and just.
- 34:38And that's funny. Too, Because I mean, just to be
- 34:43hired by Walt and and Walt, you know, he knew that none of these
- 34:47people had the correct education.
- 34:49He just knew that they knew what they were talking about.
- 34:53And Bob took, you know, design courses and whatever.
- 34:56And I think he was working for Ford at one point.
- 34:58And, you know, he's just like, yeah, I can, I can do the
- 35:03Autopia car. Sure.
- 35:04And they did it. And then they gave him something
- 35:06else. He's like, yeah, I can do that.
- 35:08That's how things worked back then, Yeah.
- 35:10Yeah, yeah. And most time he said, Oh yeah,
- 35:13I can do that knowing I have no clue.
- 35:18I'll figure it out after I get after I get the assignment.
- 35:23Yeah, he's just, he's just very cool.
- 35:26Let's see and then tell us about this.
- 35:30They said that Jason almost broke.
- 35:34Yeah, so this is Bob's podcast set.
- 35:36And you you can actually tell on this one.
- 35:39You can't tell when you're watching the video, but that
- 35:41desk is not that wide for him to sit behind that he, that desk
- 35:46makes it makes him look like like it's big, you know, When I
- 35:49sit there, I'm like, like, you know.
- 35:52Yeah. But that space between the the
- 35:55the seat and what that little bookshelf behind him.
- 35:58And when I got up, that chair went flying back and I almost
- 36:01broke his little window in the Pinocchio dawn.
- 36:03And I was like, oh, but this Skyway bucket sign is the one I
- 36:11made and a little retro TV there on the shelf is what I made and
- 36:17is how Steve there first found me on my channel.
- 36:22So. It's actually a an iPad holder
- 36:25for this. For Ernie.
- 36:26He wanted to put it in a booth to display old Disney shows and
- 36:30stuff. And it's OK wow.
- 36:34And this is this is his actual podcast set and Jason has the
- 36:39items that he's made for him in this set.
- 36:42And if you haven't seen Bob show, go back and watch some
- 36:45episodes because he's Bob's really good.
- 36:48Again, 93 and the guy just does it all.
- 36:52Yeah, no, he when, when I first met him, he was still like
- 36:55riding the bike at one point he was flying gliders.
- 37:02Like he stayed at his 90th 13. He was out there dancing.
- 37:05And I I don't mean like barely moving, like he was dancing,
- 37:09like the guy is not stopping. Love it.
- 37:14I love it. Yeah, so.
- 37:16We were, we were going to meet him and then but he was coming
- 37:19back from a cruise. So yeah, yeah.
- 37:23So he was on a cruise. So, so because of that, that
- 37:28sign that you saw earlier of the Bob Gur podcast show that Jason
- 37:37made, they had to send it to to Bob to see.
- 37:42And I'll show you that video. Hey kids, look at this beautiful
- 37:49sign with all the flashing lights in my face and monorail
- 37:53and rockets and people. Never however, Jason with signs
- 37:57of amusement. Look, he's got an amusing sign.
- 38:01Look, it's got actual flashing lights on this sign.
- 38:05Beautifully done all in different layers at least got my
- 38:09glasses even there different look at that.
- 38:12Jason did a beautiful job. People do so many nice things
- 38:16for me. I think this is absolutely top.
- 38:20So I, I just I watched that episode because you had that on
- 38:26your your show and I watched that episode.
- 38:30I was just about in tears because I, I like art and people
- 38:35that, you know, can design things and, you know, stuff I
- 38:41couldn't even imagine trying to put together.
- 38:44And to see Bob Gurr, who designed all this stuff, he's an
- 38:50absolute Disney legend. Just so taken with your work was
- 38:56just just incredible to to see. Yeah, I, I had the other video
- 39:03too, where I'm making or showing off the little TV to Ernie and
- 39:07Bob was there and that was like, that was a couple years ago.
- 39:11And that was the first thing where Bob actually like was
- 39:16talking about what I made, you know, and he was like in awe of
- 39:19the TV just like that. That like what you're describing
- 39:24was what I felt with that TV. And yes, I I felt it again with
- 39:28the sign, but it just it cause like we were saying, the peeping
- 39:32Mover was my favorite ride. So I never thought I would meet
- 39:36the guy who designed it, let alone for him to like something
- 39:39that I made. So yeah.
- 39:42Exactly. That totally made my whole
- 39:46century. You.
- 39:50Know, yeah, because that's Disney approved, you know,
- 39:53that's that's Disney approved. You did something that Disney
- 39:56would sign up on, you know, a Disney legend.
- 39:58So that's amazing. Just unbelievable, unbelievable
- 40:03work. So so you are West Coast, So
- 40:09you're Disneyland. Both of you are Disneyland,
- 40:13right? OK, so I'm, I'm, I'm going to
- 40:18put them on the spot. Who has the better Haunted
- 40:21Mansion? Disneyland.
- 40:24Well, we do. Well, you don't even have.
- 40:29One right now ghost host is in the right spot or not ghost what
- 40:33is? The name the the the hat box.
- 40:35Yeah, Hat box is in the right spot.
- 40:37Yeah, yeah. But it's, I mean, it's the
- 40:39original, right? The our elevator has a function.

- 41:06to it. Yeah.
- 41:09Yeah. So how often do you get to

- 41:36girls went to Disneyland in May Zach just got back I I met up
- 41:41with him then as well. And.
- 41:45And now Steve and the 2 girls are going back to Disneyland

- 42:04And if there's something happening, you know, I mean, he,
- 42:08he was just at this, you know, all kinds of social media stuff.
- 42:12Yeah. Is that actually the last our
- 42:14guest was that last week or two weeks ago was from the Walt
- 42:19Disney World birthplace. And Bob is supposed to be at
- 42:23that that event. They're doing a charity event,
- 42:26so he's supposed to be there. So I think that's next weekend,
- 42:30yeah. Yeah, he is like way more busier
- 42:34than when I first met him. Even so, it's.
- 42:37Absolutely amazing. I love it.
- 42:39I love it so. I'm like that at 93.
- 42:43I really. Yeah, really.
- 42:45How do? I make it to 90.
- 42:47Three, I was going to say I can only hope to be that active when
- 42:50I'm 63. So, so so how long are you going
- 42:58to Disney World for? I think we're going well, we're
- 43:03going for a week, but I think I'm there for four days.
- 43:06OK, it should be the. Twenty 20th through the 24th, I
- 43:12believe. Well, hopefully it lines up that
- 43:15the car is in the parks those days, two of those days, and you
- 43:20can get to meet him. Yeah, 'cause he's typically one
- 43:23Wednesday, Saturday we're. Going to do Not so not so scary
- 43:27on the 23rd I believe. Very nice, very nice.
- 43:35Have you watched any of the the Halloween party?
- 43:40I've watched some of it here and there but I'm trying to not
- 43:43watch a lot of it. Watched.
- 43:44Anything well. We did go over a lot of the food
- 43:47items the last couple of videos, so.
- 43:51Yes, yes. There's there's an easy way to
- 43:55there's There's no potatoes with hot dogs, though.
- 43:57We, we don't. We have two, we have two hot
- 44:00dogs, but that was it. But no potatoes.
- 44:04But is the potato? Is the hot dog in the potato?
- 44:10No. Or a hot dog borrowed into a bun
- 44:13yesterday, a foot long. I had a double take.
- 44:16Some ladies walking, walking around with it.
- 44:18So picture an entire foot long bun.
- 44:21But it's like they borrowed out. They drilled a hole, you know,
- 44:25so they could fit the hot dog. Inside.
- 44:27Oh, OK. That was over at Universal.
- 44:32Oh, that's funny. Wow.
- 44:34Yeah, OK, so so you know, those of us on the left side of the
- 44:42screen have not been to Disney Disneyland.
- 44:45So don't worry that you've only been to Disney World once
- 44:47because we've been to Disneyland 0 times.
- 44:49Oh wow. But we're we're going to change
- 44:52that but. That all changes Disney World.
- 44:54Yeah. Oh yeah, that all changes this
- 44:57June. This June will be over there.
- 45:00Yeah. For the first time, yes.
- 45:03So. Maybe we can join you over there
- 45:04as well. Yeah, yeah, that would, that
- 45:07would be cool. That would be cool.
- 45:09So what's coming up on on your your night?
- 45:12Actually, you're going you're, you're doing a show right after.
- 45:15This is your show. Yeah, 'cause it's Monday night.
- 45:18So I've been doing from start to from very start on the graphic
- 45:25all the way to building a sign. I'm still in the middle of,
- 45:29well, almost at the end of designing the graphic of the
- 45:31Golden Horseshoe. So I guess tonight will be part
- 45:35five, I think is what we're on. Well, I, I am somewhat involved
- 45:45in that because he needed a picture of the Golden Horseshoe.
- 45:49So I reached out to our friends in the Disney Streamer Network
- 45:52and I was like, hey, he needs a up close picture of the sign of
- 45:56the Golden Horseshoe. If anybody's in the parks, can
- 45:58you send him one? And then he was like, no, I need
- 46:00Disneyland. I was like, oh, never mind.
- 46:04I almost sent him the wrong the wrong picture.
- 46:08I went again when I went to meet up with Zach, I I got the photos
- 46:13I needed. So, you know, East Coast brain?
- 46:17Yeah, East Coast, Brain immediately thought.
- 46:20Oh yeah, Magic Kingdom. I mean, there's you would have
- 46:23been over in Disneyland. I mean.
- 46:25Yeah, yeah. So you can take.
- 46:28A picture in June for him. Yes, Yeah, I'll take a picture
- 46:31in June. Yeah, just just leave it sitting
- 46:34in in the garage as it is until I I get that picture for you.
- 46:39So so you mentioned that your favorite rides people mover.
- 46:43How about you, Steve? The.
- 46:45Same. Same.
- 46:46People Mover if Well, now that People Mover is not there
- 46:49anymore, it's Haunted Mansion. But it is.
- 46:52Always first people mover. OK.
- 46:55Yeah. I mean I I would say that my go
- 46:57to is probably Big Thunder at this point.
- 47:01OK. I'm I'm pretty equal between
- 47:03Pirates and Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder so.
- 47:07And and so both of you mentioned rides that are in Disneyland,
- 47:13does California Adventure just not get like does anybody say my
- 47:18favorite ride is and it's a ride over there?
- 47:22Well I I mean I think in credit coaster is awesome.
- 47:28I also like Radiator Springs Racers.
- 47:31That, yeah. In fact, I like that better than
- 47:32test track, although I haven't been on the new.
- 47:35Version of the new one. I mean, there's not much else
- 47:41out there really. Maybe when Avatar comes we'll
- 47:45see. But you know, Midway Mania is
- 47:48pretty cool over there too. So with DCA, it's for me
- 47:54personally, I'm not a big fan of DC, but I do love Cars Land and
- 47:59I love Pixar Pier or the Pixar area at night, at night.
- 48:04It's amazing, OK. But during the day it's it's
- 48:09there, so. So for someone that.
- 48:14Just camp is what's right. Go ahead.
- 48:17I was to say for for someone like Lawrence and I who are
- 48:19going for the first time, we want to feel like we're not
- 48:24rushed. We want to take our time and
- 48:25really soak it all in for the first time.
- 48:27So in my mind, I felt like 4 days was needed.
- 48:31But it kind of sounds like from what you guys are saying is it
- 48:34is 3, Is 3 days enough to feel that way?
- 48:36Like you've seen everything, you kind of kind of chilled out a
- 48:39little bit, took your time going from one thing to the next.
- 48:42Or would you suggest more of like 4 days?
- 48:45I would do the four days just because you're being, you're
- 48:49going to go to the original park and you want to soak all that in
- 48:54and you know, DCA is fine. It's well, actually Sammy, one
- 49:00of the Co hosts of middle-aged magic, she actually loves DCA.
- 49:06And so it's a little different because it's not, how do I
- 49:10explain that? It's not the same, I guess magic
- 49:13you call it. It's so it's, you know, but to
- 49:18experience everything, I I would definitely do a four day thing.
- 49:23Universe is totally different. That's more like one day.
- 49:27Oh. Yeah.
- 49:29For starters, Disneyland actually has more rides than
- 49:33Magic Kingdom, even though it's a smaller footprint.
- 49:37You'll want to do a day there, and you could do a day in DCA,
- 49:41maybe you do some Downtown Disney, whatever.
- 49:45But there's obviously going to be other days where you're going
- 49:48to want to ride things over again.
- 49:51So I would suggest that at least one of your days should be a
- 49:54Park Harbor. Yeah.
- 49:59We, we, we certainly have to have to look into that because I
- 50:04want to get there for the for the 70th, Although I mean with
- 50:08what they're doing for the 70th, like 75 is right around the
- 50:10corner. And so they're going to have to
- 50:14be even bigger than what they did for the 70th or what they
- 50:17did for Disney World's 50th because that we just blew that
- 50:21out of the water, didn't we? That was just the, the most
- 50:23amazing party ever. That that was the most watered
- 50:28down thing is, you know, you got enchantment, which I I like, but
- 50:33outside of that in merch there wasn't much.
- 50:36Yeah, they they don't do as much as you think that they should.
- 50:39You know, I don't get it. Yeah, I think they miss a lot in
- 50:43that too. I they, they, the marketing
- 50:46team, they miss a lot of opportunities, especially with
- 50:50the 70th. You know, they, there's so many
- 50:53things they could have done. And then instead we get, jeez, I
- 50:58don't know, things are a lot of people just it's OK.
- 51:02It's nothing spectacular and nothing like the IT seemed like
- 51:06the 60th and the 50th had way more stuff than the 70th.
- 51:12I was trying to think something. Redesigned the whole castle with
- 51:16the diamond roof or whatever. Yeah, yeah.
- 51:21Which ruined the roof, but you know, yeah.
- 51:24Wow, wow. Yeah, they would.
- 51:26Maybe. That'll repair right after that,
- 51:28but. Well, that, that's like our
- 51:32Epcot lights, you know, in the, in the ground, you know, they,
- 51:36it was beautiful for the two weeks that it worked.
- 51:40And now they're still trying to figure out how to how to make
- 51:43them work. So.
- 51:47But yeah, that's like the so the Epcot 40th right there, which is
- 51:51actually where Corey and I met in person for the first time.
- 51:58Outside of that, it really wasn't anything special.
- 52:01It was meeting us meeting for the first time and that giveaway
- 52:05that was that was about it. Yeah, a little bit of merch and
- 52:08that's it. It's like they.
- 52:10Throw a little merch at you and and that's it, you know?
- 52:14Yeah, so hopefully, you know, I mean Epcot's 50th, maybe we'll
- 52:18see something something bigger, but I would think the 75th of of
- 52:24Disneyland, they've they've got to do something much.
- 52:26Bigger. Better, yeah.
- 52:28Yeah, well, hopefully they have better colored chewing as well.
- 52:32The whole pink and blue. Yeah.
- 52:35Line thing, whatever you want to call it a little weird.
- 52:40The fact that the Star Wars night for that this year is kind
- 52:44of on the similar graphic level, you know, it's like weird
- 52:48rainbow lines for whatever reason.
- 52:51Interesting. I know that you get to you have
- 52:56paint the Night, which I love that parade.
- 53:00So many people were like we should have got something like
- 53:03that here. I said, no, it doesn't make it
- 53:05doesn't fit the theme of Magic Kingdom to me.
- 53:08It certainly fits. You know, California, I don't
- 53:11think it fits our theme. Also, that means that we have
- 53:16two different parades, right? You get one over there, you get
- 53:18one over here, you get to see them both.
- 53:22But over there the parade goes away for the holidays.
- 53:30Now, to me that seems odd. Like ours.
- 53:33We we will lose Paint the night or we'll lose Starlight for the
- 53:38Halloween parties and the Christmas parties, but you guys
- 53:41lose the parade for the entire holiday season over there did
- 53:46are people like, you know, figure it out.
- 53:49Give me that parade. Or is it just it is what it is.
- 53:54I, I, I think it's, it, they're so used to it.
- 53:57It's it, you know, 'cause we had that special Christmas parade
- 54:01and it seems like everybody's looking forward to having that
- 54:05during the holidays. That and that runs every.
- 54:08That'll run every night. I believe so, yeah.
- 54:12It's actually during the day too.
- 54:14OK. OK.
- 54:15So that makes sense then? Yeah, yeah.
- 54:18I, I think we're just more of what they call the locals park
- 54:22locals. So it's the locals park having
- 54:25the Haunted Mansion overlay, you know, the lights on small world.
- 54:35Those are things that people look forward to every year,
- 54:38parades like people come for those.
- 54:41So yeah, it's just a whole different kind of ball game, I
- 54:44guess. Yeah, yeah, that makes sense.
- 54:46That makes sense. So again, signs of amusement
- 54:51will be live tonight doing Part 5, you said.
- 54:56Yeah, the build and in in an hour actually.
- 54:59So, yeah, so make sure to to check them out any of the big
- 55:06projects that you're thinking of of doing that you have.
- 55:13I mean, we have stuff that we have in the works that we want
- 55:16to do for these live builds. Like I, I mean, nothing's
- 55:22totally crazy or anything, but I think the next sign I might do
- 55:25is Big Thunder Mountain after this.
- 55:28But there might be some things here and there that we don't
- 55:31even know of right now. That we know we're.
- 55:33On the fly. But my big thing is I have a 4
- 55:39by 8 foot laser sitting here in boxes that I need to put
- 55:43together and then I'll be able to do some large wall art kind
- 55:48of pieces. And I'm looking forward to that
- 55:50because I might mix in some kind of Disney stuff and do like one
- 55:53off things here and there. So that might make it onto the
- 55:57channel for doing those designs. We'll see.
- 56:01Very cool, very cool. And of course, he's part of the
- 56:04Disney streamer Network. So you could have his show up
- 56:07listening to his show and have all the other folks in the
- 56:10background running and, you know, check out signs of
- 56:14amusement and expedition. Steve, let's, let's get the
- 56:17let's get these gentlemen up to to 1000 Subs.
- 56:21Where? Where are you now?
- 56:24We are at 590. OK.
- 56:27And we are, since we mentioned it, we are doing a giveaway for
- 56:32this guy right here. This is Rocket Raccoon.
- 56:36He is about 3 feet tall. He is a vinyl figure, I guess
- 56:40they call it left side figure. And he's currently, depending on
- 56:45how you find him on eBay, he could be worth between 1500 to
- 56:48$3000. It's not what I paid for.
- 56:51But. Wow.
- 56:52If we make it to 1000, I am giving him away to one of our
- 56:56subscribers. That's pretty cool.
- 57:00That's pretty cool. So yeah, make sure to to check
- 57:03them out. Roderick had the link in there.
- 57:06Roderick or one of the mods, if he can drop that link in there,
- 57:08then I appreciate that. It's great having these guys on.
- 57:14Certainly want to have have you on again.
- 57:17We had we had a ball the the first night that we were on, we
- 57:23were doing yeah, yeah. First night we all met and you
- 57:29know, I I think I had told the guys that that we were on with
- 57:33that we basically like I felt like we took over their show.
- 57:37You know, we were just with. The Park Pirates.
- 57:42Yeah, yeah, amusement park pirates.
- 57:44Me and Steve have been on them quite a few times and we've
- 57:47actually met a few guests that he had and we brought them on,
- 57:50you know, to our channel. Nice.
- 57:52So we've made some friends from over there as well, you know?
- 57:56Very nice. Very nice.
- 57:57Yeah. That was that was we we covered
- 57:59all the Halloween stuff and apparently Disney got a sale on
- 58:04potatoes. That's all I'm saying.
- 58:05Every meal there would be potatoes and not French fries,
- 58:08right? You would expect French fries,
- 58:10right? Theme park No.
- 58:12Potato and hot dogs. I don't understand when did this
- 58:15become a thing? I guess I got to go deliver the
- 58:17potatoes. Yeah, exactly, exactly.
- 58:22So no, we appreciate you being on and certainly look forward to
- 58:29to having you on again. And you know, talking Disneyland
- 58:33and Disney World. And like you said, you go to
- 58:37Disney World next month, make sure to let us know and see if
- 58:41you meet up, meet up with Corey. Yeah, and you know, we plan to
- 58:45do some live streams from there as well.
- 58:48Have to work out with how our signals go I I know Wi-Fi is
- 58:53probably not the best like it is a Disneyland so just.
- 58:56Just reach out to Corey or put it in our discord.
- 59:00We'll we'll have all the. Yeah.
- 59:03All the hotspots. You'll get a lot of you'll get a
- 59:05lot of help there. I mean, I get the map in my head
- 59:08to everywhere, just about everywhere.
- 59:11I mean, even to the point where I had no cameras with me
- 59:14yesterday and my son and I were exiting Islands of Adventure
- 59:19over here, which is the second Universal Park.
- 59:22And as we were walking out, Lawrence Trigger went off in my
- 59:25brain and said, oh, we're going to lag right here.
- 59:27I'm like, oh shoot, no, we're not.
- 59:30Not Even so. Not even live?
- 59:34Yeah, it's just not even live. You have a camera.
- 59:37That's too funny. Yeah.
- 59:38What he, you know, he's in the parks and I'm producing his live
- 59:42stream from here and he'll say, all right, just stay with us.
- 59:48There's going to be a little lag as soon as he says that.
- 59:50That's where it lacks. Like, he he knows it.
- 59:53He knows. Nice.
- 59:54So yeah, Yeah, Yeah. You.
- 59:57Can almost quiz me. Yeah, you can probably quiz me,
- 59:59Lawrence. Like arise and back to.
- 1:00:01That where does it where does it happen?
- 1:00:03What do you have to be on Wi-Fi or do you have to be on, you
- 1:00:06know, cellular? It's a whole thing, It's.
- 1:00:08A whole thing. It's the whole thing.
- 1:00:10Hopefully Disneyland is not like that when we go, 'cause we're
- 1:00:14obviously we don't even know the park.
- 1:00:15So yeah. I know, I know it's.
- 1:00:20Just yeah, it's just best to not get on their Wi-Fi at all.
- 1:00:24Yeah. Oh, OK, OK, yeah.
- 1:00:28We just make sure you have a unlimited data plan and you
- 1:00:31could. Yeah, Yeah, Unlimited, Our
- 1:00:33unlimited is good to go. We use AT&T, so I don't know how
- 1:00:36good AT&T is out there. I'll just say I'm sorry.
- 1:00:39Oh, no, no, I, I had it honestly.
- 1:00:45I, I, I'm on Mint Mobile now, which is using T-Mobile network,
- 1:00:50but I, I was on AT&T before and I was on the Wi-Fi live
- 1:00:55streaming from the monorail and it cut off.
- 1:00:58And then I turned on my AT&T data and it was fine.
- 1:01:02Oh, OK, OK. Well, again, we we have good
- 1:01:07friends in the network that are in the Disney streamer network
- 1:01:10that are that are out there. So theme park casual and Barry
- 1:01:15plays Christy Peach Disney amusement park pirates so.
- 1:01:19I've taken live streams. I have top the mountains in
- 1:01:23places like Hawaii, like I don't care where I take it.
- 1:01:25I just go for it and we'll see what happens.
- 1:01:29What a what a what a day that was.
- 1:01:30If anybody doesn't know that story, we attempted to pretty
- 1:01:35much be live every day in Hawaii, went to Disney's Aulani
- 1:01:38and we we took our our audience, our community on tours every day
- 1:01:43to the point where they loved the car ride too.
- 1:01:45So we will live on our way there, live on our way back.
- 1:01:48I swear those must have been 7-8 hours streams.
- 1:01:52But yeah, I'm trying to think of what, what, what rock we climbed
- 1:01:59that day. It's just not coming to me.
- 1:02:00But we we started to take it up and we started to lose signal
- 1:02:05through the woods. But as soon as we came out of
- 1:02:07the clearing, it was beautiful. And we spent some time up there
- 1:02:11and you could see Pearl Harbor in the distance and really neat.
- 1:02:16But the funny part of it was as we started going down, I'm
- 1:02:20looking at my battery and I say, oh, OK, I gotta, I gotta go get
- 1:02:24on the battery now like we normally do, looking for my
- 1:02:26battery. Can't find my battery, no
- 1:02:29battery. And I'm like, Oh my, if we want
- 1:02:31to keep this thing going, I've got to make it down to the car,
- 1:02:34which is how far down I ran. I ran down that mountain and
- 1:02:41steps in probably pretty dangerous areas to get down
- 1:02:46there in time and got to the car, open the door, grab the
- 1:02:49wire, grab the battery. And as soon as I plugged it into
- 1:02:51the phone, it died. Yeah, but I think we were able
- 1:02:58to bring it back. But oh, I'll never forget that.
- 1:03:01Oh, that's funny what we do for live.
- 1:03:02Streaming. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:03:07It's funny. Yeah.
- 1:03:07I was in. I was here in Raleigh doing a
- 1:03:10parade on Saturday and, you know, not going to a park.
- 1:03:17I don't have my I, I just didn't think right.
- 1:03:19I didn't pack my bag. I had no wires with me.
- 1:03:22I had no backup battery. I had nothing.
- 1:03:25I was just out there with my gimbal and the phone.
- 1:03:28And I'm starting to watch the parade and it it's, you know,
- 1:03:31people complain about our parade and there's, there's too much of
- 1:03:34a gap. I don't know if people do the
- 1:03:35same thing with Paint the Night, but there's there's a gap
- 1:03:37between the sections and these were like huge gaps, like 10
- 1:03:41minutes between these. Yeah, because they were, they
- 1:03:45were bands. Yeah, yeah, exactly.
- 1:03:50But they're, they're called bands, but they're not really
- 1:03:52not performing bands. And so the music is really loud.
- 1:03:56And so there's these huge breaks in between them.
- 1:03:59So I'm looking at my battery and I'm like, is this going to make
- 1:04:02it? Is this going to make it so.
- 1:04:04But we, we made it. I think it only went down to
- 1:04:06like 61%, but. Well, it gets stressful.
- 1:04:09It gets stressful when you start watching that battery go down.
- 1:04:13We got we got a gimbal that's just reached its peak and it's
- 1:04:17not even making it through a whole live stream now.
- 1:04:19And if I don't catch it in time, it's just dying on us.
- 1:04:22And it died 2 streams in a row, now 2 Saturdays in a row.
- 1:04:27And yet I'm sitting here being a producer and I have two gimbals
- 1:04:32over here. You have two hohems, You don't
- 1:04:36have two hohems. I have two Hohems.
- 1:04:39I actually have. I actually have three.
- 1:04:41I have two Hohems and I have a Mosa.
- 1:04:46Oh, yeah, yeah. I have like three other gimbals.
- 1:04:49But actually we're we're probably gonna lend those out to
- 1:04:52Jacob's film class because some of the students are thinking to
- 1:04:56break up in groups and do some films.
- 1:04:58And I'm like, just let him use some of our.
- 1:05:00The teacher was very impressed when he started talking about
- 1:05:03what he had at home. So you should have brought me a
- 1:05:07hoem. I'll buy one off you.
- 1:05:09Why do you don't need? I don't need to.
- 1:05:12I hardly need one. But yeah, so so yeah, again,
- 1:05:19Jason, Steve have a show coming up in about an hour, a little
- 1:05:24less than an hour. We are live Saturday, no
- 1:05:31Wednesday from Magic on living in this channel.
- 1:05:37I'll have a post show for you Saturday.
- 1:05:40We are at where we. At We Are at Animal Kingdom, we
- 1:05:44are park hopping in from a channel that never park hopped.
- 1:05:47We're park hopping all the time now.
- 1:05:49Yeah, so we're going to park. We're going to start at Animal
- 1:05:51Kingdom. We hear that that's some of the
- 1:05:53best pin trading that you can do.
- 1:05:55So we'll do some pin trading, some Wheeling and dealing.
- 1:05:58We'll try to get on Flight of Passage, Everest, of course, the
- 1:06:02the safari will take everything the park can give us and see
- 1:06:06what we can find for maybe some snacks over there.
- 1:06:08Do The Lion King show. We'll try to get all that in and
- 1:06:11then we'll jump over to Magic Kingdom for Starlight and
- 1:06:14whatever else we can get our eyes on and probably get fill up
- 1:06:17on some Starlight popcorn. It's it might be time.
- 1:06:20Once again, no one has filled. I bet no one has filled up on
- 1:06:25has had as many orders of Starlight popcorn on separate
- 1:06:28days than me. This will be order number 4.
- 1:06:31Do they have do they have custom popcorn over there at
- 1:06:35Disneyland? So you.
- 1:06:38So you can go in right, and there's like 3 or 4 different
- 1:06:42choices of popcorn and then you can throw in, you know, whatever
- 1:06:45treats you want, Oreos and then. Probably Downtown Disney.
- 1:06:50Yeah, I mean there's like the shops where you can buy
- 1:06:52different ones, but the the actual like.
- 1:06:56To modify stuff, whatever you know.
- 1:06:57Yeah, yeah, they get right you can.
- 1:07:01Listen, you, you guys need to tune in Saturday night or is it
- 1:07:05Wednesday or Saturday? Oh no, you're park hopping on
- 1:07:08Saturday. So probably popcorn Saturday.
- 1:07:10Yeah, we might make one on Saturday.
- 1:07:11Yeah, at the end of the evening, we usually go into the the the
- 1:07:14confectionery and I put AI do an overhead shot while they make
- 1:07:20this popcorn and we just layer the chocolate drizzle and you
- 1:07:24know, we just go. Out there, it's ridiculous.
- 1:07:26Marshmallows. Cookie crumbles.
- 1:07:28Skittles. I have.
- 1:07:30I have perfect. Oh well, you got to let it go
- 1:07:34home and harden up. There's a whole system I've got
- 1:07:37a whole system I should probably put it on social media.
- 1:07:41It's a whole system I got it down to AT now.
- 1:07:43So what you have to do, it looks like you're putting a lot of
- 1:07:45chocolate, like we're layering it like you can't even see the
- 1:07:48popcorn. And then they put in a layer of
- 1:07:49popcorn. Then I say keep going, keep
- 1:07:51going, keep going. And what happens is when you
- 1:07:55break, I, I take it home next day, I break it up with my hands
- 1:07:58and I put it in a, in a airtight container so it'll stay fresh
- 1:08:02longer because normally it takes me weeks to finish something,
- 1:08:05but I'm finishing these in days. But I found as you start to eat
- 1:08:11it as, as it all, as the popcorn falls to the bottom, probably
- 1:08:15when you're halfway through, you don't have that much chocolate
- 1:08:17left. So I say overdo the chocolate
- 1:08:20and you'll have, you know, ratio.
- 1:08:23Popcorn per chocolate works out better if you overdo it.
- 1:08:30Yeah, you got. To have your own special.
- 1:08:34Yeah, and, and I'm not a yeah, I'm, I'm really not AI don't
- 1:08:41like different textures and stuff like that.
- 1:08:43So popcorn I eat. And then I was there for New
- 1:08:48Year's and my two brothers and my son were with me and I was
- 1:08:52like, guys, we got to try this popcorn.
- 1:08:54I I just, it's chocolate, right? I'm a chocoholic.
- 1:08:57I got to have this Corey goes crazy for the stuff.
- 1:09:01Let's let's make. So we get back to the we had a
- 1:09:04verbo we get back and that popcorn was gone in like 3 days.
- 1:09:12And so our last day at that trip, we went back to magic and
- 1:09:16I had to go home with two of two of the popcorns.
- 1:09:19So. And he calls us the LW special
- 1:09:23and my wife loves that, so she's got to go get the LW special
- 1:09:28every day. The, the funny part is I was
- 1:09:30there in July or April. I can't remember what trip it
- 1:09:34was, but I was with Corey, but I was still in the store.
- 1:09:38They had already gotten to the popcorn.
- 1:09:40And he, he, he says, yeah, we need one of the LW special
- 1:09:45because there's a cast member who she doesn't know the whole
- 1:09:47recipe, but she knows about the LW special.
- 1:09:51And he goes, and that's LW right there.
- 1:09:53And she was like, Oh my God, It's like I yeah, everybody
- 1:09:59else, all the other guests were like, what's going on?
- 1:10:04It's nothing. It's nothing.
- 1:10:06So, well, when you get to Disneyland, you're going to have
- 1:10:08to get the cheesy garlic pretzel bread.
- 1:10:11That's. Oh, that sounds.
- 1:10:13Really good. It, it is really good.
- 1:10:16OK. I think when we were there in
- 1:10:19May, I think we had like 5 or six of those things.
- 1:10:26All right, I'll keep keep that in mind.
- 1:10:28That does sound good, the. Process version has a so good

- 1:11:25Why do we get rid of the peanut butter and Jelly wings?
- 1:11:28I don't know. That's my stance on that.

- 1:11:45we do in Disney. Anyone that live streams, I
- 1:11:49just, there's no one, I just know it, there's no one that
- 1:11:51eats as much as me do. So definitely, if you're into

- 1:12:07Illuminance. We.
- 1:12:09So there's a place called Regal Eagle over there in Epcot, in,
- 1:12:11in America. And it has some of the arguably
- 1:12:14the best barbecue on Walt Disney World property.
- 1:12:17And so I got the, the, the pork, the, the, the shredded pork or
- 1:12:23whatever that my wife and I always get came with some
- 1:12:26cornbread and a side. So we did a bigger side of fries
- 1:12:31'cause they put some beer cheese on them.
- 1:12:34So we wanted to try those. And so we had ice I, I grabbed a
- 1:12:38side of beans as well and side of Mac and cheese.
- 1:12:42And we got the s'mores dessert and the banana pudding dessert.
- 1:12:46So yeah, I got halfway through that.

- 1:13:03What did she say? She said to them, oh, can I get
- 1:13:06some beans, 'cause I, I guess she decided we should just get
- 1:13:09dad some beans. And they didn't even charge her
- 1:13:10for them. They just said, here, take a,
