welcome to Geeks corner I'm Mr daps I'm Katie and we're so excited that here on a cooler but not Rainy Night in
5:33
Southern California I know it rained for like a glorious day one day it was very
5:38
rainy in fact it was so rainy actually I don't have a good joke for that but no no continue how rainy
5:45
was it I how rainy was it I'll show you
6:07
for
6:38
that's how rainy it was he's somebody's really upset tonight guys apparently he did not like the rain
6:44
even though he does love the rain Hees the rain what should people do Katie uh you should go into the chat um and you
6:52
should tell us who your favorite Muppet is and why Mr DBS who is your favorite Muppet I like Kermit
6:59
I know it's not not super shock my Kermit this my Kermit not super shocking
7:06
Kermit but yes um who's your favorite uh
7:11
I always go back to Beaker that does not surprise me what what is that supposed to mean you just always have a thing for
7:18
Beaker like that's the one you you uh cuz we're both like anxiety ridden
7:23
little freaks okay that like unfortunate things happen too okay you know yeah you
7:31
know and it happens is Beaker on this shirt no beaker's not on this shirt and
7:38
I see uh Roger likes fuzzy Camila's on this
7:44
shirt it's Piggy and Kermit and fuzzy and yeah there isn't that's kind of
7:49
weird Camila I'm sorry that's really weird well that makes sense cuz Gonzo
7:55
scooter okay and then Dr tthy larham that's an interesting choice no I guess
8:02
that makes sense though it's the MPP movie and it's they're kind of the central characters that that makes a little bit sense yeah I still just think
8:08
it's really random that Camila ends up on a shirt but good for her good for her good for Camila chickens need more
8:15
love I think she gets enough from Gonzo I don't know but uh anyway it was raining on
8:23
Sunday at Disneyland we had a blast going and enjoying it checking it out all of that fun Jazz we which means we
8:30
stumbled across Ahsoka Tano M Day celebration I I don't know exactly what
8:35
it is well today is Ahsoka because that's what I'm getting at is today is Ahsoka Tano day and they celebrated it
8:41
in Florida on Saturday and then Sunday night was at Disneyland in the rain
8:46
which was super cool for the reflection of all of those lightsabers on the ground with with the water what say for
8:54
those of us who may not know the cartoons as well what is a sokano day well that's the day that she first
9:01
appeared in the Clone Wars in 2008 okay so it's like her screen debut yeah it's her screen debut okay which is
9:07
interesting I guess it kind of makes sense like you might as well it's a fan holiday so whatever when I posted the
9:13
video of it uh somebody's like we need more uh was it we we we need more Jedi holidays or something like that I was
9:20
like yeah I'm cool with that um I kind of wish that they did more
9:26
like I hate to say this but I wish they marketed it more like make it a real
9:31
thing instead of just I mean kind of I I agree I guess to the point where it's
9:37
like wouldn't it be great if there was a pin yeah I just also like Grassroots uh
9:42
fan celebrations um yeah I mean I I kind of go both ways I think there's something
9:48
to be said yeah um as you saw we did a daps mosphere that uh is the Haunted
9:54
Mansion queue which was quite a bit uh longer than what you saw beautiful it's nice it's very I love it if people want
10:01
I'm going to Loop it so it's like really long kind of like I did for that Epcot opening uh or uh classic music day thing
10:10
um but yeah we'll see how that goes and then the best part about rainy days at Disneyland is you get the rainy day
10:16
cavalcade MH which it'll be gone and like you blink and it's gone but it's
10:21
one of my favorite things on the planet so we got to see that on Sunday as well and I like the music for the rainy day
10:27
Cade yeah I kind of like the older music better like the the the current one's
10:32
fun but they've gone through different iterations of rainy day cavalcade Through The Years um because I always
10:38
liked when they did the uh the celebrate the magic song like
10:43
that one was always fun whatever um although to me one of the
10:49
most iconic cavalcade songs M that exists at the Disneyland Resort right
10:55
now is the Halloween cavalcade
11:00
song which one's that uh cause this is Disney's house oh yeah yeah
11:07
okay yeah yeah that one gets stuck in your head I mean so do the like once I watch
11:13
the rainy day cavalcade boom it's in my head it'll be in my head all day uh I just think like you know what would be
11:19
really good for the rainy day cavalcade The Rain Song from Winnie the Pooh oh I was actually thinking like making an
11:26
updated like it's in Florida is no I think so so I mean Florida also gets
11:31
like rain coats and rain boots and like they have a whole rain contingency obviously cuz it's
11:37
Florida but yeah uh no I was actually thinking that uh when we were talking
11:43
about the music was the rain rain rain came down down down yeah would be an excellent you could put that into a
11:49
Cowal Kate easy you could put that and you could do what they did with World of Color and like mix it with um Nemo no um
11:59
the drip drop song from Bambi yeah the little rain I don't remember the name or
12:05
how the I have not seen Bambi in Forever um and I had that thought of like oh we
12:11
should watch it and I'm like no I don't really want to watch it like it's one of those those movies that you see at once
12:16
and you're like oh that was fun and I don't even know I've watched Bambi all the way through because I also haven't
12:22
seen Dumbo all the way through because I love
12:27
because what is my thing even if they're fictional I don't do sad animals oh yeah
12:35
and Dumbo is the king I literally I know that it's just the beginning is like the
12:40
really really sad part of Dumbo I watch no most of the movie sad like like if
12:46
you think about it like it's what 64 minutes long I think and probably the first 58
12:55
minutes is Dumbo sad like he gets his one happy moment at the end but that's
13:00
why I it is not a happy movie for him um it's why I didn't like the um liveaction
13:08
dumbo like I still that one's even worse I've been on this rant on this show before I'm going to do it again I cannot
13:16
think about the live action Dumbo for more than like 50 seconds without wanting to cry I
13:25
have the making of book I don't want to see it because Dumbo on that little pedestal and he has clown makeup on and
13:32
he's sad because they're making fun of him which is straight from the movie like The Animated I know but he's real
13:39
and I he's not real obviously no I I didn't think yeah but I I had issues with that movie I
13:46
cried um one time this is just an an I'm amazed they still made
13:51
liveaction remakes of animated films after that one yeah still on that one
13:56
that one that one surprised me but but one time geek's Corner ended I sat on
14:03
the set I saw a little comic on my phone it was comic it was animated it was
14:09
pretend about a kitty cat that I can't even say this but a kitty cat that was sad because it didn't have a home I
14:16
cried for 45 minutes and I'm not kidding I legitimately cried for 45 minutes I
14:23
can't do sad animals I can't I won't it makes me too sad don't ever get her
14:29
Garfield calendar anybody okay Garfield's comically sad cuz he wants a lasagna okay okay he's he's comic like
14:37
Garfield is funny because he is in the position of power over John he said John get me a lasagna he's like
14:45
surrounded lasagna does sound good he's surrounded by incompetence he hates Mondays he loves lasagna if you're ever
14:51
in Capitola go to cusos get their lasagna tell them Mr dap sent you it's
14:56
true you won't regret it uh all right get their no B let's move from cats to
15:02
Ducks what do you say okay I can handle Ducks better it was Anaheim Ducks day last week at the disand resort so I
15:07
stopped by on Saturday was it Friday or Saturday Friday Friday okay and uh
15:16
caught the cavalcade caught everything else that was going on as well we're going to show you abbreviated version of the cavalcade because it was uh it was
15:23
kind of long it was also ridiculously loud like I don't know that they realized how loud it was going to be
15:29
people were looking around weirdly when it started but here's what we got to see
15:38
[Music]
15:51

16:04
the Ste Le wi it in overtime

16:27
[Music]
16:46
[Music]
16:56
let's go
17:10
that is the of the world shoulders and lead for
17:17
[Music]
17:25
[Music] [Applause]
17:32

[Applause] [Music]
18:00
[Music]
18:10
turn [Music]
18:20
[Music]
18:29
so let's go Ducks yes let's go Ducks I
18:34
think the funniest thing and somebody pointed this out online
18:39
MH Donald Daisy Huey Dey Louie they're giving 130% yes they are they are going
18:47
for they're having fun the Ducks players they're there I mean I mean
18:54
they're they're not it's fair they're hockey players I was like they are not the way they perform is on the ice yeah
19:00
100% yes I just think it's really funny when you do events like this and like
19:06
the high energy music's playing and and like they're just like hey guys we don't
19:12
really know what to say like we just play hockey yes um but I think what this
19:17
really brings up though is is we don't really need to talk about hockey what we do need to talk
19:23
about is more duck representation in the Disney parks
19:30
specifically DuckTales Scrooge there was no Scrooge there was no Scrooge there was no g gold
19:37
yeah there was no Launchpad Gizmo duck yeah can you imagine seeing Gizmo duck L
19:43
minimal Miranda just shows up yeah or the original one um either is fine I'm
19:49
cool with both I want Launchpad but Launchpad totally deserved to be there my question is well I think
19:56
he would have I don't think we could have trusted him here players it would have been way more fun um my question is
20:02
if we were to have like Mickey and Minnie have their attraction now
20:08
okay what if Donald Duck or DuckTales or whatever were to get their own
20:13
attraction what would you want it to be life is like a hurricane here in duckburg you are on a hurricane so
20:20
you're on launchpads Plain yeah cuz I always felt that was like kind of connected with that
20:26
um no but what would you like
20:31
um so the problem is I don't know DuckTales well
20:37
enough okay but it could be Donald Duck like I'm just saying like
20:42
anything I but Don but Duck Tales is more fun I agree but Donald does have a long
20:49
lineage of comic books and cartoons and whatever
20:56
MH oh yeah dark queen where was Darkwing Darkwing totally should have been there
21:01
because we know he exists on this Coast very good point Bailey huh I agree oh maybe we'll see
21:09
him at 90s night oh I almost guarantee it anyway I don't know I don't have an
21:16
answer for this I can't even make up an answer for this speedboat ride you want to bring back no no no I'm
21:25
thinking more like Pirates of the Caribbean in Shanghai okay okay you feel like you're on a speedboat you're really
21:31
going slow but you're inside a building so it's not like what we had in fantasy land okay and then you're going maybe
21:37
it's not even a speedboat maybe it's a plane or something but like I'm thinking you're in a vessel of some sort and it's part
21:46
Simulator Part water ride so I am thinking speedboat cuz he is is a sailor I want to
21:53
say oh this might not be a Disneyland Resort attraction you want a Disneyland
22:00
afternoon no boat ride feeling daring today are we but what I am thinking
22:06
Adventures of gumy gummy Glen now that I'm thinking about this the platform that I think they're using for the
22:13
Avatar attraction here cuz that's a boat
22:18
ride the platform you think they're using for it the the technology Oh I
22:24
thought you me I literally for a second was like no sorry continue technology yeah I think
22:33
you could use that type of technology for a duck BG ride sure and it could be
22:39
something really awesome because they could really throw you into the cartoon in a completely different way I thought
22:44
what Mr daps was doing was one something we don't do publicly which was speculate
22:51
um and so I thought you were saying oh they could take the platform where I think the Avatar right is going to be I
22:57
thought you were talking about I thought we still on Gummy Glen and so I thought you were saying that that dock was being
23:03
used for Avatar and I was like no what are you saying we confirmed it's in DCA like I
23:11
what um anyway uh I really no I playes really thought you lost the plot for a
23:18
second I was like did not I have to reel him back in nope I'm going to reel you back in though and we are going to watch
23:24
an indie cam I love indie
23:29
[Music]
24:40
something funny I noticed today MH because I think it's I just think it's hilarious I called him back
24:46
inside he leaves the toys outside on purpose yeah he's a weirdo he goes no
24:51
these toys don't come inside these are my outside toys it's it's very weird I
24:56
don't get it he has a sister I don't understand
25:03
it anyway anyway last year actually it was two
25:08
years ago we were first shown I guess we first got to see the bdx droids walking
25:14
around Star Wars Galaxy's Edge then they returned and then they were at uh I got to see them in imagineering and then at
25:20
d23 people got to see them as well and now people that are going on a cruise
25:26
this week are seeing them I think it's it's the Disney Fantasy a ship it's either that or the
25:33
wish I can't remember now um anyway one of the Disney Cruise Line ship has these bdx Droids and they are walking around
25:39
on the ship and my question is do you think they have their sea legs I think
25:44
that's the test for them I think so too yeah I think that um a cruise ship is a
25:50
very delicate ecosystem to say the least and so I
25:57
think that these little bdx are really figuring out what what life is like on the high seas I think it's great I think
26:02
it's so cool uh I think that's really cool and and where I would love to see them always be at Galaxy's Edge I also
26:09
think it's very cool that they're um on a cruise ship um I also wish and I don't
26:17
think they're doing this wish but wouldn't it be great if they had like a I don't know like
26:25
a follow the life of the Droid thing you know like a little that's or maybe vacb
26:32
like a little Vlog kind of thing of like like I think' be so cute and funny and
26:38
you know throw it on the Disney Park's blog channel or whatever babies I think that would be hilarious and a lot of fun
26:44
all right from happy news to sad news we finally have the date that is the final
26:52
day well for this and now if you'll come this way I can show you our secret Laboratory see we invited distinguished
26:59
scientists from all over the world to come and work here unfortunately none of them showed up so instead I'd like to
27:05
introduce you to the guys who invented puppet vision and they can show you some of
27:11
their uh right now I'd like to turn you over to Dr bunson honeydew and his assistant
27:17
beer well thank you Mr kit today let's look at the advancements we've been
27:22
working on for Muffet Vision beer would you turn on the machine
27:42
the BS have been able to grab home the future the wheels of progress turn
27:48
swiftly here as we strike upon ways to bring science safely to you this
27:54
userfriendly machine will now generate the first living 3d effect just by picking a simple
28:04
switch I'm wo the spirit
28:10
of thank [Music]
28:15
you so June 7th is the last day from up Vision
28:20
3D I'm very thankful that we got the video of that I'm curious if we wore the
28:26
3D glasses if it would make make the video look better I don't know
28:32
but June 7th I think it's sooner than anybody thought it was going to be I figured it had like a year no I thought
28:39
I actually thought this was going to happen sooner oh I was guessing September I was actually really
28:46
surprised when they said June I was like oh I was expecting like March okay I'm being super honest I just always feel
28:52
like they do these things on uh the fiscal calendar thing so it's like oh they're going to do the whole thing like
28:58
they did with all the upcot stuff where it's like oh last day of September this is your last one which I kind of like
29:04
when they do that because then you can have a chance to say goodbye the old and the new that way like it worked very well for illuminations into Epcot
29:11
forever um but yeah very sad that one's going away and how quickly it is and and I'm
29:17
very curious what they think they're going to do to preserve it I mean I kind
29:24
of wish they would start giving us indications just so fans can have something because if their definition of
29:29
preserve it is what they did with the 50th Anniversary movie in uh opera
29:36
house just playing it on the little video you mean yeah where one person watches it sometimes well and that's I
29:42
wouldn't want that cuz I like the pre-show as much as I like the regular show and it went away yeah it's not even
29:47
there anymore yeah um well the
29:52
pre-show I don't know I don't the pre-show is as good or better better than than the main show better in my
30:00
humble opinion okay I don't know I love the pre-show has such a special place in
30:05
my heart um probably because of all the times I would just like sit in the uh
30:13
Muppet Vision Lobby like charging my phone or something um CU who amongst us
30:19
has not been there um as a matter of fact that it's probably where I encountered Mr daps for the first time
30:25
just neither of us knew um but I love M Vision I also think I was
30:33
saying this before the show I want to say this I want to get this out I do think um the imagineers should be
30:41
warned um we are going into Uncharted Territory here we have never demolished
30:46
a building them up a Vision 3D has been in have you thought about the fact that
30:53
you are about to unleash the horrors of Waldo SE graphic upon the worlds because the building didn't get demolished in
30:58
California Adventure no no the building stays as a matter of fact we know that Gonzo is still actually on the
31:05
building but demolishing the theater where Waldo SE
31:10
graphic is held I think that's really dicey territory and I I know it's a little too
31:16
late but I think they should think about the repercussions of their actions because if I see Waldo C graphic in the
31:23
wild that these hands are rated E for everyone you know I he's my least favorite Muppet guys I'm
31:30
really sorry he's my least favorite Muppet I think he's cool from a technology perspective there you go
31:36
anyway sorry that was the rant I had to go on that was
31:42
yeah I don't got anything on him you don't do you have a leer Muppet I don't
31:47
think you do I'm like he's just a muppet like he's one time somebody I think the
31:52
reason I hold this opinion so strongly is one time somebody argued with me that Waldo SE graphic is the best Muppet
31:58
and I was like bro in what world no he's not the
32:04
best but he's yeah I don't know um but yeah it's sad that it's going away and uh all these people think I'm talking to
32:10
them but really yeah I hope they have a way that it's is very cool to experience and see
32:17
it I think they should cleanse the building genuinely or just bring it back to
32:23
DCA maybe that's their plan to I would be 100% okay with
32:28
I would be I think that's what needs to happen it needs to come back to Disney California Adventure I'm begging because
32:35
honestly Phil har magic is amazing at Walt Disney World it's not amazing here
32:40
it's like that room does not work as well as it should for what that is um
32:45
and we could bring back the pigs in space um the crash oh yeah yeah outside
32:51
we could we could bring back all of that stuff I don't think that's going to work either but we can wish anyway Disneyland
32:57
has a new president his name is Thomas maslom and he comes from Disney Signature experiences where he oversaw
33:04
things like the Disney Cruise Line uh the uh what story living by Disney and
33:11
uh uh DBC all sorts of stuff I believe not DBC is he DBC maybe anyway he
33:17
started effective immediately last week and uh I think it's a very interesting
33:23
choice as Disneyland is going into a period of building and growth because
33:29
this is a guy that has been doing a lot of that with new ships houses Community
33:35
I'm excited for somebody who's coming from Cruise Line yeah like I feel like the cruise line has really been the
33:42
brightest light in many regards for Disney Magic in the last few years is
33:47
you've got new ships and new shows and new it's Innovative and also in a way
33:53
that I always say this about you know how the Beatles put two four tracks together to make an eight track because
33:59
you have to be you have to figure out way yeah you have to figure out a way that is what you kind of have to do
34:05
with a cruise line because you are limited with what you can do by space by predetermined designs by offerings that
34:13
are available um and so I think that be the lightning and the bottle that they catch with Disney Cruise Line is so
34:20
special for a million reasons but also part of it is like it's a 35-year-old ship or
34:28
30-year-old ship is the oldest ship in the fleet and it still looks amazing so I think going into Disneyland 70th
34:35
becoming like creative getting ingenuitive getting like I think that there's a lot of and just the project
34:41
management standpoint is he clearly knows how to get things done and like you're basically building
34:48
a city on the sea with a new ship and he's literally built a community now
34:54
with story living by Disney uh or Cino I guess and um so I think he clearly has
35:01
that physical project management uh standpoint and knowledge that he can
35:07
bring to the table which is going to be needed in with all the Disneyland Ford stuff and I think the gifts that Ken had
35:14
for the Disneyland Resort really was setting the table for a guy like Thomas
35:20
to come in and and take it to the next level and Ken is off to a new project
35:28
it's like special it's it's like corporate special events for things like the the Olympics and yes and the which
35:36
is great with the stuff that's coming to La welcome to geks Corner plus by the way if you have any questions or comments you'd like us to respond to let
35:43
us know in the comments and we'll stick around for a couple more minutes but what's your favorite mupp Vision joke so
35:48
sorry I just commented Geeks Corner Plus what's your favorite joke in Muppet Vision 3D someone tell me right now what's your
35:55
favorite joke takes them a minute to type it what's your favorite chart uh it changes sometimes um I have a few off
36:03
the top of my head just for you jokes or moments H
36:08
moments cuz I was like I'm more about the moments like a pot of flowers balanced on the head one of them um
36:15
