Welcome to Geeks Corner. I'm Mr. Daps. I'm Katie. And we're so excited for you're here that you're here. I can speak. It's 9
0:50
million degrees. But it's really hot already. It is. But did you know
0:57
that in 1938 the very first commercially released soundtrack was released and it
1:03
was Disney? As I say like for everybody, not just for Disney. Yeah. Yeah. It was Disney and it was Snow
1:08
White and the Seven Dwarfs and that was the first time that they took the soundtrack and put it on a album and and
1:14
shared it. I did not know that. What should people do Katie? You should subscribe to us right here
1:19
right now. Uh youtube.comsmagic. you're not watching it here. That would
1:24
actually be very strange. I don't know how you got here. Um, you never know. And I respect that. You can also go to
1:30
patreon.com/dapsmagic. We actually do a post show for this show called What, Mr. Daps.
1:37
Daps AAfter Dark. Daps After Dark. It's got a little late night feel. We let you into the studio.
1:43
It's very fun. Um, and like I it happens like five or so minutes after this show ends. And then you should go into the
1:50
comments and you should say something fun because we do have a section at the end just for comments.
1:55
There we go. For now, let's talk about Muppets. Thanks, Daddy. Thank you, Mr. Daddy. Thanks, man. Thank you, Mr. Daddy.
2:03
Thanks, man. I love when things work. I do, too. All right, so this week we
2:09
got Fuzzy Bear. We have a lot of Muppets, which like shout out to Clocky. Two
2:15
weeks in a row. That is like a a record. Yeah, I don't know how you did that, Clocky. I do. You know somebody at Muppet Studio? What's going
2:21
around here? And I don't I don't trust it too much. I don't know if I do either. Um, so we
2:26
have Fozzy week before Styler and Waldorf. Um, to me looking at the the
2:32
trends here. So you see like Dr. Teeth and Rizzo and
2:37
Joe the legal eagle legal weasel and then Bean like you see these sections where it's like, "Oh, I know
2:44
them." And then sexual you don't like which makes me think there's no rhyme or reason.
2:49
I just feel bad for like Sam Eagle because Sam Eagle was like in a really weird spot there.
2:56
Mhm. But that's okay. Who do you think it's going to be this week, Kate?
3:01
Um, that is such an excellent question. I thought so. Wait, bring up that graphic again.
3:07
Bring up the graphic again. Bring up the graphic again. I
3:12
I'm gonna say Yolanda. Oh, no. Oh, Yolanda has had one. Okay, I see her now. Um, okay, never mind. Put it away.
3:19
Um, Beaker has Beaker Beaker's had one. Dang
3:27
it. This is getting tough. Mhm. Cuz now we're like we're really getting to weird spots. Um,
3:35
you know what? I'm going to fall back. Miss Gloria Stefon, save me now. Okay.
3:41
Um, I I think they're going to hold off on Piggy. I do see Uncle Deadly. I see
3:47
Gonzo. Um, I'm gonna keep hoping
3:53
for Bobo the Bear. Yeah, I know. Two two bears in a week. It could be
4:00
fun. It could be a very good week. Yeah. Or even a month. Who knows? Like,
4:05
I don't know. I think it'd be fun. All right. We're going to hope for that. Who knows if it'll actually happen.
4:11
But Clocky might be right with with uh Gonza. We I'm getting a little suspicious. If
4:17
you're right, three weeks in a row, three weeks in a row would make it very weird. Clocky, I might discontinue you from
4:23
All right. We had news this morning that was kind of big news for fans of the Disneyland Resort, and that is early
4:29
entry for Disneyland Resort or hotels of the Disneyland Resort is what they're calling them now. Um anyway, that's
4:34
going away in January. Yeah. And instead, each person that is is registered and staying in the room
4:41
will get a uh individual lightning lane, right? Yes. Okay. Uh you made a face. I wasn't sure.
4:48
But um my mic is muffled. Your mic is muffled. I don't know why. I don't know either. That's weird. Let's lift it up and see
4:54
what happens. Okay. Try now. Um I was simply reading the the
4:59
There you go. We have producers behind the scenes that are telling me how things sound. Anyway, what do you think of this? Uh,
5:05
so I'll start from a personal. Start with personal. Yes.
5:10
I don't wake up early. I rarely stay on property. This really does not affect me
5:16
a whole lot. Um, even if I was to stay on property, I am most not like I am most not I am most likely not waking up
5:23
that early. I'm not a rope drop person. Um, yeah, I love sleep,
5:31
but I absolutely understand that this is a perk that we've had for
5:37
like in some iteration, we've had this perk for a long time.
5:43
Mhm. Um, and so I absolutely understand the disappointment, but I also feel like,
5:51
correct me if I'm wrong, cuz I most likely am. Uh, didn't this used to be
5:56
like longer and then it used to be an hour. Now it's a half hour now and then it'll be gone. Yeah.
6:01
Um, so I I actually
6:08
think the bigger loss to me was going from an hour to a half hour. And now that it's a half hour to nothing, I'm
6:13
kind of like, okay. Um, a half hour is not a ton of you can you can get like one thing. And
6:20
that's where I'm kind of like, I get it because I bet you there's data somewhere where they're like, "Oh, on average each
6:26
guest at the Disneyland Resort Hotel does early entry once,
6:32
and in that half hour of early entry, you can get one attraction in, hence one
6:37
Lightning Lane." Um, I don't know. I think it's it's I can
6:44
see why people are upset. I can also see why people wouldn't care because I I think different people have different
6:52
routines for when they're at the Disneyland Resort or any resort. And I see Mikey talking about Walt Disney
6:58
World there, too. And I think Walt Disney World, I've been known to do uh early entry once in a while. But
7:04
Oh, once in a while. Um, I do think I do think it's it's one of those things that
7:09
as a lot of things change around the uh Disneyland Resort in the coming years,
7:16
we're going to have some things that just change, and that doesn't mean it's forever. It could be a this is for a
7:21
reason we don't know or or whatever it is. Um, I would not be surprised if if
7:27
there's other underlining reasons that we don't know that are part of this. And
7:33
I always assume there's reasoning I don't know or I don't have access to because we just don't have the big
7:38
picture of everything that's happening and how these decisions are made. Um I I don't have a huge opinion on this to be
7:44
honest. Like I don't think it's the end of the world. I don't think the optics are super great. But
7:50
but it's it's you know like if people don't like it, they won't spend their money and and Disney will adjust in
7:57
another way and and like there are ways that they will be able to find out and make it better or worse or you know
8:02
whatever happens. The other thing that came with this I was going to say are we talking about the other part of this? Yeah. So the other thing that came with
8:08
this is there's an entrance to Disney California Adventure that goes from the Pixar Place Hotel. You kind of go around the back of the Grand and you end up by
8:16
Seaside Souvenirs. And this is closing on I think it's one day before actually
8:22
uh the early entry is going away. So uh January 4th is the last day for this.
8:29
January 5th is the last day for early entry. Um and this is not coming back.
8:35
This is so they're saying like I've never we've heard that story before, too. Um, I actually think
8:41
there's there's a chance that it's not coming back because of growth. Yes, because of growth of the parks and
8:48
whatever. There might be a better place for a new entrance from Pixar Place at some point. Uh, what do you think of
8:54
this being closed? If I had a nickel for every time they
8:59
got rid of the DCA entrance from the Paradise Pier
9:04
Hotel, I would have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird to
9:09
happen twice. The fact that it was the same gate, I think, is really what gets me. Like, just love that. The only thing
9:17
is that, yes, Seaside Souvenirs, that's great. I do miss
9:22
um Sunglass Shack or whatever it was called um with the giant dinosaur. I think that
9:28
was very iconic. Okay. Um I liked the entrance. I have used it
9:34
twice, I think. But also, it was a hike. It was a bit of a trek to
9:43
get there. I think that's partially it. And I think people didn't completely understand that's where you could go if you were
9:49
staying like it wasn't a natural like oh yeah even with the sign there I don't think it felt necessarily like it was
9:55
somewhere you were supposed to go when you were leaving from Pixar Place and I will admit every time I've walked
10:01
back there I never see people walking in and out. Agreed. And there's always what six cast members
10:08
there now because you have security and then you have the main gate cast members and all of that. And um that that's a
10:16
trick. Don't forget the last time there was somebody from
10:21
Tanaya with incense. Do you remember that? That was so
10:26
random. Just back there. Anyway, I don't think it's the end of the world uh in this case either. I don't feel
10:33
like it's taking away a major guest experience because I would rather go through the Grand anyway.
10:38
But I will say to Mr. Grand Grand Californian Stanley's Point.
10:44
Mh. It it was a really good exit. Yeah. Like for especially for hotel guests
10:50
when you don't want to make that like super long track if you were staying at the Grand or if you were staying at Pixar,
10:56
it was a really good exit and I think that was a really nice thing. So, um, yes, Mr. Mister
11:06
period Grand Californian Stanford. Uh, I
11:11
agree with you. There you go. All right. And more exciting news. I'm not going to play the the uh video again, but the Muppets are
11:18
headed to Broadway and they will be with Rob Lake in his magic show. Um,
11:25
one, what took so long? Yeah. I mean, they've already had a movie about going to Broadway. Like, you you
11:32
could probably take the movie and put it on Broadway, to be honest. Like, that would be super easy. Um,
11:39
two, I think it's interesting that we now have a trend going where the Muppets
11:45
are special guests for everything. Like Jollywood Nights the show, they're special guests. They show up on all of
11:51
these other random whether it's late night, whether it's somebody else are supposed to be the hosts of special
11:56
guests. Yes, that's mine. I would like to see the Muppets get
12:02
their own stage show and I would love it to be a song and dance number and make it big,
12:07
you know, like uh Muppets Hollywood Bowl was amazing or Muppets Take the Bowl. Is that what it was called? Take the bowl.
12:12
And uh that shirt tonight and it will be I'm sure a blast.
12:19
I'm also curious like do they put up walls? Do they like
12:24
No, that's not what I'm curious about. What I'm curious about is what their role is
12:30
and will it be different muppets on different nights with Kermit because if they're kind of the,
12:35
you know, there's always that that assistant or the person that the magic's being done to in a magic show. So if
12:44
they have the assumption that Kermit is always there,
12:50
then could you swap in Fuzzy or Piggy or Sammy? Like I'm curious about that, too.
12:56
And how much of the show are they actually going to be in? Because I don't think it'll be a ton. I have my own personal show that I would
13:02
currently like to see Miss Piggy in that I I would love if she was like, "Later, losers, have fun with the magic show.
13:08
I'm going to Oh Mary on Broadway because the fact that Oh Mary is
13:13
publicly mourning the fact that Miss Piggy is going to Broadway and it is not to O Mary. Mhm.
13:19
I It's a It is a play about Mary Todd Lincoln. Miss Piggy could be Mary Todd
13:27
Lincoln. Perfect. I think it would be so Didn't it just win some awards or something too,
13:32
I believe? Or no, it was on the Macy's parade. Was that what it is? Cola Skola. They won uh for their role.
13:40
Okay. And I also also believe that there was like a
13:47
book award it might have gotten or Okay. Anyway, I would like to see the Muppets get a more prominent role in
13:53
anything they do. And um I would love to go to New York and see this still.
13:58
I know. I literally thinking, well, how could I go to New York? I would love to go after other people have gone because I wouldn't want to go
14:04
if they're like five minutes. Like if it's just a cameo, like if they're a significant part of the show, then I'm
14:10
interested. If they're not, then I'm like, I'll hopefully see somebody sneaking on YouTube or something,
14:16
a slime tutorial. That's what the kids call them now. Oh, okay. There you go. One of those. But yeah, so it' be like magic show
14:22
slime tutorial. Anyway, um uh one magical act plus an encore with any
14:28
muppet. I think that's great. But you know who I specifically want in the magic act? Fuzzy Bear.
14:34
I'm listening. No, like I just want nothing more than that. You just Yeah. Like in in the antics of something
14:40
always goes wrong with Fuzzy Bear, like the uh remote control pie.
14:46
Yeah. Or what have you. I would love that. Or what about Swedoms?
14:52
Well, so here, let me finish. Okay. I was speaking, so what I was gonna say
14:59
was uh I just cracked myself up. Um,
15:06
I think I just licked the microphone. Fozzy has everything.
15:11
I don't want to know what that tasted like. Did not taste. I would assume not. Fozzy has everything going on and it's
15:17
all going wrong and all these things are happening and magician pulls it off in spite of it all. Like, you know, like
15:24
that traditional like, oh, I mean, it's really too bad that they're divided from Sesame Street because then
15:29
you could have the count show up. Oh, and I would also like Abby Kadabi to show up or there we go
15:35
because Abby Kadabi is magic. There we go. But yes, no, the count would be really
15:40
like like there's there's lots of options for this. Um and they live in New York.
15:45
There you go. There. It's not even a far commute for them. It all makes sense. Yeah. All right, let's move into the real fun of the night. OogieOogie Bash is now
15:52
going. We are not going to give you the whole guide. I just grabbed the graphic. But we are going to talk about a few highlights of the night. First off, new
16:00
things. We got to see Syndrome for the first time. He came out at about 6, what
16:06
15? A little bit late, but he he showed up, so better late than never. Uh, what did you think of Syndrome? Go.
16:13
Um, I don't know that he translates very well off of animation, like from
16:19
animation to in person. Sometimes they just don't work. Um, I am willing to be
16:24
proven wrong. And maybe this is just I I don't get it. Um, I don't think that
16:30
it's bad and I don't think this is a knock on anybody involved in this in any way, shape, or form. I just think this is one of those things where I'm like, I
16:36
don't know that it works. I will also say it has given me the um habit of
16:43
randomly walking into work now and going, he's bigger. He's better.
16:50
Yeah. I actually loved the moment. Yes. Like everything about the performance and the moment and the
16:56
interactions. I loved I just felt he was like five feet too tall. Yeah. Because like in my head I was expecting
17:04
I don't know. I was expecting like the little guy cuz in the movie he's the little guy. But maybe that's why he's saying he's bigger. He's better.
17:11
Well, um maybe it all makes sense. I just thought of that. Well, Syndrome is a kid originally.
17:16
Mhm. Like fly home buddy. I work alone. I also if you want to if you really want
17:24
to have a fun conversation night, go to patreon.com/dsmagic. Subscribe right now so you can be on that post show because
17:29
I do opinions about Mr. Incredible. Um, specifically for Fly Home Buddy. I work
17:35
alone. But okay, I do. I'm not going to say them now. It's off topic. Anyway, keep going about Syndrome.
17:40
But um I Yeah, he may be a little bit too tall. I I could see that.
17:46
But maybe maybe in Incredibles, what are we three at now? Maybe it's Syndrome versus
17:53
Mr. Incredible. Well, I want to I want to rewatch the first Incredibles and see the height
17:59
comparison between Mr. Incredible and Syndrome cuz I don't think that he's much smaller.
18:05
So, it might have been it might have been right on. Yeah, I'm just used to him as a kid. I But again, translation.
18:10
Yeah, who knows? All right, we also got Maleficent who returned which was a welcome return. I thought she's she's
18:18
one of the best the best in my opinion. She should always be at Oogie Boogie. I was going to say if we
18:24
like if you're going to have OogieOogie, she should be there. Ernesto should be there. And who else would be permanent?
18:32
I would say those are the three that absolutely have to be permanent. Okay. Okay. Um uh the other thing is it's like have
18:39
we not learned anything? you don't uninvite her from a party. Side note, I'm looking at the list right now of
18:45
OogieOogie characters just so I can make sure that I'm not missing anybody that 100% should be permanent. But um
18:55
yeah, I I could kind of make part of an argument
19:02
for Judge Doom cuz he's he's a I like the characters
19:08
like Doom and Hades and Dof and Schmz and Maleficent and Syndrome that
19:17
can fly with the moment. Sure. And I really like that. Which OogieOogie kind of not so much, but you
19:25
know, I really like that's his party. Yeah, you have to keep him. It's his party and he can cry if he wants to. Um,
19:32
but I really would like I don't know. I thought it was such a good location for her this year. Um, I
19:38
thought it was a much better location for Doom. Like I thought that all worked well.
19:44
Such a better location. That's a problem. Like if I were making any guesses, Doom might be on the
19:49
chopping block soon because uh his space will be going to outer space. Um it's
19:54
true. Um the real villain next year is concern. I think he did, Bailey. I just You never
20:01
know. He did. And I wasn't going to say that. I I just assume in superhero movies,
20:07
nobody's actually ever really gone. Just don't don't tell him. It's fine.
20:12
It's fine. All right. Third one we got a new look at. And actually, I'd be okay with this this character meeting during
20:18
OogieOogie as well. And that is Jack Skellington. Mhm. In fact, I think
20:25
of all the characters we don't have at OogieOogie, like yes, he's in the Frightfully Fun Parade, he should be
20:32
when not in the parade on a trail if him and Sally had a treat trail.
20:37
Or if they switched out with OogieOogie, I think that'd be hard. But yeah,
20:42
it might be. But I would love to see both of them because
20:50
I also feel like it's their party, too. In fact, I would put them if I were in
20:55
charge. If I were in charge, we didn't have this planned. If I were in charge, I would put them at the Hyperion queue.
21:02
Where'd you put Ernesto? Ernesto would go back to where he used to be. Oh, where where they had the Kingdom Hearts in
21:08
Madame Mim. Cuz I just think Ernesto, it was spookier for him back there. And I don't know that you need the same level
21:14
of spookiness for Jack and Sally. I appreciate though Ernesto being able
21:20
to have like a viewing area. Yeah. Like that's what I really really like.
21:26
But I think you could still do that there. Like the last year they had him there, they did have that row where you could just watch and I think that would
21:32
work. What I'm so sorry I'm yawning. What I really liked personally is that this
21:41
space is so large that it does feel like Ernesto de la Cruz is having a concert. True. And like he's talking to a crowd of
21:48
adoring fans. I have a better idea. What? Put him in the theater and you walk
21:53
through the theater and you see him that way. And you walk down one aisle, you go across the front and you walk down another up another aisle.
21:59
Yeah. And he's on the stage for the concert. That would actually be and you could sit there if you want and watch. Dude, Daps, that's smart.
22:05
That's the way to do it, dude. Daps. And then Jack and Sally can be outside or whoever.
22:10
Dude, check out my site. That's crazy work. That's so good. That would work. So, I still want Jack and the Heroes taking
22:16
over the park at the night. I agree. So, the missile is very Eevee. The missile is EB and Eie to CB. But I love when I
22:25
say nonsense and you just roll with it. That was actually the thing I missed about Ogie Boogie Bash this year was
22:30
that uh I think the last two years or maybe it was just last year, I could be
22:35
wrong. They had heroes in Carthage Circle. I agree with that because the heroes were trying to
22:40
protect Disney California Adventure from Weren't Paint and Panic in Car Circle,
22:46
too. Like it was heroesish. Uh well, they were with Mega. So it was
22:53
like Mega and Hercules. This year they were I thought it was Hercules. No, it was Mega and Hercules and then Pain and Panic.
22:58
So, they're going back and forth. I don't know that Pain and Panic are really that much of villains. They're wearing Hercules merchandise.
23:03
They're they're they're they're wearing Hercules merchandise. Yeah, they're they're definitely
23:09
misunderstood in every way you could possibly be. They are dopey. They are um absolute
23:16
fools, but I don't know that they're like like Hades is really the master because we did get comments on YouTube about them meeting opposite of Mega and
23:23
why was Mega there when she's not a villain. And I think it does make it confusing cuz you do have some
23:29
characters like they had B Peep and Woody I think on Pixar Pier. We didn't
23:34
see them but Lo is not there this year. Huh. Okay. Um not Huh. She just wasn't. Um, and
23:44
I was just saying like, huh, like he's a villain and then, uh, you had the Kingdom Hearts 3.
23:49
Mhm. Then you had the Sanderson sisters. So, you do have some that aren't technically villains still, but it wasn't as
23:57
I don't know, clearcut. I really like when there's a clear cut. Like, I liked when Cara Circle was like, "Oh, we have Ping or we have
24:05
They're anti-heroes. They're Yes, I like anti-heroes. That is accurate. I like when there was like Ping or um we've got the blue fairy and
24:14
there's a lightness to that. Yeah, I agree. I do really like the storytelling aspect
24:19
of we are trying to protect from the villains. Y um and I liked that storyline. It was
24:25
also very clear defined. If you want to see the heroesque characters, you're
24:31
going to go to Carthage Circle. Um yeah, I don't know. No, I I agree. I
24:38
think I think I liked that uh narrative and that vibe, but uh you know, we we
24:44
move on and next year will be even more different because there will be so many things happening at Disney California Adventure. I half expect them to switch
24:50
parks. Who knows? Um Mickey's Halloween party returns. Well, just because if you have back lots
24:58
under Yeah. construction. Yeah. Half of Avengers Campus is under construction. I'm assuming the back of,
25:05
you know, whatever they're doing for Coco is gonna be under construction. Like, that's a lot of construction going on. I will say I liked having both Agatha
25:12
and Scarlet Witch out. Yeah, that was pretty cool. I liked that. Yeah, I I thought that I actually
25:18
thought Avengers was one of the strongest areas of the park, even though uh there was walls up,
25:24
but they also had Captain America meeting or no uh not Captain America, they had Black Panther, they had Red Guardian.
25:31
Yeah, they had uh Agatha and the Scarlet Scarlet Witch. I literally was like again,
25:36
very good. Very good. All right, the other Halloween event we had this week was not scary farm which starts I believe on
25:44
September 19th off the top of my head and uh it was the nightmares revealed
25:50
event last night that we attended and we learned about the two new mazes that are coming this year. One of them is a uh
25:57
scary zoo concept and the other is a um
26:02
uh Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. And uh we just said it twice and nobody say it
26:08
again. There we go. But um we also got to learn about the um the
26:17
makeup that they do for this show. Like there's a if you really want to know about the makeup that they do for Not
26:22
Scary Farm, we got a video up. You can check that out. Uh, we got to check out the food. We got to check out Lights on
26:28
Tour, one of the um the mazes and the merchandise we also got to look at.
26:35
And this year, I will say, might be their best year yet for merchandise. But I will also say I feel like this
26:42
might be the first year in several years where it kind of feels preandemic
26:47
where it's just everybody's into it. It's fun. It's it's energetic.
26:52
um they're very proud of of what they're doing and and there's just that that energy
27:00
that's that's very unique to not scary farm that's a whole lot of fun and uh
27:06
and it's it's it's a really it's two sides of a coin. Yeah. Because they're being scary, but there's
27:13
also this family feel. Yeah. Like it's a very weird thing. It's like, "Hey, we're having fun. We're we're
27:19
doing all this stuff together. Do you want to try some black uh um chicken
27:24
wings and frog legs and all of these things? Cricket cupcake and cricket cupcake. And then on the on
27:30
the flip side, they're like, "By the way, we're also while we're feeding you all of these really interesting foods that are supposed to be scary, but
27:35
really you're quite delicious. We also want to scare the beeas out of you." And
27:40
it's just this wonderful dichotomy of of of like it's it's a
27:47
small town thing almost. So, I I have always considered Halloween haunt um or
27:52
not scary farm as it is officially formally called these days to be the number one haunt period, especially in
28:00
Southern California. Like, I think it is the best. I think it's great. Um and part of it is this like small town feel.
28:05
Like anybody, not anybody, but anybody that likes Halloween that is a Southern California local most likely started
28:12
going to Scary Farm when they were in high school. Um I started going to Scary Farm when I was like 13. So, that means it's been like
28:18
almost 16 years. And that's okay. That's crazy. But it does have this like
28:27
generational aspect to it, I guess. But both for guests and the people that work there.
28:32
Yeah. Like you hear the stories of the people that worked there for decades and that's really cool. Well, it's like I've known people that
28:37
have done Scary Farm as talent and they've worked with like their family or their parent or like what have you. What
28:44
I think is great though, and I cannot I would be remiss if I did not speak about it. That purple sparkly spirit jersey, I
28:51
love it. It has a nod to a certain lovely ' 60s TV show um with a little
28:56
witch flying on a broomstick. It is adorable, but it's scary farm. It's not spooky farm. It's not Berry Farm. It is
29:03
for Scary Farm, and I think that's amazing. Also, there is a hat that I was
29:08
going to buy last night, but I didn't know where the store was and I didn't pull up the map,
29:15
but there is a hat for Cinema Slasher, which is my favorite maze at Knots currently. Um, besides Origins, like I
29:21
think Cinema Slasher is just so good. And it is popcorn, like a a box of
29:27
popcorn with a knife, and it says, "You butter run. You butter run." No obvious immediate
29:34
branding. It it's it's very funny. You better run. I want it. There's a shirt, too, I think. Um, but
29:39
yeah, it looks like Scary Farm is gonna be a blast this year. And Halloween officially starts at Disneyland on the
29:45
22nd. We'll be covering all of that just a couple of days. So, you don't want to miss any of that on our YouTube channel
29:52
and everywhere else. But, uh, they look like it's going to be a great Halloween season, especially when it's not so hot.
29:59
Just Just saying. Just saying. We are in the middle of a heat wave right now, which does seem to happen fairly frequently. And what? It wouldn't
30:05
be August on Geeks Corner unless we're roasting. I know. I wanted that hat so bad. All right, let's move on into
30:17
comments. Comments. That's right. It's time for comments. If
30:22
you have anything you'd like us to respond to, let us know in the comments. We will discuss them for just a few minutes before we make the leap over to
30:31
Patreon and watch. will not watch have DAPS after dark uh the Patreon exclusive
30:37
show. It's going to be a lot of fun tonight and we got something I know of one thing I'm going to share and uh I
30:43
think Katie has some ideas as well but if you have comments let us know and we will respond to them otherwise yes Katie
30:50
should have gotten the hat. Um, again, I fully So, Adaps was recording
30:58
the show with the makeup artists. Mhm. And it's very in-depth. I filmed the lights on tour of the
31:06
Grimoire, which will be leaving after this season. Mhm. And I was like, perfect.
31:13
Because um if I have Mr. Naps anywhere near me, I do have actually a level of self-control where I'm like, you know
31:19
what? I don't need to spend silly silly money. I have no like he does not make
31:25
me feel bad for spending silly silly money um on silly things. Like he's
31:30
like, "Okay, cool." Like do that. But like it's the process of having to justify it to another person. But I have
31:35
zero problem being like like I bought this thing. There you go. All right. Any snacks to recommend at Oogie Boogie? So here's the
31:41
thing. OogieOogie, you get so many treats. Mhm. You don't need snacks. Yes, you could
31:48
get the the spooky snacks at at uh Floss V8 and all of those things, but
31:55
generally our game plan is you eat before OogieOogie so that you can
32:01
experience as much of OogieOogie during OogieOogie. And for us, that's not generally the food because we're filling
32:07
up bags that get way too full anyway. Like mine was packed.
32:13
There also weren't many exclusive snacks. There was like four. Yeah. Um, and they looked fine. Like they I'm
32:20
sure they're great, but uh generally we during the party we'll be trying to see
32:27
as many characters as we can see, tree trails as we can see. Um, get into the
32:32
um, Villains Grove, which sometimes that can be hard because at the beginning of the year, Villains Grove doesn't open
32:38
with the party because it's too bright. Timed that so well. We timed it really well. Um, and then
32:43
did I say frightfully fun parade? We we like to do that. Um, I would like to see in the future a world of color for this
32:50
this party. Um, I I just think it I think it would
32:55
benefit it because we used to have Halloween screams and frightfully fun parade and I would like to see them
33:02
bring it back. And we used to have a World of Color. That's not what I want though. I want Halloween screams world of color like an
33:09
updated version. So not World of Color Villainous. No, I want OogieOogie. Like OogieOogie or you
33:15
know something more that direction. It is my life mission to make sure that everybody remembers World of Color Villainous existed.
33:20
It is on our YouTube channel. Nobody ever does. Oh, I remember it. I just I just choose to keep moving forward. All right. When
33:26
do we get a churnabog at an OogieOogie bash? See, I think that would be a World of Color thing. I was going to say
33:33
we can get Chernabog at OogieOogie Bash when we fix the Chernabog effect.
33:39
There you go. And if you don't know the Turnabog effect, have you even been watching Geeks Corner? I talk about this like
33:44
once a month. I was gonna say once a year, but go ahead. Oh, I talk. Okay, so the Chernabog
33:50
effect. Are you going to let me talk about this right now? Okay, so the Chernabog effect was a uh very large
33:56
structure. Think of like a spine with like ribs coming out of it. Um that would spray water and they would project
34:01
Chernabog onto it. That was like the whole like
34:08
in World of Color. That was going to be it. They tested what they tested this
34:14
effect. It didn't work. And like I think a handful of people saw it didn't work.
34:20
Great. But mainly the way we know that this exists is because you could see it from the at the time called Paradise
34:26
Pier Hotel. Did Laughing Place or something have a video? I feel like somebody had a really grainy video.
34:32
Yeah. Like anyway, this effect was then never used. It was like they were trying
34:38
to make it work up until like the two days before it premiered or something, but it never premiered to guests. Guests
34:44
have never seen this live. This is something that haunts me. The Churnabog effect haunts me mainly because I have
34:52
this really weird obsession with things that are like abandoned in plain sight. And so the Chernabog effect which most
34:59
likely has is now completely gone because remember when the river was or river the there was issues
35:05
when the thing was drained for like 3 years probably isn't there anymore.
35:10
But but but but I want that turnab big I want that
35:15
turnabog effect so bad I just can't explain that. So anyway um again I love
35:22
things abandoned in plain sight. I love things abandoned that like were once very well visited. I think that's very
35:28
fun and creepy. Um yeah, there you go. Anyway, and that is how you get Trinabog clocky.
35:36
I hope that was helpful. All right, we are running out of time. Katie, what should people do?
