Welcome to Geeks Corner. I'm Mr. Daps.

0:23
was envisioned by creator Joe Braum as a
0:25
show that parents and kids alike would
0:28
enjoy together.
0:30
>> I think that was a very successful
0:33

did a very nice job with it.

very large man. It have some decency.
2:16
This is a family show. But his name is

2:33
Um Annie was very excited to give me Tom
2:36
Nook. So
2:37
>> there you go. And if you can't make it
2:39
going back to Chalkwalk if you can't
2:41
make it you can be what they call a
2:42
sleeping bear which means you can join
2:44
our team. You can fundra for the cause
2:46
and then sleep in on Chalkwalk morning
2:49
instead of getting up very early. But we
2:52
have a lot of ground to cover tonight.
2:54
So we're just going to hop right on into
2:55
it. First off, Blueie has arrived at the
2:58
Disneyland Resort as part of Bluey's
3:00
best day ever. It started on Sunday with
3:02
incredibly long lines that lasted hours
3:05
for people to get in. Monday was a very
3:07
different story as was today. You could
3:10
basically just walk in and see a show,
3:12
which is good to hear. Like it was busy,
3:14
but not
3:16
>> insanely long. Yes. But what we've got
3:20
there is there's two shows that happen
3:22
throughout the day, back and forth, on
3:24
and off, whatever you want to say that.
3:26
>> There are photo ops, there are games,
3:28
there's activities, there's food and
3:30
beverages that are themed um including a
3:34
they they say asparagus in um quotes,
3:39
but what it is is it's a pretzel that
3:41
looks like an asparagus. It's dipped in
3:42
white chocolate that's actually green.
3:45
Um,
3:46
>> imagine if it was actually just
3:48
asparagus.
3:49
>> I might actually like that better.
3:51
>> Yeah, I know you would.
3:52
>> I I didn't think this was bad. Like, it
3:54
was good, but it was a little bit on the
3:56
sweet side for me. Um, because I do
3:58
think chocolate and and pretzel worked
4:01
pretty well. Right up my alley.
4:02
>> Yeah, you'd be in heaven. I heard our
4:04
friend Spencer loved it today, too. Um,
4:06
it seems like pretty much everybody has
4:08
loved that one. There's a I'm gonna call
4:11
it pizza and a potato baked potato. That
4:14
is exactly what you think it is. Like
4:17
let's take everything from on top of a
4:19
pizza and dump it in a pepperoni. Yeah.
4:21
Pepperoni pizza and dump it on a baked
4:24
potato. It is heavy. I will tell you
4:26
that.
4:27
>> But everybody's loving that one too. And
4:29
if you love a Disneyland pizza
4:32
but in a potato, this is your thing.
4:35
Like I want to try it when it's not as
4:37
hot and maybe not in the morning.
4:40
>> I was gonna say, yeah, I think all of
4:42
those things.
4:42
>> It's not really breakfast. Not really.
4:44
Like I I would like to give like I
4:46
didn't dislike it, but I think I would
4:49
be more excited about it later in the
4:51
day.
4:51
>> That's valid.
4:52
>> Um that's just, you know, sometimes the
4:53
challenges of media events is you get to
4:55
try things at weird times. Um there's
4:58
also a parfait that looked very good.
5:00
There's a um
5:02
>> cold brew. There's a cold brew that I
5:04
heard was good, but I'm not a huge cold
5:06
brew person.
5:06
>> He doesn't drink coffee iced.
5:08
>> There's a lime. I'm forgetting what it's
5:12
called now with the with the uh
5:14
watermelon.
5:15
>> Oh, yes. Yes. Yes.
5:17
>> Uh so that's there, too. That actually
5:19
was pretty good. It's got a little bit
5:20
of tartness to it. And that's one I
5:22
would share, but I would It's
5:24
refreshing. It'd be great on any warm
5:26
day, which might be the rest of the year
5:28
at Disneyland the way it's going this
5:29
year. Um
5:30
>> except if it's going to rain next week.
5:32
>> We will see. Um, I will believe it when
5:34
I see it. Uh, there's also I'm trying to
5:37
think what else is on the on the menu.
5:40
Uh, oh, the perfittererals.
5:42
>> Amazing. Those are so good.
5:45
>> Uh, there's they're in a little tray and
5:47
there's probably like eight or 10 of
5:49
them and they were gone in two seconds.
5:52
Like those might have been one of the
5:54
best things they had. like I
5:57
they're small so they're dangerous
5:59
because it doesn't seem like you're
6:00
eating a lot and then they're suddenly
6:02
gone. So, you know, if if they remotely
6:06
interest you, just be forewarned. They
6:07
will be gone. Like, and if you don't eat
6:09
them, somebody will because they were
6:11
very good and they weren't too sweet.
6:13
>> Okay.
6:13
>> Well, yes,
6:14
>> they I actually like them better than
6:17
the beignes over in New Orleans Square.
6:19
Like, I thought they were a little bit
6:20
lighter. They weren't um and and yeah,
6:25
they were fantastic.
6:26
>> Uh the shows so the shows are
6:30
>> well they both start similarly I I guess
6:32
I should say
6:33
>> and then they they kind of morph I guess
6:38
into two separate shows. Um, each of
6:41
them are about 40 minutes long, which
6:44
yes, 40 minutes longers.
6:46
>> Um, but they're jam-packed 40 minutes.
6:51
Like, I think they're solid all the way
6:52
through. They're a lot of fun,
6:54
especially if you're a Bluey fan.
6:55
There's a ton of references that you're
6:57
going to recognize as they're going
6:58
through. And um, and the live music is
7:03
fantastic as well. Like, I I thought
7:05
it's solidly done.
7:07
>> Um,
7:08
>> if I were in charge. Mhm.
7:10
>> I would cut it up and be like on a
7:12
little bit, off a little bit, on a
7:14
little bit, off a little bit. I think
7:15
you get more out of the game area that
7:16
way, too. And
7:18
>> and
7:19
>> I'm sure there's an operational reason
7:21
that that's very hard to do because then
7:23
when did people take breaks and all that
7:24
fun stuff, too. But it's a solid show.
7:27
It was enjoyable. Um I liked the first
7:30
of the two and you liked
7:31
>> the second of the two
7:32
>> and and not that we didn't like one of
7:34
them. That was just our favorite.
7:35
>> What is the first and the second? Well,
7:37
one is uh um story time and the other is
7:40
is a game show.
7:41
>> Yes, I liked the game show.
7:43
>> She liked the game show. I like story
7:45
time. And
7:47
>> I liked the game show because the game
7:48
show features Muffin and I love Muffin.
7:52
>> But see, the story time version featured
7:54
the granny's.
7:55
>> It's I know. And I love the
7:58
>> puppets at the end like the or I don't
7:59
even know what to call them.
8:00
>> Those are puppety
8:02
>> but not like Yes. think Macy's Day
8:05
Parade.
8:06
>> Yeah, at the end it was fun. Um
8:09
like I I think they're both a lot of
8:11
fun. And if you look at our videos,
8:13
you'll see people standing by the stage
8:14
and they're now seated. It looks like I
8:16
don't know if that's forever cuz
8:18
>> things have changed. It seems like day
8:20
by day. I heard on Monday that they
8:22
turned off mobile order and you had to
8:24
stand by to get food, which probably is
8:27
good because I think people were mobile
8:28
ordering to get into the theater when
8:30
the line was long. So, who knows? I'm
8:32
sure that will reopen at some point in
8:34
the near future um depending on how busy
8:37
it it maintains. But what did you think
8:40
of the two shows now that you've seen
8:41
them on YouTube? I think it's fun. Um I
8:44
personally I really like Blueie. I think
8:47
Blue is a lot of fun. Um I will I will
8:50
give the shout out that the reason I
8:51
even have this um is for my uh adopted
8:55
little sister Emma who calls me the
8:57
Bluey to her bingo. So this was actually
9:00
a gift from Emma. So Bluey is very
9:02
important in like my life. Um I think it
9:05
has all of the fun, all of the
9:07
references. It uses the side screens
9:09
really well.
9:11
>> Well, I would even say it uses the whole
9:13
theater. Like the whole theater
9:16
>> is one of the most transformed I've seen
9:19
that area in a very long time. Like it
9:22
it really, you know, maybe since like
9:24
Snow White or something. Mhm.
9:25
>> Um
9:26
>> but you see when it was um Muffin doing
9:31
ballet, like you see little kids doing
9:33
ballet and it's like there is this it's
9:36
not interactive in the way that you
9:38
think of when you say the word
9:39
interactive, but it is like oh that is
9:41
something I've seen before. That is like
9:44
Bluey and Bingo are here. Um and there's
9:47
Chile and there's Bandit and there's
9:49
Indie and there like it's so fun. Um I
9:54
do agree. I think it's a little too
9:55
long. The other thing I would have
9:57
changed programming wise is if we are
9:59
keeping these blocks so to speak, I
10:02
would end it with the bluey theme with
10:05
the whole dance and then
10:06
>> oh just to go out on a high note again,
10:07
>> bingo cuz like that's that's really the
10:11
thing and then like because it ends with
10:14
blue and then it's like yay, okay, go
10:16
have your best day ever. I think that
10:18
would be
10:19
>> um and then it ends with like people
10:21
getting up and dancing and like that
10:23
type of thing.
10:25
>> That's just me.
10:25
>> Well, and Blue and Beo do come down on
10:27
the ramps and they kind of dance with
10:28
people in front too. Yeah. But I think
10:30
that hasn't quite been figured out
10:33
completely yet. Fair
10:34
>> because there were kids dancing in front
10:36
of the adults on Sunday. You just
10:39
couldn't see them unless you were up
10:41
front. And um and that that's kind of
10:43
the interesting thing I think with the
10:47
world in which we live in is everybody
10:49
has an opinion about everything. And
10:51
there were lots of people going where
10:54
are all the kids? And I was like there
10:55
is so many kids. Like I haven't been to
10:57
a show that I think had more kids than I
11:01
can remember any time in recent history.
11:03
Granted a lot of them also had parents.
11:06
A lot of them had aunts and uncles. Like
11:08
there was a lot of because I did the
11:11
first show and I basically rope dropped
11:14
the line. There were a ton of families
11:17
and I didn't see a whole lot of just
11:20
random people in there. Like it really
11:22
small.
11:23
>> It surprised me. And um and even if
11:26
there were, I didn't care because you
11:28
you go back to what we talked about at
11:30
the beginning of the show is this really
11:32
was meant for something that's for
11:33
parents and kids. like it's supposed to
11:35
connect with all ages. And um
11:37
>> and one of the tables by Trouidor has
11:40
the scene where Chile feels a ton of mom
11:43
guilt and feels like she's doing a bad
11:45
job and she feels like Blue is not
11:46
hitting milestones. Another mom sits
11:48
down with her and goes, "You're doing
11:50
great." That's one of the tables kids
11:52
aren't going to get. That's not going to
11:54
register with kids. That is an
11:55
experience that parents are going to
11:56
have and that's for them. Um, and I I
11:59
think that there are so many ways that
12:02
um, a lot of people have said like Bluey
12:04
heals their inner child because it's
12:05
like being kind to the kid within
12:08
yourself and all these things and like
12:10
it's a nice you put it on for eight
12:11
minutes. It's not a long commitment. You
12:13
go, "Yay, I feel good now."
12:14
>> Do I do think it's that's something it
12:16
succeeds at well is it does connect with
12:18
all ages. And as I was watching it, I I
12:21
was reminded of the Disney afternoon.
12:23
Like so many of those shows had moments
12:25
that were clearly like, "Oh, this is for
12:28
the parents that are watching."
12:29
>> Like we're like, "Oh, Scrooge McDuck,
12:31
the you know, the nephews, whatever."
12:33
And then they're they're rehashing
12:35
stories that are literary greats.
12:37
>> And and so there's all of these
12:39
different connection points that, you
12:41
know, kids may not get, but adults are
12:42
going to be like, "Okay, I appreciate
12:44
that." And and I do think that's one of
12:45
the strengths of Blueie as as it's
12:48
coming into the theater and soon will be
12:50
over at Disney's Animal Kingdom as well.
12:52
And um and that'll be interesting to see
12:54
how they like what their version of
12:56
everything ends up looking like. And
12:58
because I think
13:00
>> it would be very fun to have a bluey
13:03
Australian petting zoo
13:05
>> by the Fantasy Land Theater.
13:08
I think it'd be hilarious. It would be a
13:11
disaster. But it would be hilar Can you
13:13
imagine that?
13:14
>> It's just a kangaroo and you have to
13:15
line up to box the kangaroo.
13:17
>> Oh, so like that cartoon. Okay.
13:19
>> Yeah, exactly like that. But uh I think
13:22
it's a great addition though to
13:23
Disneyland Resort. It's great to see
13:24
Fantasy Land Theater getting all of the
13:26
attention and love. You know, next
13:28
should be Hyperion Theater. I would love
13:30
to see something go there. Don't know
13:32
that that will actually happen, but I
13:35
feel like if we believe and if we
13:36
communicate that's what we want enough
13:38
in a kind and decent way, maybe that'll
13:41
eventually happen. Maybe
13:43
>> we can always hope.
13:44
>> We can always hope.
13:45
>> Maybe even Roger's music will come back
13:47
or something new.
13:49
I actually think you could throw in an
13:50
Encanto show there very easily.
13:52
>> Like I think that would fit in very
13:54
well. And um
13:57
I I've heard there is a plan for Santa.
14:00
>> We will see. I I'm betting it won't be
14:02
in Fantasy Land Theater, though.
14:04
Although I would love to see seasonal
14:06
versions of the show.
14:07
>> I would I would eat it up. Like I think
14:10
you could probably like short term the
14:12
way I would do it is keep this show all
14:14
the way through into fall and then do a
14:17
holiday version from November through
14:19
beginning of January.
14:20
>> I would be all about it.
14:21
>> Like that's the way I would do it. And
14:22
I'm sure they could make that completely
14:24
magical and and a lot of fun. But
14:27
speaking of magical and a lot of fun, it
14:30
is time for a game that we don't have
14:32
Clocky here for, but we're going to play
14:34
it anyway. It's time for this or that.
14:38
Maybe.
14:53
>> That's right. It's time for this or that
14:55
where we choose this or that.
14:58
>> That intro is.
14:59
>> However, this time I've mixed things up
15:01
a little bit. Instead of just reading
15:03
off of a card,
15:04
>> okay,
15:04
>> we have graphics and we would love you
15:06
to play at home since Clocky is not here
15:08
to play along with Katie and me.
15:11
>> We're gonna do it anyway. It'll be fun,
15:13
right?
15:14
>> Yeah.
15:14
>> You ready for the first one?
15:15
>> I like fun.
15:16
>> All right. This or that?
15:18
>> Bluey or bingo. And why? This one should
15:22
be fairly I kept it very simple and easy
15:24
for the first one, but I do like the new
15:26
graphic. I think
15:27
>> that's good.
15:28
>> I think that's fun.
15:29
>> Um, I choose Blueie. Mhm.
15:31
>> Um, she is a great big sister. Uh, she's
15:34
very caring. She's a little crazy cuz
15:36
she's still she's still young.
15:38
>> Uh, but I I just love Blueie. I think
15:40
Blue is a whole lot of fun and she's
15:42
learning a whole lot about herself and
15:43
the world. So,
15:45
>> I'm going to choose bingo because I was
15:46
watching the other day and she made a
15:48
salad out of things around the yard and
15:50
completely messed it up and just wanted
15:52
to relax in her chair and I thought that
15:54
was the funniest thing ever. and uh and
15:57
and
15:58
how dad kept getting foiled by
16:01
everything. Like this is where how can
16:04
adults not appreciate that? Like
16:06
absolutely hilarious. Um yeah, I'm going
16:10
to go with I'm going to go with with uh
16:12
bingo just to counter. You need to put
16:15
why though. Okay, so Annie says bingo.
16:17
That counts too. Um but we want to know
16:19
the why. So don't just put the name. put
16:22
also the the explanation why because
16:25
that's equally important and sometimes
16:27
funny. All right, on to the next one.
16:29
You can add your wise for the next one.
16:31
Are you ready for this? This one you
16:32
might not like.
16:34
>> DCA opening day or Epcot or year or
16:38
Epcot opening year.
16:40
>> You are wrong for this.
16:43
>> I was very proud of this one to be
16:45
completely honest.
16:46
>> And remember you have to say why. So,
16:49
DCA or Epcot opening year?
16:53
>> Uh, oh, that's painful.
16:58
Uh, wow. Against all odds, I'm going to
17:01
say Epcot opening year.
17:03
>> Oh, really? I did not think you were
17:05
going to say that.
17:06
>> Pigment and Dreamfinder.
17:10
>> Mhm.
17:11
>> Like they're
17:12
>> even though they're a little bit late.
17:14
>> They're still 82. No.
17:16
>> Uh, well, they showed up.
17:17
>> Yeah.
17:18
>> Yeah. you that counts.
17:19
>> Being able to meet Dreamfinder and
17:21
figure it out.
17:21
>> Okay.
17:22
>> And it was it was open within the
17:24
opening year. So either way, fine. Yes,
17:26
I'll give you that.
17:26
>> Thank you very much.
17:28
>> Um and I think that there is a magic
17:32
about Epcot in that original year. Um it
17:36
was the first
17:39
sister park, so to speak, the second
17:41
gate.
17:42
>> Um the original Second Gate. Um and I
17:45
think that there is
17:48
a lot of it's not called Future World
17:51
anymore, but it was called Future World
17:52
then. A lot of fun nostalgia and future
17:54
world. Um it would be fun to see those
17:58
things like in their heyday,
18:00
>> so to speak,
18:02
>> um but my goodness, the reason I'm not
18:06
saying DCA is because I'm like, yes, I
18:08
did experience it and I'm going for a
18:10
nostalgia factor, but I've never
18:12
experienced any of the original Epcot
18:14
things because I didn't go until 2009.
18:16
So
18:18
that was very difficult for me. I cannot
18:21
believe you put me in that position.
18:23
>> I am going Epcot opening year cuz as
18:26
many people know I absolutely love
18:28
classic Epcot.
18:31
>> And one of my favorite records is the
18:33
Epcot Epcot album and it's all of the
18:38
music basically from opening year. Many
18:40
a lot of it disappeared pretty quick.
18:42
>> Yeah. But, uh, there's so many random
18:46
nostalgic
18:48
things that happen there that are kind
18:50
of vintage Disney, but in an era that we
18:53
just don't see anymore, whether it's at
18:55
Disneyland or, you know, like and and
18:57
some of it lived on with a few moments
19:00
here and there. Not like like we'd all
19:02
wish, but um,
19:04
>> you know what, and I would also like to
19:06
go back to Epcot for one reason. I would
19:08
like to see Walt Disney himself say, "If
19:10
you can dream it, you can do it."
19:13
um
19:13
>> which was not even opening Epcot.
19:15
>> No, it wasn't. Uh but I'd like to see
19:17
Walt Disney himself stand in front of
19:19
Horizons and say, "If you can dream it."
19:21
>> See, I was envisioning him sitting
19:24
actually kind of by Spaceship Earth.
19:30
>> Like I I could see that. Yeah. And the
19:32
Mickey costume, the rainbow costume.
19:34
Amazing. And
19:35
>> I love that costume.
19:37
>> Danny K for the opening ceremonies. I
19:40
mean, what is not to love? And that
19:42
opening soundtrack in the ent like such
19:45
good stuff. All right, on to the next
19:47
one. This one, this one hopefully will
19:48
be a lot of fun, too. People mover or
19:51
the skyway? I feel like this might be
19:52
easier and it might be harder. I don't
19:54
know which one, but People Mover or the
19:56
Skyway and why?
20:01
See what I did? Extinct attractions
20:03
here. Yeah, you like that. All right.
20:04
What do you got?
20:12
I'm gonna say Skyway.
20:13
>> Okay,
20:14
>> I can't believe I'm saying that.
20:15
>> I'm a little surprised, but
20:17
>> I'm gonna say Skyway.
20:20
>> Oh my god, this is stressing me out.
20:22
>> I want to be able to go through the
20:24
Matter Horn.
20:25
>> Okay.
20:26
>> Like from above.
20:27
>> It was pretty cool.
20:27
>> I think that's so cool. You were able to
20:30
go from Fantasy Land to Tomorrowland.
20:32
Like
20:34
that is something that does not exist in
20:36
a Disney park. in a capacity like that.
20:39
Yes.
20:39
>> No, you have to go to like the OC Fair
20:41
or something.
20:42
>> Yes, you could argue that the Skyway
20:44
does go through Epcot. You can kind of
20:46
argue that, but it doesn't go from place
20:48
in a park to place in a park. And I
20:50
think that was very fun, very unique.
20:52
Um, but man, what I would give for in
20:57
2026, the people mover to just be there
21:00
and I could say, "Let me get on the
21:02
People Mover."
21:02
>> But you chose the Skyway.
21:04
>> But I chose the sky. I would like to go
21:05
back in time to the Skyway.
21:07
>> Okay. Yes.
21:08
>> Um, I'm gonna go with People Mover. It
21:10
was one of my favorite attractions as a
21:12
kid. I did enjoy the Skyway, but the
21:14
People Mover, like going through the
21:16
Tron Tunnel, which
21:18
>> relevant,
21:19
>> you know, awesome.
21:21
>> And getting to look into Star Tours from
21:23
the back and looking into the um like
21:28
the store um Starcade, you like there
21:31
were so many cool things you could see
21:32
from there. And then you were above
21:34
everybody in Tomorrowland and looking
21:35
down at the lagoon and going up and down
21:38
and around the the Montreals. Like as a
21:40
kid that was that was one of the coolest
21:43
things I think I can remember. Whereas
21:45
Skyway was cool to look down on things,
21:47
but I wasn't old enough
21:49
>> to
21:50
like experience old Fantasy Land
21:53
>> like like I think
21:55
>> if you know the Chicken of the Sea ship
21:56
had still been there, I would have been
21:57
like, "Oh, that's the coolest thing
21:58
ever." But I I didn't come till new
22:01
Fantasy Land was a thing, which it was
22:02
nice, but I don't remember and I
22:05
remember waiting forever for that. Uh
22:07
>> I just remembered that I could have been
22:10
able to see um Space Mickey from the
22:13
Paper Mover, but I could also see Space
22:15
Mickey from the Skyway.
22:17
>> So,
22:18
>> so true.
22:18
>> Not changing my answer.
22:20
>> All right, next one. This is going to be
22:21
fun. Pixar Place Hotel or Allstar Movies
22:25
Resort? I decided I'd go for the entry
22:29
levels that are based on characters.
22:32
Isn't this great?
22:35
>> Yeah. Um
22:37
>> to me it's a no-brainer.
22:38
>> Well, I know it's a no-brainer for you.
22:46
I'm going to say Pixar.
22:47
>> Mhm.
22:49
>> Because
22:50
I like the walkability of the resort.
22:53
Sorry, I don't know where that accent
22:54
came from. I'm getting nervous. I'm
22:56
getting sweaty. I'm getting nervous. I
22:58
start doing accents when I get nervous.
23:00
I like the walkability of the resort. I
23:02
like that there's a great bar, great
23:04
food. There's a lot of things to do.
23:06
You're very uh you're in close proximity
23:08
to the parks. You're not as close as the
23:11
Disney Hotel at the Grand Californian,
23:13
but you can
23:15
walk on over. Um
23:18
>> Okay.
23:18
>> Yeah, that
23:20
you are asking questions that make me
23:22
sweaty.
23:23
>> Okay. Okay, the next my my answer is
23:26
All-Star movies
23:27
>> obviously.
23:27
>> One, because of Herby. Two, I feel like
23:30
you get more bang for your buck there.
23:32
>> Um, yes, it's not as close to the parks
23:35
as Pixar, but basically nothing is over
23:39
there. Um, Pixar to me is beautiful, but
23:43
because of supply and demand, it's just
23:45
too expensive.
23:46
>> Um, I if it was Paradise Pure, I might
23:49
have a different choice, but um I I see
23:51
that there.
23:53
But
23:54
>> I'm sorry. Everybody frame this comment.
23:56
>> Huh?
23:57
>> Frame Mr. Grand Cal Stanley's comment.
24:01
>> Oh, okay.
24:02
>> He said Allstar movies.
24:05
>> There we go.
24:05
>> Who are you?
24:06
>> There we go.
24:08
>> I love it.
24:08
>> It's cuz we do Deep's Travels together.
24:10
That's what it's really about. Um, no.
24:12
>> It's also because three days ago when
24:14
Mr. Grand Cal Stan was in our living
24:16
room with our dog. He literally said
24:19
something about Pixar Place Hotel versus
24:21
All-Star Sports.
24:23
>> Maybe that Well, all style sports would
24:25
be a very different ball game for me.
24:26
>> Well, that's why I started giggling.
24:27
>> Like if it was movies or or uh music,
24:30
I'd probably still pick Florida. If it
24:32
was sports, I would probably
24:35
>> for sure
24:36
>> that. Yeah, that one's a little bit
24:37
rougher. Um All right. You ready for the
24:40
last one?
24:41
>> Oh my god. No.
24:43
>> Here you go. Small world all day or tiki
24:48
room all day.
24:51
>> Uh, I have a another surprising answer.
24:53
>> Okay, go for it.
24:54
>> Tiki Room.
24:55
>> Mhm.
24:56
>> Because I can eat and drink in there.
24:59
>> That's a good answer.
25:00
>> Yeah,
25:00
>> you can't eat or drink on Small World.
25:02
>> I don't think you're supposed to.
25:03
>> Oh, okay. I don't remember.
25:04
>> Uh, you can eat and drink inside Walt
25:08
Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room.
25:10
>> Um,
25:12
very fun things. So, uh, I think it
25:16
would be a little bit more accessible
25:19
for me to do in the tiki room as an
25:21
escape door. So,
25:25
that's that's my answer. I can't believe
25:26
I'm saying that cuz I love It's a Small
25:30
World. But, uh, Grand Cal Stan says
25:33
small world because he loves the boat.
25:36
Um, I'm gonna go
25:38
>> I am gonna go with Tiki Room as well.
25:41
Mainly because you get all of the
25:43
different weather happening in there.
25:46
>> You get the Dole Whips.
25:49
>> Am I wrong?
25:50
>> That wasn't a selling point that you'll
25:51
be with me in the tiki room all day.
25:54
>> You may not want to do that, though. Um,
26:00
>> I think the seats I could handle sitting
26:02
in longer. Yeah, I think they're a
26:04
little bit more cushiony.
26:05
>> Mhm. I think my eyes wouldn't be as
26:09
tired because I wouldn't be going from
26:10
dark to light all day.
26:12
>> Yeah.
26:12
>> Yeah. I don't know. I I could go either
26:15
way on that one. Um
26:18
Bailey likes the clicking sounds. There
26:20
you go. I think that's fun. I think you
26:22
could also make the argument that you
26:23
could go out on the ver to get more dull
26:25
whip.
26:26
>> Um because that would be part of the
26:28
process of of tiki room all day if you
26:31
as long as you didn't leave. So, you'd
26:32
have to like mobile order or whatever.
26:33
It would work.
26:34
>> Listen, as somebody who did have to do
26:37
something all day at a Disney park one
26:39
time, the rules were you did have to
26:41
exit
26:43
>> this also. It has the restroom there,
26:45
too.
26:45
>> Exactly.
26:46
>> So, I I think Tiki Room is my smart
26:47
move.
26:48
>> Yeah.
26:48
>> All right. That has been a game that I
26:51
hope you enjoyed called this or that.
27:08
All right, Josh Diamaro is now the
27:10
Disney CEO and last week he sent a memo
27:13
out on his first day to cast members and
27:16
employees of the Walt Disney Company
27:17
where he outlined his plans for the
27:20
future of Disney and it really comes
27:22
down to three main things which is
27:24
storytelling, innovation and the Disney
27:26
being one company that works all
27:29
together as one versus being a bunch of
27:31
divergent companies that are trying to
27:33
somehow connect together. Um, that's
27:36
oversimplifying things massively because
27:38
we don't have a ton of time. But what do
27:40
you think of Josh's first week as the
27:42
Disney CEO and his first day last week
27:44
with the shareholder meeting?
27:45
>> I'm excited. Um, I think he did well at
27:48
the shareholder meeting. Um, I think
27:50
that Josh Dearo just has a presence
27:51
about him and I was when I was getting
27:54
ready, I literally walked into the
27:56
studio and I stopped and I said, "I
27:58
think I love Josh Dearo's leadership
27:59
because it's the type of leadership I
28:01
try to model um in my life." Uh, he was
28:05
like, you know, unless I'm making a
28:07
plan, I'm going to be walking, talking.
28:08
I'm going to talk to guests. I'm going
28:10
to talk to cast members. Um, I'm going
28:12
to talk to anybody, even if they say
28:14
something that I don't want to hear,
28:15
because I always want to be open to
28:16
growth and, um, being able to be
28:20
approachable to that feedback. Um, I am
28:23
very excited what the future holds. Um,
28:26
mainly because people that aren't that
28:29
kind of leader aren't going to say
28:30
things like that. You don't just go, I
28:33
would never do that, but yeah, I I walk
28:35
around. And we've seen it. We've seen it
28:37
when he was president of the Disneyland
28:38
Resort. We've seen it when he was ahead
28:40
of the um what is it now? Park
28:43
>> experiences.
28:44
>> Experiences. I was like it's it's a
28:46
name. But I'm very excited for what the
28:49
future holds. Um I'm very excited. Just
28:51
the I concept of the CEO of the Walt
28:54
Disney Company like walking around and
28:55
talking to people is like mindboggling
28:58
because like Walt did that. But yeah,
29:01
I'm I'm excited. I'm looking forward to
29:03
the future. I think he's going to do
29:04
good things.
29:05
>> Yeah, I think so too. I think it's
29:07
interesting to watch as he's developing
29:09
leaders underneath him. He's shown that
29:11
he values people that are creative, that
29:13
are kind, that are people centric. It's
29:16
really about human connection with him
29:18
as you hear about him walking around
29:19
when he's not doing something else. So,
29:21
I think that's a very big difference for
29:24
the leadership at Disney. I also think
29:26
that as Bob Iger's era might have been
29:29
defined by
29:31
uh purchasing creativity, you could
29:34
almost say like it was it was expansion
29:37
through acquisition and growth through
29:39
acquisition in many regards and not that
29:41
it was devalued in any way because I
29:44
think it was Bob Iger very much values
29:47
creative storytelling. Um, I think a
29:50
thing that Josh Dearo does is he's
29:53
looking at the people around him and the
29:55
people maybe that aren't even quite
29:57
around him and really building up these
30:00
these leaders and these creators. And
30:02
you look at what he's done with
30:03
Imagineering and just how how different
30:06
that is than it was, you know, even 10
30:08
years ago. and and the empowerment to
30:12
innovate and to create new things, you
30:15
know, whether it's Olaf or or droids or,
30:19
you know, upgrading the Millennium
30:21
Falcon. Like, there's so many different
30:22
ideas that he's really leaning into and
30:25
I think that's a very exciting thing and
30:27
and I think he empowers people. So, I
30:29
think that will be great
30:30
>> and um it'll be a lot of fun to see what
30:32
he does. All right. Finally, we could
30:34
have gone a lot longer than that, but we
30:36
won't. Moana, the live action Moana
30:38
trailer has come out and we have gotten
30:40
to see what Maui looks like and um and
30:45
her grandmother and quite a few other
30:49
things from the movie. What do you think
30:50
of this? And um yeah, what do you think
30:53
of it?
30:54
>> Why?
30:56
>> Why
30:56
>> are we talking about Maui's hair or are
30:59
we talking the whole movie?
31:01
>> The entire movie.
31:01
>> Oh, okay. I thought we were talking
31:02
about his hair. Um, mainly because so
31:04
many of the elements are already like
31:06
digital or animated in nature. So like
31:08
Teiti, the Kakamura, the umh there was
31:13
oh uh the shiny crab. I was like this
31:16
just looks like the animated film. Um I
31:19
also don't think that it's long enough
31:23
away from the first Moana. This is only
31:25
10 years to be doing a live action
31:27
remake. um because it doesn't feel
31:30
warranted in my humble opinion. Um
31:35
>> you know why I think they're doing it
31:36
now?
31:37
>> They're wrong.
31:37
>> I think Dwayne Johnson really wanted to
31:39
be able to still do it live action if I
31:42
had to make a guess. Yeah. My I I don't
31:45
think there's anything necessarily for
31:47
or against this movie. It'll be what
31:49
it'll be. I think it'll be kind of like
31:51
Lion King or some of the more direct
31:55
translations from animated to live
31:57
actions that we've seen. And I don't see
32:00
them going artistic license off and
32:02
creating a new story for Moana. She
32:04
already had a really solid story.
32:06
>> And and I don't see them adding to
32:08
Maui's story or, you know, whoever. Um,
32:12
I I do I I do hope they do something
32:15
with his hair, though, cuz it just did
32:17
not look like it was supposed to be
32:19
there.
32:19
>> Maybe that's The Rock selling his
32:20
shampoo.
32:22
>> I don't know,
32:22
>> cuz he has a shampoo.
32:24
>> Um, I would like to see Fat Cat Swinger
32:27
Mo uh, You're Welcome in the end credits
32:29
of this movie though. I think that would
32:31
be fantastic. I think this movie will be
32:33
a lot of fun because I do think watching
32:38
Dwayne Johnson perform this is gonna be
32:40
hilarious.
32:41
>> Like I I do think that could be fun. Um
32:45
I don't think you're right. I don't
32:47
think there's a lot of risk. I also
32:48
don't think there's going to like I
32:51
think it's a lowrisk highreward
32:54
kind of smart thing to do. And and if I
32:58
was Bob Iger that was retiring at the
33:00
end of 26 or maybe earlier, I'd have
33:03
been like, "Hey, this is a nice either
33:05
gift to myself as I leave or gift to
33:07
whoever's coming in next to make sure
33:08
that the the balance sheet looks good
33:11
and the box office looks big." Because I
33:13
would guess it'll do very very well,
33:16
especially after how well Moana did,
33:18
Moana 2 did a couple years ago.
33:20
>> But uh we will see. And uh we've only
33:23
got a few months to figure that out
33:24
because I think it comes out in July if
33:26
I recall. Maybe July 10th, but I'm not
33:28
looking at the notes, but it'll be fun
33:30
to see. And um and there we go. Maybe
33:33
this will give Lin Manuel Miranda
33:35
another chance at an Oscar for Does it
33:38
count for an original song if it's not
33:39
original?
33:40
>> He said with a new song.
33:41
>> Oh, I'm sure there if there's a new
33:42
song. I hope there's a new song.
33:43
>> He said, "Yeah,
33:45
>> I I could see that." All right, it is
33:47
now the time of the show where we go to
33:55
Comments. Comments.
33:58
That is right. It is time for comments.
34:00
We will scroll back through these really
34:01
quickly and if you would like, you can
34:03
uh add more to the comments and we will
34:05
respond to those as well for the next
34:08
few minutes as I scroll back to the top.
34:11
Um, we did respond to a lot of these
34:13
because this was a very interactive show
34:15
tonight which was a lot of fun. Um, if
34:17
Blue become a photorealistic live-action
34:19
animal movie, which real life trained
34:21
dogs could portray Blueie and his family
34:23
and friends? Well, would you like to
34:25
answer that, Katie?
34:25
>> Indiana's bingo.
34:26
>> Oh, okay. I thought you were going to
34:28
say the actual breed. Um
34:30
>> Oh, well, they're blue healers.
34:32
>> Yeah. I was like, aren't they blue
34:34
healers? I don't think
34:35
>> No, they're literally blue healers. But
34:36
sorry, I I think that Indiana is a
34:39
little bit bingo.
34:39
>> You could have a cameo. Yeah, it'd be
34:41
fine.
34:42
>> Are you bingo?
34:44
>> There we go. Um,
34:47
whenever plays Super Smash Brothers
34:49
Animal Parks Arena, I can see the
34:50
raccoon in his animal. There you go. Um,
34:55
I remember being a junior conductor at
34:57
Disney World's Magic Kingdoms train
34:59
during the Christmas. That'd be fun.
35:00
Very cool.
35:02
>> Happy birthday, Infinite Ethan. I hope
35:04
you had a fantastic 23rd birthday. And
35:07
if you catch this later, if you hopped
35:09
off, but
35:10
>> hope number 23 is the best one yet.
35:13
Looking forward to 24. I'm sure it'll be
35:15
a blast. Um, what would it have been
35:18
like if Walt hadn't passed yet to see
35:20
Disney World being finished and opened
35:22
and made it to his hundreds? It'd be
35:24
very weird. I think
35:26
>> I think there would be even less classic
35:28
attractions than there are now. I think
35:30
things would be very different because
35:33
the thing about Walt is Walt was going
35:36
to go with Walt knew what Walt knew and
35:38
and that would be just an interesting
35:40
thing to see uh in this day and age
35:43
because
35:45
he would go with what he knew like and
35:47
yes you could throw facts and stuff at
35:49
him but it would be very interesting. I
35:51
don't know that anybody can really
35:52
predict a creative like that. um you can
35:55
guess things from the principles he had
35:57
and the the consistent things that he
36:00
did doing did do during his life but um
36:04
I don't think anybody can have the
36:08
corner of truth on the answer to what
36:10
would Walt do you think
36:13
>> like I don't know like um that was a
36:16
good question though uh Kingdom Hearts
36:18
photorealistic liveaction series be like
36:21
um I don't know that would be an
36:23
interesting thing too. I don't Yeah,
36:26
that would be
36:26
>> We need to play more Kingdom Hearts.
36:32
>> I'm just curious how they would do that
36:34
because we don't really have a live
36:35
action for some of these characters.
36:36
>> Yes.
36:37
>> Uh Star Wars episodes 10, 11, and 12.
36:40
I've heard rumors that they're
36:41
revisiting those ideas. I don't know if
36:43
John Williams would would still compose
36:45
because he's pretty close to retired, if
36:47
not completely retired, but um I' I've
36:51
heard very far off different rumbles
36:54
that they're revisiting them. I don't
36:56
know that they will actually ever
36:57
happen. It could be 100% of like, "Oh,
37:00
look at these ideas. These are fun." And
37:02
that could count as revisiting them for
37:03
all we know. But um yeah, who knows? Uh,
37:11
>> what attraction needs a seasonal overlay
37:13
the most?
37:14
>> Oh, that's a good question.
37:17
Obviously, Pirates of the Caribbean.
37:21
>> Maybe not. Uh, actually,
37:26
>> Millennium Falcon Smugglers.
37:27
>> I was going to say I want the Life
37:28
version overlay.
37:30
>> Yeah. Um, you could literally pull from
37:32
the the plot of the original holiday
37:35
special and I think that would be
37:37
hilarious.
37:38
>> That's excellent. Actually,
37:39
>> I I think that would be great. Um,
37:45
>> what's up?
37:46
>> 100% India is bingo. But could he be
37:48
Muffin? The answer is yes. Have you seen
37:51
the episode of Blueie where um Muffin
37:54
steals her dad's phone and runs around
37:56
with it and draws a cowboy hat on
37:58
herself while running away from her dad?
38:01
Cuz that is Indiana.
38:04
Um I really like this question. If Blue
38:06
sticks around, do you see the changes to
38:07
the Toontown train station? It's never
38:09
felt tied to Toontown. It's funny you
38:12
mentioned that because when we were at
38:14
the event on Saturday that literally
38:16
popped into my head is if this were to
38:19
take off and really become a big thing.
38:22
>> I could see that becoming a bluey minand
38:25
in that corner of the park.
38:28
>> Like I think you could like you wouldn't
38:30
really expand it that far, but you could
38:32
change kind of the architecture of
38:34
Trouidor Tavern. Maybe even the restroom
38:38
area maybe down in front of it a little
38:40
bit. Um, maybe obviously the train
38:43
station as well and then all the control
38:45
towers and all of that stuff. And I do
38:48
think you could make it feel like maybe
38:51
the train station is just behind the
38:53
park or behind the schoolyard or
38:55
something. Like I do think there's
38:56
there's a possibility for that. Um,
38:59
>> well, the funny thing I was thinking
39:00
when I was watching the shows, I was
39:02
like, "Oh, this music fits in so well
39:03
with the new Toontown VGM
39:05
>> because like it has that like whimsical
39:08
fun vibe." And I don't know if you saw
39:09
it, but they did this little Mickey
39:11
Mouse Bluey crossover short that was
39:13
pretty cool, too. So, you know, that's
39:15
already set the table for Bluey to visit
39:18
Toontown, I feel like.
39:19
>> It's true.
39:19
>> Um, and
39:22
my thought with that being, and this
39:24
could be quite
39:27
problematic slashcontroversial,
39:29
is if Blueie were to go to Toontown,
39:32
where would it go?
39:33
>> She'd go hang out at Mickey's house.
39:34
>> No, no. I mean like the franchise. Like,
39:37
if you're taking the whole show Okay.
39:38
>> And you're going to put it in Toontown.
39:40
Where would you put it?
39:44
>> I don't
39:45
>> I think you give Blueie a ride.
39:47
>> Yeah.
39:48
>> I think that ride replaces Roger Rad
39:50
Rabbit's cartoon spin.
39:51
>> Oh, I was going to say I mean I guess
39:53
Gadget's Go Coaster isn't that big of a
39:54
footprint, but
39:56
>> Well, Gadget's Go Coaster like what are
39:59
you you could change it to a Bluey
40:00
themed coaster, I guess.
40:01
>> The footprint isn't.
40:03
>> And it' be a game of Keepy Upy. That's
40:05
what it is. And it I don't know that it
40:07
would have enough um
40:09
>> rewritability.
40:10
>> Well, no capacity.
40:12
>> Sure.
40:13
>> Whereas Roger Rabbit can really eat up
40:16
people and it's not the youngest
40:20
franchise anymore.
40:21
>> I'm not signing off on this at all.
40:23
>> I'm not saying I'm signing off on this
40:24
either. I'm just thinking as a if I'm
40:26
Disney,
40:27
>> I just don't want to be
40:30
>> I don't know.
40:31
>> I'm a little afraid to even be here. I
40:33
personally would stick with Roger
40:34
Rabbit, but I can imagine a world where
40:36
they're like, "Hey, we could put this
40:38
really hot franchise that families,
40:41
young families, which is their focus,
40:43
will all love."
40:46
>> Or here's an idea.
40:48
>> I think the Chip Andale area is also,
40:50
you know, it's an area
40:51
>> Bingo and Blue become detectives and
40:54
they help Miss Jessica Rabbit.
40:56
>> There you go. Just double it up. Yeah.
40:59
Um, no, I just think if if you're gonna
41:03
I don't know. I I don't know that the
41:05
the
41:07
>> Yes, I agree.
41:08
>> I don't know.
41:09
>> I agree.
41:09
>> I can see it happening.
41:10
>> I agree.
41:12
>> That's why I'm staying away.
41:14
>> My job here is to analyze, guys. This is
41:17
what I do all day is I sit here and go,
41:19
what could happen? I think there's also
41:21
other spaces you could put it. Just
41:22
maybe not quite as close to the Fantasy
41:24
Land Theater because I do think you'd
41:26
want it close. Uh, but you know, you
41:28
could do a Bluey goes fishing in the old
41:31
motorboat uh water area.
41:36
>> Sure.
41:36
>> Well, it wouldn't be an attraction. It
41:38
would be just a whatever. All right, one
41:42
more question. If The Muppet Show could
41:43
one day have a Halloween special, which
41:45
I think they already do, um, which
41:47
celebrity would be the right guest?
41:49
Okay. So, for the Muppet Show, not uh
41:51
Muppets Haunted Mansion. Um, who would
41:54
you like to see for Muppet the Halloween
41:56
episode of The Muppet Show?
41:57
>> Jam Lee Curtis.
41:59
>> Oh, yeah. Done. All right. Uh, Chris has
42:02
a much more intricate idea for Toontown,
42:04
but it will be on Daps After Dark, which
42:06
is a perfect segue
42:09
to Katie.
42:10
>> Yeah. You want to you want to be part of
42:11
DAPS after dark? You want to pitch some
42:13
crazy ideas for Toontown? Uh, go to
42:16
dabsmagic.comdshq.
42:18
We have a post show. We'll probably do
42:19
it in like five or eight minutes or so.
42:22
>> Maybe even three. Who knows?
42:23
>> To say I can't make drinks that fast.
42:25
But uh come join us. It'll be a whole
42:28
