[00:00:28] Welcome to WDWNT, Walt Disney World News Today. This is Tom Corliss with you as always. Here to share all the secrets directly from the mouth of me, the Pope of Disney Parks, Tom Corliss. That's right. Just so we're clear, I'm Tom Corliss.
[00:00:50] We're here for a very special episode. It's the first of many things that we're going to be trying. We're going to have the guy with the wizard hat next week and also the person who seems to be like a mafia sort of organization. Anyway, they're next week. This week I'm joined by Adam the Woo and Chris Provost. We are having a roundtable discussion at the Round Table in West Huston Party Room.
[00:01:19] There's a little league waiting, a little league team waiting. They look increasingly impatient. So let's get to it. Let's start with, I already got to the introductions. I want to share with the listeners or the viewers and of course our live audience some thoughts about, I think it'd be good if we share sort of some positive vibes with each other. I just want to say, Chris, I'm a big fan of the show.
[00:01:48] I'm a big fan of your channel Fresh Baked. I think it's fantastic that you go around and everybody yells Fresh Baked at you. I love when you get into details about how many seconds every brick on the ground, every second that each brick constitutes in line. I think that that's very important research. So thank you for being here today.
[00:02:16] Well, thanks, Tom. I'm Chris Provost, Provost Park Pass. I just want to say Roundtable Pizza, the medieval themed pizza joint that proudly declares itself the last honest pizza, serving up a little bit of noble charm along the sauce and cheese.
[00:02:32] From the garlic parmesan twist to quality toppings, zesty red sauce with a punch, King Arthur's Supreme and loyalty to a classic buffet setup. Roundtable Pizza may not have the size or polish of other pizza joints, but it's got heart, flavor and garlic infused power.
[00:02:50] Yeah. And that's the kind of detail that the viewers and listeners really appreciate from you.
[00:02:57] And then we have Adam the Wu here as well. Chris, do you want to share any positive observations about Adam's work?
[00:03:04] Adam, I love that you're adventurous. You go off the beaten path and I love your exploration of lesser known areas.
[00:03:10] Yes. That's great.
[00:03:13] And like, for example, did you know on Main Street, there are smells on Main Street?
[00:03:18] They actually pump in smells.
[00:03:22] I did know that, actually. Thank you.
[00:03:23] They call them smellitizers.
[00:03:25] Right. Yeah. The smellitizers are, I mean, we all know a lot of things.
[00:03:31] We don't need to get into a missing contest because I will win.
[00:03:35] Adam, welcome. Do you have any good, actually, both of you, do you have any, any positive feedback thoughts about my, my, my content?
[00:03:44] Hey, thanks for inviting me.
[00:03:48] Yeah. You know, fun fact, you know, we don't have a haunted mansion holiday in, in Walt Disney World.
[00:03:58] Fun fact. Yeah.
[00:04:00] Well, I would say that's, that is, that probably makes it some people's estimation.
[00:04:05] I would imagine that that would make it the, some would say supreme.
[00:04:08] Yeah. It's probably, it's probably the supreme attraction because of that.
[00:04:12] Yeah. Yeah.
[00:04:13] I want to get, I want to get into it.
[00:04:17] That's, that's actually a topic of discussion.
[00:04:20] The Nightmare Before Christmas overlay.
[00:04:23] I, I have, I want to get talking about it.
[00:04:26] Is this overlay a part of the war on Christmas?
[00:04:31] I'll just go ahead and open it up to whoever has the first thoughts on that.
[00:04:35] You know what?
[00:04:37] Oh, oh, oh, oh.
[00:04:38] No, go ahead, Chris.
[00:04:39] Okay. Go ahead, Adam.
[00:04:40] No, Chris.
[00:04:41] Adam.
[00:04:42] Chris.
[00:04:42] I have thoughts too.
[00:04:44] I have a thought.
[00:04:45] Okay.
[00:04:45] Why did the ghost break up with their ghostly partner?
[00:04:49] Because the relationship was dead and they just couldn't move on.
[00:04:56] Thanks.
[00:04:56] Thanks, Chris.
[00:04:57] Okay.
[00:04:58] Is, do you think it, do you think this was part of the war on Christmas?
[00:05:01] Because a lot of my, a lot of people over on my Facebook group seem to believe that
[00:05:06] it is a, they frequently say that they, and oddly, they is always capitalized, are waging
[00:05:15] a war on Christmas.
[00:05:17] I want to know.
[00:05:18] You know, I, I, I, I think that, uh, you know, separate this, this attraction is separate
[00:05:24] from, uh, from the, the war on Christmas.
[00:05:29] There, there may or may not be a war on Christmas going on, but.
[00:05:32] Oh, there, there is.
[00:05:34] Okay.
[00:05:35] Uh, sure.
[00:05:36] Yeah.
[00:05:37] Well, uh, but you know what?
[00:05:38] Uh, Haunted Mansion Holiday, uh, it stands out in the park as a, it's a unique attraction.
[00:05:43] It's distinct from the traditional Christmas and Halloween offerings.
[00:05:48] And, um, you know, it's, it's different from the other, uh, festive overlays.
[00:05:54] Like, uh, it's a small world.
[00:05:55] Like they've, they've got their own thing.
[00:05:57] And, um, the, uh, the, the castle has its own decorations.
[00:06:01] I, I really don't get out to Disneyland that much, but, uh, you know what?
[00:06:06] But ultimately, uh, this doesn't replace traditional Christmas experiences.
[00:06:12] According to my commenters, it definitely does replace traditional Christmas values.
[00:06:17] Uh, in fact, I have.
[00:06:18] That kind of seems like a, I don't, I don't, I don't know.
[00:06:22] It seems like a West coast thing, uh, where, you know, here on the East coast, we're, you
[00:06:27] know, we appeal to families.
[00:06:28] We want families to, to visit the things and, uh, yeah, we want to have holiday alternatives
[00:06:34] for them.
[00:06:34] We want to have something that they can visit during the holidays.
[00:06:37] We don't have a, a nightmare before Christmas, Christmas holiday, uh, overlay.
[00:06:42] And, uh, yeah, I think that's fine.
[00:06:44] I want to share a comment from Christmas.
[00:06:46] I want to share a comment from mansion maven 77.
[00:06:50] Honestly, if they're going to push, uh, Christmas earlier and earlier and earlier, why stop at
[00:06:55] September?
[00:06:55] Why not make it a year round thing?
[00:06:57] I believe that would be fantastic.
[00:06:59] I think that that would actually be an offensive move in the war on Christmas to have Christmas
[00:07:05] win one of many fronts on the war on Christmas.
[00:07:09] Hmm.
[00:07:10] Uh, the war on Christmas, the eternal holiday battle.
[00:07:13] Hey, why did Santa enlist in the war on Christmas?
[00:07:17] Uh, why?
[00:07:18] Because he slays every time.
[00:07:20] Uh, I'm not capable of processing humor.
[00:07:24] I don't know if you've watched the, uh, WD, WNT live shows before, but, uh, I think, yeah.
[00:07:31] And I, I, I mean, I just don't quite get your joke.
[00:07:39] Slay.
[00:07:40] He rides in a slay.
[00:07:42] Slay.
[00:07:43] And slay.
[00:07:43] You can also, can also mean like kill.
[00:07:46] I have another comment here that says that, uh, if they overlay represents an erosion of
[00:07:52] holiday boundaries.
[00:07:53] And I, uh, I can't help but think that perhaps this is, you know, honestly, when I think about
[00:08:00] it, I think that the entire nightmare before Christmas overlay is a, it's a personal attack
[00:08:07] on me because, uh, I love the haunted mansion.
[00:08:11] And I think that, um, Disney leadership is trying to erode my love of the haunted mansion.
[00:08:19] I think that they are sending a message to me, Tom Corliss, that first of all, they know
[00:08:26] that I'm onto them and they know that I know that I, that they know that what I know.
[00:08:34] I, I mean, Tom, I, I mean, I think it, this, this appeals beyond, uh, just a single person's
[00:08:42] opinion or a single film.
[00:08:44] I mean, the haunted mansion holiday, uh, really should be appreciated for its references to
[00:08:52] the film nightmare before Christmas, but it doesn't really reference to the, the, the
[00:09:05] it's, it's just an interpretation of the haunted mansion without, you know, it's a haunted
[00:09:12] mansion thing, but it's not the same thing as, as what you're talking about.
[00:09:16] I don't think anybody's really looking at you.
[00:09:20] Well, I've never seen the movie that it's based on because I got a few minutes into it
[00:09:25] and it just scared me.
[00:09:27] So I had to turn it off.
[00:09:28] Too spooky.
[00:09:29] Too spooky for Tom.
[00:09:30] Yeah.
[00:09:31] I have some secrets revealed.
[00:09:36] How many?
[00:09:37] Go for it.
[00:09:37] Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
[00:09:40] I have a little known fact about the haunted mansion holiday.
[00:09:44] Here's a fun fact about a haunted mansion holiday.
[00:09:46] Did you know they do it every year?
[00:09:48] What?
[00:09:49] And since they started in 2001, the Imagineers have created a new custom gingerbread house
[00:09:55] for the volumes ballroom scene.
[00:09:57] These gingerbread houses often are massive over 500 pounds.
[00:10:04] That's, that's impressive.
[00:10:05] I do.
[00:10:06] A lot of pounds.
[00:10:07] That's a lot.
[00:10:07] Okay.
[00:10:08] Let's move on to the next topic.
[00:10:10] And yes, they're made of real gingerbread.
[00:10:13] Amanda and I love riding this ride.
[00:10:17] I would love to hear you two do a fun fact off.
[00:10:20] Uh, so, okay.
[00:10:22] Next, next topic.
[00:10:24] Uh, Casey corner napkins.
[00:10:26] Uh, we all, we had Casey's corners nap napkins.
[00:10:29] They replaced them with a, uh, an inferior product.
[00:10:34] Um, do you believe, do you agree with me that these napkins are cheap and soulless and
[00:10:40] they represent the existential rot in Disney leadership?
[00:10:46] Tom, uh, yes.
[00:10:49] If that's your name, right?
[00:10:52] Yes.
[00:10:52] I'm Tom Corliss.
[00:10:53] I want to make that very clear.
[00:10:54] I am Tom.
[00:10:55] Okay.
[00:10:56] Uh, a napkins, uh, a damn napkin.
[00:10:59] But a napkin actually can mean so much more.
[00:11:02] Did you know that I actually, and this is a true fact, have a collection of used napkins
[00:11:09] from all of my trips to Walt Disney world as well as Chris, do you have anything else
[00:11:13] to say about napkins?
[00:11:14] Because the napkins is a napkin, right?
[00:11:17] Well, I, I think you guys probably should know that I started my career in business.
[00:11:21] I was a businessman.
[00:11:23] I brought this chart and easel so I could explain to you.
[00:11:26] Oh, he's got the whiteboard.
[00:11:27] The value of a napkin.
[00:11:31] When you run a business, you need to look at all of your costs from operations to paint
[00:11:37] to how much money you're making when people come into the park.
[00:11:41] If you make napkins that are unique for every single restaurant, and there are over 140
[00:11:49] restaurants, you would have to have 140 different napkins.
[00:11:53] You'd have to pay for setup fees for each of the napkins and their font.
[00:11:56] So it's easier if you're running a mega corporation like the Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, having
[00:12:03] one style of napkin is the most efficient way of doing it.
[00:12:06] May not be the way we like it, but it's the best way to save money.
[00:12:12] I think as an avid napkin collector, though, I, I get where you're going with this, but
[00:12:16] as an avid napkin collector, and again, I really, I really want to belabor this point
[00:12:27] because it's absolutely true.
[00:12:28] I do have a collection of napkins and wrapping paper that they have used for various Disney
[00:12:37] foods throughout the years.
[00:12:39] I, I, I, this is a real thing.
[00:12:42] How many more times can I say napkins?
[00:12:43] I actually have it.
[00:12:45] Uh, but Chris, I, I see your point and, uh, I appreciate that you are, you come from the
[00:12:50] world of business.
[00:12:52] Uh, I, I just feel like having a unique napkin design for, or sorry, a unique, say Adam,
[00:13:00] a unique design for the napkins.
[00:13:03] Thank you.
[00:13:04] In each location, you can just pay your employees less and then you can offset the cost there.
[00:13:12] And I also can't help but wonder if napkins are capable of changing like this, is anything
[00:13:20] stable in our reality?
[00:13:23] Ah, Disney napkins.
[00:13:25] A surprisingly fascinating niche.
[00:13:28] Here's some quirky facts about these unassuming yet oddly collectible park essentials.
[00:13:33] They have iconic designs.
[00:13:36] They're often collectibles.
[00:13:38] Now that I think about it, Chris Provost may as well be AI.
[00:13:44] Exactly.
[00:13:50] Very few people know this.
[00:13:51] It's a single use mandate.
[00:13:53] It's a surprising efficiency move.
[00:13:56] Disney cast members are encouraged to hand out napkins sparingly, especially at quick service
[00:14:01] restaurants.
[00:14:02] There's a behind the scenes reason.
[00:14:04] It reduces both waste and cost.
[00:14:07] However, you can always ask for more if your dole whip gets out of hand.
[00:14:14] I often ask for more napkins when I need them.
[00:14:22] Just put a few extra napkins in your pocket.
[00:14:25] I'm sorry.
[00:14:26] You seem to have lost the hold that you had on that word before.
[00:14:30] Try it again.
[00:14:31] Napkins?
[00:14:32] There we go.
[00:14:32] Napkins.
[00:14:33] Napkins.
[00:14:34] Napkins.
[00:14:35] You know, here's some more secrets revealed about napkins.
[00:14:38] Disney occasionally hides little Easter eggs.
[00:14:42] Now, not real Easter eggs.
[00:14:44] No.
[00:14:44] They hide Easter eggs in their-
[00:14:45] They're too woke to celebrate the glory of Easter in their parks.
[00:14:50] Do they call it the spring rebirth furry mammal?
[00:14:58] What do they call it?
[00:15:00] Some holiday napkins feature tiny snowflakes or ornaments embedded into Mickey designs, while
[00:15:05] Halloween napkins might feature spooky hidden elements.
[00:15:08] Fans with keen eyes love spotting these details.
[00:15:13] So, I think at the root of this is a question that haunts me, I think nightly, if not several
[00:15:22] times throughout the day.
[00:15:24] Are we all just disposable-
[00:15:26] How often are you haunted about this?
[00:15:28] I'm sorry?
[00:15:29] How often are you haunted?
[00:15:32] At least once a day.
[00:15:33] I wake up screaming usually every night with this thought, are we all just disposable like
[00:15:41] napkins?
[00:15:46] I mean, I use napkins, but-
[00:15:50] All right.
[00:15:51] Well, like I said, Tom, they're trying to save money.
[00:15:54] Yeah.
[00:15:55] And-
[00:15:55] But did you know, because if they had to do special napkins for every restaurant, it would
[00:16:00] get way too expensive to go to Disney.
[00:16:03] Hey, by the way, have you noticed that Disney parks are over $100 to get in?
[00:16:10] Maybe now they can afford to buy Donald Duck some pants.
[00:16:13] Oh, God.
[00:16:15] I have a request.
[00:16:17] Chris, can you say the word video?
[00:16:22] Video?
[00:16:23] Thank you.
[00:16:24] And Adam, can you say napkins again?
[00:16:28] Napkins.
[00:16:29] There we go.
[00:16:30] Thank you.
[00:16:33] Video napkins.
[00:16:36] Video.
[00:16:37] Yeah, video.
[00:16:38] Video napkins.
[00:16:41] Okay, moving on to the next topic.
[00:16:43] No offense, anybody.
[00:16:45] Except for another person.
[00:16:48] I'm Tom Corliss.
[00:16:51] Moving on to the next topic.
[00:16:53] We all know that Tom Sawyer's Island is being replaced by the Cars rides, also replacing Rivers
[00:16:59] of America.
[00:17:01] Do you both agree that this is vindication for when I was lost in the caves at the tender
[00:17:08] age of eight years old?
[00:17:10] Tom, you know, I don't know what happened when you were lost in the caves.
[00:17:15] It was terrifying.
[00:17:17] I was screaming.
[00:17:20] Once again, I knew my pants.
[00:17:22] It kind of speaks to that Tom Sawyer Island wasn't that well attended.
[00:17:32] If you had screamed when there were a lot of people there, they would have found you.
[00:17:35] Right.
[00:17:36] And if Disney cared about me, or rather, if they were to use their obsessive obsession
[00:17:44] with me as a person to increase the staffing to prevent an eight-year-old me, myself, Tom
[00:17:51] Corliss, that's who I am, from getting lost in the caves, then that would have helped.
[00:17:57] You know, given the limited retail estate in the Magic Kingdom, turning this area into a Cars
[00:18:04] associated attraction sounds like a good idea.
[00:18:07] Oh, I agree.
[00:18:08] It is a good idea because it's vindication for the time that I was lost in the scary caves.
[00:18:16] Oh, so you were lost in the caves and that justifies what now?
[00:18:21] Yes.
[00:18:21] Well, I predicted it back then that this would happen, that the Walt Disney Company would,
[00:18:28] you know, feel the profound guilt that they should have felt at the time.
[00:18:33] So the Cars Pixar franchise.
[00:18:36] That was created specifically so that they could destroy the Rivers of America and Tom Sawyer's
[00:18:45] Island to atone for the time that they failed me, a young eight-year-old Tom Corliss, afraid
[00:18:52] in the caves.
[00:18:53] You wouldn't have bought the merchandise?
[00:18:55] Pied my pants.
[00:18:56] Come on, you would have bought the merchandise.
[00:18:57] I bought all the merchandise.
[00:19:01] I have a collection of all the merchandise.
[00:19:04] Tom, are you referring to the tunnels and caves that don't go anywhere?
[00:19:09] In my latest video, while Tom Sawyer's Island is all about exploration, some paths and caves
[00:19:15] are designed to loop around and end abruptly to heighten the sense of getting lost.
[00:19:20] The tunnel labyrinths are dead-end caves.
[00:19:23] And to add a playful frustration, embodying with chaotic energy of classic Disney storytelling,
[00:19:29] some caves contain echo chambers and hidden effects that surprise guests when they least expect
[00:19:35] it.
[00:19:35] I do love echo chambers.
[00:19:37] However, the confusion and the nightmare, it was too much.
[00:19:46] And I'm glad they're going.
[00:19:51] But of course, before they go-
[00:19:54] Compared to the Disneyland, what's going on over there?
[00:19:59] Are they removing the whole thing?
[00:20:01] Well, no, because I was never lost in those caves.
[00:20:03] So they're keeping it.
[00:20:04] Oh, okay.
[00:20:05] You didn't get lost in them.
[00:20:07] So they're-
[00:20:07] Why is this about you?
[00:20:10] Why wouldn't it be about me?
[00:20:16] Moving on.
[00:20:18] The next topic-
[00:20:19] Tom, I have a question.
[00:20:20] Why did Tom Sawyer Island get kicked off his own island?
[00:20:24] Tom Sawyer get kicked off on his own island.
[00:20:27] Because he kept whitewashing the truth.
[00:20:32] That one's good.
[00:20:33] I like that one.
[00:20:34] I don't get it.
[00:20:37] I don't either.
[00:20:39] A lot of my-
[00:20:40] A lot of the users on my-
[00:20:43] The comment boards have noted, though, that they are upset that they have never used the-
[00:20:50] They've never used the theming of Tom Sawyer's island to have rampant use of the N-word on that island.
[00:20:58] Because-
[00:20:58] I don't think that's a good idea, Tom.
[00:21:00] Well, my comment-
[00:21:02] I don't either, of course.
[00:21:04] But, like, 80% of my commenters seem to think that that is what they should have done from the very beginning.
[00:21:11] Tom?
[00:21:12] Yep?
[00:21:12] Do you-
[00:21:14] Do you really-
[00:21:15] Do you really listen to them?
[00:21:19] Well, I don't moderate them.
[00:21:21] I don't want to limit what they're saying.
[00:21:24] Unless they argue with each other to stop each other from saying those things.
[00:21:29] In that case, that is hateful speech.
[00:21:33] Chris, how many racist people on your chat?
[00:21:37] Oh, they're not-
[00:21:38] Hold on.
[00:21:39] They're not racist.
[00:21:39] They're just-
[00:21:40] No, no, no, no, no.
[00:21:41] They have traditional views.
[00:21:43] Tom, stop talking.
[00:21:43] Tom, no.
[00:21:44] Chris, how many racists?
[00:21:48] It seems minimal.
[00:21:49] I think, guys, I want to take a moment.
[00:21:52] Oh, okay.
[00:21:52] And I want to tell you, the listener, that you are special.
[00:21:57] I know.
[00:21:58] Now, you may be listening to this with someone else, and I want you to look at them and realize,
[00:22:04] I'm not talking to you.
[00:22:05] I'm talking to them.
[00:22:08] You are special.
[00:22:09] But you're also talking to me.
[00:22:10] And you're not racist.
[00:22:13] That's right.
[00:22:13] And I think that you are so important to this life.
[00:22:18] I agree.
[00:22:18] And to this world, and to my channel.
[00:22:20] And Amanda and I love you, and we care about you.
[00:22:24] No, no, no, not you.
[00:22:25] You.
[00:22:26] I also care about you and your daughter.
[00:22:28] Thank you very much.
[00:22:33] Tom and Chris, I think it's a-
[00:22:36] I'm not in charge of this channel, but I think it's a great time for a quick
[00:22:41] ebrick.
[00:22:49] Don't forget to watch WWNT Saturday Night Live crap.
[00:22:56] It's where me and a bunch of other humorless people dressed like, what's his name, John Lasseter,
[00:23:04] make really, really hilarious jokes that are extremely topical about Disney parks, which
[00:23:13] everyone will enjoy.
[00:23:14] Anyway, there's no writer's room, which means the best comedy possible.
[00:23:22] Check out the CBS show, The Summit.
[00:23:26] It's like Survivor, but on a mountain.
[00:23:32] And then tune in to Provost Park Pass, where I go into Secrets Revealed.
[00:23:37] Like, here's an example.
[00:23:39] Did you know that Disney parks offers extra magic hours?
[00:23:43] That's right.
[00:23:44] If you can't get enough of Disney fun during your stay at one of the parks, then you should
[00:23:48] consider taking advantage of their extra magic hours.
[00:23:51] And even the occasional extra, extra magic hours.
[00:23:56] Disney World's website explains that guests of Disney Resort and hotels can spend extra time
[00:24:01] in one of the theme parks each day before it opens or after it closes.
[00:24:06] Those are the fun facts, secrets revealed, you can get from my next video at Provost Park Pass.
[00:24:16] I love that we all shared that ad break.
[00:24:20] Your attention, please.
[00:24:26] I was hoping to look for my code for Factor so that people can sign up and get me free.
[00:24:33] Oh, well.
[00:24:37] It's WWMT.
[00:24:39] Just put it into any code that you find.
[00:24:44] Coralist69.
[00:24:45] Okay, so now we're back.
[00:24:47] It looks like the Little League team is getting increasingly impatient.
[00:24:50] Hey, Adam.
[00:24:51] Yeah?
[00:24:51] Oh, that's you.
[00:24:53] Adam.
[00:24:55] Which is the funniest Disney princess?
[00:24:59] I don't know.
[00:25:00] Which is?
[00:25:02] Rapunzel.
[00:25:03] I don't know that I agree with that.
[00:25:06] You know, there is one Cinderella at the Magic Kingdom that has started to run when she sees me.
[00:25:17] And I don't know why.
[00:25:18] What do you mean one Cinderella?
[00:25:20] There is only one Cinderella.
[00:25:23] That's true.
[00:25:23] Okay.
[00:25:23] That's true.
[00:25:28] Okay.
[00:25:29] So, our main topic for today.
[00:25:31] Speaking of Cinderella.
[00:25:32] Yes.
[00:25:32] What Disney princess would make the best judge?
[00:25:37] Huh.
[00:25:38] It's Snow White.
[00:25:39] Because she's the fairest one of all.
[00:25:42] Ah.
[00:25:42] I was going to say that there is one, another Snow White.
[00:25:47] I think she also does Cinderella.
[00:25:49] But I think they might just talk to each other.
[00:25:51] There's only one Snow White.
[00:25:53] Right.
[00:25:53] Right.
[00:25:53] But I think they have decided to no longer want to take pictures with me.
[00:26:00] I'm Tom Corliss.
[00:26:01] Anyway, our main topic.
[00:26:03] Dapper.
[00:26:04] So, a princess runs away from you, Tom?
[00:26:09] Yeah.
[00:26:11] Is it because you're-
[00:26:13] What's next?
[00:26:14] I've got a lightning line for John coming up soon.
[00:26:17] Is it because you're very unappealing to look at?
[00:26:19] Coming up soon.
[00:26:21] I think it's-
[00:26:22] I think it could be because I may have asked a few of them to marry me.
[00:26:32] Over time.
[00:26:33] Ah, been there.
[00:26:34] Oh, yeah.
[00:26:35] No, not a good idea.
[00:26:36] And I did marry my princess.
[00:26:39] That's-
[00:26:40] Oh, you're married.
[00:26:42] I thought that was your daughter.
[00:26:44] Okay.
[00:26:44] Who, Amanda?
[00:26:46] Yeah.
[00:26:47] She's my wife.
[00:26:48] Oh.
[00:26:49] Oh, Tom.
[00:26:51] Sealed for time and all eternity.
[00:26:53] So, if there are any-
[00:26:57] So, if there are any podcasts who have made that joke, they should probably stop making that joke.
[00:27:07] What joke?
[00:27:08] We should stop making that joke.
[00:27:09] What joke are you talking about?
[00:27:11] Oh, I have a joke.
[00:27:12] You guys thought of joke?
[00:27:13] Okay, good.
[00:27:13] Oh, good.
[00:27:14] What's Peter Pan's favorite place to eat?
[00:27:18] Let's see.
[00:27:20] Neverland Ranch.
[00:27:21] Wendy's.
[00:27:22] Oh, of course.
[00:27:26] That's not good.
[00:27:27] Tom gets it.
[00:27:27] Tom gets it.
[00:27:28] Okay.
[00:27:28] I like you.
[00:27:30] I really enjoy your-
[00:27:31] And just so we're clear, Adam the Woo, you're on the Daily Woo, and Chris Provost, you are on Best Life and Beyond?
[00:27:39] Is that what-
[00:27:40] Is that the-
[00:27:41] I'm Chris Provost from Provost Park Pass.
[00:27:43] Oh.
[00:27:43] In my latest video, I go into some details that are some little-known facts that you may not know.
[00:27:49] Some secrets revealed.
[00:27:51] Like, did you know that there are tunnels under Magic Kingdom at Disney World?
[00:27:55] I know a lot about tunnels.
[00:27:57] There are secret tunnels.
[00:27:59] I'm Adam the Woo, and I live in Celebration, and I have great respect for myself.
[00:28:07] What's that like?
[00:28:11] It's awesome.
[00:28:13] Let me tell you.
[00:28:15] Once again, I'm Tom Carlin.
[00:28:17] So our final topic is Dapper Day.
[00:28:21] So just to get the conversation started, is Dapper Day just gay days for straight people?
[00:28:28] You know, it seems like Dapper Day started out-
[00:28:33] Fun fact.
[00:28:34] Dapper Day started out in 2011.
[00:28:37] Yeah.
[00:28:38] Justin Jorgensen was the fellow who really kind of kicked it off, and he wanted to create an occasion for Disney guests to step out in style.
[00:28:48] And really, all of this was an idea to get people to show up to the parks dressed like they were in that original intro to Disney World with Ronald Reagan and look like they were hanging out with Ronald Reagan.
[00:29:10] I think that was the initial point.
[00:29:12] Adam, it sounds like you've watched one of my Secrets Revealed videos.
[00:29:16] Was Ronald Reagan at the opening of Disney World?
[00:29:20] He sure-
[00:29:21] No, not Disney World.
[00:29:22] No, Disneyland.
[00:29:23] Oh, okay.
[00:29:24] Yeah, we've continued on the tradition at Walt Disney World, and Disneyland Paris has even done a few Dapper Days over the years.
[00:29:32] Aren't the French Dapper by default, though?
[00:29:35] You know what?
[00:29:36] You would think so, but the French really prefer smoking and baguettes.
[00:29:43] Well, I don't know if you've seen all of my videos on Provost Park Pass, but you know I love Dapper Day.
[00:29:50] I'm Dapper every day.
[00:29:53] I'm Dapper up top, and I'm party on the bottom.
[00:29:56] That's true.
[00:29:57] Usually, I wear shorts, but not too short because I don't want everybody to see my special underwear.
[00:30:06] I've met Chris in the parks, and he doesn't always wear shorts that long.
[00:30:16] Chris is indeed a bit of a fashion mullet.
[00:30:19] Party on the front and party on the top.
[00:30:22] Sorry, business on the top and party on the front.
[00:30:24] That's right.
[00:30:25] Fashion mullet.
[00:30:26] All right.
[00:30:27] Well, yeah, but Dapper Days, show up to the parks.
[00:30:31] It's not very specific.
[00:30:32] You could show up wearing a greaser outfit, or you could show up wearing an outfit from the 1920s.
[00:30:39] No one really cares, but we often have a conflagration in places where you can buy additional garb.
[00:30:53] I'm not sure what I'm saying right now.
[00:30:55] I'm looking at the Disneyland portion where you can go to the convention center.
[00:31:00] Right?
[00:31:01] Right?
[00:31:01] And there's no special tickets?
[00:31:03] You could just...
[00:31:03] No.
[00:31:04] No, it's just a fan event.
[00:31:06] You can just join it.
[00:31:08] Shall you?
[00:31:09] Yeah.
[00:31:10] Shall you?
[00:31:10] Hey, guys.
[00:31:11] Shall you?
[00:31:12] Why did the Dapper Day guest...
[00:31:13] I should have said that earlier.
[00:31:15] That's fine.
[00:31:16] Hey, why did the Dapper Day guest get kicked out of the Haunted Mansion?
[00:31:22] Because they were overdressed to kill.
[00:31:28] You should be a writer for...
[00:31:30] But at Disneyland, they usually have a place where you can buy additional clothing if you really want to.
[00:31:35] No.
[00:31:36] Yeah.
[00:31:36] And they won't kick you out if you're not dressed like a fancy person.
[00:31:41] I think they should.
[00:31:43] But that's fine.
[00:31:45] I don't think so.
[00:31:46] I mean...
[00:31:47] No.
[00:31:49] It's not announced.
[00:31:50] And it's not an official event.
[00:31:52] It's just a fan thing.
[00:31:55] It's not...
[00:31:56] Now, this is also not cosplaying necessarily, although I'm sure there is some amount of that going on.
[00:32:02] It's bounding.
[00:32:03] It's Disney bounding.
[00:32:05] Is it done?
[00:32:07] If you're not dressed...
[00:32:08] It's Disney bounding, but it's fine.
[00:32:10] Are you...
[00:32:10] But does it count as bounding?
[00:32:11] It's 50s bounding.
[00:32:13] Yeah.
[00:32:14] I think it's opening day bounding.
[00:32:18] Just wear a tie.
[00:32:20] Like Chris.
[00:32:21] Just a tie.
[00:32:23] Nothing else.
[00:32:25] No, you should wear more clothing than that.
[00:32:27] I'm sorry.
[00:32:30] You know what?
[00:32:30] I have a piping hot caffeinated beverage right here.
[00:32:36] And let me just take a sip and get centered again.
[00:32:40] This is piping hot.
[00:32:42] Oh, there it is.
[00:32:45] Well, in my next video about Secrets Revealed Dapper Days...
[00:32:51] Yeah, the 50s and 60s was a different time when even a trip to the supermarket might involve gloves and a sharp hat.
[00:32:57] But it seemed the parks designers were aiming to position a visit to these amusement venues as being a par with a night on the opera.
[00:33:10] Sometimes you can just go wearing a leather jacket.
[00:33:15] So, I also think that possibly this is an organized event that is organized and designed specifically to confuse me and make me think that I am a time traveler.
[00:33:26] What do you think?
[00:33:29] I mean, it doesn't necessarily revolve around you, Tom.
[00:33:33] I mean, it's something that...
[00:33:34] It absolutely does.
[00:33:38] That's like one of...
[00:33:39] Chris is over there in one of his jokes.
[00:33:41] That's funny.
[00:33:42] Wow.
[00:33:47] Revolving carousel of progress.
[00:33:50] You know what?
[00:33:50] Most people like Dapper Days.
[00:33:51] They like to see people who are wearing something a little bit different.
[00:33:54] And I think they enjoy that.
[00:33:57] What do you think, Chris?
[00:33:58] Have you ever gone to the parks on Dapper Days?
[00:34:04] Every day for me is Dapper Day.
[00:34:07] Okay, that's fair.
[00:34:09] But Tom said something about one of my jokes.
[00:34:11] Speaking of which, what do you call a droid that likes taking the scenic route?
[00:34:18] An R2D tour.
[00:34:22] You know, I really enjoy that.
[00:34:26] Why is that child outside the window giving me the finger?
[00:34:30] I do think...
[00:34:31] We know you were at...
[00:34:33] Are you in the parks right now?
[00:34:35] No, we're together.
[00:34:36] We're at Roundtable Pizza.
[00:34:38] Roundtable in West Tustin.
[00:34:39] Oh, that's right.
[00:34:40] I'm sorry.
[00:34:41] I forgot where we are.
[00:34:42] Would you like to know more about Roundtable Pizza?
[00:34:46] Tell me about Roundtable Pizza in Tustin.
[00:34:50] I think that those parents are looking increasingly angry.
[00:34:54] I really do think that this team lost.
[00:34:57] And I think it was a big game.
[00:34:58] So, I think maybe we've covered everything we need to cover.
[00:35:03] And they do seem to be...
[00:35:05] Yep, they are definitely rolling up their sleeves like they're in a cartoon.
[00:35:11] Ready to pound us.
[00:35:12] Did you know that the fountain in Celebration doesn't really start until 7 a.m.?
[00:35:18] Oh, that's interesting.
[00:35:20] Yeah, every video I have, it's not on yet.
[00:35:24] Sorry, what you have?
[00:35:27] Video.
[00:35:29] What?
[00:35:30] Video.
[00:35:31] Oh, video.
[00:35:32] Okay.
[00:35:33] Oh, I'm sorry.
[00:35:34] I don't speak Utah.
[00:35:36] All right.
[00:35:37] Speaking of things that few people know, more secrets revealed.
[00:35:42] Did you know that Walt Disney had an apartment above Disneyland?
[00:35:46] Yeah, we all know about that.
[00:35:48] Oh.
[00:35:49] That's right.
[00:35:51] Walking down Main Street, be sure to look up the second floor right above the fire building.
[00:35:56] You can see a little light inside the window.
[00:35:59] That means Walt Disney's there watching over us.
[00:36:02] I thought that that meant that I am in the park.
[00:36:05] Because every time I'm in the park, I see the light on.
[00:36:08] Folks, just rent a boat next time you're there.
[00:36:12] Here, best experience, don't use your tickets, don't go into the parks, rent a boat.
[00:36:17] It's actually not bad.
[00:36:19] It's a great idea.
[00:36:21] Rent a boat.
[00:36:24] Well, speaking of renting things, this rental of the Round Table Pizza party room is coming to a close.
[00:36:33] And the Little League team does look increasingly upset.
[00:36:40] But I can't help it.
[00:36:43] I mean, they really do.
[00:36:45] They look like they're related to Bob Iger and Bob JPEG.
[00:36:50] I just...
[00:36:51] Wait, both together?
[00:36:52] Did they have children together?
[00:36:54] Well, I believe that they did consider doing that specifically to upset me.
[00:37:01] Oh, to prepare for the CEO that you were not invited to be.
[00:37:06] That's right.
[00:37:06] And I should be.
[00:37:07] Hang on.
[00:37:08] That's a little bit of a burn because you weren't invited to be a CEO.
[00:37:11] Let me slurp loudly in the microphone.
[00:37:14] Yep.
[00:37:14] Here we go.
[00:37:15] While he's slurping, I want to tell you some more secrets revealed about Round Table Pizza.
[00:37:20] That timeless medieval ambiance.
[00:37:23] Round Table Pizza locations have a distinctive throwback vibe.
[00:37:27] Complete with medieval decor, faux castle walls, and occasionally even a tapestry or two.
[00:37:33] It's quirky, it's old school, and it's gloriously out of step with the times.
[00:37:38] Just like you, Tom.
[00:37:40] And speaking...
[00:37:40] It makes every visit feel like you're entering a kingdom devoted to pizza and pitchers of soda.
[00:37:46] And speaking of kingdoms, there is a podcast network out there that I have come to really enjoy
[00:37:52] that is not my own.
[00:37:54] But I...
[00:37:56] Wait, you enjoy something that's not yours?
[00:37:58] Is it the podcast collective where they have the hub crawl and Bowie-splaining?
[00:38:04] Well, there is that one.
[00:38:05] I do enjoy those when I'm not...
[00:38:10] After I'm done screaming into the void, I have a few scant minutes of clarity.
[00:38:18] I will enjoy content that soothes me like the angry gorilla that I am.
[00:38:27] And those are a few of them.
[00:38:30] There's also the Ears Up Podcast Network.
[00:38:32] They have shows like Peony Pod is a show where they talk about small things,
[00:38:40] and they also talk about Marvel movies in order with no spoilers.
[00:38:47] There's also the Supreme Resort is something that I enjoy.
[00:38:50] I'm considering legal action currently based on what I'm hearing.
[00:38:54] I'm Tom Corliss.
[00:38:57] And...
[00:38:58] Please.
[00:38:58] Yes, please.
[00:38:59] Please.
[00:39:00] I want to please consider legal action because that would be funny for them.
[00:39:06] And...
[00:39:06] Tom, I've heard of the Supreme Resort.
[00:39:08] Yeah?
[00:39:08] It's a really fun podcast where they tell lots of secrets revealed.
[00:39:12] Also, one of the hosts also hates the Beatles.
[00:39:16] And did you know another secret revealed that the Beatles broke up at Walt Disney World?
[00:39:22] That's right.
[00:39:23] John Lennon signed the breakup letter at the Polynesian Resort.
[00:39:27] In room 12B.
[00:39:30] Hmm.
[00:39:31] I wonder if another secrets revealed that there are no letters on the room numbers in the parks.
[00:39:38] You can also listen to Ears Up.
[00:39:41] Let's pretend Ears Up In Depth is still a thing because that's funny for me.
[00:39:47] And...
[00:39:47] Is Jeremy your best friend, Tom?
[00:39:50] I have very few friends, if I'm being honest.
[00:39:53] I pay most of them to be hangers-on in the WD, WNT universe.
[00:40:01] I am friends with the timeshare guy with the wizard hat because I want to believe that that's true.
[00:40:07] Oh, Dave.
[00:40:07] Okay.
[00:40:08] Yeah.
[00:40:08] Yeah.
[00:40:10] I have an AP.
[00:40:11] I don't really work with him.
[00:40:13] Okay.
[00:40:15] I live in Celebration.
[00:40:16] It's fine.
[00:40:17] And if you don't live in Celebration, or even if you do, and you want to plan a trip to any of the Disney parks,
[00:40:23] you can call 856-R-EARS.
[00:40:27] Press 1 if Chris is sexy, 2 if he's handsome, and you can also communicate with a concierge there who can plan your vacation.
[00:40:40] You can even plan a vacation to Disneyland Resort, Walt Disney World Resort, or Disneyland Paris.
[00:40:46] And you might see Chris or Adam in the parks.
[00:40:52] I rarely go anymore.
[00:40:54] I'm just here with my toys.
[00:40:57] Well, Tom, you definitely go when there's food involved.
[00:41:00] I don't know what you're implying.
[00:41:03] I generally like to send the weird guy with the cowboy hat out to cover that.
[00:41:09] I find him delightful.
[00:41:10] Some people say he's creepy.
[00:41:12] I don't.
[00:41:13] I think he's great.
[00:41:14] And also, occasionally, I will go to new things and talk about them with Assistant Tom.
[00:41:22] Who I believe his name is Eric.
[00:41:24] And he will defer to my opinion.
[00:41:26] And I really enjoy that.
[00:41:27] It's very fun.
[00:41:29] Anyway.
[00:41:29] Hey, it's Eric.
[00:41:30] Yep.
[00:41:32] Yeah.
[00:41:32] That's me.
[00:41:33] Whoa.
[00:41:34] When did he get here?
[00:41:35] I've been sitting here all the time.
[00:41:37] I'm pressing the buttons.
[00:41:39] Ignore him.
[00:41:40] Do not look him in the eye.
[00:41:43] You too.
[00:41:44] Tom.
[00:41:44] Tom.
[00:41:45] I think I prefer Eric over Tom.
[00:41:49] Well, with that said.
[00:41:51] It's time for Eric to rise.
[00:41:56] There appears to be a fight breaking out amongst the dads in the Little League team.
[00:42:02] So, we're going to.
[00:42:04] And yeah.
[00:42:05] The staff has started to awkwardly pick up all of our pictures of Root Beer.
[00:42:10] And even though they're full.
[00:42:12] Did you know that when you're in Frontierland in Walt Disney World, most people don't really connect with the Western theme.
[00:42:19] It's probably better to replace that theme with a car's themed experience.
[00:42:25] Okay.
[00:42:28] Do you know that Lightning McLean's car number is 95?
[00:42:31] That represents the year that Pixar made its first fully animated computer video.
[00:42:38] And that was called Toy Story.
[00:42:41] That's a fun fact.
[00:42:43] I like that.
[00:42:44] Did you know?
[00:42:44] I recently got a Dole Whip and I took out my portable weight.
[00:42:50] My portable scale.
[00:42:52] Scale.
[00:42:53] Thank you.
[00:42:54] Yeah.
[00:42:54] And it was a half an ounce lighter than what I usually get from them.
[00:42:59] For my time in business, I know it's probably best to start.
[00:43:03] Maybe Americans need a little too much.
[00:43:06] And perhaps a little bit less.
[00:43:08] Maybe a little less waste.
[00:43:10] And a little more money in Disney's pocket.
[00:43:13] Okay.
[00:43:14] I agree.
[00:43:17] So, Chris is clearly a plant by the Disney Corporation.
[00:43:21] So, let's cut off his mic.
[00:43:24] Adam, we live close by.
[00:43:26] I really wish you would reach out so we could be best friends and hang out.
[00:43:31] Tom, thank you for inviting me.
[00:43:34] I never want to repeat this experience.
[00:43:38] Thank you.
[00:43:39] Speaking of too much Dole Whip, why did Tigger's head get stuck in the toilet?
[00:43:44] Because he was looking for poo.
[00:43:50] Okay.
[00:43:51] Daily Woo.
[00:43:53] The Daily Woo.
[00:43:55] Please, please watch.
[00:43:58] Don't listen to the others.
[00:44:02] All right.
[00:44:03] Well, this is a bonus episode.
[00:44:06] So, we're sorry.
[00:44:09] And I'm Chris Provost from Provost Park Pass.
[00:44:11] I'm definitely Tom Corliss.
[00:44:14] Did you know that there are Mickey Mouses hidden all over the parks?
[00:44:17] And I'm Eric impersonating Adam the Woo.
[00:44:28] Whoa.
[00:44:29] Okay.
[00:44:32] Goodbye.
[00:44:33] Bye.
[00:44:42] Hey, also, there are real bones in the Pirates of the Caribbean.
[00:44:47] You mentioned Ears Up Podcast earlier.
[00:44:49] It was on Ears Up Podcast that your long-lost brother, Jason, Tom, announced that.
[00:44:59] And that's the sole reason we all know that there are real bones in Pirates.
[00:45:07] Yeah, turns out it's not true.
[00:45:14] Oh, aren't you going to say your catchphrase?
[00:45:15] Here, I'll say your catchphrase for you.
[00:45:17] Fresh break.
[00:45:18] The vlog is over.
[00:45:22] Secrets revealed.
[00:45:27] I hit record on my soundboard, but here we go.
[00:45:31] All right.
[00:45:31] So the thing that confuses me about Dapper Days is that.
[00:45:37] Let's be clear who you are right now.
[00:45:39] I am Rico.
[00:45:44] Eric.
[00:45:44] You're Eric not from.
[00:45:45] Eric Johnson.
[00:45:46] WDWNC, but Eric Johnson from Supreme Resort.
[00:45:50] I'm Tom Corliss doing an impersonation of Dan from the Supreme Resort.
[00:45:53] Ears Up.
[00:45:56] And the one that you talk about, the roundtable one.
[00:46:00] You guys want a hot dog?
[00:46:02] Hub crawl.
[00:46:02] Hub crawl.
[00:46:03] And a hot dog.
[00:46:04] That's Eric.
[00:46:05] Yeah.
[00:46:06] Anyway.
[00:46:07] So, just for context, after we stopped recording, the three of us sort of started talking more
[00:46:15] about Dapper Day out of character.
[00:46:17] There's not a whole lot to go into, but this is stuff that I think none of us would have felt
[00:46:24] comfortable channeling through our character because we wouldn't know how to.
[00:46:28] So, welcome to the Maggie Easter egg.
[00:46:31] We need to be sincere at some point.
[00:46:33] Yeah.
[00:46:34] So, Dan, specifically because I didn't know what it was.
[00:46:38] I showed up one day at Disneyland and it must have been one of the first because I think
[00:46:42] the first one was in 2011.
[00:46:44] And this guy is a designer.
[00:46:47] His name is Justin Jorgensen.
[00:46:48] He's actually a former Imagineer.
[00:46:51] Oh, okay.
[00:46:52] I did not know that.
[00:46:53] Yeah.
[00:46:54] He founded the Dapper Day.
[00:46:57] He's an LA designer.
[00:46:58] He moved from Fargo, North Carolina.
[00:47:00] North Dakota.
[00:47:01] Excuse me.
[00:47:03] Yeah.
[00:47:04] Fargo.
[00:47:04] He's like, I want to be able to just dress up and not everybody look at me.
[00:47:07] I like dressing up.
[00:47:08] I mean, Dan, I'm not proud of it, but I used to wear a sport coat and a banded collared
[00:47:13] shirt to Disneyland all the time.
[00:47:14] I liked it.
[00:47:15] I'd be wearing a sport jacket.
[00:47:17] Yeah.
[00:47:17] Yeah.
[00:47:19] Yeah.
[00:47:19] Yeah.
[00:47:20] So he just like, I want to do this.
[00:47:21] And the first one was at Disneyland.
[00:47:23] Now it's evolved.
[00:47:24] It's not just at the Disney parks, but it's kind of all over the place.
[00:47:27] It's Disney world now.
[00:47:28] It's Disneyland.
[00:47:30] And it's sort of, I think it's conceptually adjacent to the Mr. Toad petition.
[00:47:41] Yeah.
[00:47:41] The Toad ends where it's like, here's this thing that wouldn't have possibly existed without
[00:47:46] social media and without just fans being weird, fun fans, you know?
[00:47:54] I don't personally, I, I go, I keep coming back to this thing that I think I said one time
[00:48:04] on Dan hates the Beatles, which is that hipsters ruin everything.
[00:48:08] Um, and I can't just aesthetically, I think it's hard for me to not look at it through that
[00:48:15] lens, but like, I also own completely own that.
[00:48:20] This is me, you know, yucking someone else's yum on some level, you know?
[00:48:28] So, um, yeah, Dapper Days.
[00:48:31] Um, it's a thing and it's just a way to, it's, it's, it's, it's like being, uh, Paul F.
[00:48:38] Tompkins.
[00:48:38] He's dressed every day.
[00:48:40] Oh.
[00:48:41] Yes.
[00:48:41] This is how he dresses all the time.
[00:48:44] Yeah.
[00:48:44] It's just interesting to me because they don't really stick to a theme, like a particular
[00:48:50] era.
[00:48:51] No.
[00:48:52] And they like to do it in the winter times.
[00:48:53] It's easier to, to layer, you know, it's cooler.
[00:48:56] Yeah.
[00:48:56] And I've seen this at, at Disney world and Disneyland.
[00:49:00] And yeah, in some cases it's, it's almost Victorian.
[00:49:06] Yeah.
[00:49:06] It just depends on what you're into.
[00:49:08] Well, sometimes it's, it is, it is, I think Victorian in spirit across the board.
[00:49:15] It's, it says it's your chance to step out in style.
[00:49:18] That's what it's right.
[00:49:19] I mean, in concept, like, like not that everyone's dressed up in Victorian style.
[00:49:24] I just mean that the whole concept of it is very in the Victorian spirit of like, Hey,
[00:49:31] I'm going to go all out with fancy.
[00:49:35] I'm just going to the market.
[00:49:38] Right.
[00:49:38] Right.
[00:49:39] I'm off to market.
[00:49:40] And you know, it, it does harken back to a time when, I mean, things are, were just
[00:49:46] better.
[00:49:47] Right guys.
[00:49:47] I mean, come on.
[00:49:52] Make a, anyway, they have events like November, a couple of weeks, November 3rd, nothing going
[00:50:00] on around there.
[00:50:02] There's the fall outing at Disneyland.
[00:50:04] They even have a pop-up shop, like an actual store that you could buy dapper clothing at
[00:50:09] Grand Californian that's sponsored by Dapper Days.
[00:50:13] It's a whole thing.
[00:50:14] It's a whole brand.
[00:50:16] Huh?
[00:50:16] Yeah.
[00:50:17] That's, what's interesting is the, the involvement of other areas.
[00:50:23] So getting the convention center involved and things like that, like you can, you can buy
[00:50:30] additional garments.
[00:50:31] You can look into something like this, but with it not being so well-defined, what, what are
[00:50:36] you buying?
[00:50:37] I, I, I honestly don't know.
[00:50:39] I don't, I, I've never really done this.
[00:50:42] It's just a way to go out and dress up.
[00:50:44] Okay.
[00:50:44] Like you want to dress up, wear, wear your sport coat, suit and tie, big band era, Victorian,
[00:50:50] whatever you want.
[00:50:50] You want to, some people just like to dress up and look nice.
[00:50:53] I get it.
[00:50:54] And they don't want to, they don't want people to look at them funny.
[00:50:56] Right.
[00:50:57] But if it's the fifties and I show up in like a Fonzie, like leather jacket and I, you know,
[00:51:05] smash a jukebox.
[00:51:07] I don't think it's about nostalgia.
[00:51:09] The mainstream jukebox.
[00:51:09] I think it's just whatever your style is.
[00:51:12] Okay.
[00:51:13] You can't do it wrong.
[00:51:14] I think is the point.
[00:51:16] Okay.
[00:51:16] It's just not wearing shorts and a t-shirt, which is kind of the modern day theme park garb.
[00:51:21] It's I think Dan kind of nailed it.
[00:51:23] Or one of you is like, imagine opening day at Disneyland.
[00:51:26] Like everybody will dressed up high heels, suit and tie.
[00:51:30] I don't want to go too far into this, but it does go too far.
[00:51:40] Let's see what happens.
[00:51:41] Um, cause I don't necessarily, I don't spend a lot of time with this concern, but that could
[00:51:50] also be kind of indicative of where the luxuries that I have as a white male.
[00:51:58] Right.
[00:51:59] Um, it, it, but, um, the nature of nostalgia is an interesting thing, right?
[00:52:08] Because it imagines a time that is a little bit.
[00:52:15] Maybe, maybe here's where I think you're going with it is nostalgia doesn't necessarily mean
[00:52:22] better.
[00:52:23] Right.
[00:52:25] Right.
[00:52:26] Just because I'm dressing up this way doesn't mean it's a, it's a better time.
[00:52:29] That's fair.
[00:52:30] Yeah.
[00:52:31] I, I, I, I'm really trying not to go all the way into, into a place where I'm trying
[00:52:39] to be like, well, you're, you're not taking into account the societal blah, blah, blah.
[00:52:44] Um, cause I mean, it can be a fun thing, but I think that there's, and I'm not trying
[00:52:50] to say that anyone who does this is, you know, it's like not an indictment of them
[00:52:55] or anything like that, but when we get into, when we get into the idea of it being inclusive,
[00:53:07] there is a limit to that to some extent just built into it being what it is and focused
[00:53:17] on a certain kind of nostalgia.
[00:53:19] Hmm.
[00:53:22] Well, I suppose, I think that perhaps everyone dressed in a certain way in every era.
[00:53:31] Okay.
[00:53:32] Yeah.
[00:53:33] But.
[00:53:35] Does it feel limited to a certain race or class?
[00:53:40] I think by definition it's limited to a certain class.
[00:53:43] Parts wearing a banded t-shirt and the shortest shorts you've ever shorted.
[00:53:48] Right.
[00:53:50] I think, I think by, I think by, by the way, those shorts, not short enough.
[00:53:54] Um, I, I, I, again, I'm, I'm trying to not be that person while also introducing that
[00:54:03] person's argument, which I think is, has some validity to it.
[00:54:07] Um, I agree with you.
[00:54:09] Yeah.
[00:54:09] Yeah.
[00:54:10] Which is, um, by, by design, there are certain classes currently that may not be able to
[00:54:22] afford to play along and maybe they want to, but it, but that's, that's, that's fine.
[00:54:28] I'm just, I'm just trying to make this whole view a little bit more objective.
[00:54:35] Um, and.
[00:54:36] I don't know that the intent of it is.
[00:54:38] No, God, no, no, no, not that at all.
[00:54:41] Um, but it does have that effect, you know?
[00:54:44] Um, and again, not by intent, just that's just, I guess it's, it's, it's one thing to
[00:54:51] say, Hey, Dapper days, it's fun when it's all.
[00:54:55] Okay.
[00:54:55] I'm going to talk about this from my own personal experience.
[00:54:58] There was a time.
[00:54:59] I'm ready.
[00:55:00] I'm ready to do the same.
[00:55:01] So go for it.
[00:55:03] Currently, if I wanted to participate in Dapper Day at a level that I want, that I thought
[00:55:11] was adequate for myself, I would be able to do that.
[00:55:14] However, there was a time some, you know, years ago, or maybe even a couple of years ago
[00:55:21] when I absolutely wouldn't be able to do that.
[00:55:23] And I would walk, I would walk around and be like, Oh, I'm.
[00:55:30] And again, it's, nobody's obligated to include me.
[00:55:33] That's not what I'm getting at.
[00:55:35] It's just that if we're going to talk about this, there, there is another side to all of
[00:55:39] this.
[00:55:40] Um, and it, it does, it does point out that, Oh, here are people who are more connected
[00:55:47] with social media more there.
[00:55:48] It seems like they're having more fun that I am limit that there's a limitation to that
[00:55:54] fun for whatever reason, uh, available to me.
[00:55:58] Right.
[00:55:58] I'm not saying that I'm not, I'm not saying that's, that's why, that's why we should end
[00:56:03] Dapper Day.
[00:56:04] Anything like that.
[00:56:05] I'm just saying like, Hey, let's also include another point of view.
[00:56:10] Dapper Day is fun.
[00:56:11] It's great.
[00:56:11] I think people should have that fun.
[00:56:13] And I think that though there is another side to it and I'm just, I'm just that asshole
[00:56:19] who always has to ruin these things for people.
[00:56:23] Do you find that the, the gangs of Disneyland are exclusionary for the same reason?
[00:56:29] They have their own uniform.
[00:56:31] They have their matching bests, whatever.
[00:56:33] I mean, they're exclusionary by definition.
[00:56:35] I think more, more by definition than Dapper Day.
[00:56:38] Dapper Day is just a fun thing that people do, you know?
[00:56:41] Yeah.
[00:56:41] Anyone can do.
[00:56:43] That's interesting.
[00:56:44] And it's, it's like Disney bounding.
[00:56:46] Yeah.
[00:56:47] How much it like, it's more than it's not as organized as the gangs and it's not, it's,
[00:56:57] it isn't even beholden to Dapper Days.
[00:57:00] It's I'm going to show up wearing a yellow shirt and red shorts and I'm going to pretend
[00:57:07] to be kind of Winnie the Pooh.
[00:57:10] Yeah.
[00:57:10] Yeah.
[00:57:11] I guess, really, I guess my point is I'm not, we live in this broken era of communication
[00:57:19] where I'm almost certain a lot of people listening to this part of it are like, Oh, dance, anti
[00:57:27] Dapper Day or whatever.
[00:57:28] No, I don't think you are.
[00:57:30] That's not, that's not where I'm at.
[00:57:31] I'm just trying to say that like, I guess it's another way to view it.
[00:57:37] And this isn't even a necessarily bad thing.
[00:57:40] It did, but it is like social peacocking in a way to be like, Hey, I'm, I, I am capable.
[00:57:49] I am able to do this.
[00:57:51] You know, I don't think so.
[00:57:52] I don't think that that's the intent, but that is, that is, couldn't you go to a thrift
[00:57:56] store and just buy a bunch of stuff for really inexpensive and put it together and make your
[00:58:01] own little dapper outfit.
[00:58:02] So there you go.
[00:58:04] This is, this is what I did.
[00:58:07] I'm, I'm, I'm budding in here.
[00:58:08] Please.
[00:58:09] This is what I did at Hollywood studios last week.
[00:58:12] I wanted to Batu bound for the first time.
[00:58:17] And I've talked to Ryan, uh, shout out to RGH.
[00:58:22] Uh, I I've talked to Ryan about this a bunch and you mean the hotel room stealer.
[00:58:32] I gifted him that hotel room.
[00:58:34] I'm okay.
[00:58:35] And I'm happy that he has it.
[00:58:38] You can stay with them.
[00:58:40] I can add you to the reservation.
[00:58:42] Ooh, that would be awkward.
[00:58:44] Hey, remember that game we played with a single writer?
[00:58:47] You could be single writer for the hotel room.
[00:58:49] By the way, here's Dan.
[00:58:53] Dan didn't come with clothes.
[00:58:55] He's naked.
[00:58:56] Just wearing a tie.
[00:58:57] Cause it's dapper day.
[00:59:00] Where is he wearing the tie?
[00:59:02] Use your imagination.
[00:59:06] Yeah.
[00:59:07] Anyway, I, I, I went to the parks for the first time in a bounding costume and it was, it was interesting because I got flagged at security.
[00:59:22] And because I'm wearing basically like, imagine a Han Solo with like, you know, a belt and a, you know, a bandolier like sort of thing.
[00:59:33] Nothing, nothing, nothing too big.
[00:59:35] Like I just had a, I had like a, I had a leather, a fake leather holster with no gun, anything like that.
[00:59:42] But, but still I got flagged at security.
[00:59:45] And the security person said, Oh, I bet you're used to this.
[00:59:50] Oh, that's interesting.
[00:59:52] Right.
[00:59:52] Like, and I'm like, yeah, it's fine.
[00:59:55] There's, I have nothing on me.
[00:59:56] I'm just wearing fancy stuff.
[00:59:59] He's just wearing a bandolier.
[01:00:00] Everybody.
[01:00:00] Right.
[01:00:01] Everybody else is walking in here and their backpack is full of, you know, squeeze pouches for their children.
[01:00:09] And my backpack is, uh, has a battery for charging my phone and my, my magic band plus so that I can play the bounty hunter game.
[01:00:21] But, but in the parks, it was so interesting that, uh, I, you know, there we go.
[01:00:33] Thank you for the picture.
[01:00:34] Yeah.
[01:00:34] It's going to be our show image.
[01:00:36] There we go.
[01:00:37] All right.
[01:00:38] I will send you the full sized image if you want that one.
[01:00:42] Um, you know, it's, it, it was just, there, there weren't, there was, there were very few people doing the same thing.
[01:00:50] But when I got to Oga's Cantina in the, in the late afternoon, what, that was when things kind of opened up for me because before that it was like, Oh, Hey, uh, where is tattooing traders?
[01:01:04] I'm like, Oh, it's, you have to leave the park.
[01:01:06] You have to leave the part of the park.
[01:01:08] People are asking you for, they thought you were an employee.
[01:01:11] Yeah.
[01:01:12] And, and literally a little girl came up and said, where's tattooing traders?
[01:01:16] And I said, Oh, you have to go back to, um, uh, to star tours.
[01:01:22] Eric.
[01:01:22] And it's right next to star tours.
[01:01:23] Eric.
[01:01:24] Eric.
[01:01:24] Why did you not say you have to go off world?
[01:01:29] Because I was deliberately not being a creep and pretending to be in world.
[01:01:34] Did you say bright suns?
[01:01:35] And did you point with two fingers?
[01:01:37] No.
[01:01:38] Well, I did.
[01:01:38] I, I put it with two fingers.
[01:01:42] Damn me.
[01:01:43] Damn you.
[01:01:45] But, um, but yeah, like this, this girl's mom said, Oh, I don't think he works here.
[01:01:50] And I said, yeah, I'm sorry.
[01:01:51] I don't work here, but I live.
[01:01:55] Tatooine traders is outside of galaxy's edge.
[01:01:59] I did not do it in character.
[01:02:00] I completely broke character and said, go back out outside of this area and go back to star tours.
[01:02:06] Wait, you just said you broke character.
[01:02:08] So you were in character at some point.
[01:02:13] Damn the hell of you.
[01:02:15] Damn the hell of you.
[01:02:16] No, you stopped.
[01:02:17] That's the name of the episode.
[01:02:20] The title of the episode.
[01:02:21] Damn the hell of you.
[01:02:23] Um, when I was Eric, I just want to make it clear.
[01:02:27] You 100% open that door all on your own.
[01:02:32] I broke character.
[01:02:38] So, um, I think just a couple of things.
[01:02:41] Um, provost park pass is a YouTube channel.
[01:02:45] Chris provost is a lovely man.
[01:02:46] I'm sure.
[01:02:47] I personally am jealous of the man because if I could get paid to do what he does, I would 100% do it.
[01:02:54] Um, he has a lovely wife that for a long time I thought was his daughter because they seem separate ages.
[01:03:01] Right.
[01:03:01] Um, and so they are mad.
[01:03:03] So that, that, that joke is, is actually born from something because I thought the same thing.
[01:03:10] Yes.
[01:03:10] So, uh, a lovely person, um, and, and, you know, quite frankly, I'm jealous.
[01:03:16] Although I do find that, and guys, just your input on this.
[01:03:20] When you have a channel, a YouTube channel that, that catches.
[01:03:24] That makes some kind of following interest or whatever.
[01:03:29] You're obligated to try to continue to increase your likes, subscribers, whatever, especially because it's your income.
[01:03:37] Right.
[01:03:38] So you have to put out content in order to maintain that level to, if that's your exclusive income, you have to do that.
[01:03:44] Right.
[01:03:44] Right.
[01:03:45] So people choose to, maybe they get a little bit on the, you know, controversial side or just do things clickbait.
[01:03:52] Right.
[01:03:52] Right.
[01:03:53] So I see that all.
[01:03:54] I spend more time on YouTube than I care to.
[01:03:56] Chris Provost does not do that.
[01:03:59] He, he is always positive.
[01:04:01] He's always looking for something that is interesting.
[01:04:03] A lot of times it's for us, you know, Uber nerds, it's, you know, commonplace knowledge, but he does get into some deeper stuff.
[01:04:10] But what I've found as the, the channel continues to, continues to proceed that, you know, like he went to Yellowstone with his family and basically he walked by a sign.
[01:04:23] It was one of those signs about a thing.
[01:04:25] And he would regurgitate the sign as though it's this really cool fact that he's known about.
[01:04:30] And it's like, I guess you just got to get content and your family's going on vacation.
[01:04:34] Why not?
[01:04:34] Right.
[01:04:35] Yeah.
[01:04:35] It's a point.
[01:04:36] The well is like, the well is limited.
[01:04:39] It's not like they're building a new ride every like three days or anything.
[01:04:42] See the Supreme resort.
[01:04:44] Right.
[01:04:44] So then like, and then you've got WDWNT, which is, you know, it's always going to have content as long as there's Disney news.
[01:04:52] Well, and I think it's partially because he talks about every little stupid thing.
[01:04:58] Yeah.
[01:04:58] This week there's this new dessert, whatever.
[01:05:01] And it's, it's just news, Disney news, right?
[01:05:04] They painted the rails at this place.
[01:05:07] Yeah.
[01:05:07] And there's, there's an audience for it clearly.
[01:05:09] Yeah.
[01:05:10] But the person who runs that channel is narcissistic to the core.
[01:05:18] And so for those of you listening who do not know who Tom Corliss is, it's just everything is about him.
[01:05:24] He is 100% narcissistic.
[01:05:27] And it's just, it's hard to watch because it just, he goes on these rants like it's an affront to him because they changed something.
[01:05:35] And he'll go on for 45 minutes about why it's an affront to him personally because they changed the color of the railing or whatever it is.
[01:05:45] And it's just, it's, it's hard to watch.
[01:05:47] I don't know Adam the woo.
[01:05:49] I enjoy Adam the woo very much.
[01:05:51] Adam, Adam is, is pretty great.
[01:05:53] And Dan sent me some additional videos to, to listen to over the last couple of days.
[01:05:59] But, but yeah, like Adam's great.
[01:06:01] Chris is, is pretty great as well.
[01:06:05] I'm not comfortable about a lot of the impersonations when it comes to things like this, but Tom kind of deserves it.
[01:06:18] And Adam and Chris, I hope that if they ever listen to this are at least lightly pleased by it because they, they deserve,
[01:06:29] like they're good.
[01:06:31] They're good people.
[01:06:32] They put up good content.
[01:06:34] Tom is just this weird paranoid person and I kind of don't care.
[01:06:38] Yeah.
[01:06:39] And come at us.
[01:06:41] Also, more context.
[01:06:44] I'm, I grew up in Utah and I grew up as a Mormon and I'm not for sure,
[01:06:49] but I'm pretty sure that Chris is either Mormon lives in Utah and or both or ex Mormon or something like that.
[01:06:58] That's a, I made some, for those who know some of the references I made, you know, if you know, you know.
[01:07:03] Yeah.
[01:07:04] Provost strikes me as first of all, a very fun, interesting person who the character may sometimes be a bit much for me,
[01:07:14] but overall I enjoy his content.
[01:07:17] He's just trying to, he's just trying to get clicks in some of his, his extreme moments.
[01:07:23] Yeah.
[01:07:23] Right.
[01:07:25] And Adam, I, I, I, I think I mentally, I kind of nailed who I think he is when I was watching some of his videos for Eric.
[01:07:35] I was like, Oh, he's Heelhauser.
[01:07:37] Like he's like a Gen X Heelhauser who actually like is sincere in his appreciation of everything with the hint of like Anthony Bourdain and like Hunter S Thompson ish sort of energy.
[01:07:50] But like overall he's just an, he's a dude who's just fascinated by stuff and it's, it's, it's great.
[01:07:57] I love that.
[01:07:58] And he wants to tell people about it.
[01:08:00] And that's, that's what I really respect is that he's telling people these facts and that's kind of what we're doing here.
[01:08:09] Yeah.
[01:08:10] And we're just, it just so happens that Eric's voice sounds almost exactly like Adam the Woods.
[01:08:16] So.
[01:08:16] Okay.
[01:08:17] Well.
[01:08:20] It'll move to celebration.
[01:08:22] And there you go.
[01:08:22] When you say facts, do you mean facts like Disney used to potentially have a theme park in Missouri?
[01:08:29] Oh yeah.
[01:08:31] For example.
[01:08:32] But yeah, Tom Corliss can suck it.
[01:08:35] And I, his lawyers can quote me on that.
[01:08:41] His lawyers.
[01:08:43] That's what's coming at us.
[01:08:44] Yes.
[01:08:45] In two weeks.
[01:08:46] It'd be so fun.
[01:08:47] It would be so fun.
[01:08:48] It would be fun.
[01:08:50] I, yeah, I, I, as, as much as I wanted to have a little more content for this, this was just fun.
[01:08:57] So.
[01:08:58] Yeah.
[01:08:58] It wasn't.
[01:08:58] Thank you for the concept, Dan.
[01:09:00] Thank you.
[01:09:01] Thank you for listening.
[01:09:02] It's an extra episode.
[01:09:03] It's just something that you can listen to.
[01:09:04] Yes.
[01:09:05] Happy Halloween.
[01:09:07] This is different from the other Halloween episodes.
[01:09:10] When we really pretended this was real.
[01:09:14] Yes.
[01:09:14] Kind of.
[01:09:15] Had no one listened to it.
[01:09:16] I cackled constantly at Jimmy's thing.
[01:09:20] And hey, you know.
[01:09:21] Why did Captain Hook cross the road?
[01:09:25] To shop at the second hand store.
[01:09:27] Oh my God.
[01:09:28] What did Lego Elsa sing?
[01:09:30] Lego.
[01:09:32] Lego.
[01:09:33] How does Darth Vader greet visitors to Disneyland?
[01:09:36] Welcome to the park side.
[01:09:39] I do have to hand it to Chris provost.
[01:09:42] He comes up with these jokes on the spot.
[01:09:45] Yeah, he sure does.
[01:09:46] And he knows how bad they are.
[01:09:49] And I enjoy that.
[01:09:52] Also, Jimmy, I meant to ask you.
[01:09:54] And I still haven't.
[01:09:55] But so I'm going to do it while we're recording.
[01:09:57] You mentioned some time ago that there was this channel that you watched.
[01:10:02] That right before the pandemic, the shutdown, they were talking about how like, we finally have enough viewers that we can like, this can be our full-time income.
[01:10:13] And was that them?
[01:10:15] Was that the provost?
[01:10:16] Oh my God.
[01:10:17] That was it.
[01:10:18] That's insane.
[01:10:20] Yeah.
[01:10:21] He made a big announcement.
[01:10:22] And yeah, this is, we're going to try this and we think we can do it.
[01:10:27] And it was right before COVID shutdown.
[01:10:29] And he's done it.
[01:10:30] He's got people.
[01:10:32] Yeah.
[01:10:32] And I count myself one of them.
[01:10:35] Yeah, I appreciate him.
[01:10:36] And you know, hey, if you know Chris provost, if you are Chris provost, you might think I'm not talking to you, but I'm talking to you.
[01:10:45] We would love to have provost.
[01:10:48] Yeah.
[01:10:49] Basically, we would love to have any of these people except maybe Tom.
[01:10:54] Yeah, probably not Tom.
[01:10:55] Although it would be funny.
[01:10:58] I don't have a lot of days.
[01:10:59] Should I try to get Adam and Chris on the next Hub Crawl?
[01:11:04] What the hell?
[01:11:07] Why does Hub Crawl have to be an employer?
[01:11:10] Eric.
[01:11:13] Just because this Hub Crawl has more listeners doesn't mean.
[01:11:16] You should have them on Bowie's planning.
[01:11:16] No, it does not.
[01:11:17] It does not.
[01:11:19] By any stretch.
[01:11:22] I think you should have them on.
[01:11:23] All right.
[01:11:23] You should have them on Bowie's planning.
[01:11:30] For a band competition.
[01:11:32] All right.
[01:11:33] Jimmy, you want to count us out here?
[01:11:36] In what way?
[01:11:38] The normal way that you end a show.
[01:11:41] Sure.
[01:11:41] Yeah.
[01:11:41] Ready?
[01:11:42] What do you call Elsa when she locked herself in her room for years?
[01:11:49] Ice elated.
[01:11:52] Until next time, ladies and gentlemen.
[01:11:54] Concierge 856-Hour Ears.
[01:11:56] You can book anywhere you want.
[01:11:57] We just had a recent listener.
[01:11:59] Not even a listener.
[01:12:00] Somebody wants to go to Disneyland Paris.
[01:12:01] I used to have a lot of it, I thought.
[01:12:03] Man, hold on.
[01:12:04] I haven't said the thing yet.
[01:12:07] She Googled Disneyland Paris vacation planner.
[01:12:10] She uses that vacation planner for Disneyland, even though she knows it well.
[01:12:13] She just goes, because, you know, hey, I'm going to pay the same amount anyway.
[01:12:16] I'm going to go with my buddy.
[01:12:18] But she wanted someone who had been to Disneyland Paris before.
[01:12:22] And so she Googled concierge and we were the first one that popped up.
[01:12:26] And Lindsay said, hey, we have a Disneyland Paris plan who wants to talk to somebody who's been.
[01:12:31] And I had a great like hour and a half conversation with her and their booking.
[01:12:36] So 856-Hour Ears, concierge.com.
[01:12:39] If you want to go to Disneyland Paris, I'm your guy.
[01:12:43] Until next time, ladies and gentlemen, be good to each other.
[01:12:47] Except Tom Corliss.
[01:12:48] And court is adjourned.
[01:13:06] Why did Goofy stare at the label on the orange juice all day?
[01:13:10] Because the carton said, concentrate.
[01:13:25] Who else is excited for election day?
[01:13:28] Oh my God.
[01:13:28] I got to stop, Dan.
[01:13:30] Yeah.
[01:13:32] I should stop too.
[01:13:33] I also should stop.
