- Disneyland Has Found A New Place To Sell Star Wars Merchandise, But The Location Is Heartbreaking
- https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2554789/disneyland-has-found-a-new-place-to-sell-star-wars-merchandise-with-the-park-closed-but-the-location-is-heartbreaking?fbclid=IwAR188pWzXVqSM0Tu4ufQ5ZdYcWE70ubR-uHhSggSCmSK0YjckBBXgg8hzo8

- Disneyland Resort has been almost entirely closed for more than six months now. Only the Downtown Disney district is currently open to guests, and even that is only available to a limited number of guests due to capacity restrictions. Disney has lost millions upon millions of dollars in tickets, food, and merchandise sales due to being closed, and so you can certainly understand any decision that the resort makes to try to bolster what business is currently being done. To that end, Disney has found a new spot to sell merchandise that has previously been exclusive to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. This is great news for those that can’t visit the theme park, but bad news if you’re a fan of great Disney art because the location chosen for the pop-up merch stand is Downtown Disney’s WonderGround Gallery.
- WonderGround Gallery has previously been the home of Disney themed art made by independent artists. The art is there to enjoy if you just want to look, but of course, it’s always there for purchase as well if you see something you like.
- Several theme park related media sites, including Touring Plans revealed that all the Disney art has been taken off the walls of Wonderground Gallery, and in its place is merchandise that was previously exclusive to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Because of the design of Galaxy’s Edge, and the attempt at full immersion that Batuu tries to create, the merchandise for sale there isn’t available in any gift shops outside of Galaxy’s Edge. The idea is that everything you can buy there is from an artisan who lives on Batuu, However, it seems that under the circumstances, exceptions are being made.
- It’s not too hard to understand why this change was made. With Disneyland closed nobody can buy Galaxy’s Edge merchandise and there are certain to be a lot of people who would do just that if they could. And since WonderGround’s stock-in-trade is art, which is frequently not cheap, the income per square foot of WonderGround was probably on the low side compared to most other Downtown Disney locations.
- This is almost certainly a temporary situation. Once Disneyland is able to reopen then the normal Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge merchandise locations will also be available, and the WonderGround Gallery can go back to being an art gallery. The transition away from being the gallery happened overnight, and so hopefully the shift back can be just as quick. This is just one more reason that day can’t come soon enough.
- Disneyland Revealed: The Fascinating Story of Jingles in the Heart of the Park

- Though it lacks the flash and innovation of many Disney Parks rides, many agree that Fantasyland’s King Arthur Carrousel is a vital part of Disneyland and its history. As the story goes, Walt Disney came up with the idea of building what would eventually become Disneyland while sitting on a bench watching his daughters riding the Merry-Go-Round at Griffith Park in Los Angeles. He wanted to create a park that both children and adults could enjoy together.
- Disneyland’s King Arthur Carrousel was originally made by a company in Canada and then shipped to California in 1954. Disney’s Imagineers had to do major refurbishments to the ride to meet Walt’s vision, eventually replacing all of the animals on it, which included zebras, giraffes, and lions. Of the 72 galloping horses that ended up on the carousel on opening day, only one was painted white. By 1975, all the other brown, gray, and tan colored horses were repainted white with different color schemes. All of the horses were also then given names. To this day, you can still head to City Hall on Main Street and get a copy of all of their names.
- Walt‘s favorite horse, however, was named Jingles. As the Lead Horse, she’s located on the outer row of the carousel and was named after all the jingle bells that decorate her saddle. After going through a number of refreshes over the years, Jingles was given a more luxurious makeover in 2008 getting accented with gold leaf paint and given Mary Poppins theming after being dedicated to the film’s lead, Julie Andrews.
- Special elements to look for on the horse are the image of a flying Mary Poppins, the initials JA (for Julie Andrews), and the character’s umbrella on the saddle blanket of the horse. There’s also a Hidden Mickey comprised of three jewels to be found.
- So the next time you make a mad dash to one of the newer more exciting rides at Disneyland, make some time to enjoy King Arthur Carrousel. And remember to give Jingles a little love as a tribute to Walt and his dream of creating a place for all to enjoy.

- The first ever virtual 2020 Emmys Awards is set for this weekend, but as is tradition, a few statues have already been handed out. The Creative Arts Emmys, which honor the costumers, production designers, visual effects artists, makeup and hair stylists, and other craftspeople who bring television to life, took place on Wednesday night. One of the big winners was The Mandalorian, thanks in no small part to the wonder of “Baby Yoda.”
- Competing against Netflix’s Lost in Space and Stranger Things, along with HBO’s Watchmen and Westworld, the first major Disney Plus series took home the award for Outstanding Special Visual Effects, specifically for work accomplished in episode 2, “The Child.” The award went to a number of the show’s visual effects artists, including VFX supervisors Richard Bluff, Jason Porter, and Hayden Jones, VFX producer Abbigail Keller, animation supervisor Hal Hickel, special effects supervisor Roy Cancino, supervisor John Rosengrant, environment supervisor Enrico Damm, and virtual production visualization supervisor Landis Fields. The effects in The Mandalorian stretch from those tiny details with the Child all the way to the backdrops — many of which were designed using the Unreal engine.
- Along with the visual effects award, The Mandalorian also received accolades for Outstanding Production Design for a Narrative Program (Half-Hour) for “Chapter 1: The Mandalorian”; Outstanding Sound Editing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) or Animation for “Chapter 1: The Mandalorian”; Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (Half-Hour) or Animation for “Chapter 2: The Child”; and Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series (Half-Hour) for “Chapter 7: The Reckoning.”
- The other networks didn’t go empty-handed: HBO picked up five Creative Arts Emmys between Watchmen and Succession, while Netflix came out on top with wins for Stranger Things, The Crown, and The Ranch. A full list of winners is available on the Emmys website.
- The Mandalorian may not be done charting the awards path just yet: The series is set to compete for Outstanding Drama when the traditional Emmys ceremony airs on Sunday, Sept. 20. The second season of the series will premiere on Oct. 30.
- The Mandalorian Star Reportedly Quit The Show Halfway Through Season 2

- After months of radio silence, the promotional campaign for The Mandalorian has kicked up several gears over the last couple of weeks. The premiere date was revealed along with a new logo – then a batch of official images arrived, and the set was completed with the debut of the first trailer earlier this week.
- From the outside looking in, everything seems to be pretty rosy surrounding Mando and Baby Yoda’s latest adventure, but there’ve been murmurings of behind the scenes discontent bubbling just below the surface for a while. It was rumored a few weeks back that the show had encountered some pretty serious problems and now, insider Grace Randolph has claimed that leading man Pedro Pascal left the production halfway through shooting.
- According to her, Pascal had numerous disagreements with the creative team and went to the studio behind their backs to plead his case, which allegedly resulted in the former Game of Thrones star being given his marching orders.
- “While filming Season 2 Pedro Pascal really wanted to have some scenes with his helmet off,” says Randolph. “The Mandalorian creative team wouldn’t budge on this. So Pedro Pascal, from what I’ve heard from two sources now, was frustrated about this and also was pretty darn uncomfortable in the Mando suit on set. So, he became difficult.
- And the final straw, even though he was difficult to be around on set, the final straw was that he went to Lucasfilm, from what I’ve heard from my sources, to try and get them to intervene on his behalf. And you combine that with Lucasfilm already trying to get involved with story aspects of Season 2, which I’ve also heard. Including focusing more on standalone episodes rather than making them more connected, which I’ve heard The Mandalorian creative team wanted to do, which was kind of happening at the end of Season 1. So, when Pedro Pascal went to Lucasfilm, the Mando team was like, ‘You know what, you should just go’. And Pedro Pascal did. And that happened halfway through filming. Now, as I said, I’ve heard the break up was pretty bad with both sides upset.”
- Randolph usually has a decent track record when it comes to the inside scoop on major franchise projects, but this one seems a little far-fetched. After all, Pascal surely would have known full well when he was first in talks to join The Mandalorian that he’d be required to keep his helmet on for the majority of his scenes, something he didn’t seem to have an issue with the last time out.
- If it does turn out to be true, though, and Jon Favreau is keeping it under wraps, that could explain why season 2 is set to widen the scope to focus on other characters and subplots. Also, no offense to Pedro Pascal, but it wouldn’t be too difficult to replace him on The Mandalorian given that you could essentially have anyone under the costume and then hire a soundalike to do a voice-over in post production.

- Avengers: Endgame set up arrival of next Marvel villain without anybody realising
- https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/films/news/marvel-kang-conqueror-fantastic-4-xmen-young-avengers-mcu-ant-man-3-b465704.html
- https://bit.ly/3hO1Cc5
- Marvel is about to introduce what could be its most pivotal – and fearsome – character yet.
- With the Infinity Saga officially over following 2019 blockbuster Avengers: Endgame, fans are patiently waiting for the next era of Marvel films, so they can see what surprises studio president Kevin Feige has in store.
- Recent reports have claimed that the forthcoming third Ant-Man film will introduce a character named Kang the Conqueror, who will be played by Jonathan Majors.
- Those unfamiliar with the comics may be interested to know that Kang is actually one of the most powerful and important villains to have ever been created by Marvel.
- His addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), while rumoured for some time, comes as a surprise considering it possibly reveals the direction the film series will be going in once it returns.
- Essentially, Kang is a time-hopping antagonist who will no doubt appear as a consequence of the Avengers’ creation of alternate timelines in Endgame.
- His character’s power comes from the fact he can manipulate the course of history by freely moving through time.
- It’s possible that the actions of Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) and Captain America (Chris Evans) will open a window for Kang’s introduction.
- Most importantly, Kang features in several character’s storylines, making him the natural successor to Thanos (Josh Brolin) as the MCU’s main villain.
- In news that will serve as the most exciting for fans, Kang is primarily a character from the Fantastic Four comics, meaning that his introduction could set up their arrival.
- His ties to other factions also hints that Marvel could introduce the X-Men into the fold sooner than expected, as well as a young version of the Avengers, which includes Ant-Man’s daughter, Cassie.
- Backing up this is the fact that Kang’s ability to manipulate the course of history means he comes in different incarnations.
- One such version is Iron Lad, who just happens to be leader of the young Avengers. Another version is Loki (Tom Hiddleston), who will be fronting his own TV show for Disney+ in 2021.
- It sounds likely that Kang is also going to cause havoc for characters including Captain Marvel (Brie Larson), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Spider-Man (Tom Holland).
- Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade 2020 Will Not Be Live Event, De Blasio Says

- The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, as fans have come to know it, has been formally canceled for 2020, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. New York City mayor Bill de Blasio made the announcement on Monday, saying that instead of a live event, the team behind the parade is working on something unique. “It will not be the same parade we’re used to, it will be a different kind of event,” de Blasio said during his daily briefing, per WCBS.
- The NYC mayor added, “They’re reinventing the event for this moment in history and you will be able to feel the spirit and the joy of that day on television, online, not a live parade but something that will really give us that warmth and that great feeling we have on Thanksgiving Day.” In a statement on its website, Macy’s also addressed the live parade cancellation. “For more than 90 years, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has kicked off the holiday season with its signature entertainment spectacle, making it one of the world’s most beloved events,” the statement read. “Following our successful, safe and innovative production of Macy’s 4th of July Fireworks, it is our intention to similarly reimagine Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this November. Stay tuned for more details later this fall.”
- The Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade is not the only big New York City holiday event to be canceled due to COVID-19 concerns, as the Rockettes’ Radio City Christmas Spectacular has also been postponed this year. In a statement, MSG Entertainment — the owner of New York City’s Radio City Music Hall — said, “We regret that the 2020 production of the Christmas Spectacular Starring the Radio City Rockettes presented by Chase has been canceled due to continued uncertainty associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.”
- The company added, “We are disappointed for everyone involved with the show, as well as for the many fans who make the Christmas Spectacular a cherished part of their holiday tradition. We look forward to welcoming audiences back for the 2021 production, which is on sale now. All tickets for the 2020 production will be automatically refunded at the point of purchase.” This marks the first time in almost 90 years that the Rockettes will not take the stage at Radio City Music Hall.

- So during this time of lockdown, Disney has been trying to share some joy with various videos on their Youtube channel. As we’ve talked about before, they released various recipes for Park Food Favorites.
- And now they have some videos out that share some secrets about some of the most beloved rides!
- This week they posted about the Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland. It’s a quick less than 2 minute history lesson about the ride.
- X Atencio voiced the skeleton seen before the first drop & he’s also responsible for the lyrics to “Yo Ho”
- The ride would be the last that Walt helped to develop
- When the local Fire Department visited to sign off on permits, they were so convinced by the fire effects that they required they be turned off during an emergency
- Another one that they posted was about Radiator Springs Racers
- With the exception of 2 of the characters, all of the original actors voiced their characters for the ride
- They are some of the most advanced Audio-Animatronics created, on average each car performs 1.5 million times a year
- Each ride vehicle will travel 36,000 miles a year
- And then my favorite was one about The Haunted Mansion

- https://bit.ly/3cbC9YY
- Create your Star Wars Story
- The Resistance, First Order and scoundrels are fighting to control Batuu, but your Sims’ actions determine who will succeed. As Sims undertake challenges and special missions, you’ll tip the balance of power. Your influence not only changes the world, but also unlocks rewards like starfighter access, new outfits, and critical missions on Batuu.
- Experience the Edge of the Galaxy
- From the Millennium Falcon to the bustling cantina and unique attire of Batuu, Sims will be surrounded by the iconic sights and sounds of Star Wars. Socialize with the alien locals to truly understand why Batuu is unlike any other planet. When your Sim returns home, bring back new decor and recipes inspired by your travels, play a game of sabacc, or host a playful lightsaber training session.
- Unite with Iconic Characters
- Completing missions ears your Sim reputation points, and as you rack them up, you get closer and closer to meeting the leaders of the forces on Batuu. The possibilities shift depending on your Sum’s actions. Will you choose to support Kylo Ren in his efforts to uncover the Resistance base, or will you join Rey and Vi Moradi in the fight against the First Order? Whichever path your Sim chooses, Honda Ohnaka and his scoundrels are always there if you need a few extra galactic credits
- Get your own Lightsaber and droid
- Explore Batuu to find kyber crystals and hilts for the most coveted Star Wars artifact: A Lightsaber. Collect every piece to construct a blade that’s all your own. Then invite other Sims to spar in lightsaber challenges. Or visit the Doird Depot and purchase your very own droid to help you on your adventures and mabe zap a few Sims here and there to distract them.

- A tribute to a real life heroine
- https://n.pr/3mJBUt9
- We talk about comic book heroes and superheroes a lot on this podcast. And while the various works of fiction that feature these characters is a source of relief, inspiration and hope for us this week we lost a real hero that embodied all of those qualities and more.
- Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Champion of Gender Equality has died at the age of 87 after a long and surprisingly successful struggle with cancer.
- Architect of the legal fight for women’s rights in the 1970’s, the Notorious RBG as she was affectionately called in recent years subsequently served 27 years on the nation’s highest court, becoming it’s most prominent member.
- The Notorious RBG has been many things to many people in her 87 years. But most importantly she was an inspiration to women and girls everywhere that no matter how difficult it might be to stand up for yourself and the rights of others, one person can make a difference. She proved that to the world on more than one occasion.
- We have lost a leader, an inspiration, a hero and an amazing woman. Hopefully the legacy that she left behind will live on through our daughter and others from her generation.

0:04:16.400,0:04:19.680

0:04:19.680,0:04:24.000
these links on the web on our website at
0:04:27.759,0:04:32.720
are http://www.insightsintothings.com ready to
0:04:28.240,0:04:32.720
get started sure all right let’s do it
0:04:33.740,0:04:39.600
[Applause]
0:04:35.919,0:04:42.240
go for disney detective so disneyland
0:04:39.600,0:04:43.440
obviously has been closed for more than
0:04:42.240,0:04:46.720
six months now
0:04:43.440,0:04:47.280
and only the downtown disney shopping
0:04:46.720,0:04:50.160
area
0:04:47.280,0:04:52.320
is currently open to guests so now
0:04:50.160,0:04:55.600
disney has decided to use
0:04:52.320,0:04:58.080
a new spot to sell merchandise that was
0:04:55.600,0:04:59.440
previously exclusive to star wars
0:04:58.080,0:05:01.440
galaxy’s edge
0:04:59.440,0:05:03.120
so it’s great news for those that can’t
0:05:01.440,0:05:06.080
get into the park
0:05:03.120,0:05:07.039
but unfortunately it’s kind of bad news
0:05:06.080,0:05:10.800
if you’re a fan
0:05:07.039,0:05:14.479
of disney art because the location
0:05:10.800,0:05:17.360
that they’re using is downtown disney’s
0:05:14.479,0:05:19.600
wonderground gallery now underground
0:05:17.360,0:05:20.560
gallery has previously been the home of
0:05:19.600,0:05:23.600
disney themed
0:05:20.560,0:05:26.080
art made by independent artists
0:05:23.600,0:05:28.479
the art is there to enjoy if you want to
0:05:26.080,0:05:30.639
look at it and obviously
0:05:28.479,0:05:33.600
it’s it’s there to to purchase as well
0:05:30.639,0:05:37.360
and a lot of one-of-a-kind items
0:05:33.600,0:05:40.960
were usually there as well so
0:05:37.360,0:05:44.160
unfortunately it’s kind of sad news for
0:05:40.960,0:05:44.800
disney artists because this in a lot of
0:05:44.160,0:05:47.039
cases
0:05:44.800,0:05:48.240
was one of the only places where their
0:05:47.039,0:05:50.639
art was being
0:05:48.240,0:05:52.639
sold now there are some artists that are
0:05:50.639,0:05:55.759
going to be selling
0:05:52.639,0:05:57.199
their art online but you have to know
0:05:55.759,0:06:00.160
who the artist is to
0:05:57.199,0:06:00.800
to find it because a lot of people don’t
0:06:00.160,0:06:04.080
know who
0:06:00.800,0:06:04.880
some of these disney artists are unless
0:06:04.080,0:06:08.000
they actually
0:06:04.880,0:06:08.800
see their artwork so now it’s kind of
0:06:08.000,0:06:12.160
being
0:06:08.800,0:06:14.160
you know hindered hopefully though that
0:06:12.160,0:06:16.960
this is just a temporary
0:06:14.160,0:06:19.199
decision that it’s not a permanent thing
0:06:16.960,0:06:20.000
so that once the parks do open up the
0:06:19.199,0:06:23.360
merchandise
0:06:20.000,0:06:26.639
can be moved back into
0:06:23.360,0:06:29.120
the actual park um now somebody um
0:06:26.639,0:06:30.880
that noticed the the area you know they
0:06:29.120,0:06:34.000
were starting to take out
0:06:30.880,0:06:36.800
the the disney art and they were kind of
0:06:34.000,0:06:39.199
making it um because if you’ve been to
0:06:36.800,0:06:42.319
galaxy’s edge or if you’ve read about it
0:06:39.199,0:06:45.440
they try and immerse you in
0:06:42.319,0:06:48.000
the area um you know when when you go
0:06:45.440,0:06:49.280
there they don’t reference other areas
0:06:48.000,0:06:52.319
of the park
0:06:49.280,0:06:54.639
you know it’s like you’re on batu
0:06:52.319,0:06:56.400
so what somebody uh had mentioned in the
0:06:54.639,0:06:57.599
article was that they were kind of
0:06:56.400,0:07:00.960
making it so like
0:06:57.599,0:07:02.639
this was an artist from batu and
0:07:00.960,0:07:04.000
you know the goods that you were getting
0:07:02.639,0:07:06.800
could only be found
0:07:04.000,0:07:07.440
from that too so you know it’s nice that
0:07:06.800,0:07:09.759
they’re
0:07:07.440,0:07:11.520
bringing that to to guests that can’t
0:07:09.759,0:07:12.240
get into the park to to purchase
0:07:11.520,0:07:15.440
anything
0:07:12.240,0:07:16.000
but on the downside kind of you know sad
0:07:15.440,0:07:17.599
for those
0:07:16.000,0:07:19.280
artists that that was really the only
0:07:17.599,0:07:22.400
way their art
0:07:19.280,0:07:24.479
was being seen you know by other people
0:07:22.400,0:07:25.680
so have they confirmed that this is just
0:07:24.479,0:07:29.280
a temporary thing
0:07:25.680,0:07:30.800
they haven’t confirmed it but it kind of
0:07:29.280,0:07:33.440
leads to
0:07:30.800,0:07:34.240
you know the the idea that it that it is
0:07:33.440,0:07:36.800
just
0:07:34.240,0:07:38.319
temporary because they didn’t um there’s
0:07:36.800,0:07:41.039
one of the artists
0:07:38.319,0:07:41.680
i saw they posted something on facebook
0:07:41.039,0:07:43.440
where
0:07:41.680,0:07:45.199
you know they were like we don’t know
0:07:43.440,0:07:47.919
how long this is for
0:07:45.199,0:07:49.120
but it’s just for now so you know they
0:07:47.919,0:07:51.120
haven’t been told like
0:07:49.120,0:07:52.560
hey get all your art because we’re not
0:07:51.120,0:07:54.800
selling it anymore
0:07:52.560,0:07:56.000
um so hopefully it’s it’s just a
0:07:54.800,0:07:58.160
temporary thing
0:07:56.000,0:07:59.680
now when they did have the art there was
0:07:58.160,0:08:02.560
disney
0:07:59.680,0:08:04.240
was were the artists getting direct
0:08:02.560,0:08:06.160
funds from the sales or was it a
0:08:04.240,0:08:08.400
commission type no i think they were
0:08:06.160,0:08:10.000
getting the the direct sales
0:08:08.400,0:08:12.000
so this is really just a money grab for
0:08:10.000,0:08:12.960
disney of course okay i just wanted to
0:08:12.000,0:08:16.160
clarify that
0:08:12.960,0:08:18.800
isn’t it always yeah
0:08:16.160,0:08:19.599
so what else do we have um so this was a
0:08:18.800,0:08:22.240
cute little
0:08:19.599,0:08:24.879
you know story that i i found you know
0:08:22.240,0:08:26.560
looking at different news articles
0:08:24.879,0:08:27.919
you know the there were a couple of
0:08:26.560,0:08:29.599
different things that popped up about
0:08:27.919,0:08:32.880
disney during the week and
0:08:29.599,0:08:34.320
you know not to to bring light to him
0:08:32.880,0:08:37.120
but there was you know
0:08:34.320,0:08:38.560
a guy who took his mask off and started
0:08:37.120,0:08:39.039
this whole thing well anyway he got
0:08:38.560,0:08:41.360
banned
0:08:39.039,0:08:42.880
so i didn’t want to talk about that one
0:08:41.360,0:08:45.360
i wanted something a little bit
0:08:42.880,0:08:47.040
more lighthearted um so this was
0:08:45.360,0:08:51.120
actually a story that came up
0:08:47.040,0:08:54.399
about jingles um so
0:08:51.120,0:08:57.760
and this was this was kind of you know a
0:08:54.399,0:08:59.600
cute little you know history story um
0:08:57.760,0:09:01.680
you know so for those that you know go
0:08:59.600,0:09:04.480
to the disney parks
0:09:01.680,0:09:04.800
you know going into fantasyland one of
0:09:04.480,0:09:07.600
the
0:09:04.800,0:09:08.000
the big attractions is is the carousel
0:09:07.600,0:09:10.800
and in
0:09:08.000,0:09:11.279
disneyland it’s king arthur’s carousel
0:09:10.800,0:09:14.560
and it’s
0:09:11.279,0:09:15.279
you know very historic in in a lot of
0:09:14.560,0:09:17.760
ways
0:09:15.279,0:09:18.720
because for those that don’t know walt
0:09:17.760,0:09:20.839
disney actually
0:09:18.720,0:09:22.160
came up with the idea of building
0:09:20.839,0:09:23.920
disneyland
0:09:22.160,0:09:25.600
while he was sitting on a park bench
0:09:23.920,0:09:28.640
with his daughters and they were
0:09:25.600,0:09:29.120
riding the merry-go-round in griffith
0:09:28.640,0:09:31.920
park
0:09:29.120,0:09:33.600
in los angeles and that’s when he got
0:09:31.920,0:09:35.519
the idea that you know
0:09:33.600,0:09:37.200
the there should be a park where the
0:09:35.519,0:09:40.320
family can can enjoy
0:09:37.200,0:09:41.040
things together so obviously the
0:09:40.320,0:09:44.560
carousel
0:09:41.040,0:09:48.399
meant a lot to him um
0:09:44.560,0:09:51.920
so when they had built disneyland
0:09:48.399,0:09:55.600
um they had actually commissioned
0:09:51.920,0:09:56.800
a company in canada to make the carousel
0:09:55.600,0:10:01.680
horses
0:09:56.800,0:10:04.480
and ship them to california in 1954
0:10:01.680,0:10:05.839
now one horse was painted white and all
0:10:04.480,0:10:08.640
the other ones were
0:10:05.839,0:10:09.360
were browns and and tans and things like
0:10:08.640,0:10:13.200
that
0:10:09.360,0:10:16.240
and by 1975 they actually
0:10:13.200,0:10:17.279
overhauled all of the horses and made
0:10:16.240,0:10:20.959
them all white
0:10:17.279,0:10:22.720
all with different themings and actually
0:10:20.959,0:10:25.519
what’s interesting is all of the horses
0:10:22.720,0:10:28.560
have a name and you can actually go
0:10:25.519,0:10:29.839
to city hall on main street and get a
0:10:28.560,0:10:32.320
copy of
0:10:29.839,0:10:33.760
the names of all the horses well one
0:10:32.320,0:10:36.640
horse in particular
0:10:33.760,0:10:38.079
is is kind of the the favorite of of the
0:10:36.640,0:10:41.680
bunch and that is
0:10:38.079,0:10:44.320
jingles he’s considered the lead horse
0:10:41.680,0:10:45.680
and after going through many refreshes
0:10:44.320,0:10:48.800
over the years
0:10:45.680,0:10:52.399
he actually now has a makeover
0:10:48.800,0:10:55.760
um based off of mary mary poppins
0:10:52.399,0:10:59.200
um and he uh has
0:10:55.760,0:11:02.800
her initials uh listed
0:10:59.200,0:11:05.680
he’s the most ornate of the horses
0:11:02.800,0:11:06.800
um he even has a little hidden mickey
0:11:05.680,0:11:10.560
and also
0:11:06.800,0:11:14.560
um uh mary poppins umbrella
0:11:10.560,0:11:18.320
is actually uh located in yeah
0:11:14.560,0:11:19.440
in uh uh painted on him so just a cute
0:11:18.320,0:11:22.160
little story
0:11:19.440,0:11:22.959
uh to kind of you know throw out there
0:11:22.160,0:11:25.040
um
0:11:22.959,0:11:27.200
so you know he again he’s the most
0:11:25.040,0:11:28.000
decorated horse he’s considered the lead
0:11:27.200,0:11:29.760
horse
0:11:28.000,0:11:31.519
and there have been lots of different
0:11:29.760,0:11:33.440
you know photos taken
0:11:31.519,0:11:35.600
with different celebrities that you know
0:11:33.440,0:11:36.399
when they go they try and find this
0:11:35.600,0:11:39.760
horse
0:11:36.399,0:11:40.800
uh to to get a you know to get a ride on
0:11:39.760,0:11:43.200
so
0:11:40.800,0:11:45.519
yeah and this is just disneyland just
0:11:43.200,0:11:46.720
disneyland do they do the unique naming
0:11:45.519,0:11:49.680
for disney world
0:11:46.720,0:11:51.760
probably do because you know because i
0:11:49.680,0:11:54.240
know the disney world carousel actually
0:11:51.760,0:11:56.079
originated in new jersey right and that
0:11:54.240,0:11:56.480
we did the new jersey connection there
0:11:56.079,0:11:58.399
right
0:11:56.480,0:12:00.240
i’m sure they probably have horses
0:11:58.399,0:12:01.279
probably not the same names but i don’t
0:12:00.240,0:12:03.600
know we’ve never
0:12:01.279,0:12:04.480
we’ve never asked so that can be really
0:12:03.600,0:12:07.120
something that would be
0:12:04.480,0:12:09.360
cool on like a podcast with like secret
0:12:07.120,0:12:11.040
disney stuff
0:12:09.360,0:12:14.079
we’ll have to write that one down we’ll
0:12:11.040,0:12:15.920
have to think about that
0:12:14.079,0:12:17.760
nice so nice story though that was that
0:12:15.920,0:12:19.200

0:13:49.519,0:13:54.000
for the first time it will be done
0:13:51.360,0:13:56.000
virtually but as a tradition a few
0:13:54.000,0:13:57.120
statues have obviously already been
0:13:56.000,0:14:00.079
handed out
0:13:57.120,0:14:02.240
because usually the week before they do
0:14:00.079,0:14:04.079
the creative arts emmys
0:14:02.240,0:14:06.320
and that’s the one that honors the
0:14:04.079,0:14:09.040
customers production designers
0:14:06.320,0:14:09.839
visual effects artists makeup and hair
0:14:09.040,0:14:12.000
stylists
0:14:09.839,0:14:13.440
also this way the show isn’t more than
0:14:12.000,0:14:16.079
like five
0:14:13.440,0:14:16.800
five hours that’s that’s part of it too
0:14:16.079,0:14:19.440
um
0:14:16.800,0:14:21.120
but what was really cool was it so it
0:14:19.440,0:14:23.519
took place on wednesday
0:14:21.120,0:14:24.880
and one of the big winners was the
0:14:23.519,0:14:27.920
mandalorian
0:14:24.880,0:14:32.320
thanks to no small part then our
0:14:27.920,0:14:35.600
lovable little baby baby yoda
0:14:32.320,0:14:38.720
um so he was actually competing against
0:14:35.600,0:14:41.199
uh lost in space and stranger things
0:14:38.720,0:14:42.800
uh the watchmen and westworld and this
0:14:41.199,0:14:44.880
is actually the first major
0:14:42.800,0:14:47.199
disney plus series that took home an
0:14:44.880,0:14:50.480
award for outstanding special
0:14:47.199,0:14:52.720
special video effects specifically for
0:14:50.480,0:14:55.839
work accomplished on
0:14:52.720,0:14:58.240
episode 2 which was the child
0:14:55.839,0:14:59.760
so the award went to a number of the
0:14:58.240,0:15:02.800
show’s visual effects
0:14:59.760,0:15:04.880
artists um so the supervisors and all
0:15:02.800,0:15:05.600
the the technicians and the producers
0:15:04.880,0:15:08.639
they
0:15:05.600,0:15:12.000
you know all um were able to
0:15:08.639,0:15:14.720
to get an award for this uh so among
0:15:12.000,0:15:15.680
the visual effects war award the
0:15:14.720,0:15:19.120
mandalorian
0:15:15.680,0:15:20.399
also received accolades for outstanding
0:15:19.120,0:15:23.279
production design
0:15:20.399,0:15:25.760
for a narrative program outstanding
0:15:23.279,0:15:26.880
sound editing for a comedy or drama
0:15:25.760,0:15:30.639
series
0:15:26.880,0:15:32.160
um outstanding sound mixing for a comedy
0:15:30.639,0:15:34.880
or drama series
0:15:32.160,0:15:37.199
and outstanding cinematography for a
0:15:34.880,0:15:40.720
single camera series
0:15:37.199,0:15:43.759
phew that’s a lot
0:15:40.720,0:15:44.320
um so obviously the mandalorian might
0:15:43.759,0:15:47.199
not be
0:15:44.320,0:15:48.399
done yet because the series is actually
0:15:47.199,0:15:51.680
set to compete
0:15:48.399,0:15:53.040
for outstanding drama when the emmy
0:15:51.680,0:15:56.160
awards airs on
0:15:53.040,0:15:59.120
sunday and obviously the new
0:15:56.160,0:16:01.040
season is going to be premiering on
0:15:59.120,0:16:04.079
october 30th
0:16:01.040,0:16:07.120
very cool very cool and
0:16:04.079,0:16:10.320
you know the show itself was
0:16:07.120,0:16:13.519
incredibly well produced and
0:16:10.320,0:16:15.519
you know we had the um the good fortune
0:16:13.519,0:16:17.360
to watch the documentary on it
0:16:15.519,0:16:18.800
yeah and just seeing some of the
0:16:17.360,0:16:21.120
techniques that they had
0:16:18.800,0:16:22.240
for the production for the realism for
0:16:21.120,0:16:25.199
the sets for
0:16:22.240,0:16:25.839
right you know it was just it was
0:16:25.199,0:16:27.600
awesome
0:16:25.839,0:16:29.680
you know and uh you know i can’t help
0:16:27.600,0:16:31.759
but hearken back to
0:16:29.680,0:16:33.040
the the one episode that was very late
0:16:31.759,0:16:35.759
in the season where
0:16:33.040,0:16:36.800
you see dave filoni and a couple of the
0:16:35.759,0:16:39.040
directors
0:16:36.800,0:16:41.839
show up in costume in the series right
0:16:39.040,0:16:44.000
in x-wing fighters right right
0:16:41.839,0:16:45.120
and then to think that that x-wing
0:16:44.000,0:16:48.399
fighter
0:16:45.120,0:16:49.120
is the one that’s actually in galaxy’s
0:16:48.399,0:16:51.680
edge yeah
0:16:49.120,0:16:53.920
in florida that’s the level of realism
0:16:51.680,0:16:58.320
right you know that they bring to
0:16:53.920,0:17:01.680
everything that they do so kudos to them
0:16:58.320,0:17:02.800
what else do we have so more mandalorian
0:17:01.680,0:17:06.400
news and it
0:17:02.800,0:17:09.520
seems that the mandalorian star
0:17:06.400,0:17:10.240
reportedly quit the show halfway through
0:17:09.520,0:17:13.039
the season
0:17:10.240,0:17:13.600
what so we had actually talked about
0:17:13.039,0:17:16.319
this
0:17:13.600,0:17:18.480
a couple of weeks ago there was you know
0:17:16.319,0:17:18.959
some news that something was going on
0:17:18.480,0:17:21.039
and
0:17:18.959,0:17:22.160
and you know why the trailer hadn’t
0:17:21.039,0:17:25.919
dropped yet
0:17:22.160,0:17:28.480
and insider grace randolph you know
0:17:25.919,0:17:30.000
you know really didn’t say a whole lot
0:17:28.480,0:17:32.080
but had said
0:17:30.000,0:17:33.600
something was amiss she couldn’t really
0:17:32.080,0:17:36.480
talk about it
0:17:33.600,0:17:37.760
but you know as soon as she got more
0:17:36.480,0:17:40.799
details something
0:17:37.760,0:17:43.600
would come out and now it seems
0:17:40.799,0:17:45.679
more has come out so we did get the new
0:17:43.600,0:17:46.080
trailer so if you haven’t seen it it
0:17:45.679,0:17:48.720
looks
0:17:46.080,0:17:50.000
awesome uh there were new photos that
0:17:48.720,0:17:54.480
that came out
0:17:50.000,0:17:57.840
um and also a new logo
0:17:54.480,0:17:59.200
for the series as well so what she had
0:17:57.840,0:18:01.600
actually claimed was that
0:17:59.200,0:18:03.440
the leading man pedro pascal had
0:18:01.600,0:18:05.919
actually left production
0:18:03.440,0:18:06.559
halfway through the shooting she had
0:18:05.919,0:18:09.280
said
0:18:06.559,0:18:11.120
uh while filming season two pedro pascal
0:18:09.280,0:18:11.840
really wanted to have some scenes with
0:18:11.120,0:18:14.559
his helmet
0:18:11.840,0:18:16.240
off the mandalorian creative team
0:18:14.559,0:18:19.520
wouldn’t budge on this
0:18:16.240,0:18:21.840
so pedro pascal from what uh
0:18:19.520,0:18:23.360
i’ve heard from two sources now was
0:18:21.840,0:18:25.600
frustrated about this
0:18:23.360,0:18:27.679
and also was pretty darn uncomfortable
0:18:25.600,0:18:30.480
in the mando suit on set
0:18:27.679,0:18:30.960
so he became difficult and the final
0:18:30.480,0:18:32.799
straw
0:18:30.960,0:18:34.080
even though he was difficult to be
0:18:32.799,0:18:36.559
around on set
0:18:34.080,0:18:37.919
the final straw that was he went to
0:18:36.559,0:18:40.720
lucasfilm
0:18:37.919,0:18:42.880
and from what i’ve heard from my sources
0:18:40.720,0:18:43.840
tried to get them to intervene on his
0:18:42.880,0:18:46.080
behalf
0:18:43.840,0:18:47.760
and you combine that with lucasfilm
0:18:46.080,0:18:50.320
already trying to get involved with
0:18:47.760,0:18:53.120
story aspects of season two
0:18:50.320,0:18:54.480
from which i’ve heard including focusing
0:18:53.120,0:18:56.720
more on a standalone
0:18:54.480,0:18:58.160
episode rather than making them all
0:18:56.720,0:19:00.400
connected
0:18:58.160,0:19:02.559
the mandalorian creative team wanted to
0:19:00.400,0:19:04.080
do so which was kind of happening at the
0:19:02.559,0:19:06.799
end of season one
0:19:04.080,0:19:08.559
so when pedro went to lucasfilm the
0:19:06.799,0:19:10.880
mando team was like
0:19:08.559,0:19:12.400
you know what you should just go and
0:19:10.880,0:19:14.640
pedro did
0:19:12.400,0:19:15.760
and that’s what happened halfway through
0:19:14.640,0:19:19.360
filming
0:19:15.760,0:19:20.880
she said you know and she also says that
0:19:19.360,0:19:24.080
she heard that the breakup was
0:19:20.880,0:19:27.600
pretty bad with both sides being upset
0:19:24.080,0:19:28.000
so again nothing has come out whether or
0:19:27.600,0:19:30.480
not
0:19:28.000,0:19:32.320
this is true this was actually in a
0:19:30.480,0:19:35.600
couple of different articles
0:19:32.320,0:19:37.440
um that that popped up about it so if it
0:19:35.600,0:19:40.640
does turn out to be true though
0:19:37.440,0:19:42.240
john sorry john favreau is obviously
0:19:40.640,0:19:44.400
keeping it under wraps
0:19:42.240,0:19:45.760
and that could also explain why season
0:19:44.400,0:19:50.080
two is set
0:19:45.760,0:19:53.280
to a wider to a wider scope to focus on
0:19:50.080,0:19:57.120
other characters and other subplots
0:19:53.280,0:19:59.760
and you know in this article they said
0:19:57.120,0:20:01.760
no offense to him but it would wouldn’t
0:19:59.760,0:20:04.840
be too hard to replace him
0:20:01.760,0:20:08.480
because from what we saw
0:20:04.840,0:20:11.440
in the documentary he wasn’t always
0:20:08.480,0:20:12.559
on set he had a body double who was
0:20:11.440,0:20:15.440
doing a lot of the
0:20:12.559,0:20:16.720
the physical acting because he was in
0:20:15.440,0:20:19.679
new york i think
0:20:16.720,0:20:20.000
working on broadway and he was recording
0:20:19.679,0:20:23.520
his
0:20:20.000,0:20:26.640
lines elsewhere so technically
0:20:23.520,0:20:30.159
if he does up and leave or did
0:20:26.640,0:20:30.960
up and leave he could be replaced very
0:20:30.159,0:20:33.280
easily
0:20:30.960,0:20:34.159
with somebody just doing the voice over
0:20:33.280,0:20:36.640
work
0:20:34.159,0:20:37.200
and you know somebody else in the suit
0:20:36.640,0:20:39.919
but again
0:20:37.200,0:20:42.000
nothing’s come out if that really
0:20:39.919,0:20:44.080
happened or not but
0:20:42.000,0:20:45.919
you know and that’s the thing i find it
0:20:44.080,0:20:48.240
very hard to believe that something that
0:20:45.919,0:20:50.000
significant could happen
0:20:48.240,0:20:51.520
and it hasn’t made it to mainstream
0:20:50.000,0:20:54.559
media at this yeah
0:20:51.520,0:20:56.960
yeah i could see where
0:20:54.559,0:20:58.640
some of that may have happened where he
0:20:56.960,0:21:01.120
expressed his
0:20:58.640,0:21:02.240
discontent right having to have the
0:21:01.120,0:21:04.960
helmet on the whole time
0:21:02.240,0:21:06.400
right i could totally see there being a
0:21:04.960,0:21:09.600
scenario where
0:21:06.400,0:21:11.600
he did ask for more face time mm-hmm uh
0:21:09.600,0:21:13.039
especially given the fact that you know
0:21:11.600,0:21:14.400
we talked about the award shows and
0:21:13.039,0:21:15.840
stuff like that and the fact that he
0:21:14.400,0:21:17.840
didn’t qualify for them right
0:21:15.840,0:21:19.120
because you couldn’t see that it was him
0:21:17.840,0:21:22.320
so i could see him
0:21:19.120,0:21:25.039
making an issue of it but
0:21:22.320,0:21:25.440
i don’t like he’s under contract too
0:21:25.039,0:21:27.919
right
0:21:25.440,0:21:29.760
so i find it hard to believe that disney
0:21:27.919,0:21:32.559
let him walk out of his contract
0:21:29.760,0:21:34.400
considering yeah how significant this
0:21:32.559,0:21:35.520
series is and how much money it’s making
0:21:34.400,0:21:37.120
oh absolutely
0:21:35.520,0:21:39.280
you don’t just let your star walk out
0:21:37.120,0:21:42.240
when he’s under contract right
0:21:39.280,0:21:43.120
so i take this report with a with a
0:21:42.240,0:21:45.360
grain of salt
0:21:43.120,0:21:47.520
you know i could certainly see how it
0:21:45.360,0:21:49.440
will influence the rest of the season
0:21:47.520,0:21:50.880
where you may be trying to downplay him
0:21:49.440,0:21:52.799
because you might i don’t know how long
0:21:50.880,0:21:54.400
his contract was you might not have him
0:21:52.799,0:21:57.280
under contract
0:21:54.400,0:21:59.600
but they they green light of the third
0:21:57.280,0:22:01.360
season so we have to assume
0:21:59.600,0:22:03.039
you all your actors are under contract
0:22:01.360,0:22:05.120
for at least that long
0:22:03.039,0:22:06.880
and the show was called the mandalorian
0:22:05.120,0:22:09.360
so is it something where
0:22:06.880,0:22:13.120
is he not the main mandalorian does
0:22:09.360,0:22:13.120
something happen you know do they end
0:22:13.840,0:22:17.840
there isn’t a mandalorian right you know
0:22:16.320,0:22:19.679
mandalorians are a culture
0:22:17.840,0:22:21.200
right and that’s the thing is does the
0:22:19.679,0:22:23.520
storyline you know
0:22:21.200,0:22:24.720
right do you hand it off to another man
0:22:23.520,0:22:27.520
exactly
0:22:24.720,0:22:28.000
right exactly so i i don’t know we’ll
0:22:27.520,0:22:31.039
see
0:22:28.000,0:22:33.280
we’ll see we’ll see how it goes yeah
0:22:31.039,0:22:34.880
so tell me how i can waste more of my

headed to star wars trading post in
0:24:34.640,0:24:38.640
disney springs at walt disney world and
0:24:37.440,0:24:42.080
obviously
0:24:38.640,0:24:44.880
as we just mentioned downtown disney
0:24:42.080,0:24:47.279
district at disneyland will be getting
0:24:44.880,0:24:48.799
some of the items as well
0:24:47.279,0:24:52.000
well this would be cool i mean you know
0:24:48.799,0:24:55.120
when when we were down there we uh
0:24:52.000,0:24:57.360
well you spent lots of money i
0:24:55.120,0:24:58.880
kind of went a little crazy down there
0:24:57.360,0:25:01.440
with the stuff that i was buying
0:24:58.880,0:25:04.000
and rightfully so because it was the
0:25:01.440,0:25:07.520
first time they had a lot of these
0:25:04.000,0:25:09.600
you know cool artifact type
0:25:07.520,0:25:11.039
you know items and the thing was you
0:25:09.600,0:25:13.919
weren’t the only one
0:25:11.039,0:25:14.559
you know everybody was you know because
0:25:13.919,0:25:18.480
it was
0:25:14.559,0:25:21.279
it was not your traditional
0:25:18.480,0:25:23.440
souvenir right you know it was something
0:25:21.279,0:25:25.279
completely different if you’re you know
0:25:23.440,0:25:28.320
a
0:25:25.279,0:25:31.440
a huge fan of the series
0:25:28.320,0:25:33.840
of the books um you know of
0:25:31.440,0:25:35.360
of the comics you know there’s all these
0:25:33.840,0:25:38.159
little things you know because
0:25:35.360,0:25:39.279
honestly i’m a fan of the movies and
0:25:38.159,0:25:41.200
that’s about it
0:25:39.279,0:25:42.320
and i admit it so looking at some of the
0:25:41.200,0:25:44.000
stuff i’m like okay
0:25:42.320,0:25:47.200
that’s kind of that’s kind of cool and
0:25:44.000,0:25:50.080
you’re like oh my god that’s so awesome
0:25:47.200,0:25:50.480
yes what’s neat is it it’s stuff that
0:25:50.080,0:25:52.720
you
0:25:50.480,0:25:55.200
can’t buy elsewhere right for the most
0:25:52.720,0:25:57.679
part absolutely it’s all unique things
0:25:55.200,0:25:58.240
that they made just for this attraction
0:25:57.679,0:26:01.200
it’s not
0:25:58.240,0:26:01.760
hasbro toys or something like that right
0:26:01.200,0:26:05.120
they’re not
0:26:01.760,0:26:08.640
one-offs right they’re rare enough
0:26:05.120,0:26:09.679
that if you can’t afford to go to disney
0:26:08.640,0:26:11.039
to buy these
0:26:09.679,0:26:13.279
you’re never going to get these things
0:26:11.039,0:26:15.919
right unless you buy them off ebay
0:26:13.279,0:26:17.679
with incredible markups right and now
0:26:15.919,0:26:20.240
here’s a chance to
0:26:17.679,0:26:21.200
but i think you know disney being the
0:26:20.240,0:26:24.559
money grubbing
0:26:21.200,0:26:25.600
or you know evil empire that they are
0:26:24.559,0:26:27.600
they’re not doing this out of the
0:26:25.600,0:26:29.840
kindness of their heart i i think they
0:26:27.600,0:26:31.120
kind of realized how much they were
0:26:29.840,0:26:33.120
limiting
0:26:31.120,0:26:35.360
their market and their profit on this
0:26:33.120,0:26:38.640
right now just to to add this
0:26:35.360,0:26:40.000
is different from the star wars galaxy’s
0:26:38.640,0:26:42.880
edge items that
0:26:40.000,0:26:44.320
are available through target because
0:26:42.880,0:26:46.240
target had their own
0:26:44.320,0:26:48.080
line of stuff that we talked about a
0:26:46.240,0:26:50.320
couple of weeks ago as well so this is
0:26:48.080,0:26:52.159
again completely different this would be
0:26:50.320,0:26:56.480
the merchandise that you could only
0:26:52.159,0:26:59.120
get if you actually went to
0:26:56.480,0:26:59.679
galaxy’s edge in the park right and you
0:26:59.120,0:27:02.240
know what i
0:26:59.679,0:27:04.000
this is the closest parallel i think i
0:27:02.240,0:27:06.880
can come up with here
0:27:04.000,0:27:08.240
is the haunted mansion stuff where if
0:27:06.880,0:27:10.720
you wanted to buy
0:27:08.240,0:27:12.240
uh well up until just fairly recently
0:27:10.720,0:27:13.760
right you couldn’t buy the haunted
0:27:12.240,0:27:15.679
mansion stuff unless it was stuff that
0:27:13.760,0:27:17.520
was on the cart outside the attraction
0:27:15.679,0:27:18.720
right you know until they open up
0:27:17.520,0:27:20.799
momenta mori’s
0:27:18.720,0:27:22.960
right you couldn’t get a lot of that
0:27:20.799,0:27:25.679
stuff right and that’s the thing is for
0:27:22.960,0:27:26.159
haunted mansion fans you know there was
0:27:25.679,0:27:28.640
so
0:27:26.159,0:27:30.480
little out there for so many years it
0:27:28.640,0:27:31.919
was you know every now and then one
0:27:30.480,0:27:34.559
little thing would kind of pop
0:27:31.919,0:27:35.520
up but what’s kind of funny to kind of
0:27:34.559,0:27:38.880
add to that
0:27:35.520,0:27:40.880
is back in the day the only people that
0:27:38.880,0:27:42.960
had a mickey mouse t-shirt
0:27:40.880,0:27:44.240
were people that went to disneyland or
0:27:42.960,0:27:47.120
disney world
0:27:44.240,0:27:49.120
so you know we’re talking like you know
0:27:47.120,0:27:52.640
back when you know like
0:27:49.120,0:27:54.480
the 50s the 60s the 70s even
0:27:52.640,0:27:56.240
you know so if you saw somebody wearing
0:27:54.480,0:27:59.039
a mickey mouse t-shirt
0:27:56.240,0:27:59.360
that meant that they got it from disney
0:27:59.039,0:28:02.000
or
0:27:59.360,0:28:02.960
somebody they knew got it from disney so
0:28:02.000,0:28:06.240
you know it
0:28:02.960,0:28:08.240
now you can go to target in walmart and
0:28:06.240,0:28:09.840
heck you can go to you know the grocery
0:28:08.240,0:28:12.559
store and find
0:28:09.840,0:28:13.840
you know something with a mouse on it so
0:28:12.559,0:28:17.120
there isn’t that
0:28:13.840,0:28:19.679
specialty you know
0:28:17.120,0:28:20.320
item you know so much i think that’s
0:28:19.679,0:28:22.080
what
0:28:20.320,0:28:23.840
i think that’s what confuses me about
0:28:22.080,0:28:27.520
disney is that
0:28:23.840,0:28:28.399
disney their primary focus is making
0:28:27.520,0:28:31.360
money
0:28:28.399,0:28:33.679
they’ve made no bones about that uh the
0:28:31.360,0:28:36.000
rates that they charge the services they
0:28:33.679,0:28:39.840
offer it’s all about making money
0:28:36.000,0:28:41.919
so why would you restrict the
0:28:39.840,0:28:43.760
the market in which you’re going to sell
0:28:41.919,0:28:44.240
these things that aren’t they’re not
0:28:43.760,0:28:47.279
small
0:28:44.240,0:28:49.760
ticket items right i mean you’re looking
0:28:47.279,0:28:54.159
at items that are
0:28:49.760,0:28:57.440
from that list alone right at least 150
0:28:54.159,0:29:00.000
per shot right minimum so why would you
0:28:57.440,0:29:00.720
limit the market that you’re going to
0:29:00.000,0:29:03.919
offer that
0:29:00.720,0:29:05.600
at when you have a huge
0:29:03.919,0:29:07.360
group of people out there who want to
0:29:05.600,0:29:08.880
buy this yeah i don’t know and maybe
0:29:07.360,0:29:12.080
that’s kind of
0:29:08.880,0:29:14.799
you know like how even
0:29:12.080,0:29:15.120
with with haunted mansion stuff now you
0:29:14.799,0:29:18.000
know
0:29:15.120,0:29:18.960
for the anniversary the 50th anniversary
0:29:18.000,0:29:21.200
last year
0:29:18.960,0:29:23.760
they released you know things that you
0:29:21.200,0:29:25.520
could get at hot topic and target and
0:29:23.760,0:29:27.520
you know everybody kind of had their own
0:29:25.520,0:29:28.399
like exclusive thing and they kind of
0:29:27.520,0:29:30.640
did
0:29:28.399,0:29:31.440
spread the wealth a little yet there
0:29:30.640,0:29:34.559
were still
0:29:31.440,0:29:35.520
things that were only exclusive to the
0:29:34.559,0:29:37.600
parks
0:29:35.520,0:29:39.520
and maybe that’s kind of you know like
0:29:37.600,0:29:42.480
okay we’re giving target
0:29:39.520,0:29:43.520
some items here and i can see perfect
0:29:42.480,0:29:46.960
exclusives
0:29:43.520,0:29:48.399
for events right okay like when you used
0:29:46.960,0:29:51.279
to do star wars weekends
0:29:48.399,0:29:51.840
right you had to go there to get it
0:29:51.279,0:29:53.919
right
0:29:51.840,0:29:55.200
right but you have an entire product
0:29:53.919,0:29:57.600
line here and then
0:29:55.200,0:29:59.600
in order for someone to come and buy
0:29:57.600,0:30:00.240
that product line they have to travel to
0:29:59.600,0:30:03.440
florida
0:30:00.240,0:30:06.399
right or california they have to pay
0:30:03.440,0:30:08.399
buy a ticket to get in 100 or more to
0:30:06.399,0:30:11.679
get into the park
0:30:08.399,0:30:15.520
just to go shopping right i mean that’s
0:30:11.679,0:30:17.600
that’s a little insane there so
0:30:15.520,0:30:18.799
when you could be selling this stuff on
0:30:17.600,0:30:19.679
your website it’s not even like you
0:30:18.799,0:30:22.399
don’t have a
0:30:19.679,0:30:23.200
e-commerce presence right right it’s
0:30:22.399,0:30:25.279
already there
0:30:23.200,0:30:26.240
yeah it makes no sense that you would
0:30:25.279,0:30:29.840
you would shut that
0:30:26.240,0:30:32.000
yeah but anyway that was all we had for
0:30:29.840,0:30:33.679

0:31:45.679,0:31:48.960
and now for entertainment news of the
0:31:48.000,0:31:51.440
week
0:31:48.960,0:31:52.399
so it seems that marvel is about to
0:31:51.440,0:31:55.440
introduce what
0:31:52.399,0:31:56.720
could be the most pivotal and fearsome
0:31:55.440,0:32:00.559
character yet
0:31:56.720,0:32:03.600
so obviously the infinity saga
0:32:00.559,0:32:06.880
uh had officially you know ended with uh
0:32:03.600,0:32:09.760
avengers end game in 2019 and now
0:32:06.880,0:32:10.640
we’re all waiting for the next uh you
0:32:09.760,0:32:12.720
know
0:32:10.640,0:32:14.000
set of movies to come out for for these
0:32:12.720,0:32:16.799
marvel films
0:32:14.000,0:32:17.919
so in recent reports have claimed that
0:32:16.799,0:32:20.880
the forthcoming
0:32:17.919,0:32:21.840
third ant-man film will introduce a
0:32:20.880,0:32:24.640
character
0:32:21.840,0:32:25.840
named kang the conqueror who will be
0:32:24.640,0:32:28.240
played by
0:32:25.840,0:32:30.640
jonathan majors so those that are
0:32:28.240,0:32:32.320
unfamiliar like myself with the comics
0:32:30.640,0:32:35.039
may be interested to know that
0:32:32.320,0:32:36.960
he is one of the most powerful and
0:32:35.039,0:32:38.799
important villains to have ever been
0:32:36.960,0:32:41.200
created by marvel
0:32:38.799,0:32:42.480
essentially he is a time-hopping
0:32:41.200,0:32:45.600
antagonist
0:32:42.480,0:32:47.519
who will no doubt appear as a conquest
0:32:45.600,0:32:48.960
for the avengers creation of an
0:32:47.519,0:32:52.080
alternate timeline
0:32:48.960,0:32:54.240
in endgame his character’s power comes
0:32:52.080,0:32:57.360
from the fact that he can manipulate
0:32:54.240,0:32:58.720
the course of history by freely moving
0:32:57.360,0:33:02.960
through time
0:32:58.720,0:33:05.600
um so one of the other things uh
0:33:02.960,0:33:06.399
you know again for people that aren’t in
0:33:05.600,0:33:09.279
the know
0:33:06.399,0:33:09.840
like me um that he is actually a primary
0:33:09.279,0:33:12.640
character
0:33:09.840,0:33:13.039
from the fantastic four comics meaning
0:33:12.640,0:33:16.480
that
0:33:13.039,0:33:19.559
obviously they’re hoping to set up
0:33:16.480,0:33:23.519
you know the next recreation
0:33:19.559,0:33:26.559
of the fantastic four um
0:33:23.519,0:33:27.360
and that also he has ties um that could
0:33:26.559,0:33:30.159
introduce the
0:33:27.360,0:33:31.279
x-men into the fold uh sooner than
0:33:30.159,0:33:33.760
expected
0:33:31.279,0:33:34.720
um as well as a young version of the
0:33:33.760,0:33:37.919
avengers
0:33:34.720,0:33:38.880
which includes ant-man’s daughter cassie
0:33:37.919,0:33:41.919
um
0:33:38.880,0:33:44.960
so this is kind of good news
0:33:41.919,0:33:48.480
for marvel fans that have
0:33:44.960,0:33:50.080
been waiting to to hear who the next
0:33:48.480,0:33:51.519
you know villain could be and where the
0:33:50.080,0:33:53.360
next you know
0:33:51.519,0:33:54.799
storyline is going since we haven’t
0:33:53.360,0:33:57.840
really heard much
0:33:54.799,0:33:59.440
about the movies we have heard about
0:33:57.840,0:34:01.279
you know the various shows that are
0:33:59.440,0:34:02.480
going to be coming to disney plus but
0:34:01.279,0:34:06.000
nothing about
0:34:02.480,0:34:09.119
the next uh version of the the mcu
0:34:06.000,0:34:09.839
so this is kind of kind of cool to to
0:34:09.119,0:34:14.079
hear about
0:34:09.839,0:34:16.159
so yeah and i and i suppose that
0:34:14.079,0:34:18.000
everything that we’re seeing now and
0:34:16.159,0:34:19.679
speculating on now
0:34:18.000,0:34:21.200
is gonna be nothing like how we’re going
0:34:19.679,0:34:22.560
to actually see it play out in the
0:34:21.200,0:34:24.560
movies because
0:34:22.560,0:34:27.200
we went through all the speculation with
0:34:24.560,0:34:28.159
the infinity stones and the tesseract
0:34:27.200,0:34:30.399
and
0:34:28.159,0:34:31.919
you know thanos and all that stuff and
0:34:30.399,0:34:34.079
none of that played out the way that we
0:34:31.919,0:34:36.079
thought it was going to play out uh
0:34:34.079,0:34:37.440
so it’s kind of fun playing these little
0:34:36.079,0:34:40.560
guessing games here
0:34:37.440,0:34:40.879
what are they gonna do next but you know
0:34:40.560,0:34:44.399
we’ve
0:34:40.879,0:34:46.320
we’ve been waiting for them to pick up
0:34:44.399,0:34:48.320
fantastic four we knew they’ve had that
0:34:46.320,0:34:50.159
in the wings there right
0:34:48.320,0:34:51.520
because the last two iterations of it
0:34:50.159,0:34:54.480
have
0:34:51.520,0:34:56.399
not been not been so spectacular so i
0:34:54.480,0:34:58.320
think in the hands of marvel studios
0:34:56.399,0:35:01.200
they’ll do better
0:34:58.320,0:35:02.640
the question mark is still x-men because
0:35:01.200,0:35:05.440
the licensing on x-men
0:35:02.640,0:35:06.720
is still kind of up in the air right
0:35:05.440,0:35:08.560
they don’t have the rights to
0:35:06.720,0:35:11.040
just like they don’t have the rights to
0:35:08.560,0:35:12.880
uh spider-man at this point in time
0:35:11.040,0:35:14.720
so anything they do with x-men they’re
0:35:12.880,0:35:15.440
going to have to work out the details
0:35:14.720,0:35:18.079
there right
0:35:15.440,0:35:19.359
right but and i think it’s exciting i
0:35:18.079,0:35:20.880
think it’s definitely going to take us
0:35:19.359,0:35:23.200
down a different path
0:35:20.880,0:35:24.480
he’s the most powerful and most
0:35:23.200,0:35:26.320
intimidating
0:35:24.480,0:35:28.560
villain since the last most powerful and
0:35:26.320,0:35:33.359
intimidating villain so
0:35:28.560,0:35:38.079
welcome to comic books folks nice
0:35:33.359,0:35:39.760
so ah macy’s thanksgiving day parade is
0:35:38.079,0:35:40.880
not gonna be quite the same as it
0:35:39.760,0:35:43.599
usually is no
0:35:40.880,0:35:44.800
no it is not so the macy’s thanksgiving

new york city mayor bill de blasio had
0:36:01.280,0:36:05.680
made the announcement on monday
0:36:02.880,0:36:07.520
stating that instead of a live event the

team behind the parade is working on
0:36:07.520,0:36:10.880
something unique
0:36:08.800,0:36:13.200

the joy of that day on television
0:36:44.960,0:36:50.240
online not in a live parade but
0:36:48.000,0:36:53.440
something that will really give us that
0:36:50.240,0:36:56.320
warmth and that great feeling that we
0:36:53.440,0:36:57.520
all have on thanksgiving day for more
0:36:56.320,0:36:59.359
than 90 years the
0:36:57.520,0:37:01.359
macy’s thanksgiving day parade has
0:36:59.359,0:37:03.280
kicked off the holiday season with its
0:37:01.359,0:37:05.200
signature entertainment
0:37:03.280,0:37:06.800
spectacle making it one of the most
0:37:05.200,0:37:10.160
beloved events
0:37:06.800,0:37:12.480
he said following our successful safe uh
0:37:10.160,0:37:13.520
production of the macy’s fourth of july
0:37:12.480,0:37:16.800
fireworks
0:37:13.520,0:37:18.960
it is our intention to similarly imagine
0:37:16.800,0:37:21.839
macy’s thanksgiving day parade
0:37:18.960,0:37:23.680
this november stay tuned for more
0:37:21.839,0:37:27.359
details this fall
0:37:23.680,0:37:30.560
um you know it’s
0:37:27.359,0:37:34.000
not surprising that you know
0:37:30.560,0:37:36.480
the news came out um because you see
0:37:34.000,0:37:38.000
disney and and all the other theme parks
0:37:36.480,0:37:41.119
that do
0:37:38.000,0:37:42.000
fireworks and do parades have cancelled
0:37:41.119,0:37:44.720
them or they’ve
0:37:42.000,0:37:47.040
modified the way that they are um you
0:37:44.720,0:37:50.079
know for the the macy’s parade
0:37:47.040,0:37:51.200
um you know for those that that live up
0:37:50.079,0:37:54.480
in that area
0:37:51.200,0:37:56.480
a lot of families go um
0:37:54.480,0:37:58.320
wednesday night to watch the balloons
0:37:56.480,0:38:00.960
being blown up
0:37:58.320,0:38:01.599
um there are families that you know will
0:38:00.960,0:38:04.240
wait for
0:38:01.599,0:38:05.440
hours you know on the city streets to to
0:38:04.240,0:38:08.240
watch the parade
0:38:05.440,0:38:10.240
or those that work nearby or have
0:38:08.240,0:38:12.800
apartments nearby they’ll do
0:38:10.240,0:38:14.640
parade watching you know from from the
0:38:12.800,0:38:17.520
buildings and stuff
0:38:14.640,0:38:20.000
um so it’ll be interesting to see how
0:38:17.520,0:38:21.839
they kind of pull this off
0:38:20.000,0:38:23.760
virtually you know obviously
0:38:21.839,0:38:24.560
pre-recorded you know they they always
0:38:23.760,0:38:28.720
had
0:38:24.560,0:38:32.160
the um any of the musical entertainment
0:38:28.720,0:38:35.359
was usually pre-recorded music
0:38:32.160,0:38:37.920
you know the the singers would just
0:38:35.359,0:38:38.400
lip-sync it um but they always would do
0:38:37.920,0:38:41.440
little
0:38:38.400,0:38:44.960
um bits for musical numbers of
0:38:41.440,0:38:46.240
various uh broadway shows you could
0:38:44.960,0:38:48.800
technically
0:38:46.240,0:38:50.240
do that but none of the broadway shows
0:38:48.800,0:38:52.400
are open right now
0:38:50.240,0:38:54.640
you know they could get away with this
0:38:52.400,0:38:57.280
as simply as using stock footage and
0:38:54.640,0:38:58.079
showing you some historical parades from
0:38:57.280,0:39:01.200
the past
0:38:58.079,0:39:04.480
sure it could totally be a
0:39:01.200,0:39:06.800
historic you know look at the
0:39:04.480,0:39:07.839
the 90 years let’s let’s go back you
0:39:06.800,0:39:09.760
know review
0:39:07.839,0:39:11.200
of what how this parade has evolved
0:39:09.760,0:39:12.480
let’s look at a different action you
0:39:11.200,0:39:16.000
could even
0:39:12.480,0:39:17.280
do pre-recorded uh segments and stuff
0:39:16.000,0:39:19.200
like that that are
0:39:17.280,0:39:20.560
off the parade route and and things like
0:39:19.200,0:39:22.320
that so right
0:39:20.560,0:39:23.599
there’s ways to do it i think what
0:39:22.320,0:39:25.200
you’re going to miss out
0:39:23.599,0:39:27.040
i think the television experience
0:39:25.200,0:39:29.280
probably will be fine for the television
0:39:27.040,0:39:31.040
viewers right what you’re going to miss
0:39:29.280,0:39:33.119
is that in-person appearance
0:39:31.040,0:39:34.240
right family tradition of going like we
0:39:33.119,0:39:37.040
have friends that go
0:39:34.240,0:39:37.920
right the night before to watch this
0:39:37.040,0:39:39.440
stuff right
0:39:37.920,0:39:40.960
and they they stay in the city and they
0:39:39.440,0:39:42.640
watch the parade
0:39:40.960,0:39:44.240
it’s that experience that you’re going
0:39:42.640,0:39:47.359
to lose right
0:39:44.240,0:39:49.760
so that’s the unfortunate part but
0:39:47.359,0:39:50.800
you know it is what it is this is what
0:39:49.760,0:39:53.359
you have to do these days
0:39:50.800,0:39:55.200
right but at least it’s not like you
0:39:53.359,0:39:56.240
know the broadway shows where you can’t
0:39:55.200,0:39:59.119
go and see
0:39:56.240,0:40:01.520
uh you know a broadway show even though
0:39:59.119,0:40:04.720
pbs and other places have been
0:40:01.520,0:40:07.280
uh you know streaming them
0:40:04.720,0:40:08.560
you know it it kind of makes sense um
0:40:07.280,0:40:10.800
you know and one of the other things
0:40:08.560,0:40:14.319
that obviously came out as well
0:40:10.800,0:40:17.359
is that the uh radio city music hall the
0:40:14.319,0:40:20.800
christmas spectacular also has been
0:40:17.359,0:40:22.560
canceled and that’s a big event um
0:40:20.800,0:40:24.560
that and i think that’s kind of the
0:40:22.560,0:40:25.280
theme of 2020. yeah this year’s just
0:40:24.560,0:40:28.160
been camped
0:40:25.280,0:40:28.720
yeah you know next year look for us next
0:40:28.160,0:40:31.359
year
0:40:28.720,0:40:33.599
yeah you know take the time to to
0:40:31.359,0:40:35.760
reflect and and spend time with
0:40:33.599,0:40:38.079
with your loved ones stay home enjoy the
0:40:35.760,0:40:39.599
family save a few bucks and next year

maybe we’ll come back and start the
0:40:39.599,0:40:44.720
world again yeah yeah
0:40:41.280,0:40:47.359

[Applause]
0:40:57.040,0:41:00.720

0:40:59.599,0:41:03.680
actually gonna be
0:41:00.720,0:41:04.000
a disney detective story i had started
0:41:03.680,0:41:06.400
uh
0:41:04.000,0:41:08.000
writing it up that way and then as i
0:41:06.400,0:41:09.680
realized it was really more of an
0:41:08.000,0:41:12.000
insightful pick
0:41:09.680,0:41:14.400
so during the time of lockdown disney
0:41:12.000,0:41:17.440
has been trying to share some joy with
0:41:14.400,0:41:19.920
various videos on their youtube channel
0:41:17.440,0:41:22.160
and as we’ve talked about before they’ve
0:41:19.920,0:41:25.200
released various recipes
0:41:22.160,0:41:26.560
for uh park food favorites we had the
0:41:25.200,0:41:30.000
dole whip recipe
0:41:26.560,0:41:32.640
they had beignets um you know
0:41:30.000,0:41:34.079
the gray stuff even you know was
0:41:32.640,0:41:35.920
something that came out
0:41:34.079,0:41:37.359
and now they’ve actually added some
0:41:35.920,0:41:39.839
videos um
0:41:37.359,0:41:41.680
to give you some secrets about some of
0:41:39.839,0:41:44.720
the most beloved rides
0:41:41.680,0:41:45.599
um so this week they actually posted a
0:41:44.720,0:41:48.560
little video
0:41:45.599,0:41:49.839
about pirates of the caribbean in
0:41:48.560,0:41:51.920
disneyland
0:41:49.839,0:41:54.079
now kind of appropriate because today is
0:41:51.920,0:41:56.160
talk like a pirate day but i’m not gonna
0:41:54.079,0:41:57.839
i’m not gonna do that um what’s
0:41:56.160,0:41:59.599
interesting is that these videos are you
0:41:57.839,0:42:00.960
know little two minute videos that kind
0:41:59.599,0:42:03.680
of give you a little
0:42:00.960,0:42:04.880
quick history about the ride um so for
0:42:03.680,0:42:07.200
the disneyland
0:42:04.880,0:42:09.920
uh pirates of the caribbean you know
0:42:07.200,0:42:12.400
that they kind of do a ride through
0:42:09.920,0:42:13.599
and i think they have it listed as a
0:42:12.400,0:42:15.440
ride and learn
0:42:13.599,0:42:17.839
um when you’re watching the video and it
0:42:15.440,0:42:20.240
talks about how like exotensio
0:42:17.839,0:42:21.359
voiced the skeleton that is seen before
0:42:20.240,0:42:23.359
the first drop
0:42:21.359,0:42:24.960
and that he’s also responsible for the
0:42:23.359,0:42:28.319
lyrics of the song
0:42:24.960,0:42:30.560
yoho a pirate’s life for me um and that
0:42:28.319,0:42:33.040
this ride was actually the last
0:42:30.560,0:42:34.480
that walt helped to develop before he
0:42:33.040,0:42:37.599
had passed away
0:42:34.480,0:42:40.240
um and another little tidbit about it
0:42:37.599,0:42:42.160
is that the local fire department when
0:42:40.240,0:42:43.040
they were visiting to sign off on the
0:42:42.160,0:42:45.599
permits
0:42:43.040,0:42:46.480
they were so convinced by the fire
0:42:45.599,0:42:48.480
effects
0:42:46.480,0:42:49.680
that they required that during an
0:42:48.480,0:42:53.200
emergency
0:42:49.680,0:42:56.160
the fire effects are turned off not to
0:42:53.200,0:42:58.240
confuse people to think that they that
0:42:56.160,0:42:59.520
the ride was really on fire so that was
0:42:58.240,0:43:02.800
that was kind of a
0:42:59.520,0:43:05.359
interesting little thing um then there
0:43:02.800,0:43:08.400
was another video that they posted about
0:43:05.359,0:43:10.079
radiator springs racers which was one of
0:43:08.400,0:43:11.359
the rides that maddie and i got to
0:43:10.079,0:43:15.200
experience when we
0:43:11.359,0:43:17.119
were out in california a few years ago
0:43:15.200,0:43:19.520
and it talks about how that with the
0:43:17.119,0:43:21.440
exception of two of the characters
0:43:19.520,0:43:23.119
all of the original actors from the
0:43:21.440,0:43:26.400
movies voiced
0:43:23.119,0:43:28.960
their various characters that are seen
0:43:26.400,0:43:31.119
on on the ride and that those
0:43:28.960,0:43:32.800
animatronic audio animatronics are
0:43:31.119,0:43:36.800
actually the most advanced
0:43:32.800,0:43:39.640
they created for uh this ride
0:43:36.800,0:43:43.920
and that on average each car performs
0:43:39.640,0:43:46.160
1.5 million times a year
0:43:43.920,0:43:47.040
and that each ride vehicle actually
0:43:46.160,0:43:50.400
travels
0:43:47.040,0:43:51.760
36 000 miles a year so it’s it’s a
0:43:50.400,0:43:54.640
pretty long ride and
0:43:51.760,0:43:55.599
um so that was kind of cool um and then
0:43:54.640,0:43:58.640
obviously
0:43:55.599,0:44:00.960
one of my most favorite videos i bet you
0:43:58.640,0:44:03.920
can’t guess what ride it’s about
0:44:00.960,0:44:05.599
it’s a small world how’d you know is
0:44:03.920,0:44:07.599
about the haunted mansion
0:44:05.599,0:44:08.720
and this is kind of neat because it’s
0:44:07.599,0:44:11.839
again
0:44:08.720,0:44:15.040
two minute little you know uh
0:44:11.839,0:44:19.040
documentary on it um and it’s actually
0:44:15.040,0:44:21.839
uh disney legend uh raleigh crump
0:44:19.040,0:44:22.880
talks about his shared experience about
0:44:21.839,0:44:26.400
creating
0:44:22.880,0:44:28.880
um the haunted mansion and
0:44:26.400,0:44:29.599
um what’s funny is like all of his ideas
0:44:28.880,0:44:32.560
that he
0:44:29.599,0:44:34.400
put into it none of them got added in
0:44:32.560,0:44:36.400
you know that basically
0:44:34.400,0:44:37.839
it’s you know he worked with it with
0:44:36.400,0:44:41.599
yale gracie
0:44:37.839,0:44:43.280
and you know 90 of what yale did
0:44:41.599,0:44:45.040
is your current haunted mansion so if
0:44:43.280,0:44:46.880
you took out you know
0:44:45.040,0:44:48.800
all the different effects that that yale
0:44:46.880,0:44:49.520
put into it you wouldn’t even have a
0:44:48.800,0:44:52.400
ride
0:44:49.520,0:44:53.920
but one of the neat things is that
0:44:52.400,0:44:58.160
somebody had asked him
0:44:53.920,0:44:59.760
if the wallpaper was his idea and he was
0:44:58.160,0:45:02.800
like i don’t think it was
0:44:59.760,0:45:06.000
and what it was was another artist took
0:45:02.800,0:45:06.880
one of his ideas of chandeliers that he
0:45:06.000,0:45:09.119
had that
0:45:06.880,0:45:10.400
again none of his original ideas went
0:45:09.119,0:45:13.680
into the haunted mansion
0:45:10.400,0:45:16.640
and kind of modified it and that became
0:45:13.680,0:45:17.520
the wallpaper so his you know original
0:45:16.640,0:45:20.400
designs kind of
0:45:17.520,0:45:21.680
inspired something that is is in and
0:45:20.400,0:45:24.240
beloved by
0:45:21.680,0:45:24.720
haunted mansion fans so really kind of
0:45:24.240,0:45:27.040
cool
0:45:24.720,0:45:29.359
different unique things so if you go to
0:45:27.040,0:45:31.040
to disney parks on youtube
0:45:29.359,0:45:32.480
they have all these various different
0:45:31.040,0:45:35.520
videos again uh
0:45:32.480,0:45:36.720
park and learn different food recipes
0:45:35.520,0:45:38.720
and you can kind of just
0:45:36.720,0:45:40.319
go down that rabbit hole and spend a
0:45:38.720,0:45:42.480
couple of hours getting your
0:45:40.319,0:45:43.359
your disney on if you’re not going to
0:45:42.480,0:45:47.839
the parks
0:45:43.359,0:45:47.839
cool well good pick thank you
0:45:48.840,0:45:53.920
[Applause]
0:45:50.800,0:45:55.680
so my pick this week much to
0:45:53.920,0:45:57.440
everyone’s surprise i’m sure it’s a
0:45:55.680,0:46:00.560
documentary not
0:45:57.440,0:46:02.720
a documentary it is actually
0:46:00.560,0:46:04.720
a video game not even a video game it’s
0:46:02.720,0:46:05.520
actually an add-on to a video game and
0:46:04.720,0:46:08.319
this is one
0:46:05.520,0:46:10.319
that our daughter had turned me on to
0:46:08.319,0:46:14.800
she plays sims 4.
0:46:10.319,0:46:17.119
yes she does she got me into sims 4.
0:46:14.800,0:46:18.800
now the base game of sims 4 does have
0:46:17.119,0:46:20.319
some star wars elements in there with
0:46:18.800,0:46:21.839
some costuming and some
0:46:20.319,0:46:23.920
props and stuff like that that you can
0:46:21.839,0:46:27.280
get for the houses
0:46:23.920,0:46:30.640
but what just recently dropped was
0:46:27.280,0:46:35.119
star wars journey to batu game pack
0:46:30.640,0:46:36.480
for sims 4. you can create your star
0:46:35.119,0:46:38.160
wars story
0:46:36.480,0:46:40.240
the resistance first order and
0:46:38.160,0:46:43.440
scoundrels are fighting to control
0:46:40.240,0:46:46.720
batu but your sims actions determine
0:46:43.440,0:46:49.359
who will succeed as sims undertake
0:46:46.720,0:46:51.440
challenges and special missions you’ll
0:46:49.359,0:46:53.680
tip the balance of power
0:46:51.440,0:46:54.480
your influence not only changes the
0:46:53.680,0:46:56.720
world
0:46:54.480,0:46:58.000
but also unlocks rewards like
0:46:56.720,0:47:00.880
starfighter access
0:46:58.000,0:47:02.480
new outfits and critical missions on
0:47:00.880,0:47:05.520
that too
0:47:02.480,0:47:09.119
and the one thing that’s really neat is
0:47:05.520,0:47:12.480
if you’ve been to galaxy’s edge
0:47:09.119,0:47:15.280
at any of the disney parks this
0:47:12.480,0:47:16.720
is faithfully recreated in this
0:47:15.280,0:47:18.960
expansion
0:47:16.720,0:47:20.559
um it’s not an area in sims that you can
0:47:18.960,0:47:23.359
build a house and live there it’s
0:47:20.559,0:47:27.280
actually a vacation destination
0:47:23.359,0:47:29.359
but it is almost
0:47:27.280,0:47:30.480
a hundred percent accurate when it comes
0:47:29.359,0:47:34.880
to
0:47:30.480,0:47:39.359
the scale the layout the features
0:47:34.880,0:47:41.280
all the major locations in galaxy’s edge
0:47:39.359,0:47:42.559
show up in here so you can go to doc
0:47:41.280,0:47:45.839
ondars you can go
0:47:42.559,0:47:47.520
to cantina
0:47:45.839,0:47:50.800
you can go see the millennium falcon
0:47:47.520,0:47:54.400
that’s a destination that you have here
0:47:50.800,0:47:54.400
you can go to
0:47:55.359,0:48:02.160
black spire the black spire is you know
0:47:58.400,0:48:05.200
of physical feature in this pack
0:48:02.160,0:48:07.680
so it’s you know
0:48:05.200,0:48:09.599
very faithful to the actual attraction
0:48:07.680,0:48:11.119
itself but there’s story elements that
0:48:09.599,0:48:13.599
are involved
0:48:11.119,0:48:14.720
there are and they and they play on the
0:48:13.599,0:48:17.920
story elements that are
0:48:14.720,0:48:20.480
in galaxy’s edge as well so there is
0:48:17.920,0:48:21.920
a first order storyline and a resistance
0:48:20.480,0:48:24.240
storyline
0:48:21.920,0:48:26.240
and those elements play out in the game
0:48:24.240,0:48:28.000
itself depending on
0:48:26.240,0:48:30.000
where you build up your reputation
0:48:28.000,0:48:31.359
you’ll unlock certain functions and
0:48:30.000,0:48:33.520
features
0:48:31.359,0:48:34.400
you can find all the parts to build a
0:48:33.520,0:48:36.000
lightsaber
0:48:34.400,0:48:38.319
and you can challenge people to
0:48:36.000,0:48:42.480
lightsaber matches
0:48:38.319,0:48:45.359
it’s very well done uh for an add-on
0:48:42.480,0:48:46.480
and it’s one that i’ve spent hours just
0:48:45.359,0:48:48.960
getting lost in
0:48:46.480,0:48:50.640
and playing around in and you know
0:48:48.960,0:48:53.359
having
0:48:50.640,0:48:53.920
unusual intimate conversations with kylo
0:48:53.359,0:48:57.040
ren
0:48:53.920,0:48:59.280
at times and because why not uh
0:48:57.040,0:49:01.040
yeah well you know it’s one of the only
0:48:59.280,0:49:03.680
star wars games out there
0:49:01.040,0:49:04.240
that that takes into account the newer
0:49:03.680,0:49:07.760
things
0:49:04.240,0:49:10.480
the newer elements of of star wars so
0:49:07.760,0:49:12.000
kind of fun it’s only i want to say like
0:49:10.480,0:49:13.280
20 bucks i don’t know what the price is
0:49:12.000,0:49:15.200
but it’s not that expensive if you
0:49:13.280,0:49:17.359
already have sims 4.
0:49:15.200,0:49:20.640
um but what’s really neat is you have
0:49:17.359,0:49:20.640
all the build elements from
0:49:20.960,0:49:25.599
expansion pack that you can build a
0:49:23.359,0:49:28.880
millennium falcon for a home or you can
0:49:25.599,0:49:29.440
build you know a tattooing style home
0:49:28.880,0:49:32.400
and you can
0:49:29.440,0:49:34.480
outfit it with cantina you know uh
0:49:32.400,0:49:36.480
memorabilia
0:49:34.480,0:49:39.440
and baby yodas and you can have
0:49:36.480,0:49:41.599
different species of characters now so
0:49:39.440,0:49:43.359
it’s kind of a cool addition to to the
0:49:41.599,0:49:46.800
game itself and it’s
0:49:43.359,0:49:50.800
a fresh take on on star wars
0:49:46.800,0:49:51.680
very cool pick so star wars journey to
0:49:50.800,0:49:58.550
the two
0:49:51.680,0:50:00.400
uh from ea games for sims 4.
0:49:58.550,0:50:04.160
[Applause]
0:50:00.400,0:50:05.920
so uh that was really all we had for the
0:50:04.160,0:50:09.839
show
0:50:05.920,0:50:14.559
i did have you know we we did have some
0:50:09.839,0:50:16.079
sad news that hit us yesterday
0:50:14.559,0:50:18.079
that i wanted to kind of address and i
0:50:16.079,0:50:22.400
didn’t have the the link up let me
0:50:18.079,0:50:24.800
throw my link up here real quick um
0:50:22.400,0:50:26.240
and i wrote up a little tribute so i’ll
0:50:24.800,0:50:27.440
try and read it and try not to get
0:50:26.240,0:50:30.319
emotional while
0:50:27.440,0:50:32.800
while i’m reading it uh this is a
0:50:30.319,0:50:35.680
tribute to a real-life heroine
0:50:32.800,0:50:38.480
we talk about comic book heroes and
0:50:35.680,0:50:40.480
superheroes a lot on this podcast
0:50:38.480,0:50:42.960
and while the various works of fiction
0:50:40.480,0:50:45.920
that feature these characters
0:50:42.960,0:50:47.680
is a source of relief inspiration and
0:50:45.920,0:50:50.240
hope for us
0:50:47.680,0:50:50.880
this week we lost a real hero that
0:50:50.240,0:50:54.079
embodied
0:50:50.880,0:50:55.200
all those qualities and more supreme
0:50:54.079,0:50:58.079
court justice
0:50:55.200,0:50:59.680
ruth bader ginsburg champion of gender
0:50:58.079,0:51:03.760
equality
0:50:59.680,0:51:05.760
has died at the age of 87 after a long
0:51:03.760,0:51:08.079
and surprisingly successful struggle
0:51:05.760,0:51:10.480
with cancer
0:51:08.079,0:51:12.960
architect of the legal fight for women’s
0:51:10.480,0:51:15.280
rights in the 1970s
0:51:12.960,0:51:18.000
the notorious rbg as she was
0:51:15.280,0:51:20.960
affectionately called in recent years
0:51:18.000,0:51:22.000
subsequently served 27 years on the
0:51:20.960,0:51:25.760
nation’s highest
0:51:22.000,0:51:28.559
court becoming its most prominent member
0:51:25.760,0:51:29.839
the notorious rpg has been many things
0:51:28.559,0:51:34.160
to many people
0:51:29.839,0:51:36.319
in her 87 years but most importantly
0:51:34.160,0:51:38.319
she was an inspiration to women and
0:51:36.319,0:51:40.880
girls everywhere
0:51:38.319,0:51:42.319
that no matter how difficult it might be
0:51:40.880,0:51:45.520
to stand up for
0:51:42.319,0:51:46.400
yourself and the rights of others one
0:51:45.520,0:51:49.440
person
0:51:46.400,0:51:52.240
can make a difference she proved that to
0:51:49.440,0:51:55.440
the world on more than one occasion
0:51:52.240,0:51:58.640
we’ve lost a leader an inspiration
0:51:55.440,0:52:00.480
a hero and an amazing woman
0:51:58.640,0:52:01.760
hopefully the legacy that she left
0:52:00.480,0:52:03.760
behind
0:52:01.760,0:52:07.200
will live on through our daughter and
0:52:03.760,0:52:07.200
others from her generation
0:52:11.440,0:52:18.400
so that was all we have for this week um
0:52:15.440,0:52:21.040
i hate i really hate ending the show on
0:52:18.400,0:52:23.359
on sad news like that but
0:52:21.040,0:52:25.920
i i i felt even though it wasn’t really
0:52:23.359,0:52:28.240
entertainment news
0:52:25.920,0:52:30.000
she deserved to have a tribute on the
0:52:28.240,0:52:32.640
show here she’s
0:52:30.000,0:52:33.040
she means a lot to all of us absolutely
0:52:32.640,0:52:36.559
she’s
0:52:33.040,0:52:39.359
it’s obviously had an impact on us
0:52:36.559,0:52:40.240
so we talk about fake heroes all the
0:52:39.359,0:52:44.240
time
0:52:40.240,0:52:45.920
