tart wow it is very good highly recommend this I love it it's um kind of crumbly very good that was very good and is that what lii I think or whatever that's called is very tart not very sweet the fruit's tart this is crumbling good not too sweet I loved it all right just got done eating so very good so I want to tell a little bit about myself but here's where to ask return I really like it if you would take a little bit of time and tell me a little bit about yourself but here's some rules I want to establish some rules here one don't put anything too personal nothing that's going to identify you to other people so like you could say something like I live in Oklahoma or maybe like Oklahoma City or that's fine don't put like your address or whatever because you want to keep your privacy a little bit and then also like don't put it like like just anything that's maybe too identifiable um but other than that I would love to get to know you a little more I'd love to hear uh your stories where are you where do you live how often do you come to Disneyland what are your favorite types of movies um just like all that i' love to hear a little bit about yourself so let me tell you a little bit about myself I uh am big fan of Disney obviously big big fan of Disney I have been ever since I was little um I remember coming here when I was like in seventh grade with my family oh for Thanksgiving and I it was one of the most my favorite moments I loved it I also uh and it wasn't we didn't get to go to come to Disneyland very often so when we did it was a very very big deal a very big treat um how did I get into dis Disney history I love Disney history is something that I absolutely uh adore I love it I think it's fascinating some of that's crazy but what happened when I was I got sick I think I was in seventh or eighth grade and I got sick and I wasn't very good and my mom had a rule that if you're sick if you're too sick to go to school then you she didn't want you to watch your television and so we just lay in bed and be sick we could read books though read books and I was bored and I went down we had like a little bookshelf and I was just kind of thumbing through the bookshelves trying to find something and I found this book called a quarter Century of Disney that was the first 25 years of Disney and it was it was um um I found it was fascinating and it talked about Disney talked about attractions and it talked a lot about like Pirates Caribbean they had like it had drawings like pencil drawings of of what it was supposed to look like and it was so fascinating that I absolutely loved it I devoured it I read it all and thought it was amazing and that's kind of how I started like learning about Disney history and just I loved it so I started read I read a lots of books lots of books the problem with the books with Disney history is a lot of them are not correct they're incorrect books so that was a big problem I had I get a lot of facts and I found out later on I'm like oh that's not really true that's not true so I had to kind of go through and find out what's true now a lot of one of the really good ways is the Disneyland website itself you go on the Disneyland website they'll have like some little interesting facts about their attractions not the crazy deep die facts you know like this fact or that fact so I used to get a lot of information there looking that up but when I the Channel first started and started getting some popularity uh um we had I had a lot of cast members would reach out to us and say did you know this did you know this so appreciative to cast members that's I I mean I love the cast members anyways but that was a really big deal for me to have it just it kind of validated made me feel good I think they they appreciated that we were being positive uh one of the things that we tried to do is we try to only be positive on about Disney um so I'm not going to say something that's just like sensationalism for like quick clicks we're going to try to be super positive about it and uh that that was one of the things that we really tried to make sure we're doing on our Channel if there's something wrong or something I disagree with I'll talk about that but I'm not going to just be like oh my gosh this fun to be positive it's brought me a lot of Joy Disney has um my wife too and so we wanted to share that with people in a positive way right behind me by the way is the golden Zephyr I think the first recorded uh instance of the word zephyr was in a Shakespeare play The Tempest and it means a gentle Brea free golden of course means amazing so gold as ever I love that background isn't that fun this is really cool I don't know if you guys ever saw that I the last time I rode that I rode that with Adam uh uh the woo and Liz and Natalie we all rode that ride together and I got everybody kind of scared you could check out Adam's Vlog if you like to see that it's really fun laughed a lot and there's the golden Zephyr this is also really crazy to me before Mickey and Minnie's runaway Railway that was the only ride attraction that had Mickey Mouse on it and then of course now they have mini Mickey running away raway so now Mickey has her own great attraction so it's not only dizzy history though dizzy history is very probably my favorite type of History um also I liked uh learning about uh World War II the history of that I find fascinating uh business history uh when I was in business I thought like was really important to understand one of the big things for me was like Kodak the company Kodak a lot of you might not know who Kodak is Kodak was they had they would pictures take pictures right and they would you click on it and like they had polaroid pictures and they had or they had like you buy a roll of film and that's what Kodak did and they were they were like the this Mega giant huge Company Rochester New York well they were one of the first companies to invent guess what digital camera they invented this digital camera but they were so worried about digital camera if they pushed that out that people wouldn't buy their film anymore that they suppressed that knowledge they like okay we don't want that technology of of the camera going out the digital camera cuz we want people to buy our film keep buying our film oh guess what happened it went out and then they ended up going out business cuz nobody's buying film anymore so yeah I like I love business uh history and strategy like that's really cool love movies oh what's going on here looks like they're be having a little uh prey thing going on here I'll just keep walking this way anyways I love to learn that I think it gives you an edge in business to understand that and so that as far as movies go I love I love all the like so there is like uh there is like I think there's film critics and they always like I love this movie over here and it's really good and I like all the Blockbuster popcorn summer blockbuster movies I'm not really particularly discriminated that Star Wars radiers last dark radi last dark could be about perfect casting cinematography the music the acting the the everything the action it's just so good R last is really good I do like scary movies my wife and I enjoy scary movies she doesn't really like the super gory like just Gore in your face but she likes she likes a good scare you know a good scary movie my favorite scary movie of all time is a one called The Thing by John Carpenter did it and uh man it was amazing so people they're like waving at me say hi so that was my favorite scary movie of all time one of my I watch your yoube oh hi you do so I'm going to show you a little secret spot here okay so right behind me is that swing with Mickey on the roof I'm going to walk under and then I'm going to hang a left and it takes you around and there's little benches here little places you can just kind of talk and kind of be alone this is a great place for moms with kids um we need to get away and perfect little area it's very quiet so anyways yeah I mean like there's a bench right there I'm sitting on bench there's a bench right [Music] there overlooks the harbor actually maybe I'll just maybe I'll stand up and do this I'm a big reader I like to read books a lot uh Stephen King probably my favorite author I think I've read I think I've

Sports goes baseball is probably my favorite to watch with my friends the family I'm a big Padres fan I love the Padres um and uh I love the rivalries of it with the Dodgers and the Giants and I mean

even I mean people say baseball's boring to watch not for me I I think it's very enjoyable to watch that would be like my dream is to work for a baseball team that would be like like a dream of mine yeah I would love to work for a baseball team um I also when I was younger I always I really wanted to be an actor but I was I think I was too I was never quite confident enough to just go for it so I did acting on the side while I was working at first and I lots of little bit rolls I did lots of commercials I kind of got tired of doing commercials honest you I did a lot of commercials um and it has some small roles in uh and movies and and television um nothing too stand itish but it was a lot of fun I did enjoy it uh but yeah if I then I worked professionally I worked in a professional world that was uh that was very good for me I learned a lot I had a master's degree in computer information systems and then my undergraduate was in communication Styles and communication studies so companies would hire me to Talk technical but in a way that was easy for people to understand and so that's why I did a lot I got um was go for big companies and they hiring me to do a lot of their training and on technical issues you know it was fine I actually I actually enjoyed it I thought it was very fun uh I got a point where then I kind of got uh did a lot of what's called sales enablement um I got hired by company to do a lot of their technical stuff but I was able to help revamp their sales team and and teach them how to be more effective at selling and then they ended up having focus on that and it got really popular that that company would then uh hire me out other large corporations would would uh pay for me to go in and teach their sales staff how to be better at the jobs like these big national chain companies so I really enjoyed that I was doing that when uh I started YouTube our YouTube channel and it was started as a lark it was just kind of fun to do and then it just took off so very very blessed let's go and N next let's check it out like a little little Pixar fun one of the things I like to do is look at their drawings they have here let's go down

can't believe I forgot that uh there is Joy now Joy's interesting character she doesn't have blonde hair the reason the man animators didn't do her blonde hair is they're worried that she had blonde hair she should have blonde hair right she's kind of they all have their colors right cuz this is like blue for sadness but joy they're afraid if she had blonde hair people would confuse her with Tinkerbell so they gave her blue hair to make her uh unique and stand out there's Ellie and Carl Carl and Ellie Carl lelli Carl lelli fear he's supposed to look like a frayed nerve oh it's the Unicorn
