I definitely feel like there is some tension between them behind-the-scenes. Last year or so, when Dave moved out of Florida, I found it a little odd that Michael didn't mention Dave's departure at all in his vlogs, and he seemed a bit bitter/jealous that Dave was able to spend a lot of time travelling while he was stuck alone (or with his mom?) in Florida.

I won't be surprised if there's tension right now given that Dave didn't even bother editing the video of them getting tested, showing that Michael lied to his viewers.

I can't watch him, I just find it so odd that a 40+ year old man behaves the way he does, it's almost like he has some sort of disorder. I also don't understand how disney approve of him to keep him on the media list.
Who are these people who see this single childless man going on a Disney Cruise ship alone (wearing DCL polos that almost make it look like he wants people to think he is an official vetted employee) thinking about the kids clubs but never once going into the adults clubs at all, and don’t immediately see some serious red flags? That’s not Michael just being Michael just doing what he loves, that’s the premise to what should be the next season of the reboot of ‘To Catch A Predator’ 🚩🚩🚩

Why does he seem intimidated by any social situation involving other adults, but safe and comfortable if it involves children? 🚩🚩🚩

Remember when their high quality pandemic staycation content was them staying at a Disney hotel to try drink combinations from the Coca Cola Freestyle machine in the food court (something they could have just done at their local Wawa)? Why not sit in the highly themed and Imagineered adults only club Skyline on board the Disney Dream, ask the bartender for something non-alcoholic, and talk about which cities we experience in that themed “traveling” lounge and how they are different from the cities in Skyline on the other ship… instead he never entered it even once and his cruise content was just him shirtless by the family pool deck, not even the adults only pool deck, and concerningly fixating on a very young child in a swimsuit when he went to get some ice cream

I like your negativity!!!

I know that it has been more than two years, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around the idea that a guy with no college education (my parents were not college educated so I don't mean that to be derogatory) would give up a cushy gov't job, with a matching contribution retirement plan and health insurance and weeks of paid vacation, to move to a theme park to ingest drink sugar drinks 24/7. It's mind boggling.
Because no one in his life was honest enough to sit him down and tell him, "No. You shouldn't do this."
Whatever the situation was when he moved down with a job, I can almost guarantee he planned to quit as soon as he could.
He never stopped being on vacation and when you're always on vacation, you're never on vacation.
It's why he's always trying to tell us and show us "HOW RELAXED I AM AND FUN I AM HAVING LOOK AT HOW GREAT" when the reality is he's not.
Happy people don't have to keep telling people how happy they are on social media, seeking external validation.

So, if I'm reading this right, even PRIVATE owned islands will be unable to let guests on them that are unvaxxed.
Oh no Mr Mikey might never leave the ship!

I agree. One of the things I respect about FRE is how they always blur him out.
yeah, calling an innocent child "pathetic" when that word should be used to describe his idiot parents is not cool at all, and he should be forced to change his profile name and picture. I just posted a comment on this idiot's YouTube profile, I wish there was a way to report him. And, @Claude4 , the username is not fucking funny at all.

Edit: I just reported him.

It's almost unbelievable that since the cruise debacle not only had his subscriber count dropped by about 100 but he hasn't managed to get 100 new subscribers in almost 3 weeks! If only there was a way for people to give him constructive criticism to help him out. Oh wait ..
What's worse is that he's always polling his Patreon's for their thoughts about his videos. He has a poll now asking what they thought of the Bay Lake Tower vlog. Is it really helpful to your channel to ask the @300 people who are obviously big stans their honest thoughts versus 60,000 viewers? Is it just to boost his ego after reading & deleting the honest constructive criticism?

Looks like Rob Plays cut ties with him even before the pandemic…Ouch. Good for him wanting to distance himself from Mikey and squad.
Rob has good content, it's always well researched. "Well researched" and "Michael Kay" should never be used in the same sentence unless dropping a bomb on MK.

I thought Dave maybe used to be a theatre kid with all the weird over exaggerations in his mouth and facial movements as if he was used to doing it on the stage so people in the back of the room could get it.
It's funny because I saw him in a video for USC RAs (he was an RA) on conflict resolution or something like that. He acted completely normal.

I've seen pics awhile back off someone's FB page (affiliated with USC) of him smiling, looking normal, with girls flanking him (like friends in his same program). He absolutely looked and seemed to act normal; if anything, perhaps a bit shy or introverted (and obviously obsessed w/ gaming) but he nevertheless seemed to have friends at USC.

When he used to be in the background of MK's vlogs, he acted normal. Just a nod here or there, a smile, etc. Honestly, I used to think he was the normal one and felt bad for him sometimes. 🤣

But then after he became a FlOriDa ReSiDEnt, that all changed (and I no longer felt sorry for him haha)

It seems like it was then that he tried to mimic MK with the Disney vlogs and food critiques, etc., he somehow developed this strange over-the-top personality with exaggerated facial expressions, repetitive phrases, useless phrases, talking in circles, etc.

I think that he wants SO badly to rise to the level (whatever level that is) of his bigger bro - who, for all his faults, he clearly idolizes to a certain extent for the free shit people throw at him, that he's created a persona that is NOT really authentic to him.

(and I don't know what the hell to make of Gem and Havoc and the Squirrel music video outside of pointing to my prior stated belief that Mommy always told him everything he did was perfect and wonderful... )

I think my favorite was the too-long view of just the DCL Lougefly bag on a countertop with his voiceover about how much his mother and sister would like that. Does he even try to hide the manipulation of his followers to send expensive gifts for not only him, but his family too!
All that is missing is the sad Sarah McLachlan song in the background and his voiceover "Won't you help me make mom & Michelle smile?"

Michael's cruise video #2 today explains why FRE is going on break: Michael ran hot tub Mike video clips :sick::sick::sick: and played his own soft porn music. there's nothing left to do.
Michael is really in love with himself, isn’t he? He looks 10 years older than he actually is and should really start watching his calorie intake before it gets even more out of hand.

In today’s video he kept marveling at how quiet it was in the morning on the ship and how few people were around. Pretty sure people were just avoiding you and Dave, buddy.

I felt nauseous when he described the ingredients for his “special” ice cream coffee drink. Coffee, ice cream, creamer, several packets of Sweet n Low. Ugh. He drank that right after he had inhaled about 2,500 calories at breakfast.

I'm not buying the pweirdo theory. The guy has put out thousands of hours of footage over the years without anything to substantiate the theory at all. I think the simpler, Peter Pan Syndrome theory is way more likely. The guy is stuck in a 12-year old's world.

Dave's & Mike's Staycation at Bay Lake Tower. Dave did not disclose whether a friend gifted the one room DVC room to him/Michael.

Dave immediately walks from the BLT parking lot to the Contempo Cafe at the Contemporary because "in terms of food" that's where they are going to eat. Another quick service food review is in our immediate futures.

Dave tours around the Contem. hotel grounds, he thinks they are building a bus station in the back of the hotel, he thinks it is odd to do that, he's not wrong, it is odd, too odd to believe. Such a doofus.

At the Contempo Cafe: Dave is amazed by a pastry display. They got a Contempo Burger and a Turkey sandwich. They are good burgers, even the turkey sandwich. The turkey sandwich was smooth, not an overpowering cranberry flavor. If you're in the mood for a burger, get the burger. If you're in the mood for a turkey sandwich, get the turkey. Can't argue with that sound advice.

Next we are catapulted to Dave's room tour, as he enters the room he immediately turns the camera onto his face and starts yelling "just look at this place." OMG so dumb--he is showing us his face but telling us to look at what he is looking at. Highly recommend.

Nice stylings in the bathroom. Shower and toilet have their own room.

Dave went down the water slide, he saw what he saw as he slid down the open slide, we saw his face.

Until next time, play on.

And we are sure that wasn’t the sister who gets woken up in the morning by her naked adult brother slapping her with his towel?
When we watched Dave's girlfriend coming out video, my daughter tracked her down on social media in about 25 seconds.

I don't see anything wrong with this. If I understand correctly, it was for a specific event or something new and they all got together and went on the ride together. Likely very little impact to anyone else's visit and it looks like they are all smiling and having fun.
Ok. I get it. You love vloggers. I don't. ;)

(side note - I'm not sure how Disney is ever OK with a bunch of potential projectiles being held by one hand in the air on a roller coaster)

But besides that, it's a gossip board so people a going to talk shit about the subject matter. Myself included. 🤷‍♀️

Michael's favorite "coffee" on a cruise:

ice cream cone inserted into coffee cup
cream
3 sweet'n lows
coffee (if space permits)

Legit question: why sweet'n low rather than sugar? does sweet'n low turn that sugar concoction into health food? is it magical?
