The DIS Unplugged #11 We're still exactly the same. Maybe worse, actually

[PoorKid]

In the last month there have only been about a dozen posts in the 'DIS Unlimited Podcast / Youtube' sub-forum, half of which seem to be about how to reduce the black smoke coming off Magic Candle Company candles. Are they even a sponsor still?

The black smoke is announcing Pete has (figuratively) died. When he's replaced with a decent host, Magic Candle launches its white smoke line.

Welcome to our new thread. Thread title courtesy of @TheNextStacey ... Congrats!! (It was actually a tie between this one and one suggested by @invisobelt, but this thread title came up first in the "most liked posts" search.)

Legit, from one human to another, all my best to him. He's not done anything so bad as to deserve anyone wishing him ill. I really do think a change of jobs (and maybe city) and therapy and a great support network can do a lot to put him in a better situation. I'm rooting for him to get away from what is making him depressed.

I honestly get the feeling that John and Kevin think that Pete didn't really do anything wrong. I think they both have their own skeletons and they haven't spoken out about Pete because they don't care. They really don't think he did anything bad.

I think they are more so mad that he got caught and it all came out. I really don't think they give a rat's ass about the victims.

Update! They actually do have a "studio".... Studio is in quotes because it looks no bigger than a very small office space. No wonder they had so much trouble getting those cUsToM dEsKs in there

Does it look like it's big enough for Kevin's scooter? You know, the entire reason for the studio in the first place?

People really need to stop using their crap travel agency.

Ooh I do love a good bragging post from John and his immobile boyfriend. I'm shocked that there wasn't a #concierge hashtag just to rub our noses in it.

Yeah, who doesn't want to be those two.

I saw them a few months back in the lobby of the Grand Californian doing a meet and greet for one of their tours. Had the misfortune of riding down in the same elevator as John. He was dressed in a black t-shirt and black shorts and socks, and looked like he hadn't shaved in 4 or 5 days. He had what appeared to be beignet sugar or crumbs (maybe dandruff?) on his shirt, and he looked like he had been wearing the same clothes for 2 days. Just a sickly, disheveled mess. I'm sure the tour group they were leading loved it though.

Kevin just looks like he smells of urine and halitosis, covered up by too much LV cologne.

ABD should put together another "DIS exclusive special itinerary," featuring excursions to the welcome center, Pete's manicurist, Mary at Publix, and culminating in the trial and a final dinner with a performance by special guests Jeff and Val kissing John and Kevin's asses.

Free gift bag containing a carton of Marlboros and a Magic Candle.

Does anyone think Pete watches the weekly show and revels in the fact that it’s a cluster since he left? His ego has to take pride knowing they couldn’t do better without him. Maybe it’s a good thing if he still has financial stake in the company though.

Only if they have free WiFi at the Seminole Casino...

There was no message stating that we support all our agents and staff members, committing to a full and transparent investigation. We sincerely thank you for standing with us during these challenging times. Your trust, engagement, and support mean everything to us.

Let's move forward with respect and integrity, not just sweeping things under the rug. How can anyone overlook that? How can anyone continue to support them after they've tried to bury this issue?

You mean they should have done the thing that a good small business owner would do to try to protect their company by distancing themselves from Predator Pete? Instead of lying about the reason for the new studio and trying to silence anyone who asked about the allegations? I can't remember who said it here, but that reeks of someone who is more than just terrible at running their business; it sounds like someone who has something to hide and is afraid to speak up for fear that Pete would retaliate by exposing the skeletons in their closets.

Very happy for him and I also hope Ryno finds something else soon too that will make him happy.

And then I hope that channel never puts out content again.

 

[imjenilynn]

@The Mando has done a great job pulling back the curtain on a lot of things but someone still on the "inside" of the Dis needs to get over here on Tattle or Reddit or create a blog and explain the inner workings of WDWInfo, DUT, DisUnlimited etc....
Does Ryno still have a job because they pity him, does he have dirt on someone or is it just plain apathy/incompetence on Corey's part?

John and Kevin like him. That’s the answer.

One cannot obtain disability benefits based on obesity alone — even morbid obesity. The Social Security Administration views it as, “a risk factor that increases an individual’s chances of developing impairments in most body systems.” So fatty-fatty two-by-four probably has some other disability due to being a disgusting butter golem.

But yes, I would love nothing more if Disney found a way to stop this constant pandering to the chonkie constituents of the park. Nothing ruins the experience more than walking down Mainstreet USA only to see some family go 4 wide with their scooters. You know what was great about Tokyo Disney? No strollers, no scooters, no fat people.

Yea yea, body shaming. All these people should be proud. They all look like Lizzo out there! Amazing! Courageous and Brave

whoa, jeez man!! Did a fat person sit on your pet or something?

 

[Thunderbirdtoo]

In a shocking twist that will surprise absolutely no one, least of all @The Mando

 

[The Mando]

I’m not sure who made the wiki but not giving me my fat photo was a big missed opportunity.

Whew. I've been off tattle for a couple of months and have been on a cruise this past week. It was fun catching up reading the posts. Thanks everyone for the entertainment! And no thanks to the Dis UnLimITeD for any fun entertainment. I've looked at the channel every now and then to see what they're pushing out (). I still like the universal show (whenever it randomly comes out), but everything else is so lackluster and void of all creativity. Very depressing. And you have to know that they themselves know it is crap. But you know what, they probably figure that they'll be collecting a paycheck no matter what, so why put any effort into it?! More time for them watching Netflix!
Also, for the whole John and Kevin not being on the show, obviously they don't want or care to be on the show. But I also think they don't want to spend their time with Craig and Ryno. I don't think J and K care for them, as they are beneath them. I would just love for Craig to one day admit the lie that the reason they were switching studios was to accommodate Kevin's mobility issues.

 

[MichaelsAchilles]

Over / under on how long this post from disboards lasts before Corey deletes it? I give it until around 11 AM EST.

Yes, thats exactly what is being suggested. You can see it and hear it in every studio show, dining review, etc. Pete was the glue of the show and him being gone has exposed the flaws of the others. Add to that nobody wants to rock the boat with John Magi and lose a paycheck. Never mind that John would sell each and every one of them out to rid himself of the boat anchor that DUT has become for him due to all of them ignoring Pete’s behavior for years.

Just put the show down now peacefully and save John a few more dollars so Kevin can have a new purse for their next Adventures by Disney trip and let everyone move on with their life. Maybe Ryno will finally have time to write his essay then.

I wouldn’t give a dime to their two pretentious fat asses

I thought I'd watch Ryno's Live from January 29th and he seems to be going through a really tough time and I do feel sorry for him. It appears he has some serious mental health issues & maybe deserves some slack.

Here are a few quotes from the first 17 minutes of his one hour fifteen minute chat to camera. It was a gabbling stream of consciousness, I’ve removed a lot of the gabbling but you get the gist. I didn't watch the rest.

“I am never going to find peace…some days I feel like I am drowning.”

“I am very bad about finding worth in myself.”

“I don’t know what to do & I don’t want to talk bluntly and blatantly about it but I’m having a really tough time right now, I am going to make some changes in my life that are going to be some of the most difficult I have ever made and one I’m going to be seeking therapy, I feel like I’m at an age where like if you say something it should be ‘do as I say and as I do’ not ‘do as I say not as I do’, that BS is out the window that is parent maybe talking to a child or something like that but I am done with that man, I’m done with it, I’m done with carrying other people’s baggage, I am so exhausted by it, I don’t want to be a part of that I don’t.. I’m better than that I DESERVE to be loved for the person that I AM (slams fist on table).

I feel like I have rage boiling inside of me some days and I am just so exhausted by people gaslighting me and thinking there’s something wrong with me.. I am so tired, I think I’m just having this realization right now about how I’ve been gaslit for so long..”

“…I just…man I’ve hyper-focused on like these things where I thought it’s me and I’m like it’s not me.. it’s the same thing that happened with work, it’s not like this anymore so this is me speaking about before but it was just like I feel like you if you just give, if you open yourself up to give to people that are only takers they will take every piece of you so I shouldn’t say that’s related to work but I felt like that with a prior boss I’ve had and I’ve felt like that in relationships that I’ve had and I’m examining both relationships both in love and platonic…

I’m not doing well. I should be happy and grateful but I hate this place so much where I live and there’s no solution and this is the hardest part.. therapy can’t solve me not making enough money. I am just so overwhelmed. I am on a precipice of feeling like I am about ready to finally start asking for what I feel like I deserve or what I want and that’s on me for not being vocal. Work isn’t easy, work is difficult and this is part of it, nothing is sadder in life than when you put your faith into something and that rug is yanked out from under you..”

I think he needs to resign and move across the country. A complete change.
