As much as I like Craig, a natural host he's not. He's best when he's hanging out in the parks with Ryno, off the cuff. Sit him down at a table as host and I want to throw myself into the sea

An old friend from a previous life reached out and shared the below link with me. I don't know if it's been shared here before, but given that they're hitting the delete button faster than Pete hits the spin button on a Bahamian slot machine, here's something they attempted to delete, but unfortunately (for them), someone had already transcribed:
In case anyone was still holding out any hope that current management is any better than Pete.
Well, time to start typing. That is worse than One Chainz and his gay contagious wife

Agreed. That transcript is so fucked. I don't care that it's from 15 years ago, that tit is so vile. Julie too of all people with the R word...

I watched the show in full. The "tease" of the podcase cruise didn't get a very big response. The audience was probably stunned. I thought it a bit odd that Corey wasn't on camera. He was in the room and I'm guessing he was running the camera logistics, but it was weird that the new President of the DIS wouldn't be on. One comment did stand out to me. Ryno mentions he has the top tier DL pass so it would be cheaper for the company to send him to cover future DL events. John says, "did I reimburse you for that?" Ryno bought it on his own, but the point is that John has always been DIS management and their boss and is inadvertently acknowledging it himself.

Sean mentioned about guys that pay others to cruise with them for the sole reason of having a higher per-diem limit at the casino... Maybe this was the hint he dropped.

Since you you can charge your gambling losses to your room (which is then charged directly to your credit card), a huge losing streak could add up quickly on an Amex bill in addtion to the 30k+ you are paying on the cruise. Add in a shopping addiction and that maybe that is the picture that is being painted here over a period of 60-90 days.

He told a story about Pete getting locked into a slot machine and missing dinner. Maybe this isn't a "I loss a few thousand at the casinos", but is a "I lost everything addiction".

Pure speculation on my part, but I could see the pieces falling into place.
This was my thought as well. The gambling and the jewelry purchased on cruises. He has multiple matching sets with large stones, and that kind of stuff is pretty over-priced on cruises.

Oh god. That is disgusting. And to think some of these dick heads are still associated with the DIS today. This is what company is all about. Racist bigots hiding behind the Disney name. I just can't with them anymore. Seen and heard enough. I hope they get banned. I really do. Why anyone would want to support them is beyond me.

This was the first time I ever heard Julie say something and NOT follow it up with her stupid laughter. This time however, she follows it up with crying. What a range of emotions ! She's the next Meryl Streep.

Doesn’t one of her children have Down’s syndrome?
This was before he was born. I grew up during a time that that word was commonly used in a joking way, so she gets a pass. However, my first son was born in 2002, and I distinctly remember having to teach him that "people are born that way", "people with DS are amazing, and don't deserve that word being thrown around", "you're smart enough to get your point across without putting down other people"... so, Julie should have known better by 2008, but she does come across as a little immature.

Unfortunately I have a hard time believing things will change over there permanently. It is not hard to go back and find instances of members being banned as far back as 20 years ago. Here are two instances from 2004 and 2006.

It's really awful isn't it. This company needs to stop. Dismantle the whole lot. Report them to Disney. It proves what they are and things won't change whether pervy pete is around or not. The company values are rotten.

I'm sorry that you had to read it. Unfortunately jokes like that aren't uncommon among white men even now. I noticed that Julie kept quiet in that transcript. They have no idea the work that goes into being naturalized, and that a lot of those people very well could have been doctors. But, than to say that they're only good for a blue collar job is just stupid considering what those guys were doing with their own lives. We know that Pete has always been scum of the earth, so he has some nerve making fun of anyone doing any sort of honest living. They're disgusting
I hope that both lawyers, and judge, in his case are one of those citizens

And at the same time want to promote ABD for huge profit traveling to countries where those “only good for servitude” people are from. They are awful people.

Didn't watch, won't watch the CA live show, but thank you for your service to those who did. WTF were they thinking announcing a new podcast show host THREE DAYS after the announcement about Pete's departure? Was there really a joke about "be careful who you accept a drink from," implying it might be drugged? Someone on the other board mentioned that. Jokes about reimbursements for company expenses? They are truly putting zero thought behind rehabbing their brand. I'll say again, I get having to do the show. It's what was promised as part of the package people paid a lot of money for, long before everything became public. But they didn't need to air it; especially after the backlash they received for not addressing the Pete mess.

As to the transcript of the previous show? Julie's use of the R word is the most forgivable thing, IMO. She would have been in her mid-twenties when that was recorded. "When you know better, do better," and she certainly seems to have grown up; on this one issue, at least.

Kevin, however, was almost 50. John and Pete in were in their mid-forties. As members themselves of a marginalized group, it was disgusting to see them gleefully denigrate others. And to have not only aired it in the first place, but replayed it MULTIPLE times over the years?!? That tells you everything you need to know about their character and judgment.

That was before her son was born. This clip of her using that word comes up every once in a while. I think she may have even addressed it at one point and regrets it. The word was starting to be "phased out" but in 2008 it was nowhere near as taboo as it is today.

Plus I think they have done some good charitable works and fundraising for Down Syndrome. I'd rather encourage and praise people for changing and growing then try to beat them down for a mistake 15 years ago (I am speaking about Julie in the clip, not the rest of it)

Agree. I at least get the sense that those two have learned that the world is bigger than they are, and that those stupid "white person" points of view is a real problem in our society. Of course, as public figures, they could be keeping it to themselves, but even then they've learned something.

I think that Ryno's joke about the drinks was more about drinks being spiked in bars. But, I could be wrong

Truly reprehensible - even in 2008. I had the pleasure of chatting with a member of the custodial staff at Hollywood Studios a few weeks ago. He left his country to come to Florida. He was an engineer there. But he said he was so grateful to be able to come here and find a job that allowed him to support his family. He was delightful and it was truly a humbling experience for me. Honestly it was one of the highlights of my trip (and I did submit a cast compliment).

My views of the world have changed a lot since my early 20s. I would rather judge someone by their recent actions then from what they did 15 years ago. Julie definitely gets a pass from me.

However, using that same logic, John, Kevin and Pete are still scum.
