WEBVTT - Buzzy Undressed: Theft from Behind the Scenes at Disney 0:00:00.520 --> 0:00:04.040 Ridiculous Crime is a production of I Heart Radio. Hey Zarin, 0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:07.520 you know it's ridiculous, Yes, I do, Elizabeth Dutton. The 0:00:07.560 --> 0:00:11.120 fact that cotton candy and the electric chair we're both 0:00:11.119 --> 0:00:15.760 invented by dentists, so like one is to like lure 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:18.880 you in, and then the other one is just why 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:23.000 did a dentist invent the electric chair? Pain? Yeah, they're 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:26.920 hardcore painting cotton candy profit God, you got it, you 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:30.720 got you got it all sussed down. Those are that 0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:35.920 is ridiculous. Um. Something else that's ridiculous is denuding a 0:00:36.040 --> 0:00:40.400 defunct Disney animatronic display and selling the clothes to an 0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:44.839 NBA star. I'm sorry, did you say denuding? Denuding a 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:49.840 Disney animatronic? You got it? Is it, Abraham Lincoln? We're 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.400 you're going to find out. But whatever it is, this is, 0:00:52.440 --> 0:01:15.280 this is ridiculous. This is a ridiculous crime. A podcast 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:20.240 about absurd and outrageous capers, heists and cons. It's always 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:28.959 murder free and ridiculous. So Disney Animatronic, you know, there 0:01:29.000 --> 0:01:34.280 are Disney people, and there are like Disney apathetic people, 0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.479 I suppose, but they're there are Disney people in non 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:43.120 Disney I'm not really a Disney person. Does that surprise you, No, 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:47.160 not at all. Like I have family members, my uncle 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:52.120 and his family, they love Disney. They go on Disney cruises. Yeah, 0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.000 they're all about it because it's like they can just 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:59.200 unplug and everything is always kind of the same. You 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:01.880 ever ask him about these Disney cruises, Like, are there 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:04.200 I don't know, a giant Mickey and Minnie walking around 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.040 on top of the deck. I'm gonna be honest with you, 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:07.960 the less I know the better, And I think they 0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.800 probably the best bet so. But like I have friend. 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:15.000 I have a friend from high school who's really hardcore 0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:17.880 into Disney, and she and her husband, I think they 0:02:17.880 --> 0:02:20.840 got married at Disneyland. They go on like they they're 0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.120 like five K and ten K runs that they do 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:27.120 getting married at Disneyland. That's like a double commitment. Yeah, yeah, 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:30.440 that's like do you have to dress up like a princess? 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.040 Can get dissed up like Goofy if you want at 0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:38.800 your wedding? True? True? Um, so they're like Disney super fans, 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.080 people who dress up as Goofy And I don't know 0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:48.200 Baba Fette for there is that a Disney things yet? Um? 0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.240 I got my finger on the pulse. Um. So there 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.520 are people who will go to totally too great lengths 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:57.600 to have a part of the happiest place on earth, 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.720 you know, in their life. Are you a Disney person, 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.799 You're like Disney adjacent. I'm Disney. Yeah, that's the best 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:08.280 way to put at. Disney and I have our own 0:03:08.280 --> 0:03:11.840 weird personal history. That's a whole other issue. But my family, 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.040 they love Disney. So my sister used always want to 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.280 go there for birthdays and stuff. Now her children like 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:18.000 to go there. I just took my niece down to 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:21.200 Disneyland for two days. Let me tell you that was 0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:26.640 two days too many. So but you like you like 0:03:26.720 --> 0:03:29.120 all the Disney stuff. I like it through her eyes. 0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:30.919 To me, through the kids. It's it's fun through a 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.080 kid's eyes. Yeah, okay, So, but we both have like 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.440 a passing understanding of Disney stuff. We've both been to Disneyland. 0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:40.760 Have ever been to Disney World? Yeah? I've been to both. Okay, 0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:42.360 I've not I've never been to any of the Disney 0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.480 Lands outside of America, but I've been to both the 0:03:44.600 --> 0:03:48.320 World in Land. I've never been to Florida full stop. Wow, 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.560 you're lucky. Lucky person. I know my family live there. 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.280 I'm not going to give Florida hard time, just a medium. 0:03:54.640 --> 0:03:56.920 But so let's this is about Disney World today, not 0:03:57.000 --> 0:04:03.520 about Disneylands. Okay. So I want you to transport yourself 0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:08.600 using the power of your imagination, much as Walt himself 0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:15.280 would want you to do the imagineering. It's summer in Orlando. 0:04:16.440 --> 0:04:19.640 I can almost feel the bugs right Orlando nights to 0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:23.919 two thousand eighteen nighttime, you can. You can hear the 0:04:24.000 --> 0:04:30.000 evening song crickets, the various swamp creatures that are lurking 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:35.800 in the dark Florida exactly. Um, and so do you 0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:38.320 have this going on? You're in Orlando, you're at like 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:42.839 around the outside the perimeter of Disney World. And these 0:04:42.920 --> 0:04:47.960 two baby faced yet bearded cousins in their early twenties. 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:51.960 And I am completely serious when I say that they 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:58.520 look like the human sons of some of the Seven Dwarves. Like, no, 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:01.960 no jump where they a little bit height deficient? No, 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:04.920 I mean they looked like maybe like average height, a 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.400 little bit on the shorter side. But their faces, these guys, 0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:12.680 their faces are like half biker, half Disney. They're like 0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:15.839 baby biker. Yeah, like Disney towards kind of like baby 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.520 bikers right now that you mentioned it. Yeah, so that's 0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:20.240 what these dudes look like. They've kind of got like 0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:25.479 rounded nose and apple cheeks. Um. They're creeping along. They're 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:29.800 sneaking into the Wonders of Life pavilion at Disney's Epcot 0:05:29.839 --> 0:05:35.599 theme park, and their tiptoeing towards a vacant attraction. It 0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:43.960 is the defunct Cranium Command attraction. Okay, so Cranium Command something. 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:48.040 They opened it in nine, It had a great eighteen 0:05:48.120 --> 0:05:50.400 year run, and then they closed it up for good 0:05:50.600 --> 0:05:52.440 in New Year's Day on New Year's Day in two 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.359 thousand and seven. Okay, wait, what the heck is a 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:58.800 Cranium Command. I mean that sounds like like a head thing, right. Yeah, 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:02.400 it's it's like a really silly attraction where people are 0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:06.160 piled into this really narrow room that had carpeted walls 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.440 always a good look, which is like a little terrifying. 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:11.560 You go to a theme park and you want it 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:13.920 to be sort of like slick and modern, and instead 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:18.480 they're just like, come into our panic room. Vacuum these walls, 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.479 you hope. Um. And so they watched this movie called 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:27.960 Cranium Command, and Cranium Command is this like oddly militaristic 0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:35.960 agency that's responsible for operating human brains. It's not a documentary, 0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.480 it's animated, and the movie is just playing in this 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.719 defunction like they will. They put you into this room 0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:46.000 and the screen is there and they show this film 0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:49.160 and it's animated. Um. There are a lot of like 0:06:49.520 --> 0:06:52.920 it's a dazzling array of celebrities who participated in this, 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:57.880 like their brains, their voices, which also then means their brains. 0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:03.560 So m Charles Grown played the part of left brain, okay, 0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:09.880 and John John John Lovett's John Lavitts was right brain. Okay, 0:07:10.000 --> 0:07:12.400 I'm glad he's getting that's a great little gruesome tuos 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:19.280 in there. George went he was the stomach. Yeah, of course. 0:07:20.200 --> 0:07:24.640 Who do you think was the adrenal gland? Kathy Griffin close, 0:07:24.800 --> 0:07:30.760 bobcat Goldwabe, that is close. And then to keep it 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:36.040 like super timely, um, Dana Carvey and Kevin Nelon reprised 0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.560 their roles as Hans and Franz to play the right 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:45.280 and left ventricles. Was this like written well open in 0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:50.400 eighty nine, but this is like like a C list 0:07:50.560 --> 0:07:53.640 fever dream. Oh yeah, that like is an SNL like 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.920 where are they now now? And oh no, that's where 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:02.600 they they went. They went to Cranium Command. Um. So, 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.840 but they have the screen showing this film and then 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:12.760 in the corner of the room is this character named Buzzy, 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:16.840 and Buzzy Um is a really large, kind of Chuck 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:22.080 E Cheese looking animatronic boy. I would say, right, so 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.080 he looks like the Chuck e Cheese, like that band, 0:08:24.280 --> 0:08:28.160 that that kind of school of animatronics where it's like 0:08:28.520 --> 0:08:33.320 awkward um back and forth. Yeah, and like the weird 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:36.200 there's like a weird look to the fit to the like. 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:39.360 I think the word you're looking for is haunted, Thank 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:43.040 you so much. That's exactly. There's a haunted quality to 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:47.920 Fuzzy Um. And so he's like this animatronic boy dressed 0:08:47.920 --> 0:08:50.760 like Steven Spielberg, wearing a ball cap and a leather 0:08:50.880 --> 0:08:53.439 ball and a leather bomber jacket. I was just getting 0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:56.960 more haunted, right, it's going to haunt your dreams. Uh 0:08:57.080 --> 0:09:01.160 So Buzzy right, he's like one of the Cranium Command pilots. 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:07.160 And so the film takes you through Buzzy driving this 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:11.200 little boy's brain through his day. And I don't know 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.280 the little boy's name. I've blocked it out from my 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:17.480 own good so, but so like Buzzy is all chucky 0:09:17.559 --> 0:09:22.520 cheeseing it up in the corner and moving around. And then, um, 0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:24.600 you know, the people who are shoved into this room 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:27.760 together watched the film and they feel like they're watching 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.160 Buzzy have a kid go to class and walk down 0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.560 the street and play with his friends. Um, so that's 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.880 what cranium command is. Okay, So Buzzy's a pilot and 0:09:38.240 --> 0:09:42.240 a Buzzy's piloting us through this boy. Yeah, Buzzy drives 0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.520 this kid's brain, drives the kid's brain. And so then 0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.560 Buzzy has Charles Groden and John Lovett kind of like 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.040 over his shoulder. Oh yeah yeah, They're like, you know, 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:53.880 no go that way, and I'm creative, No, I'm watching. 0:09:53.960 --> 0:09:56.760 And then like Hans and friends are like, I'm having 0:09:56.760 --> 0:10:01.480 a cardiac event, like Buddy, he is only eight, you know, 0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:05.960 like there's just an audience is just it just turns 0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.840 dark so quickly. That's why it closed. Okay, I can 0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:12.640 see that now, right, So they close and then now 0:10:12.760 --> 0:10:16.680 in where we are in our imaginations creeping around late 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.000 night Orlando. So these d dudes they break into disney 0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:22.600 World and Epcot Center in the middle of the night, 0:10:23.160 --> 0:10:28.240 Orlando nights, sultry night, so sultry. One of the guys, 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:31.079 his name is Patrick Spikes. He works at disney World, 0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.760 and uh so he's got he's got access, right, he's 0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:37.959 got the key card. He slides it through. Yeah, he's 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:39.280 got the map of the place in his head. He 0:10:39.320 --> 0:10:43.800 knows what security is, sure because in my mind, at 0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.560 night they close the gates. They just have one giant 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.160 set of gates and that's the only way in or 0:10:48.200 --> 0:10:53.240 out of Epcot and they wrap like heavy naval chain around. 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:57.040 It takes like, you know, seven eight guys do you imagine, 0:10:57.080 --> 0:10:59.360 like in a comically large lock and like Mickey has 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.400 to actually come out and use his own key. Yeah, 0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:04.240 like the key to the city. And it's like and 0:11:04.320 --> 0:11:07.000 it gleams, it's golden. And they had but they didn't 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.240 have to cut through that. Pat Pat Spikes had the 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:13.920 old key card swipe away. The other guy has the 0:11:14.080 --> 0:11:26.480 worst name, And I'm so sorry for this man. Um Blaton, Taunton, Blayton, Taunton, Blaton, Taunton. Yeah, sorry, 0:11:27.360 --> 0:11:30.840 my mind goes right there. The name. He's part of 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:33.400 the canon. He's part of the Star Wars universe. It 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:36.000 just sounds like a fake name. It totally sounds like 0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.640 a fake name. But he wanted a fake name. This 0:11:38.679 --> 0:11:42.680 man doesn't work at the park, all right, right, cousin 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:46.160 doesn't work at the park. Uh Patrick, Patrick works at 0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:50.679 the park. He gets his cousin Blayton Taunton m a 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.120 fake I D. And he uses a name like a 0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:57.040 Disney idea. Yeah, like an employee I D. He uses 0:11:57.080 --> 0:11:59.360 a fake name for that. He uses the name Jack 0:11:59.520 --> 0:12:04.760 d Morrow, Jack Demorrow. It's like Jack Sparrow, but not 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.920 Jack Sparrow mashed up with the world of Tomorrow Tomorrow 0:12:09.080 --> 0:12:14.079 or like demoralizing. So they've they've both got these I 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.160 das and they're rocking through they get in there. What 0:12:17.200 --> 0:12:20.000 do you think they do, these two, these two little sprites, 0:12:20.040 --> 0:12:22.360 when they get in there, finger pant the walls. Yeah, 0:12:22.400 --> 0:12:25.800 they just do they go nuts. Like in my I'm wondering, 0:12:26.080 --> 0:12:29.600 did they dance? Did they did they skip around? Did 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:32.880 like a music montage start of them just enjoying their 0:12:32.880 --> 0:12:36.079 times and like punching their fists in the air and excitement. 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.120 Did they just snap some cool picks? Did they do 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:42.720 it for the Graham? Who knows? I think they did. 0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.840 But they actually did some illegal stuff too, Yes, and 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:50.719 that's why this is a ridiculous crime. So let's take 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:53.520 a break. I'm gonna come back and I'm going to 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.160 tell you all about the ridiculousness of this crime. Cool 0:12:56.280 --> 0:13:22.840 back in a flash, alright. So Patrick and Blatant they 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:25.480 creep around and they make their way to the Cranium 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:30.760 Command exhibit. They're on tiptoe the entire time. They get 0:13:30.800 --> 0:13:33.960 to the three pound Buzzy installations. So I told you 0:13:34.040 --> 0:13:38.000 it's like a boy pilot, but it's huge. That'd board 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:42.200 pilot wearing a giant Steven Spielberg leather bomber jacket and 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:46.120 a giant baseball cap, hanging out with John Lovett's totally 0:13:46.679 --> 0:13:51.880 get to Buzzy and they very gently remove his headphones 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:57.320 and remove his hat in the seductive manner. I guess 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.480 I don't know. I wasn't there. I just so they're 0:13:59.480 --> 0:14:03.760 not attack like it's legitimately like they must. They have 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:10.679 like a skeleton of this animatronic Buzzy and then they 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:15.520 put the flesh on it. The rubber flesh smash my boy, 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:19.120 because at one point someone stole Buzzies hands and they 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:25.120 were just like metal, you know, the under pinnings. Who knows, 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:28.160 they never recovered Buzzies hands. But anyway, so they have 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:32.640 like a rubber flesh suit for Buzzy. Then then they 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:37.640 dress him much like an undertaker would dress a corpse. 0:14:38.320 --> 0:14:41.280 Someone at Disney had to dress Buzzy to begin with. 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:45.840 And then these two clowns come in and undressed Buzzy, 0:14:45.960 --> 0:14:49.000 I know. So they take off his headphones, they take 0:14:49.040 --> 0:14:52.000 off his hat, and they strip him of his bomber jacket. 0:14:52.640 --> 0:14:56.200 That stuff alone is worth seven thousand dollars. Get out well, 0:14:56.240 --> 0:15:00.400 I mean like a custom made giganto. It's huge shuite. 0:15:00.920 --> 0:15:04.480 And then they steal away into the night. Now, before 0:15:04.520 --> 0:15:08.160 they had done all these other things with cranium command, 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:11.920 they didn't just steal Buzzies clothes. They went into the 0:15:12.000 --> 0:15:17.040 Haunted House attraction and they took some wigs and some costumes. 0:15:17.800 --> 0:15:19.560 I didn't know all this stuff can be removed. I 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.080 always just assumed it was like somehow a fixed did 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:24.640 these characters like figure it right, Like you're in the 0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:27.880 Haunted House attraction and like someone just like loses it. 0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:32.400 They're terrified, and they just project how vomit onto one 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:36.000 of the Victorian ladies. And then they're like, okay, well, 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.840 let's they didn't really hit the dress, but man, this 0:15:39.000 --> 0:15:42.640 wig and so they're like they closed the attraction. They 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:45.640 take the wig off and they clean it tenderly, gingerly. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.680 I just have I have a problem where I like 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:55.600 to imagine horrific scenarios and I let them run in 0:15:55.640 --> 0:16:01.280 my head in vivid detail with logistics. It's what it's 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:07.200 what the docks call spiraling thoughts. So I'm just thinking of, like, 0:16:07.240 --> 0:16:09.520 what what is the terrible way that you would have 0:16:09.560 --> 0:16:12.440 to do? You know, like I could go, I could 0:16:12.480 --> 0:16:15.040 go so much worse than that. But anyway, so they 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.600 do they have to like maybe one component gets dirty 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:21.200 and has to be replaced, or like you know, little 0:16:21.200 --> 0:16:23.160 creatures start to live in the wig and then they 0:16:23.200 --> 0:16:25.440 got to swap it out. I don't know, I don't know. Man. 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.760 They're very particular. I mean they want everything to they 0:16:27.760 --> 0:16:30.480 want everyone to have this really wonderful experience. Oh yeah, 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.240 and they're like fascistic about cleanliness. So like Jney mind, 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:35.280 you can't find trash if they can help it, right, 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:39.120 So they don't want raggedy wigs in the Haunted mount 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:41.320 although would kind of make sense if everyone's wig was 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:43.560 raggedy if it was haunted. But you know, I'm just 0:16:43.560 --> 0:16:46.560 saying we have to keep the shine on it. So 0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.480 that's a classic attraction, the Haunted House, right. But what's 0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:52.800 the story with Patrick Spikes. Yeah, let's get back to Patty. 0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:57.200 He ran a Twitter account that posted behind the scenes 0:16:57.280 --> 0:17:01.040 photos of the park, and the Twitter at count have 0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:05.919 the handle of backdoor Disney. I think I saw that 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:13.760 porno back it's like all sorts of copyright. It's featuring 0:17:13.840 --> 0:17:17.919 Nicky Rat Yeah, back door Disney. So it was this 0:17:18.000 --> 0:17:21.760 really popular Twitter account and that is a great name, 0:17:22.000 --> 0:17:26.080 back door Disney. Yeah, because this is so naughty. Um, 0:17:26.160 --> 0:17:30.720 he would take pictures back behind the scenes, and um, 0:17:30.760 --> 0:17:32.440 you can still see it because you know, the Twitter 0:17:32.440 --> 0:17:35.520 accounts still exists, and they just say someone else is 0:17:35.520 --> 0:17:39.000 apparently running it, but that's you know, to be determined. 0:17:39.640 --> 0:17:41.600 I think I think it's true. I think from what 0:17:41.640 --> 0:17:45.119 I understand, Patrick has nothing to do with this anymore. Um, 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:47.200 but yeah, it has like really cool pictures of what 0:17:47.240 --> 0:17:49.680 it looks like when you're inside a ride looking out 0:17:49.720 --> 0:17:53.119 at at people going by, or inside of attractions, like 0:17:53.320 --> 0:17:57.280 behind the sets of things, and so particularly for those 0:17:57.280 --> 0:18:01.040 who just absolutely love Disney to get a glimpse of 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:04.760 something like how how this is made? So but you 0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:06.679 can still look at it. If you go to Twitter today, 0:18:06.800 --> 0:18:09.320 you can pull up backdoor to oh, I'm going there 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:10.800 as soon as we're done, and then you're gonna wind 0:18:10.880 --> 0:18:13.800 up on a watch list, like I'm not already on 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:15.600 a watch list. That's so true, but it'll be a 0:18:15.640 --> 0:18:19.280 whole new one. Uh, inside of rides, backstage areas. It 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:23.040 also would have the abandoned features because people who work 0:18:23.080 --> 0:18:26.240 in the park they can still get into these empty 0:18:26.280 --> 0:18:30.200 spaces just for maintenance purposes. And also as they retire 0:18:30.359 --> 0:18:32.840 an attraction a lot of times they'll prep them for 0:18:32.920 --> 0:18:36.439 new temporary ones or whatever. So people have access, they 0:18:36.480 --> 0:18:38.960 can take cool pictures of stuff. And this is a 0:18:38.960 --> 0:18:42.199 big thing poking around behind the scenes at theme parks, 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.840 especially in abandoned areas. So you said, like you've gone 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:49.320 through like basements or something, or people's homes. So there's 0:18:49.359 --> 0:18:52.920 like tunnel tunnels under l a that have been through. 0:18:53.119 --> 0:18:56.400 There's all sorts of like basements like, um, you went 0:18:56.440 --> 0:18:58.159 to U c D. Underneath U C D either are 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:00.240 a bunch of connecting basements, So we used to run 0:19:00.240 --> 0:19:03.680 through those and like people's homes when they haven't been there. 0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:05.600 I've done some of that as well, although I think 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:09.120 they don't call that urban exploring, right. I went once, 0:19:09.320 --> 0:19:13.240 um in the like really rural south to an old 0:19:13.280 --> 0:19:17.160 courthouse that was like, yeah, it was like the original 0:19:17.200 --> 0:19:21.399 courthouse in that county, and but it I guess the 0:19:21.400 --> 0:19:24.480 the original original one got burned down when Sherman came 0:19:24.520 --> 0:19:26.600 through and so this was like the replacement. But then 0:19:26.600 --> 0:19:30.560 there was a modern eighties block building down the road. 0:19:30.600 --> 0:19:34.840 But I went into the old one and uh, someone said, 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:36.600 you want to check out the basement? Like no one, 0:19:36.680 --> 0:19:39.480 no one goes in the basement. I'm thinking, like, sure not, 0:19:40.080 --> 0:19:43.359 why does no one come? So I kind of go 0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:45.520 down there and they're like there's no lights, but you know, 0:19:45.600 --> 0:19:48.600 you can kind of peek around. It is like pitch black. 0:19:48.680 --> 0:19:51.680 I couldn't see anything, and we really weren't supposed to 0:19:51.720 --> 0:19:54.600 be in there, and I'm like thinking, there's so much 0:19:54.600 --> 0:19:56.520 that can go wrong at this point. But in my 0:19:56.560 --> 0:19:59.800 life I've also ignored that feeling. And just kept doing 0:19:59.800 --> 0:20:02.480 what us doing. So that's what I did. I go down, 0:20:02.560 --> 0:20:04.720 but luckily I didn't step all the way off there, 0:20:04.760 --> 0:20:08.400 like off the steps into the floor. I went down 0:20:08.440 --> 0:20:11.480 to like the last step, and it was so ink black, 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:13.879 I couldn't see anything. I get my phone out and 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.040 I take a bunch of pictures with the flash on, 0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:18.640 but like you know how like you go from that 0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:22.040 darkness to the flash, you can't really process it. Um. 0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:25.320 I go back upstairs and I look at them and 0:20:25.359 --> 0:20:29.000 there's like two inches of water on the floor and 0:20:29.000 --> 0:20:33.280 a bunch of snakes. Oh god, I knew that would 0:20:33.320 --> 0:20:36.480 do it for you. And then all this like equipment 0:20:36.520 --> 0:20:40.560 along the one wall that's like from an abandoned Optometris office, 0:20:40.920 --> 0:20:45.760 Like I'm measuring machines. You found I totally did. I 0:20:45.800 --> 0:20:49.399 totally didn't. I'm gonna start charging admission. Yeah. So that 0:20:49.480 --> 0:20:51.800 was my That's my urban if you want to call 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:55.400 it exploring experience. But so a lot of people do that, right, 0:20:55.640 --> 0:20:58.280 So we have all these urban explorers and they go 0:20:58.359 --> 0:21:01.920 into these abandoned areas, like these guys do photos. They 0:21:01.920 --> 0:21:05.719 take photos, they post them on Twitter on backdoor accounts, 0:21:06.320 --> 0:21:08.680 um and then some of them. They take trophies with them, 0:21:08.760 --> 0:21:13.480 much like a serial killer. And in the case of 0:21:13.520 --> 0:21:19.280 Patrick Spikes, he turned those trophies into profit. Oh so 0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:24.160 Spikes he trafficked and stolen Disney goods on eBay. How 0:21:24.200 --> 0:21:25.840 the hell do you pull that off? I mean, I 0:21:25.840 --> 0:21:31.040 figured Disney on it and we know about all right, So, 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:34.000 like he wasn't just stealing. He was a fence for 0:21:34.040 --> 0:21:40.720 the Disney dark market man, right, Patty Blatant or whatever 0:21:40.760 --> 0:21:45.280 your name is. Um, So he's stealing all this stuff 0:21:45.320 --> 0:21:48.800 and he's flipping it on eBay. You know a good 0:21:48.840 --> 0:21:52.400 customer of his, You know who that was. Um, I'm 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:57.400 gonna guess Sebastian Gorka, Sebastian Bach from skid Row. Oh, 0:21:57.440 --> 0:22:03.440 of course, no NBA player, Robin Lopez, big Disney head, 0:22:04.400 --> 0:22:09.679 total hardcore Disney freak. So he's buying black market Disney 0:22:09.680 --> 0:22:14.719 goods off of eBay. He bought Buzzies outfit, and I'm wondering, 0:22:14.840 --> 0:22:16.560 is it because that's how he could get a bomber 0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:21.360 jacket that would fit he by he pays eight grand 0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:25.720 for Buzzies outfit, the headphones, the hat, what are you 0:22:25.720 --> 0:22:27.520 going to put it on? And pretty much like what 0:22:27.560 --> 0:22:29.360 do you have this big enough? That's what I want 0:22:29.359 --> 0:22:32.520 to Does he does he like frame it in a 0:22:32.640 --> 0:22:35.840 shadow box or something? Is it hanging? Does he wear 0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:40.359 it for special does he sleep in it? We you know, 0:22:40.480 --> 0:22:43.520 I don't know. That was never revealed. He also he 0:22:43.520 --> 0:22:45.880 didn't just buy Buzzies outfit like he was a good 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:48.760 customer on eBay. He bought a couple of signs from 0:22:48.760 --> 0:22:51.760 the park. And then what I really like is that 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:57.680 he bought a Disney employee uniform from Patti Spikes. Okay, 0:22:57.760 --> 0:23:01.160 so wait, NBA player who I am a suming is tall? Yeah, 0:23:01.600 --> 0:23:06.760 bought Disney uniform ployee uniform. He makes good money. Why 0:23:06.760 --> 0:23:09.240 couldn't he just have one made? He wanted the offense, 0:23:09.359 --> 0:23:15.359 he wanted the sweat, he wanted the Disney particulate matter, 0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:19.480 like he wanted the real deal. I mean it's like, yeah, like, okay, 0:23:19.640 --> 0:23:22.359 I could I could just go buy a baseball and 0:23:22.400 --> 0:23:27.520 say this was you know, hit by I don't Reggie 0:23:27.600 --> 0:23:30.080 Jackson and and look, I know I have it. Or 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:31.919 I could have Reggie Jackson signed a ball and be like, 0:23:31.960 --> 0:23:35.800 yeah he hit whatever. He wants a tentico. He wants 0:23:35.840 --> 0:23:39.960 the real deal. But this has me wondering what is 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:43.680 he doing with what's he doing with this? Is it 0:23:43.800 --> 0:23:46.840 something like how you know athletes like frame their jerseys 0:23:46.840 --> 0:23:50.760 and stuff like is it? Does he have it framed 0:23:50.800 --> 0:23:56.359 hanging in his his sparsely filled mansion and I don't know, 0:23:57.040 --> 0:23:59.879 I don't know. So anyway he buys, he buys the 0:24:00.200 --> 0:24:03.840 employee uniform. Maybe he puts it on in prances around 0:24:03.880 --> 0:24:07.320 the house and it's like short shorts because he's so 0:24:07.440 --> 0:24:10.960 long legged and it looks like, you know, big guy, 0:24:11.000 --> 0:24:13.000 a little dust or what Yeah, big guy, little pants 0:24:13.119 --> 0:24:16.480 on this case. Um. And then remember the wigs in 0:24:16.480 --> 0:24:20.520 the costumes from the Haunted House, right, Spikes sold those 0:24:20.560 --> 0:24:28.400 on eBay to an accountant in winter Park, Florida. Wars out, Yeah, 0:24:28.400 --> 0:24:30.720 almost nine thousand dollars. I'm in the wrong business. The 0:24:32.560 --> 0:24:37.480 dress alone was a thousand dollars. Now what's that guy? 0:24:37.560 --> 0:24:39.960 What's that accountant doing with that? Yeah? Well, you know, 0:24:40.000 --> 0:24:41.960 we got all sorts of questions about the Disney fans, 0:24:42.000 --> 0:24:44.359 but I mean, and no judgment, you know, but like 0:24:44.440 --> 0:24:49.600 maybe he meets up with Robin Lopez at like premier 0:24:49.760 --> 0:24:55.080 Disney insider events that they have at like palatial estates. Well, 0:24:55.160 --> 0:24:58.280 the passwords to get in. If there are Disney fences 0:24:58.320 --> 0:25:01.119 for stolen Disney goods, you have to assume they're also 0:25:01.200 --> 0:25:04.080 occasionally meet ups where people get to show off they're 0:25:04.119 --> 0:25:07.440 stolen Disney goods in places they can never else them off. 0:25:07.600 --> 0:25:09.200 They totally see that. So it seems like they would 0:25:09.280 --> 0:25:10.800 kind of have like a place where they're like I 0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:12.520 think the people who eat bush meat that you can't 0:25:12.560 --> 0:25:14.280 just go to a restaurant in order bush meat, right, 0:25:14.280 --> 0:25:16.240 you got to go to a special place, see bush meat. 0:25:16.280 --> 0:25:18.439
