Was that what 42 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 1: would be on the Disneyland premises quite a bit and 43 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 1: he it was kind of like a small little spot, 44 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: five square feet decorated. Yeah yeah, quite small, decorated in 45 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 1: the Victorian era, filled with you know, some fun stuff 46 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:24,359 Speaker 1: for Walton Lilan to pass the time. Mango paying attention. Sorry, yeah, yeah, 47 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 1: I heard. It was a small apartment. In this very 48 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: small apartment, there was a special thing that I think 49 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: you would like. Do you know what? It was? A 50 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 1: grilled cheesemaker. Yeah. Wow, pretty cool. Huh So one of 51 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 1: the cool facts about this apartment. I thought that was 52 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: your fact that there was a grilled cheesemaker. That's awesome though, No, 53 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 1: that wasn't my fact. There's a better one. So one 54 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: of the cool things, and I think you guys are 55 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: gonna like this kind of gives you the warm fuzzies. 56 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: It gives me the warm fuzzies was that Will always 57 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: had the light burning on his apartment, and when after 58 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: he passed in ninety six, Disneyland decided to keep that 59 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:00,600 Speaker 1: light burning on for him. So if you ever enter 60 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: the park and you go by the Main Street firehouse, 61 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: and you look up on the second floor, you'll see 62 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: the light burning. And so it's kind of reminder that 63 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: Walt Disney is still alive and all of us. Oh wow, 64 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:14,119 Speaker 1: so it stays. That's amazing. Yeah, I love that. That's 65 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: really awesome. Alright, good, good, first fact, Mango, what you got. 66 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: So this is one of the strangest things that's happened 67 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: at the happiest place on Earth, and it's at the 68 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 1: Beatles officially broke up there and so this is way 69 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,640 Speaker 1: back in December of nine, but that's when John Lennon 70 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: actually signed the papers that officially dissolved the band. And 71 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: there's a photo of him like signing the papers and 72 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 1: in the background you see the uh, the Polynesian Village hotel. 73 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: That is pretty crazy. I had no idea about that. 74 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 1: Is that where they fired Eddie Murphy when it was 75 00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: the Clarence Is before. I don't know if you remember that. 76 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: That's pretty interesting too. Alright, Well, I've got one. I'm 77 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: going to start. Um, let's see which one I want 78 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: to start with. Since you talked about them, you know, 79 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: officially breaking up are almost officially breaking up there. I 80 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 1: will start with a different kind of contract and that 81 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 1: was one that almost happened. That is, Disney almost opened 82 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: a park in St. Louis. So in the sixties, Walt 83 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,000 Speaker 1: himself was personally involved in coming up with the plans 84 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 1: for a Midwestern park. It was going to have a 85 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,320 Speaker 1: theme around Old St. Louis and rides around the Mississippi 86 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: River and the Old West animatronics of Thomas Jefferson and 87 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 1: Napoleon would have talked about the Louisiana purchase. So all 88 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,360 Speaker 1: these plans were in order. It looked like they were 89 00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,039 Speaker 1: going to move forward. And then Walt looked around and 90 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: realized that he could buy a ton of swampland in 91 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: Florida for a whole lot less money, and so they 92 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,200 Speaker 1: decided to go for that, and so in nineteen sixty 93 00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: five they announced that they were no longer going to 94 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 1: be moving forward with this, but we almost had a 95 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: park in the in St. Louis. That's pretty cool. Yeah, 96 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 1: all right, Allison, you're second fact. Okay, So when the 97 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,920 Speaker 1: lights go down and all the guests are clearing out 98 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,720 Speaker 1: of Disneyland, and there's a whole another sort of life 99 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: that comes on as night closes in, and so there's 100 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,160 Speaker 1: of course a hard working night crew that does things 101 00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 1: like repair and repaint and do all the things that 102 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: guests have weirdly done to in the day. But there's 103 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: also a whole lot of cats terrifying let's start prowling Disneyland. 104 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,800 Speaker 1: And the thing is is, um, the disney folks are 105 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 1: okay with us. Why are they okay with this? To 106 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: guys think, oh, you know, what is it? Does that 107 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:19,799 Speaker 1: anything to do with rodents? Absolutely? So they have about 108 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:23,040 Speaker 1: a hundred cats currently like roaming the grounds, and they 109 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: take care of them too. Um. They've spayed and neutered 110 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,159 Speaker 1: the cats. They have permanent feeding stations installed in two 111 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: of the parks, and they generally provide like routine veterinary 112 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: care like vaccinations and things like that, maybe a little 113 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: flea treatment just to make sure they're not transmitting those 114 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: pesky fleas well. That I mean that that makes sense. 115 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: You want to get rid of the smaller mice so 116 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: that you can concentrate on the bigger ones. So the 117 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: interesting thing is they've taken a little flak about it 118 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: over the years too, because cat lovers have different feelings 119 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:55,239 Speaker 1: about trap and release programs and spaying, neutering all that stuff. 120 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:57,039 Speaker 1: So some people want to see the cats have a 121 00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 1: permanent home, while some people are totally okay with what 122 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,360 Speaker 1: Disney How's going on now? So these are just feral 123 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: cats that are just around and kind of in hiding 124 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 1: during the day and then they come out at night. Yeah, 125 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:12,279 Speaker 1: although they're not totally in hiding, you can spot them 126 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 1: and people do spot them and cat lovers do. And 127 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: so there's a whole thing online, as you might guess, 128 00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: and it's called at Disneyland Cats. You can find him 129 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: on Instagram. There's one particularly photogenic fellow and his name 130 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:28,479 Speaker 1: is Francisco hashtag Francisco Fridays. He's lovely. I caught a 131 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 1: photo of him and he is bathed in a sunbeam 132 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: and it looks like he's pondering life. He's got like 133 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 1: this coat of brown and orange and that just like 134 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: his coat, is glow. It's lovely. It looks like a 135 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,119 Speaker 1: lovely Disney cat. Well, despite the fact that I'm pretty 136 00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: scared of cats, that is sweet and finally a reason 137 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: to go to Disney right right to see the cat 138 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: exactly All right, Well, mango, what do you have next? 139 00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,839 Speaker 1: So this is the story I never would have found 140 00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 1: without the wonderful Stacy Conrad, but she told me this 141 00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: crazy fact about how Walt Disney actually kidnapped Richard Nixon. What. So, 142 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 1: this is when Nixon was VP, and apparently in nine 143 00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 1: Nixon visited Disneyland to dedicate the whole new mono rail 144 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,960 Speaker 1: system while had built, and when he and Walt took off, 145 00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,240 Speaker 1: the Secret Service was caught off guard and they were 146 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: just standing out on the platform outside, so they weren't 147 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: inside the train. But here's the funny part. So they 148 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: like raced around the Secret Services all worried, and then 149 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,800 Speaker 1: as the train starts pulling into the platform, the Secret 150 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 1: Service starts like chasing to to catch up with the train, 151 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: and then Disney takes off again. Apparently as the train 152 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:37,120 Speaker 1: was slowing like, Nixon's daughters were so excited that they 153 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: started yelling again again. So you know, Disney Disney, of 154 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,200 Speaker 1: course keep them happy. That's pretty great. But what's the 155 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,240 Speaker 1: weirdest part about this is that the mono rail had 156 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: only been tested one time to that point, so imagine 157 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 1: ears were actually worried that it might break down or 158 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:53,640 Speaker 1: even catch on fire with Nix and his family on board. Wow, 159 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:55,920 Speaker 1: you know, it's even more weird than that, with that 160 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 1: I also have a Nixon related Disney fact of our 161 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 1: I'm facts. Two of them are related to Nixon, and 162 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 1: mine is a little bit different, a little bit less fun. 163 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 1: And that is the fact that he delivered his I 164 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: Am not a Crook speech from the ballroom of Disney's 165 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: Contemporary Resort hotel. Did you did you know this? I 166 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 1: never knew this until we were digging stuff into this. 167 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:19,720 Speaker 1: So in nineteen seventy three, he's buried in the Watergate scandal. Well, 168 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: there's a gathering of the Associated Press managing editors there 169 00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: and it's it's some sort of conference, and he decided 170 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 1: to take this opportunity to go speak to them, and 171 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: he sits down for one on one interview and that's 172 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:32,800 Speaker 1: where he delivers that famous quote of I Am not 173 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 1: a crook. That's the Beatles and Nixon. Yeah, I know, 174 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,719 Speaker 1: it's just a big history that happened there. All right. 175 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 1: So it's our last fact of the day, Allison, you 176 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,079 Speaker 1: got one more for us? I sure do, And this 177 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: is a good one. Okay. So in Disney gets together 178 00:08:46,880 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: with co Tex or rather Kimberly Clark, who, as we 179 00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 1: all know, is the big multinational corporation, and they make 180 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: a lot of consumer products, and co Tex in particular 181 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: is a maker of women's hygiene products, like you know, 182 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:03,040 Speaker 1: things like liners and pads and tampons and stuff like that. 183 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: So they get together and they're like, yeah, let's let's 184 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: do this thing. Let's tell let's tell young women the 185 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 1: story of menstruation. And so I watched the film a 186 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: bunch of times on YouTube. There is this bunch of 187 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: times I did, Yeah, absolutely, it's uh. There's this lovely 188 00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,920 Speaker 1: um lilting narration throughout, very practical to a lot of 189 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 1: common sense. She is uncredited, which bummed me out because 190 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: I wanted to find out who she was. Um. And 191 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: so she takes you through the whole She takes young 192 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: females through the whole story of menstruation, and there's I 193 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,320 Speaker 1: thought it should be a good refresher course. Honestly. Was 194 00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 1: this distributed somewhere or like or where where was this? 195 00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: It was shown to millions of kids in health education classes. 196 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 1: Very interesting. It's pretty wide ranging too. Once you get 197 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: through the actual mechanics of menstruation. There's a lot of 198 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: advice that comes with it, and they do a little 199 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: myth busting, which I particularly dug um as brs exercise, 200 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 1: it's good for you. Um do in fact, shower when 201 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: you're going through menstruation. That's a good thing as well. 202 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: Um and some other stuff. I just got a kick 203 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: out of it. Well that is super interesting, Okay, I 204 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:14,680 Speaker 1: know it's crazy that Disney was in the sponsored content 205 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: game exactly. Alright, mano, you got one more. Yeah, so 206 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: mine is strangely an underwear related fact. And uh so 207 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,480 Speaker 1: this is a headline I found from two thousand one 208 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,040 Speaker 1: and it caught my attention. It was in the l 209 00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:31,319 Speaker 1: A Times and it reads, quote new contract gives Disney 210 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:37,520 Speaker 1: workers clean underwear. So apparently, thanks to their team Stares union, 211 00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,079 Speaker 1: Disney employees negotiated a new contract where they received individual 212 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 1: underwear and they no longer had to wear the communal 213 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: underwear that had been supplied. So basically this is how 214 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: it worked. Like you get your goofy, your mini mouse costume, 215 00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,319 Speaker 1: and then you wear it for the day and then 216 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,000 Speaker 1: you turn it back into Disney Services for laundering. But 217 00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: something wasn't working because enough people got license scabies that 218 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: they had to change their rules. And now employees not 219 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:03,280 Speaker 1: only get their own underwear, they also get to wash 220 00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: them themselves. How sweet. Wow. All right, well that's kind 221 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,520 Speaker 1: of a scary fact. But I decided to also end 222 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:12,559 Speaker 1: with a bit of a spooky fact as we're getting 223 00:11:12,559 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 1: closer to Halloween here, and this one has to do 224 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 1: with the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. So according to 225 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: Jason Searle, who's the author of a book called Pirates 226 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: of the Caribbean From the Magic Kingdom to the movies, 227 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 1: they apparently used to use real skeletons in this ride 228 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,680 Speaker 1: when you would go through it because they were worried 229 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: that like fake skeletons or fake bones wouldn't look real enough. 230 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,880 Speaker 1: So they worked with u C l A. I know, yeah, 231 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,959 Speaker 1: like that's not a real skeleton. Everything else here looks 232 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 1: super real, but not those skeleton bones. And so they 233 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: worked with u c l A Medical Center in order 234 00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: to get real bones. And this was this was the 235 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,960 Speaker 1: case for a little while until they decided that maybe 236 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,280 Speaker 1: this was a little bit insensitive to be using these 237 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 1: actual bones from real dead people, and so they decided 238 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,360 Speaker 1: to return the bones. But apparently there's a lone skull 239 00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 1: and crossbon is looming in the headboard in that scene 240 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: where a long dead pirate is sitting in a bed. 241 00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 1: I think he's clutching a magnifying glass. So that's the word. 242 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,760 Speaker 1: I don't know if that's true, but that's what they 243 00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 1: say that that's the lone skeleton, real skeleton still in. 244 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,080 Speaker 1: I love the idea that, you know, like some people 245 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: don't neate their bodies of science, if you could just 246 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: tick the box that donates your bodies to like Disney, 247 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,559 Speaker 1: I would totally do that. I mean, give your organs 248 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,280 Speaker 1: to better causes, right, but when it comes to the bones, 249 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,559 Speaker 1: like sure, that'd be awesome, be forever remembered as part 250 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: of a ride. So I'm going to Disney World. Yeah. 251 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: Have you guys been to Disney World. Yeah, I've been 252 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: to Disney World. I've never actually been to Disneyland. Yeah 253 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: yeah yeah. But Mr Tristan over here is passionate with 254 00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: his same Mr Toad. I hope it happens one day, Tristan. 255 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,640 Speaker 1: Good luck with that, alright, Mango. So those are our facts. 256 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,720 Speaker 1: What do you think we gotta give out a trophy today?
