WEBVTT - Opposite Icks with Hunter Haag 0:00:00.480 --> 0:00:04.280 Hell, I suck at Dating with de Nungler and Jared 0:00:04.360 --> 0:00:10.760 Haven and I heard radio podcast. Hey, everybody, welcome to 0:00:10.760 --> 0:00:13.200 an all new episode of Help I Suck at Dating. 0:00:13.320 --> 0:00:16.360 Jared here with Dawson, Who's sitting in my lap while 0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:19.520 mama's in the other room. That's right. Say hello Dawson. Okay, 0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:23.440 good talk, bro Dean. How the hell are you? Hey? 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:28.040 Hey Dawson, Uh, good man, how are you good? How 0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:31.480 was your engagement party? I'm so sorry we couldn't make it. Yeah, Um, 0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:33.120 we got a bone to pick with you, Hunter. Sorry, 0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:34.840 I just gotta pick a bone and Jared real quick, 0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:39.120 pick a bone. Engagement party was good. It was beautiful, 0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.839 Kalin crushed it. The wedding planners uh and event planners 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:46.959 all did a really really good job. Um, we were 0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.360 just two people short. You know, we budgeted for two 0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:53.840 more people and we didn't have the consumption needed to 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:56.720 I guess to consume all the things. Even Dawson's getting 0:00:56.720 --> 0:01:00.160 a little upset about it. Good boy, Dawson. Um, he's 0:01:00.200 --> 0:01:02.680 given me for not going to the engagement party. It 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:05.480 was good on the most few things. You know, let 0:01:05.560 --> 0:01:07.400 me tell you exactly why we can't go. So we 0:01:07.400 --> 0:01:09.640 weren't planning. On the podcast, you were like, do we 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.120 even invite you? And we weren't sure, and I was like, 0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:13.600 we'll invite us, and we probably just won't. That's my 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:16.200 biggest mistake in life is the biggest mistake was inviting us. 0:01:17.160 --> 0:01:19.800 What happened was so we weren't planning. We're in l 0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.280 A later this month for work, so we're like, okay, 0:01:22.280 --> 0:01:24.240 well we can't go back and forth, especially with Dawson. 0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:28.400 It's just impossible. Nick called us like, I don't know 0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.479 two weeks ago. I guess two and a half weeks ago, 0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.920 about a week and a half before he proposed, and 0:01:35.040 --> 0:01:40.080 he goes, I'm proposing to Natalie and we're having I'm proposing, 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.440 and then we're gonna go back to the house and 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.880 I want people like friends, close friends and family there 0:01:44.920 --> 0:01:47.760 to be like surprised. It's a get together, We're so 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:49.880 happy for you, blah blah blah blah blah, and in 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:53.360 his most Nick way, goes, well, I wish I could 0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:55.880 move m Nick. He goes, listen, it would mean a 0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:57.560 lot to me if if you guys just sucked it 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:01.919 up in game. We're like, how do we like? Because 0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.960 all we have because I know that we could probably 0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:06.760 logistically make it work if we just suck it up 0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.880 and go. And I was so like, I was like, well, 0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:10.960 if it means that much to you, I was like, 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.000 we'll definitely try. And he's like, well it would mean 0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:14.400 a lot to me if you were there. I'm like, 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.320 all right, cool. So then we're like, okay, how do 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.120 we make this work? And then it was that Thursday, 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:23.160 January twelve, and your engagement party was Saturday, January and 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.600 it was like, let's see if we can just make it. 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:27.680 Seeing how we'll be in l A, we should try 0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:31.280 to go to both. The problem came. Your engagement party 0:02:31.360 --> 0:02:34.320 was three to seven on Saturday. There are no flights 0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:39.240 later than about like one or two o'clock out of 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.720 Los Angeles to the East coast because of the time change, 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:44.560 because if you leave, you're if you leave at two o'clock, 0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.560 it's a six about five let's say five and a 0:02:47.560 --> 0:02:49.359 half hours plus three hours, so it's eight and a 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.360 half hours, so you don't get back till about midnight. 0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:54.160 So that's why there's no flights unless we took a 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:56.639 red eye, but even then we went back till Sunday, 0:02:57.040 --> 0:02:59.640 so we were like, okay, either we fly go to 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.720 Nick fly on Thursday, fly out Friday because her parents 0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:07.520 have to watch Dawson, and we felt terrible leaving him 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.600 there for three nights compared to one night, because it's 0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:11.720 it's much easier. Been like, listen, we're just gonna drop 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.280 him off for one night. We'll be back tomorrow. I 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:14.799 just gotta get through this one night because he's not 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:16.799 sleeping through the night. You know, he's still a lot 0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.320 and they're in their sixties. I don't want to put 0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:20.119 too much on him, and they've watched him so much. 0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:23.360 I know she doesn't give a crap. I give a 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:25.160 crap because I feel terrible because I feel like I'm 0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.360 pawning off my kid to someone, you know, and I 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:31.560 always feel bad about that. See Hunter, there we go. 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.960 So long story short, it was like we either go 0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.320 for just Thursday, go to Nick's and then come directly back, 0:03:38.600 --> 0:03:41.600 or we do Thursday, Friday, Saturday, come back on Sunday, 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.240 which means they'd have Dawson for four days, three nights. 0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.800 And it was just like, let's just go for the 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:52.800 one night. Dean will hate us, but like we know that, 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:54.480 like the way Nick phrase did it, and we just 0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:56.280 knew how much it would mean to Nick if we 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:58.760 were there, and it was like, we just gotta go, 0:03:58.920 --> 0:04:00.800 we gotta go. And then of course when we were there, 0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:02.920 we're glad we went because he saw it. Like as 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:04.240 soon as he walked in, he came up to us, 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:05.840 gave us like a big hug and kiss and was like, 0:04:06.360 --> 0:04:07.839 I can't tell you how much it means that we're 0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.000 you guys are here. And I was like, well, god, 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.480 damn it, there we go. Plus yours is an engagement party. 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.160 His was like the proposal. So I was like, it's 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:16.919 kind of like a wedding almost. I don't know what 0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:18.560 to do. So we had a lot of back and 0:04:18.600 --> 0:04:20.200 forth that it was not easy. We wanted to go 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:21.760 to the gage of party and we're so sorry and 0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.840 we suck. It's cool, man, I just you know, now 0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.160 I see where I rank in your friendship between here 0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.599 we go, here we go. It is what it is. 0:04:30.640 --> 0:04:33.919 It's okay. It's just, you know, just a little sad 0:04:34.279 --> 0:04:36.279 to you know, so you always know in the back 0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.200 of your head, but it's always just a little saddening 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:41.400 to really see it. This is not if you if 0:04:41.480 --> 0:04:43.880 you called if it was the compete opposite. And Nick 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.240 was like, hey, we have an engagement party. If you 0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:46.719 can make it great. If you can't, like not a 0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.000 big deal. And then you called and you were like, hey, 0:04:49.000 --> 0:04:51.479 I'm proposing to Kaitlin. We're having like a little get together. 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:52.760 It would mean a lot to me if you guys 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:54.599 could really try to suck it up and come. And 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.960 I was like, all right, well, obviously Dean wants us 0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.359 there more than Nick does, because Nick's is just like 0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.920 get together, which is great and wonderful and fantastic, and 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:03.800 we want to be there to support because we love 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:07.440 you guys. But it's like I equated it because a 0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:09.920 couple of years ago, I got invited to Carly and 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.760 Evans wedding and it was the same day as my 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:16.640 buddy's bachelor party. And I was like, oh no, So 0:05:16.720 --> 0:05:18.919 I was either gonna miss Carlin Evans wedding or I 0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.480 was gonna miss his bachelor party. And so I was like, well, 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.800 a wedding takes precedent over a bachelor party because we 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:25.479 can like go get drinks another time, and I know 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.320 he only has one, but like it's like you just 0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.360 gotta pick and choose and it sucks because you love 0:05:30.400 --> 0:05:31.840 them both. And so I went to the wedding, and 0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:33.920 my buddy still has never forgiven me. He was like, yeah, 0:05:34.160 --> 0:05:36.200 a bachelor party you didn't go to, And I'm like, bro, 0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:42.000 I had a wedding and now Carly never known divorced, 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.280 So maybe it was just a big waste of time. Um, 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.320 all right, Well, I'm am gonna hold this over your 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:50.279 head for the rest of eternity. I am sad that 0:05:50.320 --> 0:05:52.359 you guys didn't make it. I'm especially sad that you 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:54.560 guys didn't make it and you were in l A 0:05:54.640 --> 0:05:57.400 the same weekend. But I do understand the days. The 0:05:57.520 --> 0:06:00.240 days are long, and you had your b me to 0:06:00.240 --> 0:06:03.800 get back to. It's just those things that's really because 0:06:03.800 --> 0:06:05.479 if it was if it wasn't for dowset, of course 0:06:05.520 --> 0:06:06.520 we would have been there and be like, oh, we'll 0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:08.039 just go and stay for a few nights. But we 0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:11.279 had a baby friendly party, though we had everything a 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.320 baby possibly could need, and you don't you guys would 0:06:14.360 --> 0:06:16.919 know that because you weren't there. So we were not 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:18.680 going to bring Dawson. That was the thing, because we're 0:06:18.680 --> 0:06:21.200 flying cross country with him later this month, and the 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.479 idea of flying cross country with him in the first place, 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:25.400 as you can hear in the background, is already like 0:06:27.000 --> 0:06:29.520 just trying to like get mentally prepared for that. And 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:31.520 the idea of doing it twice in a matter of 0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:35.120 two and a half weeks, Dude, I would have it 0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:36.840 would have taken a lot. Let me tell you it's okay. 0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:38.120 It makes me sad. I'm going to hold it over 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:40.440 the head for your head. I'm sorry, dude. We love 0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.240 you guys, and like, God, damnit, I don't want to 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:45.360 I don't want to hear this ban during I don't 0:06:45.400 --> 0:06:47.160 want to hear it. I do want to say, though, 0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:49.719 I do feel bad because we have had our co 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.000 host sitting in the wings this entire time, as we've 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.720 been airing out our dirty laundry with each other. Um, 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.039 you guys know her from I know you from the 0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:00.760 Last Bachelor and Paradise Bachelor Paradise Ses eight. I think 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:03.440 it was right. Her name is and I hope I 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:10.000 say the last name right. Hunter Hag, Hag, big hunter Hag. 0:07:10.840 --> 0:07:14.400 It's definitely better than Hag. You know, you can never know. 0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:16.920 Last names are weird these days not these days are 0:07:16.920 --> 0:07:19.720 always been weird, but especially living in the South. People 0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:21.520 don't even say my first name, right, so it's always 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:27.040 Hunter Hag. What a lovely name, Hunter Hag. How did 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:30.800 you say your first name? It's they say Hunter with 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:38.000 no T Hunter. Oh, you were on Hunter. You were 0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:41.800 on Clayton season and then you were on Batchel and 0:07:41.800 --> 0:07:48.720 Paraday season eight. Briefly, Yes, most famously known for ibs, 0:07:48.880 --> 0:07:54.840 right that. Yeah, that seems to be the case. Maybe're 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:58.080 not most famously, but that's what I remember. Yeah, I 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:00.720 love that for me. Kicked off the whole season sitting 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:03.160 on the toilet, so that was that was a good 0:08:03.200 --> 0:08:05.080 moment for me. But you wonder why I like it 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:08.360 so much because, for the first time on reality television 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:12.000 in my experience, I gotta watch people talk about poop 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.920 in the way that like, you know, people talk about 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:17.040 it regularly, but you never talked about it on television. 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.360 So it was nice to see. It was refreshing. Yeah, yeah, 0:08:20.440 --> 0:08:23.200 that's definitely a way to to look at it. Definitely 0:08:23.240 --> 0:08:25.440 the bright side of it, for sure. So but yeah, 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:27.640 I'm super super open with ibs. You kind of have 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.360 to be if you have it, you know, like you're 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.360 gonna eventually have to be like y'all, I gotta excuse 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.000 myself real quick, so you just gotta put it out 0:08:36.040 --> 0:08:38.839 there and then nobody, you know, it's kind of like, oh, 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:43.000 what's what's happening. What I tell usually is anytime she knows, 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:44.680 like if I say, hey, I got into the bathroom, 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:47.120 that means I have to pay. And if I say hey, 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.360 I have to use the restroom, she knows that's a poop. 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:53.800 That's like my telltale sign. I don't know why I started. 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:55.720 She called me out at one time. She's like, you know, 0:08:55.760 --> 0:08:57.480 every time you say you say you have to use 0:08:57.480 --> 0:08:59.280 the restroom, it's poop, and every time you say you 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.400 have to use the bathroom p And I'm like, I 0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:04.240 think that would be opposite because I have to use 0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:09.720 the restroom so proper, so proper for you. That's interesting, Yeah, 0:09:09.840 --> 0:09:12.400 oh it's I think probably Dean can attest this like 0:09:12.440 --> 0:09:16.080 as a guy, poop time is like very um, it's important, 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:18.640 it's it's it is sacred, like it is the time 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.800 where I closed the door. I literally most of the 0:09:20.800 --> 0:09:23.239 time when I have to go go to the restroom, 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.520 I'll close the door and there'll be an audible like 0:09:27.679 --> 0:09:29.400 and then I do my thing, and it's like a 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:35.920 great minutes. Not the sigh, not to sigh. I've got 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.040 a question for you, how much do you hate talking 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:42.360 about this? On a scale of one to ten, I 0:09:42.400 --> 0:09:45.600 think I've only got a five. You know, like you're 0:09:45.679 --> 0:09:48.320 used to it. You don't like it, but you're you 0:09:49.000 --> 0:09:53.120 are okay used to it. It's kind of my personality now. 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:56.959 So was it But is that from the show that 0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.120 that became a thing or was it like amongst your 0:09:59.120 --> 0:10:03.360 friend group? Everyone? I don't know. So my friends knew 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.120 about it. I was diagnosed when I was like seven 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.880 years old, so this has been something that everybody knows about. 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:12.600 But I did not talk about it to the extent 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.680 in which I did on the show. But because if 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.959 you rewind back to Clayton's season, we were in Toronto 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:25.079 and we did um a roast and Marlena had roasted 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:30.840 me about how IBS matches my personality. So I guess 0:10:32.559 --> 0:10:34.840 it's a pretty good roast. It was good. It was 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.599 pretty good. Yeah, yeah, no, it was definitely good. I 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:40.800 got a lot of good roasts that day, so against me, 0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:42.600 oh yeah, oh. I feel like if I was in 0:10:42.640 --> 0:10:46.800 a roast people would crush me. It would not be 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:49.079 a good day for me. Yeah, I think there's a 0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:52.840 lot of roast about me. Yeah. I can definitely roast 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:54.280 a bunch of things about you, Jared, Like how you 0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.760 come to your friends engagement party, but you fly out 0:10:56.760 --> 0:11:11.120 all of your other friends engagement Okay, cool. So so 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.400 we want to talk about ibs anymore, Hunter, just for 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:16.559 your own sanity, UM, I want to know how did 0:11:16.559 --> 0:11:17.840 you How did you get on the show in the 0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:22.240 first place? I was okay. So, actually, to back it 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.280 up a little bit, I was a character performer at 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:28.280 Walt Disney World, and I had already thought about potentially 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:30.040 applying for the show at one point because I was 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.800 in a relationship for seven years I was cheated on, 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:36.040 and then I was like, oh, what if I go 0:11:36.120 --> 0:11:39.199 and find love on The Bachelor? Um? Which is funny 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:42.200 because I didn't even watch the show up until Colton 0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:46.240 season of The Bachelor, UM, and that's the only season 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:52.960 I really watched. So after COVID happened, I was laid 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:56.400 off from Disney and all my friends were with me 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:58.160 and they were like, we're all going to nominate you 0:11:58.320 --> 0:11:59.960 to go on The Bachelor because now you don't have 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.720 that conflict of interest. I couldn't work at Disney and 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.079 go on The Bachelor, So um, yeah, they took it 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:08.160 upon themselves to nominate me, and I got a call 0:12:08.520 --> 0:12:09.920 I think, I want to say it was like March 0:12:10.000 --> 0:12:14.080 or April. It was months after the fact, and I 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.400 almost in the answer. I don't usually answer random vote calls, 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:18.800 but I did and they were like, hey, this is 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.880 so suffer Bachelor casting. It was like, are you serious? 0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:24.200 Like this is actually like somebody actually reached out to me. 0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:27.439 This is crazy. But yeah, so that's how I ended 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:31.400 up on the show. Yeah. I just kept getting through 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:33.520 each round and I was like, how was this happened? 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.760 How am I still around? Every single time? I was like, 0:12:35.760 --> 0:12:39.800 oh I blew that. But yeah, somehow that's gonna have 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:41.720 one for me too. I feel like, I was like, 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:43.960 I can't believe they still want to continue on with me, 0:12:44.040 --> 0:12:46.440 But here we are. Um, Jared, if you had to 0:12:46.480 --> 0:12:50.920 guess what character Hunter would play at a Disney Park, well, 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:53.599 unfortunately I already know this because it was it was 0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.719 in the Rundown you were Bell. I was yes, that 0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.480 was another one. Though you were Bell. I would pick 0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.360 you more as a Cinderella because you have blonde hair. 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:06.880 We wear wigs. We were awaked in colored contacts, so 0:13:07.000 --> 0:13:09.480 I was Bell from Beating the Beast and then Rapunzel 0:13:09.559 --> 0:13:13.400 from Tangled, so I were obviously a very long wig 0:13:13.480 --> 0:13:17.040 for a Punzel and green colored contacts. Did you have 0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.000 to do you have to sing while working at Disney 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:24.880 playing Bell? No? God, no, no, I'm not a singer. Um. 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:28.160 You did have to improv and act and do all 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.000 these things. You had to use her voice and have 0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:35.599 her mannerisms. You'd go through this extensive character training, um 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:39.360 and basically learn how to be that character through and through. 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:42.760 So that's all I did. But I did Uh the 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:46.280 Castle Show, and I was a Punzel on that and 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:50.920 we with lip sing. Mhm h. So what is it? 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.800 Is there any secrets of working at Disney? Are there 0:13:53.800 --> 0:13:56.679 tons of them? What do you want to know? Everything? Tunnel? 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.560 So there isn't. So I have heard that the characters 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.440 have to use these underground tunnels and you are only 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.520 allowed to be out of character when you're not being 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.079 seen by anybody, which is why you guys go in 0:14:06.120 --> 0:14:08.760 these tunnels because you don't want to be walking out 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:12.440 of the park as Bell. Like not that you smoke, 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.439 but like I envisioned like these workers just like smoking 0:14:14.480 --> 0:14:16.319 a cigarette and telling everybody to go straight to hell 0:14:16.559 --> 0:14:18.079 if a kid runs out to them because they're trying 0:14:18.080 --> 0:14:20.400 to get to the car and go get a drink. Yeah, 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:23.040 so we actually have a full transportation system that gets 0:14:23.120 --> 0:14:26.200 us to m from the parking lot, the cast parking 0:14:26.240 --> 0:14:29.320 lot to the tunnels of Magic Kingdom, and so you're 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.840 underground the entire time up until you go on what 0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:35.520 we say on stage um, and that's where any employee 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:37.720 that works there because they don't want to see somebody 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:41.480 from tomorrow Land over in frontier Land because it disrupts 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:45.040 the whole idea of what Walt Disney had with everything 0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:49.040 being separate and being in this like alter universe. So yeah, 0:14:49.160 --> 0:14:52.800 it's not just character performers. But when we're downstairs in 0:14:52.840 --> 0:14:56.200 the tunnel, um, and it's very it's huge, it's huge. 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.240 We have like a subway down there. We have it's 0:14:59.240 --> 0:15:04.600 called the mousk Tyria, so we can like go eat there. Um, 0:15:04.640 --> 0:15:07.760 their vehicles that drive through there. So it's very large. 0:15:07.840 --> 0:15:11.280 But um, yeah, we stayed on there until we go 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:13.560 up and then we can do meet and greets or 0:15:13.640 --> 0:15:18.440 shows and then yeah, you can't break character ever, ever, ever, ever, 0:15:18.960 --> 0:15:21.360 Like even if something crazy happens in front of you, 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.600 like I saw this man tackle somebody else in front 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:27.720 of me, and I just had to be like, oh, 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:33.160 I need to go see Lumier. No way, You're like 0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:36.240 gotta go. That's pretty funny. I have a couple of 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:40.240 friends who also were perfor performers, I guess for Disney. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:44.560 They played like silver Mist and the other one was Mulan. 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:49.800 So they always raved about how like transformative it was. 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.040 It's it's so interesting to hear because they like absolutely 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:55.360 like they love their jobs, you know, and like then 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.760 they would get like these full time jobs where they 0:15:57.760 --> 0:15:59.720 would like, you know, their careers, but then they would 0:15:59.720 --> 0:16:02.960 still come back and do this occasionally and like just 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.360 rave about it and it's crazy like the culture that 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:08.520 they're able to create. Yeah. Yeah, I actually did that too. 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:12.960 I moved back to Charlotte, North Carolina and started my 0:16:13.040 --> 0:16:16.560 job in HR and was still going seasonal, so I 0:16:16.600 --> 0:16:19.560 would spend my vacation time for my corporate job to 0:16:19.720 --> 0:16:25.360 then go back to Disney World and that's crazy there. Yeah, 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:29.360 it's pretty cool. Do you still do that or no? No? 0:16:29.520 --> 0:16:31.960 Because I was laid off and Honestly, I'm getting a 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:35.720 little up there. You know, I just turned thirty, so oh, yeah, 0:16:35.760 --> 0:16:37.840 you're so old, get the hell out of here. Well, 0:16:37.880 --> 0:16:40.840 when you're portraying a character that's like seventeen years old, like, 0:16:41.840 --> 0:16:44.200 which is crazy. When you think about these Disney characters, 0:16:44.200 --> 0:16:47.720 they're all like I think Jasmine is like fourteen, and 0:16:47.760 --> 0:16:51.120 Aladdin it's something cookie crazy like that. Yeah, I want 0:16:51.120 --> 0:16:55.320 to say, she's sixteen, snow White, sport teen, um. But 0:16:55.400 --> 0:16:57.280 then like Els and on and the ones that are 0:16:57.880 --> 0:17:00.960 more recent, they're getting older, so there as they well 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:05.920 should yeah, exactly. Creepy. Yeah, it's very weird. It's very weird. 0:17:05.960 --> 0:17:08.720 They're because I always envisioned like all these princesses like 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.960 in their twenties, That's what I always imagine. But as 0:17:10.960 --> 0:17:13.200 I get older and then you hear these stories of 0:17:13.240 --> 0:17:16.199 like no, like you said, snow wait it's fifteen or whatever, 0:17:16.240 --> 0:17:19.000 and Jasmine sixteen, and you're like, wait a minute, so 0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:22.919 you're telling me Jaffar, this creepy, creepy old man was 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:25.480 hitting on a sixteen year old and wanted to marry her, 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:29.639 and he in return seduced him. It's it's very weird. 0:17:29.840 --> 0:17:33.520 It's very weird really, just like makes you feel uncomfortable. 0:17:34.119 --> 0:17:36.040 So another secret that I've heard from Disney, and I 0:17:36.080 --> 0:17:37.640 don't know if it's true or not, and I don't 0:17:37.640 --> 0:17:39.199 even know if you would have knowledge of this, but 0:17:39.359 --> 0:17:43.800 I've heard that there is a cat farm that Disney has. 0:17:43.840 --> 0:17:46.800 Have you heard of this? A cat farm? A cat 0:17:46.920 --> 0:17:49.359 farm where Disney. So this is the story that I've 0:17:49.400 --> 0:17:53.359 heard that there's potentially a cat farm that Disney owns 0:17:53.400 --> 0:17:57.520 where they raise these cats, and these cats are trained 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.000 to go into the park at night and kill all 0:18:01.119 --> 0:18:04.400 the mice that are in the Disney park because obviously 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.520 there is I would imagine some sort of infestation of 0:18:07.560 --> 0:18:09.920 mice throughout the Disney parks because think of how much 0:18:10.119 --> 0:18:12.360 food there is on the ground, Like, how could there 0:18:12.400 --> 0:18:15.240 not be mice that get in there and try this food. 0:18:15.440 --> 0:18:18.320 So I've heard that Disney, in trying to counteract this 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.960 raise these cats, bred these cats and their sole purpose 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.199 was to be trained to go into the park after hours, 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:30.200 kill all the mice, and come back at sunrise before 0:18:30.240 --> 0:18:33.000 the park opens. Do you have any knowledge of this? 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:37.399 I have heard this, and that is not true, because 0:18:37.440 --> 0:18:40.800 we would do overnight. I know we would do overnight 0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.080 rehearsals when the park is closed for you know, just 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:47.480 a couple of hours, and I saw no cats there, 0:18:47.760 --> 0:18:51.720 So that's disappointed because it's so inventive and creative. Maybe 0:18:51.760 --> 0:18:53.320 they don't send the cats out on the nights you 0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:57.040 guys are doing rehearsals. Maybe they maybe they're like super 0:18:57.080 --> 0:19:00.800 super secret. Yeah, Kitty Cat clan up there with Walt's 0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:07.480 dead body being in the tunnels too, So that's it. 0:19:07.720 --> 0:19:11.200 That's just what it is. Apparently he stored somewhere frozen 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:16.639 because he said if technology or science advances enough to 0:19:16.760 --> 0:19:19.040 bring him back, he would like to come back. So 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:21.600 apparently his body's furs. I kind of believe it a 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:24.119 little bit. Do I believe the location of him, No, 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.560 but I do kind of believe that he was. You know, 0:19:27.840 --> 0:19:31.239 he has a pretty big imagination, so I could see it. 0:19:31.359 --> 0:19:35.160 I could see it. But what is true? This is wild. 0:19:35.640 --> 0:19:37.600 So there is something that we called I think it's 0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:42.160 code Grandpa, could Grandma something like that. Um. A lot 0:19:42.200 --> 0:19:47.520 of people will bring UH their loved ones ashes and 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:53.240 try to spread them. Yes, Sarks and UH specifically on 0:19:53.400 --> 0:19:58.360 Haunted Mansions ride a lot, so they have to stop 0:19:58.880 --> 0:20:01.800 the ride and go clean up the ashes, because ashes 0:20:01.800 --> 0:20:07.560 apparently glow in the dark. So how can ashes glow 0:20:07.560 --> 0:20:10.040 in the dark? Is that some sort of Disney technology? Honestly, 0:20:10.119 --> 0:20:12.240 don't quote me on that because it might sound really stupid, 0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:16.280 but that's what I heard. That's what I heard, Disney technology. 0:20:16.359 --> 0:20:19.120 Chairs Well, like, how could ashes glow in the dark 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:22.760 unless you're using some sort of like specific black light 0:20:22.880 --> 0:20:25.400 to show that all this is? But even like, will 0:20:25.400 --> 0:20:28.120
