This is probably going on. 8 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:54,680 You've probably seen this on the socials, but Costco has this 9 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,840 crazy new deal and I think I told I, I think I told you it 10 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:02,440 was 3 days is actually two days. It's a it's a 2 day park hopper 11 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,160 ticket. Oh well, that's not nearly as 12 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,120 good of a deal. Nearly good, but still really. 13 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,040 Good. It's still a good deal. 14 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:15,360 So it's two days park hoppers with lightning lane and a $60.00 15 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:26,280 food credit card for like 330 dollars so. 349. 349, so 350, So 16 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:32,280 what? That's 175, yeah, 175 a day. 17 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:41,120 And that's, that comes out to less than $100 a day for 18 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:46,880 tickets. If you do the math, if you back 19 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,400 it all out, that's a really good deal. 20 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,520 So if you're if you're a Costco member, go go snatch that up. 21 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,320 And it's like from now to December or something, right? 22 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,600 You have to redeem it.

It was pretty cool. 72 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:55,240 A little bit uneventful, if I have to be honest. 73 00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:58,000 Yeah, but please. Be honest. 74 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:03,680 Still really cool. Somewhere that I've been wanting 75 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,520 to go for a very long time. Yeah. 76 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,680 And so actually some place I haven't wanted to work for a 77 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:17,560 very long time, but it just wasn't, wasn't, wasn't the plan. 78 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:24,120 But so for those who may not know, have I said this on the 79 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,160 podcast? I don't think I have. 80 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:32,960 We have said, I believe at some point we said that you work for 81 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,720 a company. My coworkers know that I have 82 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,240 this podcast. So it's like at this point, but 83 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:44,160 I don't know. So I, I work for a division of 84 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:48,920 the Walt Disney Company. So I was in San Francisco 85 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,480 earlier this week for a conference. 86 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:58,400 And whenever I'm like in the area of like a office of the 87 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:04,000 company, I like to, you know, visit some of the sometimes I 88 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,800 know people that work there. So I don't, you know, I get to 89 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,240 see them face to face that I usually don't get to see them 90 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,600 face to face or you over Zoom or Teams or whatever. 91 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:16,880 But I've been to Lucasfilm, I haven't. 92 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,680 We have been to. Lucasfilm. 93 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,120 I got to do that one. Yes, that's true. 94 00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,320 That was fun. But this time I got to go to 95 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:30,440 Pixar, and Pixar is a really hard place to get into. 96 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,960 You have to really know somebody personally to be invited for a 97 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,240 tour. They're very strict about who 98 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:40,440 gets to go there and. I was not happy about it when he 99 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:41,480 told me. I know. 100 00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:47,640 I was a little bit of a grumpy, pouty little girl about it, I'm 101 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:50,760 not gonna lie. Yeah, yeah, you're pretty upset 102 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,920 and I'm. I felt bad too staying. 103 00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:57,360 At home with four kids for days, you're like, I'm going to Pixar. 104 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:02,240 It's this like normally when I'm traveling for work, I it's very 105 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:03,880 busy. I don't have like a lot of free 106 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,520 time. This trip I had a little bit 107 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:12,040 more free time than I usually do, and so I wanted to see if I 108 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,480 could, you know, get a tour. So I reached out to some 109 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,280 coworkers who may have some Inns and got to go to Pixar for about 110 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:21,880 an hour. So that was pretty cool. 111 00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:24,960 I haven't. We have not talked about it 112 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:26,560 really. He didn't really tell me 113 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:30,680 anything about it. Pixar is located in Emeryville, 114 00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:34,400 which is on the East Bay of San Francisco. 115 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,120 So it's not like in the city proper of San Francisco, It's 116 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:43,560 it's to the east of the Bay. So if you look at San Francisco, 117 00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:48,600 look to the east near Oakland. And it's in a really like 118 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,560 nondescript area like you've seen like the probably this, 119 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:59,160 this picture of the gates of Pixar, like. 120 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,400 Yeah, where it just said it has like 3 brick pillars. 121 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,000 It says Pixar on top. And it's like in like this 122 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:12,720 industrial park, you would never know that it was in in a place 123 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,960 like that. And so pulled up, parked, it 124 00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,160 just looks like any other like office complex. 125 00:08:21,480 --> 00:08:25,040 But then it's when you actually like get all the parking lot and 126 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:31,160 then walk up and the first thing that you see when you walk up is 127 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:37,240 the Pixar lamp and Pixar ball from Toy Story A. 128 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:39,840 Huge. Like life-size. 129 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,159 So yeah, so that's the first thing that you see. 130 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:47,760 And so that was really cool seeing that cause I've seen I 131 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,960 have some coworkers have gone there who have done work with 132 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:57,200 Pixar and it was neat to see that in person. 133 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:03,360 So when you walk in you. So if you didn't know, Pixar was 134 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,480 founded by Steve Jobs, the the founder of Apple. 135 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:14,800 He when he was fired from Apple in the early 90s, he went and 136 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,160 founded a new computer company called Pixar. 137 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,880 And Pixar, they made computers. They didn't start off as an 138 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:26,120 animation company and so they they started off making 139 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,080 computers and then they developed computers that are 140 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,600 powerful enough to do 3D animation and they were the 141 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:40,560 first company to create 3D videos, 3D animation videos. 142 00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:44,200 They started out as a, you know, as a hardware company making 143 00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:49,720 computers and then as a advertising agency. 144 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,160 So they made commercials first. One of our most famous 145 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,800 commercials was Tropicana orange juice. 146 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,520 You probably remember that bouncing orange. 147 00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,600 Yeah, they they they were. I totally like. 148 00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,880 I wouldn't. Like so that was before before 149 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,840 Toy Story. Yes, I totally remember that. 150 00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:14,000 They they became famous for that and doing things like that. 151 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:19,600 And so he eventually came back to Apple, Steve Jobs and he 152 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:25,400 owned both companies. It wasn't until the early 2000s 153 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:31,400 that Disney bought Pixar. It was in the Bob Iger era, so 154 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,680 it was. So they had already made Toy 155 00:10:33,680 --> 00:10:34,200 Story. They've. 156 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:35,880 Already made Toy Story they made. 157 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:37,760 'Cause that was the only it was, it was still it. 158 00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:41,040 They said it differently. It was like a Disney and Pixar 159 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,560 film instead of Disney Pixar. Pixar was. 160 00:10:43,560 --> 00:10:49,760 Or it was like, yeah. Disney was the distributor and 161 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,520 it wasn't till after The Incredibles, I believe, that 162 00:10:54,680 --> 00:11:01,080 Disney bought Pixar and so they were in a different when they 163 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:05,040 built, when they made Toy Story and A Bug's Life, they were in a 164 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,560 different area. They weren't in Emeryville, they 165 00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:10,720 weren't in this building. So it was after the success of 166 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,520 Bug's Life that they built the current building that they were 167 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:19,120 in and the the tour guide, Kathy, she told me that they 168 00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:21,760 like to say that their current building was built by Bugs 169 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,080 because it was built by Bugs Life. 170 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:24,440 I love. Bugs Life. 171 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,040 It's underrated. So when you first get there, you 172 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:29,920 get the main building is called the Steve Jobs building. 173 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,160 So it was dedicated to him after after he died. 174 00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:38,280 And he was very particular about the design of this. 175 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:42,400 And she was telling me that they built a, there's lots of brick 176 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,880 in the, in the building. And he was very specific of how 177 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:51,840 the the the order of the colors of the bricks went and. 178 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:54,520 They did. He they did it wrong at 1st and 179 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,120 he made them tear it all down and start over again. 180 00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,920 Oh. My gosh. 181 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,240 Yeah, so. Kind of a monster. 182 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,080 Yeah, he was. That's if you know anything 183 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,560 about Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs. 184 00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:09,560 That's just the reputation. Very, very specific and very 185 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,040 particular of how you want things made. 186 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:17,360 So you this the main area is called the atrium. 187 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:24,080 So this is the the you walk in as just a huge industrial 188 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,760 looking building with huge natural light coming in. 189 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:34,600 And you have the Luxo Cafe, which is named after the lamp. 190 00:12:34,680 --> 00:12:40,800 The lamp is called Luxo and and so they have, you know, coffee. 191 00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:45,800 They have, you know, food and other things you can buy. 192 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,200 And my tour guide was like, do you want coffee? 193 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:50,920 You drink it at first. I'm like, no, I'm fine. 194 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,880 I just had, you know, coffee on the drive in and I was like, 195 00:12:53,880 --> 00:13:00,560 wait a second, I'm in Pixar and I should get some free coffee. 196 00:13:00,560 --> 00:13:02,560 You should. So I got some free coffee. 197 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,600 Was it good? Was it like a? 198 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:04,640 It was actually. Good. 199 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:05,960 It was the best coffee you've ever had. 200 00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:06,560 It was pretty. Good. 201 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,600 I mean, it was better than coffee I had at the hotel last 202 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:13,680 week. Well, yeah, hotel coffees. 203 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:22,520 So when when they're in, when they're working on a movie, they 204 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:28,920 they feel like they have like mural murals, murals all over 205 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,440 the building and they change those out depending on what 206 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,120 movie that they're currently marketing. 207 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,920 Right now they're in between movies 'cause they just came out 208 00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:43,200 with Toy Story 5, so it's Hoppers and then Toy Story 5. 209 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,560 Right. And then? 210 00:13:44,560 --> 00:13:47,840 So a lot of their artwork that is displayed right now is around 211 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:53,000 Hoppers and Toy Story that's coming down in the winter as 212 00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,400 they get ready for the next movie was Got To, which is the 213 00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:04,160 one about the cat in France? I think so. 214 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:07,040 So yes, they have that and they have different like statues and 215 00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:08,800 stuff. Here's me with. 216 00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:12,000 No one can see it. I know, but I may add these on 217 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,160 to the video on YouTube. Oh OK. 218 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,360 They have like life-size, you know, models and statues of 219 00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,040 different characters. And so they have Luigi and. 220 00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,960 What's his name? What's his name? 221 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,400 What's his name? Tim Luigi. 222 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:31,760 And I can't remember Guido, Guido. 223 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,440 It's interesting that Lightning is so much smaller than Luigi. 224 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,520 These are like cardboard cutouts. 225 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:38,960 Oh, OK, OK. And. 226 00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:41,680 There's that kaboom kaboom in the background. 227 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,880 Duke Kaboom was probably the only thing that was kind of 228 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,880 funny about Toy Story 4. Yeah, and then they had a big 229 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,320 display of for Toy Story 5 and so. 230 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:54,760 So hang on, let me take. We went upstairs. 231 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:59,800 Jamie, you'll like this. And they have museums for 232 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,880 different, like changing out museums where they have 233 00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:10,560 artifacts or artifacts, but like props and things that they use 234 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,800 for making their movies. And it's currently rotating 235 00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,560 depending on what's going on. So whether it's the current 236 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,360 movie that they're working on or anniversaries. 237 00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,360 So right now it was cars because of the 20th anniversary. 238 00:15:25,360 --> 00:15:27,080 What? Yeah, last year was the 20th 239 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:34,840 anniversary 2025 or is it? No 26, it came out right before 240 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,200 I moved. So yeah, it was 20. 241 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:38,120 Oh yeah. So. 242 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,640 The 20, it's the 20. I love cars so much. 243 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:49,240 So they had just like this display of cars, memorabilia, 244 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:55,560 props and everything. And so they had, these were some 245 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,280 of the, the clay models that they do. 246 00:15:58,280 --> 00:16:01,720 So they, when they design characters, they design them 247 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,640 with actual clay models like sculptures first, so they can 248 00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,560 see what it looks like in 3D space, not in the computer. 249 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:12,800 And so they get that, you know, locked in and then they scan 250 00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:15,920 that into the computer and that becomes the character inside the 251 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:19,040 computer. So they have this this employee 252 00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,320 who still works there now, Jerome Ranth and he is one of 253 00:16:23,320 --> 00:16:28,960 their model makers. And so he he hand sculpts all of 254 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:32,920 these these characters and then they scan them into the 255 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:35,240 computer. Should have got me something. 256 00:16:35,240 --> 00:16:37,320 Cars. You know how much I love cars. 257 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,960 I know, I don't think they had anything. 258 00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:44,440 Cars, they had something, but it was like cars 3, cars 2. 259 00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:45,520 Type stuff. I was like. 260 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:54,320 And and so it just, it was just like hallways full of like 261 00:16:55,320 --> 00:17:00,760 storyboards and like drafts and, you know, concept art. 262 00:17:02,440 --> 00:17:05,560 They have what I'm showing Audrey in here right now is what 263 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:10,319 they call a color script, which is where they, they tell a full 264 00:17:10,319 --> 00:17:16,280 movie on one page. So each, each scene of the movie 265 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:25,160 has has like representation of that scene and has concept art 266 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,280 using color. So that way they can see the 267 00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:32,800 full movie on one page and determine whether if the the 268 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,000 colors and the scenes are balanced. 269 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,400 So they see, oh, there's too many light scenes or there's too 270 00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:41,360 many dark scenes. And so they can can, they can 271 00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:44,720 see by looking at the color script, whether if it's too 272 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:48,000 Moody, if it's hitting the right mood or vibes that they're 273 00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:53,080 looking for. So they, they use that to to do 274 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:55,840 that. And just some more concept art 275 00:17:56,240 --> 00:18:03,480 of radiator springs. So this this is they actually 276 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,560 had dirt from Route 66 that would that they did on their 277 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,440 research tour when they were doing the movie. 278 00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:16,480 So they actually took dirt from the area because it, you know, 279 00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:20,240 the dirt's very different. It's like red and you have the 280 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,720 Reds and coppers not, not the kind of dirt that you see here 281 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:29,720 in California. And some actual like, like props 282 00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,480 from different locations like the Hudson Hornet. 283 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,280 There's an actual badge from a car called the Hornet and 284 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,480 different things. So they have like physical 285 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:44,280 representation of those items so that that when they make them in 286 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,280 the computer, they look, you know, accurate. 287 00:18:48,120 --> 00:18:52,040 Here's another concept art of radiator springs. 288 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:58,400 These were all done with pastels. 289 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:05,400 So like the fact how they got neon, like how they were able to 290 00:19:05,400 --> 00:19:09,800 draw neon using pastels, like how it's just like glowing, but 291 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:13,600 it's like hand drawn. Yeah, it's it's pretty crazy how 292 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:14,920 they how they were able to do that. 293 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,480 This is the actual mater. Oh my. 294 00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:22,760 Gosh, so this was a truck that they found on their research 295 00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:33,480 trip on Route 66 and and the the the quote here from Bob Pauley, 296 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:39,880 who is a concept artist at Pixar, says Mater's great fun 297 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,800 because it goes back to some of the research trips we took. 298 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,520 I remember in one town we pulled around the corner and there was 299 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:50,280 these old rusty trucks and one in particular was Mater. 300 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,960 We found him these cars patina in different way in the 301 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,520 southwest is down to East Coast rust. 302 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,160 It's a sunburn and the sides kind of retain some of their 303 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,400 color and the dirt and the where. 304 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:10,320 And I was enamored by that. The detail like that, it rusts 305 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:15,360 different, Yeah, in the Southwest that they put that 306 00:20:15,360 --> 00:20:19,000 into the character. Oh yeah, they take it so 307 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,640 seriously. Which like kind of a side note, 308 00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:26,680 but like my sister just got back from Africa and I know this is 309 00:20:26,680 --> 00:20:29,960 in Pixar, but she they went on several different like safari 310 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:34,720 rides and she was like, it's crazy how like I'm like I'm 311 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,480 looking at Zazu. Like she had video of a horn, 312 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:43,480 horn, hornbill, hornbill. I'm like, I'm singing this song. 313 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,160 They saw Warthogs and she was like, it ran like Pumbaa. 314 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:51,520 Like she was like, it was kind of she's like, it made me like 315 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:55,240 appreciate the, you know, the animator, like the how detailed 316 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,200 and how they put that into the animation. 317 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,120 Like that they, you know, observed these animals and put 318 00:21:03,120 --> 00:21:06,640 that into the animation. She was like, it was, you know, 319 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,000 it was crazy to see. So I mean in similar, I know 320 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,640 that's Disney, but she was like, yeah, just noticing how how much 321 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,600 they pay attention to detail for sure yeah to getting it 322 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,160 accurate. That's why they're that's why 323 00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,840 they're the the best animation, like the where are the all the 324 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:29,720 other ones, you guys? So this picture, I know you 325 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:34,200 can't see it, but we're on the other side of the building. 326 00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:36,080 So this is looking towards the entrance. 327 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,880 So we were we were up here. So we came around came all the 328 00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,680 round the way down this side. So it's. 329 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,640 Just a big warehouse looking building, yes? 330 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,120 It's a big square and you're just going in a circle. 331 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:49,600 We weren't. It's. 332 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,720 A big square and you're going in a circle Well. 333 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,680 Yeah, going around. I know what you mean. 334 00:21:55,320 --> 00:22:00,080 So the, the Pixar is on a street called Park Ave. 335 00:22:00,680 --> 00:22:05,720 And so they, even though 'cause I, I was noticing a lot of the, 336 00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,840 the offices they have like the office number, the person's 337 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,840 name, and they would say either like Upper West Side, Upper East 338 00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:15,680 Side. And I was like, why is 339 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,600 everything like New York themed? Because they're obviously not in 340 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:23,320 New York. So because the, the campus is on 341 00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:27,560 Park Ave. they decided like, let's just give it a New York 342 00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,960 theme. So everything I love themed 343 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:35,440 after New York as far as like, so if you're on the, if you're 344 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,440 on the top floor on the West side. 345 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,040 You're on the Upper West. Side Upper West. 346 00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,680 Side and then the. Same thing on the east side or 347 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,600 if you're on the bottom floor, it's Lower East Side, lower West 348 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,920 side. And and so I wasn't able to go 349 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:54,360 into like, you know, like the cool areas because live is off 350 00:22:54,360 --> 00:22:57,920 limits because of when they're in production for a movie. 351 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,440 There are certain areas that that have science and closed 352 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:04,120 set. So you're aren't able to take 353 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,000 non employees past those areas. Even though I work for the 354 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,440 company, I'm not allowed. You don't. 355 00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:11,000 Well, you don't work for Pixar I. 356 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:15,640 Don't work for Pixar and so they're in the production for 357 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:19,200 their next movie Gato. And so a lot of those places 358 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,320 like where the animators work and. 359 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,440 I hope it's good. Yeah, it looks good. 360 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:30,720 And so I wasn't able to see that cause I've had them coworkers 361 00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:32,840 who have have been able to go into those offices. 362 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:36,840 And so you've probably seen these on different behind the 363 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,800 scenes of Pixar stuff, but the animators are allowed to 364 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,240 decorate their offices and cubicles however they want. 365 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,400 So some have like made it into like a tiki room like. 366 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,680 A. Tiki Room at Disneyland or one 367 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:56,000 has modeled their, their cubicle and their office as a plane 368 00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:59,520 crash like on Lost. So it's like it's like a jet 369 00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:02,880 fuselage and like torn apart and everything. 370 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,080 So they're they they have to pay for themselves, but they're able 371 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,720 to make it however they want to look. 372 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,000 One even built like a log cabin. So they took their cubicle and 373 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,880 made it into a log cabin and so they're it's they're super 374 00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:21,560 unique. There's 13 speakeasies in Pixar 375 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:27,240 that are run by the employees, which is interesting. 376 00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,280 So yeah, what? Yeah. 377 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:36,240 So a lot of some of these these offices and cubicles have have 378 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:41,960 secret rooms and apartments that that are run by the employees 379 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:44,960 to. Where they do they have a like 380 00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:49,760 bartender, mixologist? Who's making these? 381 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:51,920 Drinks employees. It's the employees that that do 382 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,600 it, so they run it themselves. This employee run. 383 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:59,320 But like what employees, like, are they working on a movie? 384 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,040 Are they animators? And they're like, hang on 385 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,360 someone's in my Speakeasy, you got to go make them a cocktail 386 00:25:03,360 --> 00:25:06,200 like. Well, I think they probably open 387 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,680 it like after hours or like just to relax, like hey, we're done 388 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,440 for the day, let's go have a drink. 389 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,760 So there's like speakeasies. There's also secret rooms 390 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:23,160 throughout the the the offices. So if you know California 391 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:27,040 Adventure Lamplight Lounge, there's a secret. 392 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,600 There's a secret room. Yeah. 393 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:36,000 That room is modeled after some of the secret rooms in here at 394 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:38,760 Pixar. My niece got to do, got to go to 395 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,880 the secret room. There's a, there's a specific 396 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:46,600 conference room where the, the table is a glass table and 397 00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,200 underneath the glass table is full of like hot Hot Wheels, 398 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:57,360 like little teddy cars that was made by John Lasseter because he 399 00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:00,960 was really into cars and, and Hot Wheels and all that kind of 400 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:05,080 stuff. And and so that conference room 401 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:09,320 is the the secret room at Lamplight Lounge at the 402 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:13,800 California Adventure is modeled after that conference room and 403 00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,640 it has all that lot of the similar decor and things like 404 00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:22,640 that. So next on the tour on the other 405 00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:27,680 side of the building was a display for hoppers and a lot of 406 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:30,840 the concept art. So with a lot of the older 407 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,480 movies, Toy Story, Bugs Life, cars, all that, all the concept 408 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,960 art was done by hand, pastels, pencil. 409 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:42,240 Now all the concept of art is done on the computer still by 410 00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:46,120 hand, still by they still use like, but it's a digital pencil, 411 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:49,040 much like an Apple pencil, like on an iPad and things like that. 412 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,960 So they do it by hand, but digitally now. 413 00:26:55,000 --> 00:27:05,160 And so this is a model of the, why do they call it in hoppers, 414 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:11,040 the glade, the glade. And so a lot of these, these 415 00:27:11,200 --> 00:27:15,280 areas, these, these moments in the movie, they still make them 416 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,240 by hand. So the, the, the artist who made 417 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:26,400 this physical 3D or not physical model of the Glade is, is the 418 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:31,000 same artist who did the, the, the models for cars. 419 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:36,960 So he's still making for the current movies and everything. 420 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,600 So they do that 'cause they wanna see like, how does it look 421 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:44,000 like in the real world? How can we, you know, model this 422 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,880 in the computer? All these sticks that he used 423 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:50,240 were all sticks gathered on the campus at Pixar. 424 00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,720 On the very top, there is King George. 425 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:59,800 Right there. This this. 426 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:01,680 And a lot of people in our community weren't fans of 427 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,360 hoppers. I know I I, I thought hoppers. 428 00:28:04,360 --> 00:28:06,120 You laughed a lot. I laughed a lot. 429 00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:10,960 I thought it was hilarious. So this is a, this is another 430 00:28:10,960 --> 00:28:15,440 color script. So this is the whole movie on 431 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:18,640 one page. And so by looking at this, so 432 00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,800 you can see like, oh, there's some light scenes, there's some 433 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:26,560 dark scenes and they, they can look at this and say, OK, does 434 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:29,360 it look balanced? Is it, is it too dark? 435 00:28:29,360 --> 00:28:31,520 Is it too light? Are we hitting the moods that 436 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,600 we, that we need to hit there in the script? 437 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:39,840 So they're able to, to look at this and really determine if 438 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,800 there needs to be any adjustments to the story. 439 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:50,640 Did I get so I didn't take a picture of this. 440 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:54,000 So they had a picture, a concept artwork of there. 441 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,400 There's a moment in The Hoppers where the seagulls are carrying 442 00:28:57,400 --> 00:28:58,480 the the white. Great. 443 00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,760 White shark. The shark, Yeah. 444 00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,960 So they actually had to figure out how many seagulls would it 445 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:07,960 take to lift a great white shark. 446 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,560 So they actually did the calculations. 447 00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:15,200 OK. And she she asked me like, how 448 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,840 many seagulls do you think? I said, I don't know, like 200 449 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:22,400 something. It was, it was like 400 450 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,320 something seagulls. And they used that amount of 451 00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:29,200 seagulls in the actual movie. So when you see. 452 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,160 That they actually used that amount of seagulls to carry that 453 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,080 great white shark. Wow, that's funny. 454 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,680 So then we went into Toy Story 5. 455 00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:46,000 There's a lot of concept art about some of the designs sears 456 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:53,400 Buzz and his camo, and so a lot of the the the artwork has notes 457 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:58,240 from the directors and the producers like this one of Buzz 458 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,160 and bunnies where it says not fat just for. 459 00:30:02,640 --> 00:30:04,320 Talking about the Don't make them fat. 460 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:06,320 We don't want fat bunnies. We want. 461 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:13,360 Fluffy bunnies. Here is a physical models of 462 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:17,040 four key and what's the is it knife I? 463 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:21,240 I don't know, I don't know. So they had to do it 'cause they 464 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,720 during the wedding, wedding scene, you know, her veil is 465 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,520 made of toilet paper. Yeah. 466 00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:30,040 So they needed to see, OK, how does toilet paper actually look 467 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,000 and feel? How does it flow? 468 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,040 So that way when they animate it, it looks accurate. 469 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:40,960 I love this one because it's Buzz as a flying toy 'cause, you 470 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,680 know, in the original Toy Story, when he finds out, sees the 471 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,760 commercial of himself, Yeah, this is not a flying toy. 472 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,080 And then he became a drone in five. 473 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,800 Yeah. Pretty good and then he flies in 474 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:57,120 Toy Story 5 and so they actually had to make that buzz. 475 00:30:57,840 --> 00:30:59,880 So they actually made a real buzz and. 476 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,000 That could fly. That could fly like a drone 477 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,200 buzz. A drone buzz. 478 00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:09,920 So that was cool. And then me in front of Toy 479 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:14,600 Story 5 mural. Too bad it's not Toy Story 1. 480 00:31:14,600 --> 00:31:20,520 Two or three. This is a cool art wall where 481 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:24,520 it's all color-coded, so it starts. 482 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,280 Oh, it's video you guys. I'm sorry I can't spoiler. 483 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:33,400 Alert it starts, you know, with the Reds and then. 484 00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,280 Kind of goes Incredibles into the yellows and then greens with 485 00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:43,160 Merida aliens. And some of it is concept art. 486 00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,680 So like, obviously this doesn't that's not how Missus incredible 487 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:50,600 looks, but but yeah, that was cool. 488 00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,320 And then we went outside and got my picture with. 489 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:57,560 What's it, what's his name? Lux. 490 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:04,000 Lux Lux Luxo in front of the building. 491 00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:13,520 And so when I, I was, I was asking her, I was like, I, I 492 00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,600 asked her, you know, how long have you worked at Pixar? 493 00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:18,520 She's only worked there for about four years. 494 00:32:18,960 --> 00:32:24,640 And so I was, I said how how did everybody take it when you when 495 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,800 a Bugs Land had to be taken out for Avengers Campus? 496 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,000 So sad. And she's like, oh, you know, 497 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,640 it's, it's, it was pretty sad. You know, there were a lot of 498 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:40,600 the, the, the, the animators and those who worked on that movie, 499 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,280 you know, they're sad to see that go. 500 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,360 But now we have Pixar Pier and it's all Pixar. 501 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,720 And so we're pretty happy about the representation of the parks 502 00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,640 now. But they have a memento from a 503 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,760 bug's land, which is Heimlich, the Heimlich train. 504 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:03,280 And, and so she let me sit in it and I, I told her, I told her 505 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,920 that my, our, our boys love this ride. 506 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,960 Our oldest boys, I remember.

OK, I remember I was just 509 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:21,800 looking to see if I have the picture on my phone. 510 00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:24,240 You probably have it on my on your phone. 511 00:33:24,720 --> 00:33:26,840 I found this one which breaks you guys. 512 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:30,360 All of them sitting on the and like looking back while on the 513 00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,040 on the train.

They I'll show I'll show the YT. 516 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,160 They literally were just looking at the castle and started like 517 00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:48,200 the the oldest just hugged the little one. 518 00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:54,400 But we have a picture 'cause it was like they were old enough 519 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:59,800 now to sit in front of us on Heimlich's and we sat behind 520 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:03,040 them. And so I have pictures of them 521 00:34:03,040 --> 00:34:05,080 like, 'cause they were like riding their own ride you guys. 522 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,960 And now they go off on their own and ride the big rides 'cause 523 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:16,120 they're teenagers.

And it was just like super old. 532 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,920 And she said those were the original chairs that were in 533 00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:53,159 Walt Disney's office. Get out. 534 00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:02,920 She's bad at me now. The podcast is over. 535 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:09,200 The podcast is over. I don't want to talk to you 536 00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:12,160 anymore about this day. Hang on, we have some questions 537 00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:13,520 that I don't want to forget about. 538 00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:16,880 How old were your kids when you let them go alone in the park? 539 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:20,880 We just recently. Just recently when they have. 540 00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:31,080 When, So when our oldest got a phone, I want to say he was like 541 00:35:31,080 --> 00:35:35,720 14 and then the next one was around 11 or 12. 542 00:35:35,720 --> 00:35:39,000 They're 2 1/2 years apart. So he was either 11 or 12 and I 543 00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:46,560 let them go on. OK, wait, maybe he maybe our 544 00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,800 oldest was 13 or 4. I can't remember. 545 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:50,560 I think he was 13 when we got him a phone. 546 00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:56,240 And I waited outside of Buzz Lightyear and I let them get in 547 00:35:56,240 --> 00:36:01,560 line and then I met them in the in the gift shop where the exit 548 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,840 comes out. So that was like our first 549 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:12,280 little, we're a little more protective than some this last 550 00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:17,040 February. So our oldest was 15 1/2. 551 00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,880 We let them like, OK, you guys can walk over here. 552 00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,280 You guys can. Actually when we were in Disney 553 00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,640 World a year and a half ago when our oldest would have been like 554 00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,680 15, we let him walk somewhere to get some food and come back. 555 00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:36,720 But it was this last trip. So this is a way long answer. 556 00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:38,960 I'm sorry. I go into way too many details 557 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,760 when it comes to my kids that nobody cares about. 558 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:45,920 I want to say like 15 1/2 and 13. 559 00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:49,640 We were like, OK, you guys can go over to Galaxy's Edge, you 560 00:36:49,640 --> 00:36:53,120 can ride the rides there or, you know, whatever they were going 561 00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,880 to, you know, meet us back here when you're done. 562 00:36:57,240 --> 00:36:59,680 We had still have not just been like, hey, yeah, go all 563 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,080 afternoon. It's like, you guys can go over 564 00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,960 to Galaxy's Edge, ride that ride, or you guys can go to 565 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:10,360 Tomorrowland, ride Star Tours, then meet us back here, if that 566 00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:12,200 helps. And then we had another 567 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:14,080 question. Oh, no, we didn't. 568 00:37:14,200 --> 00:37:15,480 Just wait until your babies move out. 569 00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:22,720 Gina by themselves. Our oldest would love to like he 570 00:37:22,720 --> 00:37:25,360 the first time we let him like kind of venture out a little on 571 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,280 his own. Then we go back to the hotel and 572 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:28,880 he's kind of like, can I go back into the park? 573 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:30,680 We were staying at the Disneyland Hotel and we were 574 00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:40,240 like, no, like, so we're we're a little more protective and 575 00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:42,920 strict. We're we're kind of strict 576 00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:46,480 parents. I came from a very non strict 577 00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:51,840 household. I also just even with the last 578 00:37:51,840 --> 00:37:54,520 time when we let them do a few things, I'm like, OK, I totally 579 00:37:54,520 --> 00:37:56,440 get it. Like I'm when I'm a teenager, 580 00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,120 it's hard for me to realize they're teenagers. 581 00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:03,240 OK, of course I'd want to go, but I also don't want them to 582 00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:07,040 just always want to do something apart from us, especially 583 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,840 because our youngest is only 5 that I'm like, OK, I still want 584 00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:13,680 you guys to do things with us as a family because your little 585 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,880 sister is five and. Yeah. 586 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:19,320 No, I'm holding on to them. Yes. 587 00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,640 Oh yes, we track them. Yes, Yeah, we definitely track 588 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,200 them like at all times. And I'm sure the next time we 589 00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,960 go. Well, and so we have a we have 590 00:38:29,960 --> 00:38:35,000 three boys. So right now they are 1613 1/2 591 00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:38,360 and 10 1/2. So the 10 1/2 year old boy 592 00:38:38,360 --> 00:38:41,080 doesn't want to hang out with the five year old sister. 593 00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:46,800 He wants to go with the boys. But do we totally trust them to 594 00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:49,000 keep him? You know, so we have to kind of 595 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:53,600 be careful with like, OK, we trust the oldest 2 to go do some 596 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,960 things more on their own, but we don't trust them to have the 10 597 00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,720 year old the whole time. And then he's going to be upset 598 00:38:59,720 --> 00:39:02,360 because why can't I go? So we kind of have to like be 599 00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,360 balanced. But OK, you guys can go. 600 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,000 You're going to take him. You're going to go do this and 601 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,240 this and this and then come back. 602 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:12,000 And then sometimes times the like last time I remember he 603 00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:14,760 with our 10 year old was kind of like tired and he didn't want to 604 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:16,320 go with them. So then we're like, OK, you guys 605 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:19,440 can go do a little more because they didn't have him. 606 00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:25,320 So we got a lot of kids and we've got the age difference and 607 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,600 yeah, just trust the oldest to babysit a few times. 608 00:39:29,600 --> 00:39:33,640 I wish I could the what? The first time I left him and 609 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,120 let him watch our daughter, I was literally just going. 610 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:40,000 It was before she started school and I was literally just going 611 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:41,400 to pick up the other two from school. 612 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:48,520 And when I came back after like 10 minutes, he was letting her 613 00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:52,960 either watch something or play a video game that I would never 614 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:54,640 let her do. And he was like, well, She 615 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:58,240 asked. I was like I was gone from. 10 616 00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:01,480 She was playing with knives. I put on a movie and I said just 617 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,440 sit here, watch the movie, make sure she's safe. 618 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:07,040 I'll be back in a few minutes. And then she's playing. 619 00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:10,160 I can't remember, but I was like, I was gone. 620 00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:14,040 OK, so anyways, that was a tangent, but there's our 621 00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:15,000 tangent. There's my. 622 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:19,960 So going back to Pixar, went to the next building, which is kind 623 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:24,120 of like the recording studio, other offices, conference rooms. 624 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:30,720 There's lots of like little like details that are cool. 625 00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:33,160 Like they have like the equivalent of hidden hidden 626 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:38,880 Mickeys where they have like different Pixar characters like 627 00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:42,440 like as like Emblems in the floor. 628 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:45,800 They have that at Pixar Pier. Yes, they do. 629 00:40:45,800 --> 00:40:48,400 Yeah, OK. In the in the elevator, No, no, 630 00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,520 no. They had it in the carpet, but 631 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:51,960 they had them in a in the elevator. 632 00:40:51,960 --> 00:40:53,640 They have a different character in each elevator. 633 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:59,040 And this, this building, you walk in and there's a cool 634 00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:04,000 portrait of Bo Peep. So this is one of their, this is 635 00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:06,960 one of their, their theaters behind this this wall. 636 00:41:07,240 --> 00:41:13,880 But like if you look at the design above the the door, what 637 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,200 is that? Can you figure out what that 638 00:41:16,360 --> 00:41:17,040 design is? It's. 639 00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:22,560 The lamp it. Is it's the lamp, It looks like 640 00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:25,560 like a sideways play button, but you can see like here's the base 641 00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:26,680 and it goes up. Oh. 642 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:29,800 Yeah, then. Then it's just like repeats, 643 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:32,280 like in reverse. So I thought that was cool. 644 00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:36,240 That's cool. Inside out characters. 645 00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:38,640 Since I don't like anxiety, we were just having, we had a whole 646 00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:42,040 discussion the other day on my life about, well, we were just 647 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,400 going through all the Pixar movies and I was saying that I 648 00:41:44,400 --> 00:41:46,760 like inside out way better than Inside Out too. 649 00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:50,560 And I think they did a fantastic job showing anxiety. 650 00:41:50,720 --> 00:41:54,040 But I already have enough hang on. 651 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,040 I already have enough of it that I don't like watching it. 652 00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,640 Like I don't like I can't watch the character of anxiety and 653 00:42:00,640 --> 00:42:02,960 just like be like, oh, like I'm like. 654 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:06,320 You get anxious. I get anxious and I'm like I 655 00:42:06,320 --> 00:42:09,440 already have enough of that I don't need it now. 656 00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,680 OK, so and also I didn't totally. 657 00:42:15,720 --> 00:42:20,760 I don't feel like they I don't feel like they showed envy very 658 00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:21,920 well. I don't feel like that came 659 00:42:21,920 --> 00:42:25,680 across in that character yes, anxiety is speaking to my 660 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:27,720 anxiety. I have anxiety I have since I 661 00:42:27,720 --> 00:42:30,720 was little and I know I don't need to watch a cartoon about 662 00:42:30,720 --> 00:42:33,560 it. OK, so here's the inside out 663 00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:37,560 characters. Sorry, it's kind of the color is 664 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,000 not coming through, but this the. 665 00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:42,760 Incredible. Jack, Jack, Jack, Jack. 666 00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,200 Yeah, I I love the Cars and the Incredibles. 667 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,960 I can't pick a favorite Pixar, but Cars and the Incredibles are 668 00:42:51,120 --> 00:42:55,760 up there. I love Jack Jack so much. 669 00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,040 And then moving on, I went went to their awards case with some 670 00:43:01,040 --> 00:43:04,560 Oscars, spent some time with Mr. Oscar himself. 671 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:10,000 So that was cool to see one of those in person. 672 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000 Yes, I do sorry I'm just commenting on someone on on 673 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:17,280 TikTok. I do think that they they showed 674 00:43:17,280 --> 00:43:21,880 it very well and the and the way and my heart like whose heart 675 00:43:21,880 --> 00:43:24,920 wasn't just breaking like for Riley, like when she's in the 676 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:30,040 box, you know, but all leading up to that, I'm just like, I'm, 677 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,760 I'm not enjoying watching this. We're like, most of the time 678 00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,120 when I'm watching Pixar, I'm enjoying it and I'm like, I, I'm 679 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:42,960 not, I don't, it's, it's giving me anxiety and I'm feeling like 680 00:43:42,960 --> 00:43:47,240 I'm giving my anxiety to my kid. And Riley's not my kid, but they 681 00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:51,440 did a great job. I just would rather watch Inside 682 00:43:51,440 --> 00:43:57,680 Out than Inside Out too. Moving on, this is one of the 683 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:04,440 secret rooms. So this the, the, the campus, 684 00:44:04,440 --> 00:44:06,440 the Pixar campus was built, you see. 685 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:08,560 The reflection of our sign on here. 686 00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,000 They do not have a Main St. Dreamer sign in their secret 687 00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:14,480 room, but that'd be cool. You should have left them some 688 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:17,840 stickers I. Should have it. 689 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:21,160 It was behind a fireplace. And there's just like this. 690 00:44:21,200 --> 00:44:27,840 Door that goes in and this room is baseball themed because the, 691 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:31,840 the campus they they built it was on a former baseball field 692 00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:37,160 for the minor league team, the Emeryville Oaks that played 693 00:44:37,240 --> 00:44:38,880 there. So they, there's kind of a 694 00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:43,680 homage to that team. They this used to be a secret 695 00:44:43,680 --> 00:44:46,120 room, but people kept getting stuck in it. 696 00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,640 And so now they just leave the door open because people kept 697 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:55,240 getting stuck. So, so that now they're able to 698 00:44:55,240 --> 00:44:57,160 show, you know, people the secret room. 699 00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:03,200 So, and then this is one of the staircases that's bottled after 700 00:45:03,200 --> 00:45:09,000 Seoul. So And so a lot of the employees 701 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:12,840 at Pixar are obviously very talented artists and a lot of 702 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,560 them play music. And so they have a battle of the 703 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:18,280 bands at Pixar. Oh my gosh, that's awesome. 704 00:45:18,560 --> 00:45:24,040 And so a lot, some of the the bands, they actually come down 705 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,720 here and play. So the, the acoustics are really 706 00:45:27,720 --> 00:45:30,040 good right here. And so you, they'll come down 707 00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:32,600 here, they'll rehearse, and it like fills the hallways. 708 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:38,880 With the music that they play. And so this in the same 709 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,440 building, it was their recording studio. 710 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,960 And so whenever someone records in the recording studio, they 711 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:50,400 signed the wall. So this is Owen Wilson, who 712 00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:53,320 obviously voiced Lightning McQueen. 713 00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:56,960 And so we we spit. Probably we. 714 00:45:56,960 --> 00:45:59,680 Probably. Won't be able to see but. 1520 715 00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:02,720 minutes in here just seeing who we can find. 716 00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:10,440 Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks, my favorite person. 717 00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:13,800 When he's he signed for Toy Story 3. 718 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:19,360 'Cause he probably was like, I'm done, I'm done with this, right? 719 00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,960 So it's Tom Hanks. And that was it. 720 00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:27,800 That was the end of the tour. And then after that went into 721 00:46:28,240 --> 00:46:31,520 the employee store and then I went in there and said I have no 722 00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:33,640 idea what you're going to want. I kind of knew. 723 00:46:33,640 --> 00:46:36,560 So you Facetimed me and I had no idea what I wanted and then I 724 00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:40,600 got in a bad mood. Yeah, look, 'cause I was like. 725 00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:42,720 Hey, at least I'm honest. I'm really you guys. 726 00:46:42,720 --> 00:46:45,000 I got in a bad mood and I was not nice. 727 00:46:45,640 --> 00:46:49,000 I wasn't nice. Kathy, Kathy, who was my tour 728 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:54,240 guide, she's like, I always, I always suggest doing a FaceTime. 729 00:46:54,960 --> 00:47:00,880 So that's why I Facetimed you and and so I didn't tell you 730 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,800 this, but like going to I knew. When I went there, are you gonna 731 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:05,800 make me feel worse? No, I'm not gonna make you feel 732 00:47:05,800 --> 00:47:09,160 worse. I just knew she had a short 733 00:47:09,160 --> 00:47:10,840 amount of time. So you are gonna feel. 734 00:47:11,200 --> 00:47:11,760 Worse. No. 735 00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:14,760 So. So that's what she she. 736 00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:18,040 So after Facetiming for you a little bit, she tapped my 737 00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:19,800 shoulder and said, hey, I got to go. 738 00:47:20,160 --> 00:47:23,040 It was great to meet you. And then I told you I was like, 739 00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:27,840 oh, my tour guide's leaving and I can't, I can't be there 740 00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,720 without someone being there with me. 741 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:38,240 And so and so that's when I told you and then you got upset. 742 00:47:39,080 --> 00:47:40,920 OK, that sounds, that sounds bad. 743 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:45,560 I just, I felt the pressure and then I felt the pressure and 744 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:48,240 then you had to go and I was just like, I don't know, just 745 00:47:48,240 --> 00:47:51,680 get whatever like I was. I know I didn't. 746 00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:53,160 I didn't mean to make a sound like that. 747 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:55,960 But yeah, it was a lot of pressure because I I didn't know 748 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:57,440 what I wanted either. I was. 749 00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:04,160 Also tired and sick of the kids. And so, but because you wanted 750 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,560 there was a missus incredible shirt it. 751 00:48:06,600 --> 00:48:10,120 Was really cool. But the sizes were weird because 752 00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,640 they were like, it wasn't just like a unisex shirt, it was a, 753 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,880 it was a women's cut shirt. Also, when when you finally held 754 00:48:17,880 --> 00:48:20,640 it up, the picture of misses incredible, like I thought it 755 00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:24,080 was bigger and because it was just a black shirt with like 756 00:48:24,080 --> 00:48:27,320 this white outline of Misses Incredible and I love misses 757 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,840 Incredible, but it was actually pretty small. 758 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,680 Like when you held it up, the picture of Missus incredible was 759 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,120 kind of small. I was like, oh, OK, That's when 760 00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,360 I changed my mind because I was kind of like, oh, I thought it 761 00:48:37,360 --> 00:48:39,720 was like missus incredible on the shirt, but it was just kind 762 00:48:39,720 --> 00:48:40,840 of small. And I was like. 763 00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,720 And then there was an Aliens from Toy Story. 764 00:48:44,800 --> 00:48:49,760 There was a lot like there were so there were so many shirts and 765 00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,880 I was just like. And this isn't just shirts from 766 00:48:51,880 --> 00:48:52,880 like the parks. This is. 767 00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:55,840 Yeah. This is stuff that's only at. 768 00:48:57,800 --> 00:49:01,200 So I felt like, OK, like when are you going to go again? 769 00:49:01,200 --> 00:49:03,760 Maybe never. And I'm like, OK, I want like a 770 00:49:03,920 --> 00:49:07,080 like what Pixar shirt do I want? What's my favorite Pixar? 771 00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,400 I don't have a favorite Pixar. And then you showed me one of 772 00:49:09,400 --> 00:49:12,360 Jessie and Bullseye and I don't typical. 773 00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,720 I love bullseye. I've loved Bullseye since day 774 00:49:14,720 --> 00:49:17,160 one. I am I'm not a fan of Jessie. 775 00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:27,360 I like her probably the most in the in five actually, but I'm 776 00:49:27,880 --> 00:49:30,360 but I still I'm not, I'm not the biggest fan of Jesse. 777 00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,800 Her story is sad. I I I do like Toy Story 5, but 778 00:49:33,800 --> 00:49:36,960 the picture was really pretty. Like the art was really pretty. 779 00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:40,480 It was like, it was like it was hand drawn and it was like Jesse 780 00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,240 and bullseye like head to head and it was just a really sweet 781 00:49:43,240 --> 00:49:44,640 picture. And I was like, do I want that? 782 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,680 But I'm don't really like Jesse that much. 783 00:49:46,680 --> 00:49:50,440 But I was putting way too much thought into it. 784 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:54,880 Like most things, I was putting way too much thought into it. 785 00:49:54,960 --> 00:49:57,760 But there was a Aliens shirt that you liked, but they didn't 786 00:49:57,760 --> 00:50:00,040 have your size. And so after I hung out with 787 00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,720 you, I asked the employee who was working the stores. 788 00:50:02,720 --> 00:50:04,200 I hate you happen to have a medium this. 789 00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:06,080 And she did. Which I probably could have done 790 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:07,720 a small 'cause it's pretty big, but you know. 791 00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:16,080 And so got a couple shirts, yeah, stickers, magnets. 792 00:50:16,160 --> 00:50:22,480 Got a pen that says Pixar? But but yeah, that was pretty 793 00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:25,760 much it. It was cool to be there, to see 794 00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:30,280 it in person. Love to go again, love to take 795 00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:32,880 you. I would love to go, but I'm at 796 00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,160 least and you, you wouldn't do this without me. 797 00:50:35,160 --> 00:50:42,640 What I want to do in the San Francisco area, what is the 798 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:47,120 Disney Family Museum? Yes, that is something I've 799 00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:49,360 always wanted to do and you would not do I. 800 00:50:49,360 --> 00:50:52,440 Would not do that without you. And that's not actually owned by 801 00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:56,160 Disney. So that's a that's a separate, 802 00:50:56,280 --> 00:51:02,120 it's owned by the Disney family. And so, but yeah, definitely 803 00:51:02,120 --> 00:51:06,920 wanna do that for sure. Yeah, well, I don't know if we 804 00:51:07,720 --> 00:51:11,720 Oh yeah, OK to real quick tell Jamie about the way MO 805 00:51:11,720 --> 00:51:13,920 experience. Oh, yeah. 806 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:22,480 So the day before I was in San Francisco and I hate driving in 807 00:51:22,480 --> 00:51:24,160 San Francisco. I like, I hate it. 808 00:51:24,280 --> 00:51:25,360 I hate it. I hate it. 809 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:28,720 I hate it. I have PTSD from years ago where 810 00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:31,640 I got lost. And yeah. 811 00:51:33,240 --> 00:51:37,800 And so I wanted to get there's a Nintendo store, so I wanted to 812 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:39,560 get some stuff for the for the kids. 813 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:44,880 And so I took a Waymo to Nintendo store from the hotel 814 00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:47,520 and if. You don't know what a Waymo is. 815 00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:50,080 It's a self driving car. It's like a Uber but self 816 00:51:50,080 --> 00:51:51,800 driving. So you don't have a person in a 817 00:51:51,800 --> 00:51:54,680 driving? So it's a it's a Uber that's 818 00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:57,200 driven by itself with no human driver. 819 00:51:58,040 --> 00:52:00,280 So weird. And they're all over San 820 00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,640 Francisco. You drive through or walk 821 00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,880 through the city, They're everywhere. 822 00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:09,480 And I saw way more waymos than I know. 823 00:52:09,480 --> 00:52:15,440 It's a weird thing to say. Way more waymos than actual like 824 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:20,720 Ubers and Lyfts. Way more waymos. 825 00:52:21,240 --> 00:52:23,520 And everyone I talk to is like, oh, you take away MO. 826 00:52:23,520 --> 00:52:25,800 There's so much better take away MO. 827 00:52:28,120 --> 00:52:30,600 Like the the like like coworkers they. 828 00:52:30,720 --> 00:52:33,600 Called Waymos Take away take away MO. 829 00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:38,720 But yeah. But really, why are they called 830 00:52:38,720 --> 00:52:41,200 that? I don't know, it's probably 831 00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:48,680 short for something. Way MO gasoline MO time, way MO 832 00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,760 freedom. Way MO Freedom, that's what it 833 00:52:51,760 --> 00:52:59,920 is. Why are they called Way MO? 834 00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:03,400 Yes. The name. 835 00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:07,000 Contractor. Way and MO for mobility. 836 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:11,640 Way MO mobility. A new way forward and mobility. 837 00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:16,400 That's what it's named. I'm approving these. 838 00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,640 I don't know if they are because it's it's filtering like almost 839 00:53:19,720 --> 00:53:21,920 like it's filtering a lot of comments. 840 00:53:21,920 --> 00:53:24,120 I don't know if they're coming through that I approve them. 841 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:29,800 So, yeah, so I took a way MO from the hotel to the Nintendo 842 00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:33,200 store and it was awesome. It was you. 843 00:53:33,440 --> 00:53:36,000 It's like you. It's like if you ever use Uber, 844 00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,200 it's the works the exact same way. 845 00:53:38,200 --> 00:53:42,160 You pull up the app, you say where you want to go and then 846 00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:46,440 you say book ride and then it finds the nearest one to near 847 00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:52,560 you that doesn't have a a person in it or is dropping somebody 848 00:53:52,560 --> 00:53:56,040 off. And it tells you the license 849 00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:57,840 plate number, so you know which one it is. 850 00:53:58,120 --> 00:54:02,000 And then once it pulls up, it has your initials on the screen. 851 00:54:02,760 --> 00:54:07,360 So that way you know it's yours. And then as you walk up to it, 852 00:54:07,360 --> 00:54:12,200 it unlocks and you just get in. And then it starts talking to 853 00:54:12,200 --> 00:54:15,080 you like, hey, welcome. And it knew that was my first 854 00:54:15,080 --> 00:54:16,680 drive. So it gave me like instructions, 855 00:54:16,680 --> 00:54:20,720 like, OK, buckle up. Don't try to get out while 856 00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:26,520 driving. Don't jump ship, it's OK. 857 00:54:26,560 --> 00:54:29,560 And then shows you like, here's how you change the climate, 858 00:54:29,560 --> 00:54:31,840 here's how you can connect your Spotify. 859 00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,920 And like, you can control like you, you sit in the back, you 860 00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:39,440 don't sit, you can't sit in the front. 861 00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:41,360 No one can sit in the driver's seat. 862 00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:44,080 Oh, you can sit in the. Front you can. 863 00:54:44,200 --> 00:54:47,160 Sit in the front passenger. You can't sit in the driver's 864 00:54:47,160 --> 00:54:49,280 seat. OK, so they have two different 865 00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:52,320 versions. They have the Jaguar SUV which 866 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:55,440 folds up the four people, and then they have a new one that's 867 00:54:55,440 --> 00:54:57,640 like kind of like a van. It's like a futuristic looking 868 00:54:57,640 --> 00:55:00,400 van. It looks like AVW bus. 869 00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:02,680 Oh, like the new like my sister has. 870 00:55:02,680 --> 00:55:05,360 Yeah, OK. But a little bit smaller and so 871 00:55:05,360 --> 00:55:07,880 that can hold more people. My sister has one of those you 872 00:55:07,880 --> 00:55:10,200 guys and just as a side note, when you drive in it, I was 873 00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,760 driving with her and like people stare at you, like you can see 874 00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:17,160 people driving on the opposite side and just be like it's kind 875 00:55:17,160 --> 00:55:17,800 of fun. Yeah. 876 00:55:18,800 --> 00:55:23,200 So that one holds a little bit more, but yeah, it was, it was 877 00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,280 cool. And I mean, it has all the 878 00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:29,480 sensors around it, so it knows when people are like, if you 879 00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:32,160 ever tried to drive in San Francisco, it's like chaos. 880 00:55:32,440 --> 00:55:34,800 People don't wait for the crosswalk. 881 00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:38,040 They just walk wherever they want cars going wherever. 882 00:55:38,560 --> 00:55:41,040 This is Jamie says. This is not Tiana's house, 883 00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:46,360 please stay inside. There was pull, the level, the 884 00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,560 yellow tap. When I was leaving the, the, the 885 00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:54,240 Nintendo store, you know, 'cause it pulls over and I mean, 886 00:55:54,240 --> 00:55:57,320 there's no shoulders in San Francisco. 887 00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:00,080 It's like either turn lanes or you're in the middle of the lane 888 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:01,560 and you have to like get in real quick. 889 00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:05,680 And so it pulled over into a right turn lane. 890 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:12,760 And so I got in and then people just started turning right, like 891 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:15,920 they would go in the left lane to turn right to. 892 00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:19,040 Get around you to. Get around me even though I had 893 00:56:19,040 --> 00:56:21,880 the blinker on. I mean, I didn't, the car did. 894 00:56:22,440 --> 00:56:26,000 The way MO did. And there it, it was trying to 895 00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:29,360 like turn, but the cars kept going around it so it wouldn't 896 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:30,920 move. And then there was pedestrians. 897 00:56:30,920 --> 00:56:33,720 And so they, I sat there for like 10 minutes trying to turn. 898 00:56:34,920 --> 00:56:38,040 And well, everyone else, like my coworkers who live in the city, 899 00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,760 they said like, Oh yeah, way MO's are super aggressive. 900 00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:44,320 You have to watch out for them. And like the one that I was in, 901 00:56:44,320 --> 00:56:45,960 I was like, it wasn't aggressive enough. 902 00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:48,640 And so it was kind of funny, but I loved it. 903 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,880 I thought it was really cool because I hate taking Ubers 904 00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:53,680 because I hate talking to people. 905 00:56:54,720 --> 00:56:55,680 And it's. True you guys. 906 00:56:55,720 --> 00:56:57,320 He really doesn't like talking to people. 907 00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:59,800 I don't like taking Ubers because I don't feel safe. 908 00:56:59,920 --> 00:57:01,920 If I'm by myself, I will not take an Uber. 909 00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:07,480 But it, it navigated the streets super well and I didn't feel 910 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,360 like like, Oh my gosh, that was a close call. 911 00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:14,440 It was like, I'd be like, why are we slowing down or And then 912 00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:18,080 a car would come around, 'cause it has sensors all the way 913 00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:19,520 around it so it can see everything. 914 00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:25,280 So you could say that is safer than a human driver because it 915 00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,160 has 360 vision where a human driver doesn't. 916 00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:31,960 It's, it's true. It's just I don't know. 917 00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:35,320 I don't know. But I liked it, it was cheaper 918 00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:41,000 than a Uber so because you don't have to pay a human driver or 919 00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:42,840 tip them. Because yeah, oh, that makes 920 00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:43,480 sense. That makes sense. 921 00:57:43,480 --> 00:57:48,720 So it was like, it was like 10 bucks, so it wasn't that. 922 00:57:48,720 --> 00:57:53,240 Much I I would say like even though I have control issues, so 923 00:57:53,240 --> 00:58:01,920 it would be very difficult for me, at the same time I would 924 00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:10,200 feel safe for, I think like I remember one time you and I was 925 00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,520 flying, I was going to the airport you and I were in. 926 00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,160 We were out of, I was flying out of Sacramento. 927 00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,440 We did not live in Sacramento, but I was flying out of there. 928 00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:25,360 So I had to take an Uber to the airport 'cause you were, you 929 00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:27,600 took the train. I took the train home. 930 00:58:27,600 --> 00:58:29,760 Who? Took us there anyways. 931 00:58:30,560 --> 00:58:31,600 We rented a car. We. 932 00:58:31,800 --> 00:58:33,480 Rented a car. We rented a car. 933 00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,600 We went and saw Michael Bublé and then I was flying. 934 00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:37,680 I don't know why we did it this way. 935 00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:41,560 I was flying. You're flying in new. 936 00:58:41,560 --> 00:58:42,640 York. I was flying to New York. 937 00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,360 So anyways, from wherever we were, I took an Uber to the 938 00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,120 airport. But I was very nervous. 939 00:58:48,040 --> 00:58:50,120 I mean, I'm a woman. Yeah. 940 00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:52,840 We won't go into all the issues there, but I'm a woman. 941 00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:56,000 So taking an Uber by myself, I'm nervous like you like were like 942 00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:00,120 what you take you've taken tons of Ubers by yourself and I'm 943 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:01,680 like, no, I don't want to take an Uber by myself. 944 00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:07,040 So we, I think we requested a woman, but it wasn't a woman, it 945 00:59:07,040 --> 00:59:10,880 was a man. But you were tracking me and I 946 00:59:10,880 --> 00:59:13,000 like text you like I was like pretending. 947 00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:14,920 I think I did talk to you. I think I called you or 948 00:59:14,920 --> 00:59:20,960 something on the way. So I would feel safer doing away 949 00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:25,720 MO if I ever had, you know, if I was going to do an Uber again, 950 00:59:25,720 --> 00:59:29,000 because to me, I'm as a woman, I'm just like if it comes to 951 00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,040 taking an Uber by myself, I'm just like, no, I'm not no like 952 00:59:32,040 --> 00:59:39,240 to for me. So I would I would feel safer. 953 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,560 So that was my trip to Pixar. There you go. 954 00:59:44,560 --> 00:59:47,440 That was it. Do we want to do our lightning 955 00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,720 round or I think. We should at least do the 956 00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:52,560 lightning round.

If it's like you need to do it 1077 01:07:15,880 --> 01:07:18,040 every time, overrated. Don't do it every time. 1078 01:07:18,600 --> 01:07:20,320 Crazy. Expensive, but it's so 1079 01:07:20,320 --> 01:07:24,360 expensive. But we have done it well, If you 1080 01:07:24,360 --> 01:07:26,720 count beauty in the Be our guest. 1081 01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:29,720 Is that considered character dining? 1082 01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,880 I think so. I think isn't Be Our Guest 1083 01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:35,040 considered character dining? I don't know. 1084 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,000 It's very late for our East Coast friends. 1085 01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:42,320 They might not be here anymore. Jamie, I think it is, but it's 1086 01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:47,400 Be our guest. I don't understand why Belle 1087 01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:49,440 doesn't walk around. If you don't know Be our guest. 1088 01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:53,960 It is beautiful. Well, we also went during COVID. 1089 01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:56,760 We went during COVID. I no, Belle doesn't go though. 1090 01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:58,480 It's just the Beast. Just the beast. 1091 01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,800 Well, it's Beast Castle, so it's his castle. 1092 01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:07,040 But she's the like I and and and we had had a day I hadn't slept 1093 01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:10,240 in a few days. I'd gotten I'd gotten very 1094 01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:13,600 little sleep in the in few days before that because it was our 1095 01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:16,279 first day on our first Disney World trip. 1096 01:08:16,279 --> 01:08:17,920 Our youngest was only nine months old. 1097 01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:21,439 It was still during COVID. So at the point where we got 1098 01:08:21,439 --> 01:08:24,399 there and we were sitting down, like I just remember she was 1099 01:08:24,399 --> 01:08:26,120 kind of upset. I think our five year old at the 1100 01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,359 time was kind of upset. I don't really remember the 1101 01:08:28,359 --> 01:08:31,520 food. It was gorgeous. 1102 01:08:32,319 --> 01:08:33,840 I don't really remember the food. 1103 01:08:34,080 --> 01:08:36,960 I hear different opinions on that, whether it's overrated or 1104 01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:39,800 underrated, so we'll just take out Be our guest. 1105 01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,720 The two that we have done that are like character dining is 1106 01:08:43,920 --> 01:08:49,080 Cape May and Disney World and Storytellers Cafe in Disneyland 1107 01:08:49,080 --> 01:08:52,560 at the Grand Californian. We loved both of them. 1108 01:08:53,200 --> 01:08:55,640 The food I love breakfast food is my favorite food. 1109 01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:03,560 So good at both so good and the characters coming up. 1110 01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:08,680 Like you don't have to wait in line forever and ever for like 2 1111 01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:12,200 seconds of the characters. The characters come to you while 1112 01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:17,399 and your kids while you're enjoying your food and it's 1113 01:09:17,399 --> 01:09:19,920 feels more personal. Yeah, they spend time with you. 1114 01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,520 They. Spend a little time like, I 1115 01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,240 don't, I can't remember if it was Chip or Dale, like pretended 1116 01:09:25,240 --> 01:09:28,200 to like steal our son's waffles and they're like making him 1117 01:09:28,200 --> 01:09:32,399 laugh and like bit in his hat and like, it's expensive. 1118 01:09:32,399 --> 01:09:34,760 It's a splurge. Are we going to do it every 1119 01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:35,960 trip? Absolutely not. 1120 01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:39,439 We've done it a couple of times in the 16 years of taking kids. 1121 01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,960 We've done it twice and both times it was great. 1122 01:09:43,680 --> 01:09:46,680 I love, I just love Donald at Cape May. 1123 01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:48,680 Oh, Donald at Cape May was hilarious. 1124 01:09:48,680 --> 01:09:52,080 He was like a grumpy old man and wanted to make sure that 1125 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:57,200 everyone knew that he was #1. Right, everyone wants Belle. 1126 01:09:57,200 --> 01:10:03,560 So like, why is it Beast? I know I I do like it is crazy 1127 01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,920 priced. No, no, no, no Roundup Rodeo is 1128 01:10:07,920 --> 01:10:09,920 not character 'cause there's no character. 1129 01:10:09,920 --> 01:10:12,400 But it's good food. It is good food. 1130 01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:15,000 Need to do. That again, when we're hungry. 1131 01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:18,400 Yeah, we had kids that were getting over being sick and none 1132 01:10:18,400 --> 01:10:25,440 of them were hungry. But so I said appropriately 1133 01:10:25,440 --> 01:10:31,280 rated because I do feel like it's popular, but I just want to 1134 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:33,160 explain it because if it's something you feel like you have 1135 01:10:33,160 --> 01:10:37,520 to do, if you go more than once in a lifetime, you do not have 1136 01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,160 to do it every trip. But like, we didn't. 1137 01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:43,320 Our first character dining was in Disney World. 1138 01:10:43,560 --> 01:10:48,640 We had gone to Disneyland together as parents for 14 years 1139 01:10:48,640 --> 01:10:51,880 before we ever did a character breakfast or dining. 1140 01:10:52,720 --> 01:10:59,200 So we never did it if, but like if you can swing it and splurge 1141 01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:02,360 like at least the ones we have done, which are Cape May and 1142 01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:05,960 Disney World, which is at the Beach Club and Storyteller's 1143 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:09,440 Cafe at the Grand Californian in Disneyland Resort. 1144 01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,360 Both were in our opinions. Both were great because I've 1145 01:11:12,360 --> 01:11:16,360 heard different opinions about Cinderella's royal table that's 1146 01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:20,560 in the castle at Disneyland. I always hear that breakfast is 1147 01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,560 better than dinner. Well, because breakfast is 1148 01:11:23,560 --> 01:11:25,520 better over dinner. And you know what? 1149 01:11:25,520 --> 01:11:28,360 It's just period. Breakfast food is the best food 1150 01:11:28,360 --> 01:11:30,960 ever. Period. 1151 01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:38,720 People are idiots, Leslie. What's that from anyways? 1152 01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:41,800 All right. I just wanted to explain my 1153 01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:42,960 answer a little bit. There you go. 1154 01:11:43,400 --> 01:11:46,920 Because I don't want people to feel like, Oh my gosh, it's very 1155 01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:50,120 expensive. Like Tim didn't even tell me. 1156 01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:53,600 Tim didn't even tell me. Yeah. 1157 01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:57,080 It's breakfast for dinner. I love. 1158 01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:58,880 I don't know how people pay full price for that. 1159 01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:01,560 I I don't know how they did it. I was like. 1160 01:12:02,800 --> 01:12:05,240 It's crazy. We do have like a million kids. 1161 01:12:05,480 --> 01:12:09,840 Also a little tip little tip if you're local, somewhat local. 1162 01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,880 OK so we are somewhat local. We live 4 hours from Disneyland 1163 01:12:14,040 --> 01:12:20,240 ish with there's no traffic we and we have a pass so we always 1164 01:12:20,240 --> 01:12:22,960 would go in the morning. Our last day we'd like do 1/2 1165 01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:25,240 day and then drive home. But I was always in a bad mood. 1166 01:12:26,880 --> 01:12:30,160 I don't want to leave, I don't want to go back to real life and 1167 01:12:30,520 --> 01:12:32,800 I don't care. Whatever Disney adults you will 1168 01:12:32,800 --> 01:12:34,600 get it. I'd be in a bad mood and I want 1169 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:38,440 to want to go home. Our last It wasn't our last trip 1170 01:12:38,440 --> 01:12:42,400 but our trip in February. Our last like biggish trip, 1171 01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:48,280 instead of going into the park, that's just going to make me 1172 01:12:48,280 --> 01:12:50,800 sad. Instead, we didn't go into the 1173 01:12:50,800 --> 01:12:52,680 park at all. We did the character breakfast 1174 01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:58,320 and we left from there. And it helped me because I got 1175 01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:00,000 my well, I got an amazing breakfast. 1176 01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,120 I got my characters, I got my little Disney. 1177 01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:05,440 I was at the Grand Californian. I got my like Disney fix, but I 1178 01:13:05,440 --> 01:13:08,560 didn't go into the park and not want to leave. 1179 01:13:08,640 --> 01:13:12,720 It was an expensive thing we can't do every time just to deal 1180 01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:17,280 with my Disney Blues, but there's a very expensive tip for 1181 01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:20,040 you there.
