“Release a shark in Disneyland” The slight smirk Melissa had at that line was amazing

My son is a hugger. He will gladly hug any random person for no real reason at all. This is especially true for Disney Princesses. We had to peel him off a few when we visited Disney. And no, they didn't let go until he did.

I know the lateral RU-vid channel doesn't get the kind of views that Tom's other work does, but I'm so glad that the team have figured out the best format for this platform by having single question videos!

@ilyaholt8607 7 месяцев назад

I'm actually curious if the podcast itself gets more views (listens?) than these outtakes. I personally prefer to have the shorter videos with the added visual from face cams.

@JakeLaMtn 7 месяцев назад

if they didn't post so many videos on the youtube i'd listen to the podcasts. As it is now, it seems there's only like 1 or 2 questions per episode that don't make the cut, so trying to listen and skip through is a real pain.

@empath69 7 месяцев назад

My guess was thrown out almost immediately, and I puzzled over it, but the answer makes perfect sense. Great one!

@donaldoconner 7 месяцев назад

This is not technically a rule. It’s a guideline but not a rule. Tom’s factoid at the end is real but also that happens with character performers on their training shifts. If you ever see a character next to a random wall or gate, they are having their first outing. They are near a door so they can escape quickly if something goes wrong

@lohphat 7 месяцев назад

All "character sets" have a supervisor nearby observing, unless one of the characters is a "face character" e.g. Alice or Mary Poppins or Peter Pan, so someone with unobstructed vision has a wide-angle view of the situation and make sure cast members wearing heads with obstructed vision aren't ambushed from behind/side where they can't see it coming. I used to work at DL and have friends with permanent injuries due to these type of accidents.

@sophiamarchildon3998 7 месяцев назад

Initial thoughts: I went straight to nuclear weapon usage: trained occupation, specialised role, highly-limited locations, ... military commanders of ICBM sites and Air Force bases for land, and SSBN/SLBM for sea. And "letting go first" would mean "striking first with such weapons"; (well except that one time in Japan... long story...).

@sophiamarchildon3998 7 месяцев назад

2:20 : Nothing to do with safety..., and no direct remarks on the military aspect... . It seems my nukes guess is astray. As Geralt would say: "Hmmph..."

@sophiamarchildon3998 7 месяцев назад

5:25 Don't start laughing, or break character, first in a performance group? Don't break improv or 4th wall. And the locations are the "stages" all over the world? But that feels way too vague and generic.
