Oh man, I don't know if I would ever play that again. It's amazing how much strength and stamina you need to kick a ball that far for that long. I went with a Scottish friend, who's a long time recreational soccer player. Even he complained about muscles hurting that he didn't know were there

 

[rteetz]

Not surprised on Lasseter. Quietly leaves the company at the end of the year.

 

[MichiganScott]

Not sure why he doesn't leave like...now.

 

[rteetz]

Not sure why he doesn't leave like...now.

Well I’m sure they worked out a deal with his existing contract. As @skier_pete has said several times there are clauses within contracts and maybe he didn’t want to leave which complicated things.

 

[MichiganScott]

Oh, I'm sure you're absolutely right. Then again, I bet Roseanne didn't want to leave either Anyway, don't want to off topic too much Ryan, all done!

Well they are still dealing with contract stuff with roseanne as well and they are trying to bring the show back without her but because she is co-creator she would still get residuals and stuff like that - so actually a good example of how fully getting rid of the founder, etc of something can be challenging

 

[Farro]

Glad to hear about Lasseter.

I have sads tonight because work was rough today and I can't go back to Disney until 2020... quietly feeling sorry for myself.
