Today's Dis Unplugged Universal Edition

[samsteele]

Great show today! Perfect group chemistry, fun podcast & banter, lighthearted tone and you can tell that the Universal gang is really getting into their groove. I enjoyed the Leaky Cauldron lunch review. I haven't had the chance to try it yet but now its on my radar. Kudos to Craig, JL, Ryno & Dustin. Ryno was definitely loose (in a good way ) & charming. Upbeat & great show! Thanks for your hard work!

But a good enigma? Right?

I didn't say that,he sort of rude.He doesn't have charisma like Dustin has.

I think that anyone who thinks craig is rude, doesn't "get" his humour.
He's fantistic.
What a great show!!!
I love that they used Siri during the show!!!

Since when does "charisma" decide chemistry between two people? I'm charismatic when I have the energy and really care about something. I'm not going to fake it. As Princess Jes pointed out, I'm sarcastic. I'm really good friends with Ryno and we joke around. He knows I'm not being serious. If I was being serious do you think we'd be doing what we do?

What baffles me here is on another thread, I think this same person mentioned that she misses Shaun... I think your relationship with Ryno comes across very similar to that with Shaun (I've been re listening to last year's Universal podcasts)
It's jovial, mock picking on him, sarcastic, dry, and most of all, slap my leg, cry laughing funny!
To the point that I was listening to this week's show while driving to work and it's lucky that I was stopped at a red light during the Siri secrion because I couldn't see from tears!
Maybe ryno needs to have a bob moment and clear the air on the show to say that it is a joke and it's not serious...?
I don't think it's necessary, anyone who has listened to the show knows you're not serious, but maybe for those who don't get sarcasm and dry wit, they need a circle of paper in the leg up class?

Well, the Australians & Canadians love Craig's sense of humour & get it. Hey, that's the best of the world's south & north hemis now in Craig's fan club

I think I may need that circle of paper What does this mean? I'm guessing its like a training pad when housebreaking puppies? Maybe? Man, I haven't had enough coffee this morning . . . or maybe I've had too much Whatever it is, its funnier than all get out.

Aussies are the masters of sarcasm!!! We love it!!

It's a Simpsons reference which may offend you but let it be known, it's from the Simpsons...
Bart gets put in the "leg up" program... It's for "special" kids.
One child says to Bart (very slowly) "I moved here from Can-a-da, and they think I'm a bit slooow... Eeeeyyyyy"
Teacher: "ok class, everyone take out your safety pens and a circle of paper"

 

[Princess Jes]

I assume Craig may have picked up on it.
Ryno would for sure!

 

[samsteele]

Aww, who could be offended by the Simpsons? Us Canucks are bigger than that. And good little Canadians are all taught the hokey-pokey in kindergarten. Explains a lot. Given how this thread is tumbling, I'm kind of afraid to explain "hokey-pokey." You could google it with that Siri-chick! But that's what you get when you let the Canucks & Aussies lead Craig Nation. Wiseacre happens!

You could google "dis unplugged youtube universal edition" and it should be the first hit (or close to it) on your results. Enjoy!

I had looked on the Disunplugged Universal page, Live Stream and Youtube but couldn't find this week's episode.

Craig has awful chemistry with Ryno. Ryno is so sweet ,Craig is enigma.

What are you talking about? You understand that it's just his sense of humor/delivery (dry/deadpan), right? He's never rude to Ryno (unless Ryno interrupts a lot, and Ryno DOES cut him off quite a bit, lets be real ).
But other than that, Craigs personality just isn't like the others (in a good way. I like that everyone on the Dis is drastically different from one another).

 

[KingLlama]

I only started listening because A)I enjoyed the WDW show each Tuesday, so I already appreciated the gang and B)I used to be a Studio Guide at USH way back in the day. But the DIS:Universal edition has become absolute must-listening for me each week. Love the team, their interaction, and Craig as the ringmaster.

And it takes a lot for me to LOL, but his intro to the show a few weeks back absolutely killed me(and still does): "We're gonna talk about some rumors and some rumors that aren't technically rumors but they're basically confirmed but they're not so much rumors."

Great work, guys.

I dunno, I like Craig, I think that he runs the Universal show really well. He might come off a bit...rough around the edges...(for lack of a better term) but I like that better then being fake. Craig keeps it real and I appreciate that. Anyone that has watched the show can pick up on how much he loves what he does and how important it is too him. The way he talks about Universal and how he knows sooo much about it shows he has taken the time to understand the park as a whole as well as each ride etc. His banter with his co-workers may be snarky but they are all capable of giving it back to him and he smiles when they do. Which is pretty cute in my opinion.

Keep it up Craig, the Universal show is yours, so run with it!

 

[NuttyDisneyDad]

Craig is awesome and if you cant tell that his back and forth banter with Ryno is all in good fun then thats your problem. I think Craig is hilarious.... I compare him to a young Norm Mcdonald lol

I didn't say that,he sort of rude.He doesn't have charisma like Dustin has.

Charisma doesn't fall under a single brand of personality. In fact, I've greatly enjoyed jumping in the studio with them to talk based not only on our interest in a mutually enjoyed topic, but also because there is a great flow to the conversation that isn't too robotic or too off track... that and I consider them personal friends... Just trust me when I say everyone involved with the show is charismatic.

If these things truly bother you, you may just not enjoy listening and watching. Hopefully that's not the case, but if so there is an off switch and plenty of great books to be read, movies to be watched, and grass to be cut.
