Unsolicited Fiasco Props Thread

[john7994]

The older show seemed to have longer episodes, more in-depth topics with different guests (outside the sponsors), but Pete was also learning about DVC too and that's why those shows are so good. He asked a lot of questions early on about banking, borrowing, use year, walking reservations, etc. that added to the conversation. The 7 and 7 and Pros & Cons series were good too.

I think the DVC show suffers because they film so many episodes ahead of time and it's become formulaic. By the time they get to the news like Poly tower, I've already read everything imaginable about it from lots of different sources.

At least The DVC Show is accurate. I recently watched another network/channel's special DVC roundtable episode. They completely botched their explanation of right of refusal and resale. I normally enjoy their weekly show, but I had to turn it off because of one of the host's complete lack of understanding of DVC and she was a member!

I agree with your statements (bolded)- it was essentially what I was thinking as well. I was greatly influenced (good or bad) to become a DVC Owner based on these shows, so it would be great to see some of that harder-hitting detail make its way back around. It wouldn't be hard to bring back some of the older topics (updated), as well as perhaps a multi-part series approach to complex mechanics of the program.

I do see Paul is trying to do a short sound-byte series, but not sure where that fits in to be honest.
Will wait and see.

Really going to miss Fiasco being on the show. I really enjoyed his dining reviews and DVC show “welcome home”. Wishing him the best.

 

[AndrewMickey86]

Oh no! Do we know what he'll be doing? I always enjoyed Fiasco. I hope they announce this somewhere besides on the solo show.

 

[seadragon]

Is he already gone? I noticed he wasn‘t on the DVC Fan show this week.

Pete stated on his solo show, last Wednesday morning, that Fiasco was no longer with the company. The DVC show was recorded Wednesday afternoon. It was strange to not have some type of announcement to everyone before seeing a show with his replacement.

He's ok. He's no Ryno. As @daisykingdom91 just discussed, his vocabulary is a bit basic...

 

[Morieris]

Another Dis staff member who has Unceremoniously Left. While it's not our business why, I hope it's acknowledged on the next Unplugged and that he left on good terms. Corey really got better at pronunciation of various foods.

I do not think the parting was on good terms and I doubt you will hear mention of Fiasco again.

I enjoyed Corey’s review of Cape May Cafe on the recent dvc dining show. Lol. It made me laugh. It always seem right when I start to like someone on the dis shows, they leave.

Read the room.

 

[trompettecon]

Read the room.

Sure. Thanks. I understand. But I was agreeing with someone who was also in the room. A room can have multiple viewpoints. Cheers.

He is going back to doing Pin and Candle reviews on his own channel. Hopefully he’ll give us an occasional review of a restaurant that he hasn’t eaten at yet.

 

[The WDW 3]

I just looked for his Channel, but only found this.

 

[80sTerraceCafeFan]

There is plenty he (or he and Haley) could do on his channel beyond pins, but he needs to get it rolling sooner vs later and keep content consistent. The most successful - Trackers, PMM, Pallo, JoJo, etc have a steady stream of content. He seems like a good kid and I'd just like to see him not waste an opportunity, and be successful.

 

[The WDW 3]

Is Haley also leaving the show?

 

[DonMacGregor]

Tbh, I’m not sad that he is leaving (though I wish him well). I only listen to the audio podcast and his dining reviews basically consisted of…”this is good. I like this.” or “This isn’t great. Won’t get it again.” He never really described the dishes or explained why he liked/didn’t like something. It kind of seemed like a waste to even have him do a dining review.

The strong, and often-stated dislike for cheese made him an odd candidate for restaurant reviews though.

The Slackers are beyond awful.

They have yet to update their channel logo, or their main description where they say they upload "new videos" everyday.

LOL, oh Florida Resident Edits....

 

[Jennasis]

That Florida residents edit channel seems like just being Mean to people. I just don't understand them.

 

[TomorrowlandKD]

While I do hope Fiasco is doing okay health wise, I wish him the best.

I also don't understand this whole DIS thing where they cut loose people without any explanation. It's really starting to look bad for them. Especially how much they "strive to be transparent with the listeners".

At any rate, I hope everyone ends up happy.
