1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,520
Disney way back when and by way back when I mean in the in the you know late

2
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:10,960
aughts right 2019 they announced that Bob Iger who'd been the CEO of Disney for

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:14,100
a long time and had been you know considered one of the most successful

4
00:00:14,100 --> 00:00:18,200
CEOs of Disney up to that point who had been in charge of the acquisition of

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:22,720
Marvel the acquisition of Lucasfilm putting Kevin Feige into his position at

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:28,320
the head of the MCU you know the real the real blow-up of the MCU things like

7
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:32,520
that he was stepping down a CEO and Bob Chapec who had been the head of the

8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:38,840
Parks Division prior to to that was coming in to be the new CEO and then he

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:46,320
did and then COVID happened and then Chapec lost his mind suffice it to say

10
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:55,800
the Chapec era at Disney was nothing if not fraught with problems he changed

11
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:59,400
kind of the whole thing he added another layer of middle management in the film

12
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:06,760
division and things like that and so he was unceremoniously removed by the

13
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,560
Disney board while he was at a concert reportedly they texted him and said

14
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:18,860
you're fired and in firing Bob Chapec they said hey Bob Iger come on back we

15
00:01:18,860 --> 00:01:26,120
need you to step in a CEO and get us out of this this freaking rut I'm in now a

16
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,120
lot of people like well there wasn't a meeting in probably it takes it takes

17
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,240
time okay a lot of things early in Chapec's thing he wasn't Chapec's fault

18
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,280
because when you come CEO it takes more than a day and a half in order for them

19
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:48,200
to in order for them to do anything so then Chapec came in and and we spent

20
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:53,320
after even after Chapec was fired we spent the next 12 18 months basically at

21
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,480
Disney living through the problems that Chapec created excuse me while he was

22
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:05,560
CEO well Bob Iger has been extended has believed in 2026 it it takes time for

23
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,200
them to find a new CEO it's not one of those things that happens just overnight

24
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:17,360
here you go here's a new CEO doesn't happen like that so so they're on the

25
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,600
search for a new CEO for Disney right now yes it was the battle with Bob's

26
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:29,120
thank you Chad here's the problem one of the people they are looking at according

27
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:37,720
to both the Wall Street Journal and IGN is Andrew Wilson the CEO of EA so so

28
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:55,720
here's here's what I'm gonna say no Bob Bob watching the show please God God do

29
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:08,120
not hire the CEO of EA okay EA is universally fucking hated hated despised in

30
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:15,400
the video game community okay literally despised nobody likes EA EA is

31
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:22,560
profitable EA makes money EA makes money in spite of the bonehead ridiculous

32
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:34,040
crap that EA pumps out I'm looking at you Madden okay I oh my god I can't even

33
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:47,280
begin to talk about how much I hate this right I absolutely hate this idea is is

34
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:50,640
he the one chess as if he's the one that started video I know he didn't start

35
00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:54,960
video game micro transactions I am sure he was instrumental in making sure they

36
00:03:54,960 --> 00:04:08,760
became fucking priority number one for EA I can't I can't even begin in his

37
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,280
latest thing apex I just likely won't be getting a sequel and is in his eyes by

38
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:19,280
research Jesus Christ he likes golf all right first off I don't trust it I

39
00:04:19,280 --> 00:04:25,520
immediately stopped trusting people who like golf okay and if you want to know

40
00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:34,680
why go watch go watch Carl and sing on golf he's been at EA for 20 years he was

41
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:39,960
the head of EA sports again Madden and FIFA because Lord knows those have been

42
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:56,680
great great products here's ultimately what I want excuse me not in this please

43
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:03,560
don't bring a tech guy into this and don't bring a video game look you need

44
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:07,400
somebody with organizational experience and things like that who's gonna let the

45
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:12,080
studios do what they need to do because when the creatives are put in charge of

46
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:16,840
being creative they're going to have the greatest amount of success okay they

47
00:05:16,840 --> 00:05:24,120
are okay I will point to the the mentally crap that happened when Chateau

48
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:28,520
Peck was there and how that affected Marvel so terribly by taking away Kevin

49
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:37,400
Feige's power to run the studio the way that it needed to be run just no don't

50
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:42,320
what no okay I don't want a tech guy in there I don't want this and and here's

51
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,600
the other thing right these guys have got to it really had seemed like this

52
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,480
year Disney had figured out their problem

53
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:54,000
Chateau Peck's making a mistake pushing everything straight to streaming here's

54
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:57,560
the thing Disney you've learned this streaming and tech is not is not where

55
00:05:57,560 --> 00:06:02,000
you're gonna make your bones okay you have in fact let's let's double check

56
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:07,840
this real fast but if I'm if I'm not missing my mistake before I do this

57
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:14,080
Disney is the top two grossing movies of the year so far right worldwide box

58
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:19,920
office oh I'm right in Inside Out 2 and Deadpool and Wolverine okay you have

59
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,680
the two top grossing box office why because you didn't push them straight to

60
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,320
streaming you didn't rely on the tech side you did a traditional old-fashioned

61
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:33,120
full-length theatrical run you let those movies build word of mouth you let those

62
00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:37,440
movies be good movies that the creators made but not only that you left them in

63
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:42,360
theaters and gave people time to go see them you didn't do with these other

64
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:47,720
studios are doing and programming people to go and fuck it I'll just wait for

65
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:54,280
streaming no you need to keep them in the theaters and look you've made almost

66
00:06:54,280 --> 00:07:00,760
I think that's just over to know sorry three my mistake three billion dollars

67
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:09,360
three billion dollars in box office okay by leaving them in there okay leave

68
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:13,680
them in things I don't trust a guy especially from EA I don't trust anybody

69
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:20,160
from the video game industry because that industry is an absolute 100% motherfucking

70
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:24,760
dumpster fire okay talk to anybody who works in that industry and they will tell

71
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:31,600
you it's a fucking dumpster fire you don't want to bring that mentality of how

72
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:37,040
you treat your talent how you treat your employees the the the higher pump out

73
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,600
games fire higher pump out game fire you don't you don't want that mentality at

74
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:50,440
your studios that's not how you make good product okay so please God anybody but

75
00:07:50,440 --> 00:08:01,000
this guy okay supposedly have two other they have two other external candidates

76
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:11,520
and they went to 2026 augers on 2026 they will probably have the new CEO start

77
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,520
sometime I would guess middle of next year to give them time to get their feet

78
00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:21,920
underneath them right to take over a company you have to understand Disney's

79
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,000
a massive corporation somebody in the things that don't bring anyone from

80
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:29,760
Hasbro has rose not big enough of a company it's just not they're not they

81
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:35,160
would never bring in like somebody from Hasbro they just they don't have it's

82
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:40,440
it's you're talking about orders of magnitude difference you know Hasbro does

83
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:47,040
like eight billion a year what is Disney doing revenue this year what did they do

84
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:58,480
last year eighty eight point nine billion dollars Disney yeah Disney

85
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:05,040
Disney's too big for somebody like Hasbro last quarter maybe twenty three

86
00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:11,160
point six bill one six billion twenty five so they're at sixty forty five

87
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:19,640
plus they're at sixty eight billion right now so are there any actual Disney

88
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,320
family members still involve chat ass there are people from the Disney family

89
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:37,720
who are on the board and they have large chunks of stock still what's her name

90
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:47,880
Abigail is very involved you'll see her stuff come up you'll see Abigail

91
00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:55,160
Disney's name come up when they talk about board members stuff so yes

92
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:06,120
yeah there's there's people from from the Disney family who still exert

93
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:09,600
influence they're not involved in the business but they exert influence over

94
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:18,080
what's going on there again not this guy please not this fucking guy okay I

95
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:25,440
don't want to see anybody from Techland I don't I don't want to see anybody from

96
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:33,080
from video games the only person from tech who I would say maybe and who

97
00:10:33,080 --> 00:10:44,000
wouldn't take the job would be Tim Cook from Apple he might be able to do it I

98
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:48,920
think he could do it there's been rumors about an Apple Disney merger for a

99
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:55,760
long time I wonder if given the political climate that they might try it in

100
00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:01,400
the next couple of years Apple and Disney have a long history together they

101
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:07,400
have a long a long running history together so I'd be curious to see if

102
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:10,640
those rumors finally come to fruition I won't be surprised if they don't but I

103
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:20,400
also won't be surprised if they do is there anyone who would I want to see a

104
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:27,680
CEO of Disney I'll be honest it's probably nobody I've ever heard of I

105
00:11:27,680 --> 00:11:33,760
would love to see them grab one of the former studio heads but I just Disney

106
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:39,880
such a monster of a company because it's the parks it's the cruise lines it's

107
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:49,120
the movies you know it's it's everything that they do it's so massive I can't

108
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:53,120
think of anybody off the top of my head that I would like to see a CEO I can

109
00:11:53,120 --> 00:12:03,600
definitely tell you I don't want the CEO of EA Bob Bob please no please no
