here's a direct line to Santa
yeah Santa I would like uh for Bob chapek to get fired this year
please we're all begging you here in Orlando
oh my God it just happened Bob chapek is no longer the CEO of the Walt Disney Company oh
so much just happened it's pretty late here in Orlando right now we're gonna kind of do a quick
little rundown about what happened Bob Iger is coming back as the CEO if you don't know who
Bob Iger is he was the CEO of Disney before 2020 happened uh here's a here's a wonderful canvas
that I had printed of him Disney did scrub this image from the internet but I saved it I made
a canvas of it uh this is uh Bob Iger this is also a kid running away from him and tear that's
what it looks like that's why they removed it but he is now the new CEO of Disney he's back
now a lot of people are huge Bob Iger fans I think he's good I'm not his biggest fan for this video
we're gonna kind of talk about the state of Disney what shape I created what I think iger's gonna do
and the future of the Walt Disney Company that's gonna be kind of a little run down in the video
so first off when jpeg came into Power things were not good at the Walt Disney Company I will
admit Chase Bank was kind of dealt a pretty crappy hand I get pieced out wrote a book and everybody
praised him well jpac was left dealing with the disaster of 2020 and the theme park industry J
Pack cut everything it's been a very dark sad place here I was working for the Disney Company
I was one of the 33,000 cast members or as the emails like to say fellow employees that were
laid off we all felt like we were just like kicked on the curb how Disney handled their
cast members during that time was pitiful highly disrespectful now by all those cast members being
laid off right they had worked for the company for decades the cast members are working built
that brand they built that quality they made Disney what it was that brand recognition of
being the best of the best and Disney lost that they lost a large majority of their Workforce so
when Disney reopened they were just left with this hole of like okay what do we do internally it was
just a disaster because Disney chose to just kick everybody to the curb for the past year
they've had construction signs outside casting asking people to work for the company that's not
a good look for the top theme park offering in the entire world Disney can't keep cast members
because things are just so bad cost of living is so insane here Disney has been refusing to
increase the pay with the Union there's this huge domino effect when Capac came into office cast
members are just miserable which then decreases quality of life at the theme park then jpeg added
in the reservation system one of the worst things I've ever seen at a theme park in my entire life
and then he introduced Genie plus and lightning Lane and visiting the Walt Disney Parks became a
chore it's a very frustrating experience and it's just it's kind of miserable so cast members are
not happy with the state of Walt Disney guests are not happy so stocks have plumbed it in half fourth
quarter went absolutely terrible for the Walt Disney Company he's got to be fired that is why
jpex is gone he is officially going on and I'm so happy now I do have a video coming out where
I literally met Bob shape back and I have him on video so that'll be coming soon but he's no longer
the CEO now even the old CEO Michael Eisner said welcome back to Disney Robert Iger that's insane
that he congratulated him for coming back the memes have been insane on this Twitter at least
I'll save some money when applying the new window vinyl this video of Mickey made me laugh so hard
I could see white smoke Rising above the Magic Kingdom right now a new Bob has been selected
Iger sends out an email to everyone we're gonna read the email real quick okay so this is this
is what Iger said he said dear fellow employees and cast members it is with Incredible sense of
gratitude and humility and I must admit a bit of Amazement that I write to you this evening
with the news I am returning to the Walt Disney Company as chief executive officer when I look
at the creative success of our team across our Studios Disney General entertainment ESPN and
international the rapid growth of our streaming services and phenomenal reimagining and rebound
of our Parks the continued great work of ABC News and so many other achievements across our
business I am in awe of your accomplishments and I'm excited to Embark with you on many new
Endeavors I know this company has asked so much of you during these past three years and these
times certainly remain quite challenging as you heard me say before I'm an optimist and I learned
one thing from my years at Disney it is that in the face of uncertainty perhaps especially in
the face of uncertainty our employee boys and cast members achieved The Impossible you'll be hearing
more from me and your leaders tomorrow and in the weeks ahead in the meantime allow me to express my
deep gratitude for all that you do Disney holds a special place in the hearts of people around the
globe thanks to you and your dedication to this company and its mission to bring joy to people
through great storytelling is an inspiration to me every single day Bob Iger great little email that
was sent out internally to all the Disney cast members iger's contract with Disney to be the CEO
is for the next two years we kind of got a little rundown about what happened internally from Jordy
on Twitter he was saying the Disney board made an offer yesterday and he accepted this morning with
a low compensation package Bob chapek was fired as a result with a large severance package he
also says as for what is happening with Bob chapek I'm hearing that there's a non-disparagement and
non-disclosure clause in his termination agreement don't think we'll be hearing from him anytime soon
about what he thinks it sounds like Bob Chase fire they paid him a crap ton of money and uh he he's
gone he's looking like uh jpeg will at least get 23 million dollars in his little severance package
and Bob chapek we have someone that not only knows the company very well having run few of our really
important businesses including parks and Resorts but he's also someone that we know very well and
we couldn't think of a better candidate now the two Bobs have kind of been in a dispute for the
past couple years they don't like each other at all Bob Iger even said earlier in an interview
he said hiring Bob chapek was one of his worst business decisions now let's talk about what I
think is going to happen with Iger he's a great businessman he knows how to put the right people
in the right places creatively to create a great product I wonder if Joe Rohde will come back I
hope he comes back now Iger doesn't have the best track record as we all know the NBA experience at
Disney springs that was a traumatic failure he also put Disney in incredible debt with the fox
deal Iger has budget cut a bunch of things is he perfect no but this is the first time
that I felt like the Disney Dark Ages might be ending and there's kind of like a light at the
end of the tunnel Eiger is fully aware about epic Universe right down the road and I think
he's gonna really fund a bunch of new rides and attractions for the theme parks now will that
be open by the time epic Universe opens no he's gonna set a good foundation for what's to come
all the cast members were really scared this past week because chapek that he was gonna be doing a
bunch of layoffs throughout the entire company I still think that might happen I don't think it'll
be Frontline workers I think it's gonna be a lot of managers and people behind the scenes in Disney
plus and ESPN if there are still layoffs I think that's where they'll be but I think a majority of
the theme park employees are safe because honestly they don't they don't have enough to run the theme
parks I'm excited for Iger to come back he kind of ended on a good track record so for him to
come back he wants to end on a high note I think he's got a lot of things planned I really hope
the CFO Christine McCarthy goes away she's a CFO who gave herself the 11 million bonus while all
the cast members were literally starving during 2020 and uh on unemployment and going to the food
bank but she gave herself bonuses I hope people like that go away but again the Iger era is not
perfect a lot of the same in people in management are still here from that era let me know down in
the comments what are your thoughts about Iger would you rather have somebody else or are you
happy that he's back I think he's gonna be here for two years I think he's gonna really take time
to try to figure out who's a good replacement for him maybe Josh I mean Josh might be the new CEO I
don't know I don't know who's the next replacement for the Walt Disney Company but I don't think
iger's gonna extend after the two years because he's already done multiple extensions and he owns
a big portion of Funko now he's I believe he's talking about running for president so I just
got other things that he wants to do but I think he's coming in and doing Disney a little favor and
helping save the company I'm really hoping the Park reservation system goes away I don't think
Genie plus is gonna go away or lady Lane because I was making Disney too much money prices are not
going down at all Genie plus service today is 29 a person and if you want to purchase a lightning
Lane for Rise of the resistance that'll run you 25 tickets have gone up but the quality and offerings
have gone down now if they stayed the same or even got better I wouldn't mind the price increases
right everything's gonna go up but if the quality was still still still there I wouldn't mind it but
since the qualities down here it's upsetting to all of us why things cost so much at Disney
like the fact that trams are still not back and half The Parks at Walt Disney World do not have
trams there's so many things I go on and on about that still need to happen at the park I'm just
hoping with this new leadership and maybe like a Shakedown in leadership that there is change
so I'm hoping reservations go away I hope cast members get paid a decent wage because Iger said
an interview that he wished that he increased the minimum wage earlier he did an interview buddy you
gotta uh go up to 18 an hour like the union once so they can have a kind of a decent living that's
not enough to live down here but it's better than what they are being paid now I also think he's
gonna be putting people in the right places to create actual good content for Disney plus launch
Disney plus and then he peaced out and what jpeg has produced on Disney plus has been very pitiful
the core of everything that's at the center of our brand is really our creative storytelling I
believe they spent 30 billion dollars you know we got for 30 billion dollars we got Cheaper by the
dust there's been so much hot garbage that's been on Disney Plus during the chapek era I really hope
the Iger era has like some good content coming I don't know what the future holds for the Walt
Disney Company but I'm excited I think there's gonna be big changes and big movements ziger
cares about the guests and he cares about the company he wants it to be the best company out
there I'm sorry I'm just kind of like rambling I'm gonna do like a deeper dive throughout the
next couple weeks talking about everything as we know more information everything all we know
right now is a statement from Disney and the email that Iger sent out to the cast members
that's all we know so wonder what happened behind the scenes I think what we all want over the next
two years with Iger being the new CEO is we want that Disney quality to come back and I'm hoping
he's the one to kind of helped stabilize this Rocky ship of what the Disney company is kind
of give a vision of where the future needs to go making Disney what it used to be because under the
ruling jpeg it was completely lost everybody just wants Disney to be the best so guys if you enjoyed
this video and you're happy that Bob chapek has been fired hit that like button if you haven't
already hit the Subscribe button join the family I love the fam because I'm gonna keep you up to
date on all things behind the scenes at Disney and theme parks around the country guys I love you all
and I will see you all very soon thank you Santa for this Christmas miracle he's got to be fired
