In honor of Thread #15, thought I’d give a recap on what went down in #14. A bit long-winded, but if you’ve got some time to kill - Join me, shall you?

At the dawn of thread #14, KT and Spencer flew home from Orlando in COACH, like a couple of plebs. Spencer showed the woman at the gate a photo of he and KT dressed up as King & Queen of Mardi Gras expecting she would bend the knee and upgrade them to first-class, but she seemed unimpressed and instead placed them in extra small seats next to what KT described as a "grotesquely obese man". The sheer size of this man impeded so severely on her personal space that it shifted her chest bones, causing irreperable damage (which we'll touch on later). After all was said and done, Spencer is on record saying that had Disney just given them physical cards for their Dream Keys, this never would have happened.
Upon arrival home, it was eerily silent. BLAB had strategically withheld which flight they'd be taking home simply to prevent their fans from swarming the tarmac with "Welcome home" signs. LAX has occupancy rules & noise ordinances to adhere to, after all. The good news is, the media blackout didn't last long. As quickly as you can say "They're always after me lucky charms", BLAB was back at Disneyland in full-force on St. Patrick's Day. While they expressed that this was meant to be some kind of surprise, anybody paying attention to their "What to expect in March" video already heard KT explicitly say they had a reservation for St. Patrick's Day.
Spencer spent the entirety of this vlog cosplaying as a leprechaun named Patrick. Now, credit where it's due, he really leaned into the offensive aspect of portraying an entire culture as cartoons and parodies of themselves. Where I have to doc him some points, though, is the inaccuracies around Patrick's size. A real leprechaun NEVER could have plowed through the personal space of others as Spencer did as he trounced around the park, beard and all.
In honor of the age-old adage "Quantity over Quality", Saturday brought us Spencer flying solo from "The District". Wasn't sure what this was at first, had to look it up. As a Disney local, I'll concede that in its long history, I HAVE heard it referred to as the "Downtown Disney District" in the past, but that was back in 1947, and even then, it was never just "The District". This vlog was an homage to the ancient art of "Speculation". We learned why he thinks certain buildings are knocked down, and possibly what will go in their place, and probably what certain walls are obscuring from public view. Truly illuminating.
Spring has bloomed at the Disneyland Resort. For any of you idiots out there, that's actually when the Vernal Equinox occurs and the Sun is directly above the Equator. Professor Spence took us to school in the intro of their Spring time vlog and thank God he did. The nice weather and pretty flowers would have just confused me had he not filled us in on the whole Equator thing.
Where this thread really heated up was when they went live from the hostage couch at Anacapa. The first 15 minutes was an excruciating display of awkward fidgeting and some oddball behavior where she continually tucked her sweatshirt under her boobs. Now, don't be too hard on her - come to find out the weird chest stuff was just the lingering affects of her debilitating airplane injury caused by that huge, gross, fat, fat man that the airline had the nerve to sit next to her.
But that's not all, folks. We haven't even introduced the newest character of the BLAB Universe...the backscratcher! Spence & Henry earned a couple of these bad boys by ordering a signature cocktail at WDW. Now, I'm not going to hate on them for that alone - I'd love a backscratcher with my cocktail. The thing is, she started behaving like an absolute child with it - on video - in front of hundreds of their biggest fans. Scratching her back, rubbing it on her face, combing her hair - just a bunch of gross stuff. But it wasn't until she continually started slapping Spencer with it that he snapped at her like the father-figure he is and snatched it away from her entirely. He may as well have also thrown in a "I'll turn this damn car around".
This live also introduced us to a new clever term that Spencer coined himself, in reference to the Disneyland reservation system. Get this guys, are you ready? ..."DREADservation" Like...do you get it? It's like "Dreadful" mixed with "Reservation". He actually put the two together and made an entirely new word out of it! And boy, was he proud of himself.
And then a merch search. Bla, bla - something, something. I just can't even with the merch search
tit.
I hope you enjoyed this nostalgic walk down memory lane and I look forward to the new memories we'll make together in Thread #15.
