Pete put 4000 DVC points at the new Disneyland DVC Hotel on his Amex? Or is he bankrolling a minor league sports team?

Am the only one who likes Ryno? He puts it out there- he tells you who he is - you can take it or leave it. I don’t always love his complaining, but again he puts himself out there. I do think he might thrive outside the Dis. Do a big nerd YouTube - I don’t know.
I met him once with Steve Porter and they were both super nice.
Ryno is just a Karen who just never seems to be happy with anything.
 
I wonder if he stopped being front and center on the show, so he doesn't accidentally brag on going on trips/stuff he buys. The banks have plenty of videos this past year showing him talking about his trips/purchases. He especially went on and on after he was out of rehab on how much clothing he purchased while he was gone and had it delivered to his house.

I don’t dislike him, I can see how he comes off to some on the channel. I’m a few years younger than he and Craig, we have similar humor, like the same shows and movies so I’ve always felt a kinship with them both. From watching his personal channel, he probably needs to see a therapist.
 
Does Ryno have any skills he could bring to a job? He’s overly sensitive, anxious and seems easily offended. Like it or not, you have to have a thick skin to make a living on social media.

I guess now we know why Pete runs the live show out of his garage with crappy internet

he did go to college, he said if he were to try to get a non Disney related job his dream would be something media advertising related iirc.

Little late for that...

For a long time, I 100% had a crush on Ryno (And Sean too…just sayin’). Something drew me to him and he was one of the reasons I stuck around through lean times. He’s goofy and nerdy…but he for sure changed during the pandemic. Yeah, we all did…but I remember what he was like before and it’s a massive change.

So I’ve spent most of the day going through the old threads and understanding the history. Holy hell…the stuff about Pete the Predator only really scratches the surface…

Oh I could see his needing a therapist, but no more than other friends I know who get stuck in a pattern of complaining.
 
I just looked up his court records. He had allegedly stabbed another man and run into the woods. He didn't put his hands up like the cops asked him to and was tazed. Turned out he had a previous warrant for violation of probation stemming from an old DUI arrest. It seems like he served 10 months in prison.

Don't know if it was his lover but it was listed as a domestic abuse situation. They could've been roommates.

IIRC, wasn't the chef gf someone related to Pete or another team member?

From what I understood he was snorting, smoking or swallowing whatever he considered better than prostitution and then he stabbed a man that he claimed was his boyfriend. When he sobered up he apparently claimed it wasn’t his boyfriend and that he was straight and didn’t know why he said that.

Either he just like…..stabbed a gay?

“Get off my dick, and just stop stabbing people” is the energy I needed today!
Sean you are an absolute treasure!

People describe me a lot of ways, but passive aggressive isn’t one of them lol

I'm so glad that paragon of morality was lecturing us about the moral implications of a dark ride

he just seems pretty deeply depressed right now, coming from someone who also has depression and anxiety. He also openly admits he’s going through a lot and the pandemic did duck him up. You can’t get help if you don’t ask for it. Just my opinion though!

I so appreciate aggressive aggressive over passive aggressive…at least everyone is on the same page!
But seriously good for you for standing up for yourself, moving forward and creating a happy life.
 
I could see both Ryno and Craig finding positions with Give Kids The World. Deni is working there in the PR dept and she might know of a good fit. This would be a great time for the DIS people to start looking elsewhere before the ship sinks.

So, since it seems that Pete sticks his head in the sand when the world is too much for him and knowing that there is almost a million dollars in debt looking him in the face it would be a major head in the sand moment. So, is rehab his “safe” place, is that what he’ll do? I see that the huge bill was also served to the Dreams Unlimited Travel company so will this be the end of friendships? So many questions.
 
We used dreams last year, our agent was meh. She gave us some outdated information and I had to request discounts and she would say “oh I didn’t know you had this” when I remember filling out the information when I sent in my quote request. So had I not been proactive we would have paid hundreds more. It also took a long time to hear back. We’re looking to go to DL next year and obviously wont be using dreams again, even without knowing all the drama. They didn’t impress.

I think ryno is a nice guy and he’s well intentioned overall. He’s really funny when you hang out with him and had the dry/dark sense of humor that I liked so I’ve always enjoyed him. I haven’t spoken to him in many years because I had to stop because (I think I told this story one but idk)…..

Once, Pete wanted to tour the Polynesian on camera and we did a review of Kona Cafe. While the cameras were off, we started talking about accents. It was me, Pete, ryno, and Pete’s nephew Josh and Josh’s husband - Sean. It’s 5 gay men and we all said what we are into and I have a thing for Australian accents but I also looooooove Bostonian accents (it’s like sexy garbage) and ryno mentioned that he’s from Massachusetts but doesn’t sound like it. I said, oh, I thought you were from Rhode Island cause you sound like Family Guy!

Pete got up from the table with his nephew/husband Sean and when they came back the energy had shifted. They wanted to go film and I was concerned about what I did so I gave Pete his space and I stayed at the resort with ryno, who also noticed the energy shift. Turns out Pete was very insecure about me saying I liked Boston accents and ryno being from MA, despite us acknowledging he did not have the accent I was attracted to:

Pete and I sat in the poly parking lot fighting for hours and me begging him to not fire Ryno and I finally just apologized and said I made a mistake and I’d never talk to ryno again and I’ve never spoken to him since because I didn’t want him to lose his job.
 
I used to like Ryno until I spent time with him. Now I don't like him. From my experience, he is pretty fake. I was the one who ran into Tyler and Katrina at Disneyland after they were "let go." They both were just talking about what a POS Pete was. They were pretty drunk haha but we didn't go too deep into the story other than Pete promised them this long term job, and then just sacked them out of the blue. But I also understand why. No one really liked their personalities!

Let's all keep in mind that this is just one CC, from one issuer, and very likely doesn't represent his total debt. Probably just the first one to take legal action. If you aren't paying one creditor, there's a really good chance you're not paying any of them.
