Were y'all ever engaged? Did he actually get on his knee and propose?
A question out of curiosity, what was your going hourly rate? And how much did you charge him to go to NJ with him?

We were never engaged but when he did propose he sat down I think. I don’t think he got on one knee. He pulled his Own ring off and handed it to me and said ‘I want you to be my partner in life and in business and if you’ll marry me I won’t make you sign a prenup’ and I was like ‘why would you say it like that?’ Which then made him mad.

But he had a track record of that stuff. He designated our ‘anniversary’ as July 1 and I asked him why because I literally wasn’t dating him, we didn’t even go on the date I described above until the middle of august. And he super close to my face, all dramatic like and said in like a quiet (trying to be romantic tone) ‘it’s the day I stopped seeing you as just a bleep’ - I just sat there and I finally said, ‘wow, and that gets to be my anniversary. How fun for me.’ And he just moved right along as if what he said wasn’t incredibly offensive and rude lmao.

I have no clue what I charged to go to NJ but the rate depends on what’s gonna happen.

Ironically, the main thing I would get hired for was going to DisneyWorld with business travelers. They usually had like a day off from conferences or had an early morning or the conference wouldn’t start until the next day and they were alone and they wanted someone to go to the parks with them.

Is it possible for Pete not to be so underhanded? He has Tony Soprano's mother-levels of cattiness, good lord

Can you ballpark estimate it?

@The Mando has Pete reached out to you recently with all of this stuff coming out on tattle? When's the last time he's contacted you?

I have him blocked everywhere so if he did, I haven’t seen it.

I just looked and it was a year ago because I compiled a huge list showcasing to Pete how little work he does.

He wanted an assistant for MTO because he was working ‘soooo hard’ in the Facebook group, YouTube, and on the MTO website and needed help. YouTube was all being done by fiasco or Panda. And a quick analytics pull showed the other 2 things to be false.

One is a photo of his about me. It is literally one sentence, doesn’t use his MTO email and has some listing in Libertyville Illinois that doesn’t even have a photo. - great website management.

And then with Facebook, he posted 2 times and liked 2 posts in 3 months. He also, in those same 3 months+ months worked less than 2 minutes, 1 day per month. And in June it was just to remove Fiascos status and in July it was to actively remove my posts because he was mad at me.

I learned real estate, hosted the shows, came up with the topics, took the leads, worked the clients, sold the houses, came home and had to respond to the Facebook group and approve people and lead the team of the other realtors in the group. - this man wanted an assistant and was making half the money and these images are the amount of effort he was putting in.

He hasn't put put a video in over a year. Last I saw on his twitter or some other social page he basically said the juice wasn't worth the squeeze. The money wasn't there and I guess he was losing his enjoyment in it all. Which sucks because I loved his content

I really loved his work, he was such a passionate researcher and presenter back when he started. Quite an historian. I miss his videos.
 
I'm sorry if this has been answered - I searched and wasn't sure... Am I supporting *him* in any way if I buy from Magic Candle Company?? I love that stuff but I'm willing to find something else if so... TIA

Rob and his friend Christine do the Tomorrowland Transit Authorities podcast. It's about twice a month since Christine had a baby and they both seem to be busy with their own lives. It's a pretty silly show and I enjoy it very much. Christine still lives in New Jersey so you get to hear about the parks from a more touristy perspective.
