I think John and Kevin were willfully ignorant of Pete’s behavior. Let’s face it they are no spring chickens and I’m sure they had strong suspicions, but as long as no one was flat out telling them they could continue to ignore the suspicious behavior.

You may have somewhat of a point there. They apparently did not have a clue as to the $800,000+ Amex account.

I was thinking back to actual examples of PW's behavior (when it came to his younger attractive employees). The person I have always been interested in hearing from is Oliver. I recall watching this one video a long time ago and I could not shake that it seemed that Pete was much more flirtatious and seemingly giddy? I think I found the video in question and I will post it below with timestamps.

First off, it's only Pete and Oliver...no other employees around. This could be because no one else was available to film...but knowing what we know now....it gives me pause? There were two other videos that were filmed the same way (assuming the same day). I cannot recall if he did this often, so please feel free to chime in if he did this with other employees.

I only really noticed this because he seemed different here, unlike his interactions with other employees and fellow colleagues. I am wondering if anyone else sees this too...or if I was/am just reading too much into it.

10:28 Most of the video seems fine, but the flirty-ness starts at around this time.
11:22 Pete mentions that he would talk inappropriately to Mickey Mouse:/ (ok...odd thing to say on a podcast)
13:05–14:10 Defends his love for Caseys hotdogs and then flirtatiously calls Oliver "Judgey McJudgerson...with his judgey eyes" (um..wut?)
13:40 After Oliver says he can find a hotdog on 192, Pete mentions that you could also find a prostitute. (is DisUnplugged supposed to be family friendly...or no?)
13:50-14:15 Again calls Oliver a "Judgey McJudgerson" and also says he will make Oliver starve and Pete will eat his hotdogs alone. (just flirty banter??? it's weird)

I'm pretty sure there was an episode where the panel was all male (maybe Kevin, John, Corey & Ryno or Craig) where Oliver threw in his opinion on something and then threw back to Pete with "What do you think?" Pete said "I think my next husband will be British." There was an awkward silence then someone else started talking. It was creeptastic. I was like damn dude settle down.

We spent about 200-300 tonight at Disney springs on drinks and dinner. That was a lot... Captain nicotine dropped close to one million on vacations and DVC. Yikes!!!

I feel ya. Raglan Road is my favorite stop at Disney Springs. Give me a good Irish band and the Guiness and Jameson starts flowing. $100 hangover right there.

He often boasted about being top tier Disney cruise level (pearl) and how he'd never again cruise like a peasant.
I wonder where all that money came from for those excursions. :unsure: Given what we have heard is going down, Pete may never cruise again.

Tim Tracker was trying to follow in Pete's footsteps and even he seems to have realized how rediculously expensive it is to cruise like that. Tim is one of the least financially savy bloggers out there and even he caught on... that's saying a lot about Pete's state of mind.

First of all, glad to see you posting again.
You were missed. 😘

Not quite following your thought on Tim Tracker.
• He had the Roy E Disney Suite on the Dream,
Mar. 2022. 4-night, $22-24K
• Then the Roy E Disney Suite on the Fantasy,
May 2022. 7-night, $37K. Plus the extra 2 rooms. One for his parents and one for the babysitter.
• Followed by 3 Wish cruises - August & two in November 2022, just one week apart (the first in concierge, 3-night, $7K)
• Then in December 2022 Tim spent $40K on a week to Aulani, which included 4 first class round trip tickets (MCO - HNL) for their family plus the babysitter they HAD to take.

Roughly $130K in 2022 on just these trips I have listed.

In 2022 there were multiple other trips to Disneyland Hotel (2-bdrm suite, 4 first class tickets, plus DL & DCA park tickets) AMI house rental that slept 20+, Legoland Hotel and Fort Wilderness Campground in a rented RV, to name a few.

How is Tim not following in PW’s footsteps?

And Tim still has cruises booked for this September, when the baby turns 6 months old. And another next summer that goes to Lighthouse Point. These probably are concierge level too.

I would like to know more about Oliver’s experience at the DIS, I was rooting for him at the start, he was educated in filmmaking and reasonably well spoken, but something happened rather quickly with him, to the point where I found myself wondering if he were on drugs. Craig was stepping in to cover for him and Oliver seemed to have lost desire to create good content. And then he left.

Ah, I no longer follow much of anything Tracker related anymore. Last thing I remember was Tim saying they love to be in concierge again but … I believe it was last fall. Sigh. Why do I keep holding out hope that some day they’ll smarten up? :ROFLMAO:
$130k is nuts. I have a hard time justifying a $75 dinner at Chillis.
I wonder if Tim has an Amex card. :unsure:
 
I remember Oliver leaving very suddenly! It's funny the stuff you just forget. He was one of my faves then suddenly he disappeared. He started up another YouTube channel that I think I was subbed to for a bit? But it wasn't the same and I stopped watching

For the year 2022 it was guesstimated that Tim spent $225+K on their vacation/staycations for cruises, hotels, first class flights, excursions/tours, souvenirs and food. Lots of food for Jenn’s trough!

Yeah he made a channel with his then husband Spencer at the time. Jennilynn used to appear a lot.

Then they went a couple months I think with no content and Spencer suddenly appeared on instagram with a new boyfriend who looked like Oliver. Lol

I think Oliver was working at Universal but he's been out of public since then. His take and what happened to him would be interesting BC he's totally someone Pete probably wanted. He was cute, funny, accent, fan favorite. He fit great with Craig and Ryno.

I don't watch the trackers. The little bit that I watched I didn't like. But with their vacationing, I wonder how much of it is a tax write-off. And I wonder how much money he makes off of each video to help compensate for the trip?

I bet they write off a lot but they also probably don't have anyone doing their taxes either. I wouldn't be shocked if an audit blew up their bank account someday.

As I stated before, when the Trackers did an entire episode on what to tip all the cast members when you cruise concierge, I said enough is enough. I hate the Beverly Hillbillies 2.0 with an intense passion.
