"Drive three hours. My mom would drive me to auditions and acting class every day. So you began being homeschooled, I think, after a couple of years of starting down this path, that meant that you were obviously pretty committed to this. Was there, did you feel that total support at home that this was a path worth pursuing? I think at one point, how did your mother herself gone down the path of being an actress? Well, she always wanted to. She wanted to be in school places as a kid, but her parents didn't really allow it. And so I think when she saw this passion in me, she really, she embraced it wholeheartedly and she quit her job, you know? That was an incredible sacrifice. And then she would drive me every day and she was on set with me not in the heads and she flew with me to New Zealand to shoot a movie and the amount of time that it took and so yeah I wouldn't be here without that. So those early jobs that I referenced in the introduction, these are a lot of stuff on Nickelodeon. A lot of stuff on the Disney Channel that were, you know, yeah, it's not streetcar named desire, but you're really getting, I guess, learning step by step a bit more about how you do what you do.

This is a Bloomberg money minute, as Americans continue to cut the cord Walt Disney's biggest cable networks, continue to lose subscribers. A company filing shows ESPN and the Disney Channel, each lost 2 million subscribers in the year ended in September. Losses at some of Disney's other channels were even larger with FX, free form and National Geographic, each losing 3 million. In Disney's not alone, AMC networks is also losing subscribers, as the number of cable customers shrinks, the entertainment company is responding with big layoffs about one 5th of its workforce.

"Welcome to the podcast. Thank you. Thanks for having me. So I took the liberty of looking up a fun fact about FuboTV. And I would love a fun fact about you in a bit, but I looked up the origin story behind the name and I should have known this because it's apparent. It's so obvious when I, when I know what it stands for, but apparently fubo is short for football, but like the Spanish spelling of the soul. Because FuboTV was founded as a soccer streaming service, back in 2015, and it didn't change into an all sports service until 2017. So I thought that was pretty interesting. But yeah, so that's a fun fact about FuboTV. What's something about you that maybe not a lot of other people know? Yeah, so I'm really glad you shared that fun fact because a lot of people get it mixed up with the fubu. So and that's the reason that it's called fubo again is because of the soccer reference there. So that's kind of how it came to be. So I'm glad you referenced that. I actually have two interesting facts about me and I couldn't really choose because one is kind of random and the other one I'm super proud of. I love random. The first would be, when I was 7, I was almost cast in a Disney show that was gonna run on the Disney Channel. It was a pretty, it was a pretty cool thing at 7 years old, but I ended up being two inches too tall. How tall were you, by the way? I was, I want to say I was like 5 four at the time, but that's pretty tall for a 7 year old. 5, four, 7 years old. Yeah, that's in 5 three, something like that has a pretty tall kid. How tall are you now? I'm only 5 8. It was so sad. It was like I grew and then I stopped. Well, look, same. I was about 5 8 when I was in the 5th grade and that was it for me. It seems kind of unfair. Anyway, and then the one that I'm actually really proud of and you're going to think I'm a weirdo for is my husband and I love playing cornhole. We played all the time. Barr is a Friends, whatever. And we've actually never lost. Never lost, ever. Never lost a cornhole match. It's like, I don't know how it came across. Yes. We started doing this when we first started dating like 11 years ago, 12 years ago at my aunt's pool party. And we ran the table, and ever since every single time we played, we never lost. This is 11 year cornhole victory streak. Yes, it's pretty impressive. We're very competitive, so it's not surprising, but it's a random thing. I have no idea why we're good at it. It doesn't make any sense. Maybe I need to become a pro who knows. I have to ask you because it is going to happen someday. You might lose it at cornhole. You know? What are you going to do? Going to try not to cry, throw a tantrum, be a good sport, which is what I tell my boys to be. Eventually everyone's got to lose, but it is not going to be a good day. I'm not going to lie. Well, I wish you continued cornhole to carry. Thank you. Told you it was a random one.

"Because before the streaming platforms, you'd either have had to rent it or it might have appeared on one of the TV channels, you know, it might have been on Disney Channel, but it wouldn't be something that you could kind of just rely on being there. Or you'd go to the cinema, whereas now I don't know whether do kids distinguish movies and programs quite as distinctly as they might have done. I'd say 5 years ago, or is it just in some ways on a spectrum of the content that they'd be able to get on that platform? Yeah, that's a really interesting point and yet. I mean, like also, you know, don't forget the age old content consumption tactic of recording something on VHS and playing it till death and knowing exactly how long you have to fast forward to to get through the outbreak. I definitely had a couple of life back where I knew the exact cadence. Yeah, it's interesting obviously the broad availability that that streaming services offer is huge. So in our sense of is it more just the same content? Is it an event ties as much? Yeah, it's hard to say. I mean, movies are a great way to really connect with characters. When in a deep way and the rewatch ability of a movie and I think I speak for the whole family is always easier. I could definitely watch minions for probably the 121st time rather than put on another paw patrol episode and personally. But yeah, it's interesting to think about whether kids see it in the same way. I mean, I still think that what ends up being their favorite ends up being their favorite and maybe there's an opportunity for some of these I saw drinks like as I said the secret life of pets is this kind of from the data point of view kind of a runaway success and maybe because it's one of the few bigger.

"Hey their listeners, it's Brett Molina, welcome back to talking tech. If you are a subscriber to YouTube TV, you likely had a fun weekend, because you probably woke up on Saturday morning like I did and discovered that you no longer had access to Disney channels like National Geographic, ESPN, ABC, FX. All that fun stuff. That's because both YouTube TV and Disney were in the midst of a dispute over an upcoming contract to allow you to TV to carry Disney channels. It has now been resolved. My colleagues write about this in a story that you can read on tech USA Today dot com. YouTube TV announced on Sunday that they reached a deal with Disney to restore access to those channels after they had failed to reach a deal by the Friday deadline. At the time that this happened at the time that YouTube TV lost those channels, the service said that they were going to give people a $15 discount. So typically you pay 64.99 a month for YouTube TV, that was going to go down to 49.99 per month. Any Disney recordings that you made previously will return to your YouTube TV library. And if you have a local ABC station, that'll be available as well. Any subscribers who obviously were frustrated by this, I can't blame them. And they started the cancellation process. Parent company Google says that it will honor a one time $15 credit on your bill if you come back and resume your membership before you lose your access. The two companies have been negotiating for a while and obviously we'd heard YouTube TV talk about this, how's channels might go away? Disney said it was optimistic a deal could be reached. Of course, this is all happening with a lot of big stuff happening in sports between the NBA and then college football and everything else. But again, eventually we got a deal and now everyone with YouTube TV gets those channels back. This is an incident that we thought we got away from and I've said this before. We thought we were done with this when we got away from cable and we thought, oh, here's the Brave New World of streaming. You can go to Netflix and go to wherever and you get everything you want exactly as you want. And it's going to be great, but it turns out the more things seem to change the more they stay in the same. I still remember back in the day when streaming really first started take off and there was all this talk about, you can pick a la carte channels. You can pick the exact channels you want and you can get all this and this and this. And now we've gotten to the point where YouTube TV is very similar to what you'd get from a cable package. Really the biggest difference is, you know, you're not having to pay to rent the cable boxes, for example, or any of the extra fees. It's really about, you know, as long as you have some kind of device that plays it, whether it's a phone or Roku or whatever, you're set. So that's obviously still a big advantage to TV. That's why I still subscribe to YouTube TV personally. It's part of the reason why I've kept it. It was because I have players for it. I don't have to pay extra for it. Whatever Roku's I've bought to use YouTube TV and everything else has paid for itself..

"You know, listeners, it's Bret Molina, welcome back to talking tech. It feels like every week that I record the talking tech podcast, we have another carriage dispute. This time involving YouTube TV and Disney. I could have sworn we were rid of this when, you know, we had cable and we got away from it to stream. Wasn't that the whole point of this supposed utopia where it was like you could get the channels you wanted. You didn't have to worry about the back and forth of so and so is going to take your channels away. Let your cable subscribe or no. Apparently that still exists right now. YouTube TV Warren subscribers on Monday. It might lose channels such as ABC ESPN FX and a lot of the Disney properties as parent company Google works out a renewed deal. YouTube TV sent an email out to subscribers. They said they're in negotiations with Disney on a new contract. The current deal is set to expire on December 17th. According to YouTube TV, the two sides haven't reached what they call a quote equitable end quote deal yet. Disney has told USA Today in a statement that it's optimistic a deal could be reached. They talk about how they've had a very successful track record of negotiating deals with all different providers. And so they feel like they feel pretty good about a deal getting done. Obviously, YouTube TV has been in the news recently because they recently reached deal with streaming platform Roku. As you recall, there was a lot of back and forth with YouTube and YouTube TV apps on Roku devices. Roku came out with statements, alleging Google and big tech were trying to basically bully the smaller companies like a Roku, Google came out saying they wanted a similar deal as before. Of course, that led to YouTube TV being pulled from Roku devices if you were a new buyer if you already had YouTube TV, you were fine, you really probably didn't even notice it at all. And they were about to pull the YouTube app earlier this month, but of course they reached a last minute deal and everything's fine. Is very likely this will be the same thing where Google and Disney reach a deal and then YouTube TV is not affected and none of us feel it. But, you know, this stuff's not fun. It was one of the reasons for me anyway that I looked forward to getting away from cable and moving to more streaming. That and of course the price and not having to rent a cable box in all those other things. But the fact that it's still here, it's like the more things change the more they stay the same. I feel like that's where we're at right now. Yeah, we're streaming. We're on these different platforms that aren't cable. But considering all these carriage deals, it sure feels like we really haven't left. Listeners, let's hear from you. Do you have any comments? Questions or show ideas? Do you have any thoughts about all this back and forth between the providers and channels and stuff like that? Are you just tired of it? Has it ever made you reconsider like what you subscribe to?

"It just takes time. And everybody's path is absolutely different. As many acting paths as there are actors and what you're not getting right out of school, I mean, I've got a friend who went right out of school into the Disney Channel 6 figures and never, ever, ever in the 20s in their 20s, or even or in the 30s. Did they experience truth struggle, right? Because like poverty is really a big part of the struggle. It's like just, you know, they were always booking. So they didn't have that kind of character building strength attitude that can only be granted to people who have been in the trenches for a really, really long time. You know, you get humble and you get, you get grateful and so you know, if you aren't if you whiffed in your 20s, I mean, there's so many you have a specific path that is in coordination with who you are and where you are and the type of person you are. And you're not writing your path to path as being written right now, you know? So I used to get bent out of shape about people coming right out of college. And in their 20s, they started booking. And I was like, what the hell? Why aren't I doing that? Well, I know for a fact that I can walk into any room and I know that I deserve to be there simply because of the stuff that I've been through. I know that those people in front of me behind the table have not experienced the things that I have. And I have surmounted. So I get that confidence knowing I deserve to be here because of the crap that I've gone through to get here. That's good. And I'll take that over 23 Disney Channel any day because that kind of strength takes me in all the way through life. You know, and so if you are struggling and you kind of have those years before you while other people were booking, you were kind of slogging it. Remember that your character is growing and you're skin is thickening. And all these things that require are required for you for a lifetime in this business are actually being molded right before your very eyes. You just don't realize it. I always get more from people who have suffered through things. Like, if someone had just got out of school and went right into the business I can't learn much from you about how to navigate the business because your gold plate was kind of just handed to you right out of the gate. Not to say they don't have anything to say. But I've experienced those who have gone through struggles, have a lot more to say a lot more to give. They have a lot more confidence because they went.

"Yeah. What a shocker. You're not gonna get a blog post out of that one. You know, there's nothing. There's no news story there. But I think as someone who loves performance and loves to watch, especially actresses and women talk about their lives, their experiences, I did find it interesting to sort of get her to see her talk about Shia LaBeouf was interested. Even if she wasn't saying anything, that was particularly compelling. Chris, this was great. Thank you so much for joining us today on the show. Oh my God, thank you for having me. This was a dream.

"To be there with her. But it came with a lot of bumps along the road on a lot of disappointments and heartbreaks and, you know, not getting things, which is an experience that I certainly don't like. I don't like to not get things. So I do think empathy and the little like you can take the child out of the star, you can't take the child. At the end of the day, she's still, you know, had that experience and is that person. And there was a little like how real can this even get when you're talking to a person who's upbringing was sort of completely unreal, at least in regards to what I think of as reality. And I will say we did get we got somewhere. That's sort of where I landed too. Rachel you? I did go into the entire romantics being like, why is she doing so much clickbait? What's going on here? I mean, I love men, so I was going to support it anyway. But then I read your piece and I was like, oh, it's not just mess. It's a bit just a bit of mess, but it's compelling. And at the core of the mess, is something that I can empathize with. Which is my favorite kind of mess. One thing I do think we should talk about as we're talking about Chrissy carls and Romano is that a lot of child stars, former child stars aren't able to thrive as adults because of the very nature of the childhoods that they lived. Exactly. Because of the nature of the child they had, and because of the nature of celebrity and entertainment, in general, you know, it choose you up and it spits you out. And that's sort of like Chris Carl's Vermont was saying happened to her. And that's why I think she's really enjoying and reveling. And I'm actually really happy for her that she's having this moment in the sun again, because I think she thought she would spit out and never to return again by the industry. And that's in our new found age of content creation. We're the directors and the writers and the camera people in the sound people. You can make yourself relevant again if you're willing to go there. So we have these videos from Christie, which are sort of extremely ridiculous, where she doesn't deliver anything. And those are some of the more clickbaity ones, but the videos I find actually very compelling are the ones where she does have heft to what she's saying when she talks about like, I have been sober for 5 years. Here's what alcohol did to my life or I was a really wealthy child star and I have no financial literacy at 18 and I blew a $1 million in a year. Yeah, or the one where psychic scans are out of $60,000. Because that is a real thing. Internals the line. That's sort of in between, but I did also find that one fascinating as well. It's funny that you mentioned the sobriety one because that came out the day before we chatted. So we did talk about that one a lot. And it is real, and it is, it does sort of get into her experience, leaving Hollywood, starting at Barnard, feeling sort of out of place away from Hollywood, but not wanting to be there. And whatnot, and she does have emotional. She is, you know, a smart woman who has the power and the she's willing to go there with herself. And when there's a place to go, she's willing to go there. And with her sobriety journey, that's a real road that she's traveled that she's still walking down. Does she sometimes walk down roads that really there's no path? They're like, Britney, and Hathaway. And with Katy Perry, of course. But the weird, the interesting thing, and I think the reason why I think a lot of us keep clicking is because sometimes show really lay it all out on the line and say, yeah, I absolutely struggled with alcohol addiction as a person leaving the industry and making my way through New York as a college student. Yeah, I absolutely made all this money and had no idea what to do with it. I will say for every video that's like clickbait, here are my random musings on bernese beers. There is something that actually delivers on the promise of the title, I would say. I do find it interesting also that she still to this day is shilling for the Disney corporation, like she loves the mouse. She wants to go back to the mouse. Every time she scooch is right up to that line where you think, oh, are you gonna say something like grating and bad about your childhood in the Disney corporation and then she's like, but I still love Disney. This is great. She loves the mouse house. She wants to be back in that house. She wants to be back in that mouse house. And I do think she's not alone in that. Some of these other girls, Selena and Miley, they have sort of spoken out against the mouse house and a more visceral ways, but they always end up walking it back in one way or another, which I think is interesting that says something about Disney corporation and overlords, which I do think is more conditioning of being a child star. Like truly, we sort of laugh at these videos right? These clickbaity by 9 11 story Katy Perry stole my record career like, that's very funny and easy to mock, but when you're ten years old and you know, your income is like paying your families, mortgage and get being on good terms with Disney execs is like, what's gonna set you up for the rest of your life? You can't unwind that is hard work, if not impossible. If not impossible. And I do think she does have a lot of love for that. I mean, it is her literal life, that was her whole life, right? Was Disney and these corporations. And I do feel like she I will say I do feel that she feels that she was treated fairly by Disney. She actually went on a longer tangent that sort of made it a little bit into the profile about how Nickelodeon did not treat its actors in its child stars as well as Disney. They did not. They took advantage of them. They hired non union. There was not sort of the infrastructure there to protect child stars. She insinuated about Nickelodeon as opposed to Disney. And I do think that she is nostalgic as many of us. I'm nostalgic for my theater camp. I can't imagine how nostalgic I would be if I were a literal Disney Channel star and how much part of me would want to go back there. So I think that's a very human emotion and a very human impulse. And I also think there is not to bring up a whole other thing. There's money in the banana stand, you know? Disney is rebooting and doing Raven's home, right? And we talked a little bit about that. And so now we're even getting a second chance and people reboots and nostalgia and repackaging and even just making the same thing over and over again is 87% of culture right now. And I think she would like to cash in on that. I also will say I'm not to be like, I'm proud of us, but I do think it's interesting and it's great that we've gone through, we talk so much about her without once really saying the name Shia LaBeouf and even mentioning that I think we're probably her first big video or first big YouTube video. I think that really hit was like, why I don't speak to Shia LaBeouf. And honestly, I think we were all curious about that. I think that is something that we all wanted to know, just given how high he saw and how quickly and deeply he fell. So I think that's an interesting aspect to it. And it's also these are things that she did not have to share. She doesn't have to share and she's just like opening her book of secrets in the way. And letting out the secrets when she has them to let out. It's like comes there at the page as children. Cynically, that one's like such an obvious secret secret quote unquote. The woman has not actually spilled any tea. At all. Not a hot tea, not ice tea, not a tea bag in sight. I mean, being on the record as Shia and I didn't get along and we don't talk now. It's like, ah, yes..

"Not 1968. But a year later. That is, of course, Christy Carlson Romano, singing about the moon landing in the iconic musical episode of even Stevens. She even sang a little bit of it for me. We went to the moon, and of course, of course, 'cause that's what of course she did. She wants it all back. I think she also wants it all back. Oh, say a little bit more about that. Well, I could tell that there were some moments in her career where are there some regrets? I think not even regrets, that's pretty maybe too strong a word, but she looked back on some sort of difficult moment. She was left off of not to bring Vanity Fair again. They needed to figure out a sort of an iconic cover intervals. The Ed girls, we've all seen it. It's pink, it has Amanda binds, it has Raven Simone. It has Ari Duff. It has both Olsen twins. Big get. And Christie was left off that cover. So and she is the one who brought it up. I wasn't even gonna bring that up because I didn't really even know that she cared, and she was like, look, I'm not salty about being left off the cover. But all of those women and all those girls who are now in women were gifted an empire of their choosing after being on that cover and sort of got to sort of live out their career dreams and she didn't really exactly get that. And I do think she feels like only just now by entering the YouTube space and by sort of forging her own path. If you will, that she's getting a taste of what they sort of got immediately after doing that cover. And in those years proceeding. And I think she's grateful that, you know, for some of those women, the world was really rough and the media was really rough to them and life was tough. So I do think she has perspective and she's like, she's got a husband, two kids, you know, stable family life in Austin, Texas. And I think she appreciates that, but I do also think there's at least from talking to her for a little while. There was, you know, what could have what could have been, you know? Those questions, which are natural. Well, I feel like this is a good segue to talk about the YouTube video that hooked me finally into subscribing to her channel, which was hold on. I need to find the exact wording because no one doesn't expect headline like Christy Carlson Romano. They put a lot of analytics into that. We are going to talk about that because I have come away from all of this just convinced she's a genius. I didn't think that was gonna be my takeaway when I started digging into the world of CCR, but. Well, the world of CCR, God, that's a good time. I watched that show. Very different. No, but the video in question is entitled how I lost princess diaries to Anne Hathaway. I had a feeling of how to say that. Immediately. It's sort of these fantasia like what if fugue stance that she goes on? That are so incredible to watch. Sometimes the center doesn't hold. You're giving a video with a title and then the premise we don't deliver on what the premises and even Stevens taping ran long and she didn't make it to her audition. And because of that, she was not the titular princess and her life did not change. And she doesn't have an Oscar now, and we can track all of that. Did Jesse but Britney Spears one, like that is the one that really sums up the one that is describing what y'all are doing talking about, which is that I went in thinking, oh, she knows Britney Spears. And then ten minutes later, I'm just like, what the fuck did I just watch? Yeah. It's so crazy. It's so funny. And it's honestly it's so smart, guess who is trending all last week because of the conservatorship hearings, Britney Spears. Guess who we get a video about? Pretty spears. Is there really any specific take story that goes with Kristi girls Romano and Britney Spears? Absolutely not. No. Rachel, you brought up an interesting point that Chris, I want to talk to you about from your piece, which as you said, Rachel, that it's a ten minute video. This is important, right, Chris? Yeah, that is by design. So the minimum length of time that a video on YouTube can include mid roll ads. So you know when you're watching YouTube video and just an ad pops up and you didn't really even know it was going to pop up. The video has to be the YouTube video that you're watching has to be ten minutes for that to happen. Very specifically, all of our videos are ten minutes and two seconds, ten minutes and 9 seconds if you're really lucky. Ten minutes and one second. And she's very forthcoming about that. She says, yeah, that's very intentional. She is a full marketing genius, but so this isn't this era of Chrissy Carlson Romano's YouTube career. It's not her first foray into it. And I'm curious to see whether you could kind of describe the differences between her first YouTube videos and what we are now describing which are these ten minute walk through that Austin Woods. Moments. Yeah, so the YouTube channel actually started as a cooking show. It was like in the kitchen with Christy Carlson Romano. And she would specifically invite other Disney stars. And by stars, I do mean sort of people that you would recognize people like, what's their name again? You know, and she said, and our phone call that she invites she invited a lot of Disney stars and Nickelodeon stars into former child stars and a lot of them said, no, because they weren't really trying to distance themselves from that era of their lives. They're not really ready to look back and sort of confront what had to be and absolutely. I have to imagine, it must have been sort of a tricky hard sometimes really great sentence really bad period of their life. So yeah, it's funny because it started out as a way more produced production of a cooking show and what they discovered. I mean, the pandemic, bam hit, you can't do that. I can't have and then the whole show had to just be totally reconceived and it turns out that actually what hits in our TikTok age is just, you know, a woman walking and talking about the past directly to camera. Chris, what would you say was the chief emotion you were feeling towards Christie while having this conversation? And was it different than what you thought you were going to feel coming in? Yeah, I don't know. The first word that came up is, and I guess this might say something because I don't feel this all the time, but empathy. I just sort of felt for her in a way. Hearing about all these experiences and hearing her sheer excitement, I mean, she took the phone call while she was getting her hair done to do the cover of Austin life. Magazine, and she was like, I'm gonna be on the cover. She was so excited. And as we all sort of, I think the Internet knows. The Internet can be a cruel play is closer has changed a lot in the last 20 years, ten years, ten minutes, even. And we're all looking at these videos and we're definitely kind of laughing. And I think that's okay. I think they are funny. She knows. She knows. And she knows that we're laughing and it's and while it might sometimes feel like we're laughing at her. I do think we're actually laughing with her because I do think she's on the joke and she understands where she is, and she's happy to be there. I do think she's genuinely thrilled at this moment that she's arrived at. And I'm happy.

Today we are joined by Chris Murphy a staff writer of Vanity Fair who recently wrote a story about the romantic sense as I've been calling it. The YouTube renaissance of Christy Carlson Romano. Chris was so excited you're here. Wow, that's amazing. Ramona since I haven't heard that, the renaissance romanes. It really works, I love that. I feel like there's only one appropriate question to open up this conversation and it is, in fact, what is the sitch with Christy Carlson Romano? Yeah. I think having talked about her on the phone for the better part of an hour I'd have a better answer to that. She seems great. She seemed like she loves Austin, and she seems genuinely really happy with the path and the road that she is walking down those wooded hills of Austin. She's like, she's really, she seems really happy with the YouTube channel and where she's headed, which is a really beautiful thing in a way. So you did the little Kim possible beep, but we must ask, what's your history with Christy Carlson Romano? Did you grow up watching her? No, so it's so funny because I literally that was my black woman BlackBerries. That was my BlackBerry ringtone. I was one of those kids. I loved Kim possible so much that I have. And it was really cool, honestly, people were very impressed whenever my phone went off. I would then impress if you brought that out. In high school, like, well after, you know, the Kim possible era. But yeah, I will say I always had a fascination with I was gonna say Kim possible. With Christy Carlson Romano and the rules that she played ran Stevens and Kim and cadet Kelly, she always sort of like occupied this space as sort of like a really smart, tough sort of like no nonsense chick that you didn't really find on Disney Channel. She liked to read books. She was kind of a nerd and that was kind of cool, but she was pretty, and she could sing really well. And as Madison as we go way back, I'm a big musical theater guy. She's the dream. She got to go to Broadway after all that. She got to go to Broadway after all that. And she got, you know, and I used to see that commercial of her as Belle in Beauty and the Beast play over and over again. So I was really, I thought she occupied sort of like an interesting space in the Disneyland escape for me that I couldn't really, you know, that Lindsay wasn't doing in Hillary wasn't doing the girls weren't doing it like Christy Carlson Romano backed in the early aughts, okay? So I was definitely a fan going into it, but you know, I definitely before the YouTube came back, it wasn't really paying attention to what she was up to. All right, pop quiz, we went to.

"I'm a media talk about this for a while, and I'm finally ready to talk about it. So here's what it's like. Working for the Disney Channel. Hi, I'm Madison lind kercher. And I'm Rachel Hampton and you're listening to I see why I'm. In case you missed it, slate's podcast about Internet culture. Rachel, do you ever think about a path you didn't take in life? How one decision can just change your future forever? I'm sorry. Is this that one poem that ends up on Instagram all the time where it's two paths and a yellow wood or some shit? What one poem? Do you mean Robert Frost? I knew his first name was Robert, but I couldn't get to the last name. Yes, yes, I am thinking about two roads that have diverged in yellow wood. And I took the one less traveled, and that has made all the difference. There we go. Today I'm thinking about how different my life would have been if I had started the princess diaries. Was that an option presented to you? Am I missing some deep lore? No. But that's basically argument made by one former Disney Channel legend Christy Carlson Romano in a now viral YouTube video that I have watched like 15 times. Sometimes people are like, Chris, your motto, and has a way. They're the same person. I can assure you that we are not. But isn't the kind of crux of that video I've heard about this video from you so many times because all you keep saying is she didn't even audition. Yeah, and that has made all the difference. On the show today, though, we are going to be talking with Vanity Fair staff writer Chris Murphy about his recent profile of one Christy Carlson Romano, the former Disney Channel star who has recently ran to her the spotlight as a kind of prominent YouTuber. We'll talk to Chris about what it was like talking to her. How her YouTube presence fits into the broader YouTube landscape and what's changed about her life since growing up Stevens, even Stevens? Growing up in the Disney machine. But first, who is Christy, Carlson Romano? Well, if you missed it, I would like to know more about your childhood, but remodels career started relatively early in her life as in at the age of 6. She began acting. But most people in the millennial generation became aware of her when she started in the Disney channels even Stevens opposite one Shia LaBeouf. What are you doing back there? Um. Just hanging out. How could you? I have a reputation at school. Well, not anymore. How am I supposed to show my face there again? Um? May I suggest plastic surgery? This is a new low. Even for you, Louis. She's also the voice of Kim possible. What are you eating? Taco meets Nacho, I call it the naco. I call it gross beyond reason. Do you want them? Iconic. And she appeared in the Disney Channel original film slash queer text cadet Kelly with Hilary Duff. I'm sorry. Did I accidentally snatch this ratty old thing away from you? In my experience, people snatch accidentally. And it's not ready. It is now. And keep it out of my barracks. Why would you do something like that? My bad. You must be captain stone. You're on my list. Maggot. Even Stevens premiered in the year 2000, just to give you a little bit of context for when Christy Carlson Romano's Disney career really blew up. But as so happens with child stars, she kind of just faded away. Until very recently, when her YouTube videos started going viral with headlines like why I no longer talk to Shia LaBeouf. Everybody always asks me this question. If we're still in touch, we're still friends. To be honest, I don't even really know if we were ever really Friends, but we were coworkers. We had this sort of like very good on screen chemistry. People assumed that we were in real life. Or how alcohol almost ruined my life. Or how Katy Perry got my record deal. Honestly, how could you not click? I did. And so did a lot of other people, including our guest, Vanity Fair's Chris Murphy. After the break, we're going to get into all of that with Chris. Why Christy Carlson Romano is having a resurgence, her life after childhood stardom, and how she became something of a YouTube evil genius.

There was supposed to be a stunt double who got shot and falls and like it is falling on the concrete and crawling and blah. 'cause that's technically stunt. The stunt double shows up to set and he's wearing a different suit than i am and i think technically like you know they didn't know how they would. Maybe they would have to delay day or something like that That's huge amounts of money and inconvenience like you ruin the suits work. There was like a custom sued so it wasn't like they could just like men's warehouse. I was like i can do. This can fall and you know. Do the stunt. I was a child gymnast.

Why accessibility is having its moment in tech and Hollywood
"You took a look at how the issue accessibility has advanced this year. Time companies individuals and communities really begun embracing the need to be more diverse. What did you find. let's start with entertainment world. what did you find there. Yeah so the world of entertainment has been lagging because people with disabilities make up twenty six percent of the us adult population but there are only on screen less than three percent of the time. So there's already a huge issue there but slowly. It seems that. Hollywood is kind of waking up to this issue and we saw shows like romney on hulu start to you know that show has incorporated a disabled character from the start. Even disney channel's big city. Greens had american sign language representation so slowly shows are kind of starting to realize that. This is not a niche thing. This is something you can tell stories about people with disabilities that everyone will be interested in it. And so you see kind of more companies in more Movies on tv shows characters and also creators hind the scenes with disabilities. And what was the catalyst behind this. This dr there's obviously been a lot of a lot more recognition for the need for for beverage vote in more diverse look at portrayal of the world. But i don't know if there's any particular catalysts who point to the that's helped really sparked this change yet there definitely has been a lot of advocacy for s their groups like respectability which essentially works to make sure that they are diverse. In accurate portrayals of people with disabilities on screen. So they've kind of been constantly pushing for this but there's also a financial aspect to this as well so there was a twenty six twenty sixteen report by nielsen which said that consumers with disabilities in addition to their families friends and associates they make up a trillion dollar market segment. Trillion with a t. And so. that's that's massive and when you're hollywood You take note of that as does every industry and so you know when you realize the financial gain as well as the fact that this is just the right thing to do and people are becoming more vocal about it People will start to take notice. It takes time. But i think we're we're finally starting to get there yet so it's always interesting. How businesses framed this as an altruistic thing but really in the end it really takes money in a financial incentive to drive this. Come change right. Yeah absolutely i mean it. It's it's of the truth of our world but if something has financial gain than they are more likely to listen and so it becomes not only. This is the right thing to do but this is what smart for us to do as a company right so in terms of the organizations leading the charge. Here i mean if you could who are the folks that you've talked to. That have been really proactive about making sure. Accessibility community has a voice. And what are they saying about the progress being made yes. The the first one that i had mentioned was respectability which which honestly does incredible work with you know. They have labs where they allow creators with disabilities to kind of build up skills directing skills writing skills. Whatever it may be And also connections with people in the industry because connections are everything And so they're they're also starting to see that. This is something that is slowly starting to dawn on people in hollywood that okay. This is something that is necessary. This is not just a nice to have. This is needed. If you're going to represent america if you're going to represent the population of the world you have to include people with disabilities that includes not just people in roles that are portraying someone with a disability but just like a normal rule where somebody is a character that is part of the story like that that is necessary to notch. This token is character And then we also have the blacklist which has something called the disability list which it highlights on produced scripts that have at least one lead character with a disability. And so that's great as well and then there's also on the tech side of things or something called the tech disability project which essentially works to make sure that supports Yes ceo's and people who work in tech inhabit disability in kind of shines a light on people there as well

Were about to get a big glimpse into Disney Pluss future
"Has been having a huge year and the company is poised hold investor meeting on thursday. To preview with the service will look like in twenty twenty one so joe. what are you expecting. Yeah we're gonna get pretty much the the layout of where disney plus goes from here. That could mean a number of things but surely it's going to mean that we get a better sense of what programming is going to be coming to disney. Plus next year as well as how i think disney is going to kind of officialize the role that disney plus plays only in the pandemic in these extraordinary circumstances but even after the pandemic when Things have whenever that may be when things go back to semi normal the role that streaming generally is gonna play four disney's entire operation. Everything that it touches on. That's a good because it seems like over this last year that they've been making some moves to really position busy plus as the core It's really the future for this company. Yeah you know. That's one of the kind of question marks that we're going to be answering not weather streaming is important disney because they've said that they're going to realign television programming infrastructure around the idea that streaming is the primary focus Disney of course. Everyone knows it for movies in the marvel movies and stars and for parks but it also owns. Abc broadcast network of course disney channels espn. So we know that streaming is going to become the central programming tenant of how it approaches the content that it creates but we don't know is whether disney plus is going to be there numero uno primary focus considering that they also have espn plus and hulu as other streaming services in addition to streaming service india. And so i think this event has also been answered. The questions do do they continue to have three services that operate separately in the us. Do they wrap them all into one. And have you know a giant. Do they make it into more closely net bundles. we really don't know how they're going to be. Approaching streaming given that they have three services and have said that stream is going to be such a high priority. Going forward gotten and this year saw the launch of peacock discovery plus. Hbo max and of course the dearly departed qube. How did how does he plus or stand above this crowded field because for me seem like it was one of the clear winners this year. Nobody came close to disney. Plus i mean no. That's not only in this past year when there have been when there's been such a frequency of new services launching like even any services launch before disney plus no service has had as explosive a rollout as ni plus has and. There's a lot of reasons for that. And we can get into it but really at this point disney plus it at about one year since its launch it hits seventy three million subscribers. Now that's still a far cry away from netflix. Which is you know head and shoulders way ahead of everybody. At almost two hundred million subscribers will ride but the things to keep in mind our disney got to seventy three million in one ear and they also did it when other services that have been rolling out. Got to maybe eight million got to In the case of Be did so poorly that they shuttered could be shuttered in like six months. Seven months It's not it's not like you show up and watch a streaming service and you're guaranteed to just you know attract wasps and parades of people. It's really hard to do but disney has compared to anybody else that's launched a new streaming service. It's done leagues better than any anybody any other. That has come before. Normally i mean a lot of that has to do with the mandalorian. The buzzer baby. Yoda starwood a general marble is. It's other big franchises. And we've yet to see any real real program yet. We will come january one vision in terms of this investor event. We can we expect to see more out of one vision as well. Some of these other big mar marvel products coming down the pike. Yeah i mean. We don't know exactly what they're going to be showing but you can expect that we're going to get some something about one of which is coming up on january fifteenth. It's going to be released on disney. Plus i'm sure they're gonna want to show off footage from that to get people excited about it. We might have questions answered about when the other marvel original series. These are the movies like these are the shows like one division that are tightly-knit within the marvel cinematic universe the same actors that play characters in the movies are playing those characters on the series. And we still don't know when the falcon and winter soldier show is going to be coming. We don't want no win. The low key shows coming. There's a hawkeye show coming. And then there's a whole slate that goes even beyond that that we don't have any details on so in terms of just specifically marvel. I'm sure we're going to get a lot of updates on that. Were the other big story in streaming last week. Was when hbo max came out and dropped the bomb said all its warnermedia films in twenty one films like suicide squad in dune will drop on the service. Same day as theorist It's endemic related. So they're extraordinary circumstance surrounded. What do you think that means the industry. And how do you think dizzy I think that disney probably already had a game plan in place about what they're gonna do for their gigantic big budget. Tentpole movies next year The question is whether or not they adapt that plan based on the fact that a week before what that plan was going to be announced this thursday no matter what and the question is one week before that event when hbo and warner brothers announced that not only will they be releasing all their all their movies next year on streaming also gonna make it free with no extra cost on each hbo. Max so you don't have to pay for example with disney plus the structure. They kind of set out that they might do. Is there milan. Release when the live action. Updates and milan couldn't really be released in theaters in the traditional blockbuster style way They released it on disney plus the same day that it wasn't theaters but they charged an extra thirty dollar fee in order to stream it so it was available what's known as day that's win streaming home video and theatrical release are at the same time it was available day and date but you had to pay a lot more money to get it what disney has said. And what did you see. Yo- hinted is that they've learned a lot from that milan release and they expect to give us. Give everyone an update. On what what. They called premier access. What that's gonna look like going forward. Will that mean that. They'll continue to stick with this thirty dollars. Price point will that mean that they've they're going to release only their biggest biggest biggest movies with an extra fee. Or are they gonna follow suit from. Hbo and just say hey. We're not gonna make you charge a fee at all. We're going to put it on disney plus for everyone to watch as soon as available. We just don't know exactly those details. But i'm sure we're going to get some clarity about what expect with all these movies. That people are really missing. That three dollar from along was announced stirred up a controversy. A lot of the gut reaction was. Why am i paying three dollars on top of this attraction fee. But they've actually talked about this. Maybe you know more. But we got an indication. Powell moulana actually did that was actually a blueprint for success or Dollar seated scare people. This i mean this question. Touches on one of the frustrating elements about movies like milan or like a marvel movie going to streaming. And that's you know we. It's a black box in a way it's not entirely blackbox. But it's not like when a movie is in theaters. Those box office reports. You know you can't fudge You can't lie about them and he can't keep them secret either like it's just like out there. People know if a movie tanked or movie was a smash success because it's we have those metrics but when something goes straight to streaming we don't know we don't really know except for what disney has told us and i haven't told us anything specific about how in london they've general things that tech companies from the tech world. They'd like to say like we're very pleased with the response and delighted customers and blah blah blah blah blah. But that doesn't really tell us what their expectations were and whether or not milan exceeded expectations or failed to reach them. Not any native nice for for this thursday event if they're tuning or they're looking forward to seeing a flood of trailers or sneak peeks into these upcoming shows any advice for them or or warning. These things tend to be more investor. Focus at what. what are you expecting. Or what can these folks expect. Yeah it'll definitely be. It's an investor day and if passed is any precedent than it'll be a very long presentation. Maybe not as long as i don't know we're used to apple presentations with gone for like what feels like four years so it's going to be a long presentation but there will be designed for an audience of analysts investors and press And so it's not meant to be a consumer events that said even though there will be an emphasis on things like projections for Subscriber growth and like you know what is it are words that like normal people don't care about at all this is disney like show business is their business and they know how to impress people.

Because you know as a you know Independent moviemaker here in austin texas outside of hollywood itself. It's it's cool to have your work seen around the world expr- especially when it was a. It was a tough hill to climb so to speak to get the film ned. Well we'll get more into that in a second but so how. How did you get into the movie making business.

Tightening your belt? How to decide which streaming TV service to cancel.
"With me, senior editor Shelby Brown who was a nice run down to the various streaming services out there, and why should drop each one of them? Thanks for joining me shelby. Thanks for having me again so before we get into the different services We can get the details in a bit Do you have any general suggestions for how you would approach things when you know balancing your budget with all these various streaming services because? For a lot of people, there are different shows that we like. Those shows are found on different services. So there's no. There's no one size fits all options. So, what would you suggest a folks? Generally looking at this landscape. I. Definitely examined why you want that service Aaron. What's appealing to you about that service Lake I had to stop myself from immediately subscribing to HBO. Max Number One just because of the giant explosion of publicity around it when it first came out and kind of the the foam. Oh the fear of missing out I think that can be a big drought services. Especially the new wines I can imagine. That's GONNA. Be when peacock comes out. They'll be a huge drama that 'cause It's new and attractive, but with HBO Max I wanted to subscribe to it. Because, I immediately fell in love with their classic films collection, but I have to ask myself if that's all that I am going to watch, there is always stat worth my money so i. think that that's a question that you should ask yourself before you subscribe to something Dutch. I think that's a that's a good concept to keep in. Mind is considering there are only so many hours in the day and so much time we have to watch stuff so even if in principle it's something you WanNa. have access to your right. It may not be something you'd necessarily need. so let's let's. Let's run through the different service. Let's start with the granddaddy of the mall in the one that is basically ubiquitous, and that's net flicks. It almost is it conceivable to drop athletes. Are there reasons why you'd WanNa? Drop this service on. I think that Netflix's kind've where we started with that. You know binging idea, and whether actively watching it or it's just on for background noise of course there are Netflix's originals which typically Garner a lot of buzz on social media like tiger king came out recently so mostly I think if you're not interested in staying on top of new shows, Netflix's might not be for you or watching the old classics like the Office or Parks and recreation or win. Friends was on there before Hbo Max. And, some of those shows have disappeared from Netflix so that you Kinda lose access to some of that old library. Right All right well, what about Disney plus? As simple as it sounds. I think you should access me, plus you're not into Disney or marvel. Disney plus is a mistrial Jake ride with the vaulted films and the Disney channel original movies from the late nineties early two thousands, and the Buzzword, the original shows Lake Amanda Laurean and the Star Wars films again the marvel films, but again if you're not a fan of the Disney or the marble films, you might not want to invest Disney plus. That's the thing. There could be something he said about subscribing to the services. Timed with shows. You love right like what we know. The mental Lawrence coming back with. Subscribe to it for Laurie Withdraw Fortunately for one of the for these services, there are like cancellation fees. It's not as sticky as it used to be with cable service. You can hop on hop off and that's that that's a good benefit. You can sort of time out if you really want to be strategic about it. These different services right and we've seen those trends win. Game of thrones was on with with HBO. We would see the spike in the viewership. Go up right before the season started, and then we would see plummet after this season would go off so. That and as transition HBO match what? Why would you WANNA keep. Why would you WANNA trump? Hbo Max Hbo Max Really came out swinging at lines with a huge catalog. Of TV shows movies. Its price is on the higher side though compared to other services. It's fifteen dollars a month. so I win necessarily invest in Matt if you're looking for more budget, friendly option an. An Hbo Max Might Not Be the one that you want to subscribe to. Because you can't stream HDR, yet or on Roku or Amazon devices, but it's still new, so that could change in a couple of months or next year. The Amazon Prime Video Amazon. Prime video is kind of a two for one because you get the discount with ecommerce site as well. The platform more centered around movies that you can rent by watch for free but the service definitely puts a focus on its original shows like flea, bad marvelous Mazel and modern love, so if you're more fan of mainstream TV shows, you might WanNa drop trends at you. This is like the one that is kind of default to your point. Right like I am a prime member because I did the shipping services and the videos Kevin Extra. About who is probably one of the more pure play, TB streaming services out there I. who if you don't care about keeping up with? The current mainstream shows one of my favorite parts about the service is. how quickly uploads new episodes after the air on cable, but you can also get the live TV plan for fifty five dollars a month that acts like a capable replacement to watch shows in real time. A downside to that for example, if you wanted to catch up on all the seasons of Grey's anatomy, only season sixteen available on Hulu whereas all the seasons are available on Netflix, so that's kind of a catch, and then lastly apple. TV Plus Apple TV plus has a lot of original shows that were a significant drought of the service like the morning show and. You can like all your streaming services to your apple TV apple TV plus doesn't have a library of license chosen movies. It all so doesn't always release full seasons of shows at one. So, J, if none of the new shows clear interest after the fruit trial. Don't keep it. I subscribed to TV plus for the free trial and watched the servant. I thought it was really good. I'm probably will pick it back up when a second season comes out, so that's always option.

Inside VOICE
Marketing Tips for Voice
"Voice is always something people talk about and struggle with yes. What is your perspective on this? How do you do it? Yeah so I guess I'll back up and say I come from a marketing background. And that's what I studied at Emerson College which is also in the voice scene which is very exciting to me here presenting and I worked at my first job was actually at Disney channel in marketing. And so that was my first foray into the field of entertainment and really learning how to market to a specific audience. So I spent I was actually at Disney for five years between Disney channel on. Espn and really getting that. Like well rounded experience their portfolios obviously massive and their marketing is like no other obviously globally so about five years ago I shifted into a creative development for social platforms and working with brands and influencers creators on social media that have huge followings and kind of driving those experiences across platforms and putting brands friend center of like the conversation on social as we know today like the tick tock most recently or I just saw pinterest or snapchat and there's all these like all these different platforms that people are creating content on reach mass audiences. And that's the area that I'm really interested in his putting brands into that conversation strategically and making it Finding emotional connections with audiences that resonate So that's where I say. They're excited yes. I think there's such a huge opportunity as I'm sure a lot of people do here To put more of course I party skills and the platforms. That voice assistance are on in front of these audiences but also third party skills obviously So yeah I'm super interested to learn more in here. Everyone here talking about it and and find the way in for people to discover more skills through cross platform strong. Yeah and so. Can you give us some either some tips or things that you've done personally or with companies and how you've been able to kind of market some new voice skills or flash briefings within social? Yeah absolutely so. I think first and foremost and I've heard a lot of people talking about this. Like being user myself of different voice platforms so essential because also prize myself. Sometimes and I'm like well like I didn't even have to think twice about like lifting my risk and asking Siri for like remind me to Xyz. So I do have. I have the echo show five on my desk. And that's kind of my go-to throughout the day For more so than like a Google search would be now so that's been really interesting just from like a consumer standpoint myself and I think is such a big part of like the creative development processes looking at your own habits and what market you fit into So that's been super interesting But back to your point in regards to content development on social media if I'm working with a brand or a client or a crater for that matter it's it's looking really deeply at their analytics and what drives the most engagement. Whether it's you know the most used they've got in or the most comments that a post received and what really resonated with their audience and diving into that niche an understanding the science behind why that resonated with people and then how to recreate that with other formats or other platforms to either reach the audience or expanded even further. Yeah that makes a lot of sense I think yeah looking at the data where people at what are they doing? How do you adjust that you were talking earlier about kind of creating emotional connections which? I am very much a fan of as well. How do you think somebody should do that? When it comes to creating a voicemail. That's a great question so and I guess it makes sense that my career started at Disney because speaking of emotional connections I grew up going to visit my family in Florida and going to Disneyworld families. So it's funny that I ended up working there That was like my lifelong dream so coming from that experience. I think it's getting to the root of what Your brand or your message really is and knowing not inside and out and then why that will attract consumers and connect them to your brand or message So I guess I could talk about Chop Chop which is the scale idea which is adorable. So yes you made. A skill called Chop Chop. Tell us about first off why you started it and kind go through and how it pertains to what you're talking about now. Yeah so this was back in early. Two thousand eighteen and Amazon did the life hacks challenge so that's initially how I caught wind of Even developing on this platform so I did have a Developer PARTNER THAT WE TEAMED UP. Shout out to John G so there's so many pieces that go into thinking about how to create a skill and developing it so for this life tack challenge. It's it's almost a little bit easier when you're put into a box to think outside of it. I know that's like cliche sort of like direction. A little bit of direction this not that go so when it came to life hacks you know being in the kitchen you your hands are messy when you're cooking you don't necessarily want to be having your ipad or your device or computer for that matter over the sink and I found myself in that position so many and obviously youtube is a huge resource for looking up. Like how do? I chop onion to get this exact dice that my recipe calls for or whatever it might be. So we've really said okay. The multi modal device the echo spot at the time was what we were working with the kitchen and we said it would be great if we could just say like. How do I chop up onions? Or what's the proper way to kind of mango or with these things that when your hands are messy? It's like you just want that information real quick so we We produce this scale chop chop. Did you cut up different fruits and veggies and the really exciting part was doing the visual element because both of us come from a content production background so we made in the dining room literally. We set up a production a small production studio and produced like over seventy five video. And I'm actually chopping the fruits and veggies like between the two of us. We really made every piece of this skill so we were fortunate to have the wide range of skill sets needed to cover the ground but it was over one hundred fifty hours of work that went into this so a lot of hard work and love into it but were super happy with the product. I still love talking about it. Obviously and I encourage people to use it at home and when they're cooking in the

The Nine Sticks feat. Nikesh Patel and Maulik Pancholy
"I'm Rebecca Sheer and welcome to circle round or storytime happens all the time today. Our story is called then nine sticks versions of this tale companies. I'm from the South Asian country of India where it's one of many legends featuring beer ball a wise adviser to an emperor long ago Some really great people came together to bring you our adaptation of this Folk Tale including Kesh Patel and mullick potentially grownups ups you might recognize Nikisch Patel from four weddings and a funeral on Hulu. And you know Molly controlling from thirty rock on NBC and Vincent for on the Disney Channel. He's also the author of the new young adult novel. The best added a circle around everyone for the nine sticks. So as the highest ruler in the land the emperor resided in a spacious Chris Stone Palace with throngs of obedient servants and so many riches and treasures. It would take all one thousand of his elephants elephants to carry them the emperor's most precious riches and treasures or his jewels glittering gold crowns sparkling Ling silver anklets radiant ruby earrings. The glistening gems were so dear to the emperor that he kept them locked away in a cavernous vault hidden beneath the palace. Only ten people had a key to that vault the emperor himself plus nine attendants who had a very very special job. Every time the emperor wished to wear a piece of jewelry be it a glimmering necklace. I want my emerald doc pendant the one shaped like a peacock or a shimmering bracelet. How about those polling crusted bangles? They looked glorious with this new robe he would call one of his nine attendants to go and fetch it to get to the vault. The attendant had to push through a secret hole in the wall. Then they had to run down a hidden set of stairs and unlock a heavy steel door. Once they entered the vault they would seek out which ever jewel the emperor desired. Bring it back to the great rulers chamber. Then help him put it on as he admired himself in the mirror. My mind marvelous marvelous absolutely marvelous. One day the emperor decided he would wear a thick gold ring. Set with a dazzling diamond into the size of an apricot. The ring had been passed down in his family from generation to generation and the emperor considered it to be his greatest best treasure so he asked one of his nine attendance to fetch the ring from the vault but when the attendant came back the great ruler was flabbergasted flabbergasted to hear that the ring wasn't there what my greatest treasure is missing. Can't be that sin for another attendant. Let let them try so a second attendant journey to the vault to look for the ring and like the first attendant claimed it was nowhere to be found come. That ring. Didn't just get up and walk away due to that. Volt is as thick as the trunk of abundant tree. But then a third attendant reported the ring was gone seriously as did a fourth. You must be joking and a fifth. What all the way down to ninth? By now while the emperor was so exasperated. He threw his trembling hands in the air. This is unacceptable. Obviously you're not searching hot enough. I'll go down there and bring back the ring myself. So the emperor grabbed his key marched down to the ball and spent hours sifting fifteen through his vast collection of jewels until at last he collapsed in a heap. Go It's true. My greatest treasure sir is gone. There's only one thing left to do. Cool via Baugh. Beerbaum was the emperor's favourite advisor the wise is and witty man was famous for his razor sharp intellect and was the first person the emperor called whenever he had a problem. He couldn't solve a question he couldn't dancer or a puzzle. He couldn't crack as the emperor told the beer ball his latest dilemma. The shrewd advisor listened carefully scratching scratching his Chin and nodding his head by the time the emperor finished his story. Beer balls. Brilliant mind was already hard at work. uh-huh very interesting. Kindly remind me Your Imperial Highness. Who in this palace holds a key to the vault of Jules? Well I do of course plus my nine jewelry attendance and all nine of them gave their word that the ring isn't there. I understand understand that Sir but just because they gave you their word doesn't mean you have to take it. The emperor cocked his head. What do you mean? While I'm afraid to say it your Imperial Majesty. The airball leaned forward. But your ring has been stolen stolen stolen. The emperor's jaw dropped open. It can't be I'm afraid. Can and one of your nine jewelry attendance is the culprit. But leave everything to me Sir and you will see your greatest
