This is a different kind of post than what we have been seeing. Before I begin make no mistake , in general the things that have been reported that we all read or heard about , they are not okay or acceptable in any way. We all agree on that.
I am a long time listener since 2003, joining the Dis Boards a little later. We did the ol Podcast Cruise 2.0. Met some team memeber over the years as well as other listeners. These podcasts and boards have gotten me through some tough times when I needed a laugh.
I remember back in the day it was just audio. It was Bob , Pete , John , Kevin , Corey , and Miss Julie , and the good ol Prize-matron, lol. The laughs , the fun . I looked forward too it every week. The new members came and everyone has added a special element to the show.
When you belong to the something for so long and listen to the same people for 20 years, met some , talked with others . It really does start to feel like a little side “Dis Family. “. These people share and continue to share their lives with us. I remember Corey and Julie announcing when Ferris was born, now he’s all grown up. I also remember hearing of Bob’s passing. Is was so heartbreaking. I remember thinking how can I be so sad over the passing of someone I never met.? It’s because these folks have all been there for me when I was having a bad day I would get in my truck turn on some Dis because I knew in no time my tears would turn to laughter.
When something like this takes place, it’s sad. I was not there , I do not know what happened, what did not happen, but this is not what this post is about. I feel for every member of that team past and present to be going through this in general. It’s like watching a family fall apart.
It’s so sad to see all the hatred. People bashing everyone. I don’t know what went on with Pete or what did not or what he does or doesn’t have going on in his life. Folks can rant at this next part and say what they like but heads up …I give zero cares what folks think of my thoughts because , they are just that, mine. With all that’s going on I truly hope Pete is doing okay as well. Just as I do EVERY other team member that has ever sat in those chairs and all others that have been affected. It’s a sad situation for everyone . Period.
Maybe it’s because I been here for so long but you you don’t wish bad towards no one. Some listeners haven’t been around for very long and almost seem obsessed with stirring the fire and being so hateful, or laughing about it sending Memes . Like what???? These are peoples lives. Nothing about it is funny in my opinion. The name calling and such???? The world has sure changed. Never would you have heard folks be so cold 40 years ago. It’s sad. Which I mean do as u wish but to consume yourself with so much hate for something u are only reading about or listening about seems so odd. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but Jeepers , the hate ! I would think if one is so upset and disgusted they would just remove themselves and move on.
One thing that took me by surprise is so many being upset at John’s statement. That man could have said anything at all and some people would have still just been waiting to jump down his throat because he didn’t word things a certain way, or what they wanted. He said what he felt. Period. Some folks are so sensitive these days, my goodness.
People are going to say and do as they wish but I personally just hope the team and the Dis continue on to be successful. I know I have spoke a lot about the original team because I miss seeing them , but make no mistake the team that is here now is just as wonderful. So talented and fun. I always wonder when Craig gets the time to sleep. What a wonderful job they all do to bring us happiness and laughter in their own way each week. Walt always had faith in things forever changing. So I for one will support and embrace all and anything that is about to change. With that being said, I just wanted to say, I will never forget and always remember, all that my DIS Family has done for me when I was knocked down. Thank you for all the laughter over the years, even if it was only for an hour a week. Y’all made me feel like things were going to be okay. That’s what I remember. Wishing each and everyone of you the best.

. I’ve never stayed at the Swan before. Just about did last trip but still never checked that one off the list. I do like the location.
