I wouldn't mind all the show promos if they were done efficiently and contained good teaser material.
But usually it goes something like this:
Pete: "Craig, what do we have coming up on the Universal show?"
Craig: "Um, I don't really know. Ah, we haven't figured it out yet. Ah, we'll come up with something."
Pete: "Ok... Ryno, what's coming up on DisPop this week?"
Ryno: 30 seconds of something incoherent.
Pete: "And moving right along, coming up in the
Disneyland show this week... oh, I didn't print out my script. Craig, do you have it?"
Craig: "Yes, I've got it here..." <sounds of fumbling through papers>
Ok, you get the idea. So my hot take is this: John always has his Travel show plug ready to go and does it well. The rest of the team should follow his lead. The original poster is correct in saying the promos are much longer than they need to be. You can tell John is prepared when they toss to him. The others - not so much. That said - their lack of polish and unprofessional production quality is, in fact, part of their charm. Hard to explain. Lou Mongelo is sooo polished and prepared and professional in his podcasts, yet it turns me off a little. Feels a little sterile and too bubbly.
So... everyone's right here. The housekeeping is too long. But we have to put up with it for the sake of the show dynamic.
Case closed. Thanks, everyone.
