    Oh! Thanks for this. I’ve been looking at all his Bashar videos but now we get to see Darryl as himself instead. Worked with Jack Webb? Omg. Wow. CGI is replacing so many skills that his miniatures specialty is turning into a niche job. AI is similar to the CGI evolution. Escape Rooms do remind me of that old board game Clue without the murders. As such, a single Escape Room could have multiple story arcs without changing the sets so folks could return and get a different experience each time. It’s interesting to discover the challenges Darryl experiences in contrast to his other career. Thanks.

I think he's a very sexy man (even at 74-years-old/ young). And I truly respect that he is such a family man and has been married to his wife since like 1982. 😁
