The Modern Rogue my mom used to be custodian there and had to pick up a lot of ashes. Also In the roundhouse where they put the trains theirs a picture of Walt doing a weird hand signal
The Modern Rogue hey guys you should do a episode or more then one depending on what you find about cover ups or secrets that presidents have had since the first president till Donald frump I think that would be awesome episodes
Worked at Disney for a bit, here are a few other codes Code Black: Some one has died Alpha Unit: Ambulance If a character performer in a suit has a hand over their eye and a hand in the air, it means they are about to pass out Thanks Shanghai: Budget cuts due to Shanghai Disney opening
Hand over the eye for characters could mean any number of things as it is a general signal to their attendant that there is something wrong that needs to be handled.. One such instance I encountered while taking character photos was the skull cap the characters wear inside had slipped and seriously impaired their vision. The Attendant and character slipped backstage, fixed it, and were right back on set.
On the subject of the Viking runes, in the Hagia Sophia, built in 537 in Istanbul, Turkey, there were a set of Viking runes carved on the second floor, carved in approximately the ninth century. No-one ever removed them for over a thousand years, and in the 1970s they were finally translated. They said "Halfdan was here".
Technically the whole message was never completely legible, just the name, but experts on the matter widely agree that the message was likely "Halfdan drew these runes" which pretty much translates to halfdan was here lol

You guys should make a ultimate modern rogue course, where you put all your modern rogue knowledge to the test. Like you have to find dead drops, take down people with martial arts and nunchucks, get ride of the meat of the thing they stacked in rye, parkour, set and find bugs, find and place hidden cameras, try to solve a crime, all the things that you have ever covered in modern rogue just in a course
With Wal-Mart, as a former employee, there are two "hidden codes" we learn during orientation. B.o.b which as mentioned in the video is bottom of basket, but one not used as much is L.i.s.a, or look in side always(they spaced it out, not me), for items such as coolers or buckets with lids!
Cast members say “have a magical day” or they’ll say something related to the land they work at. However if a cast member says “have a Disney day” that mean f**k you. We had different codes that were used in different areas. So even though cast member language was almost universal (insert them park joke here) it depended on area. If you ever hear someone say “alpha” that means “emergency call police/fire/ems. Also not really a code but Disney uses military time because some people end up working 12 hour shifts. I was actually given a card that had all the codes for my specific area and I still have that card somewhere.
Yeah, can confirm. I've worked several Disney jobs and all areas have a different code for the same thing like needing to use the bathroom and what not. But they are universal for major problems: signal 25, signal 70, signal 4. It really is a language in a language. When I use to work a popular attraction the cast members could have full conversations by only saying numbers and hand signals.
@@Metalhammer1993, I used to work at Disney, and there WAS a code for ejaculate: milk spill. I now work in a grocery store and have ruined my coworkers in the dairy department by telling them that.
@@Metalhammer1993 Oh, I do. My coworkers regret asking me what the codes were, heh. Amusingly, there have been two incidents in the decade I've worked at the store where a customer has dropped an ENTIRE gallon of milk and had it explode everywhere. I was laughing way more than I should have been.
I used to work for Ikéa. Sofas are all named after larger Swedish cities. Tables are smaller town names. Product numbers recently changed, but until the early 2000s, the last two digits in the product code told you the colour/material of the finish. For example, 10 meant white. 05 meant pine. The first three identified the producer. The system was dropped because they ran out of numbers. The flagship Ikéa store in Sweden burned down once in the 70s and the company had developed a strong fire-awareness. Fire safety was an even bigger deal than loss prevention. "Code 1000" on the PA meant: "Fire. Evacuate everyone immediately."
That 'BOB' one really intrigued me! I love the idea that I could communicate freely like this under the guise of silly language, especially the Disney stuff.
Please. I know my Disney. "Operation J" wouldn't be so base and artless as pretending EPCOT is _closed._ No, Operation J simply entails _moving_ the Food and Wine Festival _constantly,_ but subtly; taking down and putting up ads and decorations as the world's slowest and most secret parade moves throughout the park. By the time Jason gets fed up and leaves, _he'll_ be 100% convinced that he just got the wrong day somehow and the _guests_ will never have noticed food stands, demonstrations, and souvenirs intermittently vanishing from their pavilions.
I used to work for a company that the main code we used was "Mr. Butler" which was used to indicate suspicion of a shoplifter. Best part about it though was I never questioned why it was called Mr. Butler or a Butler moment cause I thought it was reference to the old "It's always the butler!" trope in the older shows/movies when something goes missing. Turns out it was the actual name of the guy in the company who wanted to have some sort of code for a shoplifter, I liked my answer better.
"I've got a code Pooh in the play area, and Piglet's in the loose" My favorite ad-libbed Disney code from a reddit thread on Disney codes Should probably add the situation was a small child had pooped on the ground, and was running around with only a shirt on
I discovered your channel yesterday and I just want to go on record saying that you guys are better than the new mythbusters and should promptly take their place
Hey Jason. The Walmart code "Bob" is only part of the original code. The manager or CSM (customer service manager) would pass the code on by saying, "Did you see Bob & Lisa today?" Bob meaning of course Bottom of Basket (back then in the South it was Bottom of Buggy) and Lisa is an acronym for Look Inside Always. It was a shoplifting move to take something like a $12 mailbox that came inside a cardboard box, open it, take the mailbox out and fill the box with movies, music, cameras, or anything else then go through checkout paying for the $12 mailbox with hundreds of dollars of merchandise inside. Same goes for ladies purse or jackets. It's amazing how much electronic or jewelry you can stuff inside other things.
We've also got MITCH Merchandise In The Customer's Hand. It's surprisingly common people will just hold on to something rather than put it on the belt and it's incredibly deniable too because they haven't taken any steps to conceal it.
its sad that the one i work at im the only one who ever follows that, and thus get shit from customers complaining that no one else does, ive already caught one person trying to smuggle out a PSVR in a plastic tote through our self checkouts.
Had to do that in a arts and craft store for all the brown mache boxes for decoupage and sewing machine bags. No code just had to shake them or opened and have a look, caught so many people but also got so many angry offended customers. Glad I quit
Glad you’re enjoying it. We’re not scripted, but we do have bullet points we want to get to (and we edit out all the flubs, which maybe makes us sound a bit less natural). Welcome aboard!
So the Ikea catalogue tip would almost be helpful for me, because most all of us Finns are forced to study Swedish in school. The problem is I'm not at all good at it.
@@Tunkkis praise be unto him, yes! It was his videos that finally persuaded me to go into mechanical engineering. I wonder how much overlap there is between the channel fan-bases, seems like the humor is pretty similar.
At My current job the workers have developed a language consisting entirely of handsignals and head nods. We can have full conversations over the whole plant. You couldn't teach most of it, you have to learn on the go. It was crazy once I learned it. Plus My family used alcohol for coughs and teething troubles and I'm only 21 ._.
Are you sure it's not sign language? Are a lot deaf, or work with people that are hard of hearing at times? Is it loud on the plant, thus being difficult to understand what's being said in the first place?
@@imrosemahmood8512 I know it's not sign language, cuz I know sing language besides that... This place is a factory that's loud and everyone is wearing ear pro. Kinda hard to speak anyway. It's a lot simpler than american sign language and it gets the point across a lot easier. It's similar to call signs in baseball. And I use language loosely because this is really super simplified. I can ask things such as "How many left?" "When will you clock out?" "what are you doing after work?" and answer them as well. People can wave out "boss is checking in" or "Quality control is pissed" and my boss can give small schedule changes in it. Its not used all the time, but it's present
I trained my K9 in a code/language within a language of sorts. I chose an uncommon foriegn language, and used out of context random words, so that even if a speaker of the language hears it, they can't figure out her other commands. It would just sound like jibberish. An example in English would be "Bulldozer Frisbee Hill" to have her perform a specific task. Impossible to predict, or decipher unless you spent weeks with us, and heard the commands repeatedly...and were fluent in said foreign language. Good video!
Wait so this means Jason is new to all the incredible Disney theories? Please please please make a full video of Disney theories, they're so interesting!

The great thing about Modern Rogue is that you guys have such nice art design that you can hide things in plain sight and people think it's just part of the video.
I work at an amusement park during the summers and we have a code system similar to the signals Disney uses. It’s pretty common, especially for when people get sick and vomit, since we don’t want to basically announce that someone vomited on or near one of our rides. We have codes 1-6, ranging from injuries to ride malfunction to sickness, and even a joke Code 7 which is emotional support.
I really miss the days of the scavenger hunts for giveaways. They were really fun, they increased our decoding skills, and it gave us a chance to win some rogue gear. Bring them back please!
About 30 years ago some of my uncles were on our local first aid squad. Since the first aid building was near my parents' home, they would stay with us whenever they were on call. I remember listening to the plectron they would bring (basically a emergency services band radio) and hearing all of the mystical codes that would emanate from it. Around that time my dad was working for a major computer manufacturer and would carry around a device that he could send and receive digital text messages with to direct him toward clients that needed their computers serviced. Those text codes were also inscrutable to my young mind.
Funny thing about the vaporrub.... I'm an EMT and that's something that many advise we do for really bad smells, like a GI bleed or someone who doesn't have access to showers. Only problem is you're stuck with that smell for the rest of your shift. So far I've just breathed through my mouth only.

I used to work for Walt Disney Imagineering. Though I worked "behind the scenes" for the most part, I still learned some of the lingo. For example, being anywhere in the park where "guests" go, is called "On Stage". As the name suggests, being on stage, a Disney employee, specifically anyone who plays a role, must always stay in character. Hence, these employees were called "cast members". I was informed (though never personally confirmed) that a cast member dressed up (such as Mickey or Goofy etc.) are strictly forbidden from taking off their character's head anywhere on stage. Literally, not figuratively, it was better to puke inside the headpiece than to take it off. The color and emblems on the employee badges also had significance. I had a green "imagineer's" badge, which at the time (2003/2004) meant that I could theoretically visit the main Disney parks in the U.S. for free, but only by myself. The highest ranking badge I remember was a blue badge with a brown "football" emblem near the bottom. That indicated that the bearer was considered a "director" and could go on any Disney property with any guests (I don't recall how many were allowed but it was something like a dozen) for free. I suspect 15 years later much of the system has changed, particularly the badges, but it was very interesting when I was there. Not so much a secret code, but there are secret tunnels that honeycomb the parks. The reason for them is as simple as it is brilliant: to quickly move supplies to any area, at any time, without disturbing the guests. Or, if someone should get sick or injured (statistically out of millions of guests, at least some will have heart attacks, strokes, etc. along with minor sprains & cuts), they can be whisked away to the hospital much more quickly without having to disturb the other guests.
I worked at a place that used animal sounds as code. Bird calls when you needed to be busy, Lamb when you had kids and people you didn't want a lot of cursing around, and Barking when the unwelcome where there and you needed someone else to come take care of it
Now I don't know the legitimacy of this one. But Code street rat is for when there is a hostage situation at the park and the Aladdin actor is there to go rescue the hostages
There are codes on Cruise lines as well. Walmart has announcement code phrases. Disney has three codes I know of regarding suspected, or spotted drug, or alcohol in the park, or hotels. There is sub code for management regarding general staff incidents, like staff violating park policy. Cruise ships have codes for passenger medical emergencies. As a housekeeper, front desk, and then concierge at various hotels, and lodges I had to learn code that sounds like you are talking about mundane things, while relating actual things. But as a Carney.. oh.. as a Carney.. Doniker, "Hey Rube!" , "Stock my Prizes" , Feed your horse, ...
Funny you guys should mention grtting lost in Ikea. There's actually a fictional writing community on the internet called the SCP Foundation Wiki that writes stories (usually horror) about anomalous things that aren't real, but believably could be. It's all through the context of a shadowy organization that contains these anomalies and writes internal documentation about them. Well, SCP-3008 is an Ikea store that becomes infinite once you lose sight of the entrance. People trapped in there have formed rudimentary civilizations to survive. It's one of the most interesting pieces on the site, and one of the highest rated too. www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3008
You should do an episode about how companies aren't really who they say they are, how one parent company might own a bunch of others who publicly are competitors with different branding while being the same service run by a single group of people. Maybe also go into how they choose publicly trusted figures and cult celebrities who fit their particular brands and then pit them against each other to get their followers to compete with each other, usually through making them feel smarter for using a service that others aren't benefiting from. No reason...
pseudo gamer True, I completely forgot about the music business version of the fake rivalry. A lot of competing girl groups in my country had the same 3 people do their music/lyrics/choreography, most of it was made by the same producers in the same studio, just a different bunch of girls each week hoping to be the next spice girls. I only found that out because I met the person who wrote like half of the girl power pop music released over a decade and had a bunch in the top10 so they were understandably proud of their work.
Jason, I know y'all made this a while ago, but just thought it'd be something you'd wanna know (if you already don't). 5:40 There is a creepypasta-ish tale of an IKEA that is literally infinite and people disappear into it from other dimensions and never get out. The experience of getting lost in an IKEA is so widespread and relatably terrifying that this (SCP-3008) is one of the top pages on the SCP site, right up there with a super-fast killer statue (before weeping angels), an experimenting plague doctor, and a world-ending lizard. Not trying to push any of this like a fanboy or anything, the ikea one is seriously just a good story I think you'd like.
The Statue is SCP-173, the Plague Doctor is SCP-049, and the Hard To Kill Lizard is SCP-682. Just for anyone wanting to know the other 3 SCPs referenced in the comment.
Scp foundation wiki isn't creepypasta... those are two completely different things. One is a message board for 10 year olds with no writing skill to come up with stupid "scary" stories. The other is a wiki website filled with supernatural items, people, creatures, and places with about the same writing skill put into it.
The stuff about the viking runes reminds me of the graffitis in Pompeii. It was mostly just trashtalk, the same that a bored teenager would write in his highschool bathroom.
Ah, we had "bob" at our grocery store too when I was in high school. It's short for "bottom of basket". One of my coworkers would say, "for the love of Bob..." semi-loudly but make it look like it was to herself to hint to other people that they need to check if there's stuff under the cart.
The video titles keep making me think you guys are about to go off the deep end into full-on conspiracy territory, but then you keep getting me learnified and full of smartitude.
One note about the bottles on Melrose Place: the bottle that says "For Children" next to the crashed car is a mock up of a Jagermeister bottle. When it was first sold it was a cough syrup, and it's still sold that way in Europe.
A podcast , modern rogue podcast where you talk about con men or about yellow kid Weil or how to psychologically prepare for a battle through art of war and 48 laws of power
Cash converters used blacksmith to replace the numbers 0-9 so staff could see how much they paid for an item so they knew how much discount they could give without making a loss. Also calling mr burns or mr sands are both tannoy announcement to let staff know there is a fire in the build (one was used in a shopping centre and one in an airport)
The Modern Rogue is based in Texas, as such applies to Texas time. "A couple months ago" can be anywhere from 2 months to 5 years in length. Just as "a couple days" can be 2 days to 2 months.
When I worked at a medical office, we called asshole patients "star patients" and would put a star on their chart if they were repeats. The hotel I work at now uses "treasured guests"
Former Disney Cast Member here. Worked at Disneyworld for a year. It might be a Disneyland thing but we never said "treasured guest". The real phrase is "Have a Disney Day!" or "Have a magical night!" said sarcastically. Customer is accurate. Also princesses cannot say "I play Cinderella!" they have to say "I'm friends with Cinderella!" Also agree Food and Wine is the shit!
You guys missed a trick at Disney. On the ride where there are long lines and the “theme” of the ride allows writing messages on the ride in symbols or runes, there are actual messages there for you to decode. The ones I specifically recall are the Indian Jones Temple ride and Space Mountain, but there has to be more.
The hidden tv show props cannot happen now on tv without finding out instantly. Someone will realize the props now and post what they saw on Reddit instantly being found out.
not to mention that back then , an OTA TV signal wasn't even comparible to 360p , so you couldn't even see those details unless the object was in a close-up shot. I'm sure they egotisticaly fancied themselves as being "so clever" , but how does it matter if only someone ON-SET could see them ? With today's HD , ok now you CAN have some easter-egg fun !
when it comes to the disney/pixar codes, Supercarlinbrothers has made several videos about the codes and eastereggs there, both from the disneyparks and from the movies.
My parents used to drive taxis and my dad told me they had three different ways of saying that they were on their way from point A to point B that they could use when communicating with Dispatch. One of those phrases was just normal transmission of information conveying that they were on their way to a location and, yes, they could pick up someone from near there when finished. The other two phrases alerted the company if the client was going to be a problem - one meant "send support", the other meant "send police". All the phrases sound perfectly normal, all convey where you're going and how soon you expect to be there - which is perfectly normal information for a cab driver to convey to their company. Dad told me of how he picked up a passenger one night and, _en route_ to the destination, it became clear that the passenger was belligerent and had no intention of paying the fare. Dad waited until Dispatch put out a general call for a driver to pick someone up and radioed back that he was taking someone to a particular location and would be able to make the pick-up after he finished. When they got to the destination, the passenger was about to get out of the taxi without paying and suddenly there's about four other taxi drivers standing by the passenger door asking my father if there was any problem. The passenger quickly decided that my father wasn't going to have any problem at all that evening. If dad had suspected that this bloke might pose a serious threat, he would have used a different way to tell Dispatch where he was going and it would have been police officers waiting there when he arrived.
when i worked as a lifeguard we had a phrase to indicate when one person may be a threat to others safety or there own. we would say “the sky is really (whatever color their bathing suit is) today” cause it doesn’t sound sus unless you think about it.
Yes I met "Bob" when I worked at Walmart, but also Bob's friend was named Lisa what stands for "look inside always". If someone were buying something like a storage bin with a lid there might be something inside
I hate it when I get stuck in an IKEA and then the employs are all gross and misshapen and then I try leaving and the exit is no longer there. Ugh, such a pain.
Every time I watch this episode and they start talking about Ikea all I can think is, I want them to do an episode about SCPs, specifically number 3008 The Infinite Ikea.
Jason, Brian, you guys should really look up SCP-3008, I believe each of you have experienced a manifestation and somehow escaped. It would be wise to make sure you don't risk it again, or just simply avoid all IKEAs to be safe. Volgun, I mean, (*cough*) Dr. Miller recently did a presentation on that particular Euclid phenomenon.
Heard a code from a local ferry company. If "Mr. Gottard to the information, please." That's a code to the crew to take their stations and prepare for evacuation of the ship. Heard it a long time ago so I'm not sure if it's still in use.
Speaking of codes I only recently learned about the Voynich manuscript. A coded text dated to the 1500s that has never been cracked. Full of apothecary style pictures and potentially recipes for elixirs. Unknown author and origin.
As much as I love the Voynich manuscript, there is always the probability that it has no answer and is actually gibberish. My personal favorites are the Beale ciphers and the fourth Kryptos cipher. Both of which have never been solved, but because at least one of the other related codes have been cracked for each, there is a high probability that there is an absolute answer.
@@iout that's a possibility. But considering the age and quality I tend to think there's meaning there. Keep in mind this thing would have been extremely expensive back in the day to construct. The time and detail it would have taken to do all the writing and paintings. Unless it was meant as a decoy to protect a legitimate book of secrets I tend to lean it has meaning. Today it would be like building a top of the line custom PC, liquid cooled, all the latest hardware, and not loading an operating system on it.
@@richardpowell4281 Oh no, I agree. I personally like to believe that there is meaning behind the manuscript too. I just also find that it's healthy to understand there's always a possibility that I'm wrong in that regard.
On the subject of gladiatorial games, it was basically like professional wrestling. They were almost never to the death (gladiators were amongst the most expensive slaves you could own, so why would you send them to die?), and while not choreographed as such, the fighters would typically work together to put on a good show for the audience.
If you haven't heard the origins of Odin's 8 legged horse, you should go look into it. If you don't feel like looking into it, this is the jist of it. Gods hired mason to build a wall, mason only would get paid if built wall in 3 seasons, (payment was the sun, moon and Freya) mason asked to let his horse help, gods agreed, horse had super-strength, gods were worried they would have to pay so they twisted Loki's arm to slow the mason down, Loki became a female horse and seduced the super horse, Loki and horse ran off together, Loki gave birth to 8 legged horse then returned. I only shared this because after trying to find out a good name for a horse in a video game, I was going through horses in mythology and came across that. Now every time I hear "Loki", I think of that story. And Brian, I really hope you read this and look into the actual story. It is just a weird piece of Nord Mythology that is weird and funny at the same time. And just to think, if Loki was on birth control, Odin wouldn't have an 8 legged horse.

You guys should make a ultimate modern rogue course, where you put all your modern rogue knowledge to the test. Like you have to find dead drops, take down people with martial arts and nunchucks, get ride of the meat of the thing they stacked in rye, parkour, set and find bugs, find and place hidden cameras, try to solve a crime, all the things that you have ever covered in modern rogue just in a course
With Wal-Mart, as a former employee, there are two "hidden codes" we learn during orientation. B.o.b which as mentioned in the video is bottom of basket, but one not used as much is L.i.s.a, or look in side always(they spaced it out, not me), for items such as coolers or buckets with lids!
Cast members say “have a magical day” or they’ll say something related to the land they work at. However if a cast member says “have a Disney day” that mean f**k you.
We had different codes that were used in different areas. So even though cast member language was almost universal (insert them park joke here) it depended on area.
If you ever hear someone say “alpha” that means “emergency call police/fire/ems.
Also not really a code but Disney uses military time because some people end up working 12 hour shifts.
I was actually given a card that had all the codes for my specific area and I still have that card somewhere.
Oh _please_ do tell more!
what do we look up to find the code
Yeah, can confirm. I've worked several Disney jobs and all areas have a different code for the same thing like needing to use the bathroom and what not. But they are universal for major problems: signal 25, signal 70, signal 4.
It really is a language in a language. When I use to work a popular attraction the cast members could have full conversations by only saying numbers and hand signals.
And in todays episode, Brian and Jason talk about their experience with SCP 3008 (5:24)
Lord Bung made a video on this! Really interesting to see. As soon as they mentioned it I immediately thought of that SCP.
You weren't the only one.
I listening to TheVolgun reading of SCP3008 instead of watching this video last night... odd synchronicity.
i love the attention 3008 is getting, its one of my fav scps
at least they weren't stuck in 2678
"treasured guest" means the same as "bless your heart" in the American south :)
?
?
?
Lol true, kinda
I can see that, just the sheer insincerity in the words that the person is directing towards the subject.
10:49 "protein spill" sounds so much worse than vomit.
Yeah to me that rather sounds like somebody jacked off
@@Metalhammer1993, I used to work at Disney, and there WAS a code for ejaculate: milk spill. I now work in a grocery store and have ruined my coworkers in the dairy department by telling them that.
@@QueArres lol if i worked there, I'd always laugh my ass off if somebody said that, that day forth
@@Metalhammer1993 Oh, I do. My coworkers regret asking me what the codes were, heh.
Amusingly, there have been two incidents in the decade I've worked at the store where a customer has dropped an ENTIRE gallon of milk and had it explode everywhere. I was laughing way more than I should have been.
@@QueArres why would some one ejaculate in Disney world?
I used to work for Ikéa. Sofas are all named after larger Swedish cities. Tables are smaller town names.
Product numbers recently changed, but until the early 2000s, the last two digits in the product code told you the colour/material of the finish. For example, 10 meant white. 05 meant pine. The first three identified the producer. The system was dropped because they ran out of numbers.
The flagship Ikéa store in Sweden burned down once in the 70s and the company had developed a strong fire-awareness. Fire safety was an even bigger deal than loss prevention. "Code 1000" on the PA meant: "Fire. Evacuate everyone immediately."
So THATS why they have industrial three row hyper sturdy fire escapes!!
That 'BOB' one really intrigued me! I love the idea that I could communicate freely like this under the guise of silly language, especially the Disney stuff.
Please. I know my Disney. "Operation J" wouldn't be so base and artless as pretending EPCOT is _closed._
No, Operation J simply entails _moving_ the Food and Wine Festival _constantly,_ but subtly; taking down and putting up ads and decorations as the world's slowest and most secret parade moves throughout the park. By the time Jason gets fed up and leaves, _he'll_ be 100% convinced that he just got the wrong day somehow and the _guests_ will never have noticed food stands, demonstrations, and souvenirs intermittently vanishing from their pavilions.
Anastas1786 😂
I used to work for a company that the main code we used was "Mr. Butler" which was used to indicate suspicion of a shoplifter. Best part about it though was I never questioned why it was called Mr. Butler or a Butler moment cause I thought it was reference to the old "It's always the butler!" trope in the older shows/movies when something goes missing. Turns out it was the actual name of the guy in the company who wanted to have some sort of code for a shoplifter, I liked my answer better.
"I've got a code Pooh in the play area, and Piglet's in the loose"
My favorite ad-libbed Disney code from a reddit thread on Disney codes
Should probably add the situation was a small child had pooped on the ground, and was running around with only a shirt on
I discovered your channel yesterday and I just want to go on record saying that you guys are better than the new mythbusters and should promptly take their place
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRIAN WE LOVE YOU SIR
It's Brian's birthday? Kickass!
Hey Jason. The Walmart code "Bob" is only part of the original code. The manager or CSM (customer service manager) would pass the code on by saying, "Did you see Bob & Lisa today?" Bob meaning of course Bottom of Basket (back then in the South it was Bottom of Buggy) and Lisa is an acronym for Look Inside Always. It was a shoplifting move to take something like a $12 mailbox that came inside a cardboard box, open it, take the mailbox out and fill the box with movies, music, cameras, or anything else then go through checkout paying for the $12 mailbox with hundreds of dollars of merchandise inside. Same goes for ladies purse or jackets. It's amazing how much electronic or jewelry you can stuff inside other things.
We've also got MITCH
Merchandise In The Customer's Hand.
It's surprisingly common people will just hold on to something rather than put it on the belt and it's incredibly deniable too because they haven't taken any steps to conceal it.
I work at a place that refers to costumers as guests and I really like the idea of calling a suspected shoplifter a “customer”.
Sadly I work at Walmart and Lisa is Look inside always which means check inside the trash can or mailbox the person is buying.
its sad that the one i work at im the only one who ever follows that, and thus get shit from customers complaining that no one else does, ive already caught one person trying to smuggle out a PSVR in a plastic tote through our self checkouts.
Had to do that in a arts and craft store for all the brown mache boxes for decoupage and sewing machine bags. No code just had to shake them or opened and have a look, caught so many people but also got so many angry offended customers. Glad I quit
Love the way these guys chat, such a friendly fun vibe about it. Scripted or not it's entertaining af.
Glad you’re enjoying it. We’re not scripted, but we do have bullet points we want to get to (and we edit out all the flubs, which maybe makes us sound a bit less natural). Welcome aboard!
So the Ikea catalogue tip would almost be helpful for me, because most all of us Finns are forced to study Swedish in school. The problem is I'm not at all good at it.
Totally unrelated mate but I appreciate the Ian McCollum profile picture!
@@Jiberwocky Ah, I see you too are a disciple of Gun-Jesus.
@@Tunkkis praise be unto him, yes! It was his videos that finally persuaded me to go into mechanical engineering. I wonder how much overlap there is between the channel fan-bases, seems like the humor is pretty similar.
At My current job the workers have developed a language consisting entirely of handsignals and head nods. We can have full conversations over the whole plant. You couldn't teach most of it, you have to learn on the go. It was crazy once I learned it.
Plus My family used alcohol for coughs and teething troubles and I'm only 21 ._.
Are you sure it's not sign language? Are a lot deaf, or work with people that are hard of hearing at times? Is it loud on the plant, thus being difficult to understand what's being said in the first place?
@@imrosemahmood8512 I know it's not sign language, cuz I know sing language besides that... This place is a factory that's loud and everyone is wearing ear pro. Kinda hard to speak anyway. It's a lot simpler than american sign language and it gets the point across a lot easier. It's similar to call signs in baseball. And I use language loosely because this is really super simplified. I can ask things such as "How many left?" "When will you clock out?" "what are you doing after work?" and answer them as well. People can wave out "boss is checking in" or "Quality control is pissed" and my boss can give small schedule changes in it. Its not used all the time, but it's present
Thoroughly Wet”you couldn’t teach most of it”

@@mdittus0097
Hey dumbass, you missed an important few words in between that completely change the meaning of the statement.
I trained my K9 in a code/language within a language of sorts. I chose an uncommon foriegn language, and used out of context random words, so that even if a speaker of the language hears it, they can't figure out her other commands. It would just sound like jibberish. An example in English would be "Bulldozer Frisbee Hill" to have her perform a specific task. Impossible to predict, or decipher unless you spent weeks with us, and heard the commands repeatedly...and were fluent in said foreign language.
Good video!
Wait so this means Jason is new to all the incredible Disney theories? Please please please make a full video of Disney theories, they're so interesting!
One of my best friends works at Disneyworld. He told me about the "protein spill"-thing years ago. Cool to hear it on here.
Has Jason ever voiced an audiobook? If not, why not?

@@AFrogInTheStars listen instead of reading
@@AFrogInTheStars Get yourself a cheap to mid-range dynamic microphone and a audio/digital converter ; download Audacity and a d-esser plugin on your pc ; and watch some tutorials on UA-cam on how to make your recordings sound better. From there it's trial and error, but if you have half a brain you'll be fine.
Friend: "D&D is so pointless."
Same friend: "how the hell did you get out of Ikea in 15 mins?"
The great thing about Modern Rogue is that you guys have such nice art design that you can hide things in plain sight and people think it's just part of the video.
I work at an amusement park during the summers and we have a code system similar to the signals Disney uses. It’s pretty common, especially for when people get sick and vomit, since we don’t want to basically announce that someone vomited on or near one of our rides. We have codes 1-6, ranging from injuries to ride malfunction to sickness, and even a joke Code 7 which is emotional support.
I really miss the days of the scavenger hunts for giveaways. They were really fun, they increased our decoding skills, and it gave us a chance to win some rogue gear. Bring them back please!
About 30 years ago some of my uncles were on our local first aid squad. Since the first aid building was near my parents' home, they would stay with us whenever they were on call. I remember listening to the plectron they would bring (basically a emergency services band radio) and hearing all of the mystical codes that would emanate from it.
Around that time my dad was working for a major computer manufacturer and would carry around a device that he could send and receive digital text messages with to direct him toward clients that needed their computers serviced. Those text codes were also inscrutable to my young mind.

As a recovering heroin addict, Jason's joke about taking "a whoooooole bunch of morphine" to manage flying, _really_ cracked me up 😂
whoever does the subtitles, I highly appreciate the interrobangs.
Love the Twin peaks reference at 9:40, I just finished the datura trip that is season 3 last month, loved it.
Funny thing about the vaporrub.... I'm an EMT and that's something that many advise we do for really bad smells, like a GI bleed or someone who doesn't have access to showers. Only problem is you're stuck with that smell for the rest of your shift. So far I've just breathed through my mouth only.
Oof. Seems like the only thing worse than smelling a thing would be tasting that thing.
Dear past Brian and Jason,
This new year of 2018 will hold many treasures, Brian you will finally close on that HQ you’ve dreamed of for so long. Jason, you will make fun Brian many, many times, for either being an idiot, cutting or hurting himself, (which will happen a lot) or for bad ideas that don’t seem safe. You both will collaborate with a lot of awesome people, Macaulay Culkin. YES THE MACAULAY CULKIN!! The next year will be a good one for you guys, keep up the good content!!
Sincerely,
A Modern Rogue

Please do a second episode of this! I love this secret stuff!
I used to work for Walt Disney Imagineering. Though I worked "behind the scenes" for the most part, I still learned some of the lingo. For example, being anywhere in the park where "guests" go, is called "On Stage". As the name suggests, being on stage, a Disney employee, specifically anyone who plays a role, must always stay in character. Hence, these employees were called "cast members". I was informed (though never personally confirmed) that a cast member dressed up (such as Mickey or Goofy etc.) are strictly forbidden from taking off their character's head anywhere on stage. Literally, not figuratively, it was better to puke inside the headpiece than to take it off. The color and emblems on the employee badges also had significance. I had a green "imagineer's" badge, which at the time (2003/2004) meant that I could theoretically visit the main Disney parks in the U.S. for free, but only by myself. The highest ranking badge I remember was a blue badge with a brown "football" emblem near the bottom. That indicated that the bearer was considered a "director" and could go on any Disney property with any guests (I don't recall how many were allowed but it was something like a dozen) for free. I suspect 15 years later much of the system has changed, particularly the badges, but it was very interesting when I was there.
Not so much a secret code, but there are secret tunnels that honeycomb the parks. The reason for them is as simple as it is brilliant: to quickly move supplies to any area, at any time, without disturbing the guests. Or, if someone should get sick or injured (statistically out of millions of guests, at least some will have heart attacks, strokes, etc. along with minor sprains & cuts), they can be whisked away to the hospital much more quickly without having to disturb the other guests.
5:28 literally the concept of SCP-3008
I was think the same thing!
I work at Six Flags, and I'm so disappointed that all we really have for codes is "Natural cause", meaning a protein spill
Well, I guess there was also 'have a Six Flags day', which was basically our verbal middle finger
9:13 *H E Y W O U L D Y O U L I K E A P O T A T O C H I P ???!!!!*
I worked at a place that used animal sounds as code. Bird calls when you needed to be busy, Lamb when you had kids and people you didn't want a lot of cursing around, and Barking when the unwelcome where there and you needed someone else to come take care of it
Now I don't know the legitimacy of this one. But Code street rat is for when there is a hostage situation at the park and the Aladdin actor is there to go rescue the hostages
ArexuKurusake Sounds legit
R/oddlyspecific
There are codes on Cruise lines as well. Walmart has announcement code phrases. Disney has three codes I know of regarding suspected, or spotted drug, or alcohol in the park, or hotels. There is sub code for management regarding general staff incidents, like staff violating park policy. Cruise ships have codes for passenger medical emergencies. As a housekeeper, front desk, and then concierge at various hotels, and lodges I had to learn code that sounds like you are talking about mundane things, while relating actual things.

Funny you guys should mention grtting lost in Ikea. There's actually a fictional writing community on the internet called the SCP Foundation Wiki that writes stories (usually horror) about anomalous things that aren't real, but believably could be. It's all through the context of a shadowy organization that contains these anomalies and writes internal documentation about them.
Well, SCP-3008 is an Ikea store that becomes infinite once you lose sight of the entrance. People trapped in there have formed rudimentary civilizations to survive. It's one of the most interesting pieces on the site, and one of the highest rated too.
www.scp-wiki.net/scp-3008
I freaking love when you guys read these kind of articles
10:45 yes, and "lisa" means "look inside always" like if someone is buying a storage container, or anything that something can be hidden inside of
You should do an episode about how companies aren't really who they say they are, how one parent company might own a bunch of others who publicly are competitors with different branding while being the same service run by a single group of people. Maybe also go into how they choose publicly trusted figures and cult celebrities who fit their particular brands and then pit them against each other to get their followers to compete with each other, usually through making them feel smarter for using a service that others aren't benefiting from.
No reason...
yeah a bit like NSync and backstreet boys was owned by the same guy
pseudo gamer True, I completely forgot about the music business version of the fake rivalry. A lot of competing girl groups in my country had the same 3 people do their music/lyrics/choreography, most of it was made by the same producers in the same studio, just a different bunch of girls each week hoping to be the next spice girls. I only found that out because I met the person who wrote like half of the girl power pop music released over a decade and had a bunch in the top10 so they were understandably proud of their work.
Jason, I know y'all made this a while ago, but just thought it'd be something you'd wanna know (if you already don't). 5:40
There is a creepypasta-ish tale of an IKEA that is literally infinite and people disappear into it from other dimensions and never get out.
The experience of getting lost in an IKEA is so widespread and relatably terrifying that this (SCP-3008) is one of the top pages on the SCP site, right up there with a super-fast killer statue (before weeping angels), an experimenting plague doctor, and a world-ending lizard.
Not trying to push any of this like a fanboy or anything, the ikea one is seriously just a good story I think you'd like.
Ooh. I love SCP!
I thought the exact same thing when he started when he started talking getting lost in an infinite Ikea
The Statue is SCP-173, the Plague Doctor is SCP-049, and the Hard To Kill Lizard is SCP-682. Just for anyone wanting to know the other 3 SCPs referenced in the comment.
Scp foundation wiki isn't creepypasta... those are two completely different things. One is a message board for 10 year olds with no writing skill to come up with stupid "scary" stories. The other is a wiki website filled with supernatural items, people, creatures, and places with about the same writing skill put into it.
Timothy Rodowicz I agree they aren't the same, it's just usually the closest thing for me to compare for those who are completely unfamiliar with it
The stuff about the viking runes reminds me of the graffitis in Pompeii. It was mostly just trashtalk, the same that a bored teenager would write in his highschool bathroom.
I'm too lazy to try to decode it, but was that an SSTV signal at the end?
Yes. It says "1 Place & 1 Code" with a picture of Brandt
DasVERMiT i was exactly thinking the same thing :)

@@TheKidPyro how'd you get such a clear image? I can't get rx-sstv to "see" it through their talking
Ah, we had "bob" at our grocery store too when I was in high school. It's short for "bottom of basket". One of my coworkers would say, "for the love of Bob..." semi-loudly but make it look like it was to herself to hint to other people that they need to check if there's stuff under the cart.
Now I wanna see Brian and Jason go to Black spire outpost at Disneyland and use the data pad game
The video titles keep making me think you guys are about to go off the deep end into full-on conspiracy territory, but then you keep getting me learnified and full of smartitude.
There are also people who don't enjoy thrill rides and the clues easter egg hunts make it a lot more fun
One note about the bottles on Melrose Place: the bottle that says "For Children" next to the crashed car is a mock up of a Jagermeister bottle. When it was first sold it was a cough syrup, and it's still sold that way in Europe.

Cash converters used blacksmith to replace the numbers 0-9 so staff could see how much they paid for an item so they knew how much discount they could give without making a loss.
Also calling mr burns or mr sands are both tannoy announcement to let staff know there is a fire in the build (one was used in a shopping centre and one in an airport)

The Modern Rogue is based in Texas, as such applies to Texas time. "A couple months ago" can be anywhere from 2 months to 5 years in length. Just as "a couple days" can be 2 days to 2 months.

When I worked at a medical office, we called asshole patients "star patients" and would put a star on their chart if they were repeats. The hotel I work at now uses "treasured guests"
Dakota Todd Heh. “Star”
@Dakota Todd
Makes sense. Another term for "star" is "asterisk" (say it a few times).
It's nearly 2 AM and I should have gone to sleep hours ago, but instead I now know a lot about SSTV and the face in that image creeps me out
Former Disney Cast Member here. Worked at Disneyworld for a year. It might be a Disneyland thing but we never said "treasured guest". The real phrase is "Have a Disney Day!" or "Have a magical night!" said sarcastically. Customer is accurate. Also princesses cannot say "I play Cinderella!" they have to say "I'm friends with Cinderella!"
Also agree Food and Wine is the shit!
At my job (I work at a grocery store), you might hear someone announce "All departments, Code 50". That's just the code to take out the garbage.
You guys missed a trick at Disney. On the ride where there are long lines and the “theme” of the ride allows writing messages on the ride in symbols or runes, there are actual messages there for you to decode. The ones I specifically recall are the Indian Jones Temple ride and Space Mountain, but there has to be more.
The hidden tv show props cannot happen now on tv without finding out instantly. Someone will realize the props now and post what they saw on Reddit instantly being found out.
not to mention that back then , an OTA TV signal wasn't even comparible to 360p , so you couldn't even see those details unless the object was in a close-up shot. I'm sure they egotisticaly fancied themselves as being "so clever" , but how does it matter if only someone ON-SET could see them ? With today's HD , ok now you CAN have some easter-egg fun !
when it comes to the disney/pixar codes, Supercarlinbrothers has made several videos about the codes and eastereggs there, both from the disneyparks and from the movies.
I like the captions use of the interrobang.
“Do they just like, bang on things?”
“They’re all just like, heY WOULD YOU LIKE A POTATO CHIP!”
My parents used to drive taxis and my dad told me they had three different ways of saying that they were on their way from point A to point B that they could use when communicating with Dispatch.
One of those phrases was just normal transmission of information conveying that they were on their way to a location and, yes, they could pick up someone from near there when finished. The other two phrases alerted the company if the client was going to be a problem - one meant "send support", the other meant "send police". All the phrases sound perfectly normal, all convey where you're going and how soon you expect to be there - which is perfectly normal information for a cab driver to convey to their company.
Dad told me of how he picked up a passenger one night and, _en route_ to the destination, it became clear that the passenger was belligerent and had no intention of paying the fare. Dad waited until Dispatch put out a general call for a driver to pick someone up and radioed back that he was taking someone to a particular location and would be able to make the pick-up after he finished.
When they got to the destination, the passenger was about to get out of the taxi without paying and suddenly there's about four other taxi drivers standing by the passenger door asking my father if there was any problem.
The passenger quickly decided that my father wasn't going to have any problem at all that evening.
If dad had suspected that this bloke might pose a serious threat, he would have used a different way to tell Dispatch where he was going and it would have been police officers waiting there when he arrived.
when i worked as a lifeguard we had a phrase to indicate when one person may be a threat to others safety or there own. we would say “the sky is really (whatever color their bathing suit is) today” cause it doesn’t sound sus unless you think about it.
Yes I met "Bob" when I worked at Walmart, but also Bob's friend was named Lisa what stands for "look inside always". If someone were buying something like a storage bin with a lid there might be something inside
Fun fact, bottom left series of symbols spell out "The owls are not what they seem" in Morse code

Can you guys do an episode about pickles? I think that would be great. As someone who likes pickles I would like to broaden my pickle choices.
Every time I watch this episode and they start talking about Ikea all I can think is, I want them to do an episode about SCPs, specifically number 3008 The Infinite Ikea.
My housemate loves every time I call the two tier kitchen trolley a Stenstorp (which is its name in the IKEA catalogue)
Jason, Brian, you guys should really look up SCP-3008, I believe each of you have experienced a manifestation and somehow escaped. It would be wise to make sure you don't risk it again, or just simply avoid all IKEAs to be safe.
Volgun, I mean, (*cough*) Dr. Miller recently did a presentation on that particular Euclid phenomenon.
Heard a code from a local ferry company. If "Mr. Gottard to the information, please." That's a code to the crew to take their stations and prepare for evacuation of the ship. Heard it a long time ago so I'm not sure if it's still in use.
Magnus Ekström Oh wow. Good one!
I would love to see a follow-up episode to this one.
I think you guys would have fun trying out historical shaving "A time before razors"
Speaking of codes I only recently learned about the Voynich manuscript. A coded text dated to the 1500s that has never been cracked. Full of apothecary style pictures and potentially recipes for elixirs. Unknown author and origin.
The other cool thing is that half of the plants written and drawn inside of it have never been seen before
I like the XKCD opinion that it's actually medieval D&D.
As much as I love the Voynich manuscript, there is always the probability that it has no answer and is actually gibberish. My personal favorites are the Beale ciphers and the fourth Kryptos cipher. Both of which have never been solved, but because at least one of the other related codes have been cracked for each, there is a high probability that there is an absolute answer.
@@iout that's a possibility. But considering the age and quality I tend to think there's meaning there. Keep in mind this thing would have been extremely expensive back in the day to construct. The time and detail it would have taken to do all the writing and paintings. Unless it was meant as a decoy to protect a legitimate book of secrets I tend to lean it has meaning. Today it would be like building a top of the line custom PC, liquid cooled, all the latest hardware, and not loading an operating system on it.
@@richardpowell4281 Oh no, I agree. I personally like to believe that there is meaning behind the manuscript too. I just also find that it's healthy to understand there's always a possibility that I'm wrong in that regard.
On the subject of gladiatorial games, it was basically like professional wrestling. They were almost never to the death (gladiators were amongst the most expensive slaves you could own, so why would you send them to die?), and while not choreographed as such, the fighters would typically work together to put on a good show for the audience.
If you haven't heard the origins of Odin's 8 legged horse, you should go look into it. If you don't feel like looking into it, this is the jist of it. Gods hired mason to build a wall, mason only would get paid if built wall in 3 seasons, (payment was the sun, moon and Freya) mason asked to let his horse help, gods agreed, horse had super-strength, gods were worried they would have to pay so they twisted Loki's arm to slow the mason down, Loki became a female horse and seduced the super horse, Loki and horse ran off together, Loki gave birth to 8 legged horse then returned. I only shared this because after trying to find out a good name for a horse in a video game, I was going through horses in mythology and came across that. Now every time I hear "Loki", I think of that story. And Brian, I really hope you read this and look into the actual story. It is just a weird piece of Nord Mythology that is weird and funny at the same time. And just to think, if Loki was on birth control, Odin wouldn't have an 8 legged horse.
Sleipnir! (right? I'm too lazy to Google it right now.)
