What the Concierge Desk is Hiding - Tower of Terror Part 8 - Distory w/Kate & Kirk Ep.151

Hidden under layers of dust and cobwebs, the objects on the Concierge Desk of the Tower of Terror have their secrets, scandals, and connections to the Twilight Zone that most people completely miss. 

In this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we check into the lobby of the Hollywood Tower Hotel to uncover what secrets have been decaying before us right in plain sight at the Concierge Desk. After discussing the history of fedoras, phones, and ink blotters, we meet a Disney baroness and make a connection between the lamp and a difficult painting technique also featured in Disneyland. Kate discusses scandalous celebrity relationships, Kirk sits in the most uncomfortable chair ever, and, after naming several of the antiques in the area, we are finally ready to pick up our (purposefully creepy) suitcases and depart from the Concierge Desk.
