3:13

I do have the questions. Fantastic. Why

3:15

don't you ask your first question?

3:18

Oh man, this is dopatek. Alright.

3:20

From Kate and Trolley, how

3:23

long does it take to a, then

3:25

b, record one episode in

3:27

general.

3:29

I'll start with the first bit, and then y'all

3:31

can elaborate if you'd like. The

3:34

amount of time that takes to write an episode varies

3:36

wildly. Some of them I can kind of

3:39

jot down in a half an hour because

3:40

they just happen in my brain. And

3:42

others, I have to take

3:44

three weeks and

3:45

go for walks and contemplate the

3:47

universe. I've been trying to write

3:50

episode three of season five

3:52

for two or three months now.

3:54

I don't know how long it'll take. It's

3:56

the it's a mystery.

3:59

As far as

3:59

recording, would you guys like to chip in

4:02

on that one? I mean, I don't know a while. I

4:04

can tell you that one. Yeah.

4:07

Yeah.

4:07

Austin's feeling like come on Austin later.

4:09

I think what I can say I mean,

4:12

if you've if you've

4:14

listened to any of the bloopers from

4:16

like season one or season two,

4:18

like imagine like at least a hundred

4:21

and fifty percent more just random

4:24

stuff happening.

4:26

the A

4:27

lot of it

4:28

varying degrees of either

4:30

unproductive or unfunny to

4:32

actually put into a blooper

4:34

reel.

4:36

But,

4:37

I mean, yeah, it was it was like it

4:39

was a couple made

4:41

it the the the actually recording setting

4:44

down because for Susan

4:46

Watson too, we we were all in one

4:48

room, which is incredible thinking

4:50

back now, seeing how everything

4:53

has happened to the world, sitting

4:56

with the whole cast in a single room,

4:59

we would all be dead. if

5:02

that had happened now. Following the

5:04

librarians? Yes.

5:06

They oh, well.

5:09

the Now

5:11

recording was it was it was just

5:13

it took a while, but, like,

5:16

even

5:16

though, like, a hundred like, a good

5:18

half of it was unproductive or just, like,

5:20

us trying to be funny and

5:23

flopping. I mean, it doesn't

5:25

matter how long it was because it was just it was just

5:27

so much fun to just

5:29

be vibing off of

5:31

everybody in one space.

5:33

No social distancing. No

5:35

worries that we're gonna be locked in our

5:37

houses and a couple years from now.

5:40

Awesome. I just love your answer. It doesn't

5:42

really matter. I don't wish every question could be

5:44

answered like that. because

5:47

they don't entirely want the brass tacks. We

5:49

typically knock things out in, like,

5:50

you know,

5:51

anywhere from, like, a three to four hour

5:53

chunk As far as how much each

5:55

individual section was, it varied depending

5:57

on how hard the episode was. And generally,

5:59

I budget, like, an hour of time

6:02

for each episode.

6:03

Yeah. We're doing it doesn't take any

6:05

more time, like, over Zoom or in

6:07

person. It's about the same either way.

6:09

What

6:10

was the name? And I'm terrible with the episode

6:12

names, but the episode where they all, you know, swap

6:14

bodies. Hang on. Let's say That would be the swap.

6:16

It would be the swap. I should've known. It's it's

6:18

always very Hannity, yourself on point

6:20

with your episode titles. That

6:23

one I know was a little bit more more

6:25

of a challenge because there was a lot of

6:26

Wait a

6:26

second. Is that my line or your line? Or wait. Who's

6:29

talking right now? When a lot of real not back

6:31

end try again? The

6:31

notation was bad. I will admit

6:34

this freely. Oh,

6:35

it was a past the mess right there, but it was

6:37

a blast. I

6:39

was just saying I'm I'm really glad I was able

6:41

to be that be there to witness the

6:43

recording of that episode. Did

6:45

you

6:45

were you reading for Austin since

6:47

Austin couldn't be there or something? That sounds

6:49

right.

6:50

No. I was I was there. I I might have

6:53

been late, but I was there. You're

6:55

reading for somebody?

6:57

I I was reading for someone. I I think

6:59

I was maybe reading for

7:01

Kaylie.

7:03

Possibly.

7:05

We'll say yes.

7:06

No. I

7:08

said, that's how history is written.

7:12

This question is from Anne,

7:14

and I would love it from each of your perspectives,

7:17

if possible. How did you all meet?

7:21

eat. Let

7:23

me think about it. Well well

7:29

So romantic. Another

7:32

very romantic, we met at

7:34

a podcast convention. And,

7:38

anyway, now it's like three

7:40

years later, and we're married. So it's

7:42

in my income. So it went okay, I

7:44

guess.

7:45

well I think

7:47

it probably meant in the context

7:49

of the show, but I'm keeping that. So

7:53

before

7:54

just talk to everyone. I knew Hannah as

7:56

soon as I was capable of settling the bond.

7:58

But

8:00

I meant I meant Austin

8:03

to school and then

8:05

found out he was part of this podcast.

8:07

Yes. If I recall correctly, you were the only

8:10

one to audition in person. for

8:13

season two.

8:16

I do remember. I met Calin first. I

8:18

think I met you first through Kyle for fellowship

8:20

on campus. And

8:21

then I I ran into it later at auditions.

8:24

Yeah.

8:25

Austin, what was the process like for you?

8:28

Because I kind of just sent out an email

8:30

on the drama department

8:32

newsletter and prayed. Yeah.

8:34

It was I mean, I saw it on

8:36

the email. I'm like, that's That's

8:39

cool. because I was like, I was I forget if

8:41

it was like my freshman or my sophomore year, but

8:43

I was like, that's cool. I'm still trying to

8:45

figure myself out. What do I

8:47

wanna do?

8:48

This sounds

8:50

awesome. And

8:53

I emailed, I forget what

8:56

I had to do for that. I forgot if there was, like, an

8:58

audition process or not. There was. But

9:00

only five people auditioned. So I just saw

9:02

these two all. Yeah. I

9:04

mean, I remember, like, Cool.

9:06

We're gonna meet in this tiny room in

9:08

the in the music building. And

9:10

then that and then that's just like, yeah, just go,

9:12

like, go through a couple voices. go

9:15

through a couple of voices, not that. That's no.

9:18

Sorry. And then we just eventually

9:21

landed on I've

9:23

instantly landed on well, what is

9:25

what is now melt here?

9:27

Although, maybe

9:30

maybe a worse version of it, it's

9:32

been so long that I don't remember.

9:34

But I'm sure it was

9:36

nowhere near as good as it was by the time we

9:38

actually, like, got really working

9:40

into it? You're supposed

9:42

to change a little bit, but, like, not in

9:44

a significant way. You mean, you were still recognizable

9:47

off road.

9:48

Hey, Ria. How did we meet?

9:51

Well, it's the funniest thing.

9:54

Well,

9:54

everyone Oh,

9:56

we missed your thunder, technically.

9:59

Kinda.

9:59

Yeah. Those will be your

10:02

networking. It does work.

10:04

Yeah. Then

10:06

I

10:06

think it was I I

10:08

don't remember who it was that sent me the

10:10

link when the server went like.

10:12

for for in between the sports

10:15

ever.

10:15

And on a whim, I decided to

10:18

join. Normally, I

10:20

wouldn't because anxiety but

10:21

I did. And look at me now. I have

10:23

a job

10:24

with a podcast. Wow.

10:28

Yes.

10:29

Yes, Queen. Yeah.

10:32

Go ahead, bro. Ask another question.

10:34

Oh, right. Another question. Let's

10:37

see. From Anne. Oh,

10:39

very good. What was everyone's favorite

10:42

episode?

10:43

Man.

10:47

I'm I'm sitting on rockets right

10:49

here. I'm so excited to say mine, but I I don't

10:51

wanna jump on all the questions.

10:53

Our

10:53

favorite episode to

10:56

act out or are they,

10:58

like

11:00

because, like, I

11:02

know what my favorite line was.

11:04

and that was the line about,

11:07

like, Rosie's freaking boots.

11:10

Like, the best thing

11:12

I've ever been to stay on a

11:14

microphone. The

11:20

waterproof, stink proof, acid

11:23

proof, sneaky

11:25

slipper custom leather boots.

11:30

Yeah. I

11:32

also really liked any episode

11:34

where I had an excuse

11:37

to speak Drow

11:39

because I never, like,

11:41

acted out a different language before,

11:43

let alone, like, a conlink. And

11:45

so that was just, like, a lot of fun.

11:47

Wait.

11:49

That's fine. Is that correct?

11:50

I think my favorite

11:53

episode has to be

11:58

sounds so finicky,

11:59

but it's the the

12:02

potion one. Yeah.

12:05

It's mostly It has

12:07

to be the potion one. Mostly

12:11

because everyone just I don't

12:12

know. They bring their

12:14

they just bring the type of energy that you would

12:16

hope to that episode. And

12:18

toad's voice actor just brings

12:20

all of a yes. You could all kids.

12:22

And, yes, you could all do this. just

12:24

like an

12:26

amazing and funny episode. My favorite

12:29

episode to act in,

12:31

the

12:32

has

12:34

to be the the Redux

12:37

the LuxuryDEX episode, I think. Mhmm.

12:39

Because that's where Sadia's

12:41

I believe, Sarah, is

12:44

at her most

12:47

Girl, Yeah. I guess that's

12:50

yeah. That's the term. Yeah.

12:52

I'm

12:53

just there. Like,

12:56

She's she's giving everyone

12:58

favor. She's oh, she's just

13:00

playing the game. And she just wants a

13:02

favor. No. She's just a farm

13:04

aid. Totally. Oh, bad

13:08

news here. So

13:10

I always like those type of gods,

13:12

you know. I've

13:13

got, like, a couple episodes

13:15

that are my favorite. I

13:18

I just I I really like just

13:20

really moments when,

13:22

like, just really

13:24

tiny tiny people whether

13:26

in stature or

13:28

power or confidence

13:31

just find a little bit

13:33

of something in them. And I just like,

13:35

for this tiny sliver

13:37

of of this tiny

13:39

sliver of in time, they're

13:41

just being badass. And

13:43

then after the after they realized in have

13:45

time to think about their actions just right

13:47

back to being super anxious about

13:50

themselves and absolutely

13:52

not confident. So, like, a

13:54

lot of character just snaps.

13:57

Yes. Anytime, melt here just is

13:59

sick of it

13:59

sick of this shit.

14:01

It's my favorite. So I think

14:03

in, like, I think in the fay and

14:05

whichever whenever

14:07

I threaten Sterling, with

14:09

a ball of acid. That's always fun.

14:11

But like

14:14

favorite episode in general,

14:16

I really liked our crossover episode

14:19

with with Beacon. That was that was

14:21

just really fun to record and

14:23

also listen to and act and all that.

14:26

Guess who's here?

14:28

Hello?

14:28

Hello? Hello? Hello? Hello?

14:31

Hello? Won't you

14:33

introduce

14:33

yourself in the pronouns and

14:35

the role?

14:37

Yes.

14:38

Hi. I'm Riley.

14:41

Sheher. Yeah.

14:44

I think that's

14:46

about it. You're feeder.

14:48

Oh,

14:50

yeah. Right. Oh, sorry. I'm not

14:52

really bad at all during this week.

14:57

The the important bit. Right? We

14:59

are talking about our

15:01

favorite episodes, and

15:03

Malcolm looked like possibly they had

15:05

one. Yeah. I

15:07

was gonna say the sleep as the favorite

15:09

one to act. Yeah. But

15:13

because everyone I feel like Well,

15:15

during the recording, we fell into,

15:17

like, a nice group, I think.

15:19

And then it just everyone was really, like,

15:21

kind of, nicely snarky. And the the

15:25

moment where everyone was, like, sleeping was

15:27

the hardest for me to not start

15:29

laughing because of all the sleep noises

15:31

and stuff. And, you

15:33

know, sounds great. so if that was

15:35

my animal session for one.

15:37

Lovely.

15:39

Who next?

15:40

I

15:43

I my favorite episode would

15:45

probably be the swap

15:48

because it's when

15:50

I first read it, when I got

15:52

the script, it just

15:54

seemed like such a great I

15:57

could just tell it would be such an

15:59

amazing episode. And then I got to be there

16:01

when it was recorded and it was

16:04

so entertaining.

16:06

Do

16:07

y'all wanna know who gave me the idea for the

16:09

swap? It

16:11

was really

16:13

hey. I you know,

16:15

that tracks. I believe it was

16:18

we were recording season one and you'd said

16:20

something about a game you were

16:22

DMing. You were making your

16:24

characters do a body spot that episode where they

16:26

all switched character sheets.

16:30

Yes. Wow.

16:31

That sounds stressful. Mhmm.

16:35

Do

16:36

we get

16:37

everyone for yet?

16:39

Oh, man.

16:39

Favorite episode. That's such a hard

16:42

question. You

16:45

think

16:46

probably for the

16:50

Maybe

16:51

the runner, like,

16:53

oh, like, in in season one,

16:55

like, that was the episode that I

16:57

was, like, Oh

16:57

my gosh.

16:59

This is

16:59

like a really really good episode to really

17:02

solid story. And then from the

17:04

recent seasons, I

17:05

really like the twin. Is

17:07

that is that the one? Yeah. I it's

17:09

just really like, you know, how the

17:12

the information got revealed like,

17:15

oh, well, Turns out, all of these guys, they have

17:17

twins. And

17:18

was that

17:20

somebody's introduction? Yes.

17:22

Yes. This was. Yeah.

17:23

That was also very fun to transcribe for me.

17:26

Like, it

17:26

was just very fun too to

17:28

hear.

17:29

Any gap is still, like, a

17:31

very strong emotional performance is really fun.

17:33

because I get to Google a

17:35

lot of synonyms for the word sad

17:37

or angry.

17:39

wins.

17:42

They're so funny. Alright.

17:44

Really

17:44

do you have my favorite episode?

17:46

I

17:48

mean, I feel everybody said the swap a

17:50

lot of people said the swap episode. I

17:53

think

17:53

that one was tied honestly.

17:57

with the

17:58

one where we're toting

17:59

around our our dear friend's dead

18:02

body and

18:02

a rug. on

18:07

one animal. You

18:09

mean, necromance to get to the house. I

18:11

don't worry about it.

18:15

my favorite in general was

18:17

the festival because

18:19

we got a lot of, like, emotional,

18:21

like, Honestly

18:23

from Zara, which is

18:26

very

18:26

rare.

18:28

But my favorite to actin was

18:31

the shoot.

18:33

I forgot what the title was.

18:35

It was the one

18:38

where the demon revealed

18:40

himself. pretty special. Enjoy

18:43

that one. What

18:45

was great

18:45

was we

18:48

recorded

18:48

that before

18:49

I recorded with the two

18:51

people who were playing the

18:54

demon in the

18:56

actual like, in

18:58

the bonus episode. So I just

19:00

sent them that chunk of audio and said, this

19:02

is the vibe. Yeah.

19:06

It

19:06

was not a none of that. That's good. Oh, it came

19:09

together so beautiful. Like,

19:10

David Chills here for the first time. Oh,

19:13

my goodness.

19:14

it was very potent. was it was

19:15

amazing.

19:17

Okay. So

19:18

from Kate, for each of you

19:21

as people, what d

19:22

what D and D class would

19:24

you be? We're

19:26

married.

19:27

I don't feel like

19:29

that's true. No.

19:31

Let me sit on my first second.

19:33

Okay. I

19:35

the mean, I'll

19:37

go for I'll go for

19:39

mine. I'd be a

19:41

druid. think

19:41

both

19:42

a a little bit a little bit

19:44

of tank, a little bit of heat, a little bit of

19:46

damage. I'll just do a

19:47

little bit of everything.

19:49

Plus, I plus, I work at the zoo now.

19:51

So now it's a Oh,

19:54

like, yeah. Living your best

19:56

goal. I

19:57

wanna hear all about that after

19:59

we're

19:59

done. Sure. Yeah.

20:03

So are we doing,

20:05

like, Just

20:07

the just

20:07

what do you feel? What do you feel, Lucy?

20:10

Feel that I'm just gonna issue with questions like

20:12

these. It's, like, There are

20:14

the things that I would like to be, and there are the

20:16

things that I know I would be. Yeah.

20:21

Yeah. I

20:22

think I would probably end

20:24

up being, like, a

20:27

rogue

20:27

of some kind

20:30

because I love the chaos

20:32

and I just love any excuse

20:34

to, like, contort

20:35

myself or, like, climb

20:38

over things. But, like,

20:40

I also got another

20:43

new job where a big part of my job is,

20:45

like, messing with and fixing

20:48

up like,

20:48

old furniture that's been

20:51

damaged. And I, like, actually, really like it.

20:53

So maybe a little bit of art if I sort of I

20:55

don't know.

20:57

I feel

20:58

like I would want

21:00

to be

21:02

a

21:02

warlock or something like

21:05

very chaotic

21:06

But life would just

21:08

hand me something,

21:10

I don't know, like a

21:11

monk or a cleric.

21:14

And I'll just be like,

21:16

could've made

21:16

that decision. Should've

21:20

talked about all of those

21:22

choices and that they all have very

21:25

strong, like, goth

21:27

bot look potential. Yeah. Like,

21:29

the important part of choosing a beauty in

21:31

the glass. Yeah. The aesthetic.

21:34

Yes.

21:34

Exactly. That's the whole point. But I feel

21:36

like I would have missed

21:37

out on that, like, man, I could have been a

21:39

deal with that demon. And now I'm working in

21:42

a monastery. That's

21:48

like why cats are happy.

21:52

too many

21:55

bucks. Yeah.

21:58

III

22:04

i there's two

22:06

because one is, again,

22:08

I would want want. The other was what

22:11

I absolutely am. What

22:13

I

22:13

want would be rogue because, realistically

22:16

speaking, none of us are gonna ever

22:18

fight somebody in our lives, and rogues are just skill

22:20

monkeys. So I'd be good at everything.

22:23

But because I think like that, I

22:25

am a hundred percent a

22:27

wizard. Yes.

22:29

because I because I want to game the

22:31

system. I'm a wizard. Okay.

22:33

You give you give off wizard

22:35

vibes, I think. True. Yes.

22:38

I would

22:39

be bad because I don't

22:40

like studying, but I was not

22:43

wizarding. You got time

22:46

blue there. Yeah. Do a wizard

22:47

who can't make it past, like, level five,

22:50

which which I got

22:52

magic missile. That's Exactly.

22:55

I just want a fireball.

22:57

That's it. Yeah. I'd

23:00

be the exact opposite kind

23:03

of wizard. Like, I

23:06

feel like I I

23:08

have recently realized how much I

23:10

love research and I'm like, oh, no.

23:13

I never

23:16

saw myself before.

23:18

Give you, like,

23:20

the geek's geek.

23:22

Yeah. I like the idea

23:24

of these two people going to school together,

23:27

like, wizard school.

23:29

over

23:34

and, like, Adamie's friends.

23:37

I'm gonna show his

23:39

story ideas. Yeah. I well, no,

23:41

I have to write it. So There

23:43

you go. I can't believe you, I guess.

23:47

Alright.

23:49

Well,

23:49

this is a good class. Caleb, what's your feeling?

23:52

Mm-mm.

23:52

was Caleb. Oh, there

23:54

was Caleb. Brent.

23:56

No,

23:56

Caitlin. Oh, Caitlin.

23:59

It's gonna

23:59

it's gonna be confusing the whole time

24:02

probably. Look. Don't mess on the

24:04

hand. I'm bad enough of remembering names.

24:06

I'm sorry.

24:08

I

24:08

mean, I think for for me,

24:10

ideally, I would want to

24:12

be

24:12

a bard, but I think realistically,

24:15

I'm one of the sidekick classes

24:17

Oh,

24:22

yeah. So Support classes? because

24:24

that's so me. You're not

24:29

supposed to be monk. Austin is You're

24:31

not supposed to be like someone right

24:33

now. a very a very chill ranger.

24:36

And I think in Tasha's,

24:38

they added sidekick class

24:40

for Oh. They're

24:44

they're like But he's offended. They still

24:46

they still have a they still

24:48

have like

24:50

things features that they can do,

24:52

but they aren't as fleshed out as a

24:54

as a player character class. Right.

24:57

the

24:59

Alright. I

24:59

like that one. I do wanna hear

25:00

from our transcriber.

25:04

Here's where

25:04

the secret comes out. I don't play DND.

25:06

No. No.

25:09

No. Don't this.

25:11

Don't this. Don't this clip.

25:14

The fans can't know.

25:17

Don't you

25:17

know anyone involved? isn't playing

25:19

ding d. Wow. So,

25:22

no. I think that as

25:23

I speak it for a language. That does mean

25:25

we get to assign you a class. You

25:28

know this? So if we're

25:31

taking us taking into consideration, I

25:33

feel I I feel like beginner

25:35

DND players, they

25:37

usually either always play, like, a wizard,

25:40

a druid, or a

25:42

rogue. I feel like those are, like, the

25:44

three starter classes.

25:46

Okay. Go ahead and sign a voice. fighter

25:48

yet. We're we're forgetting

25:49

human fighter, which is the most

25:51

basic combo possible. Yeah.

25:54

because that's the thing. It's like

25:56

like, human fighter is the most

25:58

basic combo possible. And

25:59

so that's why people

26:02

if you're me anyway, you

26:04

don't choose stuff like that until you've

26:06

already done some more interesting things.

26:08

And so you're like, fine. I might as

26:11

well. Now

26:11

let let let let let's not forget one thing that

26:13

also happens a bit too often

26:16

is that somebody's new and the

26:18

DM looks at

26:18

the current party like Yeah.

26:21

We need a healer. He's here. Yeah.

26:24

Yeah. And now you're just declaried.

26:26

No worries. That that happens to me.

26:28

That they I several of

26:30

my

26:30

DMFs have tried to recruit me on that

26:33

principle. We need a keylery. You're

26:36

about strong clarith vibes.

26:38

you please learn d b mechanics.

26:41

I mean, really I I

26:43

feel like only a cleric

26:45

would be willing to transcribe

26:48

It's

26:49

literally

26:52

clerical.

26:52

It

26:54

is it

26:54

is clerical work.

26:56

Anyway

26:56

I'm sorry. I said

26:57

that. Yeah. You know what I

26:59

mean? Someone had to. So

27:03

what's up there?

27:03

really in Malcolm.

27:06

Oh, no.

27:06

Riley said, Drew, remember? Oh, right. I'm right

27:08

because of the zoo. You

27:10

can control them with your mind, Drew,

27:13

powers. I

27:14

I can talk to them and tell them

27:16

how how dumb they are.

27:18

Okay. Everybody go to the zoo. They're like,

27:20

wow. All of those cool big majestic

27:23

animals. guys, they're just as

27:25

dumb as your pets. They they

27:27

still do stupid stuff.

27:29

It's just that they do it whenever you you're

27:31

not there to see it, like,

27:32

after hours. Yes. I

27:41

guess that's just Malcolm then. Yes.

27:43

Minor,

27:46

they

27:46

vary kind of weirdly, but Aladdin

27:48

was always my go to you

27:50

or a bard.

27:52

too. That's all

27:54

right there. It smells good. expensive. Yeah.

27:58

I'm gonna give

27:59

it our layout. We we're gonna need a Paladin. We

28:01

need that healer.

28:06

Yeah. I'm

28:06

also a paladin, though.

28:08

You

28:08

know, I've

28:09

been ruminating. I think Bart

28:12

just about sounds right for Yeah. That

28:13

feels good. Yeah. Alright,

28:15

Shelley. With the next one.

28:17

Yeah.

28:17

Alright. Let's

28:18

see here. from Mauryn

28:21

or maybe Mauryn. I don't think

28:23

it's Mauryn. Alright. Mauryn makes more

28:25

sense, but I like Mauryn. Also

28:28

bug on the Discord. is

28:30

Lauren. So, hi, Lauren. How about Hi,

28:32

Lauren. Sorry if I mispronounce your

28:35

name. Ria, what was the most difficult

28:37

episode to transcribe what

28:39

was your favorite episode of Transcribe?

28:41

Oh my

28:42

god. Oh my god. Oh

28:43

my

28:45

god. Oh, god. Hold

28:47

up. Where where am I

28:49

five?

28:51

I'm

28:54

not sure

28:54

there was, like, a a most difficult

28:57

episode because

28:58

even for, like, the conlang.

29:00

That was kind enough to give me the

29:02

conlang. Otherwise,

29:03

Things that have gone much different.

29:08

Oh, man. That's

29:11

Actually, probably no. Actually,

29:13

probably the, like, the the bonus episodes because

29:15

I was just the bonus episodes are, like,

29:18

season two to three when were injured

29:20

in the crew because I was just

29:22

starting. So I

29:22

was just getting familiar with, like, the

29:25

formatting and and what

29:27

needed and the voices of the people and

29:29

there was a lot more like playing

29:31

back stuff. Let's try to figure out what

29:33

was being said.

29:34

then nowadays, like, every episode takes me, like, an

29:37

hour

29:37

and hour and a half. Of

29:38

course, those felt like they took me forever

29:40

even though comparatively, they're, like,

29:43

so tidy. I

29:43

think is seven minutes.

29:46

Yep.

29:48

Probably also like,

29:50

the the the episode with those introduction again because I had to hear

29:52

my own voice and no.

29:56

No. Thank you. I

29:59

I'm not meant for that side of the microphone. I'm

30:01

not sure. Why did I

30:01

calm here? You

30:04

are conditioned. You

30:05

can't weed a lot of it now. Yes.

30:10

And then my favorite episode

30:12

to transcribe,

30:16

honestly, probably What

30:19

was it? Was it the gem?

30:21

I think the yeah. The gem. Well,

30:23

there were, like, there were so many voices there, and

30:25

it was just a

30:25

lot of fun to balance around. and hear

30:28

everyone. It's it's

30:29

just it was

30:30

just, I don't know, enrichment. But

30:34

yeah. That's it. that those aren't my

30:37

answers. I love

30:37

that. Yeah. You

30:39

came on after the swap, which meant I

30:42

had to transfer scribing, which

30:44

was bad. It was

30:46

not the

30:46

moment, Hannah, where he said, I need someone to

30:48

do this for me. That

30:51

wasn't back at the moment. I was like, well, I'm

30:53

gonna crowd fund for next season anyway. I

30:55

should probably put that in the

30:57

budget. Yeah.

30:59

This is a question from tally

31:02

for the actors. How did you

31:04

develop your character voices?

31:06

Oh, wow.

31:11

easier

31:17

to answer for some than others. Yeah. I was gonna

31:19

say some of you I cast because you sounded

31:21

exactly like you were supposed to

31:24

Honestly

31:24

yeah. Okay. Her voice is not that far

31:26

off of mine.

31:28

It's maybe a little higher

31:31

pitch and I just sound like I have more life

31:33

in me, I think. That's

31:36

sort of basis,

31:39

Sofina's voice. What

31:41

I do

31:42

remember in the bonus episode, you know, when you're

31:44

flashing back to your pass you through in a little bit more

31:46

Texas to apply a little bit more your

31:48

know, a bit more. That's that was the hobbit

31:51

roots. Yeah. I did the script -- Yeah. -- AC'd

31:53

accent not knowing that you're from

31:55

Texas.

31:57

No. That was

31:57

a you know, that that was fun. I went, oh, I

31:59

could do

31:59

AC. I could do AC with the best

32:02

of

32:02

them. Nice.

32:05

there

32:07

yeah,

32:08

Rosy's voice is,

32:11

like,

32:11

pretty much just mine,

32:14

except, like,

32:16

I tried to make Rosie,

32:19

like, but

32:19

bublier than

32:21

I usually tend to be,

32:23

and so that

32:24

kind carried over into the voice and kind

32:26

of made it, like, a little bit more

32:28

high pitched than I usually talk

32:30

in. But other than that, I didn't really

32:33

do anything special with her

32:35

voice. Like,

32:35

I considered it too

32:38

when, like,

32:38

I first got cast. So I was like,

32:41

I'm gonna send Hannah like,

32:43

a bunch of different voices, and

32:45

then she can choose which one she wants

32:47

me to do. And then that didn't

32:49

happen because I became credibly

32:52

lazy. Actually okay.

32:54

So you first appeared in the last episode

32:56

of season

32:57

two. and

32:59

you sent me three takes and I told

33:02

you this character

33:03

is kinda edgy and serious because

33:05

at the time Rosie and Zara

33:08

had the opposite personalities, which

33:10

is

33:11

weird

33:12

to contemplate now.

33:16

But, like, you've sent me a

33:18

third take for fun

33:19

that was kinda bubbly. And when

33:21

I was writing season two, and

33:23

trying to fix it because it was bad.

33:26

And then swapping the personalities is what

33:28

made it good. I was like,

33:29

oh, say, god, I have a bubbly

33:32

version. of those lines I can use.

33:34

Did you Hercules the

33:36

projects? What are you talking

33:37

about? Yeah. Yeah.

33:39

So in Disney Hercules,

33:41

when they were making Hades, he used

33:44

to be, like, serious and,

33:46

you know, Satan like whatever. And

33:49

then the actor came in James

33:53

Yes. James was caving. Did this

33:55

car thing, and they would just like, you know

33:57

what? Fuck it. flip.

33:59

I

33:59

guess it's nice. I

34:02

mean, Disney villains are gay

34:04

culture. So Exactly.

34:07

Austin, you talked a little bit about it, but I

34:09

would love to know more about how you developed your

34:11

character voice. He's

34:15

always there. He's always just

34:17

he's he's he's always there. He's

34:19

always just on the on the

34:21

edge of how much

34:23

I can take. That's the

34:25

secret captain. I'm always anxious.

34:28

secret. I'm

34:30

always anxious.

34:35

ah Malcolm, did you

34:37

have an answer?

34:38

It's this guy.

34:41

right now,

34:44

maybe a little slower and,

34:46

like, more of an asshole.

34:48

But other

34:50

than that, No. Just

34:52

just this guy.

34:54

The

34:54

the next question is

34:56

related to this one. Okay. Wait.

34:59

Sorry, Adam. And

35:01

Well, no. I I was waiting

35:03

on, like, perhaps our smooth voice goddess over

35:05

there, Ariana. Oh, Ariana. I'm so

35:07

sorry.

35:07

Oh. Oh, sorry.

35:11

His

35:12

the boy voice.

35:14

She came on

35:16

a smug I guess,

35:18

like, I don't know.

35:20

Like, I don't know.

35:22

It's just imagined that,

35:24

like, Imagine

35:25

someone who yeah.

35:27

It's

35:28

yeah how I

35:29

was imagined, Saudi, it

35:30

was, like, a rich woman trying

35:33

to be humble. You know?

35:36

So I kind

35:36

of just put on that affection

35:39

on her.

35:39

It's like, totally alarming, but I

35:41

could just, like, I'm

35:43

gonna go call my my But

35:46

me to come to yeah. To come do

35:48

the work, like the total from all

35:51

of her company. Yeah. which

35:54

sing that song to myself every day.

35:56

Yay. Yay. Yay. Yay.

35:58

Bye. So yeah.

35:59

Saudi's voice

36:02

is just Just

36:02

a more smug rich

36:04

knee,

36:05

I guess.

36:06

That's it. You

36:08

know, any backstory on your many

36:10

extras?

36:12

Alright. Did you say

36:13

are talking to me? Yes.

36:15

Desk I said you Let me hear

36:17

the second half.

36:18

Now let me hear the second

36:20

half of of what

36:23

you were saying, so I didn't hear my name. I mean, I

36:25

I feel like

36:26

a

36:28

lot of them were

36:30

just, like, like,

36:31

especially with the guard and

36:33

and with Tally, it's only, like, one

36:35

or two lines. So,

36:37

like, you know, with Tally, I was,

36:40

like, oh, I think Hannah, you told me at one point like,

36:42

oh, you know, like a a guy just sort

36:44

of sitting out on his

36:46

front porch. seeing

36:48

them pass by or something. And so,

36:50

like, okay. I'll

36:52

just, you

36:54

know, you

36:55

know, I don't you know, I don't I don't

36:57

even remember my line.

37:00

I can't believe you don't remember

37:02

a one after three years ago. Yeah.

37:04

I think the I think the voice I

37:07

put I thought I put the

37:09

most thought into was was

37:11

probably rebus because us.

37:14

He was, like, the more

37:16

he

37:16

was, like, the fancy

37:20

butler And

37:22

so III

37:25

was thinking, like, trying

37:27

to do, like,

37:29

I don't think

37:31

I did quite, like, a like a

37:34

I didn't quite get,

37:37

like, an accent. I don't think that I tried to be tried to

37:39

sound more like like

37:44

like

37:46

fencingists. Hi.

37:47

Hi. Standing sort

37:50

of and like Did you

37:52

say

37:53

highfalutin?

37:55

I

37:55

think you

37:58

would.

37:59

Nate, I

38:02

don't know. trying

38:03

to imagine how, like, a how, like,

38:06

a a butler for a rich family

38:08

would

38:10

would speak. Well, on the

38:11

topic of voices, I would like to

38:14

ask perhaps the most well

38:16

worded question from Aqua.

38:18

Austin, here's one for

38:20

you. I want to ask Austin

38:22

how many goats he sacrificed to make his book range that big.

38:29

I

38:29

don't know what you're talking about,

38:31

man. I don't

38:34

know.

38:34

I like, Alright. I I quest

38:37

for y'all.

38:37

What have you ever seen a goat? because I don't

38:39

think I have. What do

38:41

you say is

38:44

a goat? Sacramentos

38:44

and goose is so last year.

38:46

Obviously I I mean, if I knew

38:48

what a goat was, I wouldn't even know

38:51

how to sacrifice obviously Like,

38:54

where where do you where do you put

38:56

it? Jesus, though?

38:58

I don't know. It's just

39:02

don't and I mean,

39:04

personally, I don't like talking

39:05

about my voice. Not unlike a I'm not

39:07

confident about it kind of

39:09

way. I just don't know how to accept compliments about it.

39:11

It's a weird thing. It's like, yep, that's

39:13

just how I talk. Thanks

39:16

for liking it. That's pretty

39:18

cool. And then I

39:21

yeah. So, no, I haven't

39:23

sacrificed any goats. because,

39:25

I mean, it it I to me, it's

39:28

nothing it's nothing special. It's just what I was

39:31

what I have This is

39:33

a question from

39:37

Lauren,

39:37

elusive assistant director. How did you

39:39

get rope into this? Oh,

39:41

there's one for me.

39:44

Yeah. III

39:46

lived with her, and I was always

39:48

supportive with her. So She asked me to be

39:50

supportive for something else. That's true. We

39:52

were roommates at the time. I forgot

39:54

about it. That's just

39:56

about it. I mean, I

39:58

wanna help him with this. It seemed like a pretty cool idea

39:59

and, you know, someone

40:01

needed to

40:01

drive home and grab the charging cord when she

40:04

forgot it. So that's what I'm

40:06

here

40:06

for. Let's

40:07

Okay. William got this supporting

40:08

women.

40:16

Go ahead. Well

40:17

Yes. Right. It is my

40:19

turn. Let's see. From Kate, is

40:21

there economically a stuffed alligator in

40:23

the wizard's tower?

40:26

And if so,

40:27

what is name? This is in reference

40:29

to a thick that I

40:31

wrote that

40:32

was fan fiction of my own show

40:36

technically. because I

40:37

never intended to publish it, but I did

40:39

as a crowdfunding milestone

40:42

perk. And I just ended up throwing

40:44

it all up on A03 so it's there if

40:46

you wanna read it. But it does look

40:48

really good.

40:49

Thank you.

40:51

People

40:51

have read it. Oh,

40:54

no. I was just doing

40:56

it as a writing exercise,

40:58

honestly, because I kind of always have to be

41:00

working on something also die like a shark.

41:04

And it

41:05

ended up good.

41:07

I

41:08

love I love malteer and I

41:10

love sterling, and I love

41:12

I love my children. I

41:14

love all my children. All

41:16

my fantasy children, which is another

41:19

podcast. I do I do just want to ask Hannah, and

41:21

just a quick yes or no, how canonical

41:23

is this

41:26

fan fiction?

41:27

Alright. For those of you

41:30

listening at home, that was one heck of a

41:32

shrug. It's

41:34

like you know So the in the description

41:36

too, you wrote

41:36

that thing and you like, this is kind

41:39

of canonical,

41:39

but also it it

41:42

isn't and The

41:43

author is dead. But,

41:45

of course, I'm like a like

41:48

like, do what you want. I I

41:50

don't Like, the silver timeline,

41:52

you know? Yes. That's what we've been said. In the dubious

41:54

kind of canonical, this particular

41:56

fiction, is there is an alligator

41:58

hanging

41:58

alligator hanging

41:59

in the Wizards tower at the the

42:02

palace, and that is

42:04

a reference both to the once in

42:06

future king and

42:07

to Terry Pratchett And

42:09

I just it feels good to have an

42:12

alligator hanging from the ceiling when you're a wizard.

42:14

That's all I'm saying. That's

42:16

all I'm saying. This is

42:18

a question for Lauren.

42:20

Actors,

42:20

if you could choose any other character

42:22

from the show to play, who would it

42:24

be? Zara.

42:24

Zara. That

42:28

was so

42:29

quickly. See.

42:31

Listen. I love

42:33

Zara so much. I think

42:36

Zara or

42:40

a

42:40

hair mover who gave her, like,

42:42

an actual name, but Saudi Arabia. Yeah.

42:46

here

42:49

I

42:49

just love me and women. What can

42:51

I say? That's my

42:54

problem. Same.

42:57

related will relatable?

42:58

yeah Yes.

43:00

the

43:01

Feminism. I

43:05

like we should just subtitle this

43:07

episode as something

43:10

else.

43:13

Malcolm, who

43:16

would you

43:16

like to play if you could pick anyone else

43:19

in the

43:20

cast?

43:22

and

43:22

I just had it

43:24

in my head. Wait. Hold on.

43:25

I was gonna say,

43:27

them

43:29

Knowles or

43:30

kill, kill, kill. But

43:32

I

43:33

think It's just

43:35

Knowles because Mark

43:38

is, like,

43:38

characterization that was already done in prison's sake.

43:40

So I don't know if that

43:42

counts, but I just like Knowles.

43:46

Maybe

43:46

does great

43:47

work. Mhmm. Everybody else wanna toss

43:49

one or

43:49

should I volunteer someone? I

43:52

would love to be

43:54

TownSpoke

43:56

one. It's

43:56

been a

43:59

dream of

44:02

mine.

44:04

Caitlin, didn't you play Towne in

44:06

the D and D game that we

44:09

had? Yes. My the

44:10

best D

44:10

and D character I've ever played. Townridge

44:15

McDolland. I

44:18

don't

44:19

need for sure.

44:21

If you want the extended can, you should have been

44:23

playing D and D with

44:26

us. Yeah. Yeah. I

44:28

still think about the betrayal.

44:31

Then didn't you,

44:34

like, live under

44:35

the town and, like, steal all

44:37

of its wealth

44:40

after that? one shot.

44:40

No. I think that was you, man. No.

44:42

I

44:42

I became the mayor. I was I

44:45

oh, yes. I was

44:48

not secretly You buy from now. He was in line with

44:50

the law.

44:50

I don't lump him in. He was not

44:52

in

44:52

line with the law. He just made

44:55

my ass up his the mayor.

44:57

I just stole the mayor's identity. Sorry about that. And

44:59

became the mayor. And

45:02

then someone

45:03

eventually assassinated me

45:06

and I went off to live wherever

45:08

I ended up running into the rest of.

45:13

All I remember is up to Sterling. I can't

45:15

pay. Yeah. We have, like, three

45:18

sorcerers in that game.

45:20

Yellow notes. Wait.

45:20

What class was I? because I was a talking dog. You were you were a talking

45:23

dog. That was your class. Oh,

45:25

my gosh. Yeah. Oh,

45:28

nice.

45:28

i know What

45:30

about you, Ariada? Who who would you like to play? Oh

45:33

my god.

45:35

the

45:37

Malcolm's character? or kill

45:39

it because, you know, who doesn't wanna play

45:41

a character just oozes

45:44

sex. Absolutely.

45:46

Yeah. it's

45:48

towed. I would actually love to play

45:50

tote too. Yeah. I don't know.

45:52

Take your first play tote. Yeah.

45:56

During, like,

45:57

like, a couple of recording sessions where Anthony

45:59

could make it. I was, like, I could do both

46:02

characters though.

46:04

Okay. I

46:05

had faith in myself and that's what

46:08

matters. Exactly.

46:10

And

46:10

-- Yeah.

46:11

-- I agree. I think that just leaves Caleb then.

46:13

And I said Caleb

46:14

was a b, not Caleb was an n. I just

46:16

wanna make it very clear. Mhmm.

46:19

I I have completely

46:21

forgotten the characters

46:24

and name, but for the

46:28

the

46:28

crossover episode that we did with cast

46:31

or

46:33

Oh, Ryan. Ryan.

46:34

ryan

46:35

ryan yeah Yes.

46:38

The well, the

46:40

second side question?

46:42

Side question. Side question. It

46:44

was the demon that James Alipa

46:46

play. Oh, yeah. III just love

46:49

doing little creepy,

46:52

like, goblin

46:54

dude. It's like my favorite things, and

46:56

I do not get to do it often enough in podcasting.

46:58

I don't remember that.

47:01

I, like, literally ask

47:04

I like to bag the John from the soap versus to let me

47:07

play any and all terrible little creatures

47:09

that they have in

47:12

the show. So

47:14

does that

47:14

leave does that hang on. Just wanna make

47:16

sure we match everyone out because that was one of my favorite

47:19

questions. I

47:21

I did not answer the question. I don't you play

47:24

Caitlin? I hi

47:27

the Well, I should have

47:29

been thinking about it more.

47:32

I think I

47:36

haven't answered yet. I

47:36

mean, I don't I don't have an answer.

47:39

You said

47:39

you want to talk

47:42

about it? I'm like a four year

47:44

old at Sunday. school. I

47:46

wanted to Yeah.

47:48

Uh-huh. Now

47:49

I have I have the mic now

47:51

and I can just say whenever I

47:54

want. The

47:58

I forget the name of, like,

47:59

the the dark the

48:01

evil the the big bad from

48:03

season one. That's the bad one. The bone to the

48:06

bone to sorry.

48:08

Bone daddy. I need

48:09

to check it, Ruby. I'm gonna say

48:12

that. Oh,

48:13

I see.

48:15

It's the bone

48:17

king. No. That's that's hilarious because I I too

48:19

would also like to play

48:21

the bone king.

48:24

It was

48:25

Mark. Feel like the bone king is an underdeveloped character that he sort

48:27

of really fleshed out and made a

48:29

real good spin off.

48:32

out of. The more we the more we say

48:33

the bone king, the less it sounds like a real

48:36

name.

48:36

Right. Right. It didn't

48:38

sound like a real name when I

48:42

wrote it. If there was a deal with It's not a real name, though. It's a

48:44

title. Yeah. It's a

48:46

title. We don't know. But but

48:48

it's only it could do something like that.

48:50

But not

48:52

What are the Bone

48:54

King's thoughts and dreams? What are what

48:56

are what are the Bone King's motivation

48:59

Well, he wanted me a dancer, but you know

49:01

how both that is? It's a bonus.

49:03

I know how art is Getriated,

49:05

you know. Yeah. We need we need a director fan fiction

49:07

of the bone

49:07

king. There you go. Okay.

49:09

Oh, dude. You don't have you

49:12

don't have a microphone. The

49:14

very first Oh, no. You want it?

49:16

I'll give it to you. I have it.

49:18

Totally. I want it. Got

49:20

it. Back when the

49:21

end was new, the very first

49:23

visitor it got was ambitious

49:26

young man who had dreams of

49:28

greatness

49:28

and a convenient vase

49:31

he could use for a flactory.

49:33

There you go. That's it. Alright.

49:34

It's beautiful. Thank

49:36

you. Yeah. So

49:37

we also want

49:38

to play the bone king. I

49:44

can't remember that. If I I think for,

49:45

like, half a second hand, it was like,

49:47

hey, I'm doing a podcast. Do you wanna be one of

49:49

the main characters? And I'm glad that I

49:52

wasn't because I don't

49:53

have it.

49:55

You are better at public speaking than

49:58

acting like

49:59

me.

49:59

Yeah.

50:01

Mhmm. I'm

50:02

great at acting as William. So from Moren or

50:04

Moren, gosh. I want

50:06

you to I want you to send

50:08

me some hate mail

50:10

if I if I didn't miss Bug would never send

50:12

you hate mail. I want you to

50:15

cancel it. Yeah. We'll see. We'll

50:18

see. So I guess this one's kind of for you here. Can you tease

50:20

something about the next season to tie

50:22

this over? I actually wanna turn this

50:24

one over to Malcolm. I

50:26

will be in

50:29

the next season as

50:32

one of our

50:36

five heroes. which is pretty

50:37

funny because the whole

50:38

Discord was all like,

50:40

obviously, Max

50:43

is returning his the big

50:45

bad evil guy in the next

50:48

season. We hate him.

50:50

That's gonna be heroes.

50:52

time.

50:52

Okay. The next up,

50:55

upgraded to Protagonist. Exactly.

50:58

Are you in a redemption arc at

51:01

gonna be nasty. I mean, that's redemption

51:04

art. It's gonna be He's doing a redemption

51:06

art season. Can we throw him, you know, the bone

51:08

king and the red balance of

51:10

those things? And I can't redemptions. This is not This is how you

51:12

finish this is how you

51:14

finish the

51:14

episode free of season five. You just

51:18

right in the

51:18

boat king. There you go. The story is about itself.

51:21

Episode one, the bogey king. And

51:23

my uncle was the bogey king

51:25

the entire time. That

51:28

would be a podcast, but I am in

51:30

good context. I'll go and ask I have a whole

51:32

separate book. Bob, doctor's book.

51:34

Hey.

51:34

Maybe the real bone king was

51:36

friends with

51:37

me. So true for Vision

51:39

51:41

adventures all learning how

51:43

a

52:03

big calcium megazord.

52:05

Don't mind me and my me and my

52:07

bone gundam over

52:10

here.

52:12

Okay.

52:12

I

52:16

have I have one last question.

52:20

This is from both Ellie and

52:22

Kate. What would you say to your

52:24

character if

52:25

you met them?

52:27

Girl. Just I

52:30

just

52:31

this girl

52:32

Yeah. She's

52:36

right on.

52:37

like, in

52:38

a shady way or in a vibration way?

52:40

Forking

52:42

all those stuffs.

52:44

Forking. I don't know.

52:46

I love like, Rosie Rosie

52:48

is one of those characters that I'm

52:51

like like, oh, I'm

52:52

like, oh, honey, you did nothing wrong.

52:55

you know, but also, like, you did everything

52:57

wrong. Like, also, okay. You didn't end

52:59

nothing wrong. I

53:01

know this. and I love

53:04

you. You're sure that

53:08

things. Mine would

53:09

be do you

53:11

too. Keep

53:11

doing you, though.

53:14

Keep doing you. Like, who

53:16

are you? Like, who am I gonna

53:20

sell you? Yeah. Exactly. Do you, bro.

53:22

Keep doing me. men do

53:24

anything. Exactly. Do you,

53:26

bro. You wanna destroy the world. You wanna

53:29

cause this Okay. I have to do you both. You wanna

53:31

destroy Knowl's sanity? Exactly.

53:34

Do you both. Right? I'd

53:36

be supported. I'd be in

53:38

the background. all been

53:40

about -- Mhmm. --

53:41

RB

53:44

Supportive.

53:44

That's status. Yeah.

53:47

I would just be, like, Sadia's back up

53:49

dance. Exactly. Right

53:52

there. Right

53:54

there. I

53:55

gotta say I'm really curious, especially what Riley

53:57

would tell

54:00

Steven. Oh,

54:01

I feel like

54:03

Oh,

54:04

oh man

54:06

man. I think I think all

54:06

I would all I would

54:07

really wanna say is some I don't know the

54:10

exact wording

54:11

But I think say

54:12

something along the lines of,

54:14

you

54:15

know, like,

54:16

people really love

54:17

your story. People love hearing

54:19

about your story. Oh.

54:22

I think that's sweet. That'd be something

54:24

she'd like to hear. Hey. You

54:26

guys better come up with some good answers because

54:28

I think Riley just not nailed it. You

54:31

man. Right. Right. I

54:34

I don't know.

54:36

I

54:37

feel like I feel like just

54:39

popping into existence in front of somebody

54:41

whose paranoid is not a

54:44

great

54:44

thing for health So I'd probably

54:46

just say

54:48

yeah.

54:49

I'd

54:50

probably just

54:52

say, like,

54:54

you're

54:54

moving in a good direction.

54:56

Just

54:56

keep just

54:56

keep moving forward.

54:59

That's what matters. And

55:01

then

55:01

I slap them really

55:04

hard. It disappeared.

55:06

In like a loving

55:09

way, It's not on the face, but, like,

55:11

just, like, right on the back and

55:13

I'm gone. Oh. In a in

55:15

a comedic puff of pink smoke.

55:17

fairly on there.

55:21

I think my favorite

55:22

fan fiction was the one we're often showed

55:25

up and slapped meltzer. Cannon. Yeah.

55:28

You should just record that.

55:30

Like, record, like, a awesome

55:33

meeting out here. Honestly,

55:36

my favorite fan

55:37

fiction of meltzer is me

55:39

showing up telling him just

55:41

yeah. You know

55:43

what? It's okay to

55:44

say fuck sometimes and then disappear.

55:46

You sound like

55:49

you need a

55:52

kid.

55:53

for those of you listening,

55:55

a

55:55

secret. There is a

55:57

secret. Not just

55:59

Austin recording. this moment

56:02

where Miltir swears, but

56:04

also like a oh, what's

56:06

that called? Like a

56:07

storyboard thing. An animated an

56:10

animated an animated There's also an

56:12

automatic of it on YouTube. So

56:14

I'm on track and dot

56:16

down. You're

56:16

not sending that automatic.

56:20

and in the Discord server, so you

56:22

could find it if you go there. Sure.

56:24

You should join us. No. No. Tell me,

56:26

Malcolm. What

56:26

does what does Max need to

56:29

hear from

56:30

you? I started with chill out, but I

56:31

think it would

56:34

probably be

56:35

the

56:37

No one likes you

56:38

as much as you like you.

56:42

I

56:43

take Why?

56:46

Why

56:46

can't That'll help them be better.

56:48

but

56:53

be better. See? Better.

56:56

I mean, Carol, you got a long

56:58

list. You got working

56:58

for you there. Are there any brief

57:02

I mean, they're you know,

57:04

perhaps not the deepest, but there might be some snippets you might wanna tell.

57:06

County.

57:06

county

57:10

the I I don't

57:12

think I need to say anything to

57:14

Towne. He's got everything figured out.

57:20

I would I would write down

57:22

everything that happens to Knowles in

57:25

seasons three and four and

57:27

then tell Travert exactly

57:30

what happened so he can make a bet with Knowles

57:32

of what's gonna happen to

57:36

him.

57:38

Incredible.

57:40

I don't know why

57:42

we're

57:42

using this to better game it. You

57:46

know what? On that

57:47

note, I would tell Vida to

57:49

stop

57:49

making what saying. Stop it.

57:52

Stop it. I know you're new at

57:54

the card, but

57:56

stop it.

57:58

Forget Caleb. Did you did you did you add your zero point zero two

57:59

dollars on that

58:02

one? No.

58:02

But I think it would be

58:05

short and sweet. loosen

58:08

up. Like,

58:11

just go outside.

58:13

Touch some grass. I'm

58:17

beginning to see a pattern emerging with what we wanna tell her, George.

58:22

Alright. Thank you

58:24

all for joining us so much. I appreciate

58:27

all of you spending your time on

58:29

this. I know everybody's really

58:31

gonna like it. So

58:33

Closing remarks. I don't

58:36

What side? Tetrauss. Hi,

58:48

Dray, Tetrauss. Do

58:50

58:52

Let's let's run through and say

58:53

who's here real quick. So let's

58:56

just do

58:57

name, pronouns, and what you do on

58:59

the show. Here it go.

59:01

Your apple,

59:02

my pronouns are she, her, and I

59:05

play

59:05

seven. Hey. Katherine.

59:08

I'm Katherine Air's, she,

59:09

her and I

59:11

edit the pie. address.

59:12

Quinn. Quinn Lee,

59:14

she, her, and playsara. And

59:17

a second

59:18

appearance by both Caleb and

59:22

William. You first,

59:22

Caleb. Okay. I'm

59:25

Caleb Del Rio. I play

59:27

caster, and my pronounce are

59:30

he. really right.

59:32

Shehim, assistant director, but really

59:34

I'm more of a glorified gopher. I explained what

59:36

that means the last episode. So I'm not doing

59:38

that again. Also, I was like, Our

59:41

our listeners heard that, like, thirty, forty

59:43

minutes ago. Yeah. Exactly. That might

59:45

be ambitious. Would you care to ask the

59:47

first question, William? I would be overjoyed to ask the first

59:49

question. Let's see here. This one comes from

59:52

Anne. Two ends in an

59:54

e, in case you're curious. What

59:56

was everyone's favorite

59:58

episode. You need to pull up

1:00:00

the episode list too. I was gonna I

1:00:02

did that last season. we're talking about just

1:00:04

the last season, just the previous season.

1:00:07

You can talk about whatever episodes you like because I know that

1:00:09

you've listened to the whole show, but you're always

1:00:11

very simple thing. Well,

1:00:13

I

1:00:14

will say What

1:00:15

came to mind for me was the brain

1:00:18

the brain swab

1:00:20

episode. Yay. The totality

1:00:23

swap episode was a hundred percent

1:00:25

one of the best times I ever had listening to a

1:00:28

podcast. No one was

1:00:30

frequently

1:00:30

mentioned last time. Yeah.

1:00:33

Well, tell you what, Caleb, what did you say last

1:00:35

time? I'm III have forgotten

1:00:37

since then. We structured it

1:00:39

a little bit differently,

1:00:42

we set our favorite episode

1:00:44

to Acton and then

1:00:47

our favorite episode in

1:00:50

general. Remember, when you said

1:00:52

acting as the gray one

1:00:54

was your favorite to acting?

1:00:56

Yes. Yep.

1:00:59

And then my favorite in general was

1:01:01

the no, not between

1:01:03

the festival. Yeah. Right?

1:01:06

because we got a lot of emotional, honest

1:01:08

Stefan Sara, which is so nice. It's so rare.

1:01:12

Yeah. I do

1:01:13

love a carney.

1:01:14

you'll have a corridor

1:01:17

We

1:01:17

can't argue with a Carney. We can't argue

1:01:19

with a Carney. We can't

1:01:20

argue with a Carney. We

1:01:23

can't We did we found out.

1:01:25

Hey, Chris. The party did kinda checkmate you guys.

1:01:27

So -- Mhmm. -- pretty good gets the the high

1:01:29

ground on that

1:01:32

one. It was definitely a mess around and fight out sort of

1:01:34

situation. What about

1:01:36

you? What's

1:01:37

your favorite episode?

1:01:39

I had

1:01:40

one a second

1:01:42

ago and it completely

1:01:43

fell out of my brain.

1:01:45

I mean,

1:01:48

acting wise definitely the

1:01:50

festival because that was

1:01:54

intimidating. It's like I was

1:01:56

reading through the script for this season and it's

1:01:58

like in one episode I'm crying and in the

1:01:59

next episode I'm doing a conlang and

1:02:02

I'm like, No

1:02:02

pressure. It's fine. You did

1:02:05

it. You, like,

1:02:05

flexed on it. It

1:02:08

was amazing.

1:02:09

I'm

1:02:11

glad you thought so because I was

1:02:13

very worried that I was going over

1:02:15

melodramatic with it. Not at all.

1:02:17

You were great. I really love

1:02:19

the travel game too, just because I

1:02:21

love the idea of them just like I

1:02:23

love the episodes where the crew

1:02:25

is just like bonding as

1:02:28

bros. And,

1:02:30

you

1:02:30

know, Zara is also the thing.

1:02:35

Zarru is

1:02:36

the Sundare, a multipart season.

1:02:40

Heather, do you have a

1:02:42

favorite?

1:02:46

I do like that brain

1:02:48

swap episode a lot. And I also

1:02:52

like the Stevenology

1:02:55

bonus episode. And

1:02:57

the bonus episode

1:03:00

with

1:03:00

Zara and Melchir?

1:03:02

Yeah.

1:03:02

I think those are the favorite. Wasn't

1:03:05

the episode with Zara and

1:03:07

not

1:03:07

to hear, like,

1:03:09

five minutes long?

1:03:11

Yeah. Did you like it because it was

1:03:13

easy to

1:03:14

edit? No. No. I just liked it.

1:03:16

I

1:03:18

think my

1:03:18

favorite often comes down to which one's

1:03:21

kind of came out in a cool and fun

1:03:23

way. So, you know, Katherine, you kinda read

1:03:25

my mind with, you know, the the swap,

1:03:27

which was very fun to

1:03:29

see, acted and very confusing to direct. It goes a

1:03:31

different half. This this script was

1:03:34

a mess and it

1:03:36

was awesome. And again,

1:03:38

the the demonology one

1:03:40

was very cool. Again, two voices that

1:03:42

I loved and I loved hearing together and came

1:03:44

together so well. The

1:03:45

math was also fun because I remember Hannah

1:03:47

stressing over how she could do that

1:03:49

answer, trying to think of how Betty would answer

1:03:51

in base twelve.

1:03:53

That was very fun. And

1:03:55

Smithe's heart be all. That is

1:03:58

hard. It is.

1:03:59

Yeah. And, you

1:04:00

know, you gotta love the potion because who doesn't love

1:04:02

a little bit of fans service.

1:04:04

I found

1:04:05

so true. Oh, that was

1:04:07

also such a

1:04:09

good one. Mhmm.

1:04:11

have a favorite episode per

1:04:14

season. So,

1:04:16

like, the gods was my favorite

1:04:18

episode from season one. and

1:04:21

then body swap from

1:04:23

season two. And then

1:04:24

season three was probably the

1:04:27

warlock because

1:04:29

demon demon acting No.

1:04:30

Not the warlock. The one that was directly before it,

1:04:32

the possession,

1:04:33

I guess. But

1:04:36

you know, same as Caleb.

1:04:38

And then oh, I don't even know

1:04:40

the gem. The gem

1:04:42

was probably the

1:04:43

best my favorite

1:04:46

episode in season

1:04:46

four? Is that the first one? No.

1:04:48

That's the the second to last

1:04:50

one where we had nine

1:04:51

actors in the same room.

1:04:53

Oh my god.

1:04:56

That was a

1:04:56

feat. I will never I

1:04:58

will never direct one of these

1:05:00

massive casts of like that's

1:05:03

Nine is, like, too many. I think I'm not gonna

1:05:06

do that again. You did

1:05:08

it with Grace and Napalm, though.

1:05:10

Thanks. I think we can

1:05:12

all agree. I will I I should

1:05:13

point out that Liz Wall, who is one of

1:05:15

the voices of the gray

1:05:17

one, is

1:05:20

now starring in a show called Badlands Cola, which absolutely slaps

1:05:22

and we

1:05:22

should all listen to it. It's about a

1:05:24

cult and it's about dinosaurs. and

1:05:28

it's great. Is it also about soda? I think

1:05:30

so. I I assumed that's got

1:05:32

cola in the name, so I can only

1:05:34

guess. because that just makes that

1:05:36

is making thirsty me thirsty. or makes

1:05:38

me wanna play some fun other one. JV, would

1:05:41

you give name pronouns

1:05:42

and what you do

1:05:45

on in between? Yes.

1:05:46

Oh, boy. For

1:05:48

some reason, I apparently just forgot

1:05:50

my name for no reason. I know

1:05:52

it's fine. It's not like it's directly

1:05:55

on screen in front of me or anything.

1:05:57

It's fine. Anyway, hi, everyone. My name

1:05:59

is JV Hampton Van

1:06:02

Sant. My pronouns are they

1:06:04

and she. and

1:06:08

I I played Knowles --

1:06:10

Yeah. -- and the

1:06:12

lovable Knowles. What

1:06:13

would you say is your

1:06:15

favorite episode?

1:06:18

Oh,

1:06:18

god. I

1:06:20

had

1:06:20

an answer for this one, but

1:06:23

I forgot what it was. You

1:06:25

can tell how my day has

1:06:27

been going. It's fine. I

1:06:30

forgot which one it specifically was. It was

1:06:33

in the it

1:06:36

was

1:06:37

in the

1:06:38

this most recent one,

1:06:39

this most recent season, it was

1:06:41

about halfway through. I forgot exactly why it

1:06:43

was my favorite, but it

1:06:46

was. that that is as good of answers I have at the moment.

1:06:48

I'll take it. One, it's an episode.

1:06:50

It's in the middle and it's good.

1:06:53

Yes. Could it possibly be

1:06:55

the luck reducts? Because you

1:06:57

basically killed with that episode.

1:07:00

Absolutely. That I think was the one. Yeah.

1:07:02

That was the one. area,

1:07:03

that's probably my favorite too. So

1:07:05

This mad

1:07:06

at everybody. No. Just kidding. Yeah.

1:07:08

It was it was quite

1:07:11

fun. Here is

1:07:12

an a question from

1:07:14

Kate. What class would each of you

1:07:16

be if

1:07:17

you were a DND

1:07:20

character? Oh, boy. I'm excited for this

1:07:22

one. I have, like, two

1:07:24

answers

1:07:24

for this. I have the answer that

1:07:26

is, this is what I've

1:07:28

played almost every time I've done

1:07:30

this. And then there's and

1:07:32

then there's there's a one

1:07:34

that I have tried playing and I realize,

1:07:37

yeah, that's it. That's the what

1:07:39

I like. So I think I'll go with

1:07:41

for the first one, Normally,

1:07:43

I wind up playing a Ranger, which

1:07:46

I just wind up enjoying

1:07:48

rather a lot.

1:07:50

Wonderful. Yeah. nature things. I enjoy just being in nature

1:07:52

and doing mildly feral

1:07:54

things. It's just quite fun.

1:07:57

The one that subject

1:07:59

deck of

1:08:00

feral things. I have

1:08:02

found more recently that playing a

1:08:04

bar period is real fun. It's

1:08:07

really great. I I love

1:08:09

it. I love it so much. 000

1:08:12

It's very fun. So,

1:08:14

yeah,

1:08:15

I guess, Maybe

1:08:17

a multi class.

1:08:20

Maybe a multi class

1:08:21

of Ranger

1:08:22

and Barbarian.

1:08:23

Mhmm. I like it.

1:08:24

why gets

1:08:26

We didn't have a multi class last time. We didn't

1:08:29

have someone who said

1:08:31

artificial. Lucy said

1:08:35

some kind of shoot. Something mixed

1:08:38

with artificial rogue? Yeah.

1:08:40

Yeah.

1:08:40

It feels right.

1:08:43

It feels organic.

1:08:44

Mhmm. I'm very curious to see

1:08:46

from the, you know, wizard behind the scenes scenes

1:08:51

Katherine over there. But also, you know,

1:08:53

is she perhaps a wizard? because she does seem quite competent in that regard.

1:08:56

So I

1:08:58

think I

1:09:00

would just pick wizard,

1:09:01

but I did actually funny enough to take a quiz, like an online

1:09:04

quiz. I'm like, what class

1:09:06

are you? And I got drew

1:09:08

it.

1:09:10

No.

1:09:10

No. How to

1:09:12

back that up at all, but

1:09:14

it's

1:09:14

an online quiz. It doesn't

1:09:16

need to oh my

1:09:18

gosh. That's right. in the

1:09:20

in the Quinn

1:09:23

corner of things?

1:09:25

just

1:09:27

based on my own personality, I think I'd

1:09:29

probably

1:09:29

end up being a wizard just

1:09:31

because it is you

1:09:34

know, I'm

1:09:35

generally a more

1:09:37

academic than physical person.

1:09:39

I usually play

1:09:40

a warlock just

1:09:43

because I like coming up with non traditional

1:09:45

ways that Warlock packs can

1:09:47

come about. Most

1:09:51

of

1:09:51

them buy accident because, you know,

1:09:53

it's fun to

1:09:54

work around the problems that you

1:09:55

make

1:09:57

we'll see you make for yourself for

1:10:00

yourself. I always

1:10:01

wanted to play a warlock just to

1:10:03

think of a very weird

1:10:04

are you want to play warlock you to think of a very

1:10:06

weird patron

1:10:08

patron.

1:10:09

Well, Kiera, tell me, what do you what do you think? What

1:10:11

are you feeling?

1:10:12

tell me what do you what do you think what do you feel

1:10:14

and

1:10:15

Probably barred. and

1:10:17

me as a person, I

1:10:19

guess, just because I've always done theater. Cool. Awesome. Writing.

1:10:22

So I'd be like yeah.

1:10:24

would be my god yeah

1:10:26

ah

1:10:28

AAA

1:10:29

bard writer

1:10:31

slash performer with

1:10:34

with

1:10:34

a little bit of a scholar thrown

1:10:36

in, probably. I love that.

1:10:37

It's very good.

1:10:38

I know that's not really

1:10:40

a class, but you

1:10:41

know, which It is now. Oh,

1:10:43

that's true. Oh, that's true. Is it? There's some other Turkana about

1:10:45

it. I don't know. I don't

1:10:47

really follow that. I'm

1:10:51

so out of the game, man. Color's always kind

1:10:53

of been, like, a

1:10:55

part of Bard. Like,

1:10:57

you can be a

1:10:59

writing focused Bard. but

1:11:01

it's not according to the same study. You have to go to college

1:11:03

to be a bar. You think it'd be a

1:11:06

class if

1:11:06

you're not a hour. There

1:11:09

you go. There you go. I think

1:11:12

last time I

1:11:13

just kind

1:11:14

of blurted out barbarian. a

1:11:17

very bar, very in fashion, but I'm

1:11:20

I'm in your I'm in your boat there,

1:11:22

Kira? Definitely more bar. Mostly because I've I'm

1:11:24

not just extroverted, but I

1:11:27

would say shameless slash extroverted. Mhmm. I love Permian, perhaps.

1:11:29

i'll have a period perhaps

1:11:32

Won't you ask

1:11:32

us the next question, William? I would be overjoyed to

1:11:35

do so. Let's

1:11:35

see your strong moron. the

1:11:39

one that I didn't know how to pronounce last time. Do you

1:11:41

have any favorite moments that I end up

1:11:43

getting cut out of the

1:11:46

show? This is great question because

1:11:48

I get to tell you a secret. I

1:11:50

never cut anything out of the show ever.

1:11:53

I

1:11:53

don't write things if I don't intend to make them

1:11:55

happen. I just don't

1:12:00

And

1:12:00

if you guys don't

1:12:02

I'm gonna start getting to let

1:12:02

them get in there. Are the weird bloopers that kind of spiral out? Yeah.

1:12:07

Yeah. Okay. There

1:12:07

is one that I regret coming out of the show, and

1:12:09

it is the one where they're all doing masks.

1:12:11

And it is the

1:12:14

one where what balloon says that the answer to

1:12:17

the problem is sixty nine,

1:12:19

and Riley unprompted went nice.

1:12:21

And I did have

1:12:23

to cut out. But that's

1:12:25

it. That's my only moments of

1:12:28

cutting. Under No.

1:12:30

I think we all regret

1:12:32

that. Yeah. It's

1:12:34

regrettable, but I get it.

1:12:37

Another question

1:12:40

for Lauren. Catherine,

1:12:42

what is your favorite part of

1:12:44

sound production? And what type of work do

1:12:46

you wanna do in the future?

1:12:49

is it some

1:12:51

production? I mean, like, all of the editing you do,

1:12:53

I think. I mean, I guess of

1:12:55

the whole process editing is

1:12:57

my favorite, and then

1:12:59

part of editing I

1:13:01

guess, like, in this

1:13:03

case, like,

1:13:05

like

1:13:06

dialogue,

1:13:09

doing

1:13:10

the dialogue parts, like, putting all of those together

1:13:12

because

1:13:12

it's a lot

1:13:14

of, like,

1:13:15

attention to detail.

1:13:18

like attention to detail And then what do I in

1:13:21

the future? I

1:13:24

have

1:13:24

no idea.

1:13:27

More of

1:13:28

this, maybe

1:13:30

I I like doing

1:13:32

the

1:13:32

audio dramas. Yeah. It's a

1:13:35

very powerful person

1:13:36

who like dialogue

1:13:38

editing. I just wanna point out. So if you Oh, yeah. Upon like,

1:13:41

I

1:13:42

that was the thing that

1:13:45

always in the whole

1:13:47

process was the the part that was the most nerve wracking because

1:13:52

I I hate when I've left a small

1:13:54

little it's a small little piece of of

1:13:56

some like, of someone's

1:13:59

take in there that either

1:14:02

wasn't supposed to be there or was from another take and then the other the and finding the

1:14:04

small little artifacts

1:14:06

that are left there

1:14:10

was the part that I hated the most. And then

1:14:12

sort of organizing things in the right sequence

1:14:14

and then making a higher spaced. Correct?

1:14:18

Yeah. Actually,

1:14:18

really like that. I

1:14:21

was --

1:14:24

Wow. -- like, I

1:14:25

just did the that

1:14:28

crossover episode. I sent it to Hannah yesterday,

1:14:29

and I was thriving. Oh, it was dialogue. This is the crossover episode

1:14:32

with a

1:14:32

show called the Inn at

1:14:34

the Edge of Greenwood, which I

1:14:37

think we'll

1:14:38

have come out by the

1:14:40

time this happens. But if not, oops,

1:14:42

it's an announcement. I'll cut it out whenever.

1:14:48

Smilers. We'll come in and post.

1:14:50

We'll come in and post. Another

1:14:52

great one from Warren. What's

1:14:54

your personal favorite moment or line

1:14:56

from the show? This and I

1:14:58

I don't

1:14:59

wanna toot my own food here,

1:15:01

but I do really like the

1:15:03

brittle Godlands Fin State. This is

1:15:05

what? The Riddle

1:15:07

Godlands

1:15:07

Fin

1:15:08

State, you

1:15:10

don't remember that? Think what?

1:15:13

That was at the end of the swab. That

1:15:15

was like the Thanks. Okay. Thanks.

1:15:19

And cute. This is another caleb

1:15:21

caleb thing. This happened in the

1:15:24

last one. Yes.

1:15:27

No. I also. It was a

1:15:29

it was a dumb idea and

1:15:31

y'all made it work.

1:15:33

the

1:15:34

There were too many little

1:15:36

months to go

1:15:37

through, but they were mostly covered

1:15:39

in all my favorite episodes.

1:15:41

So Were there any fit particular

1:15:43

moments that you guys just love doing or seeing part of?

1:15:49

I

1:15:49

mean, JV, as Knowles, saying, work smarter,

1:15:51

not harder, has literally just become

1:15:53

my mantra when I'm

1:15:56

doing stuff at

1:15:59

work

1:15:59

because, you know, I I have

1:16:01

anxiety,

1:16:01

so I overthink everything. And then I

1:16:04

just hear JV back of my

1:16:06

head

1:16:06

going smarter, not harder. Smarter, not harder.

1:16:08

And I'm like, right. Yes.

1:16:10

So maybe you've been an inspiration.

1:16:13

In between, change in

1:16:16

life. Oh,

1:16:16

I love it.

1:16:18

I think there was one

1:16:20

in

1:16:22

and

1:16:23

I remember where it

1:16:25

was literally going back

1:16:27

and looking for it.

1:16:30

At the moment, trying to find where it was.

1:16:33

It was

1:16:35

I believe at

1:16:39

the end of

1:16:40

the is

1:16:41

yeah. It was

1:16:43

toward the end of the first one.

1:16:46

But the first one is the fourth season.

1:16:48

And the

1:16:51

There was

1:16:53

just

1:16:53

a

1:16:54

it it

1:16:55

was actually in the in

1:16:58

the sort of end bit with

1:17:00

with Sadia and Tessa,

1:17:02

I enjoyed just that entire exchange.

1:17:07

Yeah. Because it was just, I believe,

1:17:10

an annotated bit

1:17:11

where it says, she

1:17:14

so mysterious. Like, I

1:17:16

just yeah. No. That's exactly

1:17:18

it. Enjoy the mischievousness of

1:17:21

that whole exchange. It's real

1:17:23

fun. you and Arianna a

1:17:24

wonderful, mutual fan club that

1:17:26

I just really appreciate. 0II

1:17:30

love her so much. Oh,

1:17:34

good. You worked incredibly well together. Tell me, Caleb, do you have a favorite moment?

1:17:38

the we killed you have a favorite moments

1:17:41

I was

1:17:41

trying to remember

1:17:44

I can't

1:17:45

remember if this was a

1:17:47

take or, like, I changed

1:17:51

the, like but

1:17:55

the

1:17:57

tone that I was using

1:17:59

with the line, but

1:18:01

it was something

1:18:03

about caster recommending

1:18:05

Zara

1:18:05

some, like, smart books.

1:18:08

Oh, yeah. do

1:18:13

you guys like have known?

1:18:15

Yeah. Do you guys like I have

1:18:17

known? Yeah. Yeah. I I always think

1:18:20

about that. just

1:18:23

the fact that castor owns these and

1:18:25

has been toting

1:18:26

them around the

1:18:28

entire continent. like,

1:18:30

thought these were, like,

1:18:33

important enough to not

1:18:36

leave behind on

1:18:39

this adventure. wanna point out

1:18:39

that you -- For sure. -- you all decided it was

1:18:41

smart. That would be dumb. Well, is that

1:18:44

I I don't remember, like, how

1:18:46

it came about. I just remember

1:18:49

the fact that it happened.

1:18:51

It was Lucy. It's always Lucy. Of course. Yeah. It's always Lucy. Oh,

1:18:57

god. To that end also, all

1:18:58

of four eleven does

1:19:02

all of four eleven?

1:19:04

the Jabber I think it actually was my

1:19:07

favorite. I have to say that we think about it. All of four eleven. Oh, girl. I don't remember. But No.

1:19:09

No.

1:19:10

No. That's the travel game

1:19:12

then. Oh,

1:19:14

the potion. Oh, the potion. Mhmm.

1:19:16

I

1:19:16

forgot how many episodes of where this I

1:19:18

was much

1:19:19

better about rep remembering which episodes was which

1:19:21

in previous seasons because there

1:19:23

were fewer episodes to remember. You've all slept since then. Fair.

1:19:28

Oh my gosh. Yes.

1:19:30

The potion is extreme. Yeah.

1:19:33

Oh, very much so.

1:19:35

I have that idea to do the

1:19:37

potion for the previous group, and it just honestly did not

1:19:39

it didn't work as well. The

1:19:43

circle of crashes wasn't nearly as funny in

1:19:45

that one. It was just

1:19:47

a

1:19:47

wild. Just

1:19:50

so wild. just wild as a thing and then just

1:19:53

the I don't know. I I

1:19:55

enjoyed the premise of

1:19:57

beat and how it also just wound

1:19:59

up working out.

1:19:59

It

1:19:59

was very fun. And it was just

1:20:02

very fun to do that with everyone.

1:20:05

It's y'all are so

1:20:06

good. I liked it a lot. It was real fun to

1:20:09

play

1:20:09

with y'all in that

1:20:11

one. I do just wanna

1:20:13

say, Hannah, you are very good

1:20:15

at finding, like, just fun concepts and throwing them

1:20:17

at characters in very interesting ways. I wish I was better about

1:20:19

finding fun concepts because maybe that I

1:20:22

wouldn't have so much trouble writing season

1:20:24

five.

1:20:26

I

1:20:26

do wanna say that

1:20:28

the

1:20:29

let's see. Second of

1:20:31

last of season two, and you're

1:20:33

gonna have to help me out

1:20:35

here, but I remember just

1:20:36

meeting Hikma and the Fe Queen was a very

1:20:38

cool moment, and I thought that was very, very fun. Right. I don't

1:20:40

remember. That was the first time

1:20:42

that we had to cast for, like,

1:20:44

you

1:20:45

know, our external characters or one shot characters, that kind of thing. And it was very

1:20:47

exciting to see them in place. What's that a fun precedent

1:20:49

for, you know, season three and four

1:20:51

when we get

1:20:54

this

1:20:54

this broad group of people from all over the

1:20:56

world bringing some really cool voices to the

1:20:58

table. No. That's true. I'm really glad

1:21:01

that we ended up doing that before season

1:21:03

three when we had

1:21:06

to go all

1:21:08

virtual.

1:21:10

It

1:21:10

was a great setup. We were mighty fortunate in

1:21:12

that regard. Oh, yes. Yes. Indeed. Dude,

1:21:14

do you have a favorite moment? Yeah.

1:21:18

I

1:21:18

mean, it's kind of maybe a too easy one,

1:21:20

but realizing

1:21:21

that toad can

1:21:23

talk to the in

1:21:24

came after the in

1:21:27

Yay. Oh,

1:21:27

yeah. Understood. in

1:21:30

a moment. It's so

1:21:32

good. You're welcome. But

1:21:34

just thinking

1:21:35

about it. also.

1:21:36

And I wrote it.

1:21:38

It's just one of those

1:21:40

moments where

1:21:41

it's just, like, it's so simple and

1:21:43

he says it's so

1:21:45

flattly

1:21:46

and plainly and just like and then it's just like it hits you right in the middle of your soul.

1:21:48

And it's

1:21:49

not drawn out.

1:21:51

Like, it's just

1:21:52

That's

1:21:55

just how it is. A little tag

1:21:56

at the end, and then

1:21:58

it's so good.

1:21:59

That's what's

1:22:00

most valuable about

1:22:02

toad.

1:22:02

just plainly saying things that are so very good

1:22:04

and profound. Yeah. I think

1:22:06

that only

1:22:07

leaves Katherine, perhaps. Katherine,

1:22:10

have you said yours?

1:22:11

No. I've been, like, guess, really struggling this

1:22:14

whole time. I think

1:22:18

I

1:22:18

mean, I

1:22:20

back

1:22:20

up everybody's picks. I

1:22:23

think, specifically,

1:22:24

physically a really

1:22:26

I really like, the

1:22:27

ending for both groups, so the end of season

1:22:29

two and season four. And the --

1:22:31

Mhmm. -- differences in

1:22:32

lebron james then

1:22:34

how

1:22:34

they plan on going forward. I

1:22:36

got really

1:22:37

emotional at the end

1:22:39

of four when they

1:22:41

realized that they don't have

1:22:43

to part ways. You don't have to, you know,

1:22:45

leave your group.

1:22:48

I just like the

1:22:50

differences between those two endings.

1:22:52

So

1:22:52

cute. All of those moments.

1:22:55

This is a question

1:22:57

for from

1:23:00

Ellie. actors, what do

1:23:02

you like best about your characters? I like

1:23:04

i have sex with

1:23:07

I

1:23:07

like that nose is fine unless

1:23:10

there's a very, I guess,

1:23:12

understandable wrench thrown

1:23:14

into everything and just falls

1:23:17

apart. Just unravels entirely. Just Pretty hyper specific

1:23:20

Achilles heel.

1:23:23

Yeah. Unless you can't

1:23:27

predict how the universe works. And

1:23:29

then everything's bad just

1:23:32

for a very long

1:23:34

time. Just everything falls apart.

1:23:36

then, which well is

1:23:38

fitting because anxiety

1:23:39

and also and

1:23:43

not being able control how the world overall

1:23:46

works and is going to

1:23:48

respond to, you know,

1:23:50

your prompting and all of

1:23:52

that. is it's

1:23:54

it's difficult. It's difficult to sort of manage. So in those moments,

1:23:57

it's fun to

1:23:59

sort of It's fun

1:24:01

to sort of reflect that in those moments. And IIII

1:24:03

don't know. I just like I like

1:24:06

playing them a lot. It

1:24:08

was real fun, the whole

1:24:11

thing, but that specifically joy

1:24:13

in

1:24:14

the fourth

1:24:16

season. I

1:24:16

do love how

1:24:17

you touched upon the point that Knowles is extremely stable

1:24:19

and reliable unless the very

1:24:21

rules of the universe

1:24:24

fall apart. Which they

1:24:26

do. Mhmm. Which is super fair, honestly. Yeah. Mhmm.

1:24:31

French texting. Yeah.

1:24:33

yeah as

1:24:34

the

1:24:34

kids say a mood.

1:24:36

What do

1:24:38

you think? And what's

1:24:40

what's notable about

1:24:42

Zara? What's so special about Zara T.

1:24:44

Everything.

1:24:45

I love for

1:24:48

so much.

1:24:51

think

1:24:53

the biggest thing for me is

1:24:55

how, like, straightforward she is.

1:24:59

because

1:24:59

I am not, like,

1:25:02

by my nature, I

1:25:03

tend to be

1:25:07

sort of a

1:25:08

awkward

1:25:09

people pleaser. I'm not really good at calling people

1:25:11

out on their their nonsense, and she's

1:25:13

just like, uh-uh, we're

1:25:15

not doing this. I'm

1:25:18

too tired. I'm too old

1:25:20

and you're pissing me off. Please

1:25:22

just please stop without the police.

1:25:25

And,

1:25:26

you know, and she does really

1:25:28

care about people, which

1:25:30

I feel

1:25:32

like as she's written, that's a

1:25:34

really good

1:25:35

balance. Like, I feel like

1:25:37

some writers would have had her

1:25:39

just be mean or

1:25:42

be, like,

1:25:42

a thin veneer of mean on top

1:25:44

of a, you know, heart

1:25:46

of gold. And and the

1:25:48

heart of gold and the mean

1:25:50

is in, like, an exact fifty fifty concentration. And

1:25:52

so she loves you, but

1:25:55

she's also gonna punch you in

1:25:57

the face if you piss her

1:26:00

And I I

1:26:00

just I like

1:26:01

how she's written, and I like that she

1:26:03

is mean to people

1:26:05

who need to be mean too.

1:26:08

She's she's not gonna put up

1:26:10

with your nonsense. And She

1:26:14

may also get in a bar fight with wizards

1:26:16

with, you know, for our

1:26:19

boy wizards or get utterly

1:26:22

dragged for films by a

1:26:25

psychic party, but, like, she's gonna

1:26:27

stay true to true to

1:26:29

herself no matter what. I

1:26:30

mean, who hasn't been dragged by a psychicorney? Yeah.

1:26:33

I know. It's pretty

1:26:35

universal, I think. I

1:26:38

don't really get out of

1:26:40

the house much. So Like, I'm,

1:26:42

like, genuinely trying to think back to see,

1:26:44

like, I don't know. Even when I,

1:26:46

like, did do the light amount of performing.

1:26:48

Like, did that happen?

1:26:50

It didn't, but

1:26:51

that's more because -- Wow. -- I

1:26:53

don't know. I just don't interact with

1:26:55

psychics. I'll let them. Okay.

1:26:57

But wait. You were doing circus performing. You were one of

1:26:59

them. They wouldn't drag you. Oh, but wouldn't they?

1:27:02

But I didn't wait.

1:27:07

we likely would, but, you know, that would And

1:27:09

do you know how old they are

1:27:11

still performers?

1:27:15

Your kids. Well, okay,

1:27:16

Kira, have you been dragged by an attorney? I'd also roast

1:27:19

you for the big about your character. have

1:27:23

not

1:27:23

been dragged by a Carney, worse a pity. But,

1:27:26

yeah, I think

1:27:27

what I like most

1:27:30

about Sabeline is that she

1:27:32

is a a unique

1:27:35

adventuring type,

1:27:37

which

1:27:39

is the mom

1:27:39

friend, you know, incredibly

1:27:42

old, incredibly

1:27:44

competent, and

1:27:46

just very stable,

1:27:48

oddly. which, you know,

1:27:50

you don't really find an adventure

1:27:52

cruise. So I like I

1:27:54

like her being a very competent

1:27:56

capable mom mom friend adventure.

1:27:58

Do you wanna know something about Sibleene?

1:28:00

know something about siblings

1:28:03

Always.

1:28:03

My original thought about this character is that

1:28:06

she had a husband who went with

1:28:10

her adventure. That's

1:28:11

basically

1:28:12

It

1:28:14

just didn't work

1:28:17

with the thing I

1:28:19

was because then it would be like I

1:28:22

I was I was trying

1:28:22

to hit toad with the enormity of, like, now you have a whole family.

1:28:27

Yeah. But honestly, I didn't need to do

1:28:29

that because, like, the way that the

1:28:31

character ended up, he settled

1:28:33

very nicely into

1:28:35

this idea. See,

1:28:36

I thought you were just intimating that

1:28:37

she did have a husband, but he is gone now. Oh, no. No.

1:28:39

I didn't kill

1:28:42

off her husband. He has never existed. It's

1:28:44

fine. Okay. That's that's fine.

1:28:46

I

1:28:46

won't be upset. I

1:28:49

absolutely love

1:28:49

this idea of couples

1:28:52

adventuring now. got patched

1:28:54

out in the

1:28:57

beta version. If

1:28:59

you're doing dating. That's dating

1:29:00

is. This couples are

1:29:02

venturing. Oh. There you cut it.

1:29:07

just

1:29:07

a little bit, you know, fewer swords and whatnot.

1:29:09

I mean, again, if

1:29:10

you're doing it

1:29:11

right, not necessarily

1:29:13

the best point.

1:29:14

fewer goblins, I'd say. That's fair. Completely

1:29:16

out of

1:29:17

the constraints of our

1:29:19

universe. Wow.

1:29:20

No.

1:29:24

Just I mean, I don't know if you bring your kid along. Is a child

1:29:26

considered a goblin? Depends on how well these Sometimes.

1:29:28

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

1:29:30

No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No.

1:29:32

No. or

1:29:34

it's fine. Caleb, how Caster I for

1:29:38

i love caster for a

1:29:40

variety.

1:29:40

of reasons.

1:29:42

One of them is that I love high

1:29:47

end, low wiz them

1:29:49

characters as a general rule. I love that

1:29:52

this academic

1:29:56

made a pact with

1:29:58

the demon just, like, no fucking forethought, nothing, just,

1:30:01

okay, we're doing

1:30:04

this now.

1:30:06

like

1:30:07

the

1:30:08

I I love it. I love

1:30:10

it. It's so stupid. I love it.

1:30:16

I also love

1:30:18

characters whose, like, general character starts

1:30:23

off very like secretive

1:30:25

and not wanting to get involved with other

1:30:28

people and just

1:30:30

very paranoid and then

1:30:32

start to

1:30:35

open up and, you know,

1:30:37

create closer bonds with

1:30:40

people, you know, like,

1:30:42

it's a nice little

1:30:44

through line and it's something

1:30:46

that I always like put

1:30:48

into the tabletop characters that

1:30:51

I play. So, you know, good that

1:30:53

it's there.

1:30:54

I did it.

1:30:57

i did it

1:30:58

Dude, Hannah. I'm speaking

1:31:00

of Hannah, my dear sister. I have a feeling how you'll

1:31:02

answer this, but let us not forget our dear host to

1:31:07

our adventurers, Tessa. What the how what

1:31:09

do you love so much about her? Oh, I didn't expect this to

1:31:12

be turned

1:31:14

on me. Of course. She's she's pivotal.

1:31:16

I don't think of myself

1:31:19

as an actor. What I

1:31:21

do is barely acting because

1:31:23

Tessa is just me. a bit

1:31:25

older. All the So, like, I don't know. You're asking me what I like

1:31:27

about myself, which is several things I

1:31:32

would say. and they are. And it's

1:31:34

time to build your self esteem

1:31:36

with the crew. Please.

1:31:39

I I like that

1:31:40

i like that her

1:31:42

whole goal is hospitality. You

1:31:44

know, I think Tessa's like a little

1:31:46

she's crusty about it because she's

1:31:49

been doing it for

1:31:50

decades. But, like, her whole life goal

1:31:52

is to

1:31:53

make people feel at home, and

1:31:55

to make a space

1:31:56

where people feel

1:31:58

at home. and the in kind of like

1:31:59

has the same goal along with

1:32:02

that. It just like is able

1:32:04

to do that in a

1:32:06

more direct way because it

1:32:07

is magic. And I think that's what I

1:32:09

I like most and that's what I want

1:32:11

most for myself in the future

1:32:13

is to to make these

1:32:15

spaces of hospitality. So yeah.

1:32:18

Hannah, if I may Sweden's

1:32:19

teachers there, Hannah? Sorry. If I may,

1:32:21

can I ask a

1:32:22

question of you? Yeah. Sure.

1:32:27

How

1:32:27

long has Tessa known

1:32:29

the n? Oh, is a

1:32:30

very good question. In

1:32:33

the

1:32:33

cannon that lives in

1:32:36

my head, Tessa

1:32:36

has known the inn.

1:32:38

Okay. So Tessa's backstory goes like this.

1:32:41

She was an orphan.

1:32:43

She grew up all alone. She grew up in an

1:32:45

orphanage in a town called Split River

1:32:47

and like many people who

1:32:49

have traumatic childhoods

1:32:51

hates that town. hates

1:32:53

it so much. And but part of being in that orphanage

1:32:55

and split river

1:32:56

was she was the next town

1:32:58

over from the Castle White Tower.

1:33:02

which means occasionally they'd, like, bring the

1:33:04

orphans over for Christmas

1:33:06

or something. Mhmm. And

1:33:08

while she was in

1:33:10

the town outside Castle White Tower, She

1:33:12

saw the inn, which

1:33:14

was at the time abandoned. It was the mouldering

1:33:17

remains

1:33:17

of a place called

1:33:19

the giggling crane.

1:33:22

And

1:33:23

she decided that when she got

1:33:25

out of the orphanage, if no one had

1:33:27

claimed to the inn,

1:33:28

it would be hers. And

1:33:29

the inn had been alone for a

1:33:31

long time. And once it realized it was being an

1:33:33

inn again, it was like, oh, you're my new person.

1:33:36

Okay. Cool.

1:33:37

I did not know that there was so much

1:33:38

depth. I love that. All of the characters have this

1:33:41

much depth. You wanna

1:33:43

know about rebus? Like,

1:33:46

do you wanna know about, like, freaking I'm

1:33:49

trying to

1:33:49

think of someone in seasons three and

1:33:51

four with that much backstory? I don't

1:33:53

know. Actually, this is how Maxx Hello,

1:33:56

maybe. what? Marvolo, maybe. I bet there's

1:33:58

a cool story there. Do you mean confound though? Because Marvolo is a character from twelfth night.

1:34:00

Oh, sorry. What

1:34:02

the heck was I think?

1:34:06

can found it. This is fun.

1:34:08

I found out

1:34:10

not as much

1:34:12

except to say that

1:34:14

they were a Carney who

1:34:16

realized that they had psychic powers but didn't

1:34:18

necessarily know how to apply them in a way that would make them many more money than they

1:34:20

were making at

1:34:23

the carnival. Oh, funny.

1:34:26

But yeah.

1:34:27

No. All of all of the characters

1:34:29

had this much backstory. I think a lot about

1:34:31

the backstory of the

1:34:33

current rulers of

1:34:35

the human kingdom and

1:34:36

that whole royal family. I think

1:34:38

a lot about the backstory of actually, the

1:34:41

the

1:34:42

salesman from season two

1:34:45

I

1:34:45

think about him, like, all the

1:34:47

freaking time. Anyway, the suffice

1:34:49

to say if there's a side character chances are

1:34:51

there's a backstory for them.

1:34:54

If for no other reason, then I need to know

1:34:56

why

1:34:56

they act, how they act.

1:34:58

So yeah.

1:34:59

Fair enough.

1:35:00

All of the

1:35:02

way your brain works,

1:35:04

Hannah. Thank you.

1:35:04

This is my version of the

1:35:06

Tolkien World Building. I don't make con lengths or write

1:35:09

history books.

1:35:10

I just make back stories.

1:35:14

Alright.

1:35:15

So everyone listening at home, please,

1:35:17

both on your phones to see if I

1:35:19

mispronounce this. But from

1:35:22

Tully, Catherine, how long does it take to

1:35:24

edit an episode?

1:35:26

That that strongly

1:35:28

depends. On the length

1:35:31

and amount of characters, But I

1:35:32

haven't timed it

1:35:34

in a really long

1:35:36

i haven't timed in a really long time

1:35:39

time. it

1:35:41

probably takes,

1:35:42

like, six hours, I

1:35:43

think, give or take.

1:35:45

the think every take

1:35:47

Alright. Well, let me expand all

1:35:47

that. was the longest one to

1:35:50

edit. There was

1:35:51

I think there was

1:35:53

one in season before that was, like, twenty

1:35:55

minutes long. I don't remember.

1:35:57

Oh, that would be the

1:35:59

luck reducts. Yes. Allen took quite a

1:35:59

the

1:36:00

episode

1:36:04

that Hannah talking about the

1:36:06

beginning of this session where there was, like, nine characters. Mhmm. Take a while

1:36:08

too.

1:36:09

it was used

1:36:12

So, yeah,

1:36:13

it's a give or

1:36:15

but would up hours. Mhmm.

1:36:18

Okay. That's 606

1:36:21

but I'll be honest. That's wildly efficient. Like, very, very

1:36:23

that's very good in terms

1:36:26

of amount of time. I

1:36:29

I commend you for that

1:36:30

that, like, I've I've ever

1:36:31

the time that I've taken

1:36:32

me a full twenty four

1:36:34

hours to do just, like, overall,

1:36:38

So I that's that's great. That's

1:36:40

wonderful. Like -- Mhmm. --

1:36:42

you're doing good. It's hard

1:36:44

to time because they split up

1:36:46

I've already been focusing, so I do split up everything

1:36:49

over the course of multiple days.

1:36:51

It's kind of how

1:36:52

it's hard to time

1:36:54

it, but Same

1:36:55

here. Yeah. Even if you're wildly efficient

1:36:57

ways, we do not pay you enough.

1:36:59

So please become a patron

1:37:01

at Patreon slash to

1:37:04

come off. please make

1:37:06

sure these hours are well

1:37:08

spent. Okay.

1:37:12

I

1:37:12

have a question from Anne. If

1:37:14

you could do a crossover with any

1:37:16

podcast, what would it be

1:37:18

and any general plot ideas?

1:37:22

cereal serial. What? Yeah.

1:37:24

Murdered. Let's let's the truth. I don't

1:37:27

know. What are you saying?

1:37:29

Sorry. What can I say

1:37:31

anything? And I think that can be a crossover

1:37:33

just one of us, literal, real life cast

1:37:36

members being

1:37:38

murdered. So Yeah. That would be not great. That's

1:37:40

it. two three not it? Yeah.

1:37:42

If you if you get serial paying

1:37:45

attention to us, but I actually

1:37:47

don't want that at tensions. Absolutely

1:37:49

not. Yeah.

1:37:49

I'd like to put in a a disclaimer here,

1:37:52

cereal. You don't get to

1:37:54

get your grubby little hands on

1:37:56

this. Say

1:37:58

out of this. Absolutely not.

1:37:59

You wanna do a promo for us on

1:38:02

our on your show? We'll talk.

1:38:03

But I

1:38:04

won't do one for years because

1:38:06

everyone knows you. will

1:38:07

not gain any new listeners. There are none for

1:38:09

you to gain. Also, if there's a

1:38:11

killer on those because I

1:38:13

feel like my odds are low.

1:38:15

I'm very conspicuous. Also, I'm

1:38:17

large, so I'm an easy target. You run fast though. I do

1:38:19

not have it. You've seen me. I run

1:38:22

like a three legged

1:38:24

buffalo. I

1:38:26

run like a bigfoot who's had too many sandwiches.

1:38:28

Alright. You make a

1:38:31

good You just run faster

1:38:33

than me. I can run for a while, but

1:38:35

I can't run fast. I

1:38:38

think

1:38:38

if I had to

1:38:42

choose though

1:38:42

I I'm kind of liking this idea

1:38:44

of choosing a show that

1:38:46

it doesn't, like, fully seem

1:38:48

like it makes sense to do

1:38:51

that with. in terms of, like, I would

1:38:53

love

1:38:53

I would love

1:38:55

to to, like, do

1:38:56

a crossover with a

1:38:58

show, but in that, like,

1:39:01

the people who are, like, run

1:39:03

or are on that show become actors on this one. So it's

1:39:06

less of a, like, it

1:39:09

basically the full, like, group of people over at that one just wind

1:39:11

up at this one. Okay. You know what? I

1:39:13

see what you're saying, and they totally

1:39:15

did that

1:39:16

because I

1:39:19

all the Salix had the two girls

1:39:21

from spirits on as librarians having

1:39:23

to chat about ghosts and

1:39:26

also drinking, not the librarian.

1:39:28

That is a

1:39:29

perfect example of exactly what I was thinking. Yeah. It is

1:39:31

almost exactly, like, the kind of

1:39:33

thing that I worked hard

1:39:36

to do. that would

1:39:38

be real fun. I can't, at this moment, I I listen to

1:39:40

a lot of podcasts, like

1:39:42

an insane number of podcasts. the

1:39:47

number is less high than it

1:39:49

previously has been when I've told people

1:39:51

the number that I'm subscribed

1:39:53

to, but it is still wildly

1:39:55

high. Yes. You're among friends

1:39:58

here, JB.

1:39:58

Yeah. I

1:39:59

literally just don't

1:40:02

remember because the last time that

1:40:04

the last time we recorded together in

1:40:06

a fully different type of phone, so I just switched

1:40:10

all them over. to Apple, and

1:40:13

I didn't like that.

1:40:15

Didn't like that.

1:40:18

It's about Yeah. This

1:40:20

is not this is not a good podcatcher, but let me see if

1:40:22

it will Back to the back to the matter at

1:40:26

hand, though.

1:40:28

Yes. Well,

1:40:29

I would have said, you know what?

1:40:31

I would have said fun fiction, except we've already had one of them. So I don't

1:40:34

I

1:40:34

don't know.

1:40:35

That's true.

1:40:37

That would be Scotty. Exactly. plays And

1:40:40

learned because I am

1:40:41

forgetful. And both names

1:40:44

are fun. I

1:40:47

like the idea of Scottie coming back though because I

1:40:50

mean, Tal has played Tal Menear

1:40:52

has played, like,

1:40:55

two or three what awful characters on

1:40:57

the show and also Ryan from side questing. So why not?

1:41:00

I

1:41:02

don't know. Scottie

1:41:03

can be on twice. I don't mind. What? England's been at

1:41:05

least like three or four different

1:41:07

characters. Exactly. I kind of

1:41:09

like the idea of having

1:41:12

repeat actors simply because the meta

1:41:14

of this story is that it's a dungeons and dragons game.

1:41:17

It

1:41:18

does make sense.

1:41:22

it

1:41:22

does make sense. But It's

1:41:24

a pretty welcome. is going to

1:41:26

run out of voices. Yeah. Yeah. Exactly.

1:41:29

have a number

1:41:30

on here of how many? You don't need a number. Well, let's yeah. Let's stick

1:41:33

to

1:41:36

that question. I'll cure it. Yeah. Though

1:41:38

I do have another one, the beef and dairy network. Oh my god.

1:41:40

I

1:41:40

was real I was I

1:41:42

was almost afraid to say it.

1:41:46

I that would

1:41:48

be really fun. I don't know what

1:41:50

that episode would be like. Really,

1:41:55

really well. Honestly, I have no idea if that show is improvised or not.

1:41:57

I can't tell. And that's all

1:41:59

I do. It's probably

1:42:01

improvised, like, partially, I

1:42:04

don't know. Oh, he's a genius. I

1:42:06

would

1:42:06

work for with him in a minute. Absolutely. Oh, my god. I don't also don't

1:42:08

know

1:42:10

what that would be. I'm just the phrase Minotar Beef

1:42:12

has come to my mind and

1:42:15

I think there's a lot

1:42:17

to

1:42:17

work with there.

1:42:19

In what context? because I

1:42:22

don't know. Well, I well, I I have

1:42:25

affectionately referred to

1:42:28

manatees as C Beef recently. Caribbean

1:42:30

C Beef, specifically, for the --

1:42:31

Mhmm. -- for the

1:42:35

for the lands over near Florida. Those are

1:42:38

Caribbean seabee, that's what they're that's

1:42:41

what they're called. No. Don't eat

1:42:43

them,

1:42:43

but they're Caribbean seabee. Oh, they're

1:42:45

not endangered anymore. Didn't you hear?

1:42:47

Oh, wow. Yes. Natalie,

1:42:49

don't Are they no longer in danger? They

1:42:52

are no longer in danger. They're no longer

1:42:54

in danger. Yeah. Why do you not believe

1:42:56

that? Like, what Well, straight

1:42:58

up, believe the, like, that, like, I like,

1:43:01

no. It's not that I don't believe that that's a

1:43:03

fact. It's that I don't believe that I don't believe

1:43:05

them when

1:43:06

they say the paredilogue or

1:43:08

endangered. Oh, I respect

1:43:10

the manatees. I love them very dearly, and they die very easily because they do not a

1:43:12

lot. So you're saying

1:43:15

we should not partake of

1:43:19

the Caribbean to me. Yes. No. Don't don't

1:43:21

do that at all. Massachusetts

1:43:23

has listed has them listed on

1:43:25

our our website because one rogue one

1:43:28

came up from Florida, like, multiple years in

1:43:30

a row. I don't know why. It's just just one of them. But that is

1:43:34

just as a as a thing that our state can Anyway, sorry,

1:43:36

that's unrelated. Anything else left that as a fact?

1:43:38

I just say, I think you can believe

1:43:42

them unless it says, no longer in danger brought to

1:43:44

you by the CDs

1:43:46

Council. Yeah. Yeah. I

1:43:48

still say protect regardless of you

1:43:51

know? Well, yeah. because they're the world. Now

1:43:53

does anyone else have a good crossover

1:43:55

before we carry on? I

1:43:57

was just thinking, Kiera had mentioned

1:43:59

in the chat, the Magnus

1:43:59

archives earlier, and I

1:44:01

love me a

1:44:03

horror comment they and

1:44:06

the few and far between horror comedy

1:44:09

episodes of the Magnus archives

1:44:11

that they had are

1:44:13

some of my favorites. just

1:44:15

because they get kind of

1:44:17

heavy. But I just I

1:44:20

love the idea of

1:44:22

the archivists and his crew coming into the

1:44:25

in between universe and

1:44:27

interacting with how

1:44:29

d and d

1:44:32

interacts with eldridge abominations and gods and

1:44:34

cursed artifacts and stuff like that.

1:44:36

I think it would be

1:44:38

a a fun sort of what

1:44:41

you do? What with the cursed ambulance?

1:44:43

Sort of a vibe between, like, especially

1:44:45

if it was the

1:44:48

gang and the

1:44:52

obviously, interacting with Rosie

1:44:54

specifically from the crew

1:44:56

or the entirety of the

1:44:59

gang interacting with the archivists just

1:45:02

being like, you did what with what?

1:45:04

It's

1:45:07

think that would be really funny, I would not give to

1:45:09

work with the rest equal people. Oh

1:45:11

my gosh. Right? Oh

1:45:13

my god. I

1:45:15

would die. Kayla, did you have something?

1:45:18

Yes. So I'm not

1:45:18

sure how this would work, but

1:45:21

I would love to

1:45:23

see a crossover episode side

1:45:25

with this is not an audio drama. This is a tabletop

1:45:27

role play podcast.

1:45:32

but it's called Danes and

1:45:34

Dragons. And I love it. And I would

1:45:36

love to

1:45:39

see a crossover between these two shows. I

1:45:41

think that that has a lot

1:45:43

of comedic potential. things

1:45:47

and dragons, I feel like I haven't listened to yet. It's like

1:45:49

one of those on the list. So I'm gonna

1:45:51

tell you right

1:45:53

now it is straight up my favorite. Like out of all of the

1:45:56

ones out there, it is my favorite. This

1:45:58

is great. I've been trying to get into

1:45:59

these the

1:46:02

actual play universe more

1:46:04

and So this will be

1:46:06

a nice counterbalance to dungeons and daddies, not a BDSym podcast. That was gonna be

1:46:08

my original answer and then

1:46:10

I searched through my podcast cast

1:46:14

app, and I was, like,

1:46:16

hunting dragons. Both. Yeah. Go ahead

1:46:18

and

1:46:19

ask another question, my brother.

1:46:20

Alright.

1:46:22

I'm excited. Alright. From Anne, again,

1:46:25

if you could give one piece of

1:46:27

advice to new podcasters doing what

1:46:29

you do, voice acting,

1:46:31

editing, directing, etcetera, What would it

1:46:33

be? I know Caleb and

1:46:35

JV, you have both produced podcast

1:46:37

as

1:46:39

well as active in them. So I'm interested in your

1:46:42

answers to

1:46:43

this too.

1:46:46

I guess advice

1:46:48

wise

1:46:50

advice

1:46:50

the wise, it's

1:46:52

why it's really just

1:46:54

really just

1:46:55

the

1:46:57

who

1:46:58

Try

1:47:00

and

1:47:00

figure out just

1:47:03

generally how to, like, how

1:47:05

to just do baseline editing before you

1:47:07

start doing your project. So, like, if there

1:47:10

is any way to, like,

1:47:13

any way to like

1:47:15

I guess

1:47:15

a good a good thing to, like,

1:47:17

try to do. This is one

1:47:19

of the things that, in retrospect,

1:47:21

I wish I had done, but I

1:47:23

didn't do this. I just dove in, had knowing minimal things of

1:47:25

what I actually to do, which led to

1:47:28

numerous panic attacks, and

1:47:30

I do not recommend that.

1:47:33

However, one thing I

1:47:35

do very frequently now is narrating for various shows. And

1:47:40

so try just

1:47:42

going through and narrating a narrating a very short story, like, just something that's,

1:47:44

like, one to

1:47:47

two pages long that

1:47:50

has, like, character dialogue in it as well as narration. Even if you don't plan on using narration in anything

1:47:52

that you do, it's

1:47:55

still helpful to, like, know

1:47:58

how to deal with that. And if you figure out how to edit something

1:48:00

like that into

1:48:03

something that sounds good,

1:48:05

something that sounds good

1:48:07

and

1:48:07

is, like, workable and functional, and you've

1:48:09

timed that, and you can figure

1:48:11

out how long it takes

1:48:13

you to do that. You

1:48:15

can then reasonably know

1:48:16

how much time you might need to devote

1:48:18

to something to, like, put it all together and figuring

1:48:21

out how to

1:48:22

make it sound like

1:48:24

how to make it sound like a show

1:48:26

that you enjoy listening to, basically. So taking all of that, figuring out how to make

1:48:29

it sound like something

1:48:31

that you like that

1:48:33

you like listening to, do that before you

1:48:35

actually go to your, like, to your to

1:48:38

the project that you care

1:48:41

the most about. That was the thing that you don't care all that much about,

1:48:43

but that you want to make sure it sounds great. So that then and do that

1:48:45

before you've recorded anything for the show

1:48:47

that you act want

1:48:51

to do because then you will know what

1:48:53

will work, what won't work, what needs

1:48:55

a retake, what doesn't

1:48:57

need a retake, all those other things, you'll

1:48:59

have at least a baseline of experience to

1:49:01

work with when you go to do what

1:49:03

you actually want to do. That

1:49:05

is such good advice. Still

1:49:07

a wisdom. Mhmm. I

1:49:07

would add

1:49:09

the man

1:49:10

i would add

1:49:12

before

1:49:13

you record anything that you seriously

1:49:15

intend to use, have your season

1:49:17

written out ahead

1:49:20

of time. Oh

1:49:22

my gosh. Yes. to write the

1:49:24

season while you are recording, it's gonna be

1:49:26

a bad time for you and for everyone

1:49:28

involved. trust

1:49:30

me on this. Second, I would say

1:49:32

do not try to

1:49:35

produce beyond your means. What

1:49:39

does this mean? Don't be

1:49:41

afraid to ask for help

1:49:43

with the things that you need

1:49:45

to do producing a podcast. is

1:49:47

a lot of moving parts and a lot of

1:49:49

responsibility. And if you need help with

1:49:51

the social media,

1:49:55

ask there's nothing to be gained if you

1:49:57

do not ask for

1:49:59

help. Mhmm. along

1:50:03

that

1:50:03

train of thought, try not

1:50:05

to burn yourself

1:50:06

out. It's real easy to

1:50:09

burn yourself out. And

1:50:11

if you do, it's okay. It's

1:50:13

okay to put it down for a few months, even

1:50:15

a year, two years.

1:50:19

It doesn't matter don't make

1:50:21

up secret rules for yourself that you make

1:50:24

yourself follow. It's

1:50:27

okay to just put

1:50:30

a project down and let it breathe. Absolutely. Oh, one last

1:50:33

thing,

1:50:36

which is before you start

1:50:38

airing things, have it finished. And to

1:50:41

and

1:50:42

that end, like, when

1:50:44

if you're going to start

1:50:46

promoting the thing. And you I would recommend

1:50:49

doing that promoting

1:50:52

the thing when you have a

1:50:54

date already and preferably, like, maybe

1:50:55

about a month before,

1:51:00

maybe, like, that roughly

1:51:01

around there just so that

1:51:03

the waiting time is not too

1:51:05

long so that people

1:51:07

forget that it's coming

1:51:10

or something like

1:51:12

that. And also just knowing that

1:51:14

you have it all done will

1:51:16

make the actual airing of the

1:51:18

project itself go a lot you won't

1:51:20

have to, like, worry about a any last

1:51:22

minute

1:51:22

things that need to get changed during

1:51:25

the actual airing of

1:51:27

the things that way. your show can

1:51:29

air in a consistent way. It's just

1:51:31

it's a lot

1:51:31

it's a lot easier to know

1:51:33

that the thing is

1:51:36

fully done. that you took

1:51:38

the however much time you needed for that. You haven't done sorted.

1:51:40

That's all fine. And

1:51:42

it's just ready to go

1:51:46

for a particular date, and the

1:51:48

error date will be consistent throughout

1:51:50

that whole thing. Yeah. They're

1:51:52

so smart

1:51:53

so smart. Where are you

1:51:56

from? At this point, I've

1:51:58

been podcasting for, like,

1:51:59

since I wanna say twenty

1:52:02

seventeen, that is the one that's the one

1:52:04

piece of, like, anything

1:52:06

that I that unless

1:52:08

unless it

1:52:10

it's, like, like,

1:52:10

the newest show that I've decided randomly to

1:52:13

do just on a whim because

1:52:15

I like ranting about

1:52:16

movies

1:52:18

and whatever. like, that's the only one that I don't

1:52:20

have everything done, like, ahead

1:52:22

of time for. Because, again,

1:52:24

that recording process, well, like,

1:52:27

everything is ongoing. It's best.

1:52:29

It's so

1:52:30

stressful. It's so stressful. Even just banking a few

1:52:32

ahead in case of

1:52:35

a disaster, like, is

1:52:37

so stressful.

1:52:38

So Oh, so so much easier to freaking schedule people in,

1:52:41

like, a

1:52:44

couple months time that it

1:52:46

is, like, over the course of a

1:52:48

year. Like

1:52:48

Absolutely. I find it so

1:52:50

stressful that I cram it all into

1:52:52

one chunk of

1:52:54

the year. And now we're all scheduled and I know your availability and it's fine. It's fine.

1:52:59

Exactly. Mhmm.

1:53:02

Kerry, you've

1:53:04

been acting in many podcasts for a while.

1:53:06

Do you have advice for people who

1:53:09

want to become voice actors?

1:53:10

you know,

1:53:11

I was gonna say, I've been thinking about it

1:53:13

because when I started

1:53:15

podcast acting, I

1:53:17

was in one place and position in

1:53:19

my life and career. And now I'm in

1:53:21

a different place and position and

1:53:24

career. And

1:53:26

I guess my advice would be, especially if

1:53:28

you're like me and you

1:53:30

have the DHT, learn

1:53:34

how to schedule

1:53:34

stuff and and budget

1:53:37

time and budget

1:53:39

and recognize that, like, you can't

1:53:41

just log on five minutes before because

1:53:43

if there's gonna be you know, a technical

1:53:45

issue. There's gonna be a technical issue. So now I work a

1:53:47

full time job, so I I can't always

1:53:49

act as much as III

1:53:52

used to. and

1:53:54

that makes me very sad. Every

1:53:56

time I know audition passes, I'm like, oh,

1:53:58

but it's also

1:53:59

because I'm

1:53:59

not, like, budgeting

1:54:02

that time, like, you know, no scheduling that time. So -- Mhmm. -- so I guess something

1:54:04

I would say is unless you

1:54:06

are going to dedicate

1:54:07

yourself to it, as

1:54:11

a whole time thing and you just have, I don't know, a hundred million

1:54:13

dollars in the bank and you can just do

1:54:16

that.

1:54:18

Budget time,

1:54:19

understand that, you know, there's a lot it's

1:54:21

gonna take a lot of time, even just the recording

1:54:24

aspect of it. Even if you're not the

1:54:26

one doing any editing or anything, like that. Getting the take that happy

1:54:28

with. It's gonna take so

1:54:30

much time and and auditioning and

1:54:32

getting out, you know, like putting your

1:54:34

name out there. I mean, it's a

1:54:37

lot of the same when I

1:54:39

used to do musical theater too, but

1:54:41

yeah. I guess I guess my advice in

1:54:43

a nutshell is

1:54:47

plan. What

1:54:48

and get him figure out

1:54:50

how much of your

1:54:52

life you can dedicate to

1:54:54

it. and and make that commitment and be

1:54:56

committed to that for sure, but, like, also

1:54:58

recognize that, like, it is gonna take

1:55:00

a lot of time whether you're being paid

1:55:03

or not. That is real. So yeah.

1:55:05

k. That's good. Don't be so

1:55:07

hard on yourself if,

1:55:10

like, me. life is getting in the way and you can't do

1:55:12

it as much as he used

1:55:14

to. And so wise,

1:55:16

the realist,

1:55:20

the app absolute realest thing.

1:55:22

This time management becomes real complicated when you have to balance

1:55:25

all the

1:55:28

rest of all of

1:55:30

life and also doing this thing that is both fun and fulfilling and also

1:55:32

actual

1:55:36

work. Yep. And also a

1:55:38

reminder to, like, everyone to treat voice acting as actual legit

1:55:41

work because

1:55:44

it is for real. Treat voice acting

1:55:46

is work. Treat audio editing is work. The people, like, I I see

1:55:48

job listings sometimes for

1:55:50

sound designers that are just

1:55:52

insulting. it's

1:55:54

it's ridiculous. Like, I I

1:55:56

think my advice is make it

1:55:58

worth it to people even

1:55:59

if you can't pay them.

1:56:02

the like, with

1:56:04

Katherine before we had a

1:56:05

Patreon up and running, I

1:56:08

we

1:56:08

we worked out a

1:56:11

thing where it was an independent study to be my

1:56:13

producer. So there was college

1:56:15

credit involved, like

1:56:18

free college credit. with, you know, the season one

1:56:20

actors. I had

1:56:21

no money. I was in grad school, but they all

1:56:23

thought it was an interesting project.

1:56:24

And to them, it was worth

1:56:26

it to be involved. And, you know,

1:56:28

And accordingly, I tried not to ask them more than they were

1:56:30

willing to give because, like, you know, there's only so

1:56:33

much you can ask if for

1:56:35

a volunteer position. And

1:56:38

then

1:56:38

it's a big one. Yeah. So now

1:56:41

that, you know, we're doing a little crowd

1:56:43

funding and I could occasionally pay people, you

1:56:45

know, the the point is to make

1:56:47

things worth it to folks. Also, don't go into

1:56:49

it for

1:56:49

the money because there is no ain't no

1:56:51

money here. No. You said

1:56:53

the truck was in

1:56:56

the mail. You

1:56:58

said that three years ago.

1:57:00

I did say that. I can tell you

1:57:02

that at least for me it was worth

1:57:04

it just because I enjoyed doing this

1:57:06

with Hannah, and I I like supporting Earth this. So So nice. I I

1:57:09

if I have any two cents

1:57:10

to add at the

1:57:11

very least as

1:57:15

I

1:57:15

guess, the least podcasting person among us, but is also

1:57:17

just kind of a general behind the

1:57:19

scenes guy. Just be

1:57:22

supportive,

1:57:23

be helpful, and know,

1:57:24

look out for the other folks as much as

1:57:26

you can. Also, if you have a big crew and

1:57:27

they're all having a fun time, make sure you have at

1:57:29

least one person who

1:57:32

can say, all having a good time,

1:57:34

but let's get back into the talking. Yeah. I thank you, William,

1:57:37

for

1:57:39

being that person. I

1:57:40

like to be

1:57:41

that person. Very crucial. I feel slightly drag, but

1:57:43

very crucial. Yeah. It's

1:57:47

a it's a definitely,

1:57:50

this is why he's gonna be an excellent middle school teacher.

1:57:52

Oh, yeah. Yep. Do

1:57:55

you have

1:57:55

advice Catherine?

1:57:57

are you have advised challenge

1:57:59

the

1:57:59

Sure. I

1:58:00

was gonna

1:58:03

say that

1:58:04

if you're, like, first

1:58:07

timing it and you have

1:58:09

an opportunity come up, like,

1:58:11

just take it because

1:58:14

if because

1:58:17

Hannah and I met in a class that I

1:58:19

took and she walked in and was

1:58:21

like, I need help, which kind

1:58:23

of brings it back to

1:58:25

Caleb's point of asking for

1:58:27

help. And I wasn't sure because I'm an anxious and nervous and

1:58:30

scared person. I reached

1:58:32

out

1:58:33

and here

1:58:35

we are. And so things aren't

1:58:37

gonna happen for you if you don't

1:58:39

take the

1:58:39

opportunities as they

1:58:42

come. That's

1:58:42

such good advice. Excellent.

1:58:44

I'm putting one of our

1:58:46

one of our flagship

1:58:48

actors for this last couple

1:58:51

seasons. Tell me

1:58:51

what? What do you have out there for the actors? What is

1:58:54

your

1:58:55

wisdom? No pressure.

1:58:59

I mean, this is my first

1:59:00

time doing anything

1:59:01

like this. So,

1:59:04

I mean, first of

1:59:05

all, find a project that

1:59:07

you believe in.

1:59:09

like, if you see something

1:59:11

and you're coming into like, I was coming into season

1:59:14

three of this, So

1:59:17

when I saw the posting,

1:59:18

I was like, oh, that sounds fun. I'll listen to the show and mainline it in, a week

1:59:21

at work.

1:59:21

I just had it

1:59:24

all in ground

1:59:26

while I was doing stuff at work. And I was like, I need to be part of dear

1:59:28

god.

1:59:32

And,

1:59:32

I mean, also just, like, go

1:59:34

for it, especially in your auditions.

1:59:36

Just

1:59:37

throw everything at

1:59:40

the wall see

1:59:42

what sticks. If nothing sticks,

1:59:44

throw it

1:59:44

at another wall. You know, one of

1:59:47

one of my audition takes which

1:59:51

I think I still have it on my other computer. I hope I do

1:59:53

because it was funny. It was

1:59:56

because the vibe of

1:59:58

the, like, audition

1:59:59

line for for

2:00:01

Zara was basically

2:00:02

her reading somebody for thinking that she didn't

2:00:04

know what she

2:00:07

was talking about. Then I

2:00:10

was like, this reminds me of legally blonde. I'm gonna do this as evil l woods

2:00:12

because there is on my computer

2:00:14

a What the fuck labeled

2:00:19

Valley Girls Ara. Yay. And

2:00:22

that wasn't the one

2:00:24

that we went with.

2:00:26

but it was incredibly fun to

2:00:28

do. It was just like, I'm gonna

2:00:30

do this. I'm gonna see if they

2:00:32

they want this. And if they

2:00:35

don't, I've got another one that's just like my natural voice

2:00:37

and that'll go for

2:00:39

that. So that's what I

2:00:41

always tell everybody in the

2:00:44

discord when like, Hannah posted about the audition. So

2:00:46

I was like, just just go for it. If you don't think

2:00:50

that you will fit or you don't think that you have

2:00:53

the right voice or whatever, just

2:00:55

don't for it. Because your

2:00:59

ideas may not be the director's ideas, but they may decide that

2:01:01

your idea is something that they want

2:01:04

instead. Mhmm.

2:01:07

Like, If you have a good director, they are going to

2:01:09

pick the one that they vibe with

2:01:11

the ideas of the

2:01:15

best rather than the one that

2:01:16

just, like, fits into their narrow

2:01:19

little box of, I watch

2:01:21

this character to do XYZ

2:01:24

Like, If you can do

2:01:26

XYZ and bring something personal, that's what's gonna really vibe

2:01:29

with a director.

2:01:32

So just go

2:01:33

for it. Sure. And don't be self conscious. That was my

2:01:35

biggest problem in season three as

2:01:36

I just

2:01:40

kept, like, I

2:01:41

I was too self conscious about a lot

2:01:43

of things. It's just like, you're an actor, act. That was

2:01:45

the season where I was

2:01:47

like, no meaner. Yeah.

2:01:50

You think You think you

2:01:52

think it was a freaking thing. You know what

2:01:54

I said? Just me or bigger. Yeah.

2:01:57

In the when we were recording

2:01:59

the in between the two takes that we

2:01:59

did for the bonus episode, you were like, you

2:02:02

can go meet her. Like, if you want to,

2:02:04

you can

2:02:06

go meet her. I think it's on the blue burrito. I said

2:02:08

something of something to the effect. I

2:02:10

think all my notes are just gonna

2:02:12

be be a

2:02:15

bigger bitch. That's right. And that's

2:02:17

another piece of advice is that if you're

2:02:19

playing a mean character, being mean, like, you're acting

2:02:23

with adults. don't be worried that somebody is gonna take it personally

2:02:25

because it is not you saying it to

2:02:27

them, it is your character.

2:02:29

Honestly, if I

2:02:31

had an actor who took that kind of

2:02:33

thing personally, I probably would not work with them. Yeah. They're

2:02:35

in people's

2:02:36

lives emotionally

2:02:39

for short. periods of time. It's funny. And then compartmentalize

2:02:41

and It's been the children.

2:02:44

thereafter. It's

2:02:46

okay. in. Yeah. No. You all have been oh, you

2:02:48

you guys are always such pros. So

2:02:50

I never I never worry about that with

2:02:52

you guys because I I trust that you know what

2:02:55

you're doing and that you know friction.

2:02:57

I'm just imagining this weird ultimate dimension where we're

2:02:59

all just easily affected by

2:03:01

what I'm fictional characters

2:03:04

say. I I

2:03:07

my main interest that I will fully

2:03:09

laugh when someone drives

2:03:11

my car. Because it's

2:03:14

genuinely funny to me. Because it genuinely

2:03:17

funny to me and also become like,

2:03:19

wow. Then okay. So I shouldn't

2:03:21

be taking it personally, but I am

2:03:23

a little bit because I

2:03:26

relate to that particular aspect and this does fit. You're not wrong and that's

2:03:28

when why

2:03:33

I'm emotionally taking it this way, but it's fine and I'm going

2:03:35

to laugh about it because you Don't tell her

2:03:37

this, she'll get

2:03:39

all self conscious about hurting your

2:03:42

feelings, Jamie. No. No. No. No. It's fine. We're all friends. You channel you

2:03:44

channel that feeling

2:03:47

into your performance. Like,

2:03:50

you take that okay. You didn't need to

2:03:53

put it that way. You're right, but you didn't need

2:03:55

to put it that way and go

2:03:57

with it. This is a

2:03:59

this is a question for Lauren. Everyone,

2:04:02

if you

2:04:02

could choose anybody in the world

2:04:04

to guess a star on the

2:04:07

show, who would it

2:04:08

be, and what sort of character would

2:04:10

they play? Literally, anyone. Literally,

2:04:12

anyone. I

2:04:14

will tell you a short anecdote. I had this

2:04:16

experience for another show where

2:04:18

I was like okay. This is

2:04:20

a show I'm doing with people who

2:04:23

are so about professional and know how to do things contact agents. And one

2:04:25

of them was like, what if I just

2:04:27

got David Tennant? And I'm

2:04:30

like, Oh my gosh. What if we got David Tennant,

2:04:32

though? So we relished in that

2:04:34

image for a while. And then

2:04:37

the fourth producer

2:04:39

who is like a professional in every sense of

2:04:41

the word and not like a freelancer. She's like, you know his day rate is

2:04:44

like ten thousand pounds a

2:04:46

day. Right? Like, you know that.

2:04:48

Right? And we're like,

2:04:50

oh, okay. So that's not practical. We were being we were being serious. She

2:04:52

was like, you

2:04:55

guys are joking. So

2:04:58

anyway, all this to say, it would be somewhat expensive because this is fantasy and I get

2:05:01

to do what

2:05:04

I want. It's

2:05:05

not an Elviso. Oh. Fuck.

2:05:07

Yeah. Actually It has really good comedic timing.

2:05:09

I love

2:05:12

it. Yeah. is

2:05:13

Lizzo. Lizzo. Go

2:05:16

ahead. Oh, anything.

2:05:18

Just watch her show. you

2:05:23

precious being I love that you have to Google,

2:05:25

Lisa, right now, that makes me that makes

2:05:27

me very That

2:05:29

that makes me laugh at face. just gonna be over here trying to

2:05:31

figure out to you forever. That's all. I would

2:05:34

I would I hope Leso is

2:05:36

I would cast Leso as some

2:05:38

kind of goddess or queen probably.

2:05:41

but

2:05:41

like in a fun way. Okay. Not not be

2:05:43

such a good Raven Queen? She would be such a good Raven Queen

2:05:46

when you're so genius. Oh

2:05:50

my god. Mhmm. That just came to me. You

2:05:52

said, goddess. I

2:05:55

was

2:05:55

like raving queen. Hey, I

2:05:57

have a vague knowledge of who

2:05:58

she is now. Sweet. Out of

2:05:59

you. if you're she is now swing

2:06:02

have you

2:06:03

Cool. I

2:06:04

want Lindsay Lohan

2:06:06

from two thousand three. Hey. Alright. We did say

2:06:09

anyone.

2:06:12

Okay. And you wanna do a

2:06:14

parent trap episode of the show? That's No. Because that was

2:06:16

earlier. Yeah. We already got it. And then

2:06:18

I just sent you a parent trap.

2:06:22

down. JV knows where it's

2:06:24

where it's where it's where it's in the

2:06:26

area. This is post busy. in

2:06:29

the area. Right? Exactly. This is the mean

2:06:31

girls there. The mean, Jesus Christ. And I kind

2:06:33

of I don't know what I'd want

2:06:35

her to play, but I know

2:06:37

she could do pretty much anything, and I

2:06:40

would I would love it. I just I

2:06:42

don't know what it'll be, but I enjoy

2:06:45

whatever it would be. What's nice about

2:06:47

Lindsay Lohan circa o three is that I know

2:06:49

she could do serious, so I'd put her in

2:06:51

a main character. There is

2:06:53

a role next season. of

2:06:54

a Feige character who has a

2:06:57

tragic backstory as is the

2:06:59

want of this show. And I

2:07:01

would cast her is that. Yeah.

2:07:03

I could If that would work. Also, I

2:07:04

want to give her an ax.

2:07:06

Yeah. Oh my god. Who

2:07:08

else? Look at her an

2:07:10

ax. You can't you

2:07:12

too. Honestly, I feel like

2:07:14

her life might have gone smoother and better

2:07:15

if at

2:07:16

some point

2:07:20

early on she

2:07:22

was like, one train to fight for just some reason, just whatever reason just

2:07:25

whatever reason fight

2:07:28

training

2:07:28

at. to happen. So we

2:07:30

we're saying that we should her an x. Yes. If we had given headed

2:07:32

x since

2:07:35

two thousand three, everything would

2:07:37

have gone better for her. So, personally, that's

2:07:40

I I will stand by that.

2:07:42

I genuinely actually think that that's

2:07:46

true. I mean, she's gonna have some swords and

2:07:49

parent trap, so we just gotta upgrade that a

2:07:51

little bit, and then we're we're on the right

2:07:53

track. I like the way I like

2:07:55

this alternate history we're building. I

2:07:57

wanna hear from

2:07:59

someone else. Give me more fan casts.

2:08:04

mean, I want weird all yankee yankee

2:08:06

yankee yankee yankee yankee yankee yankee. Can he be the minitor?

2:08:09

Yes. He can be the minitor. Alright. Cool

2:08:11

deal. In our crossover episode with Beef and Dairy Network, he

2:08:14

can play the Minotar, and I don't

2:08:16

know. Someone else will play

2:08:18

someone who wants to eat him.

2:08:20

It'll be great. Caleb,

2:08:22

what do we need on the show? Besides Lindsay Lohan and Rubik? I would

2:08:25

love to see

2:08:28

Natasha Demetrio in

2:08:32

this show setting. They were

2:08:34

even getting close. Who do

2:08:36

not know? She plays

2:08:38

Nadia. and what we do in the shadows. The Hulu

2:08:41

show. Oh my

2:08:43

gosh. Okay. It's

2:08:47

so cool. I would love

2:08:47

yes. Yes. Yes. Yeah. Her

2:08:50

comedic timing also is

2:08:53

fucking flawless,

2:08:55

honestly. wanna

2:08:56

know what

2:08:57

she does as

2:08:59

not a

2:09:01

vampire. I don't

2:09:03

know.

2:09:05

Natasha,

2:09:08

you are now

2:09:10

a tiny

2:09:12

bubble fairy. Go

2:09:12

nuts. Like an

2:09:14

agro one, I

2:09:15

think. Absolutely. Do

2:09:17

a really good

2:09:20

mean fairy. I'll

2:09:22

have Tinkerbell. Yeah.

2:09:24

What

2:09:24

are the big names

2:09:26

can we attract to our

2:09:29

medium sized show? I can't

2:09:31

a big no. What is daddy

2:09:33

names? I

2:09:34

don't have

2:09:35

those, William. I

2:09:38

don't have the big

2:09:40

names. I have these names who

2:09:42

I love who are not movie stars, but they

2:09:44

are Actually, not fair enough.

2:09:46

I think I think I had

2:09:49

these are kind of media names

2:09:51

because I have no idea who some

2:09:53

of these people are. Catherine, any suggestions for

2:09:54

aspirational greatness in our little show?

2:09:58

I

2:09:58

was

2:09:59

thinking, you know, Birch. Hey.

2:10:01

I have to do it

2:10:04

again. I have

2:10:06

to do

2:10:07

it too. I'm obsessed with her?

2:10:09

Tell

2:10:09

me about Gina Birch. What's she about? She's well, she's a

2:10:11

drag queen -- Mhmm. --

2:10:15

and blue. Six extremely blue. Oh, gosh. Oh, blue.

2:10:17

Dude, I'm so glad to have you on the

2:10:20

show.

2:10:20

Please

2:10:23

don't swear. stops where We

2:10:25

could use more

2:10:27

drag on this

2:10:29

show, I think.

2:10:31

don't know how you would represent that in a non visual medium, but we could

2:10:33

figure it out. Her her voice is

2:10:35

pretty unique.

2:10:37

Oh. Do that. to

2:10:38

that end, if we're recommending Drag Queen's

2:10:41

alter cast. Yeah.

2:10:42

Yeah. Discourse, I'd say.

2:10:44

That would be so amazing. Here

2:10:47

was

2:10:47

sort of a hotel and do you think

2:10:49

needs to be here? And is there anyone that

2:10:51

I've heard of? Essentially,

2:10:53

I was gonna

2:10:55

say since I'm still dreaming of

2:10:56

the in

2:10:58

between musical episode. You

2:11:02

know, all our rows from the bright sessions, you

2:11:05

know. Some some

2:11:07

singing person,

2:11:08

maybe a Broadway

2:11:11

person, or even maybe

2:11:11

another, you

2:11:12

know, kinda RPG

2:11:14

adjacent person. Like, I

2:11:17

know, critical role or

2:11:19

a Bailey sings and That

2:11:21

sort of stuff stuff. Oh. These names are also too big for

2:11:23

me. So when you said Broadway, I just

2:11:25

thought Hugh Jackman, you're

2:11:28

not wrong.

2:11:29

Actually, this is

2:11:31

a a good segue into the next question.

2:11:33

Well, would you go ahead and read the next

2:11:35

question? You know, I saw this one coming

2:11:37

and I'm like, man, do you know going on here.

2:11:39

Let's see here. From Hannah, no not

2:11:42

our Hannah, ever considered a musical

2:11:44

episode. No.

2:11:48

No. I can't write music.

2:11:50

No. I can't even write

2:11:53

lyrics, guys.

2:11:55

No. Health. You

2:11:56

can do a really

2:11:58

fun jukebox musical.

2:11:59

Wow. Yeah.

2:12:01

You're far

2:12:04

beyond. Right? that's a problem for

2:12:06

with that one audio drama that wasn't musical

2:12:08

that I

2:12:09

I didn't listen to it,

2:12:11

but I know that I

2:12:14

know that it's good. Oh my god. Yeah. That one that was all over the audio virtual world. would oh,

2:12:18

are you talking

2:12:20

about In strange

2:12:22

woods, are you

2:12:22

talking about the flame? because I know they were there too. I forgot which think the flame

2:12:25

was the one

2:12:25

that I'd heard about, but

2:12:27

the other one

2:12:30

Yeah.

2:12:30

Either of them really. Okay.

2:12:33

Lauren's shipping is Title

2:12:35

alone.

2:12:36

Title alone in strange ones,

2:12:38

probably. Lauren Shipping is maybe not too

2:12:41

big of a name for me,

2:12:43

Lauren. How can I get it? There's

2:12:45

a lot of six degrees of separation from

2:12:47

this show and and You

2:12:49

know? I mean, hey,

2:12:51

Lauren Shipping was in Jim Robbie. I think that you could probably get

2:12:53

Lauren.

2:12:58

ARM

2:12:58

chipping works for iHeart. No. I don't know.

2:13:01

Oh, fair that was.

2:13:03

Oh, trust iHeartRadio. Yes.

2:13:05

I also don't trust

2:13:07

them. They're a monopoly. That is

2:13:09

fair. Alright. Last question from

2:13:10

Ella and Kate. What would you say to your character if

2:13:13

you met them? Oh,

2:13:15

this one

2:13:16

again.

2:13:18

Can

2:13:18

I just say, if I ran into

2:13:20

the little goblin, I'd say, here buddy, here's

2:13:22

a fiber. I'll be on my way.

2:13:25

I will pay the tribute. There's

2:13:27

the comedic

2:13:29

answer

2:13:30

that is also

2:13:34

slightly true. which it depends on

2:13:36

the moment at which I am meeting them.

2:13:38

I feel like if I've met them

2:13:41

real early I wouldn't have said, ACAB

2:13:44

baby is left.

2:13:46

But that like,

2:13:48

but that that would

2:13:50

be That

2:13:51

would be that. So I think it

2:13:53

in,

2:13:53

like, a

2:13:55

the this was

2:13:57

in a slightly

2:13:59

more, like, seriously. What would I

2:14:02

say though? It would be a bit of a pat on the

2:14:05

back and say, like,

2:14:07

the universe is never actually fully going

2:14:08

to make sense, love. It just won't

2:14:10

just sit with that and just keep

2:14:14

that but plan for it to not make any sense, and

2:14:17

you should be fine. I

2:14:18

love that.

2:14:19

Plan

2:14:21

for chaos. and you'll never

2:14:23

be. I am extremely horrifically surprised.

2:14:25

I'm already starting to

2:14:27

see

2:14:27

a parallel with our

2:14:30

last answers to this, but I'd like to hear everyone

2:14:32

else before I before III

2:14:34

mentioned it. Yeah. What

2:14:36

would you have to say? I would

2:14:38

have I would have absolutely nothing to

2:14:40

say. I think,

2:14:41

you know, we're all hanging out. And,

2:14:43

you know, no notes. keep

2:14:45

on doing you a hundred percent. You

2:14:47

you're killing it. I'll say you were with with you

2:14:49

can on it

2:14:50

much

2:14:53

less baggage going on. Yeah.

2:14:55

A rare baggage, fairly baggage free character. Amazing

2:14:58

what a character was

2:15:01

family friends at a good

2:15:03

support system will do. Yeah. Ain't that ain't that

2:15:05

the way. Ain't that

2:15:07

just the way. But

2:15:10

yeah. No no notes for sibling. Keep

2:15:12

on, keep in mind. When

2:15:15

what what words of

2:15:17

of you

2:15:18

know, conversation wisdom.

2:15:20

Maybe just

2:15:21

pound around what

2:15:22

do you have for Zara?

2:15:25

I don't

2:15:27

know if she'd listened to me.

2:15:30

oh

2:15:34

I

2:15:35

probably just tell

2:15:37

her

2:15:38

that what other

2:15:39

people think about

2:15:42

you doesn't

2:15:42

define you, and

2:15:44

it doesn't have to define

2:15:46

you. And just saying that

2:15:48

it doesn't define you doesn't

2:15:51

mean that it doesn't actually make

2:15:53

you feel like it defines

2:15:55

you. So, also, these

2:15:57

people

2:15:58

do actually

2:15:59

love you.

2:16:01

And

2:16:02

if

2:16:03

you love

2:16:03

them back, it's

2:16:05

going to feel more

2:16:07

real a lot faster.

2:16:08

That's beautiful.

2:16:10

I love that. Yeah. I'm

2:16:13

trying to

2:16:15

share yours again.

2:16:18

Say again?

2:16:19

I was just wondering

2:16:20

if you'd like to

2:16:22

share yours again. Oh, yeah. I

2:16:25

have a slightly different answer for a

2:16:27

slightly different, like, period, I guess,

2:16:30

a little earlier in

2:16:32

calf his

2:16:36

life, I

2:16:38

would probably tell him that

2:16:41

hell him that

2:16:42

the

2:16:44

truth is always

2:16:47

going to be less painful than less

2:16:50

painful than lies

2:16:53

because I think that

2:16:55

lying is

2:16:57

a lot of

2:16:59

what he did

2:17:02

in the beginning, and it would

2:17:04

have solved

2:17:08

a

2:17:08

lot

2:17:11

of problems. Well, hey, thank you all joining us for
