2:27

Four said served era his anybody was

2:29

2:34

little bury her little bit before. But

2:37

I hadn't until my house. as she was,

2:39

she has her new title. Yeah.

2:44

But I just wanna say either sin because

2:46

before we look for it I do think

2:48

we have to look back a little or

2:50

to think about how he arrived that the

2:52

spot were standing up today. Onwards

2:56

and a hand is fading out

2:58

and it works. It works for

3:00

the future and the past And

3:02

back to the teacher. So

3:05

Becky wants to know what was your inspiration

3:07

for feeding Tcm Henri my number. Forty days

3:09

says he's grateful for his job, where he

3:11

does to make great shows, where craziness happens,

3:13

the problems get solved and he said early,

3:16

have happy endings with people who like each

3:18

other and work together. Love that. That's exactly

3:20

why I love she's in contact so how

3:22

did she see him from about what was

3:24

the first? So. Thank. You. Are.

3:26

We seeing your day before we get into Iraq

3:28

though he said this week was agreed. Example: When

3:31

we are in the studio recording the crowd sounds

3:33

for fourth and inches and David I always look

3:35

at heated or likeness I guess is as are

3:37

up against her Scissors job isn't This is a

3:39

man who and similar and everybody and everybody would

3:42

gold like pretend like you're being tackled. was like

3:44

a people to be. Some

3:47

people who may have never seen football before

3:49

that is was assessed. O'clock and in

3:51

as a podcast factory. but

3:54

i might say and it and even

3:57

i have to have slightly different memories

3:59

of how genes conflicting. Yeah,

4:01

conflicting. Yeah. Well, it started with Mars

4:03

Patel. First of all, Mars Patel was

4:05

made before we were a company. And

4:08

then we made several shows before we were Gen Z

4:10

Media. Mars Patel was just,

4:12

it was going to be a show.

4:15

And we made the first few episodes and then

4:17

the thought at that time was we were going

4:19

to shop it around and see if anybody wanted

4:21

to, you know, get on board and make the

4:23

rest of it. And then at that point, nobody

4:25

was doing audio fiction or very few people and

4:27

so we just made, we decided to make the whole

4:29

show. Yeah, we funded it ourselves.

4:32

We funded it ourselves. Wow. I didn't realize

4:34

that. Yeah, we sat down in my little

4:36

tiny studio, which was in my old house

4:38

here in Maplewood, which was literally a room

4:40

off the side of the living room. I

4:43

went at it from there. Wow. And then

4:45

Mars Patel took off. It got listed

4:48

on all these best of lists and

4:50

when the Peabody and next thing you

4:52

know, we've got a business and

4:54

we're making more shows. Yeah. Yeah.

4:56

And then at that time, Dave, I think

4:59

we made a couple of shows for other people. We

5:02

did. We made, our first shows

5:04

were for Panoply. Yeah. They

5:06

were our, they were our shows,

5:08

but they paid us to produce

5:11

them, but they own them. Anyway,

5:13

we made Ghost of Jessica Majors,

5:15

which unfortunately does not live on

5:17

gzmshows.com yet someday. I haven't heard that

5:19

one yet. It's really good. Yeah. I've

5:21

heard that. And you know,

5:23

all through these times, like we said, we were learning how

5:25

to do it, you know, and it was just the three

5:27

of us really. And didn't you guys

5:29

meet through some sort of like writers

5:31

group or something? Yeah. So I

5:33

met Ben when I moved here

5:35

to New Jersey, my book had

5:37

just come out and Ben. The

5:39

Bigfoot book, right? Yeah. And Ben

5:42

had a book, a children's book that had come

5:44

out. The dog book. Yeah, the dog book. And

5:46

so, so mine was like, mine was like, and

5:48

Dave, oh, the plane book. Oh, the

5:53

plane craft book. Yeah.

5:55

And mine was like

5:58

a adult short fix. book

6:01

and and and Ben's was a

6:03

children's book and we met at a sort of

6:05

little get-together and started talking and then just sort

6:07

of kept in touch and I think met at

6:09

a writers group a writers group came out of

6:12

that you know where you bring your writing and

6:14

everybody sort of talks about it and and

6:16

then and then he met Dave elsewhere Dave

6:18

you were on that side of the yeah

6:20

we I was invited to some someone was

6:22

having like it was like drinks for YA

6:25

and kid authors

6:27

or something wow and I felt the

6:29

story before but I noticed throughout the

6:31

night that Ben was looking at me all night

6:33

and whenever I talk he's paying

6:35

a lot of attention to what I was saying

6:38

and I was like these guys really interested in what

6:41

I have to say and I think he was interested

6:43

because he was he had this thought of doing it

6:46

audio fiction and when I said that I've worked in

6:48

soaps and we had done radio stuff I think he

6:50

was like right that's interesting he said I met this

6:52

guy this other guy and that's when I met that's

6:54

when I met Dave you know the funny thing is

6:56

Dave I remember the same thing from when I met

6:59

Ben he at that time

7:01

I had just gotten this gig with a guitar player a

7:03

big sort of famous New York jazz guitar player who I

7:05

was you know like if you had asked me before I

7:07

moved to New York like who do I want to play

7:09

with he would have been like you know my top five

7:12

it sort of felt like the culmination like the

7:14

top of my jazz bass playing

7:17

jazz career in New York because I had he

7:19

had called me and I had played like a

7:21

couple weeks with him and I

7:23

was talking about it and of course Ben

7:25

was watching me from the corner he came

7:27

over he goes you you played with him

7:29

I love you know he of course Ben

7:31

like knows a lot about a lot of different

7:33

things and so he was yeah he had heard

7:35

of him and was you know oh yeah you

7:37

know he had been to see him you know

7:39

he had a regular gig this guy down at

7:42

in the West Village and so he had been down there

7:44

and so he was just very interested I was like who

7:46

is this guy he sure knows a lot about you

7:49

know obscure obscure famous jazz musician

7:51

so that yeah that was I'm

7:53

that's one of my earliest recollections

7:56

of meeting Ben that's

7:58

nice yeah there you go that's it So

8:00

I mean that's some pretty here. I need a question

8:03

Becky. It. Is a great question back

8:05

and that I know everybody wants to

8:07

know what's going it's was going expert.

8:09

Let's also reflect the quicker with this

8:11

year was this mean. We

8:15

you know that the company. Has

8:17

been around now for white. Six.

8:20

Seven Year I seen my

8:22

I saw him. five for

8:24

Jersey Media. Believe Maria Mars,

8:27

Beatles? Seven or so Yeah.

8:30

And I'm coming up on my. Fourth

8:32

year it popped up the other day

8:34

find a guy criminal leaves like a

8:36

of thing him I was like wow.

8:39

Yeah and this has been a really

8:41

incredible year and I think like I

8:43

think I'll agree I think we really

8:45

exploded to see are like we have

8:48

had to gain some incredible team members

8:50

because how does the work load of

8:52

at all and spanned were creating shows

8:54

at a rate we didn't know. It

8:56

was possible And and we still and we actually

8:58

live. We sit on your you know how thing.

9:00

As. Possible by. I think the ideas as

9:03

is flowing and the partnerships are growing

9:05

and it's just it's isn't actually incredible

9:07

and I think the contest that was

9:09

created this year was just so top

9:11

tier I could not believe it's he

9:14

wasn't just one amazing show it was

9:16

multiple amazing Showed. Us on headlined by

9:18

the Return of Six Minutes or so. Yeah,

9:20

so is how many people work. I mean,

9:22

even tangentially to think and Jersey Now I

9:25

mean, I always tell how people I have

9:27

no idea why. Funny Juanita at any given

9:29

time twenty the like. Maybe. Not

9:31

thirty, but it's like. With. Between

9:34

for he a freelancer, freelance writers,

9:36

freelance editors ah to be side

9:38

he answers. Yeah yeah,

9:40

yeah signal. This movie as

9:42

actors and switch on the aim of with Emily

9:44

to me for what we do in this sort

9:47

of nice thing I'd always seems like a lot

9:49

of people you know to do what we do.

9:51

It takes a lotta people via. Takes.

9:54

A village to village? Absolutely.

9:57

Where we started with? Ah well, we really

9:59

start with cheesy. Morning Show. I think that

10:01

was the first thing that came out as

10:03

I think was literally January First Physicists it's

10:05

I love That! So I thought it was

10:07

so funny. And then

10:09

it was it. the return of six minutes. Believe

10:11

so know. Which I mean the

10:13

fans are going crazy. I still don't

10:16

know what's gonna happen. like. I know

10:18

there's no soon. I'm going to know it's

10:20

very soon. I'm going to known about a week

10:22

and I think what's so fun about Six Minutes

10:24

is that the original series is just so good.

10:27

Clearly we have amassed millions of fans and I

10:29

just think this meet set it up even more,

10:31

which is so hard to do with a sequel

10:33

after. Returning for so long. Like

10:36

yelled at. A great job Nightingale I think

10:38

is one of the most searching things that

10:40

can be created. A society

10:42

I think Nightingale. We had a new

10:44

level on a young for me to

10:46

split. Did system yes has to? Beautiful.

10:49

All of all the Jersey. all the things I

10:51

mean to so many things along with the people

10:54

that make Jersey great. But and Nightingale sort of

10:56

seems to be a real pinnacle com and combination

10:58

of it. You. Know. Can't.

11:00

Pronounce One Swim Won awards,

11:02

been nominated for Kids' Choice

11:05

Awards, Services and still. And

11:07

I think we did something really fun with me In and

11:09

Lucy in which we. We. Took out a

11:12

new genre like kind is absurd horror

11:14

comedy. The and nailed it. Absolutely nailed

11:16

it. I've I've thought mean and Lucy

11:18

was played with tone and and style

11:20

in a way that I haven't seen

11:22

as deal and like I just think

11:24

it open doors for us. I think

11:26

it's so I loved it and. They. Were

11:29

getting better at the comedy? or I did. it was

11:31

something. yeah, something in the beginning. We. Shi'd

11:33

away from but with sound hard to do

11:36

and I really should say cards that are

11:38

very funny, yeah, yeah, but I mean like

11:40

straight. And. Them is that's right. I

11:42

mean, this is the fun of working with

11:44

outside writers to visit some one one more

11:46

brings in a difference, sensibility, and different. Way

11:49

of writing and it's It's great because. Only.

11:52

So many ideas that we can have and I wasn't

11:54

necessary. Meaning, the comedy in the writing is. I think

11:56

there's always really great funny things. I mean, I mean

11:58

I wasn't offended, know I have. I also

12:00

have found it's hard to do comedy and

12:02

in the sound design and you know, like

12:05

how do you play a D player? Cartoony?

12:07

D player? Real? Like what's funnier? You know

12:09

any mean? Yep, those are always questions we

12:11

asked ourselves earlier. I saw

12:13

that and then we did a couple part of

12:15

shows. Yes, we did. Yeah, who when?

12:18

Wow! We're working on another season of just

12:20

lots of fun to work with. The Tinker

12:22

Chance folks. the great. Legacy.

12:24

Of Arthur. Yeah. Ah

12:27

how's that was great! That. Serve

12:29

all those means. Point: What a

12:31

year? I see so many are there. Tic

12:33

tacs. They're really funny. Once

12:35

a year. It's. True, it's been

12:37

such it's such a big year and what's

12:40

so funny as it's like sit funny how

12:42

we mark our time in years like it

12:44

feels like for starting a new and in

12:46

like two weeks even though we're really discontinuing

12:48

because we are just work in a necessity

12:51

this meaning like steak you know are on

12:53

these shows like we're currently working on them

12:55

are continuing to work on them so lot

12:57

only so the listeners what we're working. On

12:59

13:01

13:04

13:06

13:08

Much. More Now for.

13:11

This is number nine

13:14

to oh nice guy

13:16

says yes. That is

13:18

crazy. Summer Summer short ones and thoughts on

13:20

pick our butts and even are communicating behind

13:22

the scenes. How bout that? We've pushed her

13:24

for to for a said of the way

13:26

you either show. As he was in recording

13:29

it was waiting for a while show and

13:31

things. Oh. My gosh, Well

13:33

I'm glad you did. She can access

13:35

at the end of that I. Have

13:39

a I have another. Will I have another one

13:41

after? This is better. Alas, I just came

13:43

from my own personal recording session because I

13:45

am a process of we sector and I.

13:48

Finally said in that studio Say the booth

13:50

where your just sounds really good. I'm sure

13:52

it does. It's a beautiful i feel amazing

13:54

assistance. This is not in a closet remnants

13:56

well as area. is this where we lived

13:58

with us when we play. The the

14:01

top secret stuff. I think

14:03

so. I think it's time. Where do

14:05

we start with? I think we should

14:07

start with the show that's coming up

14:09

for. This show is literally coming on

14:12

January first for early access subscribers. Ice

14:14

are super fan and family subscribers. We

14:16

need Taylor's for thin and says. Should

14:18

we set up this clip because it doesn't get

14:20

as you typically we played the opening or closing

14:22

or but this is sort of in the middle

14:24

of an officer which is really fun. Seen debut

14:27

on as a. Yeah. To gives you

14:29

a real sense of what the shows that

14:31

now some you may say I don't know

14:33

about football football's on my saying and this

14:35

is jeezy hims first sports show which is

14:37

real challenge has we weren't sure we do

14:40

a lot of experimentation to figure out how

14:42

are we gonna do sports in audio because

14:44

it's it does of sleeves visual many media

14:46

necessary to have a football game because see

14:48

now person works on the radio but to

14:50

the lot of experimentation but when I want

14:53

to say is that even if you're not

14:55

a football fan there's a lot of stuff

14:57

in here for. You because it's a story

14:59

about father and daughter is about ah when

15:01

he taylor is girl who comes to live

15:04

with her father in Cleveland show lived with

15:06

him in a while but her mom's best

15:08

way and he was retired quarterbacks and he's

15:10

kind of guy. he went out not so

15:13

brief in his career now she's here to

15:15

inspire him to maybe get back in the

15:17

game. Yeah. I have to say

15:19

working on this is I feel like this

15:21

is one of our tests. Oh really,

15:24

That's so it's. Settled. In music wise

15:26

and dislikes. I mean like Dave

15:28

said, just just cracking the code

15:30

of how to do a football

15:32

game. For the other thing

15:34

that's new here is that this might be.

15:37

I think this is probably our first show

15:39

that doesn't have any size fire, fantasy elements,

15:41

some forgetting something. Wow. I think if I

15:43

break it up the most grounded show that

15:45

we've ever done. I think Dave. I think

15:48

that's why I can't get through a scene

15:50

without crying. She says really see a message

15:52

on this and this is one of themselves

15:54

in this scene. jealous

15:57

of the seen this so when he has had

15:59

this idea that she wants to get her dad

16:01

back into the league. So she's gone to see

16:03

the coach of Cleveland

16:05

football team who was Derek's

16:07

college coach and she calls him Uncle Fitz.

16:10

And she secretly got him the chance to

16:12

go back on the field. And now

16:14

this is the first time they're seeing each other after Derek has been

16:16

to practice. And Coach Fitz is

16:18

played by? Coach Fitz is

16:20

played by Tony Todd, who is

16:23

a legendary actor. Yeah. This

16:25

clip is called The 50-yard Line. You

16:28

be one. My dad. Derek

16:30

Taylor. Listen, Winnie, we need to talk about- About

16:33

me going to Coach Fitz. You gonna

16:35

tell me about how wrong it was, how no one asked me

16:37

to climb that fence or try to run from security. You

16:39

climbed a fence? That's right. I

16:41

said it. A very tall, dangerous one. And

16:44

I don't care. I do it a hundred times. Mom

16:47

always said sometimes you needed a push to know

16:49

what was good for you. Well,

16:51

this was me pushing. Are you done?

16:54

Are you done? I'm done. Go

16:57

ahead. Tell me why I was wrong.

17:02

Get in the truck. What? In

17:04

the truck. Are you going to

17:06

drop me in the river? Yes, I'm

17:08

going to drive my truck to the Cuyahoga

17:10

River and dump my daughter in it. Where

17:14

are we going? Tradition

17:16

your mother and I used to have back in college. May

17:24

I take your order please? Yeah, we'll have

17:26

two burgers, two large fries, and

17:29

two large lemonades. You

17:31

should not be eating fast food this close to a game.

17:34

Like I said, it's tradition. Yeah,

17:36

but you're not 20 years old anymore. Thanks

17:39

for the reminder. The grease and fat

17:42

gives me mad strength. In

17:46

that case, I want a milkshake too, for

17:48

women's drinks. And

17:51

two chocolate milkshakes. Drive around

17:53

please. It's

24:01

like, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's the thickest. I love

24:03

it. Okay.

24:05

Well, that's not our only show coming up. That's not

24:07

our only show coming up. What else we got? We've

24:10

got Discovering Dad. Discovering

24:13

Dad. Which I barely know what it's

24:15

about. Yeah. Discovering

24:17

Dad, which came to us from Kara Holden,

24:19

who's the writer of Middle School of the

24:21

Worst Years of My Life, great writer. Oh.

24:24

And this was actually a screenplay that she'd written a

24:27

few years ago, and we turned it into a

24:29

podcast. Wow. And it's

24:31

the story of two kids who have

24:33

a dad that's kind of like, he's

24:35

a little nerdy, he's a middle school

24:37

science teacher, and they think he's uncool,

24:40

he's very overprotective, and it turns out

24:42

that he used to maybe be like

24:44

Indiana Jones. Yeah. He was

24:46

an adventurer, and he's been keeping

24:48

all this secret. A lot of dad stuff, huh?

24:50

A lot of dad stuff. A lot of dad

24:52

stuff just kind of happened in this little chunk,

24:54

yeah. Yeah. And so they kind of hear the

24:57

moment where they discover that he may

24:59

not be everything they think he is. Here

25:01

it is. We've been robbed. Ah.

25:05

Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.

25:09

Ah. Ah. Ah.

25:12

Ah. Ah. Ah.

25:15

Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.

25:19

Ah. Ah. Ah.

25:22

Ah. Ah. Ah. Ah.

25:27

Leave now, and no one

25:29

gets hurt. The

25:31

knife twirling. What are you?

25:33

Some kind of ninja. No, he's a

25:36

middle school fighter. Hey, remember, Justin, those

25:38

are tools. Not to waste

25:40

it. The knife twirling.

25:43

Knives like that. Get out

25:46

of my house.

25:49

Ah. Ah. Ah.

25:53

Ah. Ah. Who

25:55

are you? Yeah.

26:01

Like, what? I

26:04

think, I mean, how y'all do action with an

26:06

audio drama and you can see everything.

26:09

It's crazy. There's some fun sessions of, I

26:11

was just going to say, some fun directing

26:13

sessions where we're like, okay, now

26:15

he takes a swing at your head. Now he's hitting you with

26:17

a frying pan. Now there's a knife. Wow. He

26:20

has a lot of that. Yeah. It's, I

26:22

mean, it sounds so exciting. And the cast is

26:24

really stacked too. I'm very excited about

26:26

the cast. It's a fun cast. Christopher

26:28

Seiber. Yes. Yes. Broadway

26:31

star, Tony nominated, I believe. Adam

26:34

Godley. Also Tony nominated. Also

26:37

Tony nominated and star of Succession. Also

26:40

Alexa Neeson-son plays Jess and she's one

26:42

of the stars of Fear of the

26:44

Walking Dead. Oh, wow. Really

26:47

cool. I have the theme to this one too. Oh, you

26:49

do? Go for it. Here it is. This

26:52

is written by my new art, one of our

26:54

new Gen Z composers, Daniel Nissenbaum.

26:56

Interestingly, I met Daniel through

26:58

a friend of mine that I cycle

27:00

with a lot. I said, I have this neighbor. I have

27:02

this neighbor who's like an amazing writer. And so we got,

27:04

we went out for coffee. And

27:08

yeah, and here's the theme. Thank

27:59

you. Oh

28:11

my gosh, are you kidding me? It's fun,

28:13

right? That's so cool. That's my

28:15

new ringtone, the whole thing. The entirety of it.

28:17

Yeah, it's very, very fun. Wow.

28:20

Yeah. That is so cool.

28:23

So we'll be getting a lot of questions

28:25

about season three of Becoming Mother Nature. Now,

28:27

I don't know if we've ever announced that

28:29

it is about...drumroll? Father Time. Father Time. Father

28:33

Time. Yeah, we teased it at the very

28:35

end of Keeping the Reaper. Yeah, we did

28:37

because... Oh, okay, we did. Yeah, because Max,

28:39

who was our special guest the other day

28:41

on Rewind, he knew. Oh, he did

28:43

know. He did know. So Father Time,

28:46

tell us more about him. We're

28:48

getting there. Her.

28:50

Her, exactly. She. Yeah.

28:53

Yes. Father Time.

28:55

That's a girl who lives in New York, and it's fun. We're

28:57

getting near the end of the scripts, and it's a really fun

28:59

story. We're in New York. We're all over

29:01

the place. We're going to meet some historical figures. We're

29:04

going to end up in ancient China. So it's another

29:06

timey-wimey. It is timey-wimey for

29:08

sure. It is Father Time. It's Father

29:10

Time. It's Father Timey-wimey. Father Timey-wimey. Are

29:12

we going to have our other favorites of

29:15

the universe, of the nature-verse? We

29:18

will definitely hear some of our favorites return,

29:20

yes. That's very exciting. I

29:22

love this universe, and I'm so excited for more of it.

29:25

I really think it's like our little

29:27

marvel. You know what I mean? It is. It

29:30

really is. It's our baby marvel. Yeah.

29:33

It's so sick. I'm so

29:35

excited. And speaking of

29:37

Isabelle Denison, people are

29:40

very excited about the

29:42

Casey books from Aaron,

29:44

who is a supercast

29:46

subscription. When will the

29:48

release date be for the six-minute books about Casey?

29:51

We do not have an official release date

29:53

yet, although the book is just about done.

29:56

However, we have something very exciting to share.

29:58

What could it be? Oh,

30:01

I can't wait. This is a chapter

30:03

from the book read by none other

30:05

than Jess Fisher. What? Yes.

30:08

Holy cow. Jess is like a better...

30:10

Well, we did it with an AI, but no. Yeah,

30:12

Jess is like a better go finder. Hang on. Go

30:15

get your reading glasses. Get your reading glasses. Put

30:17

them on. Oh, they're on. Okay, good. And

30:20

we now give you Jess Fisher. Six

30:23

minutes before. One. I

30:25

always hated the music they played in the elevator. And

30:28

not just because it was sappy and generic,

30:31

but because it was so creepy.

30:34

I wasn't sure why it made my skin crawl.

30:37

I just knew that every time I

30:39

stepped inside one of these metal boxes,

30:41

I got this crazy sense of impending

30:43

doom, especially today. 147

30:47

CD report to level 45 immediately

30:49

for performance evaluation, the voice had

30:51

said. Performance

30:54

evaluation. I knew what that meant.

30:57

Everything to see if I'd start developing

30:59

abilities, powers. Was

31:02

I finally showing signs of being different?

31:05

Special. Like the other trainees on

31:07

the floor who had recently celebrated their so-called

31:09

birthdays. Or was I doomed

31:11

to be the normiest of all normies

31:13

until... Well I

31:15

wasn't sure what Whittier Corp did to kids

31:17

who couldn't perform. What

31:20

if this was it? I didn't

31:22

know how old I was, but I knew I'd recently

31:24

hit a growth spurt. What if

31:26

this was my last chance to show that I was super

31:29

strong? Or super stretchy? Or

31:32

I don't know, at least not just super

31:34

nearsighted. I took off my glasses

31:36

and wiped them against my uniform as the elevator reached

31:38

level 45 and then stopped with

31:41

a loud bang and a shudder. What

31:43

was that? Another bang. Another

31:46

shudder. And then the car

31:48

began to freefall. No! No

31:50

no no! I screamed, frantically pressing

31:52

the buttons. My stomach lurched as

31:55

the numbers rocketed down. 31.

32:00

I squeezed my eyes closed and thought

32:02

of all the things I'd never get to do.

32:04

Never get to see the world outside of winter

32:06

corp or fly on a plane or go to

32:08

a movie theater or taste chocolate. Never

32:11

learn if I had real parents or a

32:13

family or how I ended up in this

32:15

metal death trap on my way to becoming

32:17

human hamburger. The numbers were skipping floors now

32:19

as we picked up speed. Twenty-five.

32:21

Twenty-two. Nineteen. Fourteen.

32:23

I braced for

32:25

impact and suddenly felt a ball of

32:27

energy ignite in my chest. The

32:30

energy expanded, shooting down my arms like

32:32

bolts of hot lightning. What's

32:34

happening? I opened my

32:36

eyes and lurched into the control panel. Ten.

32:40

Six. Two. All.

32:43

Plummeting past the lobby and down into the basement

32:45

world where I lived and trained. I

32:47

screamed as an electric charge burst from my hands

32:49

and into the elevator wall. Sparks

32:51

rained down from the overhead lights like

32:54

fireworks. And then the cab

32:56

screeched and slammed to an abrupt stop, knocking

32:58

me to the floor. I gasped

33:00

for breath, feeling my face and body

33:03

to make sure everything was still there. I'm...

33:06

alone? I'm alive!

33:09

The elevator door slid open and

33:11

I tumbled forward onto solid ground, crawling

33:13

right into a pair of heavy black

33:15

combat boots. 147CD,

33:17

said the bearded face smiling down at me.

33:21

Happy birthday. That was

33:23

the moment that Casey develops her powers for the

33:25

first time. Pretty cool. Makes

33:27

me want to know who the person with

33:29

the boots is, like what that character is.

33:32

I can't wait to meet more characters. There's

33:34

a prologue and there's a really interesting character in there that I'm

33:37

very interested in as well. Like it's

33:39

going to be a whole new cast

33:41

of characters, but it's in the world. Yeah? Yeah.

33:43

I like how you said the not epilogue. You were about

33:45

to say that. The not epilogue. The

33:48

pre-epilogue. But

33:50

yeah, it's coming. We're trucking

33:52

on it. We're making it happen. And

33:55

yeah. And speaking of the universe of

33:57

Six Minutes, snoot

33:59

is ending. Yes, is

34:01

that the end of all of our happiness? No,

34:05

it's not just okay. I'm a

34:07

season four of six minutes is

34:09

coming. Yes So

34:11

what is it about? Well, I can't

34:13

really give that away because you haven't heard 69

34:16

and 70 of oh, that's true of this season of

34:18

smooth I think we can talk a little more about

34:20

it when you've heard it when you've heard the finale

34:22

Hey, we don't want to give anything away. Okay. Yeah,

34:25

we talk more about it. Yeah more

34:28

cliffhangers More excitement more of

34:30

your favorites more new characters as well are

34:32

coming. Yeah more questions so exciting And

34:35

then what are we rewinding next? Well,

34:37

the next thing that we're rewinding is

34:41

Oh, you mean talking about I'm thinking only from data. You

34:43

know how crazy it is. Yes. I'm thinking day to day

34:45

The next thing we're rewinding is the finale But

34:48

after that what's the next show where you are

34:51

we're gonna rewind fourth and inches Yeah,

34:53

we're gonna be doing it as it comes out. That'd be

34:55

fun We're gonna have to bring a lot

34:57

of issues I know seriously,

35:00

I should record myself just like crying at

35:02

my desk every week And

35:04

then after that our current plan is to

35:06

rewind becoming Mother Nature and then I believe

35:08

Cupid and then we're gonna figure it out

35:10

From there what we're gonna do. Hopefully by

35:12

then we'll be back six minutes. We'll be back six

35:14

minutes Yes, and then we can be doing you know

35:17

the smoot or if it's called something else rewind

35:20

in order And yeah

35:22

We've got some major fans One

35:25

of those shows is your favorite show be sure

35:27

to write into Jess and yes. Yes We're looking

35:29

for fans for becoming Mother Nature rewind Asap

35:32

if you want to be a fan on a

35:34

brand new show like fourth and inches so you're

35:36

hearing it, you know Yeah, right for the first

35:38

time that'd be kind of fun, right?

35:41

I think so. We'll call it be like Jess Be

35:44

like Jess be like me. I love it So

35:47

I really like this question from Becky

35:49

Becky sent us two questions Any

35:52

plans for more takes on classic literature or

35:54

stories Treasure Island Sleepy Hollow Meena Lucy are

35:57

all fantastic And I want more I would

35:59

love a GZ and the birth of a Christmas Carol, seconded.

36:02

But I could see a great story of Rip

36:04

Van Linkle, Donkey Hotel, or Little Princess, seconded, seconded,

36:06

seconded, all modernized, of course, with the element of

36:09

time travel. Hints of what's to come? Thanks.

36:12

This is going to be so, such useless

36:14

information, and Dave hasn't even heard about this.

36:17

I can't even tell you of the one that I've been

36:19

thinking about for the last three months. And

36:21

I haven't brought it up to Dave yet. Can

36:24

you bring it up on Friday at the

36:26

dinner? Yeah, I'll think about it. I'll take two

36:29

under the covers. Anyway, we... It's

36:31

just undercover, meaning it's in my brain, and

36:33

I either A, have forgot to tell Dave

36:35

whenever we're hanging out, or B...

36:37

The Dante's Inferno? Or B, think like...

36:40

It's not like that, but it's not one you would

36:42

commonly ask. Well,

36:45

in answer to Becky's question as well, we do have

36:48

one in development that we can't talk about yet. We

36:50

can't talk about it. Yeah, we have stuff that we can't

36:52

talk about. Isn't that very exciting? Yeah, we

36:55

have several other shows. This whole

36:57

section is full of absolutely zero

36:59

information. I love it. And

37:01

listen, I've been talking a

37:03

bit about Time Phone, and

37:05

I'm still working for you

37:07

guys. I'm putting in the

37:09

hours, I'm putting in the work. We actually just got a

37:12

pilot from a super fan. That Time

37:14

Phone is hosted by Dr. Birkhead's

37:16

son, who steals some technology

37:18

from super fan Mason.

37:21

Genius idea. I loved it.

37:23

My favorite part was him saying that he

37:25

had talked about Time Phone at the production

37:27

meeting. It was just him and his

37:29

stuffed animal. That was

37:32

good. That's

37:35

what it feels like staring at boxes on

37:37

a screen. I think I needed you. I

37:40

think what might help kick all this Time

37:42

Phone stuff off is maybe for when we

37:44

start rewinding some stuff in the future

37:46

here, I'm going to come up with a

37:48

Time Phone intro, like maybe a theme song.

37:50

And play it during our rewind. Just for

37:52

a little inspiration. If

37:56

We just keep adding one little element all the

37:58

time. we'll eventually have a show. The show

38:00

girl be like they got hey guys i me I did the

38:02

opening scene to be of times on and is like where you
