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
five is gonna be the five
51:41
adventures all learning how
51:43
to become one Bokey.
51:47
Just forming
51:48
a bone neck.
51:53
the bone power rangers. I've
51:56
got a rangers, if you will. Like a
51:58
freaking bow. No. I
51:59
said that. Just
52:03
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
know. Bye
58:36

58:39

58:41
water.
58:46
What side? Tetrauss. Hi,
58:48
Dray, Tetrauss. Do
58:50
you, boop.
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
