1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:05,280
Speaker 1: Hey, everybody, how's it going about. First, Sorry, this is

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,720
not a video with stories in it, but I need

3
00:00:08,759 --> 00:00:12,759
to make this announcement and I hope it benefits a

4
00:00:12,759 --> 00:00:16,719
few people. But about a month ago, I put out

5
00:00:16,719 --> 00:00:23,800
a video telling you about a big TV show that

6
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:27,199
is being produced at the moment. It's being cast at

7
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:33,679
the moment for a major television network. They're coming to

8
00:00:33,719 --> 00:00:38,679
the end of the casting. Twenty or thirty people have

9
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,960
submitted videos to me. I passed them on to the

10
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,320
casting directors and the producers, and I think all of

11
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:48,799
those people got a callback. I don't know if they've

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,920
been cast, but they got a callback. So they're kind

13
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,799
of narrowing down the types of stories they're looking for.

14
00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:00,439
Of course from me and other people are I'm not

15
00:01:00,479 --> 00:01:06,920
the only one sending recommendations for casting, but they're looking

16
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,200
for special niches. But before I tell you what that is,

17
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,400
as we get down to the end of the casting process,

18
00:01:14,719 --> 00:01:17,400
there's still about two weeks left that you could submit.

19
00:01:18,719 --> 00:01:21,319
They've told me that you can write. You don't have

20
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,840
to do a video, you don't have to do an

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,680
audio file. You can just write it, but make it brief,

22
00:01:29,719 --> 00:01:33,680
make it and email it to me, and I will

23
00:01:33,719 --> 00:01:37,000
forward it onto the production company. They'll took a look.

24
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,280
They'll take a look at it, and they're interested. They'll

25
00:01:39,439 --> 00:01:42,239
give you a callback or they'll email you. They'll have

26
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,319
your email address and all put your phone number in

27
00:01:45,359 --> 00:01:47,519
there and also that they'll have that if you want

28
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,239
them to call you. But there's still about two weeks

29
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:55,760
left to do this casting thing, to audition for this show.

30
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,599
And if you've had a crazy experience, I think they'll

31
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,799
talk to you. I don't know if they'll cast you,

32
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,079
but I think you'll get a callback and they'll talk

33
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,639
to you. So let me read you what they're kind

34
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:14,800
of narrowing down. This is not exclusive. If yours is

35
00:02:15,199 --> 00:02:22,000
something else that I don't list here, then go ahead

36
00:02:22,039 --> 00:02:24,560
and send it in too, because they may find it interesting.

37
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,680
But these are some of the suggestions and the directions

38
00:02:27,759 --> 00:02:34,039
they're looking to go. We're really interested in finding some

39
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,400
stories with unique crypt it. Some that come some that

40
00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:40,879
come to mine are the glimmer Man, the Slender Man,

41
00:02:41,759 --> 00:02:44,599
the Man of Talk, Long Island Beast, the hell Hound,

42
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:47,439
the Frogmen, etc. Do you have any of these stories

43
00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:50,759
in mind? I don't because I don't even know what

44
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,840
those are. I don't know what those things are, but

45
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,879
the Mothman that she didn't write this, but the Mothman

46
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,120
comes to mind. I would say demonic type stories might

47
00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:05,759
be interesting to them. She goes on to say they've

48
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,840
also divided up our stories into four categories, and some

49
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,199
are looking for a few more of her stories to

50
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:16,919
fill the episode. One being home invasions, where a cryptid

51
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:21,280
has entered your home. Second one is trapped, if you've

52
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:26,520
been trapped in your home an RV. She gives an example.

53
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,759
She has one where a couple is trapped in their

54
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:31,680
RV while a skunk ape tries to claw its way in,

55
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,840
or there's a bigfoot roaming around outside and you're terrified

56
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:42,240
to go out. They're looking for stories about bigfoot in

57
00:03:42,319 --> 00:03:47,560
British Columbia specifically. So that's just a few ideas, but

58
00:03:47,759 --> 00:03:51,919
don't let that limit you to your story. Go ahead

59
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:56,599
and go ahead and send it. I should have put

60
00:03:56,639 --> 00:03:59,800
this out a month ago, but I've been so daggonb

61
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,840
busy i haven't had time to make this video. I'm

62
00:04:02,879 --> 00:04:06,520
still kind of busy, but not quite as busy as before,

63
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:11,680
which leads me to this topic. We're on the fringe

64
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,240
right on the front end of probably the best building

65
00:04:15,319 --> 00:04:19,199
economy that I will have seen in my life. And

66
00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:22,160
it's the kind of economy guys like me dream of

67
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:28,160
because there's tons of work, the money's always good, and

68
00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:31,079
like an idiot, I'm backing away from it to do

69
00:04:31,199 --> 00:04:39,199
this podcast and write I've probably lost my mind doing this,

70
00:04:39,399 --> 00:04:42,519
but I'm going to try it and see. Hopefully, if

71
00:04:42,519 --> 00:04:46,399
this doesn't work out, the building economy will still be

72
00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:48,800
rolling a year from now, six months from now, and

73
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:51,639
I can jump back in it and make a living

74
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:55,439
like I've always done it. But I want to write books.

75
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,240
I want to finish. Nobody's encouraging me to do this,

76
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,560
That's fine. I just it's just an itch. For six years,

77
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:07,839
I've been doing this podcast and I didn't know I

78
00:05:07,879 --> 00:05:11,399
would love it so much until after I had done

79
00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:13,240
it about a year and I thought, good grief, I

80
00:05:13,319 --> 00:05:17,759
love doing this. This is so fun, and to me,

81
00:05:18,319 --> 00:05:21,560
it's just a great feeling to sit down at the desk,

82
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,759
look at the screen and just read you a good

83
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:28,519
story and then go through the editing process and all

84
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:33,279
that stuff. It's a it's just a I don't know.

85
00:05:33,360 --> 00:05:35,279
I just have a blast doing it. But since i've

86
00:05:35,319 --> 00:05:39,600
been doing this podcast, You've only gotten about ten percent

87
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:47,160
of my time, and the other ninety percent is spent

88
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,160
on my business. I do this stuff early in the

89
00:05:49,199 --> 00:05:52,439
morning or late at night, or right after I wind

90
00:05:52,519 --> 00:05:54,439
up with a job. There's sometimes there's a two of

91
00:05:54,519 --> 00:05:58,319
three day lag where I can spend time on the podcast.

92
00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:00,959
And I've always done it for fun, but I'm going

93
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,279
to try it as a business. And so you're going

94
00:06:04,319 --> 00:06:06,720
to see a lot more podcasts. You're going to see

95
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,079
everybody's asking about Steve Lily. You just haven't had time

96
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,480
to write. But I'm going to have time. I want

97
00:06:14,519 --> 00:06:18,879
to finish my I said. Nobody's encouraging me except my wife.

98
00:06:18,879 --> 00:06:21,399
She's like, you've got to get that Steve Lilly novel

99
00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:24,279
written and get it out there. People are gonna love it.

100
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,600
It's a great story. And uh, I've got like a

101
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:34,560
three volume maybe four volume novel series I want to

102
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,800
write on him. I have other ideas for other non

103
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:43,639
monster stories. I won't be one of these literary writers

104
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,600
who spends two years on a book. I'll write these

105
00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:50,879
pretty fast. And so I've got to get editing figured out.

106
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,720
I've got to get publishing figured out. I have a

107
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,680
lot of work to do to launch this. But in

108
00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,519
the meantime, I'm going to be doing this podcast because

109
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:03,600
you two and my podcast hosts. That generates a little

110
00:07:03,639 --> 00:07:06,839
bit of income for me. So I've got to do that.

111
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,959
I want to do that. It's not that I have to,

112
00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:13,360
it's part of the joy of doing this whole thing.

113
00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:17,279
But that's gonna have to sustain me, keep my bills

114
00:07:17,319 --> 00:07:21,920
paid until I get these the first book published, and

115
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,519
just to see how it's going to go. So I

116
00:07:25,519 --> 00:07:28,240
don't know why I'm telling you this other than you're

117
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,519
gonna see a lot more podcasts from Dixie and Steve. Lilly.

118
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:35,439
Got about two weeks of cleaning up jobs that I've

119
00:07:35,439 --> 00:07:38,920
been working on the last six three to six months.

120
00:07:39,439 --> 00:07:43,519
But once I get those done, by yaw, I'm off

121
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,000
to the races and walking away from all this beautiful

122
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:53,319
work like a freaking idiot. And I'm trying to I

123
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:58,639
want to get the quality of the podcast better. I

124
00:07:58,639 --> 00:08:00,279
think it's pretty good now, but I want to do

125
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,600
better with visuals and maybe some AI visuals. No AI

126
00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:10,839
voices unless it's something funny or whatever. I've got all

127
00:08:10,959 --> 00:08:14,879
kinds of ideas of different things to do and that

128
00:08:14,959 --> 00:08:18,360
keeps it interesting for me. So anyway, I just want

129
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:21,839
to let you know that, back to the auditions, if

130
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:26,319
you didn't feel like you could do a video, or

131
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,519
you can do an audio. You can send me an

132
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,839
audio file, email it to me, or you can just

133
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,480
write it one or two paragraphs just to give them

134
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,559
the outline of what your experience was. All forward it

135
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:44,480
on to the producers. They'll look at it. If they're interested,

136
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:47,399
they'll get in touch with you. It's I think twenty

137
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,799
or thirty people have sent videos, and I think all

138
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:53,480
of them got a callback. I may have already said this,

139
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,360
but I don't know if they got cast or not.

140
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,559
But they did get a callback, at least the ten

141
00:08:59,799 --> 00:09:04,399
or so people i've heard from, So I think you've

142
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,799
got a good chance to get a second look. I

143
00:09:07,799 --> 00:09:10,120
don't think you're going to get rich for being cast

144
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,120
on this show, but it might be a really fun experience.

145
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,879
You'll get to travel out to the Pacific Northwest and

146
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,000
probably get camped, a meal and a plane ticket. And

147
00:09:22,399 --> 00:09:24,399
I don't know, if I had an experience, I would

148
00:09:24,399 --> 00:09:26,080
do it because I'd love God there. And so I've

149
00:09:26,159 --> 00:09:29,600
never been out to the Pacific Northwest, but it might

150
00:09:29,639 --> 00:09:33,879
be a good experience for you. So send me that

151
00:09:33,960 --> 00:09:37,000
audio file, send me a video file, or send me

152
00:09:37,039 --> 00:09:40,720
a written account. This is new. We asked for videos first.

153
00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:44,000
Now they're taking Renten accounts. But you've only got about

154
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,279
two weeks left to get those in and then they're

155
00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:50,720
going to close down the casting window and they will

156
00:09:51,159 --> 00:09:54,320
probably have everything cast out for the first season or two.

157
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,840
That's right. That's right. So I'll let y' all know

158
00:09:58,919 --> 00:10:03,360
that it's pretty outside. Look at all that grain behind me.

159
00:10:03,399 --> 00:10:06,240
Look at my grass, it's a foot tall. Won't quit raining.

160
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:10,840
It's been raining for six days. It'll dry up. I'll

161
00:10:10,879 --> 00:10:13,000
be on a deadline. I can't get on my lawnmower

162
00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:17,279
and cut grass. And then once I finish my deadline,

163
00:10:17,279 --> 00:10:20,159
it starts raining. I still can't cut. I got a

164
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,679
big old lawnmower, so it'll cut this grass. I kind

165
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,879
of like cutting it when it's deep sometimes then I
