00:00:01.320 --> 00:00:05.280
<v Speaker 1>Hey, everybody, how's it going about. First, Sorry, this is

2
00:00:05.320 --> 00:00:08.720
<v Speaker 1>not a video with stories in it, but I need

3
00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:12.759
<v Speaker 1>to make this announcement and I hope it benefits a

4
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:16.719
<v Speaker 1>few people. But about a month ago, I put out

5
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>a video telling you about a big TV show that

6
00:00:23.960 --> 00:00:27.199
<v Speaker 1>is being produced at the moment. It's being cast at

7
00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:33.679
<v Speaker 1>the moment for a major television network. They're coming to

8
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:38.679
<v Speaker 1>the end of the casting. Twenty or thirty people have

9
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>submitted videos to me. I passed them on to the

10
00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.320
<v Speaker 1>casting directors and the producers, and I think all of

11
00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:48.799
<v Speaker 1>those people got a callback. I don't know if they've

12
00:00:48.840 --> 00:00:52.920
<v Speaker 1>been cast, but they got a callback. So they're kind

13
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:56.799
<v Speaker 1>of narrowing down the types of stories they're looking for.

14
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Of course from me and other people are I'm not

15
00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the only one sending recommendations for casting, but they're looking

16
00:01:07.000 --> 00:01:10.200
<v Speaker 1>for special niches. But before I tell you what that is,

17
00:01:11.680 --> 00:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>as we get down to the end of the casting process,

18
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:17.400
<v Speaker 1>there's still about two weeks left that you could submit.

19
00:01:18.719 --> 00:01:21.319
<v Speaker 1>They've told me that you can write. You don't have

20
00:01:21.400 --> 00:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>to do a video, you don't have to do an

21
00:01:23.840 --> 00:01:28.680
<v Speaker 1>audio file. You can just write it, but make it brief,

22
00:01:29.719 --> 00:01:33.680
<v Speaker 1>make it and email it to me, and I will

23
00:01:33.719 --> 00:01:37.000
<v Speaker 1>forward it onto the production company. They'll took a look.

24
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.280
<v Speaker 1>They'll take a look at it, and they're interested. They'll

25
00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:42.239
<v Speaker 1>give you a callback or they'll email you. They'll have

26
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>your email address and all put your phone number in

27
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.519
<v Speaker 1>there and also that they'll have that if you want

28
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.239
<v Speaker 1>them to call you. But there's still about two weeks

29
00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>left to do this casting thing, to audition for this show.

30
00:01:56.400 --> 00:02:00.599
<v Speaker 1>And if you've had a crazy experience, I think they'll

31
00:02:00.640 --> 00:02:02.799
<v Speaker 1>talk to you. I don't know if they'll cast you,

32
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.079
<v Speaker 1>but I think you'll get a callback and they'll talk

33
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:08.639
<v Speaker 1>to you. So let me read you what they're kind

34
00:02:08.680 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>of narrowing down. This is not exclusive. If yours is

35
00:02:15.199 --> 00:02:22.000
<v Speaker 1>something else that I don't list here, then go ahead

36
00:02:22.039 --> 00:02:24.560
<v Speaker 1>and send it in too, because they may find it interesting.

37
00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>But these are some of the suggestions and the directions

38
00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:34.039
<v Speaker 1>they're looking to go. We're really interested in finding some

39
00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>stories with unique crypt it. Some that come some that

40
00:02:37.479 --> 00:02:40.879
<v Speaker 1>come to mine are the glimmer Man, the Slender Man,

41
00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:44.599
<v Speaker 1>the Man of Talk, Long Island Beast, the hell Hound,

42
00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.439
<v Speaker 1>the Frogmen, etc. Do you have any of these stories

43
00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.759
<v Speaker 1>in mind? I don't because I don't even know what

44
00:02:50.800 --> 00:02:53.840
<v Speaker 1>those are. I don't know what those things are, but

45
00:02:54.080 --> 00:02:56.879
<v Speaker 1>the Mothman that she didn't write this, but the Mothman

46
00:02:57.000 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>comes to mind. I would say demonic type stories might

47
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:05.759
<v Speaker 1>be interesting to them. She goes on to say they've

48
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.840
<v Speaker 1>also divided up our stories into four categories, and some

49
00:03:08.960 --> 00:03:12.199
<v Speaker 1>are looking for a few more of her stories to

50
00:03:12.280 --> 00:03:16.919
<v Speaker 1>fill the episode. One being home invasions, where a cryptid

51
00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>has entered your home. Second one is trapped, if you've

52
00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:26.520
<v Speaker 1>been trapped in your home an RV. She gives an example.

53
00:03:26.680 --> 00:03:28.759
<v Speaker 1>She has one where a couple is trapped in their

54
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.680
<v Speaker 1>RV while a skunk ape tries to claw its way in,

55
00:03:32.919 --> 00:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>or there's a bigfoot roaming around outside and you're terrified

56
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to go out. They're looking for stories about bigfoot in

57
00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:47.560
<v Speaker 1>British Columbia specifically. So that's just a few ideas, but

58
00:03:47.759 --> 00:03:51.919
<v Speaker 1>don't let that limit you to your story. Go ahead

59
00:03:51.960 --> 00:03:56.599
<v Speaker 1>and go ahead and send it. I should have put

60
00:03:56.639 --> 00:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>this out a month ago, but I've been so daggonb

61
00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>busy i haven't had time to make this video. I'm

62
00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:06.520
<v Speaker 1>still kind of busy, but not quite as busy as before,

63
00:04:06.560 --> 00:04:11.680
<v Speaker 1>which leads me to this topic. We're on the fringe

64
00:04:11.840 --> 00:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>right on the front end of probably the best building

65
00:04:15.319 --> 00:04:19.199
<v Speaker 1>economy that I will have seen in my life. And

66
00:04:19.439 --> 00:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>it's the kind of economy guys like me dream of

67
00:04:22.279 --> 00:04:28.160
<v Speaker 1>because there's tons of work, the money's always good, and

68
00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 1>like an idiot, I'm backing away from it to do

69
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:39.199
<v Speaker 1>this podcast and write I've probably lost my mind doing this,

70
00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.519
<v Speaker 1>but I'm going to try it and see. Hopefully, if

71
00:04:42.519 --> 00:04:46.399
<v Speaker 1>this doesn't work out, the building economy will still be

72
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:48.800
<v Speaker 1>rolling a year from now, six months from now, and

73
00:04:48.839 --> 00:04:51.639
<v Speaker 1>I can jump back in it and make a living

74
00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:55.439
<v Speaker 1>like I've always done it. But I want to write books.

75
00:04:55.480 --> 00:04:58.240
<v Speaker 1>I want to finish. Nobody's encouraging me to do this,

76
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>That's fine. I just it's just an itch. For six years,

77
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:07.839
<v Speaker 1>I've been doing this podcast and I didn't know I

78
00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.399
<v Speaker 1>would love it so much until after I had done

79
00:05:11.439 --> 00:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>it about a year and I thought, good grief, I

80
00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:17.759
<v Speaker 1>love doing this. This is so fun, and to me,

81
00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:21.560
<v Speaker 1>it's just a great feeling to sit down at the desk,

82
00:05:21.600 --> 00:05:23.759
<v Speaker 1>look at the screen and just read you a good

83
00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:28.519
<v Speaker 1>story and then go through the editing process and all

84
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:33.279
<v Speaker 1>that stuff. It's a it's just a I don't know.

85
00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:35.279
<v Speaker 1>I just have a blast doing it. But since i've

86
00:05:35.319 --> 00:05:39.600
<v Speaker 1>been doing this podcast, You've only gotten about ten percent

87
00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>of my time, and the other ninety percent is spent

88
00:05:47.240 --> 00:05:49.160
<v Speaker 1>on my business. I do this stuff early in the

89
00:05:49.199 --> 00:05:52.439
<v Speaker 1>morning or late at night, or right after I wind

90
00:05:52.519 --> 00:05:54.439
<v Speaker 1>up with a job. There's sometimes there's a two of

91
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.319
<v Speaker 1>three day lag where I can spend time on the podcast.

92
00:05:59.199 --> 00:06:00.959
<v Speaker 1>And I've always done it for fun, but I'm going

93
00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.279
<v Speaker 1>to try it as a business. And so you're going

94
00:06:04.319 --> 00:06:06.720
<v Speaker 1>to see a lot more podcasts. You're going to see

95
00:06:08.120 --> 00:06:11.079
<v Speaker 1>everybody's asking about Steve Lily. You just haven't had time

96
00:06:11.120 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 1>to write. But I'm going to have time. I want

97
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:18.879
<v Speaker 1>to finish my I said. Nobody's encouraging me except my wife.

98
00:06:18.879 --> 00:06:21.399
<v Speaker 1>She's like, you've got to get that Steve Lilly novel

99
00:06:21.439 --> 00:06:24.279
<v Speaker 1>written and get it out there. People are gonna love it.

100
00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:27.600
<v Speaker 1>It's a great story. And uh, I've got like a

101
00:06:27.680 --> 00:06:34.560
<v Speaker 1>three volume maybe four volume novel series I want to

102
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.800
<v Speaker 1>write on him. I have other ideas for other non

103
00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:43.639
<v Speaker 1>monster stories. I won't be one of these literary writers

104
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.600
<v Speaker 1>who spends two years on a book. I'll write these

105
00:06:46.639 --> 00:06:50.879
<v Speaker 1>pretty fast. And so I've got to get editing figured out.

106
00:06:50.920 --> 00:06:53.720
<v Speaker 1>I've got to get publishing figured out. I have a

107
00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:56.680
<v Speaker 1>lot of work to do to launch this. But in

108
00:06:56.720 --> 00:06:59.519
<v Speaker 1>the meantime, I'm going to be doing this podcast because

109
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:03.600
<v Speaker 1>you two and my podcast hosts. That generates a little

110
00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.839
<v Speaker 1>bit of income for me. So I've got to do that.

111
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:10.959
<v Speaker 1>I want to do that. It's not that I have to,

112
00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:13.360
<v Speaker 1>it's part of the joy of doing this whole thing.

113
00:07:14.079 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 1>But that's gonna have to sustain me, keep my bills

114
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:21.920
<v Speaker 1>paid until I get these the first book published, and

115
00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:25.519
<v Speaker 1>just to see how it's going to go. So I

116
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.240
<v Speaker 1>don't know why I'm telling you this other than you're

117
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:31.519
<v Speaker 1>gonna see a lot more podcasts from Dixie and Steve. Lilly.

118
00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:35.439
<v Speaker 1>Got about two weeks of cleaning up jobs that I've

119
00:07:35.439 --> 00:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>been working on the last six three to six months.

120
00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:43.519
<v Speaker 1>But once I get those done, by yaw, I'm off

121
00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>to the races and walking away from all this beautiful

122
00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:53.319
<v Speaker 1>work like a freaking idiot. And I'm trying to I

123
00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:58.639
<v Speaker 1>want to get the quality of the podcast better. I

124
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:00.279
<v Speaker 1>think it's pretty good now, but I want to do

125
00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:03.600
<v Speaker 1>better with visuals and maybe some AI visuals. No AI

126
00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:10.839
<v Speaker 1>voices unless it's something funny or whatever. I've got all

127
00:08:10.959 --> 00:08:14.879
<v Speaker 1>kinds of ideas of different things to do and that

128
00:08:14.959 --> 00:08:18.360
<v Speaker 1>keeps it interesting for me. So anyway, I just want

129
00:08:18.439 --> 00:08:21.839
<v Speaker 1>to let you know that, back to the auditions, if

130
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:26.319
<v Speaker 1>you didn't feel like you could do a video, or

131
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.519
<v Speaker 1>you can do an audio. You can send me an

132
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.839
<v Speaker 1>audio file, email it to me, or you can just

133
00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.480
<v Speaker 1>write it one or two paragraphs just to give them

134
00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:39.559
<v Speaker 1>the outline of what your experience was. All forward it

135
00:08:39.600 --> 00:08:44.480
<v Speaker 1>on to the producers. They'll look at it. If they're interested,

136
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:47.399
<v Speaker 1>they'll get in touch with you. It's I think twenty

137
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.799
<v Speaker 1>or thirty people have sent videos, and I think all

138
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:53.480
<v Speaker 1>of them got a callback. I may have already said this,

139
00:08:53.600 --> 00:08:55.360
<v Speaker 1>but I don't know if they got cast or not.

140
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:59.559
<v Speaker 1>But they did get a callback, at least the ten

141
00:08:59.799 --> 00:09:04.399
<v Speaker 1>or so people i've heard from, So I think you've

142
00:09:04.440 --> 00:09:07.799
<v Speaker 1>got a good chance to get a second look. I

143
00:09:07.799 --> 00:09:10.120
<v Speaker 1>don't think you're going to get rich for being cast

144
00:09:10.240 --> 00:09:13.120
<v Speaker 1>on this show, but it might be a really fun experience.

145
00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:16.879
<v Speaker 1>You'll get to travel out to the Pacific Northwest and

146
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:21.000
<v Speaker 1>probably get camped, a meal and a plane ticket. And

147
00:09:22.399 --> 00:09:24.399
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, if I had an experience, I would

148
00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:26.080
<v Speaker 1>do it because I'd love God there. And so I've

149
00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:29.600
<v Speaker 1>never been out to the Pacific Northwest, but it might

150
00:09:29.639 --> 00:09:33.879
<v Speaker 1>be a good experience for you. So send me that

151
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.000
<v Speaker 1>audio file, send me a video file, or send me

152
00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>a written account. This is new. We asked for videos first.

153
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:44.000
<v Speaker 1>Now they're taking Renten accounts. But you've only got about

154
00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:47.279
<v Speaker 1>two weeks left to get those in and then they're

155
00:09:47.279 --> 00:09:50.720
<v Speaker 1>going to close down the casting window and they will

156
00:09:51.159 --> 00:09:54.320
<v Speaker 1>probably have everything cast out for the first season or two.

157
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.840
<v Speaker 1>That's right. That's right. So I'll let y' all know

158
00:09:58.919 --> 00:10:03.360
<v Speaker 1>that it's pretty outside. Look at all that grain behind me.

159
00:10:03.399 --> 00:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>Look at my grass, it's a foot tall. Won't quit raining.

160
00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:10.840
<v Speaker 1>It's been raining for six days. It'll dry up. I'll

161
00:10:10.879 --> 00:10:13.000
<v Speaker 1>be on a deadline. I can't get on my lawnmower

162
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:17.279
<v Speaker 1>and cut grass. And then once I finish my deadline,

163
00:10:17.279 --> 00:10:20.159
<v Speaker 1>it starts raining. I still can't cut. I got a

164
00:10:20.200 --> 00:10:22.679
<v Speaker 1>big old lawnmower, so it'll cut this grass. I kind

165
00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:25.879
<v Speaker 1>of like cutting it when it's deep sometimes then I

166
00:10:25.919 --> 00:10:28.559
<v Speaker 1>can see what I'm doing. All right, you guys, have

167
00:10:28.600 --> 00:10:31.080
<v Speaker 1>a good day. We'll see all the next podcast. Thanks,
