1
00:00:01,120 --> 00:00:03,279
Speaker 1: And now Audio Theater Central.

2
00:00:11,279 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 2: Hello, welcome to Audio Theater Central. This is the show

3
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:19,280
that explores family friendly audio drama through news, reviews and interviews.

4
00:00:19,679 --> 00:00:23,800
I'm your host, JD. Sutter. This is episode two oh three.

5
00:00:25,199 --> 00:00:28,440
We are going to be featuring our on location recaps

6
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,440
from the Adventures of Odyssey One Grand Party with the

7
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:35,920
ATC team, Austin Peachey and Michael Schrader. I've also got

8
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:40,240
some highlights from other folks within the AIO fan community

9
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:41,880
that we're going to be sharing with you later on

10
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,039
in the episode. Really excited to have these folks involved.

11
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:48,799
And then as we wrap up this episode, we're going

12
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,240
to take a look at what's ahead some of the

13
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:55,159
things that you can look forward to in Adventures Odyssey,

14
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,799
especially if you were not able to go to the

15
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,240
One Grand Party. However, even if you were, there will

16
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:04,959
still be some stuff that I'm sure you'll be excited

17
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:11,040
about as well. So let's get into this. First of all,

18
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:12,840
I want to say if you are new to Audio

19
00:01:12,879 --> 00:01:17,280
Theater Central, this is not a typical episode. We're doing

20
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:19,560
things a little bit differently in this episode. It is

21
00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:23,879
a special episode to commemorate this great historical event in

22
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,599
the history of adventures in Odyssey and in the family

23
00:01:27,599 --> 00:01:30,159
friendly audio drama industry as a whole. I mean, this

24
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,799
show has affected this industry in a huge, huge way.

25
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:37,640
So this is a milestone for all of us. So

26
00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:40,840
if you are new, be sure to come back or

27
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,239
check out the back catalog for more in this family

28
00:01:44,239 --> 00:01:47,359
friendly audio drama space. I'm sure you'll find something that

29
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,599
you will enjoy. Now, if you're not new and you've

30
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,840
heard some of our past recap episodes from Soniccon, I

31
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,760
decided to do things a little bit differently this time,

32
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,159
take a different approach for that event. We usually do

33
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:04,959
a recap each day and then just release those as

34
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,199
separate bonus episodes, but I decided to put them all

35
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,159
in one episode and just share my thoughts throughout. And

36
00:02:12,199 --> 00:02:14,800
then I decided to complicate things for myself even more

37
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,840
by inviting several guest contributors and editing some musical transitions

38
00:02:19,879 --> 00:02:25,199
between segments. And it's just ballooned. But it's about a

39
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:27,080
lot of work putting this together, but I hope you

40
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,199
will enjoy it. If you are at the event, the

41
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:33,280
goal is to sort of help you relive the event

42
00:02:33,479 --> 00:02:36,360
in some way, and if you weren't able to be there.

43
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,360
The goal is to give you a little bit of

44
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,479
an inside look and help you to experience it to

45
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,000
some extent vicariously through us and our team here. Now,

46
00:02:47,319 --> 00:02:49,319
I also want to say real quickly that some of

47
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:54,039
the on location audio is pretty subpar. It is recorded

48
00:02:54,039 --> 00:02:56,960
out and about it's not recorded in a studio, so

49
00:02:57,159 --> 00:03:00,960
fair warning about that, but I feel like that sort

50
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,759
of adds to the charm of it and helps us

51
00:03:03,759 --> 00:03:06,560
to take you along with us as we experience the event.

52
00:03:07,319 --> 00:03:09,840
And speaking of that, these were recorded each day, so

53
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:13,199
we may repeat some things, or in later recordings we

54
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,319
may correct something that was said in one prior because

55
00:03:16,319 --> 00:03:18,680
we found out something differently the next day, something along

56
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,039
those lines. But I left that sort of stuff in

57
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,120
for the most part, just so again you could have

58
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:26,960
sort of experience the weekend right along with us as

59
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:30,280
much as you possibly can through an audio podcast. And

60
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:32,719
before we get to those recap recordings, real quickly, I

61
00:03:32,759 --> 00:03:35,159
just want to say thank you to all of the

62
00:03:35,199 --> 00:03:38,000
ATC community members that I was able to interact with

63
00:03:38,039 --> 00:03:40,000
at the event. It was really really cool to see you.

64
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,000
Some of you have met before at other events, but

65
00:03:43,439 --> 00:03:45,520
it was really cool to see you again. Thank you

66
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,120
for everybody who came up and talked to me. Got

67
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:50,280
to give out some stickers and some business cards, and

68
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:54,560
that's always fun. Special shout out to ATC backstage member

69
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,080
Nathan Hobbs who brought his ATC backstage pass on his

70
00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:03,240
lanyard and show it to me. That was really cool. Unfortunately, Nathan,

71
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,879
we didn't get a photo together. That was an oversight

72
00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:10,159
on my part, but thank you for that. That really

73
00:04:10,159 --> 00:04:12,240
made my day to see that. So that was really cool.

74
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:16,319
It's always always a joy to meet folks from this

75
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:19,480
community out in the wild. Well I guess it's not

76
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,839
really out in the wild that is specifically at an

77
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,600
industry event, so whatever, but you know what I meant.

78
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:41,800
All right, Well, let's get into this nice Well, as

79
00:04:41,959 --> 00:04:44,959
you know, the event was called One Grand Party, but

80
00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:49,000
each day had its own name. There was different things

81
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,680
happening each day if you were not aware, and Day

82
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:57,000
one was Thursday Night, which was a much more exclusive event.

83
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,439
There was only a handful of tickets for that and

84
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,360
it was called a Night at the Soda Shop. So

85
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,480
now I'm going to roll the tape of Austin and

86
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:09,439
me talking about Day one, A night at the Soda Shop.

87
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,439
All right, Well, I'm here with Austin Peachey. The main

88
00:05:15,639 --> 00:05:19,439
event of this weekend at One Grand Party was Friday

89
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:24,199
Experience Odyssey and then Saturday the live show. But there

90
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,839
was another add on event that people could opt to

91
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,839
purchase a ticket for, and that was a dinner on

92
00:05:31,079 --> 00:05:35,360
Thursday night. Now I was not in attendance there, but

93
00:05:35,439 --> 00:05:38,160
you were, so I thought we should record a little

94
00:05:38,199 --> 00:05:43,800
segment here and share with the ATC community about your

95
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,560
experience there. So tell us what was it not? What

96
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,160
was it called night at the Soda Shop or something?

97
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, night at night at the Sook Shop.

98
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, And those are the tickets that went out super fast,

99
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:56,639
like very small group of people. It was in the

100
00:05:56,879 --> 00:05:58,879
ad and building, I think across the street. It's worth

101
00:05:59,319 --> 00:06:03,680
the Son the street anestly was set up. I come

102
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,000
inside there. There's a lot of people outside, not as

103
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:10,560
big lines, but some some of my fell eighty A

104
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,959
members were there, Johnson of the Third, Nathan and Charles

105
00:06:14,079 --> 00:06:19,879
Acres were there. But yeah, come inside, go upstairs. There's

106
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,399
big woods end facade and someone set up like a timeline.

107
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 5: On the wall. Really nice, like not a whole lot

108
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:28,279
of people there, but come into this. It was like

109
00:06:28,319 --> 00:06:29,920
a chapeltery I think it was called before.

110
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:30,839
Speaker 6: That's whereas the.

111
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 4: Getting the Show vent was go out Back and some

112
00:06:33,199 --> 00:06:36,040
of the previous live shows. Uh. But they had teable

113
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:40,040
set up there, so you didn't have assigned CDs sack

114
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,839
with whoever. I got to sit with Nathan Charles Acres

115
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:49,480
and Jasmine from the AO fanfoot prick up Facebook and

116
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,519
a few other people.

117
00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,639
Speaker 5: But yeah, I was really nice set up. He had

118
00:06:54,639 --> 00:06:56,920
honestly music playing there and.

119
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 2: It wasn't just a dinner. There was actually some entertainment

120
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:00,240
stuff for Yeah.

121
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, the dinner was a very very small part of him. Basically,

122
00:07:03,079 --> 00:07:04,439
you say, at the table, we have food there, but

123
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:09,040
Jim Daily came out on stage there and talked to

124
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,040
us a little bit and then prayed for the meal,

125
00:07:11,959 --> 00:07:14,160
and I said, if I was going to get our

126
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:17,079
food or having it served to us, they dismissed the

127
00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:19,800
table one at a time. So you said that you're

128
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:20,120
gonna have.

129
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 3: Some people come to table to dismiss you.

130
00:07:22,839 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 4: Special guests please like autographs of how to do it

131
00:07:24,959 --> 00:07:27,759
now or think that so they have to really honestly

132
00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:31,560
cast there, like Kaylee, Chris Anthony and people like that,

133
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:35,079
and then Paul McCusker and Dave Arnold and people like

134
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,360
that our table, palm Custer can want her to our table.

135
00:07:38,399 --> 00:07:40,199
Speaker 5: So we had to talk to him. He asked the

136
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:41,959
different people like you know where they're from, and they

137
00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:42,759
things like.

138
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:44,959
Speaker 6: That, and that was that was really cool.

139
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,959
Speaker 3: I got it, uh, meet his wife the first time, Elizabeth.

140
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 6: And the food.

141
00:07:49,199 --> 00:07:50,519
Speaker 3: I think you're like salad.

142
00:07:51,199 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 2: Like a British accent.

143
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: I didn't hear speak much, but I want you got

144
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,120
to hurt her a little bit more to hear more

145
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,839
of her accent so rather so that's an accent absolute

146
00:08:00,879 --> 00:08:01,680
in the United States.

147
00:08:01,639 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 7: So well.

148
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,879
Speaker 5: But yeah, they had salad, surfer vegetables, I think, mashed potatoes.

149
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 3: And then near the end of that.

150
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:14,079
Speaker 5: Eating time, Uh, Phil Oliver came out and he's kind

151
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:15,800
of he's kind of like the MC. For the rest

152
00:08:15,839 --> 00:08:19,800
of the night, he introduced the cast, kept on the stage.

153
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:23,600
One of the things they did was I think the

154
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,560
first thing. Maybe he mixed some of this up, but

155
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:29,639
basically there was a contest for the attendees for kids

156
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,240
thirteen or like sixteen or.

157
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 3: Something like that.

158
00:08:32,639 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 4: Basically not not an adult all for kids, I think,

159
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,080
but I made like thirteen other postly, but kids could

160
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:42,039
write the good scripts, but the honesty characters have the

161
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,639
actors performing live there like wow or scripts. Unfortunately Andre

162
00:08:46,759 --> 00:08:50,039
couldn't Andre Sto, mister Whitaker couldn't be there. So Deve

163
00:08:50,120 --> 00:08:53,600
Arnold actually stepped into play Wits part in that because

164
00:08:53,759 --> 00:08:57,519
really can't live show they were going to adapt, I'm sure,

165
00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,960
but for this what was part of the person there.

166
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:01,399
So Dave arnl Black she had to feel in for

167
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,840
Wits and that's that was kind of cool. It was

168
00:09:05,039 --> 00:09:07,440
I think one thousand things or something like that.

169
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:10,919
Speaker 5: It is like Candy Conversation with Connie celebrating one thousand

170
00:09:10,919 --> 00:09:16,200
episodes of Candy Conversation with Connie, and different contestas had

171
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,080
that could beat the different characters that could be find

172
00:09:18,159 --> 00:09:20,639
one thousand things, but they could not buy those things.

173
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:24,720
So I think Woton had to find one thousand marbles

174
00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:29,679
with I think just get one thousand stamps, Wilson to

175
00:09:29,799 --> 00:09:32,879
get one thousand I can't remember with us were Oh,

176
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,919
it is kind of their competition a little bit, you

177
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,080
know some of the rivalry rivalry that you know Witt

178
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:38,799
and Wilson or Jason had kind of like from Game

179
00:09:38,919 --> 00:09:43,000
Night or like with Wilson and uh Saw on snow

180
00:09:43,039 --> 00:09:45,720
Forth kind of thing. It was a decent script, like

181
00:09:45,759 --> 00:09:48,559
for what it was like, it was short, it wrote,

182
00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:52,840
the characters were there, you know, pretty accurate in their portrayals.

183
00:09:53,039 --> 00:09:55,960
Oh and actually I can't remember I remember the girl's name,

184
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,320
but they had her come up on stage. She had

185
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:02,120
a stool there, directors stool basically like an feels and

186
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,519
he got some direction for them and they did the script.

187
00:10:06,159 --> 00:10:07,960
So that was that was cool and I'm sure really

188
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,440
made that kid feel special. And I think after that

189
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,240
they had I think it was called Nothing but the

190
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:16,960
Half Truth, you know, said reference. But basically somebody had

191
00:10:17,039 --> 00:10:21,559
to one person on stage had full in the fighter jets.

192
00:10:21,879 --> 00:10:24,799
One person had, everyone else had, but they each have

193
00:10:24,879 --> 00:10:27,960
to tell the story of how they how they flying

194
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,639
a fighter jet, and only one person was telling the truth.

195
00:10:31,879 --> 00:10:33,480
So each of them are doing this kind dramatic way.

196
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,799
Some like Townsend Coleman did very kind of making it

197
00:10:36,879 --> 00:10:38,600
up like that, and Chris Anthony, she did it in

198
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:41,440
her Madge voice, like Madge was almost like got her

199
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:43,480
percent and was like, oh yeah, I was doing I

200
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:46,399
doing my my nails up in the air. And like

201
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,000
there was some kind of stuff and then like Wilson,

202
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,159
like Gregor.

203
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,480
Speaker 4: Jamarl, you know, I just did a very uh you know,

204
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,919
it was very storytelling, tell them like that he's greated that.

205
00:10:55,879 --> 00:10:56,399
Speaker 6: Kind of thing.

206
00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: Wait, so was this but the one that was true?

207
00:11:00,279 --> 00:11:00,639
Speaker 6: Was it?

208
00:11:00,720 --> 00:11:05,519
Speaker 2: Was it true of that person's true that not the character.

209
00:11:06,759 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 3: For themselves.

210
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: They were doing them in character voices.

211
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 5: Well, I think I think they all did in the

212
00:11:12,159 --> 00:11:12,840
normal voices.

213
00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:17,279
Speaker 4: Chris, yeah, I think she played her up a little bit,

214
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:19,840
and I think just did it in his not his

215
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:20,559
mouth of voice.

216
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,799
Speaker 5: But he just went through the whole line. At first

217
00:11:23,799 --> 00:11:26,639
I suspected like towns in because it almost felt like

218
00:11:26,639 --> 00:11:28,240
he was going on his way to make it sound

219
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,039
fake to a certain extent. But then I heard Wilson

220
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,080
Gregory Jerborrow's story and like this sounds so really he

221
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:36,840
got the fact straight. And then some people think had

222
00:11:36,879 --> 00:11:39,960
some tells a little bit and some said it a

223
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:44,159
little bit too far fetched. So but I people think

224
00:11:44,519 --> 00:11:46,320
like who, who do you think of audience? Like who

225
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:48,320
do you think uh said a shout out.

226
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 4: That person's name? I think And then it was funny

227
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,919
Phil had like Okay, the person that actually uh told

228
00:11:55,919 --> 00:11:58,720
the truth or whatever stand up and all the Katska

229
00:11:58,840 --> 00:11:59,919
stand up and then the finolca.

230
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,639
Speaker 5: It's this whole deal of like the sitting down like

231
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:06,000
like oh and that it was. It was just kind

232
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,279
of funny the way the person as came through and

233
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,759
finally it was proven to be Townsend. He actually told

234
00:12:12,799 --> 00:12:14,840
the story on the cruise, I guess apparently, and I

235
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,720
don't think hearn about it, but basically he had to

236
00:12:17,759 --> 00:12:20,440
take over a little bit for say a friend of

237
00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,039
his or something. I can't remember. Oh yeah, it was

238
00:12:22,039 --> 00:12:23,320
when he was working in Cincinnati.

239
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:23,679
Speaker 2: Wow.

240
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:26,759
Speaker 5: I think the radio station like local celebrities, I think

241
00:12:26,759 --> 00:12:28,919
for it, and I think he actually maybe did like

242
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,000
a loop to loop or bar romor something like that

243
00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:32,840
in the air or something like that. I mean, the

244
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:34,559
way he told the story is very kind of a

245
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:36,399
little bit to be a player in it to a

246
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:39,039
certain extent, and it's kind of like plotting, like kind

247
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:40,679
of making up on the spot. But he told it

248
00:12:40,759 --> 00:12:43,919
kind of more realistically and more true of what he

249
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,720
had said before. But it's like, yeah, feels like yeah

250
00:12:46,759 --> 00:12:50,840
that this is Jason Whittaker here. So that so that

251
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:51,440
was fun.

252
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 4: And then they had I'm blanking on what they did next,

253
00:12:57,159 --> 00:13:00,240
but they were going to have after that. I think

254
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,639
that third thing they had the cast got to the

255
00:13:02,639 --> 00:13:05,559
facade at wits End and everyone, all the attendees, they'd

256
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:06,720
all get a picture with the cast.

257
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 3: You line up and then get your picture.

258
00:13:08,399 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 4: And then but while it's going, they had this really

259
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,240
cool video compilation of from the actors for the one

260
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,600
thous episode celebration, like what did you start on Odyssey

261
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:19,159
in your first episode and that kind of stuff that

262
00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:22,320
they interview with the cast that were there, some other

263
00:13:22,440 --> 00:13:26,879
actors like uh Plemackail Williams, the Place Trey, Barbara and

264
00:13:26,879 --> 00:13:30,000
Noiles Place, Missus Adelaide, Dan Hagen, the Place Jackaonrie. So

265
00:13:30,039 --> 00:13:31,360
I had quite a bit a few of that, like

266
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,080
nude content something sort of that I'd heard before.

267
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 5: And then the one grand tribute, the artwork contest kind

268
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:40,279
of thing that it's been going on for a while.

269
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:44,919
Are you Illustrated? Episode? So they had an episode that

270
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,480
episode artwork on there and they paid like a like me,

271
00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:51,159
like a ten or fifteen second clip of this episode

272
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,320
there and they go that kind of slide it in

273
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,799
through that. So it filled up the time for which

274
00:13:55,799 --> 00:13:58,120
of when all the tables would being dismissed to go

275
00:13:58,159 --> 00:13:58,879
have the pictures.

276
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 4: But also during that time we saw the different displays

277
00:14:02,759 --> 00:14:05,279
that would be shown for Experience Odyssey the next day,

278
00:14:05,759 --> 00:14:10,080
like the battle Room, imagination station, the gallery and stuff

279
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,639
like that, and then meeting people like Check Bowlty was there,

280
00:14:13,759 --> 00:14:17,120
Paul Cusker, Abigail Geiger was there, Lucado, so a lot

281
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:19,480
of the cast and crew, maybe the main cast Rea

282
00:14:19,519 --> 00:14:20,559
and I take a pictures, but a lot of the

283
00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:24,200
crew members and people that work at Focus were there,

284
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,600
so it was really nice getting to talk with them

285
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,600
and get pictures with them or autographs and things like that.

286
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,759
And then after the pictures were taking them, they left,

287
00:14:33,799 --> 00:14:36,960
but myself and the third could Brumley I forgot.

288
00:14:37,039 --> 00:14:37,200
Speaker 2: Yeah.

289
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 5: Col Brimley from the Ada was there too, taught the

290
00:14:40,679 --> 00:14:42,519
few people there. We actually we actually when the last

291
00:14:42,519 --> 00:14:45,240
peoples there spread, they didn't kick us out sooner, but

292
00:14:45,399 --> 00:14:48,120
we thought to Marissa from at my Wits End just

293
00:14:48,159 --> 00:14:50,240
an intern I Focused this year, so that was kind

294
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,279
of cool to see her and it was so nice,

295
00:14:54,320 --> 00:14:56,960
like it was, I feel the cart iskent on more

296
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,279
intimate setting because you have so not as many people

297
00:14:59,279 --> 00:15:00,840
and there's a good I think it's a hundred fifty

298
00:15:00,879 --> 00:15:03,360
two undred people, I mean attendees max.

299
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:06,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's quite a lot. That's quite a difference

300
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:07,679
from six thousand for sure.

301
00:15:07,879 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 4: For sure.

302
00:15:08,399 --> 00:15:10,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's where the tickets win so early. There was

303
00:15:10,519 --> 00:15:14,480
so few of them. But it just relaxed and you know,

304
00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:16,279
and the food too, Like I ate my food, but

305
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:18,039
not bad, not extra good.

306
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:19,279
Speaker 6: It was it was just there. I wasn't there for

307
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:20,639
the food anyway, but.

308
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,039
Speaker 5: Uh yeah, it was kind of surree to a certain

309
00:15:24,039 --> 00:15:26,279
extand like I felt like, you know, I'll look back

310
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:29,440
on this later, like wow, that actually happened. Yeah, but

311
00:15:29,799 --> 00:15:32,159
it felt like, you know, it felt like friends and

312
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,440
family get together on those and then you're meeting fans,

313
00:15:34,639 --> 00:15:37,200
you know them making that you're connecting over Odyssey and

314
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,480
like well your favorite episode or quotes, like what quotes

315
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,840
you use or where'd you come from and things like that.

316
00:15:44,039 --> 00:15:45,600
So getting to know some of the some of the

317
00:15:45,639 --> 00:15:49,559
other fans there, it was just yeah, it was. It

318
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,399
was an amazing experience. Well worth the money. I wish

319
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:54,720
I wish more people could have been able to get

320
00:15:54,759 --> 00:15:57,840
tickets for it, but it was definitely a highlight. Like

321
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,519
I think at that time that day said, even though

322
00:16:00,559 --> 00:16:02,519
I didn't get to go to anything past this day,

323
00:16:02,639 --> 00:16:04,080
I think this has been bul with the trip.

324
00:16:04,279 --> 00:16:08,919
Speaker 2: Mmm, that's cool. That's cool. Yeah, I think from what

325
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:12,279
I've seen building up to the event, they've really put

326
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:17,480
a ton of time, effort and thought into every aspect

327
00:16:17,559 --> 00:16:21,799
of this weekend. So kudos to the AIO team and

328
00:16:21,919 --> 00:16:24,200
all the people that Focus, because it's not just the

329
00:16:24,279 --> 00:16:26,960
AIO team that's involved in this. I mean there's a

330
00:16:27,039 --> 00:16:30,080
lot of other people helping out with everything. So yeah,

331
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,039
it's just really really cool to see these kinds of things.

332
00:16:33,279 --> 00:16:37,480
And stay tuned and we'll be checking in and giving

333
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:40,320
some recaps of the rest of the weekend. Thanks Austin,

334
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:46,000
Thank you. So Day two was Friday, and this was

335
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,519
all day long and it was called Experience Odyssey. Now

336
00:16:49,559 --> 00:16:54,559
they had two separate time slots, time blocks I guess,

337
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:59,000
a morning and an afternoon, so they split the entire

338
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:03,200
crowd half went to the morning, half went to the afternoon.

339
00:17:03,879 --> 00:17:07,079
And this was where you could basically walk all over

340
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:11,519
the Focused campus and there were Odyssey related things everywhere

341
00:17:12,039 --> 00:17:15,440
in the Welcome center down in the wits End area,

342
00:17:16,759 --> 00:17:21,359
and there were sessions and interactive displays and then just

343
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,799
displays that you can browse through. There was merchandising happening,

344
00:17:25,319 --> 00:17:29,119
all kinds of stuff. So I'm going to go ahead

345
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:34,160
and roll the recording of me, Austin and Michael recapping

346
00:17:34,599 --> 00:17:41,480
the Experience Odyssey. Well, Hello, this is Jad and I'm

347
00:17:41,519 --> 00:17:45,640

348
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 7: Live from the Cracker Barrel parking lot, and Oftin Peach

349
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,440

350
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,519
Friendly Neighborhood. Reminder to lock our car and remove our valuables.

351
00:17:54,839 --> 00:18:00,279
Speaker 2: Right, we just left the Friday What was it called

352
00:18:00,319 --> 00:18:05,319
Experience Odyssey. Yeah, uh, it's been a long day, let's

353
00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,680
just say that, and my brain's a little fried. So yes,

354
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,920
it's called Experience Odyssey. And it was pretty amazing. It

355
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,880
was pretty spectacular. I was very impressed.

356
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,440
Speaker 7: I was not expecting all of the sets they had

357
00:18:16,559 --> 00:18:18,799
set up when you walk in that are simulating the

358
00:18:18,839 --> 00:18:19,440
ton of Odyssey.

359
00:18:19,519 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 5: I was.

360
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 2: I was.

361
00:18:20,519 --> 00:18:23,160
Speaker 6: I loved the Bible Room. I loved the Bible. Yeah.

362
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:25,880
Speaker 4: I like the Tinknamas or the Covenant, like the bookshow

363
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,000
from a Consequence, but really miss opportunity.

364
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,599
Speaker 3: They didn't have a wolf Jericho for you don't have more, Oh,

365
00:18:31,519 --> 00:18:32,319
come tumbling down.

366
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 7: I did like how the Arc of the Covenant had

367
00:18:34,039 --> 00:18:36,599
like smoke coming out of it and uh and kids

368
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,359
kept about to touch it and I was like, hey,

369
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:38,839
don't touch it.

370
00:18:40,279 --> 00:18:41,920
Speaker 6: You want to fall dead? What's wrong with you?

371
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 7: And they had the bookshelf to go into the computer

372
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:48,799
room with the Last Battle on it, and Austin, did

373
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:50,440
you try to pull out the Last Battle to see

374
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:52,559
it open? I did and it was a cardboard. It

375
00:18:52,599 --> 00:18:55,599
wasn't even a real boat, no key, but I tried

376
00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:56,400
and it was awesome.

377
00:18:57,920 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 2: It was really cool. And they had the Tower of

378
00:18:59,240 --> 00:18:59,880
Babble display.

379
00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

380
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 2: And then there was the imagination station.

381
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:06,480
Speaker 4: Yes, it's not the elevator that the welcome center has.

382
00:19:06,559 --> 00:19:08,480
It actually was like they had the elevator spaceshift kind

383
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,440
of thing, and you know, you get in there, rumbles

384
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:12,960
and make noises of the red button.

385
00:19:13,039 --> 00:19:15,440
Speaker 6: There you're with voice. It was pretty cool. That's what

386
00:19:15,519 --> 00:19:17,680
I always pictured the imagination station as the one they

387
00:19:17,759 --> 00:19:20,279
had there. Yeah, sort of like a phone booth.

388
00:19:20,279 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 8: Guy.

389
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:23,799
Speaker 4: They are already don't need the rooms imagination station for this,

390
00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:26,480
yeah no, yeah, and yeah there was a really long line,

391
00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:28,160
so I tried when I walked past, I tried to

392
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,079
get in as many of the family photos as they could.

393
00:19:31,839 --> 00:19:32,799
Speaker 6: But yeah, that was really fun.

394
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 4: Speaking of pictures, they had the gallery there, yes, and

395
00:19:38,759 --> 00:19:41,440
then throughout the day they have this picture moved and

396
00:19:41,559 --> 00:19:44,920
have like Odyssey actors or crew members like True Martin,

397
00:19:45,039 --> 00:19:49,400
abol Geiger, Robbie Bruce where they would answer questions from people.

398
00:19:49,559 --> 00:19:51,680
Speaker 7: That was such a fun idea and they had. Yeah,

399
00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,000
I saw Shona and Gregory Jabara and Katie Lee.

400
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 6: I walked past.

401
00:19:56,319 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 7: I could hear Katie's voice and She's like, nobody ever

402
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:00,480
tells me anything, And I was like like, oh, this

403
00:20:00,599 --> 00:20:03,839
is such a great classic Connie line. That was one

404
00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:06,240
of the trivia questions in the trivia game.

405
00:20:06,279 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 4: They had a trivia game later on where participants could

406
00:20:10,079 --> 00:20:13,519
work on it and like some people from the audience

407
00:20:13,599 --> 00:20:16,599
and then people with the phones. One of the questions

408
00:20:16,799 --> 00:20:19,240
was filling fill in the gap or film filling the

409
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,359
quote here nobody ever tells me or something like that.

410
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 2: So yeah, so then they had all different types of demonstrations, music,

411
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,920
sound designed. Then they had writers Q and a creators

412
00:20:32,039 --> 00:20:35,359
Q and A sessions. Just a lot going on and

413
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:36,720
there were a lot of people.

414
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,599
Speaker 7: Yes, there were so many people. I know, the first

415
00:20:39,640 --> 00:20:42,680
sessions that I got to, all of them were packed out.

416
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:44,279
We couldn't even go sit in on any of the

417
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,680
same from sound design or music or writers.

418
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 6: Or anything because there were so many people there.

419
00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:48,279
Speaker 2: Yeah.

420
00:20:48,319 --> 00:20:50,519
Speaker 4: The most used word I used to stay or words

421
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:55,000
it was excuse me, so many people. But it was

422
00:20:55,039 --> 00:20:58,079
amazing having so many Honesty fans there, like even if

423
00:20:58,079 --> 00:20:59,799
you're like waiting a line for something, you didn't talk

424
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,359
people like, hey, how long you listen to Odyssey and

425
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,480
things like that. So cool, like finding friends that he

426
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:05,759
didn't know.

427
00:21:05,839 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, and they had a lot of historic Odyssey memorabilia

428
00:21:09,279 --> 00:21:12,279
just in displays. So they had like the first the

429
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:14,599
reels of the first episode, right did you see that?

430
00:21:15,079 --> 00:21:18,200
And they had they had Connie's audition tape. Oh wow,

431
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:20,160
that she sent in there, Katie Lee, I should say

432
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:25,359
her audition tape. And even I saw John Fornoff walking

433
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:26,480
in and he's the one who told me about that,

434
00:21:26,519 --> 00:21:27,799
so I went and found it.

435
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 2: But that's interesting, Yeah, so real, real quickly, let's talk

436
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:33,839
about some of the people industry folks that we ran into.

437
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:38,519
So I got to speak with Tory Martin's Real, briefly

438
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:43,319

439
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:45,519

Grayson Smith, the Getting the Show winner from twenty seventeen.

441
00:21:49,799 --> 00:21:51,960
I know I'm forgetting people, but what about you, Michael.

442
00:21:52,519 --> 00:21:52,880
Speaker 6: Let's see.

443
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, So we ran into John Fornoff almost immediately when

444
00:21:55,279 --> 00:21:58,680
we got here, and then he jumped out.

445
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 6: Yeah with the Eugene mask. It was crazy, j and

446
00:22:03,039 --> 00:22:06,119
uh yeah, Jay, there you go. I I'm trying to remember.

447
00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:07,920
I like saw a bunch of people in passing, but

448
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:08,400
I didn't.

449
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,319
Speaker 7: Oh well, I was standing there when you were talking

450
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,799

00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:13,559
with John Campbell.

452
00:22:13,839 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 6: I tried to get a picture of you taking in

453
00:22:15,400 --> 00:22:16,839
selfie with John Campbell, but I was too slow.

454
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,720
Speaker 7: I know, I know, for I almost jumped on the

back of the golf cart with Paul McCusker and Phil

456
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:25,799
Laller that I decided against it.

488
00:24:06,839 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 10: Hey.

489
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 2: I mean, when they say your table's ready, you don't

490
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,559
wait around, even if you're in the middle of a podcast,

491
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,720
especially at Cocker Barrel. You got to take what you can,

492
00:24:14,759 --> 00:24:17,319
get it when you get it, Okay. So we were

493
00:24:17,319 --> 00:24:21,000
talking about the people that we ran into, and as

494
00:24:21,039 --> 00:24:23,039
with all of these kind of things is with Sonic

495
00:24:23,079 --> 00:24:27,200
Coon and other AIO events, it's the show aspects of

496
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,240
these things are great, but for me, it's really about

497
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:32,880
getting to see the people again, you know, whether that's

498
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,279
the cast or crew or just other fans. So of

499
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,640
course Odyssey fan Dan was there and I mentioned David

502
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,359
I mean we said that already there was like, you know,

503
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,920
they had six thousand tickets and they are all sold out.

504
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,400
But that's that's just one of my favorite things is

505
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,440
just getting to see the I said it too to

506
00:25:00,559 --> 00:25:02,599
Austin and I don't remember if I said it to you, Michael,

507
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,279
but I said it to somebody else too. It just

508
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,359
kind of felt like a family reunion, just getting to

509
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:08,599
see all these people again, you know.

510
00:25:08,799 --> 00:25:10,720
Speaker 9: So except for Austin not recognizing me.

511
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 7: That made it feel like Lucid glasses, ma'am, I'm like Clark,

512
00:25:15,799 --> 00:25:17,000
can't you can't tell who I am?

513
00:25:17,319 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 5: I have my glasses on Michael Shoulder's release Superman keep

514
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:20,880
it to yourself listeners.

515
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 2: So, of course, I mean, we talked about a lot

516
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,599
of the people that we get to see, but we

517
00:25:28,799 --> 00:25:32,200
mentioned the different types of sessions that they had. So, Michael,

518
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:34,240
what was the first session you made it into? Because

519
00:25:34,559 --> 00:25:37,920
you mentioned earlier that there were something you couldn't get into.

520
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,160
They were already full, So what was the first one

521
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,079
you got to get into.

522
00:25:41,759 --> 00:25:43,960
Speaker 7: I just kept walking around until I found one where

523
00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:46,599
I could slip in the back and and wasn't getting

524
00:25:46,599 --> 00:25:48,359
turned away at the door. They had guards at the doors,

525
00:25:48,599 --> 00:25:50,519
so you just had to find your way in, and

526
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:54,960
so I went in during the trivia towards It was

527
00:25:55,079 --> 00:25:56,519
in the middle of the trivia as they were doing

528
00:25:56,559 --> 00:25:58,119
the game, and so I watched a couple of.

529
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 9: Questions of that and that was fun.

530
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 7: And I were you in the tribute thing for Yeah,

531
00:26:01,839 --> 00:26:04,319
I was there it all it okay, yeah you're standing

532
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:06,799
room only. Yeah, it was packed in there and it

533
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,720
was very hot. And how did they get the contestants

534
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:10,799
out there? I didn't see that part.

535
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:15,079
Speaker 5: The first session around, they had like the kids thirteen

536
00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,920
and under go up there. The Nathan asked them qualifying questions.

537
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,559
So he asked a question, kids has raised her hands

538
00:26:21,599 --> 00:26:24,720
to point random one out. They'd answer and they got

539
00:26:24,759 --> 00:26:27,720
it right. Then they got very four of them, and

540
00:26:27,839 --> 00:26:30,400
then they had the questions reaching. They had buzzers. Zack

541
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,160
Schneider and Luca and Nell were helping out with that

542
00:26:33,279 --> 00:26:35,200
with the score keeping and the buzzers and that kind

543
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:35,920
of stuff.

544
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,519
Speaker 9: And Nathan Hudler was moderating right exactly.

545
00:26:38,759 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, so if you make a mistake, he's gonna let

546
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,279
you know. He does all things Odyssey. But yeah, and

547
00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:49,319
then they had family event where you cure code qualifan

548
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,519
question with that so family groups could compete together.

549
00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 9: Oh okay, And then I was competing in the back

550
00:26:55,319 --> 00:26:57,319
just to wife in your mind. Yeah, she was very

551
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:58,720
impressed without my trivia.

552
00:27:00,759 --> 00:27:03,680
Speaker 5: And then they had the last part of it was

553
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,119
the die hard. It's a lot more harder questions and

554
00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,079
this could be I think anybody, but yeah, that was

555
00:27:09,119 --> 00:27:10,839
a lot of fun to see see this happen. And

556
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,079
some questions are fairly easy, at least I'm not saying

557
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:16,920
I'm the best at trivia for that, but most of

558
00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,799
them are fairly easy, and I was kinda fine with

559
00:27:19,039 --> 00:27:20,359
the people around me were saying that kind of the

560
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,759
answers or whatever, some of them. I think I got

561
00:27:22,799 --> 00:27:26,039
me one or two wrong, possibly, but I was pretty

562
00:27:26,039 --> 00:27:28,240
impressed with how many of the I think it was

563
00:27:28,559 --> 00:27:31,079
mainly old kids, not really any adults, but the kids,

564
00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:32,839
well they know their odyssey.

565
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:34,000
Speaker 9: Yeah, which is how it should be.

566
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 6: That was that was good.

567
00:27:35,559 --> 00:27:39,279
Speaker 2: So easy questions like what is mister Whitaker's school name?

568
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 7: Well, they had some like the one I was in

569
00:27:41,279 --> 00:27:44,680
there for was like what was Connie's nickname at camp?

570
00:27:45,039 --> 00:27:48,200
I don't even Inville Gumonville, yeah, which I had a

571
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,759
it was the Avenger, right, yeah, yeah. And then they

572
00:27:51,799 --> 00:27:54,359
asked like who or what came out of the Imagination

573
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,079
Station in Isaac the Chivalrous, you know, So it was

574
00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:58,240
it was stuff like that, but.

575
00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:02,319
Speaker 2: So I guess we did forget to talk about what

576
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,160
you see when you first walked in. So talk a

577
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:08,680
little bit about the displays that they had set up

578
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:09,640
in the entry area.

579
00:28:09,839 --> 00:28:13,759
Speaker 7: Well, first you register and you get these packets that

580
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:15,960
had trading cards in them. So I want to know

581
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,839
what trading cards you guys got because I may want

582
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:19,599

Benjamin Franklin with a kite and a key. And this

587
00:28:32,599 --> 00:28:36,440

589

So I'm gonna be pocketing.

590
00:28:40,359 --> 00:28:43,000

I can't the other ones I think I had, Like

00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,519
think that was an ultra rare or uncommon. Wow, he

615
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:58,039
had like one or two common ones. But yeah, that

616
00:29:58,279 --> 00:30:01,039
that was kind of fun, see seeing all the people

617
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:04,279
trading cards, Like all the kids were trading with each other,

618
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,680
and JD and I were talking. At one point kids

619
00:30:06,759 --> 00:30:08,839
came up to us and I say, Hey, what cards

620
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,000
you go? It's kind of cool this kind of event

621
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,119
that any place in the event that people could have

622
00:30:14,279 --> 00:30:15,839
this kind of connection of like, hey, what cards you

623
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:17,119
got on the trade? I had this one?

624
00:30:17,279 --> 00:30:19,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, And let me apologize to that kid if he's

625
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,599
listening because I I accidentally lied to him. I said,

626
00:30:22,759 --> 00:30:24,480
I told him I didn't have any cards. I didn't

627
00:30:24,519 --> 00:30:26,880
realize that they were in the packet because I hadn't

628
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:27,440
opened it yet.

629
00:30:27,519 --> 00:30:28,599
Speaker 5: You heard it here first.

630
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:31,319
Speaker 9: Children?

631
00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:33,559
Speaker 5: What if that revolutionary Wit?

632
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,359
Speaker 9: Franklin w Yeah.

633
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 7: And so then you walk in and they had all

634
00:30:41,799 --> 00:30:44,599
the rooms in the so they had both buildings being used.

635
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:47,279
If you've been to the Focus on the Family headquarters before,

636
00:30:47,319 --> 00:30:50,519
there's like the building where everybody works and they have

637
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,480
chapel and auditorium and stuff.

638
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,359
Speaker 9: And then there's like the visitor center, and so.

639
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 7: You walk into the visitors or to the main Focus

640
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,240
on the Family building, and they had a like different

641
00:31:00,319 --> 00:31:03,680
rooms called like the Electric Palace or the Harlequin Theater,

642
00:31:03,960 --> 00:31:05,720
Triple J and Triple Antiques.

643
00:31:05,799 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 4: Yeah.

644
00:31:06,119 --> 00:31:08,799
Speaker 9: And then so you walk in there's this facade of

645
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:10,599
wits end is that what you call it?

646
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,599
Speaker 7: Like cardboard facan and a cardboard cut out of Wit

647
00:31:14,799 --> 00:31:16,039
and you could like take pictures there.

648
00:31:16,039 --> 00:31:17,680
Speaker 9: And Austin wasn't very impressed, but I thought it was

649
00:31:17,759 --> 00:31:18,119
very good.

650
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 7: And there was a timeline of like all these trivia

651
00:31:22,359 --> 00:31:24,559
things about adventures in Odyssey, and I think I already mentioned.

652
00:31:24,599 --> 00:31:28,519
They had like some historic artifacts like the first reel

653
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,920
of like Wits Flop and Katie Lee's audition tape and

654
00:31:31,960 --> 00:31:32,559
and things like that.

655
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 5: I think I spoke. The Triple JS Antiques were further on,

656
00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:38,119
but yeah, you go into this big room where they

657
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,160
they've had some previous live shows where we had to

658
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,640
get in the show event. Last time, they had the

659
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:48,160
Bible room there, some display like I think may earlier.

660
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 9: Had they had a soda counter setup you have had that.

661
00:31:52,079 --> 00:31:54,119
Speaker 5: And then they had like a map of Odyssey set

662
00:31:54,240 --> 00:31:56,279
up there and oh yeah, the map was cool.

663
00:31:57,559 --> 00:31:58,319
Speaker 9: You didn't see the math.

664
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 5: I'll I'll show you my pion the mention O club

665
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,720
members lounge, which I didn't get to go in there,

666
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,000
but the cool was like some pins.

667
00:32:07,839 --> 00:32:09,319
Speaker 9: I saw Tom Pins and.

668
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:13,359
Speaker 5: Ryan and Valerie for kidsborough.

669
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 9: No, that's funny.

670
00:32:15,039 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 5: And then yeah, they had Joqarine's art gallery like pictures

671
00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,559
of Odyssey artwork in there, and then then Triple J

672
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:24,839
Antiques and then the different really Carlgan Theater and they.

673
00:32:24,799 --> 00:32:27,319
Speaker 7: Had a little kids radio things set have with microphone

674
00:32:27,359 --> 00:32:28,200
so you can take pictures.

675
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 9: It was a lot of like interactive stuff that the

676
00:32:30,279 --> 00:32:31,759
kids could play with.

677
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:33,240
Speaker 5: A lot of photo opportunities.

678
00:32:33,359 --> 00:32:36,319
Speaker 9: Yeah, and then that gallery thing, like you mentioned earlier,

679
00:32:36,559 --> 00:32:37,359
they had that one area.

680
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 2: They called it green Blatz Department Store showroom, and it

681
00:32:41,839 --> 00:32:44,519
was just like examples of some of the products. It

682
00:32:44,599 --> 00:32:46,680
wasn't like a place where you could purchase them, but

683
00:32:46,759 --> 00:32:48,039
it was all the way at the end of that

684
00:32:48,119 --> 00:32:50,319
one hallway past Electric Palace.

685
00:32:50,559 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, the actual store was closer to the woods End facade.

686
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:53,240
I think.

687
00:32:53,599 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 11: Okay, I only get those, you know, first run comic books. Yep,

688
00:32:59,279 --> 00:33:03,319
I grabbed mine. Okay, So let's go back to the session.

689
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:08,920
So I think I mentioned earlier. I was not able

690
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:10,559
to get into a couple of them either because they

691
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:13,519
were just full. And then so the first one that

692
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:17,720
I actually got to sit through, I believe was the

693
00:33:18,039 --> 00:33:22,920
creator's panel, I'm not mistaken, And that was with so

694
00:33:23,119 --> 00:33:27,759
Nathan Hoobler was moderating and it was Phil Lawler, Dave Arnold,

695
00:33:28,559 --> 00:33:31,039
Chuck Bolty, and Paul McCusker.

696
00:33:31,319 --> 00:33:35,519
Speaker 7: And yeah, historic moment was that Nathan Hoobler said that

697
00:33:35,759 --> 00:33:39,200
Phil Lawler played Philip Lasman and Phil Alller called him

698
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,759
out so hard, and it was that was a hard

699
00:33:41,799 --> 00:33:42,720
moment for Nathan Hoobler.

700
00:33:42,759 --> 00:33:45,640
Speaker 9: I'm sorry for listening. Nathan Paul be okay with him,

701
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,480
but he wasn't like being character.

702
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 2: Yeah that was funny, total total slip of the tongue there.

703
00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:58,200
But yeah he corrected it, and you know, you know

704
00:33:58,359 --> 00:33:59,720
everybody was thinking.

705
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,039
Speaker 6: What did you just say?

706
00:34:02,279 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 9: Oh, there were some people with hats that had like

707
00:34:04,279 --> 00:34:06,680
different phrases from Odyssey. Oh yeah, that was fun.

708
00:34:06,960 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

709
00:34:07,759 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 2: Lots of people had custom T shirts too, Like there

710
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,800
was a family that had Wade fam chalk said each

711
00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:17,000
part on each one of their T shirts so they would.

712
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:22,239
Speaker 9: Stand something like that. We could have coordinated atc YE

713
00:34:23,480 --> 00:34:23,840
next time.

714
00:34:24,599 --> 00:34:29,519
Speaker 5: Two thousands built don't move around with tac like, yeah,

715
00:34:29,559 --> 00:34:30,000
you're right.

716
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 2: Hat.

717
00:34:32,119 --> 00:34:36,199
Speaker 5: At actooin actors.

718
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 2: But yeah, so that was an interesting session. I enjoyed

719
00:34:41,960 --> 00:34:43,559
it just because it was cool to see those guys

720
00:34:43,679 --> 00:34:47,119
up there together. I haven't seen Chuck in several years,

721
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,079
so that was really cool. It wasn't my favorite though,

722
00:34:50,159 --> 00:34:52,159
just because there wasn't really anything new there.

723
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,119
Speaker 7: Yeah, if you've listened to interviews and this stu'd be

724
00:34:55,119 --> 00:34:57,400
pretty much heard a lot of that information before.

725
00:34:57,559 --> 00:35:01,159
Speaker 2: But it was cool and there was, you know, the

726
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:04,960
interaction with the other attendees, so they would they had

727
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:07,360
I don't know when they did this, but they collected

728
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:11,440
questions from the fans and so they would just read

729
00:35:11,559 --> 00:35:14,440
random questions and trying to see if that person was

730
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:16,679
in the room at that moment, and several of them

731
00:35:16,719 --> 00:35:19,920
were actually in there. And Hunter, which a lot of

732
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,880
the AIO fan community will probably know him for doing

733
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:25,599
the impersonations that he does of a lot of the

734
00:35:25,639 --> 00:35:30,119
AIO characters, but his question was one of the ones

735
00:35:30,159 --> 00:35:32,360
that got asked. I don't remember what it was now

736
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:35,239
off the top of my head, but it was that

737
00:35:35,559 --> 00:35:36,559
part of it was kind of cool.

738
00:35:37,639 --> 00:35:40,159
Speaker 5: Yeah, during that time, I had an autograph session with

739
00:35:40,239 --> 00:35:44,239
Chris Anthony and that was pretty cool again to talk

740
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,039
to her. I got her to sign my Flat Chris

741
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:51,199
as busy put together like Flat Eugene. But by the

742
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,960
time I got to give my autograph, most of the

743
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:55,960
sessions I think, were already over. So I went to

744
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:59,800
get my comic book from elsewhere in Odyssey were you

745
00:36:00,079 --> 00:36:00,440
in that time?

746
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,559
Speaker 7: I was in the creator's panel, not on the panel,

747
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:06,760
but in the room while the panel was happening.

748
00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:10,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, on the fourth row you took over for Chick Bolt.

749
00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:11,719
Forget about them all.

750
00:36:11,760 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 2: There no It was right before that session that I

751
00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:22,480
actually ran into John Campbell for the first time. Like,

752
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,280
you know, he's been on the show and I emailed

753
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:27,480
him several times over the years, and but that was

754
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:29,039
the first time to meet in person, and so that

755
00:36:29,159 --> 00:36:32,639
was cool. And at the same time, I had ran

756
00:36:32,679 --> 00:36:37,239
into Grayson Smith earlier, which I mentioned in our first recording,

757
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:39,760
but I saw him a few rows ahead of me,

758
00:36:39,800 --> 00:36:41,679
and I'm like, we didn't get a picture when we

759
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:43,480
ran into each other in the line outside. So I

760
00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:44,760
went and I was like, hey, you mind if we

761
00:36:44,760 --> 00:36:46,400
can take a picture, and so we chatted for a

762
00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:49,360
couple of minutes before that session started. So again I

763
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,679
think it's that's that's my favorite thing, is just getting

764
00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:56,199
to chat with everybody. And you know, that was twenty seventeen,

765
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:59,239
so what is that for five, six, seven years ago?

766
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,719
And he was a kid, right, And so I didn't think,

767
00:37:02,159 --> 00:37:04,119
I mean, I didn't know if he would really remember us,

768
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,880
because Michael and I were there at that moment, at

769
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:10,760
that moment, yes, at every single one of those moments

770
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:15,400
at the show. But you know, we had interviewed him

771
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:17,039
and I think we talked to all three of the

772
00:37:17,119 --> 00:37:20,679
contestants of the finalists right at the end, and so

773
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:22,639
I but I didn't know if he would remember, but

774
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,840
he did, and so that was cool. And after that session,

775
00:37:27,119 --> 00:37:29,599
I tried to get over to one of the writers.

776
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 7: I know, I told you I would save you a seat,

777
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:34,400
but it was packed out and I did try to

778
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:34,719
save you.

779
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,599
Speaker 9: Some wall space, but you didn't know carpet.

780
00:37:37,519 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 7: Well, there was carpet underneath because but it was on

781
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,280
the ram where people were walking. So yeah, it was

782
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:46,320
funny when they were starting, it was so packed in there.

783
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,360
And then Marshall Junger ran by and there was a

784
00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:50,719
seat up on the stage for him and he got

785
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:51,920
up there and goes, oh, I found.

786
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:52,280
Speaker 12: A seat.

787
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 5: That was the one was supposed to get.

788
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, sorry, sorry, Jammy. I tried to save it

789
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,719
for you. But yeah, that was a lot of fun.

790
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:04,760
There was a lot of well, Marshall and Kathy Buchanan

791
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:05,280
were going.

792
00:38:05,159 --> 00:38:08,599
Speaker 9: Back and before tell us who were who are all right?

793
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 5: Right?

794
00:38:09,639 --> 00:38:13,119
Speaker 7: So Jesse I don't know his last name, Floria, Yeah,

795
00:38:13,159 --> 00:38:16,360
he was moderating, and and then it was Bob who's

796
00:38:17,119 --> 00:38:23,000
Kathy Buchanan, Abigail Gager and Marshall Winner and yeah, that

797
00:38:23,119 --> 00:38:23,880
was very entertaining.

798
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,280
Speaker 9: They they have great like camaraderie, so it's fun to.

799
00:38:27,840 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's it was quite entertaining iking with Marshall and Kathy,

800
00:38:31,079 --> 00:38:33,679
but also some of the stories. And I don't hear

801
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:35,280
as much from Bob who's that often.

802
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:36,599
Speaker 9: I haven't heard as.

803
00:38:36,599 --> 00:38:39,679
Speaker 5: Much behind the scene stuff from a Geiger since she's

804
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:42,079
feeling new to the show. So hearing from those two

805
00:38:42,159 --> 00:38:44,119
especially was really cool.

806
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:46,400
Speaker 7: And I hadn't heard how they all started working for

807
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,840
Odyssey either, and they told those stories and it was

808
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:53,039
very all very different ways, Like Kathy started in a

809
00:38:53,039 --> 00:38:56,000
different position of Focus and she said she was really

810
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,079
bad at it, and then they offered for her to

811
00:38:58,119 --> 00:39:03,079
become a writer. And then uh, Marshall got He did

812
00:39:03,159 --> 00:39:06,079
a he wrote a script for another audio drama and

813
00:39:07,599 --> 00:39:09,599
he didn't really even know what it was, and but

814
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:11,800
he wrote a script and this guy produced it and

815
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:13,880
he sent it into Focus on the Family, hoping that

816
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:16,639
they would be impressed with his production. And Paul mccuster

817
00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,320
called back and asked who wrote the script hired Marshall didn't.

818
00:39:20,119 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 2: Hire that guy? Oh wow?

819
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,599
Speaker 7: And then uh, and then we and then we know

820
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:26,800
a little more about Abigil Geiger because she came on

821
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,840
more recently, but she she applied through the apprenticeship program.

822
00:39:31,519 --> 00:39:33,639
Speaker 9: And Bob, who's I forgot what you said?

823
00:39:33,679 --> 00:39:36,280
Speaker 5: Actually, yeah, I think he told a little about his

824
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:39,320
drama days. I think I thought you'd mentioned Jim Custer,

825
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:40,880
but they know he used to have a comedy kind

826
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,199
of trip with him or whatever. I think he met

827
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,599
Steve Harris or someone. I can't remember this story now

828
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,880
it's been a day, but it was very a very

829
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,880
fun session. Yeah, it was a very fun session for sure.

830
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you said that there was a bit of

831
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,320
news about Abigail.

832
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,840
Speaker 9: Oh, yeah, as of Monday, she came on that full time, right,

833
00:40:00,960 --> 00:40:03,679
wasn't that full time? Full time?

834
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:09,639
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's cool. I saw Jesse Kellum the fourth around,

835
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:12,000
but I never actually got to talk to him, but

836
00:40:12,079 --> 00:40:15,519
I saw him from a distance. Again, there were so

837
00:40:15,679 --> 00:40:19,000
many people there, it was just tough to At certain points,

838
00:40:19,000 --> 00:40:22,320
it was tough to get through the crowds. And so, yeah,

839
00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:24,480
it was unfortunate. I would have liked to I don't

840
00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,599
know if he knows who I am, but I would

841
00:40:26,639 --> 00:40:29,400
have liked to introduce myself. But I did get a chance.

842
00:40:29,519 --> 00:40:30,960
I don't remember if I mentioned this earlier, but I

843
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:34,159
did get a chance to talk with Christopher Deal and

844
00:40:35,719 --> 00:40:39,719
Rudy Hare for just just a few moments and introduce myself.

845
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:41,920
So that was cool. You know, I've heard their work

846
00:40:42,039 --> 00:40:45,159
and I don't remember. I think Chris Deal has had

847
00:40:45,199 --> 00:40:48,440
some Seneca noms, hasn't hasn't he Austin possibly?

848
00:40:48,519 --> 00:40:49,480
Speaker 5: I can't remember now.

849
00:40:49,800 --> 00:40:51,280
Speaker 2: I think there was one where he might have worked

850
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:56,800
on one with somebody else or something. I know Nate

851
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:02,440
Jones was the lead on that one. But anyway, he's

852
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,239
been in the photos so that they would when they

853
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,559
take a team photo with the Seneca Awards and so,

854
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:11,800
but he knew who I was, and so we chatted

855
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,599
for a few minutes, and you know, Rudy said something

856
00:41:14,679 --> 00:41:17,360
that is so true that a lot of times the

857
00:41:18,199 --> 00:41:21,079
you know, the official podcast does talk about the sound

858
00:41:21,159 --> 00:41:23,480
design aspect of it a lot, and of course on

859
00:41:23,599 --> 00:41:26,159
ATC we talk about the sound design and how important

860
00:41:26,159 --> 00:41:29,360
that is to the story, but usually the fans are

861
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:31,320
more interested in the actors, right, I mean, that's just

862
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,280
kind of makes sense. And he said, so we don't

863
00:41:34,320 --> 00:41:36,960
really get to talk too much about what we what

864
00:41:37,079 --> 00:41:40,400
we do the part of this audio drama that that

865
00:41:40,519 --> 00:41:42,920
we focus on, and so he said he just really

866
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,039
enjoyed getting the chance to do that at the at

867
00:41:45,079 --> 00:41:48,199
these sessions today. So I thought that was cool. That

868
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:49,159
is cool. Yeah.

869
00:41:49,199 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 7: One of the things I hadn't thought about before too much,

870
00:41:52,079 --> 00:41:53,840
but they were bringing it up in that creator's panel

871
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,440
was how much work they had to do originally with

872
00:41:56,559 --> 00:41:59,079
those the tapes and the razor blades and you know

873
00:41:59,199 --> 00:42:01,679
all that and that that seems like that would be

874
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:03,480
so much work. And I think it was Chuck Boltie

875
00:42:03,519 --> 00:42:06,000
that I mentioned how you really can't tell the difference

876
00:42:06,039 --> 00:42:09,719
in like there's a distinction, but like just as a

877
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,400
casual listener, I wouldn't know the difference between the old

878
00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,840
ones and the new ones production wise, but what a

879
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,440
different ballgame like doing it digitally versus doing.

880
00:42:17,280 --> 00:42:17,719
Speaker 12: It that way.

881
00:42:17,840 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, it's just all the work that they put into that.

882
00:42:20,719 --> 00:42:21,280
It's amazing.

883
00:42:22,119 --> 00:42:26,079
Speaker 2: So the last session that I was in was the music.

884
00:42:26,119 --> 00:42:28,880
They could just call it a music demonstration with John Campbell,

885
00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:33,039
and I didn't know exactly what they were going to do.

886
00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:35,880
I assumed it was going to have something to do

887
00:42:35,960 --> 00:42:36,679
with music, but.

888
00:42:37,960 --> 00:42:39,119
Speaker 5: I thought John Kimball's an actor.

889
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: No, I thought maybe he would just you know, share

890
00:42:44,039 --> 00:42:46,000
some cues that he had done or something I didn't.

891
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,440
I didn't really know. But when I had spoken to

892
00:42:48,519 --> 00:42:50,639
him early I earlier, I told him I was going

893
00:42:50,679 --> 00:42:51,800
to try to make it to one of his and

894
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:54,519
so he said, yeah, you gotta come, you gotta get him.

895
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:58,360
And so he actually sat there and composed a piece

896
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:02,079
of music right there, and I started adding all the

897
00:43:02,159 --> 00:43:05,360
instruments and stuff, and I was like, that is amazing.

898
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,920
This guy's a genius. And I really enjoyed that. And

899
00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,079
so he just kind of went through his process of

900
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:14,320
we'll start with this instrument and then we'll layer in

901
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,960
this one and then well I had a melody here,

902
00:43:17,159 --> 00:43:20,480
and it was just really really neat to see him

903
00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,199
just do his thing, and it was it was really cool.

904
00:43:23,239 --> 00:43:26,079
And then the ended with a couple of questions from

905
00:43:26,119 --> 00:43:30,280
the audience, and Yeah, that was really really enjoyable for me.

906
00:43:30,519 --> 00:43:31,360
I love that part of it.

907
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,880
Speaker 7: Yeah, I've seen him do some of that at the Guild.

908
00:43:33,920 --> 00:43:35,559
I didn't make it to the session this time, but

909
00:43:35,800 --> 00:43:39,119
it's so mind blowing the way that he puts.

910
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,199
Speaker 9: Everything together in all the different instruments he can use.

911
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:42,920
Speaker 6: It's very cool to watch them work.

912
00:43:43,159 --> 00:43:45,519
Speaker 5: The guy's funny too, he is a good entertainer.

913
00:43:46,039 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, he is.

914
00:43:47,360 --> 00:43:49,599
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's so awesome seeing like you see like I

915
00:43:49,639 --> 00:43:51,320
think he's still like some behind the scenes videos for

916
00:43:51,400 --> 00:43:53,239
like Odyssey, and I think there's one that somebody did,

917
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:56,639
like it wasn't an audisty related thing, but just seeing

918
00:43:56,679 --> 00:44:00,519
that processes how how he works all the instruments in it,

919
00:44:00,599 --> 00:44:02,679
like oh, this doesn't work and that kind off making mistakes,

920
00:44:02,760 --> 00:44:05,360
like it's all on edit. You're seeing this live in

921
00:44:05,480 --> 00:44:06,840
front of you, Like this is kind of the process.

922
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:08,559
I guess there's a little more pressure on it because

923
00:44:08,559 --> 00:44:10,280
you have an audience watching you while you're doing it.

924
00:44:11,039 --> 00:44:13,239
But it was just kind of so neat to see

925
00:44:13,280 --> 00:44:15,840
the peak behind the curtain in that in that way

926
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,119
right before your eyes and your ears. And he's such

927
00:44:19,159 --> 00:44:23,800
a humble guy and he's very very said, like very

928
00:44:23,840 --> 00:44:27,079
funny guy and really down to earth, very personable.

929
00:44:27,599 --> 00:44:30,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Nate Jones was sort of I mean, I

930
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:32,920
was gonna say moderate, but it's not really a moderation

931
00:44:33,199 --> 00:44:36,840
of a panel when it's just one person facilitating MC

932
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:40,480
and so he would, you know, toss in something here

933
00:44:40,519 --> 00:44:42,480
and there, and so they kind of talked about the

934
00:44:42,599 --> 00:44:45,079
process of how they work back and forth when they

935
00:44:45,079 --> 00:44:46,880
were working with that script and so that was that

936
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,119
was interesting too. So yeah, I think I think that

937
00:44:50,239 --> 00:44:53,039
was probably my favorite session, even though I mean I

938
00:44:53,159 --> 00:44:55,159
didn't make it into all of that all that many,

939
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,239
but out of the ones that I was able to

940
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,159
participate in, I really really enjoyed that one.

941
00:45:00,760 --> 00:45:02,639
Speaker 9: Yeah, they did a great job just putting all of

942
00:45:02,679 --> 00:45:03,159
this together.

943
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 5: They put a lot of work into it. Yeah, you

944
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,280
can tell it is Yeah, you can really see the

945
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,079
attention to detail and care that they all had for

946
00:45:12,199 --> 00:45:14,320
this is like, you know, this is like you know,

947
00:45:14,599 --> 00:45:17,599
our Disney World people will always pay all these millions

948
00:45:17,639 --> 00:45:19,760
go to or thousands or whatever to go to Disney World.

949
00:45:19,880 --> 00:45:22,920
This is like you have the welcome center there. You know,

950
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,400
it's kind of coole tot See. This is like such

951
00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:28,079
a heightened level and against seeing so many fans and

952
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:30,880
people have such a common interest. So if you're waiting

953
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:32,760
a line for something or whatever, you're talking with people

954
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:36,119
about you know, oh, hey, like what's your character and

955
00:45:36,239 --> 00:45:38,400
of course like the trading card things, or like talking

956
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:40,159
about what you're gonna have actress signed or.

957
00:45:40,159 --> 00:45:40,639
Speaker 9: Something like that.

958
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,719
Speaker 5: It's just such a cool experience.

959
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 9: Yeah, and then did you guys make it down to

960
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:48,159
the soda shop where they're they're giving away free raspberry

961
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:49,239
ripple and cupcakes.

962
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:53,880
Speaker 2: I didn't know, are you telling a story?

963
00:45:54,199 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 5: I am telling you the truth.

964
00:45:56,679 --> 00:45:58,599
Speaker 9: I we we went there.

965
00:45:58,639 --> 00:45:59,599
Speaker 5: I don't know if that's true.

966
00:46:01,639 --> 00:46:04,159
Speaker 7: No, you can ask like any of the other thousand

967
00:46:04,159 --> 00:46:06,639
people that were down there, they'll tell you the same.

968
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:08,800
But yeah, they had they had cups with the raspberry

969
00:46:08,880 --> 00:46:11,480
ripple and uh in cupcakes that because we were just

970
00:46:11,519 --> 00:46:14,559
gonna go buy something to drink, and they just had

971
00:46:14,599 --> 00:46:16,880
that available for anybody who went down there.

972
00:46:17,079 --> 00:46:18,480
Speaker 5: I think I saw I saw the thing over the

973
00:46:18,559 --> 00:46:21,079
bed and didn't walk over close to it. But yeah,

974
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:23,519
I remember when the previous day they're bringing a bunch

975
00:46:23,519 --> 00:46:26,960
of cupcakes through one the doors there. So that's as

976
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:27,920
close as I got to them.

977
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, And then they had they had you go sit

978
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,880
out on the patio and they had chalk for the

979
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:35,000
kids to draw, and there was a lot of kids

980
00:46:35,039 --> 00:46:36,639
that had drawn with a lot of child So I

981
00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:38,719
have like blue chalk on the back of my pants

982
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:40,840
now because I sat down on you.

983
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,039
Speaker 5: Didn't trying to pictures yourself.

984
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:47,280
Speaker 9: No, there was no room. But I enjoyed the raspberry ribble. H.

985
00:46:47,559 --> 00:46:49,760
Speaker 2: Well, I'm a little bit jealous.

986
00:46:50,039 --> 00:46:52,559
Speaker 9: I'm sorry. I probably shouldn't have told you. But it

987
00:46:52,679 --> 00:46:53,159
was awesome.

988
00:46:55,639 --> 00:46:58,639
Speaker 2: I think that's the that's the key phrase for the

989
00:46:58,679 --> 00:47:01,760
whole day. And I ran into I kept running into

990
00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:05,480
John Forurnoff. I think I came across him like four

991
00:47:05,519 --> 00:47:09,320
times throughout the day and we just kept saying, home, man,

992
00:47:09,360 --> 00:47:13,599
this is so so fun. It's just just the interaction

993
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:17,559
and just seeing the excitement with everybody too is really cool.

994
00:47:18,039 --> 00:47:18,239
Speaker 4: Yeah.

995
00:47:18,559 --> 00:47:21,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's nothing. There's nothing really passive about it, like

996
00:47:21,079 --> 00:47:23,400
you may just go to some events. To me, we're

997
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,400
just there. But just the energy in the room and

998
00:47:26,599 --> 00:47:29,400
things happening was just such a cool experience. Like it

999
00:47:29,519 --> 00:47:32,039
wasn't it Never there's like princh, never a dull moment,

1000
00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:33,360
And you couldn't.

1001
00:47:33,119 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 9: Get to everything that was there. You couldn't read everything

1002
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:36,880
or be in every spot.

1003
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:38,119
Speaker 6: There was a spot just for.

1004
00:47:38,159 --> 00:47:41,840
Speaker 9: Club members that I never even looked into. I have

1005
00:47:41,960 --> 00:47:42,880
no idea what was in there.

1006
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:45,360
Speaker 7: Yeah, they just had so much going on. They had

1007
00:47:45,440 --> 00:47:48,360
three sessions like every every hour, it seemed like so,

1008
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:52,800
and they repeated them like twice, you know, which is nice.

1009
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:54,559
Speaker 5: And if you don't, if you don't get to go

1010
00:47:54,599 --> 00:47:56,480
to the one you have a layer tend to do

1011
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,239
to do that, like Duhn Campbell, like I wanted to

1012
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:02,559
go to the Creators in the Creators Channel possibly like

1013
00:48:02,920 --> 00:48:05,119
I've never met John Campbell in her life before, Like

1014
00:48:05,199 --> 00:48:07,760
I have to go see this one. Yeah yeah, So

1015
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:09,360
like it was a pretty easy choice, I guess.

1016
00:48:10,119 --> 00:48:10,320
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1017
00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:13,639
Speaker 2: And one thing is that there were several people that

1018
00:48:13,719 --> 00:48:16,079
I wanted to get to see but I didn't. So,

1019
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:18,920
I mean I saw Phil phil Aller on the stage,

1020
00:48:19,400 --> 00:48:21,480
but I never got to talk to him. I never

1021
00:48:21,519 --> 00:48:24,559
got to talk to Nathan Hoobler. So there was quite

1022
00:48:24,599 --> 00:48:27,920
a few people hopefully tomorrow might get a chance to

1023
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:31,400
say something to them. I never saw Evan David. Did

1024
00:48:31,639 --> 00:48:35,760
get to speak to Dave Arnold very very briefly, just

1025
00:48:36,079 --> 00:48:38,559
a minute or two. And then we ran right right

1026
00:48:38,599 --> 00:48:41,440
around the same time ran into Nato Jacobson and he

1027
00:48:41,599 --> 00:48:43,079
ended up having dinner with us tonight.

1028
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 9: And so that was a lot of an actress and

1029
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,719
a lot of a lot of stuff Lamb Blighter and

1030
00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:49,679
other things.

1031
00:48:49,840 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 2: The Adventum and the yeah yeah so and.

1032
00:48:53,960 --> 00:48:55,559
Speaker 5: Then all the way out of the building we ran

1033
00:48:55,559 --> 00:48:56,280
into Katie Lee.

1034
00:48:57,039 --> 00:49:00,639
Speaker 2: That's right, that's right. Yeah, yeah, and I actually did

1035
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,320
see Jess Harnell. I don't know what they were doing.

1036
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:06,920
He was getting out of like an suv and walking

1037
00:49:07,079 --> 00:49:10,880
across some area with somebody else. So his his handler

1038
00:49:11,079 --> 00:49:12,719
for better lack of a better term, I don't know,

1039
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,840
because they you know, each of them as signed a

1040
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,840
person and so they were moving him from one place

1041
00:49:17,880 --> 00:49:19,679
to the other and didn't get to talk to him,

1042
00:49:19,679 --> 00:49:20,159
but I saw him.

1043
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:20,679
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1044
00:49:20,679 --> 00:49:23,159
Speaker 7: Everybody did seem pretty accessible though, Like when I saw

1045
00:49:23,719 --> 00:49:25,800
Phil and Paul getting on a golf car because they

1046
00:49:25,800 --> 00:49:27,960
were going to go do their book signings. Yeah, and there,

1047
00:49:28,119 --> 00:49:29,639
you know, there was a staff member there trying to

1048
00:49:29,639 --> 00:49:31,719
take them to the book signing and somebody came up like, oh,

1049
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,519
could we get a picture, and like well, sure, they

1050
00:49:34,639 --> 00:49:36,679
get down off the golf card and you know, there

1051
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,559
was there. They were just walking around, you know, everybody.

1052
00:49:40,159 --> 00:49:42,519
You know, even though you couldn't visit with everybody, you

1053
00:49:42,559 --> 00:49:44,039
had a chance to see people.

1054
00:49:44,039 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 9: They weren't just like clothed off.

1055
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:45,679
Speaker 8: Yeah.

1056
00:49:45,920 --> 00:49:48,679
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a that's a good word describe, very accessible

1057
00:49:48,840 --> 00:49:52,559
to approach every everybody. And yeah, people in honesty are

1058
00:49:52,559 --> 00:49:56,480
just so awesome to to meet. They're not. They're not knowledge,

1059
00:49:56,519 --> 00:49:59,920
they're not you know, staying office. They're very very low

1060
00:50:00,079 --> 00:50:01,079
being around the fans and.

1061
00:50:01,119 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 9: It says yeah yeah.

1062
00:50:04,079 --> 00:50:06,639
Speaker 2: And so there was a couple other very very brief,

1063
00:50:06,719 --> 00:50:10,400
like just short short interactions that I had to That

1064
00:50:10,519 --> 00:50:13,480
was one was with with Kathy Buchanan. She was heading

1065
00:50:13,519 --> 00:50:16,559
to that writer's panel that I didn't end up getting into,

1066
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,199
but I didn't know that. I didn't know that's where

1067
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:19,639
she was headed. But she was coming in to a

1068
00:50:19,679 --> 00:50:21,559
welcome cinder and I was standing there talking with Tory

1069
00:50:21,639 --> 00:50:24,440
Martin and she said hello, and I gave me a

1070
00:50:24,559 --> 00:50:27,000
hug real quick, and then she was off it, you know.

1071
00:50:27,079 --> 00:50:29,280
And then I later I found out that she was

1072
00:50:29,519 --> 00:50:33,599
on that panel. And then after that I ran into

1073
00:50:33,800 --> 00:50:36,360
Chris Anthony Lansdowne real briefly. Did I say that earlier?

1074
00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:37,159
I can't remember if I did.

1075
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:39,159
Speaker 5: Thank yeah, you keep name her.

1076
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,280
Speaker 2: And so that was really cool because she was the

1077
00:50:43,320 --> 00:50:45,519
one I was really like, I mean, I've met Jess before.

1078
00:50:46,199 --> 00:50:50,119
Of course, I've met Connie numerous times and Connie Katie

1079
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:53,880
and I met Shona before. Although it would have been

1080
00:50:53,960 --> 00:50:56,880
cool to see her again, but I was really hoping

1081
00:50:56,960 --> 00:50:58,960
to at least get to talk with Chris, and so

1082
00:50:59,079 --> 00:51:02,199
I was glad that that happened. And so yeah, well

1083
00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:06,760
anything any final words of wisdom, any any final thoughts

1084
00:51:06,760 --> 00:51:07,679
before we wrap this up.

1085
00:51:08,159 --> 00:51:09,760
Speaker 7: The one other thing I was thinking about was that

1086
00:51:09,880 --> 00:51:11,760
with that map that you didn't get to see, but

1087
00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:14,599
I'll show you a picture. But it was funny because like,

1088
00:51:14,639 --> 00:51:18,880
it's smaller then I picture Odyssey, and yet when I

1089
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,400
was looking at the map, I was like, Wow, I

1090
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:21,320
would like to live there.

1091
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,800
Speaker 9: This looks like such a fun like little town and community.

1092
00:51:26,119 --> 00:51:26,480
Speaker 6: They did it.

1093
00:51:26,480 --> 00:51:28,280
Speaker 9: They just did a great job with all the details,

1094
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:30,320
putting everything together. I was very impressed.

1095
00:51:31,119 --> 00:51:33,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is well worth the money and the time

1096
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,679
spent with it. It was an incredible, very much once

1097
00:51:37,719 --> 00:51:40,760
in a lifetime experience. Is to the to the caliber

1098
00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:43,239
that they put with this, Like it's even more than

1099
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,719
probably like any live show and even maybe even the cruise.

1100
00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:49,119
Like the detail and everything which is so awesome. It

1101
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,239
was a little bit stressful in some cases, but it

1102
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:56,400
was just that so so much fun and one of

1103
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,679
those memories you'll you'll keep for years to come.

1104
00:52:00,360 --> 00:52:04,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I should say real quickly. Marshall, if you're listening,

1105
00:52:05,320 --> 00:52:08,639
thank you so much. For going way beyond. He came

1106
00:52:08,719 --> 00:52:11,159
out to help me get back to where I needed

1107
00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:14,119
to go. Totally did not need to do that, but

1108
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:18,000
he did. You were lost, Well, I just wasn't feeling

1109
00:52:18,079 --> 00:52:21,320
well and the altitude, I think was really getting to

1110
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:23,920
me and I just I just had to sit down

1111
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,639
and rest and so that one of the elevators wasn't working,

1112
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,679
and so he came and took me back into another area.

1113
00:52:30,800 --> 00:52:33,840
So I was just like, wait and way above and beyond.

1114
00:52:33,960 --> 00:52:36,719
Speaker 9: So he does it all?

1115
00:52:38,599 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we will check in with you later

1116
00:52:41,159 --> 00:52:46,159
after the live show. Thanks Michael, Thanks Austin, welcome, Thank you.

1117
00:52:50,159 --> 00:52:53,400
And lastly we have Day three, which was Saturday the

1118
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,320
live show. This was not on the Odyssey campus. This

1119
00:52:57,480 --> 00:53:01,719
was at a nearby church. And there was also two

1120
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:05,920
sessions of this morning and afternoon, same show both times

1121
00:53:06,440 --> 00:53:08,320
with a little bit of a difference which you'll hear

1122
00:53:08,800 --> 00:53:13,519
in this recording me Austin and Michael recapping our thoughts

1123
00:53:13,599 --> 00:53:19,119
on the AIL live show. All right, here we are

1124
00:53:19,239 --> 00:53:23,760
once again JD with Austin and Michael. We're in another

1125
00:53:23,880 --> 00:53:28,559
car in front of another restaurant. We have a pattern here, yeah,

1126
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,440
so we are getting ready to meet up with a

1127
00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:36,480
group and have some dinner. Again. It is Saturday. After

1128
00:53:36,960 --> 00:53:38,639
both of the live shows, there was a morning one

1129
00:53:38,719 --> 00:53:40,960
in an afternoon one. Austin and I made it to

1130
00:53:41,119 --> 00:53:43,679
the morning one, and Michael you were in the afternoon one.

1131
00:53:43,800 --> 00:53:49,760
Speaker 6: Representing ATC right cards and stuff. You know, I've passed

1132
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:52,400
out less than I did yesterday.

1133
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 4: But.

1134
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:56,880
Speaker 3: I'll just give quilt how many I handed out.

1135
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:01,360
Speaker 2: So ill we'll talk about exactly what happened in the

1136
00:54:01,719 --> 00:54:04,119
event first, but I just want to mention a couple

1137
00:54:04,159 --> 00:54:07,159
of people really quickly. Finally got to meet Jacob Aisim

1138
00:54:07,199 --> 00:54:11,679
after all these years from Odyssey Scoop. Very cool, super

1139
00:54:11,800 --> 00:54:14,840
nice guy, very nice guy. And I didn't get to

1140
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:17,719
see Rose Beasley from Odyssey Moments yesterday but ran into

1141
00:54:17,760 --> 00:54:21,599
her today so that was cool. And who else? Oh,

1142
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:24,719
after the show, got to chat with more of the

1143
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:27,079
cast and crew. Got to speak with Chuck Bolti for

1144
00:54:27,119 --> 00:54:30,639
a little bit, and so that was really fun. I

1145
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,519
was hoping to be able to see him. Of course,

1146
00:54:33,920 --> 00:54:36,079
if you were a longtime listener, you know he's been

1147
00:54:36,119 --> 00:54:39,320
on the show in the past, and it's been several

1148
00:54:39,400 --> 00:54:41,800
years since I've seen him, so like I think twenty

1149
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:44,559
sixteen was the last time I actually saw Chuck, so

1150
00:54:44,679 --> 00:54:47,119
that was really cool to see him again. But let's

1151
00:54:47,119 --> 00:54:50,920
get into the main event here. I mean, experience Odyssey

1152
00:54:51,039 --> 00:54:53,079
was a lot of fun. There was a lot of

1153
00:54:53,159 --> 00:54:56,199
walking around, and today we just got to sit and

1154
00:54:56,320 --> 00:55:01,079
watch a show and it was fun. So let's start off.

1155
00:55:01,079 --> 00:55:04,159
We're not gonna give any spoilers about the story itself,

1156
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:07,320
but if you've paid any attention to any of the

1157
00:55:08,679 --> 00:55:15,880
marketing materials, you know that Shona, Robbie, Jess, Greg Jabara, Katie,

1158
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:21,000
Chris and Townsend. Did I miss anybody? They were the

1159
00:55:21,119 --> 00:55:24,360
cast members that were there, and of course they played

1160
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,960
their signature characters, but I think nearly everybody played an

1161
00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:33,679
additional character as well. So it starts off as a

1162
00:55:33,719 --> 00:55:36,159
sort of a slice of life kind of adventures, not

1163
00:55:36,239 --> 00:55:41,119
as the episode, but then it morphs into a little

1164
00:55:41,119 --> 00:55:43,079
bit of a mystery, and then it's sort of a

1165
00:55:43,199 --> 00:55:48,239
segment on Pastor Knox's podcast, and then it goes into

1166
00:55:48,440 --> 00:55:52,719
a Twilfe Zone sketch, and then we had a candid

1167
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:56,440
conversations with Connie and it sounds like that stuff does

1168
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:59,800
not go together, but they merged together really nicely. What

1169
00:55:59,840 --> 00:56:01,159
we your thought on that, Michael.

1170
00:56:01,519 --> 00:56:03,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think they did merge it together very nicely.

1171
00:56:04,159 --> 00:56:06,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, Michael.

1172
00:56:08,280 --> 00:56:11,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think I was expecting more like a kid's

1173
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:13,719
Radio of BTV kind of story. That's how a lot

1174
00:56:13,719 --> 00:56:15,719
of their live shows have been in the past, or

1175
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:18,320
something very far out like push the Red Button. But

1176
00:56:18,519 --> 00:56:19,800
this it was kind of nice to you, like a

1177
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:21,599
slice of life with all these other stuff that you

1178
00:56:22,199 --> 00:56:24,440
different storytelling genres, like the tot of Zone and Canic

1179
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,039
conversation with the Conny kind of that kind of thing.

1180
00:56:26,559 --> 00:56:27,119
Speaker 6: But it worked.

1181
00:56:27,159 --> 00:56:29,280
Speaker 4: Like there's some moments that was kind of not quite

1182
00:56:29,320 --> 00:56:31,039
forth wall breaking, but they're like jokes you may not

1183
00:56:31,239 --> 00:56:32,599
get in a normal Odyssey episode.

1184
00:56:32,599 --> 00:56:34,159
Speaker 3: That's kind of part of the course for live show.

1185
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:36,400
But it was very it was very fun.

1186
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,079
Speaker 4: It had it really played to a lot of you know,

1187
00:56:38,760 --> 00:56:42,920
character favorites and callbacks to past shows or even just

1188
00:56:43,239 --> 00:56:45,119
the actors' lives in general. Yeah.

1189
00:56:45,159 --> 00:56:48,039
Speaker 7: What I didn't expect was all the video elements, which

1190
00:56:48,079 --> 00:56:50,159
you wouldn't know if you're just listening to it, but

1191
00:56:50,719 --> 00:56:53,159
being there in person. And they had a map of

1192
00:56:53,360 --> 00:56:56,719
the odd town of Odyssey, and they had little icons

1193
00:56:56,760 --> 00:56:59,360
for the different characters and showing where they were in

1194
00:56:59,679 --> 00:57:01,960
each part of the show, and that was a lot

1195
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:02,239
of fun.

1196
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:03,760
Speaker 6: I really enjoyed that aspect.

1197
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:07,360
Speaker 7: And they even had you know, backdrops on the screen

1198
00:57:07,599 --> 00:57:10,880
the different locations and yeah, that was a fun way

1199
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:13,039
to do that. They had a little segment at the

1200
00:57:13,079 --> 00:57:15,480
beginning of the different actors all saying, you know, a

1201
00:57:15,559 --> 00:57:18,039
thousand episodes of which ones they were in, and that

1202
00:57:18,159 --> 00:57:18,639
was cool too.

1203
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:21,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it starts off with Chris kind of hyping

1204
00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,679
up the crowd a little bit and she's fantastic at that.

1205
00:57:25,480 --> 00:57:29,079
And then once it actually the show part actually starts,

1206
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:34,039
it begins with John Campbell's Odyssey overture, which is seeing

1207
00:57:34,679 --> 00:57:37,880
it's several minutes of just the Odyssey music that we

1208
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:43,000
know and love, just beautifully orchestrated, and it was very,

1209
00:57:43,079 --> 00:57:45,199
very cool. And I'm glad you brought up the visual

1210
00:57:45,239 --> 00:57:48,519
elements because that map thing with the pins representing the

1211
00:57:48,559 --> 00:57:51,840
different characters the place around Odyssey, that was a really

1212
00:57:51,920 --> 00:57:56,079
cool element. And the backdrops for each scene that kind

1213
00:57:56,079 --> 00:57:58,519
of just helped set the tone of what's going on

1214
00:57:58,639 --> 00:58:00,400
in this particular scene that we're seeing.

1215
00:58:01,119 --> 00:58:03,800
Speaker 6: And during that overture, they had a whole.

1216
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 7: Segment of like, yeah, it was like a tour through

1217
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:10,679
Odyssey with some of like artwork that we recognized that

1218
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,199
we didn't, and they merged it all together in a

1219
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:14,400
really cool way.

1220
00:58:14,639 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 2: And so it was just cool how they Yeah, it

1221
00:58:17,119 --> 00:58:19,920
was a whole bunch of Gary Locke's art that we've

1222
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,360
seen over the years, but all merged together in a

1223
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,679
really neat way. It wasn't moving necessarily, but yeah, there

1224
00:58:25,679 --> 00:58:26,960
were certain elements.

1225
00:58:27,239 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 3: Like stick puppets or something like that.

1226
00:58:28,800 --> 00:58:30,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, because there was one part where it was kind

1227
00:58:30,960 --> 00:58:33,440
of like a as if a camera was panning across

1228
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:36,039
this are down a street in Odyssey and you could

1229
00:58:36,039 --> 00:58:39,039
see the little character of Eugene on the sidewalk and

1230
00:58:39,119 --> 00:58:40,559
he's moving, but his legs aren't moving.

1231
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 6: It's just like he's he's on a skateboard.

1232
00:58:43,559 --> 00:58:47,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it was a really really cool way to

1233
00:58:47,239 --> 00:58:47,440
do that.

1234
00:58:47,719 --> 00:58:49,800
Speaker 7: And h And speaking of Gary Locke, he was like

1235
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:52,760
illustrating stuff on the stage as the live show was

1236
00:58:52,800 --> 00:58:53,239
going on the.

1237
00:58:53,239 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 3: Whole scene, a different character on each scene.

1238
00:58:55,599 --> 00:58:58,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that was cool. We're going to get into

1239
00:58:58,280 --> 00:59:01,920
a little bit of spoiler territory again, but at least

1240
00:59:01,960 --> 00:59:04,400
at this point, there are no plans to actually produce

1241
00:59:04,519 --> 00:59:06,679
or release this episode. So if you weren't there, then

1242
00:59:07,800 --> 00:59:11,039
you're never going to hear this anyway. So that's that's

1243
00:59:11,079 --> 00:59:13,360
what I've heard. I mean, they could that could change,

1244
00:59:13,880 --> 00:59:14,559
but yeah.

1245
00:59:14,440 --> 00:59:15,840
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure they will pray and at least in

1246
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:17,239
the club they've been with all. I mean, it won't

1247
00:59:17,239 --> 00:59:21,039
be like a regular episode product the Red Button. Yeah,

1248
00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:23,760
it's not gonna be something like that. They're not going

1249
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,159
to reproduce it, is what I meant to say. At

1250
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:29,119
least that's that's not on the plan right now. However,

1251
00:59:29,880 --> 00:59:31,480
what they do I was right, and if they don't,

1252
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:32,119
was right.

1253
00:59:33,039 --> 00:59:36,719
Speaker 2: That's that's fair. That's fair. Well. One thing that was

1254
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:40,400
really cool is we were not expecting at all to

1255
00:59:40,559 --> 00:59:42,280
hear Eugene Meltzner.

1256
00:59:42,039 --> 00:59:48,280
Speaker 3: And it was a really cool Townsend voice clone thing.

1257
00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:49,960
Speaker 2: It was yeah, yeah, so you have to hit that.

1258
00:59:50,039 --> 00:59:55,039
Speaker 3: They probably record that, possibly just hit that fact from us.

1259
00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,880
Speaker 2: Yep, yeah, who knows, but it was it was Townsend

1260
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:03,239
doing the voice. And another element which we were not

1261
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,280
expecting was to hear andre As with show up because

1262
01:00:07,199 --> 01:00:10,199
it was announced just shortly before the event that he

1263
01:00:10,400 --> 01:00:12,519
was having some health issues and was not going to

1264
01:00:12,599 --> 01:00:15,159
make it, and so everybody was expecting them to have

1265
01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,000
to have rewritten the whole script because he was going

1266
01:00:18,039 --> 01:00:20,960
to be an integral part of the whole show. But

1267
01:00:21,119 --> 01:00:24,280
he was able to be there some pre recorded lines.

1268
01:00:24,719 --> 01:00:27,360
I'm pretty sure those were all pre recorded in the

1269
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:31,840
actual episode part and then at the end. So in

1270
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:35,960
the morning session after the end of the show, they

1271
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,199
did a short It wasn't very long, but maybe twenty

1272
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:42,679
minutes total. So I only have a couple of questions,

1273
01:00:42,760 --> 01:00:44,360
but they did Q and A where they just had

1274
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,440
a list of questions at Bob smith Houser sort of

1275
01:00:47,840 --> 01:00:53,800
moderated and they brought in Andre Stoika via zoom. It

1276
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:55,920
looked like and he was at home or in a

1277
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,880
studio and he got to answer some of the questions

1278
01:00:59,719 --> 01:01:02,119
and so it was really cool to see him and

1279
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,760
to hear that he is recovering from the radiation therapy

1280
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,480
and he said that it looks like the cancer has

1281
01:01:09,679 --> 01:01:13,480
been taken care of. So, yeah, it's very very happy

1282
01:01:13,639 --> 01:01:14,000
to hear that.

1283
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:17,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't expect, like I expect to be a

1284
01:01:17,639 --> 01:01:19,480
lot of laugh lines. There was a lot of laugh lines,

1285
01:01:19,519 --> 01:01:21,840
but I didn't expect to be so emotional.

1286
01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:22,760
Speaker 6: I teared up.

1287
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:25,400
Speaker 4: I don't know how much especially near the end, just

1288
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,800
the way things brought together, some of the surprise guests

1289
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:31,519
and voices, and it just kind of the It was

1290
01:01:31,559 --> 01:01:33,920
a love letter to the fans so much. If you've

1291
01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,840
listened to Odyssey for any length of years, like from

1292
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:41,320
childhood up or for several years, it was just the

1293
01:01:41,519 --> 01:01:44,960
perfect Like I it's the first only actual official liveshow

1294
01:01:45,119 --> 01:01:46,800
I've been to. I like a lot of the past

1295
01:01:46,880 --> 01:01:49,559
live shows. But I think because of that more emotional

1296
01:01:49,679 --> 01:01:53,400
heart heartstream poling kind of thing. Even though it wasn't

1297
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:55,360
as boisterous, are loud or all of the places like

1298
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:57,800
the comedy, there's some really funny moments in it, but

1299
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,000
I think that attachment to the emotional aspect of it

1300
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:02,559
maybe like all of their So I think it's my

1301
01:02:02,599 --> 01:02:04,440
favorite love love show episode they've done.

1302
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:06,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, And even in the Q and A session, one

1303
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,800
of the questions was, how do you as an actor

1304
01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:12,800
prepare for some of those emotional scenes. Do you do

1305
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,719
you have something that you in your mind, you go to,

1306
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:16,599
you think about to help you get in the mood.

1307
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:19,840
And Gregory Jabbar when he answered that question, he said, well,

1308
01:02:20,519 --> 01:02:22,639
I didn't have to necessarily have to do that with

1309
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:25,480
this with this script in particular, he said, I just

1310
01:02:25,599 --> 01:02:28,519
got into the character, and he said, even the lines

1311
01:02:28,559 --> 01:02:30,559
here he was I think mister Gershwin was at the

1312
01:02:30,639 --> 01:02:35,400
name something like that that Greg played here, and he said,

1313
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:36,760
I just got into it, he said, And I was

1314
01:02:36,840 --> 01:02:39,440
feeling the emotion for real as I was doing the

1315
01:02:39,559 --> 01:02:42,840
part right here on stage. So that was really cool.

1316
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:44,679
So tell us what happened at the end of your

1317
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:45,960
session there, Michael.

1318
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, Unfortunately, in the in the afternoon live show during

1319
01:02:48,880 --> 01:02:52,679
Chris's wrap up, ironically, there was a power outage and

1320
01:02:52,760 --> 01:02:55,480
somebody said it was like a city block wide, like

1321
01:02:55,679 --> 01:02:58,719
it wasn't just that church, but somebody said like traffic

1322
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:00,880
lights throughout and stuff. So I didn't verify that, but

1323
01:03:01,400 --> 01:03:03,159
it was kind of funny because a lot of people

1324
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:06,159
turn off Odyssey during the wrap up, so it was kind.

1325
01:03:06,079 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 6: Of an homage to that. And so we didn't get

1326
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:10,199
the bonus feature either.

1327
01:03:10,239 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 7: We didn't get the Q and A with the actors,

1328
01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:13,719
and they were trying to get everybody out of the

1329
01:03:13,719 --> 01:03:15,440
building because it was just on a generator and everything

1330
01:03:15,519 --> 01:03:17,599
was going to black out. But initially, because there was

1331
01:03:17,679 --> 01:03:19,760
a part of the script, there was a power outage

1332
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:23,079
in the script, and so I thought that they were

1333
01:03:23,159 --> 01:03:25,480
making a joke like referencely back, and everybody like started

1334
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:26,280
clapping and stuff.

1335
01:03:26,599 --> 01:03:30,760
Speaker 6: Really yeah, and uh, and then they just Chris went.

1336
01:03:30,719 --> 01:03:33,559
Speaker 7: Up and she just without a mic, you know, read

1337
01:03:33,599 --> 01:03:36,039
the credits and they each person she said you and

1338
01:03:36,199 --> 01:03:37,800
I really couldn't hear from where I was at, but

1339
01:03:37,880 --> 01:03:40,840
each person came up and like bowed and we clapped,

1340
01:03:40,920 --> 01:03:43,400
and so they finished it out that way and then

1341
01:03:43,559 --> 01:03:45,320
and then quickly ushered us out of the building.

1342
01:03:46,119 --> 01:03:47,599
Speaker 6: So that was kind of a bummer.

1343
01:03:48,159 --> 01:03:49,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was disappointed.

1344
01:03:49,199 --> 01:03:52,119
Speaker 4: But hopefully, hopefully people were at the event or even

1345
01:03:52,719 --> 01:03:54,119
we're at the event that didn't happen to'll be able

1346
01:03:54,159 --> 01:03:57,599
to catch from those moments later the podcast or yeah,

1347
01:03:57,760 --> 01:03:58,880
a full cut of.

1348
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:01,639
Speaker 2: It later, maybe we definitely want to. We mentioned the

1349
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,719
cast and Chris Anthony was amazing, actually all of them

1350
01:04:04,760 --> 01:04:08,039
were amazing. A couple of standouts real quickly was Katie

1351
01:04:08,119 --> 01:04:12,519
Lee's computer voice for the phone system that the characters

1352
01:04:12,639 --> 01:04:15,000
have to call into. And Katie's voice was that she

1353
01:04:15,119 --> 01:04:17,360
did a fantastic job with that. I really enjoyed here

1354
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:22,119
in her in that and we have Missus Randolph shows up,

1355
01:04:22,159 --> 01:04:25,000
so Chris gets to play that character. But we have

1356
01:04:25,119 --> 01:04:28,719
to say huge kudos to Marshall Younger, Kathy Buchanan and

1357
01:04:28,960 --> 01:04:31,800
Phil Aler for writing the script. And Dave told me

1358
01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:34,559
Dave Arnold told me that it was Marshall who sort

1359
01:04:34,599 --> 01:04:38,199
of orchestrated that whole thing, and of course Phil and

1360
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:40,440
Kathy were involved as well, but it was kind of

1361
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,639
Marshall who was guiding the ship there, and I thought

1362
01:04:43,679 --> 01:04:46,320
he did a really nice job. I really enjoyed it.

1363
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:49,119
It was fantastic to hear from all of these characters

1364
01:04:49,159 --> 01:04:51,159
and the way that it wraps up at the end,

1365
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:56,000
everybody's talk, all the characters are, Are they at wits end? Right? Yeah,

1366
01:04:56,039 --> 01:04:59,199
they're all at wits end? And they're Eugene and Wit

1367
01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:02,440
are together on a video call on a tablet and

1368
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:04,280
they said, well, we're going to get a picture with everybody,

1369
01:05:04,920 --> 01:05:06,800
and you know this is just you know, this is

1370
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,280
just happening in the dialogue. And then right when you

1371
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:12,280
hear the click of the shutter sound of the photo

1372
01:05:12,559 --> 01:05:14,639
up on the screen, comes up a piece of artwork

1373
01:05:14,679 --> 01:05:16,800
that I'm assuming Gary did and it has all the

1374
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:20,039
characters there showing Eugene and Wit on the iPad or whatever.

1375
01:05:20,039 --> 01:05:20,719
It was well.

1376
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, and the different character illustrations were the ones he

1377
01:05:23,519 --> 01:05:26,079
was doing during the show, like that was on the

1378
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:28,559
computer and right, So yeah, that was very cool.

1379
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:32,159
Speaker 2: And John playing parts of the theme live was really cool.

1380
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,559
Speaker 4: John Campbell in the transition music too, I think yeah, yeah,

1381
01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:38,199
and the sound the sound effects the Foley team too.

1382
01:05:38,280 --> 01:05:42,599
Speaker 3: I think there's like reveal lucnos Zack Schneider, And they had.

1383
01:05:42,480 --> 01:05:45,239
Speaker 7: A couple of good spotlight moments, like when they were

1384
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:49,880
having Somebody Run and Wilson knocks his narrating and he

1385
01:05:50,039 --> 01:05:52,679
ran and ran and ran, and then you know, you

1386
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:54,760
see the sound design guys up on stage and they're

1387
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:56,440
just running and running and running, and you know, they

1388
01:05:56,639 --> 01:05:58,400
had a couple of good humorous moments with that.

1389
01:05:58,800 --> 01:06:02,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, and the Fivverer McGee closets, Yes, I love that.

1390
01:06:03,159 --> 01:06:05,400
Speaker 2: Speaking of closets, I forgot to mention this earlier. There

1391
01:06:05,480 --> 01:06:08,079
was a little subtle reference to Chrissie's Closets if you

1392
01:06:08,119 --> 01:06:12,840
don't know, Yeah, Christy Anthony Lansdowne has a side business

1393
01:06:12,880 --> 01:06:15,320
where she helps people organize their homes and it's called

1394
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:18,960
Chrissie's Closets Fun And so her character mentioned something about

1395
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:22,599
helping somebody organize a closet and I did not know

1396
01:06:22,719 --> 01:06:24,159
that was the thing. That had to have been a

1397
01:06:24,199 --> 01:06:28,440
pill thing because he's close with them. So yeah, I

1398
01:06:28,519 --> 01:06:29,920
thought that was really cool, really cool.

1399
01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,159
Speaker 7: Yeah, and there was there were there any bloopers in

1400
01:06:32,199 --> 01:06:35,159
your show? There was There was one where Gregory Jabbara,

1401
01:06:35,280 --> 01:06:37,760
he was playing the other character which I can't remember

1402
01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:40,639
the name or or whatever then was, but he he

1403
01:06:40,760 --> 01:06:43,000
sneezed and it sounded like a fit with a character

1404
01:06:43,119 --> 01:06:43,719
and he goes.

1405
01:06:43,679 --> 01:06:44,199
Speaker 6: That was real.

1406
01:06:46,239 --> 01:06:49,679
Speaker 3: That was awesome. I think they messed up a tiny bit,

1407
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:50,960
but it wasn't like anything major.

1408
01:06:51,840 --> 01:06:54,519
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, we could talk a lot more about

1409
01:06:54,559 --> 01:06:57,440
this because it was just so amazing, but I think

1410
01:06:57,480 --> 01:07:00,400
we hit the highlights and huge thing. Thanks to the

1411
01:07:00,559 --> 01:07:01,480
entire Odyssey team.

1412
01:07:01,679 --> 01:07:02,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you.

1413
01:07:02,320 --> 01:07:05,000
Speaker 2: Think I said that before in this episode, but man,

1414
01:07:05,119 --> 01:07:08,679
they did a fantastic job focus on the family, Jim Daily.

1415
01:07:09,360 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 6: They just did an amazing, high quality event.

1416
01:07:12,199 --> 01:07:17,039
Speaker 7: Yeah, the show was high quality. The experience is high quality. Yeah,

1417
01:07:17,159 --> 01:07:19,519
thank you to everyone listening that played a.

1418
01:07:19,519 --> 01:07:19,880
Speaker 6: Part in that.

1419
01:07:20,119 --> 01:07:26,599
Speaker 2: Absolutely well. Thanks so much to Austin and Michael for

1420
01:07:26,679 --> 01:07:28,639
recording these with me. It was a lot of fun.

1421
01:07:28,719 --> 01:07:31,480
I hope you enjoyed it as well. Hope the less

1422
01:07:31,559 --> 01:07:35,599
than stellar audio quality didn't bug you too much. Did

1423
01:07:35,639 --> 01:07:37,199
a lot of clean up on them to try to

1424
01:07:37,239 --> 01:07:40,639
make them as listenable as possible, so I hope you

1425
01:07:40,719 --> 01:07:44,239
still enjoyed them. I know there is so much more

1426
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:47,400
that we could have said about this event, and I

1427
01:07:47,480 --> 01:07:49,880
will share some of my final thoughts when we get

1428
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:53,239
to the end of this episode, but for now, let's

1429
01:07:53,320 --> 01:07:55,039
bring in some guests.

1430
01:07:56,000 --> 01:08:02,480
Speaker 8: Well, ye really agree that you've.

1431
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:08,159
Speaker 5: Well.

1432
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:10,920
Speaker 2: After I had arrived home and was still sort of

1433
01:08:11,079 --> 01:08:14,519
just kind of processing the whole weekend and thinking about

1434
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:18,720
just the amazing time it was, I thought, you know what,

1435
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,239
this is the perfect opportunity to reach out to some

1436
01:08:21,359 --> 01:08:23,680
others in the community that many of you in the

1437
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:28,359
ATC community are familiar with, and let's invite them to

1438
01:08:29,039 --> 01:08:32,319
share some of their their highlights and some of their

1439
01:08:32,359 --> 01:08:36,640
favorite moments from this weekend and share them here with you.

1440
01:08:37,239 --> 01:08:39,920
So I reached out to several people, and I was

1441
01:08:40,000 --> 01:08:42,079
so happy that all of them agreed to record some

1442
01:08:42,199 --> 01:08:44,720
of their thoughts to share here on this special episode.

1443
01:08:45,239 --> 01:08:48,840
So let's jump into these recordings from some other creatives

1444
01:08:49,079 --> 01:08:52,520
and fans in the AIO community and We're going to

1445
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,720
start off with Cole Brumley, who is a member of

1446
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:59,000
the audio drama Alliance, a composer and a host of

1447
01:08:59,119 --> 01:09:01,520
the All Things That Interest in Odyssey podcast.

1448
01:09:02,359 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 13: Had the privilege of going to one grand party and

1449
01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:08,520
it was just about the best event I've been to

1450
01:09:08,800 --> 01:09:09,399
in my life.

1451
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:09,720
Speaker 4: You know.

1452
01:09:09,800 --> 01:09:12,119
Speaker 13: I was able to go to the cruise back in

1453
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:15,079
twenty seventeen, and that was really fun. This beat that

1454
01:09:15,239 --> 01:09:18,039
for me and maybe just because I'm more involved, but

1455
01:09:18,399 --> 01:09:21,119
getting for me the highlight. There were so many events

1456
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:23,920
and you know, I'll run through a few of them

1457
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,960
here in a second, but just being able to meet everyone,

1458
01:09:27,079 --> 01:09:31,359
the people, the creative forces behind Adventures in Odyssey, it

1459
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:34,199
was really fantastic. It was almost surreal, and just the

1460
01:09:34,319 --> 01:09:37,359
kindness and the way they would go out of their

1461
01:09:37,359 --> 01:09:40,159
way to make time to talk with you, to not

1462
01:09:40,399 --> 01:09:43,359
just talk with you, but like have conversations and be

1463
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:46,319
involved in what you had to say and bringing you

1464
01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:49,039
you know, for me, I got to while we were

1465
01:09:49,079 --> 01:09:52,880
down there a Friday, an episode came out called Painted

1466
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:55,079
into a Corner, written by Abigail Geiger, and I really

1467
01:09:55,199 --> 01:09:57,680
enjoyed that episode and like the day it came out,

1468
01:09:58,119 --> 01:10:00,520
I was able to talk to her about episode and

1469
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,000
here's some of our thinking behind and it just things

1470
01:10:03,159 --> 01:10:06,479
like that, so amazing, just the openness, and that's what

1471
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,279
really stood out to me. As for the events themselves,

1472
01:10:09,800 --> 01:10:12,680
they were fantastic. You know, the first night there was

1473
01:10:13,159 --> 01:10:15,239
sort of a dinner and we got to see the

1474
01:10:15,319 --> 01:10:17,720
actors get up there and perform all sorts of things,

1475
01:10:18,119 --> 01:10:22,039
but it just lets you their personalities were on full display,

1476
01:10:22,079 --> 01:10:23,319
and in some cases you got to see how they

1477
01:10:23,359 --> 01:10:25,600
were different from the characters. And in a lot of cases,

1478
01:10:26,119 --> 01:10:29,239
these actors are very similar to their characters because the

1479
01:10:29,319 --> 01:10:33,800
characters have been crafted in hones and inspired by these

1480
01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:37,680
actors in a lot of cases. So yeah, it was

1481
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,279
super cool to watch them interact, whether it be with

1482
01:10:41,039 --> 01:10:44,439
a script that a fan sent in or telling you know, stories,

1483
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:49,479
things like that. Just really amazing presentation. And then the

1484
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:51,560
next day with all of the different events, you really

1485
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,479
got to see inside the creative process, which for me,

1486
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:56,720
I know, there would be a lot of people talking

1487
01:10:56,760 --> 01:10:59,159
about a lot of the different facets of one grand party,

1488
01:10:59,199 --> 01:11:01,239
and I think it's probably you got out of it

1489
01:11:01,760 --> 01:11:04,159
what you wanted to get out. It was that sort

1490
01:11:04,159 --> 01:11:06,520
of event. So I'm really interested in that sort of thing,

1491
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:10,399
the creative process behind the making of Odyssey. So getting

1492
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,880
to hear the writers talk about their inspiration, the creators

1493
01:11:13,960 --> 01:11:17,640
talk about their inspiration, you know, watching John Campbell the composer,

1494
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:19,880
all of that interests me a lot. And that was

1495
01:11:19,960 --> 01:11:22,680
just on full display the entire time. And then finally

1496
01:11:22,840 --> 01:11:25,840
to close it out with one grand part, one grand show.

1497
01:11:26,039 --> 01:11:30,000
Sorry that the show was phenomenal. It was phenomenally done.

1498
01:11:30,520 --> 01:11:32,159
And going into it, you know, I didn't really know

1499
01:11:32,279 --> 01:11:34,359
what I wanted the show to be. I wasn't sure

1500
01:11:34,399 --> 01:11:37,880
what it would be obviously, but I mean, they knocked

1501
01:11:37,880 --> 01:11:39,800
it out of the park. There were so many callbacks

1502
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:42,520
to old episodes. I mean, you just could not ask

1503
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:46,119
for more. And that was the story of the entire experience.

1504
01:11:46,199 --> 01:11:49,479
So thank you Adventures in Odyssey. It was amazing.

1505
01:11:50,159 --> 01:11:53,159
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, it certainly was. It certainly was amazing. That's

1506
01:11:53,199 --> 01:11:55,359
one way to describe it. Thank you so much, Cole

1507
01:11:55,439 --> 01:12:00,520
really appreciate that well. Next up is Dan the audit fan.

1508
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,680
This fellow has been in the space for a very

1509
01:12:03,800 --> 01:12:07,880
very long time in this fan community, and odysseyfan dot

1510
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:12,159
com is well known. The world's largest collection of AIO

1511
01:12:12,319 --> 01:12:18,159
merchandise and memorabilia, multiple year sponsor of the ATC SINECA Awards,

1512
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:21,920
so I knew I had to reach out and get

1513
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:26,439
some thoughts from Dan. He is always involved in these

1514
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:28,800
events and so I knew I had to see if

1515
01:12:28,840 --> 01:12:29,880
we could get him on the show.

1516
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:34,399
Speaker 14: I attended the One Grand Party in Colora Springs August

1517
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:38,560
first through third, twenty twenty four, celebrating Adventures in Odyssey's

1518
01:12:38,640 --> 01:12:42,479
one thousandth episode. Well, my goal at these events is

1519
01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:46,399
typically just to buy all available merchandise and collect any

1520
01:12:46,439 --> 01:12:50,119
memorabilia we can. I did that, but we've been praying

1521
01:12:50,159 --> 01:12:51,920
as a family for months ahead of time that we

1522
01:12:52,039 --> 01:12:54,920
can be a blessing to people on our trip, and

1523
01:12:55,399 --> 01:12:58,840
my desire was to meet new fans. I spent a

1524
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:01,359
lot of time at the trading card tables and while

1525
01:13:01,399 --> 01:13:03,199
standing in lines, and we were able to talk to

1526
01:13:03,319 --> 01:13:07,479
other fans and meet up with some online friends in person. Finally,

1527
01:13:08,279 --> 01:13:11,840
two families, specifically one from Canada and one from California,

1528
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:15,039
were a delight to meet and talk with. We even

1529
01:13:15,079 --> 01:13:19,039
met up again on Sunday. The family from Canada and

1530
01:13:20,239 --> 01:13:23,039
I did part with some rare collectibles that were duplicates

1531
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:27,279
to other collectors, and as part of that trying to

1532
01:13:27,319 --> 01:13:30,159
be a blessing, we gave away about two hundred trading cards,

1533
01:13:30,520 --> 01:13:34,560
mainly to little kids that were trying to build their collection.

1534
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,199
One little boy got his mom to go to Walmart

1535
01:13:38,359 --> 01:13:42,399
to buy him a binder just for his cards. One

1536
01:13:42,479 --> 01:13:45,560
kid started with just five cards, and over the course

1537
01:13:45,600 --> 01:13:47,199
of the two days, he was able to trade his

1538
01:13:47,279 --> 01:13:51,319
way into almost forty cards in his collection, trading with

1539
01:13:51,399 --> 01:13:56,880
other fans, giving up duplicates and less rare cards for

1540
01:13:57,159 --> 01:14:01,319
the ones that the other people wanted. Enjoyed connecting with

1541
01:14:01,680 --> 01:14:05,119
the cast and crew briefly and finally meeting Robbie Bruce

1542
01:14:05,239 --> 01:14:09,359
and Greg Jabbara in person and getting their autographs. If

1543
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:11,840
you've never been to a live event, please plan to

1544
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:14,079
go to the next one. It's an experience you will

1545
01:14:14,159 --> 01:14:16,960
never forget. Thank you audio to You're central.

1546
01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:22,399
Speaker 2: Oh it's my pleasure, Dan, thank you, And he's absolutely right.

1547
01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:24,199
If you have the chance, if you're able to go

1548
01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:28,239
to any of these events, do yourself a favor and go.

1549
01:14:28,399 --> 01:14:32,479
You will not regret it. It's going to be a blast. Well.

1550
01:14:32,560 --> 01:14:35,359
Next up, I reached out to Rose Beasley. You may

1551
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:39,359
know her from Odyssey Moments or Hal's Diner her projects,

1552
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:42,479
which are both linked up in the show notes. But

1553
01:14:42,600 --> 01:14:46,000
if you don't know, Rose is also getting into voiceover,

1554
01:14:46,439 --> 01:14:49,840
and earlier this year she was a voice in one

1555
01:14:49,880 --> 01:14:53,439
of my micro audio dramas called Another Year Older, Another

1556
01:14:53,520 --> 01:14:56,319
Year Wiser, So if you haven't heard that, that is

1557
01:14:56,359 --> 01:14:58,159
also linked in the show notes, go check it out.

1558
01:14:58,319 --> 01:15:02,560
Rose was great and she's been such an instrumental part

1559
01:15:02,680 --> 01:15:04,960
of the AIO fan community for so long, and I

1560
01:15:05,039 --> 01:15:06,279
knew I had to reach out and see if she

1561
01:15:06,439 --> 01:15:09,079
was willing to record for us, and she was so

1562
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:10,520
Rose take it away.

1563
01:15:11,079 --> 01:15:15,439
Speaker 1: I'm so happy I got to attend the one Grand party.

1564
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:19,279
Oh my goodness. Now, I did come home a little

1565
01:15:19,359 --> 01:15:22,279
under the weather, so I probably sound a little rough

1566
01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:25,439
right now, but you know what, it was totally worth it.

1567
01:15:26,079 --> 01:15:28,840
So some key takeaways for me were the night at

1568
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:31,319
the Soda Shop. I'm so grateful I got tickets to

1569
01:15:31,399 --> 01:15:34,840
that because I really loved everything about that night. I

1570
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:36,960
loved that it was a limited number of people and

1571
01:15:37,039 --> 01:15:38,920
it was a more intimate, casual setting.

1572
01:15:39,560 --> 01:15:40,520
Speaker 2: We were really able to.

1573
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:43,960
Speaker 1: Interact with the fans and interact and talk with the crew,

1574
01:15:44,319 --> 01:15:46,359
and even with some of the cast as well, So

1575
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:49,800
I just overall I really liked that night. And then

1576
01:15:49,920 --> 01:15:53,199
of course the live show was spectacular. I loved everything

1577
01:15:53,239 --> 01:15:57,039
about that. But another really special thing for me was

1578
01:15:57,319 --> 01:16:00,000
seeing so many of you guys, not just one or two,

1579
01:16:00,319 --> 01:16:04,039
but so many of you guys wearing my merch, My

1580
01:16:04,279 --> 01:16:07,840
not Aio merch. I can't believe it. Just I had

1581
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:11,920
never seen anybody wear my merch before in person, so

1582
01:16:12,159 --> 01:16:15,600
being able and having the opportunity to see so many

1583
01:16:15,640 --> 01:16:18,239
of you guys wearing my merch and just you guys

1584
01:16:18,319 --> 01:16:21,079
were showing so much love for it, and it just

1585
01:16:21,239 --> 01:16:23,920
really made my day. I mean it made my whole

1586
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:26,760
year actually to see so many of you guys wearing

1587
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:28,840
my merch and just loving it. You guys have been

1588
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:31,880
so amazing. I just appreciate all the love and support

1589
01:16:31,960 --> 01:16:35,920
you guys have shown me, So just thank you. Another

1590
01:16:36,039 --> 01:16:39,840
special thing that I really loved was seeing the Barbershop Quartet.

1591
01:16:39,920 --> 01:16:44,159
They were singing around the event, singing Eugene Sings songs,

1592
01:16:44,520 --> 01:16:46,760
and I just thought that was so touching, so sweet,

1593
01:16:47,199 --> 01:16:50,359
and a nice little tribute to Will Ryan, because you know,

1594
01:16:50,479 --> 01:16:54,880
Will Ryan should have been there, But I so adored

1595
01:16:54,960 --> 01:16:59,560
hearing them sing Eugene sing songs and I'm so happy

1596
01:16:59,600 --> 01:17:01,720
that they were there. That was such a great idea

1597
01:17:01,960 --> 01:17:05,159
to have them there, so that was super fun. Another

1598
01:17:05,399 --> 01:17:10,119
little thing was meeting Chris Anthony Lansdowne. I had anticipated

1599
01:17:10,199 --> 01:17:11,920
meeting her all year. I'm so happy I got to

1600
01:17:12,039 --> 01:17:15,199
meet her, and because she's amazing and she's the sweetest,

1601
01:17:15,520 --> 01:17:18,119
so I love her. And then of course getting to

1602
01:17:18,199 --> 01:17:21,359
see Katie Lee and person again with her and I

1603
01:17:21,560 --> 01:17:23,760
kind of talk a lot, but it's not too often

1604
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:25,439
I get to see her in person, so that was

1605
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:29,920
super fun. And the most specialist thing was getting to

1606
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,560
see all of you guys and talk with you and

1607
01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:34,600
meet you for the first time, some of you for

1608
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:37,560
the first time from the Adventures in Odyssey fan club.

1609
01:17:37,960 --> 01:17:40,439
That was just that was the most specialist thing from

1610
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,279
the whole event, if if I can use that as

1611
01:17:43,279 --> 01:17:46,840
a word. It was just getting to meet and see

1612
01:17:46,960 --> 01:17:49,359
all of you guys. You know, that was I just

1613
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:51,680
I love the fan community so much. You guys mean

1614
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:54,399
a lot to me, and just seeing all your faces

1615
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:57,439
was just the best thing ever. So I'm gonna miss

1616
01:17:57,479 --> 01:17:59,279
you guys, but you know that just means we need

1617
01:17:59,359 --> 01:18:02,479
to do another So here's to the next one.

1618
01:18:03,399 --> 01:18:08,039
Speaker 2: Yes, Yes, here's to the next one. Thank you so much, Rose.

1619
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:09,560
Speaker 4: Well.

1620
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:12,079
Speaker 2: Next up is Daniel Roth. He is the host of

1621
01:18:12,199 --> 01:18:15,960
the Your Fellow Odyssean's podcast and admin and I believe

1622
01:18:16,159 --> 01:18:19,840
the founder of the AIO fan Club group on Facebook.

1623
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:24,039
This group has been huge in this space in the

1624
01:18:24,159 --> 01:18:27,000
last handful of years, well, especially since COVID, A lot

1625
01:18:27,039 --> 01:18:29,399
of people were online and trying to find other fans,

1626
01:18:30,039 --> 01:18:33,000
and Daniel has has really started to cultivate the fan

1627
01:18:33,119 --> 01:18:37,560
group in a really cool way. So Daniel, you're up.

1628
01:18:38,279 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 12: The one Grand party was phenomenal. The biggest highlight for

1629
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:45,159
me was not only attending the event with my sister,

1630
01:18:45,319 --> 01:18:48,279
but also having along my niece and nephew as well.

1631
01:18:48,800 --> 01:18:51,199
It was really special to have them there and getting

1632
01:18:51,239 --> 01:18:55,960
to experience this milestone celebration with them. Everyone except my

1633
01:18:56,119 --> 01:18:59,640
niece had visited Focus Slashwitzend before, but for all of

1634
01:18:59,760 --> 01:19:03,760
us this was our first Odyssey live show. A few

1635
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:07,880
other highlights, particularly from the experience Odyssey time was being

1636
01:19:07,920 --> 01:19:11,680
able to see a to scale imagination station there that

1637
01:19:11,760 --> 01:19:15,199
had all the beeps and whistles. That was pretty awesome

1638
01:19:15,239 --> 01:19:17,600
to see, but it was also really cool. Was meeting

1639
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:22,039
other fellow AIO podcasters and content creators for the first time,

1640
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,520
being able to finally meet and talk to Adventures in

1641
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:29,319
Odyssey fan club members in person, and even having a

1642
01:19:29,359 --> 01:19:32,359
few people that knew of or listen to my podcast

1643
01:19:32,479 --> 01:19:35,399
and would come up and say hi. That was pretty cool.

1644
01:19:36,319 --> 01:19:39,199
It was also really special to meet AIO cast and

1645
01:19:39,359 --> 01:19:42,560
crewe who I hadn't met yet, such as Dave Arnold,

1646
01:19:42,880 --> 01:19:47,000
Kathy Buchanan, Chris, Anthony Lansdowne, and Katie Lee, to name

1647
01:19:47,039 --> 01:19:50,760
a few, and being able to see others whom I'd

1648
01:19:50,840 --> 01:19:54,800
met before again and it was really special to watch

1649
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:58,199
my niece and nephew meet all these people who they

1650
01:19:58,359 --> 01:20:01,800
had only just heard on the show. In regard to

1651
01:20:01,840 --> 01:20:06,119
the one thousandth live show celebration, well, I didn't think

1652
01:20:06,119 --> 01:20:09,800
I would cry so much from the overture AIO theme

1653
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:14,159
intro played live by John Campbell to wits monologue at

1654
01:20:14,199 --> 01:20:17,840
the end, where I cried the most as I realized

1655
01:20:17,960 --> 01:20:21,359
how much this show has impacted my life and what

1656
01:20:21,479 --> 01:20:24,399
a blessing it has been not only my family's lives,

1657
01:20:24,439 --> 01:20:27,800
but also my siblings' families lives. Is they've introduced the

1658
01:20:27,880 --> 01:20:31,000
show to their kids like the two sitting there with me.

1659
01:20:32,359 --> 01:20:35,720
All in all, it was a very enriching and impactful

1660
01:20:35,840 --> 01:20:38,039
time that I won't soon forget.

1661
01:20:39,359 --> 01:20:42,239
Speaker 2: That's so cool. That is so cool getting to pass

1662
01:20:42,279 --> 01:20:45,079
down the show from generation to generation. I mean, I

1663
01:20:45,239 --> 01:20:45,520
love that.

1664
01:20:45,760 --> 01:20:46,119
Speaker 1: I love that.

1665
01:20:46,279 --> 01:20:48,479
Speaker 2: So glad you had such a great time, Daniel, and

1666
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,199
I agree with you there. I mean, I did not

1667
01:20:52,439 --> 01:20:56,000
expect to tear up as much as I did. There

1668
01:20:56,039 --> 01:20:59,359
were multiple times throughout that live show, and you know,

1669
01:20:59,439 --> 01:21:01,560
as we said earlier in the recaps, we're not going

1670
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:05,840
to give away any spoilers on that, but oh man,

1671
01:21:06,199 --> 01:21:09,399
it was. It was tear jerking at several different points,

1672
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:13,920
but in a beautiful, beautiful way. Thank you so much, Daniel.

1673
01:21:14,479 --> 01:21:14,640
Speaker 5: Well.

1674
01:21:14,680 --> 01:21:18,239
Speaker 2: Next up is David Hilder of The AIO Update and

1675
01:21:19,119 --> 01:21:21,119
this website, if you haven't checked it out, has been

1676
01:21:21,159 --> 01:21:24,479
around for a handful of years now, and David has

1677
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:29,000
been writing some really really great editorial pieces about the show,

1678
01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:34,239
tackling all sorts of different interesting issues and I just

1679
01:21:34,399 --> 01:21:39,199
love his enthusiasm for AIO and keeping that website going,

1680
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:43,680
and so I'm so glad that David agreed to join

1681
01:21:43,760 --> 01:21:44,960
us on this special episode.

1682
01:21:45,800 --> 01:21:50,279
Speaker 10: The One Grand Party was very exciting and also a

1683
01:21:50,359 --> 01:21:54,760
little overwhelming at times, just because I had never seen

1684
01:21:55,319 --> 01:21:58,760
so many Odyssey fans in real life. I had never

1685
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:01,720
seen ten of us in the same room before, so

1686
01:22:02,600 --> 01:22:07,079
this was six thousand fans a big change. And yeah,

1687
01:22:07,199 --> 01:22:10,039
this was my first event, Odyssey events, my first live show,

1688
01:22:10,960 --> 01:22:14,479
and it was very cool to see so many Odyssey

1689
01:22:14,560 --> 01:22:18,199
fans and to hear just hear random snippets of conversations,

1690
01:22:18,319 --> 01:22:22,760
somebody's talking about some obscure Odyssey character or reference, and

1691
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,720
it was just so fun to be in that environment

1692
01:22:26,800 --> 01:22:30,880
and to see all the excitement for Odyssey. And yeah,

1693
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:34,039
meeting the Odyssey cast and crew, that was definitely a highlight.

1694
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:38,319
And yeah, I learned something new just about them and

1695
01:22:38,840 --> 01:22:42,119
just how they're so down to earth and humble and

1696
01:22:42,880 --> 01:22:47,159
welcoming to all of us Odyssey fans, and that was

1697
01:22:47,279 --> 01:22:50,680
just so amazing, amazing to see. Like I went up

1698
01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:54,159
to Jonathan Crowe and I introduced myself and he was

1699
01:22:55,159 --> 01:22:57,840
surprised that I even knew who he was and what

1700
01:22:57,960 --> 01:23:00,760
he looked like, and that he had been a sound

1701
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:04,560
designer on Odyssey. And yeah, we had a great conversation

1702
01:23:04,960 --> 01:23:08,760
and he was very kind and just generous with his

1703
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:11,640
time as well, and that was I had the same

1704
01:23:11,720 --> 01:23:14,960
experience talking to all the different Odyssey cast and crew,

1705
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:17,520
and it was just it was super fun just to

1706
01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:20,079
see all of them, to talk to them, just to

1707
01:23:20,159 --> 01:23:23,520
see like Paul McCusker walking around, or Dave Arnold or

1708
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:26,640
Phil Lawler, who was a lot nicer in real life

1709
01:23:26,680 --> 01:23:30,800
by the way, and then just meeting the fans, I

1710
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:35,520
think was an amazing thing, just the friends that I

1711
01:23:35,840 --> 01:23:39,479
had only known online previously, and it was just so

1712
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:44,359
meaningful to be together and just you know, experiencing the

1713
01:23:44,439 --> 01:23:48,319
live show together, reacting to it in real time, and

1714
01:23:48,520 --> 01:23:51,159
just going to all the all the events, or as

1715
01:23:51,239 --> 01:23:53,479
many events as I could manage.

1716
01:23:53,199 --> 01:23:53,640
Speaker 2: In the time.

1717
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 10: And yeah, I wish we did have more time together.

1718
01:23:58,359 --> 01:24:01,720
And it felt like it went by super fast. There

1719
01:24:01,760 --> 01:24:05,079
were so many things happening all the time, and I

1720
01:24:05,159 --> 01:24:09,960
could have easily felt alone in that big crowd, except

1721
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:11,720
for the fact that I kept seeing people that I

1722
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:17,039
knew from online, and even though I had traveled there

1723
01:24:17,159 --> 01:24:21,119
by myself, I wasn't alone when I got there, just

1724
01:24:21,199 --> 01:24:24,720
because of all of you. So I'm so grateful for

1725
01:24:24,800 --> 01:24:29,159
the experience, and I'm grateful for Odyssey that we were

1726
01:24:29,199 --> 01:24:31,239
able to experience this together.

1727
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:32,119
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1728
01:24:32,439 --> 01:24:38,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, and David was one of quite a few I heard,

1729
01:24:38,279 --> 01:24:42,359
but you know, most people are from the United States

1730
01:24:42,399 --> 01:24:44,520
who come to these sorts of events, but he was

1731
01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:47,760
one of a handful that came all the way from Canada.

1732
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:50,960
So it was so cool to meet David in person,

1733
01:24:51,479 --> 01:24:55,479
having followed his website for quite some time now, and

1734
01:24:56,319 --> 01:24:58,760
so yeah, that was pretty cool. So thank you David

1735
01:24:58,800 --> 01:25:01,399
for sharing your thoughts there. And I got to ask, like,

1736
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:04,279
when did you run into Jonathan Crow when he wasn't working?

1737
01:25:05,119 --> 01:25:07,840
Every single time I saw him on Friday, he was

1738
01:25:07,960 --> 01:25:11,720
busy interviewing somebody and I just never had a chance

1739
01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:14,439
to speak to him at all. But that dude was

1740
01:25:14,520 --> 01:25:17,880
busy the entire time, it seemed like. But yeah, everybody

1741
01:25:18,239 --> 01:25:22,600
was so friendly and nice and it's such a pleasure

1742
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:24,880
to get to interact with some of these folks that

1743
01:25:25,279 --> 01:25:29,760
we've admired their work for so many years. And yeah,

1744
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:33,439
it was such a great time. Well, we're going to

1745
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:39,560
wrap up this guest contributor section with is it right

1746
01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:43,239
to say the og I don't know. Jacob Isam has

1747
01:25:43,600 --> 01:25:46,640
ran the Odyssey Scoop for a very very long time.

1748
01:25:47,039 --> 01:25:50,600
I don't know if he was the original fan website.

1749
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:53,479
I know there's been some forums. I never really got

1750
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:56,760
into those all that much, but the Town of Odyssey

1751
01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:58,720
and some of the other forums have been around for

1752
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:01,079
years and years and years. But I know the Odyssey

1753
01:26:01,119 --> 01:26:03,880
scoop has been around for a long long time. And

1754
01:26:04,399 --> 01:26:06,159
it was so great that Jacob got to be there

1755
01:26:06,199 --> 01:26:07,640
and that we got to meet in person for the

1756
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:10,399
very first time. So I knew that I had to

1757
01:26:10,439 --> 01:26:12,920
see if he was willing to be involved in this episode.

1758
01:26:12,960 --> 01:26:14,720
So let's see what Jacob has to say.

1759
01:26:15,680 --> 01:26:18,680
Speaker 15: I had the exciting privilege of attending one Grand Party

1760
01:26:18,880 --> 01:26:22,279
all three events. So it started out with the wonderful

1761
01:26:22,359 --> 01:26:25,439
dinner that was put on by the Odyssey team. The

1762
01:26:25,560 --> 01:26:28,239
creators were there and some of the actors and some

1763
01:26:28,399 --> 01:26:31,600
of the sound designers, even Bob from the official podcast.

1764
01:26:32,079 --> 01:26:33,680
It was just great to be there in a small

1765
01:26:33,760 --> 01:26:36,159
setting where we were able to kind of talk with

1766
01:26:36,319 --> 01:26:40,239
some of those folks and enjoy kind of the kickoff

1767
01:26:40,319 --> 01:26:42,399
of one Grand Party. So it was a really, really,

1768
01:26:43,039 --> 01:26:45,760
really well put together event. It was nice to also

1769
01:26:45,800 --> 01:26:47,960
see the displays, and then at the very end of

1770
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:51,199
the event, they called each family out individually did to

1771
01:26:51,279 --> 01:26:53,119
get a photo taken with the actors, and that was

1772
01:26:53,199 --> 01:26:56,560
really really special. The next day was Friday, which was

1773
01:26:56,640 --> 01:27:01,760
the actual Experience Odyssey event, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I

1774
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:05,399
was able to go to the several demonstrations, so I

1775
01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:08,880
went to the Gary Locke demonstration where he was illustrating

1776
01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:11,239
how to draw wit. I learned a bit about like

1777
01:27:11,359 --> 01:27:15,079
how to you know, the ears can be complicated. Surprisingly,

1778
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:18,520
ears can be difficult to draw. And then one of

1779
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:21,439
my favorites was the writer's Q and A where Kathy

1780
01:27:21,560 --> 01:27:25,640
Buchanan and some of the additional writers were there and

1781
01:27:25,680 --> 01:27:28,399
they were just sharing some of their humor and behind

1782
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:32,399
the scenes and what goes into the writing process. Abigail Geiger,

1783
01:27:32,640 --> 01:27:36,960
Marshall Younger, and a couple other folks. It was just

1784
01:27:37,079 --> 01:27:40,000
really really great. There were other you know, there was

1785
01:27:40,079 --> 01:27:42,119
so much to see at this event. It was hard

1786
01:27:42,159 --> 01:27:43,920
to keep up, so you had to think fast and

1787
01:27:44,039 --> 01:27:47,399
move around quickly. There were so many displays to see,

1788
01:27:47,479 --> 01:27:51,760
like the Imagination Station, the club members Lounge, even the

1789
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:55,199
attention to detail that was put into this event, from

1790
01:27:55,279 --> 01:27:59,520
the little store shops like Triple j Antiques, Electric Palace,

1791
01:27:59,720 --> 01:28:02,079
even down to the very sign itself and then just

1792
01:28:02,199 --> 01:28:05,479
the hidden Easter eggs that were kind of hidden throughout

1793
01:28:05,680 --> 01:28:08,720
the event. It was just an amazing experience. There were

1794
01:28:08,800 --> 01:28:11,520
things for all ages there, even like going to Wits

1795
01:28:11,600 --> 01:28:13,880
End to visit that, but there was just so much

1796
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:16,319
to do. It was literally like an Adventures in Odyssey

1797
01:28:16,920 --> 01:28:20,279
comic con. It was really really good. And then the

1798
01:28:20,399 --> 01:28:23,239
event closed out with the live show on Saturday, which

1799
01:28:23,359 --> 01:28:26,479
was an amazing experience. I was able to go to

1800
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:31,800
the morning show where they performed a wonderful, polished script

1801
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:35,039
for a live performance. It was so great to just

1802
01:28:35,119 --> 01:28:37,920
see the actors. I think my favorite part above the

1803
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:41,359
performance was just the heart for Odyssey, the heart of

1804
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:44,680
love that was there shared by everybody at this event,

1805
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:47,359
even just all three days. Just the common love for

1806
01:28:47,439 --> 01:28:49,520
Adventures and Odyssey in the Lord. It was just really

1807
01:28:49,560 --> 01:28:52,479
good to see that. My favorite part of all was

1808
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:57,159
probably just the fan community in general, just being able

1809
01:28:57,239 --> 01:28:59,279
to be with those folks, meet some of those folks,

1810
01:28:59,319 --> 01:29:01,880
and meet some of this staff. So I thoroughly enjoyed it.

1811
01:29:02,159 --> 01:29:05,680
Highly recommend you attend the two thousandth episode a grand Party.

1812
01:29:05,840 --> 01:29:07,720
Not sure what they'll call that, but I'm sure they'll

1813
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:08,479
have a great name.

1814
01:29:09,920 --> 01:29:12,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if we'll still be around that

1815
01:29:13,039 --> 01:29:15,680
far into the future. I know Nathan Hubler was talking

1816
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:18,760
about that after the show on Saturday, saying, yeah, we're

1817
01:29:18,760 --> 01:29:22,399
already looking forward to the next one, and yeah, that's

1818
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:26,039
going to be quite a ways away. But in any case,

1819
01:29:26,439 --> 01:29:28,920
thank you Jacob for sharing your thoughts on this, and

1820
01:29:29,119 --> 01:29:31,279
huge thanks to all of these great folks for taking

1821
01:29:31,319 --> 01:29:35,720
time to record some of their highlights and special memories

1822
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:39,840
from this weekend. It was fantastic, as you heard, witnessed

1823
01:29:39,880 --> 01:29:42,279
by all of these fine folks, and again, links to

1824
01:29:42,399 --> 01:29:44,279
all of them are in the show notes. Go check

1825
01:29:44,319 --> 01:29:47,079
out what they're doing in this space and be sure

1826
01:29:47,119 --> 01:29:50,920
to send them some love and thanks again. Cole, Dan Rose,

1827
01:29:51,079 --> 01:29:53,000
Daniel David and Jacob.

1828
01:30:00,159 --> 01:30:05,720
Speaker 9: Friends. Nait right down, it's lazy.

1829
01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:10,359
Speaker 2: Well, I just wanted to share a few final thoughts

1830
01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:14,479
with you on this event before I head out the door.

1831
01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:17,720
First of all, it has been said numerous times, but

1832
01:30:17,920 --> 01:30:21,720
it was amazing. It was a fantastic event. It was

1833
01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:25,039
a once in a lifetime sort of thing. I mean,

1834
01:30:25,199 --> 01:30:27,159
there's not going to be another time that the show

1835
01:30:27,239 --> 01:30:32,560
hits a thousand episodes, so this was a celebration that

1836
01:30:32,760 --> 01:30:38,079
will never happen again quite like this, and so that

1837
01:30:38,199 --> 01:30:40,159
I was able to be there and witness it was

1838
01:30:40,359 --> 01:30:45,399
such a privilege and I am so so grateful. To

1839
01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:50,119
be perfectly candid, I was not feeling well and it

1840
01:30:50,359 --> 01:30:53,920
was a very very tough weekend on me physically and mentally,

1841
01:30:54,880 --> 01:30:59,159
but I am so so grateful that I was able

1842
01:30:59,199 --> 01:31:03,119
to be there and experience it with with all all

1843
01:31:03,199 --> 01:31:06,920
of you folks that have appeared on this episode and

1844
01:31:07,319 --> 01:31:10,840
those of you who are listening who were there at

1845
01:31:10,880 --> 01:31:13,840
the event as well, And just to wrap up, I

1846
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:15,880
wanted to share a couple of things that I don't

1847
01:31:15,880 --> 01:31:19,760
think we covered earlier, and one was I don't remember

1848
01:31:19,800 --> 01:31:22,640
if anybody has mentioned this or not, but at the

1849
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:26,119
live show on Saturday, I was sitting not too far

1850
01:31:26,319 --> 01:31:32,039
from a couple of ASL interpreters and they were amazing,

1851
01:31:32,239 --> 01:31:35,720
Like I kept getting distracted by watching them how they

1852
01:31:35,840 --> 01:31:39,760
were doing the different characters as the show was progressing,

1853
01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:42,199
and they would there was two of them. They would

1854
01:31:42,439 --> 01:31:46,319
they were both taking turns with each different character as

1855
01:31:46,359 --> 01:31:48,840
they were speaking their lines, and they would try to

1856
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:54,199
match the physical sound of what the characters might be

1857
01:31:54,319 --> 01:31:57,840
doing in that scene by their facial expressions even though

1858
01:31:57,840 --> 01:32:00,800
they couldn't see at least not or my perspective. Maybe

1859
01:32:00,840 --> 01:32:02,560
they had a screen that they could see as well,

1860
01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:05,920
but it looked like they were just listening as I was,

1861
01:32:06,119 --> 01:32:09,680
and then then interpreting for the deaf and heart of

1862
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:13,439
hearing folks there. But they were just getting so into it,

1863
01:32:13,840 --> 01:32:16,439
and I just found it so fascinating. And I watched

1864
01:32:16,479 --> 01:32:19,640
how because they also mouthed the words as well, and

1865
01:32:20,640 --> 01:32:23,239
I saw how they would make slight adjustments on the

1866
01:32:23,319 --> 01:32:27,039
fly to maybe some of the words that are not

1867
01:32:27,800 --> 01:32:30,119
I don't know American sign language, so I don't know

1868
01:32:30,119 --> 01:32:33,720
if it's that they're not translatable directly, or if it's

1869
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:37,199
just quicker to substitute in a more common word or

1870
01:32:37,239 --> 01:32:41,119
something like that. But watching them do that was so cool,

1871
01:32:41,279 --> 01:32:44,000
and you know, somebody who's used to that kind of stuff,

1872
01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:48,119
it was probably what normally happens. But I've never seen

1873
01:32:48,159 --> 01:32:49,960
that before. I mean, I've seen people. I have a

1874
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:53,840
deaf cousin and so I've seen people signing, and I

1875
01:32:54,079 --> 01:32:56,960
used to know a little bit of it myself. But anyway,

1876
01:32:57,039 --> 01:32:59,239
this has nothing to do with Adventures, not Asy specifically,

1877
01:32:59,279 --> 01:33:00,600
but it was one one of the things that I

1878
01:33:00,640 --> 01:33:02,960
saw at the event that I thought was so cool.

1879
01:33:03,560 --> 01:33:07,279
So yeah, it was just very very interesting and again

1880
01:33:07,520 --> 01:33:10,239
not related to the show necessarily, but I thought that

1881
01:33:10,359 --> 01:33:13,800
was cool that they provided that for folks, and those

1882
01:33:13,840 --> 01:33:17,239
two ladies were amazing. Now, I mentioned earlier that I

1883
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:19,960
ran into Grayson Smith, the Getting the Show winner from

1884
01:33:20,039 --> 01:33:23,239
twenty seventeen, but he was at the night at the

1885
01:33:23,279 --> 01:33:26,199
Soda Shop even though I wasn't there. In my conversation

1886
01:33:26,319 --> 01:33:27,880
with him the next day, I found out that he

1887
01:33:28,079 --> 01:33:31,079
played piano at that event, So I thought that was

1888
01:33:31,199 --> 01:33:34,119
really cool. He's a pianist, and not long ago there

1889
01:33:34,239 --> 01:33:38,000
was a family in the fan club who ran into

1890
01:33:38,159 --> 01:33:42,159
him playing piano, and so that was cool that he

1891
01:33:42,319 --> 01:33:45,079
was able to bring that skill in addition to being

1892
01:33:45,119 --> 01:33:49,079
an actor, bring that skill into Adventures and Odyssey for

1893
01:33:49,119 --> 01:33:52,640
this event. So that was pretty neat. And another thing

1894
01:33:52,680 --> 01:33:56,520
I wanted to mention is AIO fan and illustrator, Noah Cecil,

1895
01:33:56,560 --> 01:33:59,119
who I actually met at the last Sonicon. He was

1896
01:33:59,199 --> 01:34:03,279
also at this event and he got to participate in

1897
01:34:03,800 --> 01:34:06,399
an event. I don't know exactly if it was where

1898
01:34:06,439 --> 01:34:08,720
it was it was on Thursday night at the night

1899
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:11,199
of the Soda Shop, or if it was sometime during

1900
01:34:11,279 --> 01:34:16,039
the day at the Experience Odyssey event, but he won

1901
01:34:16,199 --> 01:34:19,479
an original art print from Gary Locke, the illustrator for

1902
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:23,119
Aio these Days, and it was so cool. He let

1903
01:34:23,159 --> 01:34:25,800
me take a photo of it, of him holding it,

1904
01:34:26,239 --> 01:34:30,479
and it's autographed by Gary and it's really really cool.

1905
01:34:30,880 --> 01:34:33,560
So that is like a once in a lifetime thing

1906
01:34:33,640 --> 01:34:38,399
that is a treasured piece of memorabilia. So that's pretty cool,

1907
01:34:38,680 --> 01:34:42,359
one of a kind. So congrats to Noah for winning that.

1908
01:34:44,560 --> 01:34:47,880
And I definitely alluded to this in our recap recordings.

1909
01:34:48,000 --> 01:34:53,720
But getting to see Katie and Chris. I course met

1910
01:34:53,880 --> 01:34:58,119
Katie numerous times and it's always a joy to see

1911
01:34:58,159 --> 01:35:01,760
her again. But I did not have any access to

1912
01:35:02,159 --> 01:35:07,000
the autograph sessions with the cast, and I wasn't at

1913
01:35:07,720 --> 01:35:10,279
the dinner, so I didn't think I was going to

1914
01:35:10,319 --> 01:35:12,880
get to see any of them at all other than

1915
01:35:13,279 --> 01:35:18,680
on stage. I hadn't met Gregory Jabbara, Robbie Bruce, Townsend Coleman,

1916
01:35:19,079 --> 01:35:22,520
or Chris Anthony Lansdown in person, though I've communicated with

1917
01:35:22,600 --> 01:35:25,399
several of them over the years, and of course Chris

1918
01:35:25,479 --> 01:35:28,680
has been on the show and was our speaker at

1919
01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:31,600
the Seneca Awards so I was really really hoping to

1920
01:35:31,840 --> 01:35:35,600
meet them, and especially her, And this happened with both

1921
01:35:35,680 --> 01:35:38,680
Chris and Katie. As I was crossing the parking lot.

1922
01:35:38,840 --> 01:35:41,279
It just happened to be at the same time as

1923
01:35:41,359 --> 01:35:44,600
both of them at different times of the day on Friday,

1924
01:35:45,399 --> 01:35:48,399
and so I got to see both of them in person. Unfortunately,

1925
01:35:48,560 --> 01:35:51,319
they were such brief interactions. We didn't get to take

1926
01:35:51,359 --> 01:35:53,800
a photo with either of them. But I was so

1927
01:35:54,079 --> 01:35:57,479
so happy, and Chris was such a sweetheart as I

1928
01:35:57,600 --> 01:36:00,359
knew she would be. And so if you're listening, Chris,

1929
01:36:00,600 --> 01:36:04,119
thank you so much for being such a joy. It

1930
01:36:04,279 --> 01:36:07,479
was such an absolute pleasure for me to get to

1931
01:36:07,560 --> 01:36:11,399
meet her, and so yeah, that was amazing. But then,

1932
01:36:12,239 --> 01:36:15,399
speaking of meeting the cast, as I'm heading back home

1933
01:36:15,600 --> 01:36:20,199
on Sunday, I'm at the airport and getting ready to

1934
01:36:20,279 --> 01:36:24,359
head through security, and I look out the window and

1935
01:36:24,520 --> 01:36:27,159
there's a van that just pulled up, and out of

1936
01:36:27,239 --> 01:36:30,319
this van hops Townsend, Coleman and Robbie Bruce and I

1937
01:36:30,479 --> 01:36:34,319
was like, no way. I was hoping I could meet them,

1938
01:36:34,520 --> 01:36:40,479
and I had a fanboy moment and I ran, I

1939
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:45,600
didn't run, No, that's not true. I went out the

1940
01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:50,239
door of the airport really quickly and waited for them

1941
01:36:50,279 --> 01:36:52,520
to get out of their van at least, and then

1942
01:36:52,560 --> 01:36:54,560
I went up and introduced myself to both of them.

1943
01:36:55,520 --> 01:36:57,960
I was like, Man, if I was thinking about it later,

1944
01:36:58,000 --> 01:37:00,479
I'm like, Oh, they probably think I'm this weird way

1945
01:37:00,680 --> 01:37:03,640
just showing up as they're just trying to get into

1946
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:06,399
the airport. It's not fun going through security and all

1947
01:37:06,479 --> 01:37:10,079
of that rigmarole to fly, and I felt bad for

1948
01:37:10,279 --> 01:37:12,560
bothering them a little bit, but I was like, I

1949
01:37:12,720 --> 01:37:16,600
cannot pass up this opportunity. So I got to meet

1950
01:37:16,640 --> 01:37:21,119
both of them, shake their hands, and chat very very

1951
01:37:21,159 --> 01:37:25,920
briefly with Townsend, but they were both delightful and it

1952
01:37:26,079 --> 01:37:28,640
was sut It made my day to get to actually

1953
01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:30,720
meet them, because I, you know, I'm heading out of town.

1954
01:37:30,760 --> 01:37:33,520
I thought it wasn't gonna happen, and so that was

1955
01:37:33,680 --> 01:37:37,800
really really cool for me. And then as I've passed

1956
01:37:37,840 --> 01:37:40,760
through security heading down to my gate, and I run

1957
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:43,800
into Noah Cecil again, So that was kind of cool

1958
01:37:44,159 --> 01:37:47,239
as well. So you never know when you're flying out

1959
01:37:47,279 --> 01:37:50,439
of a small airport in a smaller city after a

1960
01:37:50,520 --> 01:37:53,000
big event like that, you might just run into folks again.

1961
01:37:55,239 --> 01:37:59,079
Now I had taken a photo of the live show

1962
01:37:59,640 --> 01:38:02,760
during a part where they were doing the candid conversations

1963
01:38:02,800 --> 01:38:05,920
with Connie broadcast and during most of the show, the

1964
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:09,920
actors are all sitting in there. They're all sitting in

1965
01:38:10,039 --> 01:38:12,439
a row in front of their stands with their scripts

1966
01:38:12,479 --> 01:38:15,119
on them and things like that, and they have those

1967
01:38:15,920 --> 01:38:19,000
high sort of directors looking chairs and they were sitting

1968
01:38:19,039 --> 01:38:21,800
on those. But for this particular part of the script,

1969
01:38:22,279 --> 01:38:25,159
they set up a separate area a table with an

1970
01:38:25,279 --> 01:38:28,479
on air light and some microphones which looks like a

1971
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:32,960
radio station. And so Katie, of course, the voice of Connie,

1972
01:38:33,399 --> 01:38:37,119
and Robbie Bruce, the voice of Buck, were sitting at

1973
01:38:37,199 --> 01:38:38,960
that table, and so I snapped a photo of that

1974
01:38:39,800 --> 01:38:43,600
and I posted it on ATC Socials. Well, come to

1975
01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:47,399
find out, that photo ended up getting shared around, and

1976
01:38:48,359 --> 01:38:50,920
I saw that Marshall Younger had ended up sharing it,

1977
01:38:51,079 --> 01:38:53,960
and then it was included in a post inside the

1978
01:38:54,000 --> 01:38:59,439
AIO Club. So you're welcome, adventures not to see. I'm

1979
01:38:59,479 --> 01:39:01,800
totally kidd I don't mind at all. I thought it

1980
01:39:01,880 --> 01:39:04,439
was pretty cool, but it was really neat how that

1981
01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,920
photo started making the rounds inside some of the groups

1982
01:39:07,960 --> 01:39:10,920
and things like that. So that was pretty cool. And

1983
01:39:11,079 --> 01:39:13,760
speaking of photos, there is a link in the show

1984
01:39:13,800 --> 01:39:17,680
notes to an entire album of event photos from all

1985
01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:20,319
three days, so you definitely want to check that out.

1986
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:23,880
Pretty cool thanks to some of the ADA members who

1987
01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:28,039
helped contribute images for that album. And speaking of the ADA,

1988
01:39:28,119 --> 01:39:30,920
the Audio Drama Alliance we had to have dinner together

1989
01:39:31,119 --> 01:39:34,840
on Friday night and Saturday night. It was a great,

1990
01:39:34,920 --> 01:39:39,680
great time with them. Nato Jacobson and Mackenzie Harris, both

1991
01:39:39,880 --> 01:39:43,640
great talent in this space, were there and they joined

1992
01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:47,640
us for dinner on Friday night, and then both of

1993
01:39:47,720 --> 01:39:51,159
them and John Fornoff and Kenny Sargent of Sergeant Family

1994
01:39:51,199 --> 01:39:55,720
Productions joined us on Saturday night. So, you know, the

1995
01:39:56,039 --> 01:39:58,800
event itself was amazing getting to meet other folks in

1996
01:39:58,880 --> 01:40:02,680
the community, but some of the highlights for me personally

1997
01:40:02,800 --> 01:40:05,800
were those dinners with the Audio Drama Alliance members and

1998
01:40:06,079 --> 01:40:10,520
John and Nato and Kinsey and Kenny. Some great conversations

1999
01:40:10,560 --> 01:40:15,199
happened at those dinners. And there's some exciting stuff coming

2000
01:40:15,319 --> 01:40:19,239
in this space, not necessarily Odyssey related, but just some

2001
01:40:19,359 --> 01:40:22,199
more family friendly audio drama content that's going to be

2002
01:40:22,239 --> 01:40:26,000
coming that I'm really excited about. So getting to visit

2003
01:40:26,079 --> 01:40:29,720
with those folks was just a joy for me, and

2004
01:40:30,159 --> 01:40:33,520
they were all so so friendly and personable, and it's

2005
01:40:33,600 --> 01:40:39,239
always wonderful to get to visit with those folks. And lastly,

2006
01:40:39,439 --> 01:40:43,319
I got to say a huge, a massive thank you

2007
01:40:43,479 --> 01:40:46,159
to Austin Peachey for all of his help. He was

2008
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:51,359
hugely instrumental in everything that I was able to get

2009
01:40:51,359 --> 01:40:56,000
accomplished that weekend and just in me even being able

2010
01:40:56,079 --> 01:41:07,560
to be there. So Austin, thank you so much, which

2011
01:41:08,079 --> 01:41:08,640
really agreed.

2012
01:41:09,039 --> 01:41:12,880
Speaker 9: Hi they parted, my Greg, bubb.

2013
01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:26,000
Speaker 2: You Well. The last thing I want to do in

2014
01:41:26,079 --> 01:41:28,000
this episode is share some things that you have to

2015
01:41:28,119 --> 01:41:31,720
look forward to related to adventures, not to see the

2016
01:41:31,800 --> 01:41:35,199
one thousand episode all of that. But first I want

2017
01:41:35,279 --> 01:41:38,399
to tell you that the transition music in this episode

2018
01:41:38,560 --> 01:41:40,840
was that barbershop quartet that's been mentioned a couple of

2019
01:41:40,880 --> 01:41:43,800
different times. They were all singers in other groups, but

2020
01:41:43,960 --> 01:41:47,079
they got together just for the OGP event and they

2021
01:41:47,119 --> 01:41:51,520
called themselves the Caliphonics, and they just did an amazing job.

2022
01:41:52,279 --> 01:41:55,039
Loved love getting to see them and hear them singing

2023
01:41:55,239 --> 01:41:59,760
around the campus on Friday. It was just really really cool.

2024
01:41:59,760 --> 01:42:03,159
They amazing and huge thanks to Aio fan club member

2025
01:42:03,239 --> 01:42:06,199
Pete Fernbaugh for sharing his recordings of the group and

2026
01:42:06,359 --> 01:42:09,119
letting me use them here in this episode. Thank you, Pete.

2027
01:42:10,359 --> 01:42:12,359
So we talked about this in one of the recaps

2028
01:42:12,439 --> 01:42:16,359
that the recording of the live show. As far as

2029
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:19,560
I know, there are no plans to remake that episode

2030
01:42:19,600 --> 01:42:22,640
and actually put it out as a standard episode for

2031
01:42:22,880 --> 01:42:27,279
the show. However, the recording of that live show is

2032
01:42:27,439 --> 01:42:29,880
going to be on the club for members. We did

2033
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:33,399
find that out, so that is really exciting. So if

2034
01:42:33,479 --> 01:42:35,399
you are an AIO club member, you will get to

2035
01:42:35,479 --> 01:42:39,279
experience that show, and then highlights from throughout the weekend

2036
01:42:39,520 --> 01:42:42,800
will be appearing on the official Adventures of Odyssey podcast.

2037
01:42:43,039 --> 01:42:45,079
From what I understand, I think I got that from

2038
01:42:45,159 --> 01:42:48,760
Nathan Hubler. I'm not one hundred percent sure, so don't

2039
01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:51,000
quote me on that, but I'm pretty sure that he

2040
01:42:51,159 --> 01:42:53,600
was the one who told me that. So more content

2041
01:42:53,720 --> 01:42:56,920
from this amazing weekend will still be coming and that

2042
01:42:57,079 --> 01:42:59,760
is something to look forward to now. Also, there was

2043
01:42:59,800 --> 01:43:01,960
a survey that they sent out to all of the

2044
01:43:02,039 --> 01:43:06,039
attendees and they asked in that survey what people thought

2045
01:43:06,079 --> 01:43:11,840
about the potentiality of a touring thousandth episode celebration, And

2046
01:43:12,800 --> 01:43:16,439
I'm not sure what everybody else responded, but I for

2047
01:43:16,600 --> 01:43:20,000
one said a big yes, I would definitely attend to

2048
01:43:20,039 --> 01:43:22,479
one of those if it was in my area. If

2049
01:43:22,520 --> 01:43:24,840
they came to Phoenix, I would be there for sure.

2050
01:43:25,000 --> 01:43:28,520
So they are thinking about ways to take this experience

2051
01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:32,680
in probably a much more scaled down version around the

2052
01:43:32,720 --> 01:43:35,720
country in some way so more people get to experience it.

2053
01:43:36,239 --> 01:43:39,680
So that is something to look forward to. And I mean,

2054
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:42,359
I'm sure it probably can't hurt that if you think

2055
01:43:42,439 --> 01:43:45,000
that's something that you would like to attend, if they

2056
01:43:45,039 --> 01:43:47,720
came to your area, you might want to reach out

2057
01:43:47,720 --> 01:43:50,319
to Focus and just let them know, Hey, I heard

2058
01:43:50,319 --> 01:43:53,399
that you're considering doing this, Please bring it to my area.

2059
01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:56,359
So if they hear from enough people, who knows, maybe

2060
01:43:56,359 --> 01:43:59,800
it will happen. And speaking of that, if you are

2061
01:44:00,079 --> 01:44:03,760
in the Holland, Michigan area, you're probably familiar with the

2062
01:44:03,840 --> 01:44:06,399
Family Central Bookstore there, which is a focus on the

2063
01:44:06,439 --> 01:44:10,560
family owned bookstore and they often have AIO related events.

2064
01:44:11,199 --> 01:44:13,279
Many of the AIOL cast and crew have been there

2065
01:44:13,319 --> 01:44:15,920
at previous events, but they are going to be hosting

2066
01:44:16,119 --> 01:44:20,680
a thousandth episode celebration at their store in Holland, Michigan

2067
01:44:20,800 --> 01:44:24,239
on Saturday, September twenty eighth, from two to five pm.

2068
01:44:24,840 --> 01:44:27,399
Katie Lee is going to be there voice of Connie Kendall,

2069
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:31,039
and they're going to have frozen custard, They're going to

2070
01:44:31,119 --> 01:44:34,479
have pizza, they're going to have the Odyssey characters, the

2071
01:44:34,600 --> 01:44:37,640
costume characters are going to be there, They're going to

2072
01:44:37,720 --> 01:44:40,279
have some activities for the kids, a whole lot more.

2073
01:44:40,399 --> 01:44:43,279
And this is a free event, so if you are

2074
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:47,079
in the area of the Family Central Bookstore in Holland,

2075
01:44:47,119 --> 01:44:50,840
Michigan on September twenty eighth, you're not going to want

2076
01:44:50,840 --> 01:44:52,359
to miss that event. There is a link in the

2077
01:44:52,399 --> 01:44:54,600
show notes to their website so you can find out

2078
01:44:54,720 --> 01:45:01,399
more information. And lastly, the map of Odyssey that Michael

2079
01:45:01,600 --> 01:45:05,039
referenced in one of the recaps earlier, they had this

2080
01:45:05,279 --> 01:45:09,159
huge printed out version of it that just looked amazing.

2081
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:11,960
Like I said in the recap, I didn't see it there,

2082
01:45:13,039 --> 01:45:17,119
but I saw pictures of it later. And the AIO

2083
01:45:17,279 --> 01:45:20,720
social team, primarily Evan David, I think, has been sharing

2084
01:45:20,920 --> 01:45:24,760
snippets of it or different quadrants from that map on

2085
01:45:25,000 --> 01:45:29,600
social in recent days, and he confirmed that the full

2086
01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:33,520
map will be released soon, so it's probably going to

2087
01:45:33,600 --> 01:45:35,760
be in the club, but maybe publicly, maybe they'll do

2088
01:45:35,800 --> 01:45:37,800
a poster of it. I think that would be amazing.

2089
01:45:38,239 --> 01:45:40,960
So the entire map of the town is going to

2090
01:45:41,039 --> 01:45:44,359
be available soon, so that's super super cool and a

2091
01:45:44,399 --> 01:45:46,640
little behind the scenes here, I think we can probably

2092
01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:49,560
say this now, there were several of us in the

2093
01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:55,079
community who were asked for feedback and to sort of

2094
01:45:55,199 --> 01:45:59,479
consult on this map project many many months ago and

2095
01:46:00,039 --> 01:46:03,000
help them to place things where they're supposed to be,

2096
01:46:03,119 --> 01:46:06,560
where they've been mentioned in the audio show, to make

2097
01:46:06,640 --> 01:46:11,039
sure it's as representative as possible. And of course there's

2098
01:46:11,079 --> 01:46:14,720
probably conflicting things. As you know, you have a thousand episodes,

2099
01:46:14,760 --> 01:46:17,600
there's going to be some things that don't quite mesh up,

2100
01:46:18,399 --> 01:46:23,159
and different maybe street names for different characters, where they

2101
01:46:23,239 --> 01:46:26,640
live and things like that. But that was cool to

2102
01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:28,079
be able to be a part of that, and so

2103
01:46:28,159 --> 01:46:30,640
I've been looking forward to this map for a very

2104
01:46:30,720 --> 01:46:33,359
long time, so I'm so glad that it's finally finished

2105
01:46:33,439 --> 01:46:36,800
and out for the fans to enjoy. So that's going

2106
01:46:36,880 --> 01:46:41,279
to be awesome when that gets publicly released. Well, that's

2107
01:46:41,319 --> 01:46:43,800
going to do it for this special edition of Audio

2108
01:46:43,880 --> 01:46:48,399
Theater Centro where we recap Adventures anadus Sees one thousand

2109
01:46:48,520 --> 01:46:53,960
