  And today I'm interviewing Denise Gossett.
• 0:43
  She plays Naomi in the series, and like I've said before, I got
• 0:48
  to be an extra. So getting to work with
• 0:52
  everybody and get to know everybody on set was such an
• 0:55
  amazing experience. And Denise, I am just so excited
• 1:00
  to learn more about you, your story, how you got into
• 1:03
  everything that you do, and just all of the things.
• 1:05
  So thank you so much for joining me.
• 1:08
  Thank you for having me. Absolutely.
• 1:10
  So can you tell me a little bit about yourself?
• 1:12
  Sure. So I'm a mom of Riley Bason, who
• 1:18
  plays Esther on the series. And I was one of those kids that
• 1:23
  always said I'm going to act, dance or sing and then wasn't
• 1:26
  really like pursuing anything. Like I would do a play here and
• 1:30
  there. It wasn't till my senior in high
• 1:33
  school that I did a play and I had a nice role, a lead role.
• 1:38
  And that's when I was like, wait a minute, I really do love this.
• 1:43
  And the colleges were coming around announcing announce
• 1:47
  auditions for scholarships. And so I ended up auditioning
• 1:51
  and getting partial scholarship with the opportunity to audition
• 1:55
  again. And I just kept getting
• 1:57
  scholarships, scholarships, scholarships.
• 1:59
  And I was so green. It was, it's really funny.
• 2:02
  Like I tell people, naivete will take you far because what you
• 2:07
  don't know can't stop you. And I think that's a wonderful
• 2:11
  thing because I just went forward.
• 2:14
  And then because doing all kinds of plays in college and outside
• 2:18
  of college and getting paid and got an agent, and my very first
• 2:23
  big thing was the TV series Superboy.
• 2:28
  I played Lex Luthor's sister, which was a lot of fun.
• 2:32
  And then things have just progressed from there.
• 2:37
  It's been a wonderful career. That's awesome.
• 2:41
  So let's get into your personal freedom story.
• 2:45
  Yeah. So I already mentioned I'm a
• 2:47
  mom. We lived out in LA for a while,
• 2:50
  a long while, and did not want to raise her in the city.
• 2:54
  So we moved back to Florida area, Orland area, where we have
• 2:59
  a lot of family here. So we made that journey.
• 3:03
  It was the best decision ever. When we left, I thought I may
• 3:08
  never act again because I'm not out in LA to have access.
• 3:13
  And so I put a lot of trust and faith in God and I actually
• 3:18
  started working more than I used to work in LA.
• 3:23
  So he definitely was providing for me because I, and that was a
• 3:27
  big leap. I was very nervous, but I knew
• 3:29
  that I wanted her safe. I didn't want her growing up
• 3:32
  that way. There were too many.
• 3:35
  I remember being pregnant and my husband and I going out to the
• 3:38
  movies and we saw all these teenagers walking around and
• 3:42
  they've got their Fendi purses and their Prada and all of this.
• 3:45
  And just the way they talked, I was like, I don't want that for
• 3:49
  my daughter. I don't want her focus to be
• 3:52
  these brand names that really mean nothing in the big picture.
• 3:57
  And it was the best thing because Orlando is very family
• 4:01
  oriented. Like I said, we have a lot of
• 4:03
  family here. And she was able to grow up with
• 4:06
  cousins and aunts and uncles and grandma, grandpa.
• 4:10
  And so that all worked beautifully.
• 4:13
  And it was, you know, it was a sign of trusting.
• 4:18
  And, you know, we all struggle with that, how when things seem
• 4:21
  so bad and rough, how do we trust that things are going to
• 4:26
  work out? Oddly enough, when I was in Sure
• 4:30
  Creek filming, I saw a church and I had a sign out front.
• 4:35
  And it's this quote, it really hit me like, like, this is
• 4:38
  Naomi's way. She thinks too worrying means
• 4:42
  you think God will make a mistake.
• 4:45
  And I was like, Oh my gosh, it's so true because there's no point
• 4:48
  in worrying. You can't do anything about it.
• 4:50
  And honestly, like, what's the worst that can happen?
• 4:53
  You know, from some of these things, we worry about such
• 4:56
  silly things and, you know, life goes on.
• 4:59
  And and then the other thing I always say is like, will it
• 5:03
  matter? In a year.
• 5:05
  Will it matter in two years? No, probably not.
• 5:07
  So why are we worrying now? So my life has been a journey of
• 5:13
  trying to trust because I like to control things.
• 5:18
  I, I got to make sure like I know what's happening and am I
• 5:21
  prepared and da, da, da, da. And sometimes we can't do that.
• 5:24
  Sometimes it's impossible to be completely prepared.
• 5:28
  And especially this year because so many things have been thrown
• 5:31
  at us, good things like, you know, promoting the the movie
• 5:37
  and the TV series. And we've been doing a lot of
• 5:40
  traveling and it's just literally been, I trust you, God
• 5:43
  to take me to meet the right people and to do the right
• 5:46
  things. And it's been a beautiful year.
• 5:51
  Yeah, absolutely. And I love how you saw that sign
• 5:55
  because that that gets me too, because I come from a family
• 5:59
  except for my dad. I come from a family of
• 6:01
  warriors. My grandpa was king of that.
• 6:05
  And yeah, he, I, it's kind of funny, just when I first started
• 6:12
  college and I, I was going for a psychology degree.
• 6:16
  So of course, you know, you're young, you're dumb and you're
• 6:19
  like, yeah, I know everything. Like you go through your first
• 6:21
  psychology class and you start diagnosing everybody.
• 6:24
  So that's so true. I went to him and I said,
• 6:28
  Grandpa, you have generalized anxiety disorder.
• 6:32
  And he goes, what's that? And I said, you're a worry wart.
• 6:37
  And he's like, no, I'm not. No, actually he's like, yeah,
• 6:40
  you're probably right. He, he, he wasn't he.
• 6:44
  He was the one who would watch The Weather Channel and then
• 6:47
  call you and let you know what the weather was going to be if
• 6:48
  you were traveling. Oh, that's funny.
• 6:51
  Yeah, so he, he knew he was. But yeah, I think that that's
• 6:56
  that's such a key thing is, you know, God doesn't make mistakes.
• 7:01
  And I think a lot of us, a lot of us have been through things
• 7:05
  that people would be like, well, how can you trust God even
• 7:07
  though you've been through this? And it's like, because I know
• 7:10
  that even though he didn't intend for that to happen, that
• 7:14
  he does make good. He can't make good out of those
• 7:17
  things. And they can help other people.
• 7:20
  Right. Exactly.
• 7:23
  Yeah. And that's.
• 7:24
  And that's hard because like, you know, I believe in, you
• 7:29
  know, energy to putting out good energy.
• 7:33
  And I believe it does come back to you.
• 7:35
  And, you know, if you do what we're supposed to be doing, that
• 7:40
  good does come back to you. You know, people will say like,
• 7:44
  well, I wasn't putting out there that I wanted a flat tire.
• 7:48
  And I was like, I, I know, but what was your mindset when that
• 7:54
  tire happened? And they'll go, well, I was
• 7:56
  pretty stressed about this, this and this.
• 7:58
  I'm like, well, So what you were putting out was coming back to
• 8:02
  you. You added more stress to
• 8:03
  yourself. So I truly believe that in all
• 8:07
  the energy and and what God wants for us.
• 8:11
  And sometimes there are lessons. You know, it's not always
• 8:15
  punishment. How we kind of look at things
• 8:17
  like why, why? It's lessons too.
• 8:20
  And we grow through the lesson. Right.
• 8:24
  Life is fascinating, really. It is, and I did AI did an
• 8:28
  online event a couple of days before we're filming.
• 8:33
  And I always say that 2013 and 2014 are the years that could go
• 8:39
  away because they were the toughest, you know, most
• 8:43
  complicated years of my life. But they're also the year where
• 8:47
  my greatest years, where my greatest testimony comes out of.
• 8:51
  Interesting. And when I go back and think
• 8:54
  about it, I wasn't back with God or I was just starting to go
• 8:57
  back to church when those things happened.
• 8:59
  And like, you know, I was angry at God during those times, but
• 9:04
  it's also built me stronger than what I would have been if I
• 9:07
  wouldn't have gone through those things.
• 9:10
  And so, yeah, you never know. Never know what's around the
• 9:14
  corner. And don't you always look back
• 9:17
  and think, how did I do that? Like how did I get through that?
• 9:21
  Or how did I accomplish that? Because looking at it now, it's
• 9:25
  like that was way too much. To get.
• 9:28
  Through and I somehow did. It right exactly.
• 9:32
  Yeah, it's, it's amazing. Yeah, So what Bible verse or
• 9:37
  verses help to keep you anchored?
• 9:40
  To me, just opening it up and sometimes I'll randomly just
• 9:46
  open like, OK, God, this is what I need to know.
• 9:49
  And I'll randomly open and I'll read and I'll be like, so I
• 9:54
  wouldn't say like a particular one, but I do do that.
• 9:58
  And that's really interesting to do because often you'll be like,
• 10:03
  what does this have to do with anything?
• 10:05
  And then maybe later in the day I'll go, oh, I get it.
• 10:09
  So it's once again that trust, trust that he's answering you on
• 10:16
  what you need. You may not know you need it,
• 10:18
  but you need it. Right, right.
• 10:22
  Yeah. And what is one of your favorite
• 10:24
  verses? The one that I say the most is
• 10:31
  the one I we started the conversation with.
• 10:34
  I can do all things through Christ because when I start to
• 10:39
  get frustrated, things aren't going my way.
• 10:41
  I always think that, oh, I'm going to paraphrase, but faith
• 10:47
  as a muster seed to like you don't have to with every bone in
• 10:51
  your body. Believe and trust and have
• 10:54
  faith. But if you have just a titch,
• 10:58
  that's really all you need. There's so many things that that
• 11:03
  comes into play in my life because I, I do worry, I do try
• 11:09
  to control my surroundings. And that's, that's definitely a
• 11:13
  flaw of mine. Years ago, a friend surprised me
• 11:19
  on my birthday. She just said, wear something
• 11:21
  comfortable and get in the car. And I was like, oh gosh, where
• 11:24
  are we going? Pull up to a trapeze place.
• 11:30
  And I was like, oh, OK, this will be fun.
• 11:35
  So we go in and we learn like, OK, there's you're not, you're
• 11:40
  not tethered, but there is a net below you're 4050 feet up.
• 11:47
  And I'm like, ah, easy breezy, right?
• 11:49
  So we get to the top of that thing and I'm looking down.
• 11:52
  I'm not scared. It's no big deal.
• 11:54
  But now to grab the pole, they can't be close because otherwise
• 12:00
  people will hit the platform. So they're way, way out there.
• 12:04
  So you have to be able to lean out and grab that pole and then
• 12:10
  go. And even then you can't bring it
• 12:14
  up this close. You're like, wait, you're,
• 12:15
  you're hanging over the edge holding on that hole.
• 12:18
  I couldn't do it. I was freaking out.
• 12:22
  My friend was crying. She was like, this is crazy.
• 12:25
  Well, the guy said it's the people who like to control
• 12:29
  things in their life that have the hardest time with this
• 12:32
  because you're having to trust that one, you're not going to
• 12:35
  fall, and two, that you can grab a hold of that and be fine.
• 12:40
  I'm the type of person that would like I came, I'm doing
• 12:43
  this, but it was struggle. I was so scared.
• 12:46
  And when I finally did it, OK, so my friend did it.
• 12:50
  She swung back and forth and she and then she dropped.
• 12:53
  When I finally did it, I swung back and forth.
• 12:55
  I'm like, I'm here, teach me. So they're like, OK, would you
• 13:00
  like to, you know, flip around? I'm like, yes, talk me through
• 13:03
  it. So I did OK, Would you like to
• 13:05
  switch swings? Yes, talk me through it.
• 13:07
  So I was able to do it all. But it was that leap of faith
• 13:11
  that I struggled with. But I thought it was really
• 13:14
  interesting that he said. People who like to control
• 13:17
  everything have the hardest time here, but who knew I was going
• 13:22
  to have such a lesson come out of.
• 13:23
  That yeah, because I was sitting here having an anxiety attack
• 13:28
  just thinking. About doing chats, it wasn't
• 13:32
  fear. It was, I guess some of it must
• 13:34
  have been fear because you have to trust that you're going to
• 13:37
  get it and not just fall 50 feet down.
• 13:41
  It was cool, though. And part of me was secretly also
• 13:45
  saying, OK, I know you got me, God, but OK, I have been hired
• 13:50
  as an actor to do this role. It's not me.
• 13:54
  You can do this to these. And that really did help
• 13:56
  whatever we got to do. Right, Exactly, exactly.
• 13:59
  I'm a control freak too. Like, I don't, I normally don't
• 14:03
  let other people drive because I feel like I have to have control
• 14:07
  of something. So when I drove down to Texas
• 14:10
  with my dad, who was perfectly able to drive, I drove the whole
• 14:13
  way because I was like, if something's going to happen, I
• 14:18
  have to know that I at least had the last little bit of control.
• 14:21
  Sure, sure. And you know, you want to go the
• 14:24
  speed you want to go. And yeah, no, I understand that.
• 14:29
  So let's talk about how you got into the Sugar Creek Amish
• 14:34
  mysteries, the movie and in the series.
• 14:38
  OK, so for the movie, there were auditions or a breakdown put out
• 14:43
  and my agent submitted Riley and I and she put a note in that
• 14:48
  they are real mother and daughter.
• 14:51
  And we both get an audition. We're like, Oh my gosh, Oh my
• 14:55
  gosh, this would be really cool. And so, you know, we don't have
• 14:58
  any Amish clothes. We just kind of, you know, put
• 15:00
  our hair back and no makeup and that sort of thing to do the
• 15:04
  audition and Riley wasn't feeling really great.
• 15:07
  I think she was dealing with some allergies or something.
• 15:09
  So she wasn't feeling great. So she kind of just threw it
• 15:12
  away, which often helps because, you know, you're not
• 15:17
  concentrating so much on what you're doing is OK, let's just
• 15:20
  get this over with and sometimes that work.
• 15:24
  So then we get the call that we both booked it.
• 15:30
  We were like what? And we're and we're flying to
• 15:35
  Ohio for three weeks now. Back then, of course, 3 weeks
• 15:39
  seemed like a long time. We're like, this is crazy.
• 15:41
  Like we're jumping up and down. It's like because we had done
• 15:44
  other movies together but never related.
• 15:48
  So this was our first mother, real mother, daughter playing
• 15:50
  mother and daughter. And it was phenomenal.
• 15:53
  And since then, I've talked to Sandra, the director, and she
• 15:58
  said every time she releases a breakdown, if there's a mother
• 16:02
  and daughter role, she always gets notes.
• 16:04
  We're real mother, daughter, whatever, right?
• 16:06
  I was like, oh, so it's common shows, yes, but she goes often.
• 16:10
  We love the mother and don't like the kids acting or we like
• 16:14
  the kid and not the mother. I'm like, oh, so we really got
• 16:18
  like, and Riley and I always say this was like, God helped us get
• 16:22
  this because everything that's come out of it is and so
• 16:26
  beautiful. We love our Sure Creek family
• 16:30
  and and then of course the series.
• 16:32
  So it's based on a 32 book series.
• 16:36
  Originally they were going to do like one or two books per movie.
• 16:41
  And then I don't know if it was Siobhan who decided or up TV
• 16:44
  decided to make it into episodes.
• 16:47
  So we shot that next year. We shot 8 episodes and we were
• 16:50
  there two months. Now that was a long time, but
• 16:58
  they've they've been loosely based on one episode is a book
• 17:02
  1. You know, each episode is a
• 17:03
  book. So and we had one of the authors
• 17:08
  come to set and she was loving it.
• 17:14
  We we have talked to some of the authors and that's the other
• 17:18
  thing interesting about this book series.
• 17:20
  There's all different authors, so they rotate out, but there'll
• 17:24
  be like 6 different ones. So it's very interesting.
• 17:27
  I've never seen that before with a book series, but she was
• 17:30
  saying she'd like if we get through them all, she'd be more
• 17:34
  than willing to write more or or let us play around with thoughts
• 17:38
  of hers or whatever. But I asked her, I said, when
• 17:42
  you wrote these, did you ever think it would be a movie or
• 17:47
  ATV? So she's like, no, like she
• 17:49
  thought it was the greatest thing ever.
• 17:52
  And she brought brought her mom to set, she brought her
• 17:55
  grandchildren to set and they got to be extras in some of the
• 17:59
  scenes. It was really, really cool.
• 18:02
  That's awesome. Yeah.
• 18:04
  It's Sugar Creek is an amazing area.
• 18:07
  If nobody's been there before, it is gorgeous.
• 18:10
  It's so peaceful and I mean, there's just rolling hills
• 18:16
  everywhere. And then even I love the oldness
• 18:19
  of the downtown area, most of it because you know, there's
• 18:22
  there's a random shop in there that you go.
• 18:25
  But for the most part, it's like the old, old towns and it
• 18:30
  reminds you of something out of Germany because they call
• 18:31
  themselves like little Switzerland down in that area.
• 18:35
  Exactly. And and it's just we love the
• 18:37
  people. I love that everywhere you go,
• 18:40
  you see Amish and, and there's just such kind, wonderful people
• 18:47
  living a simpler life that we could learn so much from them.
• 18:52
  And it's funny because Riley and I got to the point where we'd
• 18:55
  see a horse and bug and we're like our people.
• 18:58
  So. Much about them, we feel like we
• 19:02
  are a part of it in an odd way. But.
• 19:06
  Yeah, we we love it. Yeah, I.
• 19:10
  Never thought I would ever say that either, but man, we do.
• 19:14
  Yeah, yeah. It's, it was so fun.
• 19:16
  The one day I was with Jennifer and her two daughters, who were
• 19:20
  also extras, and they were dressed in Amish garb.
• 19:26
  Yeah, they were there at the barn scene as well, but they're
• 19:31
  dressed in Amish garb and driving an SUV.
• 19:36
  And then I'm in the passenger seat because I didn't get chosen
• 19:39
  to be Amish that day. I was chosen to be an English
• 19:42
  because the wardrobe designer loved the outfit I already had
• 19:45
  on. And she's like, that's perfect.
• 19:47
  Your English or today. So these they were looking in
• 19:53
  the vehicle going like doing second and third looks because
• 19:57
  they're like, there's an Amish woman driving an SUV.
• 19:59
  Like what's going on here? It was.
• 20:02
  Crazy. Right, because they got me a
• 20:05
  rental car and sometimes I would take the rental car with Riley
• 20:08
  and I in it to the next location and same thing.
• 20:11
  Like I always felt like, Oh my gosh, I feel like such an
• 20:15
  imposter. People are staring like why this
• 20:19
  car? It's so, so weird.
• 20:23
  Oh my gosh, let me tell you. So we went to NRB, right?
• 20:26
  And Siobhan had asked it would we be willing to dress Amish for
• 20:31
  a Meet the Cast event? And I was like, absolutely.
• 20:34
  So we're dressed Amish walking through the Gaylord in
• 20:39
  Nashville. It was funny because I said,
• 20:43
  watch people's faces. They're either so into their
• 20:46
  phone and into what they're doing that they don't even see
• 20:49
  you. Or it was like a like a double
• 20:51
  take, like what? What is where am I?
• 20:53
  What's happening? It was so funny to watch and we
• 20:57
  were supposed to do it for two hours or an hour and a half.
• 21:00
  We ended up doing it the whole day because we were having so
• 21:02
  much fun with everyone. Siobhan geniusly brought in a
• 21:07
  buggy. For our booth.
• 21:10
  And so we were taking pictures with people in the buggy,
• 21:14
  outside of the buggy because we're dressed Amish.
• 21:16
  People loved it. We took hundreds of pictures,
• 21:20
  say it was so much fun. That would have been fun.
• 21:23
  I'm so sad that I missed that. Oh, it would have been so much
• 21:27
  fun. We were at the talk of invention
• 21:30
  because everyone was like, where's the Amish buggy?
• 21:32
  I want to see the Amish food. Where is it?
• 21:34
  Because it was just set up so cute.
• 21:37
  And I, you know, I would tell people I'd go, hey, do you want
• 21:39
  to get a picture with a couple of Amish girls?
• 21:41
  And you can even get in the buggy if you want.
• 21:43
  And they're like, what? I go, where else would you ever
• 21:46
  be able to do that? Like, you're right, I'm getting
• 21:50
  in. It was so cute.
• 21:51
  Everyone loved. Well, the interview I had right
• 21:54
  before you, my friend Misty, she she was there and she saw the
• 22:01
  buggy. Yeah, she saw the buggy.
• 22:04
  She saw you guys. And she's like, that was the
• 22:07
  coolest thing. But I was in the middle of
• 22:08
  running to another interview, so I didn't have time.
• 22:11
  But I thought it was cool how they had the buggy sitting there
• 22:14
  and all that. So yeah, it was so fun.
• 22:18
  I think they need to do it for next year in DC because I'm
• 22:22
  going next year. We will see what Siobhan has up
• 22:25
  her sleeve. But you're right, I mean, I
• 22:27
  should. Because we'll be then, you know,
• 22:31
  get ready for Season 3, God willing.
• 22:34
  And promoting season. Two.
• 22:38
  Yes, exactly. Yeah.
• 22:42
  Had you ever been to Christian Worldview Film Festival?
• 22:45
  No, never been there. So we went there, they were
• 22:49
  screening the movie and people loved it.
• 22:53
  Like a guy immediately came up and he said, I want this.
• 22:57
  I I'm from Portugal and I want it translated into Portuguese.
• 23:00
  I want this. And then I was like, OK, so I
• 23:04
  ended up hooking him up with Siobhan.
• 23:07
  But there were several people that were like, we want this in
• 23:09
  our country. And people just loved it.
• 23:12
  They're like, are there going to be more?
• 23:14
  And I'm like, yeah, actually, it's ATV series now, so people
• 23:17
  are so excited. We've met all kinds of people
• 23:21
  there. It has been such an amazing year
• 23:26
  so far. All the people that oddly, this
• 23:31
  TV series is touching. And the movie, I think because
• 23:35
  it's so wholesome, yes, you know, I always tell people it's
• 23:39
  like Little House in the Prairie meets Nancy Drew.
• 23:42
  It's something for the entire family with faith pushed in
• 23:46
  there as well, but not not hitting you over the head with
• 23:49
  it. Just nice subtle kindness, God
• 23:52
  here and there. It's it's a beautiful thing.
• 23:55
  And the series has a little bit even more than the movie did,
• 23:58
  which is lovely and just showing how we all basically believe in
• 24:06
  similar things. We just may call it different
• 24:10
  things. You know, the Amish, they,
• 24:12
  they're praying to the same God we pray to.
• 24:16
  It's just, it's, I think it's wonderful to see the, the
• 24:19
  different sides and how they pray because we show that in the
• 24:22
  series. I think it's going to touch a
• 24:27
  lot of people's hearts, hopefully.
• 24:30
  Oh, I believe it will too. And I am so excited for the
• 24:34
  series to come out and I can't wait for everybody to see it.
• 24:38
  Where can they go to keep up with you and keep up with all
• 24:42
  the things you have going on? And also how can they follow the
• 24:48
  TV series? OK, I am on Facebook and I am on
• 24:54
  Instagram and TikTok and Twitter X.
• 24:57
  I'm on all of them under Denise Gossett.
• 25:00
  The movie is currently still on Up Faith and Family streaming.
• 25:06
  And so I highly recommend watching that before you get to
• 25:09
  the series because it kind of fills in who all the characters
• 25:12
  are. And then the series will air on
• 25:17
  Up Faith and Family streaming on April 13th and then it'll and
• 25:24
  we're it's going to be 1 a week and then it's going to start out
• 25:27
  on up TV, the cable channel. So if he if make sure you see
• 25:32
  the movie slash pilot first because then you'll be filled
• 25:35
  in. And yeah, it's going to be so
• 25:38
  exciting. I'm really excited.
• 25:40
  You know, Up up TV will put out an ad like on Facebook and I'll
• 25:44
  go to it and I'll like read through the comments and it's
• 25:47
  just so cute what they say. They're all like, oh, I love
• 25:52
  this. Is there is there going to be
• 25:53
  more? So then like I'll write every
• 25:55
  once in a while. Yeah, there's going to be more.
• 25:57
  And they're like, I don't know if they figure out I'm in it or
• 26:01
  if they just think I'm some rando telling them details of
• 26:04
  what's coming. I don't know.
• 26:05
  But it's fun to see. It's fun to see the comments.
• 26:08
  And like, this was so cute. And this was so fun to see Amish
• 26:12
  with Englishers. And it's it's fun.
• 26:15
  And, you know, we think of it as just our little show that, you
• 26:20
  know, we, we happen to film in the summers.
• 26:23
  We don't really think like it's potentially touching all kinds
• 26:26
  of people, but it is and it's stocking.
• 26:30
  It's so fun. I was so lucky.
• 26:34
  That's so glad I get to. Yeah, and I'm so grateful to
• 26:38
  Micah because she's the one that hooked Matt and I up to be able
• 26:43
  to come for the first scenes in the movies and getting to meet
• 26:48
  all of you guys and, you know, develop this friendship has been
• 26:52
  so great. And I'm so grateful.
