  Speaker 15: not get along. We observe, we respect each other, but
• 9:47
  Speaker 15: sometimes it encroaches terribly, and it's starting to do that
• 9:52
  Speaker 15: right now, and I'm not I'm not happy. We're expecting
• 9:54
  Speaker 15: the snow possibly later on Tomorrow through Friday, and I'm
• 10:01
  Speaker 15: hoping it doesn't stick. I'm not happy.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Well, I mean, you're the one who moved further north
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: in Texas.
• 10:09
  Speaker 15: I know, I know this was this was not my
• 10:12
  Speaker 15: idea entirely, but you know, the opportunity came up and
• 10:15
  Speaker 15: I could not say no to a place.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: Like that, So I mean, I've seen the pictures. I
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: wouldn't have said no either.
• 10:23
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I actually, you know, I sent Sarah Miller a message,
• 10:29
  Speaker 15: you know, because she and her husband just lost her
• 10:33
  Speaker 15: house and the Palisades fire, and I told her, you know,
• 10:36
  Speaker 15: if you guys need a place to stay, we have
• 10:39
  Speaker 15: a guest house and it's empty, and you know, it
• 10:42
  Speaker 15: would be no problem. The only thing is you have
• 10:44
  Speaker 15: to come to Texas. And then I realized when she's
• 10:47
  Speaker 15: buried too, and I'm like, holy crap, this is possibility.
• 10:50
  Speaker 15: I could have James Woods and as my guest. Would
• 10:54
  Speaker 15: be awesome.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: That would be cool.
• 10:58
  Speaker 15: Yeah, but you know, if it should come to pass,
• 11:00
  Speaker 15: I would not say a word to anythy. I mean
• 11:02
  Speaker 15: I would have I'm really strict about observing people's privacy.
• 11:06
  Speaker 15: I just thought that it was funny because I I
• 11:08
  Speaker 15: sent her the message even though I knew what she
• 11:10
  Speaker 15: was married to, and I made the uh, you know,
• 11:13
  Speaker 15: the invitation and did It didn't hit me until later
• 11:17
  Speaker 15: that I made the invitation to him as well.
• 11:21
  Speaker 14: You know, you will if they accept you will require
• 11:27
  Speaker 14: required to learn the song from family Guy about James
• 11:30
  Speaker 14: Woods and sing it.
• 11:32
  Speaker 15: Mm mm hmm okay, noted noted. But I mean I'm
• 11:36
  Speaker 15: keeping them in prayer. I'm keeping everybody in prayer. This
• 11:39
  Speaker 15: is such a horrific situation out there.
• 11:42
  Speaker 12: So I'll just I'll just say it finger and will
• 11:47
  Speaker 12: be allowed.
• 11:48
  Speaker 15: No, well, I would totally fangirl, but you know, like
• 11:51
  Speaker 15: I said, I would keep it quiet in private, although
• 11:55
  Speaker 15: I would take a video and I will send it
• 11:56
  Speaker 15: to you.
• 11:56
  Speaker 12: Guys, you can invite him onto one of the pod,
• 12:00
  Speaker 12: one of your pods.
• 12:02
  Speaker 15: That would be Kitler.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: If you don't. If you don't, if this happens, then
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you don't at least ask I'm gonna be this. I
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: don't even care if it's the you can it's yours, brads, one,
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: I don't care.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: I don't care one of them. All right.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: So one thing I want to say is I did
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: actually just watch the interview with him and Laura Ingram,
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: and I felt horrible listening to this. This man explained
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: everything that they're going through out there, and it just
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: it pisses me off even more because it was all preventable.
• 12:34
  Speaker 15: Yes, that's the part. It has always been preventable. That's
• 12:37
  Speaker 15: the problem. I had a friend I've spoken about this before.
• 12:40
  Speaker 15: I had a friend who I want to say about
• 12:44
  Speaker 15: fourteen fifteen years ago, there was a wilfire running through
• 12:48
  Speaker 15: his area, and he took the opportunity to cut away
• 12:53
  Speaker 15: all the undergrowth next to his house, all of the brush, everything.
• 12:59
  Speaker 15: He just cut it off the way and his house
• 13:02
  Speaker 15: was the only one that was saved. And the state
• 13:04
  Speaker 15: of California sued him for cutting away the underbrush. I
• 13:08
  Speaker 15: couldn't I couldn't believe it when he told me. And
• 13:11
  Speaker 15: he countersuits, you know, he countersuits. You put my you
• 13:15
  Speaker 15: put my life in danger, you know, by doing this.
• 13:19
  Speaker 15: And so they settled out of court and he won
• 13:23
  Speaker 15: the settlement. But yeah, I mean, that's how screwy it
• 13:26
  Speaker 15: is out there. Well, the state will actually sue you
• 13:30
  Speaker 15: for actually trying to take care of your house so
• 13:32
  Speaker 15: that the insurance company doesn't have to get involved. Okay,
• 13:37
  Speaker 15: this is weird, but okay, very very very not cool.
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: All right, So anyway, without further ado, please introduce our
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: baby the Money.
• 13:46
  Speaker 15: I managed to ask a really sweet and wonderful friend
• 13:52
  Speaker 15: that it's very popular on Twitter to be our baby
• 13:55
  Speaker 15: of the month today and it's none other. I'm sorry,
• 14:00

  Speaker 15: Yes, she's a great writer and avid reader, and she
• 14:25
  Speaker 15: has incentivized so many of us to get back into
• 14:28
  Speaker 15: the habit of writing and of reading, of doing. As
• 14:33
  Speaker 15: a matter of fact, she was one of the ones
• 14:35
  Speaker 15: that I was looking to when we started the book podcast.
• 14:39
  Speaker 15: She because I had become a fan of her particular
• 14:43
  Speaker 15: page and and all that stuff. And you know, between

  Speaker 15: Well, as you know, I'm also writing letters. I got
• 16:06

• 17:08
  Speaker 2: I like her.
• 17:14
  Speaker 15: So anyway, I know that right now that you are reading,
• 17:21
  Speaker 15: uh a really pretty pretty hefty tone. But it is
• 17:27
  Speaker 15: not exactly for research, but to get yourself into the
• 17:30
  Speaker 15: mindset for your actual writing.
• 17:33
  Speaker 16: Yes, I'm reading the Civil War Narrative by Shelby Foot.
• 17:39
  Speaker 16: It's well known in civil war circles and actually outside
• 17:44
  Speaker 16: of civil wars, worst war circles. And I'm on the
• 17:48
  Speaker 16: third volume. I read the first two volumes last year,
• 17:51
  Speaker 16: and I just love the Civil War era and I
• 17:53
  Speaker 16: enjoy reading military history. So I I picked it up
• 18:01
  Speaker 16: because I wanted to finish all three books. And I
• 18:07
  Speaker 16: have a long term series that I'm writing focused on
• 18:11
  Speaker 16: each of the American wars right now, starting with French
• 18:16
  Speaker 16: and Indian through probably the most recent wars in Iraq
• 18:21
  Speaker 16: and Afghanistan, just following one family as the different generations
• 18:26
  Speaker 16: go to war. So I think as I'm reading this book,
• 18:29
  Speaker 16: it will give me an idea of which part of
• 18:31
  Speaker 16: the war to focus on, because each story in each
• 18:37
  Speaker 16: character's slash generation also is in a different branch of
• 18:42
  Speaker 16: the military. So I as much as I love the
• 18:48
  Speaker 16: Civil War era, I still haven't chosen which branch I
• 18:52
  Speaker 16: will focus on and what my character will be doing.
• 18:56
  Speaker 16: But this reading this book, I know will give me
• 18:59
  Speaker 16: a lot of idea, ideas and just help me focus.
• 19:04
  Speaker 16: So that's why I'm doing that. And because it's just
• 19:09
  Speaker 16: a classic of civil war history.
• 19:13
  Speaker 15: Yeah, it's considered one of the I guess the quintessential
• 19:18
  Speaker 15: readers for the Civil War, but I you know, I
• 19:22
  Speaker 15: never I never looked at it from the point of
• 19:26
  Speaker 15: view of having different generations fighting in that same war
• 19:30
  Speaker 15: and how they would be the war differently, you know,
• 19:34
  Speaker 15: you because the war only lasted what four years? Four
• 19:39
  Speaker 15: or five years, So you don't you seem to think
• 19:43
  Speaker 15: that everybody thinks the same way whether you're in the
• 19:46
  Speaker 15: Union or in the Confederacy. But that's not true, is it.
• 19:52
  Speaker 16: No? And just with the different time periods and the
• 19:58
  Speaker 16: other wars that you have the Mexican War, which several
• 20:03
  Speaker 16: several generals had fought in on both the Union and
• 20:05
  Speaker 16: the Confederacy, and then you have far before that, you know,
• 20:10
  Speaker 16: the War of eighteen twelve. So there might be some
• 20:15
  Speaker 16: lingering officers there, but it's gonna, yeah, you're gonna have
• 20:20
  Speaker 16: a lot of different ideas about fighting.
• 20:25
  Speaker 15: So we'll see, we'll see how.
• 20:26
  Speaker 16: The the story shapes up. But there's so much research
• 20:34
  Speaker 16: that has to go into writing this kind of series
• 20:37
  Speaker 16: and one of the single any of the single stories
• 20:40
  Speaker 16: within the series. So I'm starting on it now.
• 20:46
  Speaker 15: Well that should be really cool. Yeah, I can't wait
• 20:50
  Speaker 15: to see where your inspiration takes you, Like you end
• 20:55
  Speaker 15: up writing on because that, like I said, I never
• 20:58
  Speaker 15: thought of it from that point of view. We thought
• 21:00
  Speaker 15: of it, Oh, everybody thought the same way. If you
• 21:02
  Speaker 15: were in the South or if you weren't in the north.
• 21:04
  Speaker 15: You know, you had that pre preset idea. Yeah it
• 21:11
  Speaker 15: makes sense, you know, but I never thought of.
• 21:13
  Speaker 13: It that way.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: M Yeah.
• 21:16
  Speaker 16: No, there's a there's a lot too, so many varying perspectives.
• 21:25
  Speaker 11: Of the time.
• 21:28
  Speaker 15: I know I'm geeking out. I can't help, but I mean, seriously,
• 21:33
  Speaker 15: I used to be a voracious reader and I got
• 21:39
  Speaker 15: out of the habit for a while and I would
• 21:41
  Speaker 15: only read maybe four or five books a year or
• 21:46
  Speaker 15: something like that. And then, to be honest, the stuff
• 21:50
  Speaker 15: that was being written, I don't know it just yeah.
• 21:54
  Speaker 15: I was just like, because a lot of the writing
• 21:57
  Speaker 15: that takes place is based on current cultural norms that
• 22:03
  Speaker 15: are being established, you you're like, oh, I if you
• 22:07
  Speaker 15: don't particularly care for that, then you're like, no, well,
• 22:10
  Speaker 15: I'm not gonna be reading it. But if it's all
• 22:11
  Speaker 15: being written, if everybody's writing about the same stuff, you're like,
• 22:16
  Speaker 15: I guess I'll go back to Wuthering Heights or you know,
• 22:20
  Speaker 15: Jane Eyre whatever, tick one. But so I am gratified
• 22:26
  Speaker 15: to see that there are a lot more independent and
• 22:32
  Speaker 15: publishing going on because it has opened up a lot
• 22:36
  Speaker 15: of different views in each genre. I guess, for lack
• 22:41
  Speaker 15: of a better.
• 22:42
  Speaker 16: Term, I think it makes it so that authors don't
• 22:47
  Speaker 16: have to fit preconceived and pre set ideas. When you're
• 22:55
  Speaker 16: writing in a genre, your audience is going to expect
• 22:59
  Speaker 16: something from that genre, So the author does have something
• 23:03
  Speaker 16: of a responsibility to kind of keep that unspoken contract
• 23:12
  Speaker 16: with the rear. But in the publishing I think does
• 23:16
  Speaker 16: allow some of the genres to push it the boundaries
• 23:20
  Speaker 16: and push it the edges of what that genre, what's
• 23:25
  Speaker 16: expected of that genre for sure.
• 23:29
  Speaker 15: Yeah, yeah, I'm just like you know, when I know
• 23:33
  Speaker 15: you're familiar with Bane books when they came on the scene.
• 23:38
  Speaker 15: A lot of the military sci fi that came out
• 23:41
  Speaker 15: of that was so awesome because I was you were
• 23:44
  Speaker 15: limited with the military sci fi that was out. It
• 23:47
  Speaker 15: was there was so little written, and then there was
• 23:51
  Speaker 15: this huge explosion thanks to that particular publishing house, and
• 23:56
  Speaker 15: that introduced you to a bunch of other new authors
• 24:00
  Speaker 15: who had prior military experience but loved sci fi. So
• 24:04
  Speaker 15: they combined the two and I mean, there was this
• 24:07
  Speaker 15: huge explosion and that was really cool. You had. I
• 24:11
  Speaker 15: saw a lot of kids get back into reading. I
• 24:15
  Speaker 15: used to be a mentor at a high school and
• 24:18
  Speaker 15: I and I saw them getting back into reading because
• 24:20
  Speaker 15: of that particular genre exploded during that time frame. And
• 24:24
  Speaker 15: so with the advent of independent publishing, I think that's
• 24:29
  Speaker 15: actually going to open up a lot more to you know,
• 24:35
  Speaker 15: to bring people back into reading.
• 24:37
  Speaker 16: Yes, and it's it's very interesting because you're watching you're
• 24:41
  Speaker 16: watching genres kind of be born right in front of
• 24:46
  Speaker 16: your eyes. It's a fascinating time. I really think traditional
• 24:51
  Speaker 16: publishing is going through a hopefully a rebirth regeneration, and
• 25:03
  Speaker 16: I think that I'm hoping indie publishing really does good
• 25:07
  Speaker 16: things for the publishing world because there's so many good
• 25:11
  Speaker 16: things out that traditional publishers won't look look at. And
• 25:17
  Speaker 16: I mean we talk about that competition is just good
• 25:21
  Speaker 16: for any industry, and I'm excited. I'm excited to see
• 25:27
  Speaker 16: where it goes.
• 25:29
  Speaker 13: It's publishing.
• 25:30
  Speaker 14: We wouldn't have Amionica.
• 25:33
  Speaker 15: There's that which I'm not getting. I went to the
• 25:36
  Speaker 15: other day and there were some homish uh, you know,
• 25:39
  Speaker 15: romance novels, and I'm looking and I'm going, should I shouldn't?
• 25:41
  Speaker 15: I should? I shouldn't I I should?
• 25:48
  Speaker 16: Yeah, Amish romance has taken over the inspirational romance publishing.
• 25:56
  Speaker 14: Instead of just instead of just referencing to bodice ripping,
• 25:59
  Speaker 14: it's actual bodice ripping. Yeah, it's all the catch a blessing.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: It's all the it's all the butter churning in the
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: it's all the butter churning in the in the viewing
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: of ankles, it's just gone too far.
• 26:14
  Speaker 11: Mm hmm.
• 26:18
  Speaker 15: I'm still on the lookout for a butter turner. But
• 26:20
  Speaker 15: that's another that's another tale for another day. Oh there
• 26:30
  Speaker 15: it is.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 26:34
  Speaker 15: I I'm who was I talking to somebody? A friend
• 26:38
  Speaker 15: of mine I was talking to She was interested in,
• 26:44
  Speaker 15: you know, writing a book. And you know, I'm at
• 26:48
  Speaker 15: an age where I'm like, yeah, if I'm going to
• 26:50
  Speaker 15: write anything, it's just for me. I'm not looking to
• 26:52
  Speaker 15: get published or anything. That's why I write my short
• 26:55
  Speaker 15: stories in that just throw them away. It's they're like gone,
• 27:00
  Speaker 15: literally gone with the wind because I burned them and
• 27:03
  Speaker 15: so you know, all the ashes go away. But she
• 27:07
  Speaker 15: was actually interested in writing a book, and she's like,
• 27:10
  Speaker 15: I don't know how to go about writing a book.
• 27:12
  Speaker 15: And I said, well, you have to do a lot
• 27:15
  Speaker 15: of research. But the research comes as you're writing. The
• 27:20
  Speaker 15: moment you start, you you you decide this is what
• 27:23
  Speaker 15: I'm going to write about. You start doing your research,
• 27:25
  Speaker 15: and then you'll write a little tale about your people,
• 27:29
  Speaker 15: whoever's in the book, and that will take you down
• 27:32
  Speaker 15: other other research you know holes, I guess, and then
• 27:37
  Speaker 15: you know. From there you will you will start writing
• 27:40
  Speaker 15: and if you like it, you'll keep doing. If you
• 27:43
  Speaker 15: don't like it, you'll just start from scratch. And I said,
• 27:45
  Speaker 15: but if if writing is something that you you wake
• 27:49
  Speaker 15: up wanting to do, you're already halfway there. And it's
• 27:53
  Speaker 15: and this is what one of my teachers told me.
• 27:56
  Speaker 15: I was like, if you wake up wanting to write,
• 27:59
  Speaker 15: then you're already a writer. You're not, you know, you don't.
• 28:02
  Speaker 15: You don't say I want to be a writer. You
• 28:06
  Speaker 15: say I am a writer. I just need to get started. Yes,
• 28:10
  Speaker 15: And that makes Yeah, that makes a lot of a
• 28:13
  Speaker 15: lot of difference, you know, when you look at it
• 28:16
  Speaker 15: in that perspective. Yeah, I'm I don't see myself as
• 28:21
  Speaker 15: a writer. I see myself as someone who has ideas
• 28:24
  Speaker 15: and short stories in her head, so she writes them
• 28:26
  Speaker 15: down and she uses Longhand to do it. I don't
• 28:29
  Speaker 15: even use a computer.
• 28:30
  Speaker 16: Oh yeah, thanks for that.
• 28:36
  Speaker 15: So, you know, and it's all about I just want
• 28:39
  Speaker 15: to be able to keep writing in cursive. My grandmother
• 28:42
  Speaker 15: wrote in cursive until the day she died, and she
• 28:44
  Speaker 15: had the most beautiful copperplay pantwriting, and it was I mean,
• 28:49
  Speaker 15: I looked forward to receiving a letter from my grandmother
• 28:52
  Speaker 15: just to look at it. I wasn't even reading it.
• 28:55
  Speaker 15: I was looking at the letters. And then I would
• 28:57
  Speaker 15: read the letter, but I would look at the letters
• 28:59
  Speaker 15: first because there was so pretty. And so she incentivized
• 29:03
  Speaker 15: me to actually make sure that my handwriting is nice
• 29:07
  Speaker 15: and legible and pretty and curly and all that stuff.
• 29:11
  Speaker 15: And then I had my English teacher in high school
• 29:15
  Speaker 15: that said, oh, we're having penmanship for the first three months,
• 29:19
  Speaker 15: and I'm like, what what just happened? She was really strict,
• 29:23
  Speaker 15: you know, and everybody that took that class to this
• 29:26
  Speaker 15: day still writes the same way like I do. So yeah,
• 29:31
  Speaker 15: it's stuck. But you know there's some people that are like,
• 29:35
  Speaker 15: oh no, I can't I can't write with a pencil
• 29:38
  Speaker 15: or a pen. It has to be on a computer,
• 29:39
  Speaker 15: and I have to be typing it, you know, and
• 29:42
  Speaker 15: and their their stories flow that way. And there's people
• 29:47
  Speaker 15: like me who do it longhand, and there's other people
• 29:50
  Speaker 15: who have to dictate it, which I was funk out weird,
• 29:54
  Speaker 15: but it works for them.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: So.
• 29:57
  Speaker 15: I don't. I don't even I'm guessing that you use
• 30:00
  Speaker 15: a computer for yours.
• 30:02
  Speaker 16: I mostly use a computer. I do always have a
• 30:06
  Speaker 16: notebook that I'm working in when I want to jot
• 30:09
  Speaker 16: down a scene. If I'm not near my computer, I
• 30:15
  Speaker 16: do have a story that I'm working on long hand
• 30:17
  Speaker 16: in that notebook. It's it's going all right. When you're
• 30:24
  Speaker 16: writing long hand, you things are a lot more compact.
• 30:28
  Speaker 16: When you're typing, scenes can go anywhere, and often do so.
• 30:34
  Speaker 16: Sometimes when I need the discipline of sticking to the
• 30:37
  Speaker 16: plot or to the scene, then long hand writing is
• 30:43
  Speaker 16: the way to go. I enjoy both. There's something about
• 30:48
  Speaker 16: putting pen to paper that's really that's what got starts,
• 30:51
  Speaker 16: That's really what got me started writing in the first place.
• 30:55
  Speaker 16: But I definitely enjoy the convenience of the technology of
• 31:00
  Speaker 16: just typing it on the computer and playing with paid
• 31:07
  Speaker 16: layouts and typefaces. I geek out on that too.
• 31:16
  Speaker 15: Yeah, I don't know. I think you know, writing is
• 31:25
  Speaker 15: such a it's a it's a for some people. It
• 31:28
  Speaker 15: can be a nice pastime, a nice hobby. For others,
• 31:30
  Speaker 15: it's kind of like breathing. They have to write, it
• 31:34
  Speaker 15: has to come out. And that's that's not me. I
• 31:40
  Speaker 15: just I write for the enjoyment. But you know, my sister,
• 31:44
  Speaker 15: she's actually a librarian, and she was the type that
• 31:49
  Speaker 15: had to you know, she would wake up in the
• 31:52
  Speaker 15: morning and had to write, and she would write stories
• 31:56
  Speaker 15: and everything. And she still has them, and I've asked her,
• 32:00
  Speaker 15: don't you refine them and publish, you know, self published,
• 32:03
  Speaker 15: And she's like, oh, I will. I'll get around to
• 32:05
  Speaker 15: it after, you know, her husband retires or something like that.
• 32:08
  Speaker 15: And I was like, I'm remind I don't know if
• 32:10
  Speaker 15: you ever saw did you ever see the movie Mother
• 32:12
  Speaker 15: with Debbie Reynolds.
• 32:14
  Speaker 16: Oh no, I haven't seen that one.
• 32:16
  Speaker 15: Okay, that is about writers, and it is. It is
• 32:21
  Speaker 15: one of the funniest, most endearing films I've ever seen.
• 32:25
  Speaker 15: It was directed by Albert Brooks and it stories to
• 32:28
  Speaker 15: Albert Brooks and Debbie Reynolds is his mother. And it's
• 32:34
  Speaker 15: I recommend it to everybody who writes, who's a writer,
• 32:38
  Speaker 15: who wishes to become a writer, and people who had
• 32:41
  Speaker 15: its aspirations of writing that never actually they followed through.
• 32:47
  Speaker 15: But it's just it's an endearing it's very funny, and
• 32:52
  Speaker 15: it makes you realize that for some people, writing was life,
• 32:56
  Speaker 15: you know, it is part of their definite the definition
• 33:00
  Speaker 15: of their own character. So there are several levels of writing,
• 33:08
  Speaker 15: and I guess everybody is apt to be at one
• 33:14
  Speaker 15: level or another. You know, some of us are very
• 33:17
  Speaker 15: much in the one percent bottom part, you know whatever,
• 33:20
  Speaker 15: and others are like live, breathe, eat writing, you know
• 33:25
  Speaker 15: the kind of thing. Yes, I imagine you would be
• 33:29
  Speaker 15: up high.
• 33:31
  Speaker 14: I do.
• 33:32
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 33:33
  Speaker 16: There's there's the people that love writing and there's the
• 33:36
  Speaker 16: people that want to have something written. And sometimes I
• 33:42
  Speaker 16: I mean, I'm on the spectrum of both. But I
• 33:45
  Speaker 16: do enjoy writing. I enjoy the crafting of the sentences.
• 33:48
  Speaker 16: I like revising, I like editing. I enjoy bringing paragraphs
• 33:55
  Speaker 16: together in the dialogue. And not everyone loves that part.
• 34:01
  Speaker 16: A lot of people that say they want to write,
• 34:07
  Speaker 16: and these are just these are you know, people that
• 34:09
  Speaker 16: I've met to writers things or in my life and
• 34:13
  Speaker 16: they have a story and they want the story to
• 34:15
  Speaker 16: be told, but they don't enjoy the process to get there. Thankfully,
• 34:20
  Speaker 16: I enjoy the process to get there, even though some
• 34:23
  Speaker 16: stories I've come up with and I just think to myself, Okay,
• 34:26
  Speaker 16: I just want I have this dot. I want to
• 34:31
  Speaker 16: magically have the thoughts in my brain put on paper.
• 34:35
  Speaker 15: It's hard. Yes, that's what you should. You should have
• 34:37
  Speaker 15: a dictation machine, one of those old fashioned wiss just
• 34:40
  Speaker 15: talking to that'd be kind of cool on your desk.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Oh, for sure.
• 34:44
  Speaker 16: I have, yes, and I have several. Sometimes driving really
• 34:49
  Speaker 16: really brings out ideas, so I have you know, you
• 34:52
  Speaker 16: can dictate now on your notes app on your phone
• 34:55
  Speaker 16: or they make apps for that. So I sometimes do
• 34:58
  Speaker 16: dictate scenes and stuff so I I get it out.
• 35:07
  Speaker 16: The idea is they come out, they flow through.
• 35:10
  Speaker 15: Well, you know, it's really weird that you mention that,
• 35:12
  Speaker 15: because I used That's how I made my spending money.
• 35:16
  Speaker 15: When I was in college. My side hustle was literally
• 35:20
  Speaker 15: proof reading and editing, and so you know everybody had
• 35:25
  Speaker 15: a PhD paper, master's thesis whatever it was a dollar page. Yeah,
• 35:31
  Speaker 15: I was pretty that was pretty cheap even for back then.
• 35:35
  Speaker 15: But I would run through and I would but then
• 35:38
  Speaker 15: you know, but it was like a physical you have
• 35:40
  Speaker 15: physical paper, and it wasn't they didn't give you a
• 35:43
  Speaker 15: thumb drive, okay, because there were no left there were
• 35:47
  Speaker 15: no computers like that. So that was my psychic and
• 35:52
  Speaker 15: I got used to it. I got really good at it.
• 35:53
  Speaker 15: And so you know, for me, the editing, the copy editing,
• 35:57
  Speaker 15: all of that stuff, that's I love to do that
• 36:01
  Speaker 15: rather than you know, the writing for me is like okay, yeah,
• 36:06
  Speaker 15: it's fun and everything, well, but having you know, sometimes
• 36:11
  Speaker 15: Brad Schlager will send me his columns for me to
• 36:14
  Speaker 15: proof read and I'll catch all of the all of
• 36:17
  Speaker 15: the mistakes and then I'll send them back to him
• 36:19
  Speaker 15: and then he'll have it published. And he's not the
• 36:23
  Speaker 15: only one that does that. So I had a friend
• 36:28
  Speaker 15: send me his book and I actually did all of
• 36:31
  Speaker 15: the editing and found all the mistakes and you know,
• 36:37
  Speaker 15: I did all the all the stuff and suggestions and
• 36:40
  Speaker 15: then I and I sent it back. But it was
• 36:42
  Speaker 15: actually you know, he sent me the manuscript itself. It
• 36:44
  Speaker 15: wasn't so that I could sit and read and highlight
• 36:47
  Speaker 15: and do all that stuff. So that was fun for me.
• 36:50
  Speaker 15: So if you needn't you know, if you need an
• 36:52
  Speaker 15: editor on the fly, I'm raising my hand right now.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 37:00
  Speaker 15: Yes, So anyway, the guys are really quiet writing.
• 37:05
  Speaker 14: On top of writing, and I've been watching the channel
• 37:10
  Speaker 14: in deep geek. I know, shocking, right, but.
• 37:13
  Speaker 17: Yeah, they talked about Tolkien a lot, and I'm absolutely
• 37:18
  Speaker 17: amazing at how much letter writing he did on top
• 37:22
  Speaker 17: of like the most epic books written.
• 37:26
  Speaker 14: I mean it's like in letter one fifty four with
• 37:30
  Speaker 14: you know, some housewife in Middlesex discussing your where the
• 37:35
  Speaker 14: ant wives, when I'm like, holy shit, I mean this guy,
• 37:37
  Speaker 14: like you're just even when he wasn't writing books, he
• 37:40
  Speaker 14: was writing and you know all the letters.
• 37:43
  Speaker 13: Between him and Cuss and just.
• 37:47
  Speaker 14: That's have absolutely a passion.
• 37:50
  Speaker 15: Yes it is, and you should do the same. Sit down,
• 37:54
  Speaker 15: write letters, send them to be them published. He'll be famous.
• 38:00
  Speaker 14: Chicken scratch. I couldn't even pass. I could pass for
• 38:03
  Speaker 14: a doctor lately.
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: Well that bad, you got bad, dude. That's what my
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, that's what my That's what my freshman English
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: teacher said to my mom. She was like, your son
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: should be a doctor. I can barely eat his handwriting.
• 38:15
  Speaker 18: I'm like, fuck you, I think because I created my
• 38:22
  Speaker 18: own font when I was in high school and used
• 38:24
  Speaker 18: it and everything, and it was really really pain in
• 38:28
  Speaker 18: the ass to write, especially if you weren't using a
• 38:30
  Speaker 18: uniball point five.
• 38:34
  Speaker 14: And ever since then, I'm just like, I've given up
• 38:37
  Speaker 14: on just even attempting to be ledule. I can read it,
• 38:40
  Speaker 14: and that's all that matters. There you go, But I
• 38:45
  Speaker 14: gotta fix that.
• 38:46
  Speaker 15: But you know, five hundred years from now, your manuscripts
• 38:49
  Speaker 15: will be you know, somebody will find these letters and
• 38:52
  Speaker 15: they'll be like, what does this mean? I mean seriously,
• 38:55
  Speaker 15: I mean, like what happened with Ethan Hawk. He was
• 38:57
  Speaker 15: looking through his great grandmother's stuff and finds the rubric.
• 39:00
  Speaker 15: He had to take it to a university to have
• 39:04
  Speaker 15: them decipher what was it.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: This writing thing is just a new fad. It'll fade
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: away and we'll go all back to.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're pretty much there now. We're already pretty
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: much back to hieroglyphics via text, so it will be
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: too much longer to ro back to Keith.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: This is true.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: This is true, all right, So believe it or not,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: Folks were already two thirds of the way through. So, Aggie,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: do you have a drink?
• 39:30
  Speaker 14: I do.
• 39:30
  Speaker 15: Actually, our beloved girl Problems is prefers a mocktail, and
• 39:36
  Speaker 15: I found a really refreshing one.
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: So what you're saying, So what you're saying is you're
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: keeping and Andrews stem if can't have alcohol right now?
• 39:44
  Speaker 15: That's right. It is dry January after all, too, So
• 39:47
  Speaker 15: I figured that's what I know, incentivized people to know
• 39:51
  Speaker 15: such animal.
• 39:52
  Speaker 14: What do you think that's the shortest month?
• 39:59
  Speaker 15: You think, well, yeah, I mean, but people look about
• 40:03
  Speaker 15: that too.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: I want to know how can we don't have a
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: wet one? We do?
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: Okay, I want to know why Andrew earned one, so
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: I had to give you to him.
• 40:22
  Speaker 15: So tonight, Flybatient is It comes via Da Garden, who
• 40:27
  Speaker 15: everybody knows as the Barefoot Contessa, And she came up
• 40:31
  Speaker 15: with this pomegranate spritzer which is very refreshing, and she
• 40:35
  Speaker 15: said you can actually add a little vodka to it
• 40:38
  Speaker 15: if you like kick. But this is her standard for
• 40:43
  Speaker 15: you know, when she's entertaining and she doesn't know if
• 40:46
  Speaker 15: people drink or not. You're going to take two cups
• 40:50
  Speaker 15: of chilled sparkling water. Like Pellegrino or whatever your favorite
• 40:55
  Speaker 15: brand is. Two tablespoons of pomegranate juice. Two tablespoons of
• 41:00
  Speaker 15: fresh squeezed lime juice. I can never stress this enough.
• 41:03
  Speaker 15: Don't get the don't get the green model. Get lines
• 41:07
  Speaker 15: and squeeze them yourself and you can get some. Believe
• 41:13
  Speaker 15: it or not, stores carry this.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 41:15
  Speaker 15: The pomegranate seeds, they carry them in the you know,
• 41:19
  Speaker 15: produce section, so you don't actually have to buy the
• 41:22
  Speaker 15: whole pomegranate. You can just buy the pomegrand seeds and
• 41:25
  Speaker 15: get lime slices, and that's for your garnishing. This recipe
• 41:32
  Speaker 15: actually serves four or two if you prefer to use
• 41:36
  Speaker 15: tall glasses, because it's supposed to look like a little cosmo.
• 41:41
  Speaker 15: So you would place your glasses in the freezer for
• 41:44
  Speaker 15: about thirty minutes, make them really well chilled, and you're
• 41:47
  Speaker 15: going to pour the part the water, the juice, and
• 41:50
  Speaker 15: the lime juice into a large picture. You add some
• 41:54
  Speaker 15: ice cubes and you stir for about half a minute,
• 41:57
  Speaker 15: and then you strain the mixture into the glasses and
• 42:01
  Speaker 15: some you know, like I said, if you prefer in
• 42:03
  Speaker 15: tall glasses, you can add ice and pour that in
• 42:07
  Speaker 15: and then garnish with the pomgranate seeds and the lime
• 42:10
  Speaker 15: wheels and enjoy it.
• 42:14
  Speaker 16: That sounds really good.
• 42:16
  Speaker 15: It does. Actually, I'm like, do I have? And the
• 42:19
  Speaker 15: thing is I bought a bottle of pomegranate juice like
• 42:22
  Speaker 15: last week because my brother in law really liked it,
• 42:25
  Speaker 15: but he didn't touch it, so I might I might
• 42:28
  Speaker 15: do that tonight. But yes, that's our dry January drink of.
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say I'd adding I would be adding some
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: Tito's or something on of protest for this dried January.
• 42:47
  Speaker 15: Well, like I said, you can add like, you know,
• 42:51
  Speaker 15: vodka to it, but I would add a clear, flavorless
• 42:57
  Speaker 15: you know, like a crystal rum or a.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say, unless you're doing that, unless you're
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: drinking actual Polish vodka. Vodka is not flavorless, man.
• 43:08
  Speaker 15: I do actually drink Polish vodka?
• 43:13
  Speaker 12: Or did you drink vodka like Polish?
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: And the reason I mentioned Polish vodka is I figured
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: it was half pass segue Andrew. We got four polls
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: to get through in fifteen minutes? Can we do it?
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 43:28
  Speaker 12: It all depends, It all depends. We're not going to
• 43:30
  Speaker 12: cover I can cover last month. But let's just cover
