  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Hey everyone, it's Justin here, Voices for Voices.
• 0:05
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Thank you so much for joining us on this episode and then all the episodes over 380.
• 0:14
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We are making our way towards that magic 400 episode total number by the end of uh calendar year 2025.
• 0:25
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh over a hundred uh countries and provinces, territories, and a thousand cities across the world.
• 0:34
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It's because of you that we have a show, that we have an audience, and it's because of you we are here, especially for this show.
• 0:44
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: This is a very uh time-sensitive story uh episode that we we are doing.
• 0:54
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um and so we have uh well, not even other background about it.
• 1:01
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So let me just hop in.
• 1:02
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So we have our our guests with us, uh David Solomon.
• 1:06
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I'm gonna do a lead-in uh from why this episode is so important for us at this moment in time.
• 1:16
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And David is gonna add uh a lot more to that uh to this this story.
• 1:25
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So uh last week uh was my 44th birthday on December 11th.
• 1:32
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: On December 10th, uh, 2025, there was a story that dropped in uh overseas in in uh in Europe, and I'm just gonna read the title verbatim, uh Dracula Land, new 1 billion euro theme park destination plan for Romania.
• 1:57
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And as a well, as I was when I was younger, I appreciated theme parks a lot more.
• 2:06
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I I get um I don't I get I don't want to say maybe I get a little sick ride in the rides now, but uh nonetheless, uh having family, uh that's that's sometimes where we end up on vacation, and and so this this definitely caught the interest of us as an organization, and just me as a person, David as a person, as a father, husband, uh um all all the all the things.
• 2:40
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And on the outside, uh you know, they got this you know big, big grand uh entrance with with this uh this title.
• 2:52
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Like, oh wow, like Dracula land, land for Romania, Transylvania, and then you go through and you you read a little bit more and a little bit more, and and then you get to like these different um I guess these different lands that they they uh that the the the individuals with the vision uh are calling them.
• 3:17
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And we get to uh we get to number two, and it's it's called uh family kingdom, but it's followed by mythical creatures around the world.
• 3:32
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so that's where we have a little bit of uh little bit of an issue.
• 3:38
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um number one, uh David Solomon, who's on our show uh as uh as the subject matter expert in this area, uh he is and has been the holy 100% owner operator of uh mythical creatures around the world.
• 4:03
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And what David does, as any business owner does, is he saw that and was like, wait, all right, I wasn't consulted, we weren't consulted, and this is a thing where people somewhere, some organizations somewhere, some something fell through the cracks, whether intentionally or unintentionally, thinking that number one, mythical mythical creatures around the world is open source information, open source data, meaning that anybody can go to that uh mythical creatures around the world Facebook page, and then just lift up verbatim and plagiarize into books, into lots of things, and in this case, into a theme park.
• 5:05
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And and so David uh did his due diligence, he called up the art architecture firm, he talked to the actual individual who is responsible for this, and had a deeper conversation.
• 5:22
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: But before we hand over to David, what I want to do is I want to just cover things from a legal standpoint because there's questions that have arisen, and I'm sure there'll be more questions that may arise.
• 5:37
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so that's why we are doing this episode, and you're gonna see a simultaneous drop of a uh 10-minute video where I detail a lot of what I'm I'm gonna be sharing here.
• 5:55
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So I'm not gonna read the entire entire agreement, but all you need to know is voices for voices.
• 6:07
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Actually, well, you need to know here we go, is mythical creatures around the world is now fully owned by voices for voices, and so you know, there's a whole lot of you know legal jargon that kind of goes in into that, and and so that's where we have a little bit of an issue.
• 6:29
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh, not it's not a little issue, it's a big issue.
• 6:32
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um and so I wasn't consulted, but uh David wasn't consulted either.
• 6:40
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Nobody on our teams were consulted, and that's very problematic when we're in the business world where everybody's out to make a buck, everybody's out to uh sometimes impersonate uh their competition and think that nobody's gonna find out.
• 7:00
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um there there's been conjecture where uh I was going to be contacted and travel and and and meet individuals in different areas of the world because of this, thinking that David and I don't collaborate and and work together like on a day-to-day basis.
• 7:26
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So I just want to end this part of my uh my part of this segment by saying that uh whoever thought that was a thousand percent wrong that we collaborate.
• 7:40
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And and I just want to reiterate that whether whether or not there is a C for copyright, a TM for trademark, or an R for registration, uh under the United States and Patent and Trade Office, which voices for voices is covered under mythical creatures around the world, whether any of those designations are either before mythical or at the end of the world.
• 8:13
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um so whether implied or stated, mythical creatures around the world is owned by voices for voices.
• 8:22
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And we did not approve this uh this rendering of Dracula land of the mythical creatures around the world, the the the family land too.
• 8:33
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And I just wanted to end my part by saying that, and what comes with that is potential uh legal proceedings uh for anyone that knowingly or unknowingly um made these decisions because when you make a decision, you're talking about a billion euro, a billion US dollars, a billion anything.
• 9:03
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh a lot of planning goes into it.
• 9:05
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So you would think that uh there would have been some contact made and there wasn't.
• 9:11
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so that's why we're here today.
• 9:12
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We're here to clear the air, and I want to now pass the microphone over to David.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: So I was just talking to the architect just now as we were making that video.
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Um Hi everyone, I'm David Solomon, CEO of Mythical Creatures Around the World.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: And I'm gonna make this real quick.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: It has come to my attention that someone has been impersonating mythical creatures around the world, and I just wanted to come on here and basically say Voices for Voices owns mythical.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Um, and I own it.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: I am the sole owner, but Voices for Voices is uh is the the co-owner and it you know trademarked under Voices for Voices mythical creatures around the world.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: So those of you who want to plagiarize and go against mythical, you might want to think again.
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: I want to bring to the attention the following.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Um two days ago uh an article came out by Mark Wade, Action Comics 1093, which rewrites Clark Kent's early history, placing him under the command of the U.S.
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: Army.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: The story returns to Clark Kent's teenage years in Smallville as he operates under Superboy, but then is made to be recruited by General Sam Lane to be called Project Super Soldier, and even went on to design his own uniform as a hybrid super soldier, changing the origin forever of Superman.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: This was two days ago.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: This arc is very controversy, changing the original ideas and idealism of Superman to a more controversial military version as a teenager, making him almost a James Bond.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: The reason that's important.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Well, I'm glad you asked.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: So in 2013, when I started Mythical, I created a pilot for the CW that was gonna be a spin-off of Arrow.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: And it was Clark Kent, 17 years old with this exact costume, and he was recruited by General Sam Lane to be a military spy at the age of seventeen codenamed Super Soldier.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: The series was outlined for about five seasons.
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: Boy Boy.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: And those concepts.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know him, but he does know my mentor.
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: And so I'm gonna I'm gonna play it real nice.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Give me credit for what I'm doing and I won't get ugly.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Okay those are my concepts.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: That's my art you're using or design art.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: So word for word, verbatim, story to story is mine.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: If you're gonna use my story, give me credit.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: Mythical creatures around the world was impersonated by Stephen Rhymers, Christy McKees, uh, let's see here, Nicole Rymers, um, Brian Davis, a whole bunch of people saying they're mythical creatures around the world.
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: And I'm not here to be rude or anything.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: I just want it to stop.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: I work my butt off every day to get projects in.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I'm always on the phone, I'm always doing things.
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: Justin's seen it firsthand, I'm always negotiating deals and getting things going.
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: My wife is busy being editor and and mother and and and and you know, tending to the household in ways I can't.
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: And with being a newborn father, also I have that to juggle.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I don't need to wake up to Superman on my screen of plagiarizing.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: And then I woke up that same day to mythical creatures in Dracula Land, a theme park.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: So this is a video to show that mythical creatures around the world is in ownership of Voices for Voices.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Therefore, the other person I would like to bring forward is Mindy Joy Davis of Chicago uh Illinois.
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: I believe she's near Springfield.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: I'll have to pull that up.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: But she has also impersonated mythical creatures around the world for the last time.
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: And in saying that, you know, she is friends with mythical and you know, wants the best for mythical, these people that want to be a part of mythical and have nothing to do with it.
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Now, um it's come to my attention that someone impersonated mythical for money.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: And that's not okay either.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: And so they're trying to get money out of it.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: That it doesn't work that way.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I'm kind of dead.
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: I'm kind of dead.
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Um you know, we we gotta come to a better understanding here of what we're doing with mythical.
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: Like there's a circle of people that run mythical.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: And by understanding, I mean understanding that we are that circle and and we know what we're doing, and and you guys, and when I say you, not the listeners, but people saying they are us.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we gotta come to an understanding that those who say they're mythical and don't run mythical need to get out of the way of mythical because you impersonated mythical, including Mindy Joy Davis.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Summer sure rather man.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: You know, I put a lot of hard work into mythical for over almost 12 years now, 13.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: So, you know, uh if someone tries to impersonate uh mythical, furthermore, mythical creatures is also a ministry.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: Someone said we were secular, we're a ministry like Charlie Kirk.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: That doesn't mean we're copying Charlie Kirk, that means we're carrying on that legacy.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Let me explain.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: So I was anointed at the age of six to uh bring people to God and unite, as God said to mom culture.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: And that is what mythical is it is being that uniter and not that divider.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: And in the words of a friend that I wrote his speech, meeting that moment.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: Meeting that moment of the divide that we have as a country, as a nation, or as a state, or as a city, or as the world.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: And creating the stories that talk to countries that hate God.
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: And uniting those four fronts together and becoming allies instead of enemies and turning enemies into allies.
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: Being the change for this uh world and not being the darkness that is clouding this world, but being the light that shines through.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Mythical creatures around the world does have a theme part that it's making.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: This will be a part of it, but we will have credit now and we will have say in this part going forward.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: This was a huge mistake by someone impersonating.
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: But thank you for letting me know.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Kudos to the architect team in Transylvania and Ukraine.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: I would have never known.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: It's so sad that we have to come to this moment to to do this.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: It's just sad.
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: It saddens me.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I am grateful for everybody who follows mythical.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: I am grateful for people who are loyal.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I will be writing the stories for generations.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: And my son now is gonna follow my wife.
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Others It's a family ministry and a family business, and that is what it's gonna be.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I am gonna say that I am gonna go after Mark Wade and the Superman clause.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Because even though Superman is not part of a mythical per se, that storyline is, and I am gonna use it.
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: Now if this continues and I can't get anywhere with DC, I am gonna link the original drawing and decrease of the comic they just dropped.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: And they are copyrighted and registered by me and my mom in 2013.
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: August Sound DC comics talk to me.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Maybe we can make a deal.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: I just want credit.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: I also know there's a person who is notorious for not giving people credit for their creation.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: Did I cover it?
• 22:00
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Yeah, you you covered it really well, and I I just wanna just add to it in the uh you and your mom did those originals, and so basically it's like doubly copyrighted and trademarked because you trademarked it and copyrighted at that time, and then it's now grandfathered into voices for voices, so there's two times the um I guess copyright infringement would be probably the words I would use for that.
• 22:43
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So that's all this is a big deal.
• 22:47
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh I know it might not seem like it to some of our viewers and listeners, uh, but when you get into the world of developing and creating, and as David mentioned, putting every ounce of his being and his mom's being and his family's being that now ours, that it really it's like a slap in the face when when somebody kind of goes behind their back and and does something like this.
• 23:20
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And some people say, well, how are we how are we to know?
• 23:26
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh you say that whether knowingly or unknowingly, well, if you know the mythical creatures around the world exist, or you know that this particular Superman script exists, and you still go ahead and do that thing that you're doing, shame on you, you know, once, but when you go and do it unknowingly, okay, this is this is the whole point of trademarking, is so you can have a legal representative, a real legal representative, do the due diligence.
• 24:11
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And this is something that I didn't appreciate until probably right now, when through all the all the legal ease we from voices for voices and mythical and uh voice for voices publishing and production and and all the all the others, the house of you.
• 24:31
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I didn't really appreciate when I would get these charges from my attorneys uh about these searches, and I'm like, why am I paying X amount for these searches?
• 24:48
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And now it makes complete sense because they wanted to make sure that first of all they didn't want to sign off on something and have their names behind it if it was already out there, and number two, they were covering their client, which is me and David, and Amanda, and Ryan, and Blake, and Leanna, and in our you know, the circle, and and uh the so shame on everybody involved that let this get to this point from the Superman aspect with DC.
• 25:33
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You have the money, you have the resources in place, so you can't say, Oh, well, we just forgot, we didn't think about it, and oh, I don't know how these just you know they look very similar, like 99.9 percent.
• 25:50
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um that that doesn't fly.
• 25:54
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Same thing when you put a uh a theme park vision out, it's meant to you know kind of shock the world in a sense of like, whoa, this is a big deal, and so throughout all that planning, all those meetings, all those travel uh plans and Zoom meetings or Teams meetings or whatever, shame on you for not doing your due diligence and looking up about mythical creatures because we know you did because in Family Land number two, especially the words and the terms that are used, you can find them all over mythical creatures around the world, so you can't lie yourself out of that either.
• 27:00
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And yeah, we're gonna have conversations and we're gonna do the best for our organizations, and that's how we're gonna handle this.
• 27:13
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Because when somebody again, nobody has reached out to us and said, Hey, I'm sorry, sorry we did this.
• 27:24
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh no, none of it.
• 27:27
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We have to go this route, which is our strategy, is we're fighting fire with fire.
• 27:34
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It's like, okay, you're gonna pull this.
• 27:36
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Well, we're gonna put some we're gonna put some heavy content out, and there's gonna be people all across the world that are gonna know all about this.
• 27:45
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So not only is this show going out all over the world, there is a 10-minute video explaining the how we brought and uh how we brought mythical creatures around the world into the voices for voices umbrella, still to be operated on the day-to-day by David and his family and his wishes.
• 28:13
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: But from that copyright perspective, we knew something like this would happen, and this is exactly why we did it, because it's when you least expect it, they call it like the quiet before the storm, where you know, kind of there's radio silence for a period of time, and then bam, all of a sudden, something like this hits, and then something like the Superman hits.
• 28:43
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And that is it's number one, it's inappropriate.
• 28:48
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So shame on DC Comics, no matter how this shakes out, shame on you, shame on every individual that had even a little ounce from the interns all the way up to the senior executives to the people that are funding uh this Dracula Land.
• 29:11
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Every single one of you are complicit.
• 29:14
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It's the implied complicit of being part of something that you did not do your due diligence.
• 29:22
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You just blindly put money towards, and you said, Oh wow, this this this sounds great.
• 29:29
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Oh yeah, there's this uh you know, there's a Facebook group with almost a hundred thousand followers.
• 29:35
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So um yeah, it looks like it's an open source uh type of deal.
• 29:40
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So we're just gonna take from what they have, and uh we know that we know that that's not that's not the way we we do things.
• 29:51
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: As David mentioned, his whole life has been about unity, bringing people together, not dividing people, culture, not politics, and we're infusing that with voices for voices in that same manner of we want to spend the time on earth helping people, we don't want to hurt people.
• 30:13
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And guess what?
• 30:15
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: If if you break the law, we can still love you as individuals, but you still have to pay for what you did or what you didn't do.
• 30:24
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It doesn't let you off the hook, like, oh well, we we you know, we forgive you and we're just gonna no, we're not.
• 30:32
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We're not gonna let we're not letting you off the hook.
• 30:35
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So um let this be an example.
• 30:38
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Unfortunately, we've had a lot of examples the last few months.
• 30:43
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh, but let this be another example to anyone out there watching, listening, who this is shared with, screenshot it, uh whether the you know, the 10-minute pub public relations announcement that I get, you know, these are gonna be dropping very close in time.
• 31:02
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And let this be an example that you can't do these things, whether how big you are or how powerful you are, you think you are.
• 31:16
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: There is, we were told over and over again when Donald J.
• 31:21
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Trump was running for office, nobody is above the law.
• 31:25
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Okay.
• 31:26
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Well, same applies here.
• 31:30
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Nobody's above the law here.
• 31:33
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So we're not gonna be, oh, we're sorry, we didn't mean to do no, no, no.
• 31:38
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It doesn't work like that.
• 31:40
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So we're just coming out, we're we're clearing the air, we're letting our followers, our supporters, whether you're you're just watching and listening, or whether you're a donor, or whether you are a sponsor, uh, we're just clearing the air, making sure everybody's aware of what's going on, and that we were not born yesterday.
• 32:03
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We are not stupid, we are not dumb, we are not whatever the words that others want to use.
• 32:10
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We were we want to bring people together, we want to unite people, which is what we're doing, and that's probably the problem that may be arising here is well, they're you know helping people, and well, we're just gonna do these big massive things, and yeah, they're not gonna be able to do anything.
• 32:31
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Well, nobody's above the law, and as I mentioned, uh, I'm just gonna share this one last one last time here before we close out the episode.
• 32:42
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You can see it here.
• 32:45
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: This is a at the background.
• 32:48
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Mythical creatures around the world is a subsidiary of voices for voices, and so let's let that just sink in.
• 32:59
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um, that's just the way it is.
• 33:02
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It may upset you, may make you mad, may uh, but it doesn't matter.
• 33:08
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: There's a lot of things that make me mad, make me upset, make me uh uh I don't know, uh just go, oh man, I wish things would be a little bit different here.
• 33:21
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: But I can't change everything.
• 33:23
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I'm not God.
• 33:24
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: There is one God, and Jesus Christ was the perfect one, nobody else is perfect, and we know we're not perfect.
• 33:31
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: But what we can do as individuals, we can, no matter how small we are, that we are mighty and we are united, and we will help those three billion plus people over the course of my lifetime and beyond.
• 33:48
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You can rest assured of that.
• 33:50
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: That is happening.
• 33:51
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We are gonna reach episode number 400 by the end of calendar 2025.
• 34:00
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: That's a hundred-episode increase of our original goal.
• 34:05
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So, right when you underestimate us is probably not the best time.
• 34:12
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um, and I know I went a little bit um on the soapbox here, but both David and I and others associated with Voices for Voices admitted, and we're very passionate with what we do because there's so much need in the world for people needing a shoulder to rest their head on, a bed, a bed to rest their head on, a warming center, when the temperatures are like they are in the negative degrees.
• 34:47
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And those things can only happen when we're helping people, not when we're shunning people or turning people away, we're taking what we think's ours, and uh that that that just isn't gonna fly.
• 35:03
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And unfortunately, this is just gonna have to be another example.
• 35:08
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh, and you know, Brian and Mindy and Steve, Steven, among others, seems like the same individuals tend to keep popping up for each each uh each each infraction, we'll call it.
• 35:29
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And again, either you're on the side of trying to do the good in the right thing, or you're not.
• 35:38
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: There's like David said many times before, he sees the world very black and white.
• 35:43
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You're either for good or you're against good, and so that's kind of how it goes.
• 35:49
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So either so if you're for mythical mythical creatures around the world, you're gonna do your darndest to remedy the situation.
• 35:56
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Okay, if you're not for good, you're not.
• 36:03
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: You're just gonna, you know, pretend like nobody, like la la la la la la, nobody's talking, I'm not I'm not hearing anybody.
• 36:12
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh and so then you know, then decisions have to be made, and uh it's it's it's very unfortunate.
• 36:24
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh but we we we have taken the right precautions as an organization and organizations that um I know that God put that in both David's heart and Amanda's and Ryan's and mine, that we were able to to make this happen because if not, there could be other uh other consequences.
• 36:56
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: But because we foresaw what was happening and what could potentially happen, and we can't read crystal balls, but we were darn sure or darn sure not darn sure, but uh darn close of reading this one pretty well that there was probably gonna be somebody or someone at some point that will were gonna try to lift up mythical creatures around the world content, verbatim, which means it's plagiarized, which means it's not an original idea.
• 37:36
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And if you can't come up with original ideas, you shouldn't be writing.
• 37:41
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: That's okay.
• 37:42
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: There's a lot of other professions out there, but if that's your way of going about writing, you may want to look at a different profession, and that's why the the great thing about David and and Ryan and his wife Amanda when they write, it's an original idea.
• 38:00
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: They'll bring folklores in from the the local uh the cities and the townships and the areas, and and it brings that flavor in, but it's not a one-for-one lift of exactly this and exactly that, and all 200 pages match exactly somewhere else on the web.
• 38:27
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So we're very uh we're we're very we're very disappointed that it has come to this and that this has happened.
• 38:40
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Uh but uh we we can't, yeah.
• 38:45
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: What happens from here, we you know, only God knows what what's what's gonna happen.
• 38:50
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Um and so that's why we put this episode together.
• 38:55
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: We feel like we always do that our fans, our followers, our supporters, uh people watching from near, people watching from far, uh, that that they see an uh organization and organizations that uh are being transparent and upfront.
• 39:13
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And that's all anybody can hope from from an organization is wow, you know, I I heard about this and it took six months to hear something, versus I heard about this and two or three days go by, and now we're hearing action and concrete action, not just oh, this isn't a good thing to do.
• 39:38
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: So rest assured there will be action taken.
• 39:42
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: That action will be taken on our terms, not yours.
• 39:45
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And David, thank you so much for uh being on this this episode and and going going into depth because it's it's very important because you you hold a lot of that uh Additional knowledge about Superman and how those connections with DC are.

• 41:10
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And uh it's it's people like David that uh are stepping out from under the the darkness into the light, who is truly helping people at least feel like, okay, maybe I don't maybe I can't share on a show my experience, but maybe maybe you have a few more hours uh doing what you want to do.
• 41:40
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: I don't know, maybe maybe you want to read a story, maybe you you want to uh do do some art or write a song, and all those things we we look at as healing and things that are helpful.
• 41:56
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And uh without people like David uh and and other survivors, uh we you know, we we couldn't do what we're we're we're doing without him, and for uh mythical creatures around the world, uh you know, David draws his own art, he puts the folklore and myths together, uh all around, he writes songs, he writes screenplays, he writes TV shows, as he was mentioned, how many seasons he had uh had uh outlined and and the treatments.
• 42:35
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It's just incredible.
• 42:36
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: He acts out every single act, every single character in in each uh each uh each story, which is just incredible.
• 42:48
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And while we end this on a high note, David, can you just talk a little bit about that?
• 42:51
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: How uh what got you started acting out the you know characters throughout the book and how that's helped your creative process?
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: I've done that since six years old.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Um before I write anything, I have to act it out.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: All the characters, I have to know what they wear, you know.
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: What they sound like, what they look like, what does the atmosphere look like, you know.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: That's just how I work, that's how I do it.
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: I I have to act out every little thing.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 43:33
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Yeah.
• 43:33
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And so that's how David, he how he uh that's his process doesn't mean it has to be your your process.
• 43:41
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It like you said, he's he's been doing this from a very young age, and that that was that was how things got started.
• 43:49
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: It's just incredible.
• 43:51
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And why don't we why don't we end on another h positive thing?
• 43:56

• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just amazing.

• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Humbled.
• 44:38
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: Absolutely.
• 44:39
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And it's because of you and Amanda giving him giving Ryan kind of that autonomy, and so it was you know his his idea kind of from from from day one.
• 44:51
  Voices for Voices, Justin Alan Hayes: And I think there's a lot of a lot of people, a lot of parents, a lot of guard guardians that you know we all we all have different ways how we parent, and that's very important that he that Ryan felt that he could do that, even being in a family that is uh you know rights and and creates at such a high level, not thinking, oh, am I gonna be good enough?
