• 13:07
  Speaker 1: it's lobbin notation. And it's trying to show, like written

  Speaker 1: out what the dancing looks like. And so it's like
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: a rectangle means like this is where they're standing still
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: with a new color in this part, and like because
• 13:21

• 17:12
  Speaker 1: think I read recently that the actors who were in
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: it basically got nothing, oh really, because you know, like
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: it was a small budget film, so they got part
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: of that sixty thousand, and then when the movie exploded,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: they got to do some interviews and gotta have some
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: you know, like fifteen minutes of fame. But they didn't
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: get any money. And I'm always whenever you hear stuff
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: like that, it's like, come on, guys, Yeah, you made
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: two hundred and forty eight million dollars. You couldn't give
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: each of those because of what like three main actors
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: or whatever. You wouldn't give them each a million dollars,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: and then you're left with two hundred and forty five
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: million dollars.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know, it's it's an industry.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: Have you seen it?
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so when it.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: Came out, Oh yeah, did you think it was real?
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: I don't think I thought it was real, but it
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: does a good job of making you believe what's happening,
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: and so therefore it's creepier, you know.
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: No, I just remember that huge push to be like,
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: this is real, This is real, this is real. And
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: I don't like horror films, so I didn't see it,
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: but I was just like, it's not real. It's a movie.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: And then, you know, because I don't know if you
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: had any friends, but I definitely had some friends who
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: are like, no, no friends in general, and I named

  Speaker 1: them Buddy and John. I had friends who were like, no,

  Speaker 1: they say, it's real. It is real. This is a
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: real thing.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: It's on TV. Do you have to believe it?
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: So? Did anyone argue that to you? Or not so much? Okay?
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I don't remember exactly every conversation I had back then,
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: but I didn't have very many because I didn't have
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: any friends. This episode got pretty real, but not Blair.
