She is an author.
She's stuck.

19
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,520
She was stuck on a train for two
hours.

Let's see.

53
00:02:53,920 --> 00:02:56,000
As we always do, we start off
with the sad news.

54
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,400
So we have have two bits of sad
news.

55
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,680
Actor Cory Parker died recently
of cancer while Corey was in a

56
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:06,000
handful of movies and TV shows.
He is perhaps best known for his

57
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,560
role of John Morgan, the ships
doctor for 25 episodes in the

58
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:13,400
Robert Ulrich Urich LED Love
Boat, the next wave, which ran

59
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:17,840
from 1998 to 1999 and which I
remember him the most as Neil

60
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,640
Barrage in the Fox series Flying
Blind, which ran for 22 episodes

61
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:25,880
from 1992 to 1993.
I was a big fan of the Fox shows

62
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,960
when they first came out because
that was that was the hip and

63
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,920
coolest thing to do because back
in the day, for the people who

64
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:32,840
don't know, there was only three
networks back in the day.

65
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,880
And then Fox came along and they
had all the edgy and and and

66
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,280
crazy stuff.
And I distinctly remember Flying

67
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,800
Blind was supposed to be some
wacky crazy comedy about about a

68
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,440
straight man and the flighty
girl.

69
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,920
So it was basically like Dharma
and Greg, but that was their

70
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,480
version and he played the Greg
character of Dharma and Greg

71
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,280
Kelly.
Do you remember that show Flying

72
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,040
Blind by any chance?
No, no.

73
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,280
But you mentioned something
about The Love Boat that's.

74
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,200
The new one, The Love Boat, the
next wave.

75
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,040
When they.
When they brought that back.

76
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,080
I don't remember the old wave.
The old wave.

77
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,760
That was my thing, right?
Right after Fantasy Island.

78
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,600
Yes, Yes.
You never watched The Love Boat?

79
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:11,920
Yeah.
No.

80
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,120
Do they have love?
Vote Now 2026 I'm sure.

81
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:16,600
I don't think so.
I don't think they have.

82
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,279
I feel like if they did, there
would be like all these like

83
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,720
polyamorous relationships.
I just have to say because I'm,

84
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:23,960
I'm 42.
Listen, I'm not going in a lewd

85
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:26,120
direction, OK?
I'm, I'm 42.

86
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,920
I'm a gun Christian woman.
You know that I've been around a

87
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,520
lot of people in their 20s
recently and I've been

88
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,600
enlightened by the people 20
years younger than me that

89
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,640
polyamory is like normal thing
in that generation.

90
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,520
And this is new to me this week.
It's, it's very, very

91
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,680
fascinating.
So The Love Boat would probably

92
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,760
be a polyamorous boat if it was
made $0.23.

93
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,800
That's what I have to say.
He was 60 years old.

94
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,840
Well, they'll they'll throw into
that, you know, I think now they

95
00:04:53,840 --> 00:04:56,880
have like reality shows that
pretty much will take over those

96
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,560
kind of sex, you know, TV shows
or whatnot.

97
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,160
You know, you have so much like
reality, you know, Love on the

98
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:05,040
Island and all those other
things as I see nowadays on

99
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,120
Netflix especially, I don't
watch it right.

100
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:09,360
You just know of it.
I just see that.

101
00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,080
Yeah, yeah.
But you know, but there's your,

102
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,600
you know, I mean, love, you
know, love boat right there, you

103
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:19,240
know, basically.
So last of the sad news Last of

104
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:24,200
the sad news actress Jennifer
reunion reunion RUNYON Runion

105
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,840
Runion also died recently, also
from cancer, while she was also

106
00:05:27,840 --> 00:05:29,240
in a handful of movies and TV
shows.

107
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,720
Pierced perhaps best known for
her roles as Cindy Brady in the

108
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:36,680
1998 reunion movie A Very Brady
Christmas, and she also played

109
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,840
and the female lead in the 1993
film Connoisseur and What I

110
00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:44,880
remember her as Gwendolyn Pierce
in 18 episodes of the sitcom

111
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,600
Charles in charge from 1984 to
1990.

112
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,480
There are certain people that
you just kind of see around and

113
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,040
there's certain people that are
in a movie that they have a

114
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:54,840
little tiny role.
What's what's the saying?

115
00:05:54,840 --> 00:05:58,240
There's no such thing as a small
role, a small act of a small

116
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:58,960
role.
I forget the.

117
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,320
Saying yeah, I don't like the
saying, so I don't care.

118
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,840
So for those of you who watch
Ghostbusters, the original

119
00:06:04,840 --> 00:06:07,920
Ghostbusters movie, there was a
scene with Bill Murray and there

120
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:09,680
was a blonde girl in the
beginning when he's doing the

121
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,840
tarot card readings that that
was her.

122
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,440
So people are like, oh, her, but
she was more in other things.

123
00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,520
But that was people who can
remember her from that these.

124
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,960
People were 60 years old and 65.
65 years old, yeah.

125
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,240
Pretty young.
Yeah, it is.

126
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:23,680
And they got both got cancer,
which is.

127
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,440
Cancer is very rampant by the
way now.

128
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:28,320
Yes.
Yes, the rates are higher.

129
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,240
I'm very well aware of that.
So that's it for the sad news.

130
00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:35,520
So moving on to the not as sad
news from the That's a lot of

131
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,240
nuts.
The part the new Scream sequel

132
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,400
Part 7, for those of you keeping
track, has taken the number one

133
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:45,360
spot in domestic box office,
pulling in $63.6 million in

134
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,560
ticket sales in its first week
of release, beating out the

135
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,720
newly animated film Goat, which
came the number two spot, making

136
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,000
an additional $12 million in its
second week of release.

137
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,800
For those of you keeping track,
Avatar is still the highest

138
00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:57,920
grossing film of this year.
That's Avatar part three with

139
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:04,200
$401.7 million, followed by the
Zootopia sequel with $426.4

140
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,320
million.
Now, as I've been saying since

141
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,520
we've been doing the show this
year, because both of these

142
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,600
movies came out last year, the
numbers are slightly as you and

143
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:16,120
Avatar has made this year,
$151.4 million.

144
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:21,600
Zootopia has made $88.5 million.
Goat comes in at #2 with $76.5

145
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,160
million.
So those are the top 3 movies of

146
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,240
the year so far.
Jennifer, have you seen any of

147
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,120
those 3 movies?
No.

148
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,440
No, I don't know anything about
them but.

149
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,720
Kelly, have you seen them?
I did not see the Scream 7.

150
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,360
No, I have not.
But I did see goat with my son.

151
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:39,800
You know, I do have to say it
makes a good father and son trip

152
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:41,760
to go to the movies and watch
the goat.

153
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,480
You know that my son is sent to
he's at that age.

154
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:47,800
He's like around like 11 going
on 12 or I should say going 11

155
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,360
on on 25.
And either way, he's starting to

156
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,360
act nowadays.
But you know, he's sent to

157
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,640
basketball and kind of things
too as well and seeing like more

158
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,960
of like a character, like just
as the goat as you play it, you

159
00:07:59,960 --> 00:08:03,760
know, you know, such like a
slice of life growing up into,

160
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:07,600
you know, his main goal as a
character within, you know, the

161
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:10,760
development of him becoming the
goat and whatnot.

162
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,240
Me and my son definitely enjoyed
it.

163
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:15,760
It was a great movie.
And, you know, being animated as

164
00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,640
it was, you know, it's
definitely was a good watch for,

165
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,880
you know, for, you know, family
and stuff, things like.

166
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,320
That so would Kid Kelly also
have like that?

167
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,320
Kid Kelly.
Well, yeah, Yes, because I grew

168
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,760
up on the, you know, the golden
age of Saturday morning

169
00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:31,440
cartoons.
Plot me in front of the TV and

170
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:35,320
I'll be watching all that.
I'll be watching he Man, GI Joe,

171
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,600
The Smurfs, the whole 9.
I think I would enjoy it myself.

172
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,600
I mean, actually, it was a very
good story.

173
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,480
You know, the GOAT.
I really did enjoy it.

174
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,000
Scream Seven.
I remember seeing the first one.

175
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,760
Yeah, in theaters, the first
screen and that one, you know,

176
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:51,920
and you know, it was a
phenomenal age of movies where

177
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,160
they opened up a whole new
genre, you know, So I definitely

178
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,920
have to give it up.
Seven of them.

179
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,640
But hey, you know it, You know,
they do what they do.

180
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,320
People still do enjoy it, enjoy
the genre.

181
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,000
Why not go for it?
What about?

182
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,840
Zootopia.
I haven't seen Zootopia yet.

183
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,560
I didn't see, I only think I saw
partial Part 1, but you know,

184
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:14,920
but I think there's still, you
know, comparing it to go, you

185
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,200
know, animals walking around
like humans.

186
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:21,200
Oh my God, two legged animals.
No, I think they will still

187
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,040
enjoy it.
I did see I did see Zootopia

188
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:27,120
Part 2 for the first Utopia.
I thought the first Utopia was a

189
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,560
superior movie, but this one was
still entertaining enough.

190
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:35,840
It's, well, I think I like.
It so Speaking of.

191
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,800
Screams Moving on from the
screaming again department, none

192
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,320
other than Neve Campbell has
returned for Scream 7 and

193
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,600
according to reports has
received a $7,000,000 deal to

194
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,640
return.
Executive says Neve Gamble is to

195
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,360
scream when Jamie Lee Curtis is
to the original Halloween

196
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:55,920
franchise.
She is a big drawer, especially

197
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:58,280
for older generations who grew
up with the original films.

198
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:00,720
Now for those of you who don't
care or weren't paying

199
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,160
attention, Neve was absent from
Scream 6 due to negotiations

200
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:08,080
breaking down to the point where
she went to social media to say

201
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,280
that the company didn't respect
her at the time, she said as.

202
00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,720
A woman.
I have had to work extremely

203
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,920
hard in my career to establish
my value, especially when it

204
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,360
comes to Scream.
I felt the offer that was

205
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:22,400
presented to me did not equate
to the value I have brought to

206
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,400
the franchise so.
The studios moved on without

207
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,400
her, and as reported on a
previous episode of the show,

208
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:32,480
Scream 6 had the biggest box
office intake of the franchise

209
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,920
since the original came out.
So that's like, well, I guess we

210
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,080
don't need her after all.
But then the celebration was

211
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:42,440
short lived as actresses Melissa
Barrett was fired over social

212
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,120
media messages.
Co star General Ortega announced

213
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,600
that she was no longer
returning, citing, quote,

214
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,680
scheduling conflicts.
The director Christopher Landon

215
00:10:51,680 --> 00:10:56,160
left the project and the studio
spent an additional $500,000 on

216
00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,680
script rewrites and without its
two leads.

217
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,000
They came with their tail
between their legs, then went

218
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:02,920
back to Nevada to come back from
Part 7.

219
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:06,480
Experts say initially it was
thought that the momentum from

220
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:08,120
the two previous films could be
lost.

221
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,200
And there's a certainly a
section of the audience that is

222
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,120
upset about who is not coming
back.

223
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:15,520
But now the pendulum, the
swinging and driving a lot of

224
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,000
interest about how certain
characters are coming back now,

225
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,680
Jennifer, you remember, do you
remember?

226
00:11:19,680 --> 00:11:23,160
We were talking about how Nevs
her ground and she was like, I'm

227
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,160
not going to come back because.
And.

228
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:28,920
Then the gangbusters.
So well I guess she made a

229
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,680
mistake, but obviously
circumstances in karma made it

230
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:35,360
that they had to go begging back
to her because the 2 They lost

231
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:38,200
their two leads for undisclosed
reasoning.

232
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:40,440
So what are your thoughts on on
that?

233
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,440
You know, I always say they
always come back.

234
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,320
I had a company from two years
ago I was doing live streaming.

235
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,760
Not going to mention the
company.

236
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,360
It's pretty major.
They've been in the news and

237
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,760
they came back two weeks ago.
They want me back live

238
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,520
streaming.
So it's like, you know, I think

239
00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:57,600
this is cool for her and they
they they're coming back to me

240
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,080
because they lost their big
star.

241
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:00,720
That's part of it.
You know, I'm sure they lost

242
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:02,800
some other people then Neve
Campbell.

243
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,840
I think this is pretty cool
because Neve Campbell, at least

244
00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:10,680
in my opinion, was a big drawer.
She did well and she seems like

245
00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:12,440
a nice person from people I've
heard.

246
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,000
So I don't know what I'm with
everyone else, but it's pretty

247
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:20,920
cool that she's back and she's
getting, you know, respect here.

248
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,640
I I.
Think it's really cool that she

249
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:25,080
stood her ground and she proved
to be right.

250
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,120
The, you know, circumstances
made it happen.

251
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,480
But still, I thought that's kind
of cool that, you know, she had

252
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:32,480
no knowledge that they were.
The other two were going to

253
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:33,600
leave.
That one was going to get in

254
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:35,800
trouble for social media posts.
And the other one was like,

255
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:37,600
yeah, I'm out because of some
nonsense.

256
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:39,400
What?
What type of trouble did this?

257
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,160
She said something.
About something about Gaza or

258
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,920
Israel or something like that.
Oh, so she.

259
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:47,520
Commented on the conflict back.
Back then and they were like,

260
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,960
Nope, we want you out.
They fired her and then, you

261
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,800
know, Ortega was like, because
they were really close on set

262
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,520
and it's like, well, fire her,
I'm not going to go.

263
00:12:55,560 --> 00:12:57,920
And that's so but she said
scheduling conflicts.

264
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:05,960
So that way she was out and then
the director was but the but the

265
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,640
director was getting hate mail
because they thought that he was

266
00:13:09,640 --> 00:13:12,760
the one that fired the two leads
and he's like, I'm out.

267
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:16,120
So they all came back to this,
that is.

268
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:17,520
Crazy and it goes to the show, I
guess.

269
00:13:17,520 --> 00:13:19,720
Don't have an opinion on
anything going on in the world

270
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:21,160
because we get fired.
That's.

271
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,640
What that's what happened with
the social media and it's, it's

272
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,520
a very, it's a very big thing.
Going on for a long long time

273
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:32,760
the whole thing with what that
the actress from Star Wars you

274
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:35,480
know she just said a couple of
things on on social media on her

275
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:38,840
being mental thoughts and then
what happened they.

276
00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,600
Fired her.
And that was it.

277
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,240
She.
Sued him and they said but she

278
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,000
just want to.
Get a spin off.

279
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:46,240
She won't, you know, and you
know, and all these type of, you

280
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:48,880
know, being said in the Star
Wars lore and then that, you

281
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,080
know, just you say a few
thoughts about what's in your

282
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:52,160
head and.
Oh, yeah.

283
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,120
But they.
Did they did settle out of court

284
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:57,200
because she sued him so she got
an undisclosed amount of money

285
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,520
and how she's fighting around
the rousy.

286
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,360
So, you know, it's kind of weird
how things happen if you stand

287
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:04,200
your ground.
Start her own production

288
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,440
company?
No, no, no, no, she should.

289
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:09,560
So.
Whatever.

290
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:12,320
She wants now and say whatever
she wants now, so moving.

291
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:16,040
On from the I Guess it's not a
trilogy after all department

292
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:20,400
none other than Sony has quietly
cancelled the planned yet to be

293
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:25,400
titled 20 Years later sequel
after both 28 Years Later and

294
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:28,360
its sequel 28 years Later.
The Bone Temple both

295
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:32,800
underperformed at the box office
1 May $70.4 million on a $60

296
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,440
million budget and the other
have just made 2125 point $1

297
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:39,360
million so far.
Of note, those two movies were

298
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:43,240
filmed back-to-back now Kelly I
know you did see 28 years later

299
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,880
and you wouldn't you told me how
crazy that movie was.

300
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:49,000
I'm like, I don't like.
It felt like they had like 20

301
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,360
different writers and 20
separate cubicle.

302
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:53,640
They didn't know what they were
doing.

303
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,160
I mean, well, I'm going to say
they didn't know what they were

304
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,560
doing.
It's just that it felt like a

305
00:14:56,560 --> 00:15:00,280
mash up of like different, you
know, different cooks and, you

306
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,720
know, just throwing their own
ingredients in the pot and it,

307
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:06,320
you know, from act one to act 2
to act three, it was definitely

308
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,960
it was kind of different.
And especially that last act,

309
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,400
that third act, wow, that went
like went to like bunkers.

310
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:16,160
It went like sky high a little
bit there and which led into the

311
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:18,160
sequel.
And I think that's probably was

312
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,040
what the reason why it didn't it
didn't do too well in that

313
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:22,800
sequel, I'm assuming.
So you didn't?

314
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,160
See the 20 years I didn't.
I didn't.

315
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,920
I didn't box it because I'm
like, I'm out.

316
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,560
You haven't seen it 28 years
later.

317
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,000
And the 28.
Years Later is a sequel in and

318
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,600
of itself to 28 Days Later and
28 Weeks Later.

319
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,760
So I was on, I was on hesitant
about going to see it because I

320
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,680
want to make sure how it was
connected to this movie.

321
00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:47,240
And based on what Kelly said,
he's like, yeah, I wouldn't go

322
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:48,280
see it.
So I didn't see it.

323
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,120
Everybody.
Else is.

324
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,200
Like no, now I want.
To see it.

325
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,440
But didn't they get rid of 28
weeks later?

326
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,480
They kind of reckoned, I think
they reckoned you're the one

327
00:15:58,480 --> 00:15:59,560
that's not.
All right, Yeah, so.

328
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,800
They kind of reckoned with this
28 years later.

329
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:05,400
I mean 28 weeks.
It doesn't even make any sense

330
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,760
with this new addition to the to
the lure.

331
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,640
You know, there's like things
that they put in there.

332
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,240
They say that you know the those
you know the people on the

333
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,200
rampage zombie would would
definitely die off and sorry

334
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,640
spoiled spoilers from. 28 weeks.
Later they said that, you know,

335
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,160
after eventually in like 6
months to a year, they will just

336
00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:25,200
die off and die, you know, from
starvation.

337
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,040
And look at that, that was 28
weeks later.

338
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,520
Now we're 28 years later and
they're still dealing with the

339
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,760
same issues.
And not only that, they have

340
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:36,320
different categories of rage
zombies, you know, they got

341
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:41,160
different verges of them.
So I mean, it's, it's, I mean, I

342
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,640
liked it.
The first act, you know, we, you

343
00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:45,920
know, again, like going back to
the goat, you know, the father

344
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,920
and son seeing the movie, this
was more like a father and son

345
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,360
first act.
You know, he's teaching his son

346
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:55,800
out in the woods how to survive.
That second and third act threw

347
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:58,200
me off, and I'm not going to
throw any more sports after

348
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,760
that.
But the first act is good.

349
00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:01,760
If you see the first act, get up
and.

350
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:06,240
Walk, get up and walk.
You're pretty much good after

351
00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:07,960
that.
If you're curious, then go watch

352
00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:08,880
it.
You don't have nothing else to

353
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,200
do on a Sunday afternoon while
you're doing your laundry, you

354
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:12,720
know, background noise.
Yeah, yeah.

355
00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:13,240
Go ahead.
Watch.

356
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,200
It.
The story just, you know, it

357
00:17:17,200 --> 00:17:20,119
just just wasn't up to par.
You know, it's just not what I

358
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,480
expected.
It got very cartoony toward the

359
00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:23,800
Act three.
It got very.

360
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:26,560
I mean, I'm a.
Guy who watches anime and

361
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,119
that's.
Very weird.

362
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,640
Coming out of my mouth, you
know, it just got very cartoon,

363
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:31,320
you say?
Cartoony.

364
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,320
Like, not believable, Yeah.
You know, it's just very

365
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,280
animated.
You know, it's like Nooney tunes

366
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:37,520
anime.
You know what I mean?

367
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,360
I mean mark my life, but it came
like kind of like a power Ranger

368
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:43,880
movement.
I'll say that, you know, but.

369
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:48,120
But other than that, it's just
yeah, just watching your own

370
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:49,680
leaves.
Yeah, If you want to watch it,

371
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,440
watch it.
That's why now I really.

372
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,880
Want to see you now?
I'm sold.

373
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:56,720
Good, bad movie.
Night good popcorn?

374
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:59,920
Why not?
Speaking of movie theaters from

375
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:04,420
the IT was only a matter of time
department, none other than AMC

376
00:18:04,420 --> 00:18:08,600
theatres is now offering a new
perk to its loyalty program

377
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:12,800
members, Priority Seating
executives say later this year,

378
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,880
we will introduce preferred
premium seating, which will

379
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:18,800
block off and reserve the best
seats in the house to our

380
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:22,960
theaters to be accessed first by
our only our A list and our Stub

381
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:26,080
premier club members.
That's the two VIP tiers within

382
00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,000
our stub program.
At no added charge, we will

383
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:31,680
assure the best seats in the
auditorium health at first

384
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:34,440
anyway for our best customers.
We think it would be a great

385
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:37,960
considerable consumer benefit
for our most frequent guests who

386
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,640
will notice and greatly
appreciate further cementing

387
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,960
their brand loyalty to AM C AM C
is exceptionally well positioned

388
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:47,480
to capitalize on a recovering
box office.

389
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,480
And as I have said many times
before, the not so secret

390
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,640
formula to full box office
recovery is that

391
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,400
straightforward.
We need more great movies from

392
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,560
our studio partners.
The program is expected to

393
00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,520
launch sometime this year, later
this year.

394
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:06,200
And of note, AMC did not define
what qualifies as quote the best

395
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:09,200
seats, but it is expected to be
the center middle area of the

396
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,960
theater.
And for those who wants to know,

397
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:15,160
the members are paying 2799 in
New York and in California with

398
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,000
the rest of the country paying
2599 for the service.

399
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:23,000
Now, I have been saying this for
years of how the movie theaters

400
00:19:23,120 --> 00:19:26,680
hate the movie companies that
make the movies because they

401
00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:27,640
don't make the money off of
that.

402
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,240
They make money off of in the
concession stand.

403
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,360
And the movie theaters
themselves has always been

404
00:19:31,360 --> 00:19:33,960
trying to figure out ways to
make more money on the same

405
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:35,600
thing.
And one of the things that they

406
00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:39,080
started to do, which was people
having the advanced seating,

407
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:40,800
they get the picture seat in the
theater.

408
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,320
Now, once that started to
happen, I knew it was going to

409
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,120
be only a matter of time before
they start charging different

410
00:19:46,120 --> 00:19:48,760
prices from different seats.
That's why I think everything is

411
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:50,640
going.
And based on this, it looks like

412
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,320
that's exactly what's happening,
because now they have priority

413
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,840
seating in the movie theater
that's more valuable.

414
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,240
So now all of us.
Sudden we're going to have

415
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,120
certain seats that this seat
over here is going to be $10,

416
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,160
that seat over there $30 and the
next to each other.

417
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,160
I think it's a very slippery
slope that we're on, and I think

418
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,520
this is a bad move for theaters.
How?

419
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,280
Much is this?
Is it to be part of this stubs

420
00:20:14,280 --> 00:20:15,400
program?
The stub program.

421
00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:20,880
Is 2799 in New York a month and
California and then the rest of

422
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,560
the country is paying 20 and
then you also.

423
00:20:22,560 --> 00:20:24,280
Have to pay for the tickets and
well.

424
00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,560
Yes, you pay for the monthly fee
because that's how they get you

425
00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,960
and then you have to go buy your
ticket and then because you buy,

426
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,920
you're paying the monthly.
Fee for for ticket for the

427
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,880
seasoning you're getting. 1.
Of the additional perks.

428
00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,200
Because you get.
Like.

429
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:39,720
Discounts on food or and you
also get.

430
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,640
Points, too, if you want to
like, you know, if you get like,

431
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,240
you know, free popcorn and soda
with the points, things like

432
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:46,800
that.
Yeah, people love their points.

433
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:48,880
You know what they're saying.
You're different than like like

434
00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,320
buying tickets at a concert
either, you know, I mean, like,

435
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:54,760
I just looked the other day for
the Stranger Things on Broadway,

436
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,640
you know, I mean, and I'm like
looking at the ticket prices,

437
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,200
you know, all the way in the
back, you're paying like like

438
00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:02,240
$108.00.
But if you want to go in the

439
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:05,920
middle or in the front, you're
paying like 3 to $500 just to

440
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:08,760
see them sweat on stage.
You know, I mean, like just as

441
00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:11,400
basically the same thing.
But I get the I get it, it's

442
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,160
apples and oranges when it comes
to it because you just go in

443
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:16,680
there to see a flick and after
you're seeing people live

444
00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,160
performance and I kind of get
it.

445
00:21:18,160 --> 00:21:20,960
But the planning how it is, they
just trying to get into that

446
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,520
same type of target when it
comes to like, yeah, then we can

447
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:27,000
make a little more money if we
charge more for the center

448
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:28,320
seats.
And I kind of get that.

449
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,440
But nowadays, I mean, like I,
you know, back in the days I

450
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:35,360
used to go to the movies like
maybe every weekend everyone

451
00:21:35,360 --> 00:21:38,440
going to see a new movie.
Hollywood is not, I mean, my

452
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:40,160
just my point of view, just my
point of view.

453
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:43,680
You know, Hollywood is not
producing the the the best

454
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:45,920
movies lately.
I'm not really feeling a lot of

455
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:48,920
the stories that they going out
there, you know, I mean, and you

456
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,400
know, it just doesn't grasp me
as much, you know, just, you

457
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,640
know, I mean, I think they just
had the movie The bride that

458
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,520
came out and that flock.
I think it did like they spent

459
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,520
90 million on on the production
and then they only made 7

460
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,080
million and 13 million
worldwide.

461
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:06,960
I'm saying this right?
Sounds about right.

462
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:09,280
So you know.
So I mean, it's you know, this

463
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,560
I'm not and I'm not even you
know, I'm kind of worried about

464
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,760
this whole MCU with the Doomsday
and the Doctor Doom movie.

465
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:20,360
I know they're spending a good
mint.

466
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,240
It has to be close to a billion
dollars.

467
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:23,840
So many how many actors they got
in it?

468
00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:26,040
I think they got like 60 actors
up in there.

469
00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:27,800
To my point right now, I don't
think that movie.

470
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,120
Is going to be any good, you
know?

471
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:33,160
I'm a little bit scared and what
not I'm you know, again, you

472
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:37,360
know, I I'm more toward like
watching more of like

473
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,960
international movies, you know,
you know, and I like the animes

474
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,560
and whatnot.
I'm more geared toward that.

475
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:45,880
If they have an anime in the
movie theaters, I'll show

476
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,720
support and pay for that.
But I do know it's going to be a

477
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,720
production and a story that I
can actually be able to.

478
00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:54,280
It's been a while since like
what you know, since I'd be able

479
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,720
to relate besides the goat I
mentioned earlier and that was a

480
00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,000
cartoon.
I mean alright, but anything

481
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,960
like live action, I'm kind of
like skeptical a little bit on

482
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,000
the story.
I will probably wait till it

483
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,920
goes on stream, which you know
nowadays it's going to be on

484
00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,240
stream the next three weeks to a
month, you know what I mean?

485
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:14,200
So I would rather wait because
I'm paying for the prescriptions

486
00:23:14,360 --> 00:23:17,640
for the streaming where I'm
going to spend like $100 to

487
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,880
bring a whole family over and
some for the food and then when

488
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:23,520
I could just stay at home and
wait for streaming when it comes

489
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:25,040
on, you know what I mean?
But on.

490
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,960
Top of that, would you pay an
additional fee for different

491
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,600
seats in the movie theater?
Would I?

492
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,920
I'm good sitting in the side out
if it's cheaper.

493
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,080
I mean, we're all seeing the
same movie.

494
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:44,200
We're.
All seeing the same.

495
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:46,400
Movie.
Unless they're going.

496
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:47,720
To bring you where you're
seating.

497
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,800
You can see different angles.
It's a big screen unless.

498
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,840
These seats become like first
class on a plane.

499
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,120
They bring you chicken front
face.

500
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,560
You know, maybe you get chicken
front Daisy if you go on the.

501
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:03,000
House which actually has the
quote UN quote dining experience

502
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,480
where they have like waiters
come and bring you food and you

503
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,000
don't have to get up and there's
no place.

504
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:09,160
They're trying to do.
That.

505
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:14,440
But still, if you're sitting on
this seat and that seat somebody

506
00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:17,640
else has taken and this person
next to you is $30 more.

507
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,000
Would you?
Buy that extra seat.

508
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:24,480
It just, it just, I think it's a
bad precedence and I don't think

509
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,920
it's going to help the movies.
What was your suggestion to help

510
00:24:27,480 --> 00:24:31,080
movies massages?
At your seats or in the theater?

511
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:35,520
Drug dealing, if a drug dealing
could be like, not bad drugs,

512
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:37,120
not bad drugs.
Well, well.

513
00:24:37,120 --> 00:24:38,960
Like, like, Sugar's a drug.
Sugar.

514
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:40,560
Sugar to me.
So you have a sugar dealer.

515
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,240
Yeah, the sugar Sugar's maybe
more addictive than cocaine.

516
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:45,840
They say Oreos are more
addictive than cocaine.

517
00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,920
So lines of cocaine, lines of
Oreos, get Oreos in there, get

518
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,120
cocaine in there, get marijuana
in there.

519
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,360
Get GLP.
Ones even though I'm against the

520
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:56,560
GLP.
Oreos.

521
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:57,920
Sure.
Whatever you know, whatever

522
00:24:57,920 --> 00:24:59,760
we'll get them in, get something
that's going to entice maybe.

523
00:24:59,760 --> 00:25:01,880
Chinese food is highly
addictive, especially if that

524
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,400
MSG keeps coming.
Chinese food.

525
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,960
Chinese food.
Is highly addictive that MSG is

526
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,480
highly addictive all right so.
Would you pay extra for that?

527
00:25:11,360 --> 00:25:13,160
Honestly.
Maybe if I can get a massage, I

528
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,520
would go.
I need, yeah, I need a massage.

529
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,680
So if I could get a massage,
yeah, actually I would more

530
00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,320
likely go for those.
Side seats, but if I if all the

531
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:25,000
movie starts and I see a center
seat empty, you're going to run

532
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,160
over there I'm running right
over there it's.

533
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,960
Like I remember many my last
baseball game I ever went to

534
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,280
years ago before they they tore
down Chase Stadium.

535
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,280
My friend had gotten tickets to
go see a game.

536
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:40,720
We were all the way up top and
it was such a bad game and it

537
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,680
wasn't didn't count.
People started leaving.

538
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,440
So throughout the game we slowly
moved all the way down.

539
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,080
To the to.
See the to see the game.

540
00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:49,800
So maybe that's how it's going
to be.

541
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,680
But then, but then it comes into
a fact of enforcing it, like if

542
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,680
a person pays for a higher
price, they're going to like,

543
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,920
oh, look, they moved over there,
police.

544
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:01,160
Mark.
You and me both worked at a

545
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:05,280
movie theater, All right, You
know, those ushers not going to

546
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,760
enforce that, you know, unless
they have some kind of God

547
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:10,360
complex, but they don't.
They just want to do their job

548
00:26:10,360 --> 00:26:12,560
and go home.
They they see somebody moving in

549
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,200
that seat, they're not going to
do anything unless supervisors

550
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,480
are walking around that, which
is why.

551
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,600
The NYPD or a lot of them are
going to be quitting with the

552
00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:23,520
way things are going, and they
can come into the movie theaters

553
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,600
and police seating and it'll be
a lot safer.

554
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,320
They just want to do their.
Job and go home come.

555
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:33,360
On Give these NYPD a day off for
the.

556
00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,600
Last years from the AI strikes
back sort of department.

557
00:26:39,120 --> 00:26:45,320
None other than Eline Vander
Velden, the quote creator of AI

558
00:26:45,360 --> 00:26:49,960
actress Kelly Norwood, has
released a fully AI music video

559
00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,360
addressing the backlash of AI
and her character.

560
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:54,720
Music video starts off a free
disclaimer.

561
00:26:55,120 --> 00:26:58,200
It reads the following
production was made by 18 real

562
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,600
humans, from producer designers
to costume designers to

563
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,800
prompters and editors and an
actor.

564
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,880
Eline says to those who have
expressed anger over the

565
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,080
creation of our AI character
Tilly Norwood, she is not a

566
00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,200
replacement for human beings,
but a creative work, a piece of

567
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,120
art.
Like many forms of art before

568
00:27:15,120 --> 00:27:18,520
her, she sparks conversation and
that in and of itself shows the

569
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:21,400
power of creativity.
I see AI as not a replacement

570
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:23,920
for people, but as a new tool
and you paint for us.

571
00:27:24,120 --> 00:27:28,000
Just as animation, puppetry or
CGI, opening fresh possibilities

572
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,480
without taking away from acting,
AI offers another way to imagine

573
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,200
and build stories.
I'm an actor myself and nursing,

574
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,120
certainly not an AI character,
can take the way the craft of

575
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:40,200
joy of the human performance
SAG, which is the screen actor

576
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:43,200
girl, says.
To be clear, Tilly Norwood is

577
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:46,200
not an actor, is a character
generated by a computer program

578
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,400
that was trained on the work of
countless professional

579
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,040
performers without the
permission or compensation.

580
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:53,800
It has no life experience to
draw from, no emotion.

581
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:56,720
And from what we've seen so far,
audiences aren't interested in

582
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,840
watching a computer generated
content unearthed from human

583
00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:03,040
experience.
Now I've seen the video, it is

584
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:08,360
as generic as possibly can be.
I mean, I've seen AI stuff and I

585
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,040
think I'm able to see more.
I can tell more.

586
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:14,000
That's AI because before you
couldn't tell from me, but I'm

587
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:15,440
like, yeah, that's AI.
Yeah, that's AI.

588
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:18,120
It wasn't any good.
I I actually didn't see the

589
00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:19,480
entire video.
I was like, I had enough of

590
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,920
this, but it's crazy that
they're trying to force this

591
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:28,240
thing, but by saying it's not
what it is because what is

592
00:28:28,240 --> 00:28:29,800
actually, they're saying, oh,
it's not replacing anybody.

593
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:31,240
It's not replacing jobs, it's
not doing this.

594
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:32,920
But that's what happens with all
the technology.

595
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,360
When they introduced CGI, it
replaced the people making the

596
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:37,960
the little figurines and stuff
from movies.

597
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,640
I think it's a very interesting
aspect that they went this far

598
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:43,640
to make this character and then
they made a music video about

599
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,760
it.
I think it's once again a bad

600
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:48,920
idea of how to push this
character forward.

601
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:51,640
Jen, since you are a filmmaker,
yeah.

602
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:55,160
And you have said that you would
use AI and under circumstances.

603
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,720
Under circumstances.
Think about it, you have actors

604
00:28:57,720 --> 00:29:01,120
when you have actors.
I just was producing a film at

605
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,680
my house February 25th.
I they're still cleaning up

606
00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,760
today.
There's ten shoot days, $500 a

607
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:06,800
day.
Whatever, There you go.

608
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:08,240
There's a lot of info I can
share.

609
00:29:08,280 --> 00:29:11,400
I don't know, one day there's
maybe 15 people in the house. 5

610
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,160
girls, including me, had to be
choreographed for a dance scene.

611
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,080
So that's five personalities. 5
girls have to decide for lunch.

612
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,440
One girl took like 10 minutes to
figure out what she wants for

613
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,760
lunch.
For that alone, she should be

614
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,360
fired.
No, but but I mean, you know,

615
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,320
you have to deal with all the
difficulties of different

616
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,720
actors.
And I think it's more

617
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,320
interesting, let's say, just
talking about the dance scene of

618
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,760
the five girls, right?
That's that was one shoot day.

619
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:38,040
I think as a viewer, it would be
more interesting to see real

620
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,760
people mess up the dance moves,
including me.

621
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,600
I messed up.
You know, we learned it right

622
00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:44,040
before.
But I'm trying to think if there

623
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:48,320
are any actors in this film that
it would be we could just

624
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,200
replace them with AI.
OK.

625
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,440
There was a concert scene.
So in the concert scene, they

626
00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:55,800
had all these people who
volunteered their time.

627
00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,760
Nobody was paid.
I'm not the director.

628
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,280
I didn't, you know, whatever.
But those people were, they

629
00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:02,920
wanted to be in it.
So they came to this, this Lucky

630
00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:06,920
13 bar and they volunteered
their time for like 5 hours and

631
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:10,960
they danced in the club scene.
But no offense to anyone.

632
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,640
We could have probably replaced
them with an AI crowd because

633
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:17,480
and then these people could have
done something else with their

634
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:21,440
five hours and not come to
Bushwick, Brooklyn and not share

635
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,720
the bathroom.
All you know, for one person and

636
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,920
not gotten in the way of me
doing makeup of the star who

637
00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,800
can't really be replaced by AII,
don't think.

638
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,640
But yeah, it's a crowd of
people.

639
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,520
They're barely in frame.
Why do we need them there?

640
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,800
No one's getting paid.
Some people were enjoying

641
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:39,000
themselves.
I'm sure a lot of them were, and

642
00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:41,800
it was gratifying on some level.
So yeah, why?

643
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:43,240
Why do we need?
Why do we need to waste

644
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,600
everyone's time to come to come
to Brookly in the snow in a

645
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:47,840
freaking Blizzard?
Right.

646
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,800
Just replace them with AI.
It's not like they're getting

647
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,520
paid anyway.
Tell me what are your thoughts?

648
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:56,600
Well, just just hearing that, I
just remind that reminded me of

649
00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,960
when Will Smith was doing was
doing like a music video and he

650
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:04,240
had an audience concert.
Yeah, yeah, AI crowd and he got

651
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,960
caught out there 'cause it was a
couple words that was not making

652
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,600
sense.
It was kind of a very frivial

653
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,120
Scrabble and a few mis shaping
faces in the audience or

654
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:13,640
whatever.
He blames his team.

655
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:17,640
It was like.
A.

656
00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:22,280
Year and. 1/2 ago, yeah, he was
showing himself off.

657
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:25,240
He's on stage, whatever.
But he had an AI audience.

658
00:31:25,520 --> 00:31:27,880
There was no one really there.
It was just him on stage.

659
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:32,800
But but a Long story short, it's
going to be a while till AI gets

660
00:31:32,800 --> 00:31:34,840
to the point where you know
where I mean.

661
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,000
Nowadays you can still kind of
tell a little bit, but it's I

662
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:44,760
see some videos on my on my feed
on on like social media and some

663
00:31:44,760 --> 00:31:46,920
of those things, you know, like
I mentioned even earlier, which

664
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:50,640
sometimes Hollywood not grasp me
on some of the stories cat grasp

665
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:55,240
me a little bit like like I just
I saw a short like if what if

666
00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:58,760
McDonald's worker went to
ancient Egypt and started on

667
00:31:58,760 --> 00:32:01,600
McDonald's there.
I mean, it was a a very simple

668
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,640
storyline, but it was all done
by AI and even I and even got me

669
00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:07,600
a little interested.
That how you know, you know,

670
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:10,720
like you know, the the Roman
guards and all that kind of

671
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:13,200
stuff.
Oh, no, sorry, ancient Egypt,

672
00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:15,000
you know, the Pharaoh would
invite him over and make

673
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:16,560
McDonald's and those kind of
thing.

674
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:19,320
Everybody and then everybody get
diabetes anyway.

675
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,720
But, but Long story short, I'm
an artist.

676
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:26,080
I know there's a lot of artists,
people in my community that's

677
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,840
not happy with AI.
And I get the idea of, you know,

678
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:31,640
being replaced.
I kind of get it.

679
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:33,840
You know, I'm also a graphic
designer as well.

680
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,160
And this just gives it, you
know, people, ordinary normies,

681
00:32:37,160 --> 00:32:40,200
unless we call them, you know,
that, you know, the opportunity

682
00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,000
to become artists, to be, you
know, by utilizing AI.

683
00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:45,520
The only thing is that, you
know, they're afraid being

684
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,880
replaced by AI, but I look at it
more as a tool really, to be

685
00:32:48,880 --> 00:32:51,080
honest.
I I dibble dabble a little bit

686
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:54,360
of AI myself here and there.
Not for all my work and whatnot.

687
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:57,440
I just trying to get used to the
fact that this is going to

688
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:00,160
happen regardless.
And I'm not going to try to I'm

689
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,640
not going to try to fall back.
You know, I'm going to move

690
00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,400
forward and go along with the
times.

691
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:06,880
You know, like you mentioned
before, you know, there's a lot

692
00:33:06,880 --> 00:33:09,640
of things that came up, you
know, like with the animations

693
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,800
and the CGI, all those kind of
things replace.

694
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:16,320
I'm not going to fall back and,
and, and, and still I want to be

695
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,680
the person who has a blow torch
and burn.

696
00:33:18,920 --> 00:33:21,000
So I just want to keep up with
it.

697
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:24,080
I'm not going to you got it.
I'm not going to use it fully to

698
00:33:24,080 --> 00:33:26,400
my advantage.
I just want to have it where I

699
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,600
know that I can utilize it to
certain things like references

700
00:33:30,600 --> 00:33:33,480
or just help me out with certain
designs and layouts.

701
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,400
I think, you know, you know,
what, what's really going to

702
00:33:36,400 --> 00:33:41,000
happen is that it's going to get
to a point where job wise, and I

703
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,720
tell my, my, my son and I'm
going to tell my other son as he

704
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:47,360
get old enough to like, I tell
them, like, look, eventually

705
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,680
there's got to be a lot of jobs.
That's all that's going to be

706
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,760
limited.
You know, I mean, you know, it's

707
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,880
a lot of companies going to go
toward, you know, you ever see

708
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:55,120
it?
You know, at McDonald's, you got

709
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:57,680
the self checked kiosks and
those kind of things.

710
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:01,360
You got to get into a few job
opportunities where it's, you

711
00:34:01,360 --> 00:34:05,720
know, you got to get into math,
science, engineering, and also,

712
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:10,080
you know, get into some kind of
like coding, you know, I mean,

713
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,600
so you can get into those kind
of workmanship because things

714
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:13,960
are going to get very, very
hard.

715
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:17,320
A lot of jobs are going to be
shut down and if you don't, if

716
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,960
you don't get yourself in those
kind of things, or at least

717
00:34:20,440 --> 00:34:25,000
medical or law, a lot of those
things are going to be cut down.

718
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:27,080
It's going to be very limited
for you to get find any type of

719
00:34:27,080 --> 00:34:29,400
work out there.
You know, even as unfortunate,

720
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,400
I'll say even as an actor as
well.

721
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,560
I mean, you know, there's a lot
of AI things I see where people

722
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,320
are using their faces.
I think it's going to get to a

723
00:34:37,320 --> 00:34:40,560
point where you know, they'll
probably pay actors families

724
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,760
money every time we use, can we
use?

725
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:45,400
Your likeness can.
We have permission to like so I

726
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:48,239
mean, look, aim the guy who does
Darth Vader's voice, you know,

727
00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,400
they pay Angel Joe, They, they,
they paid the family a good

728
00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:52,679
mint.
They, you know, they got a good

729
00:34:52,679 --> 00:34:55,679
inheritance to use that voice
for whatever they want to do in

730
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:58,320
Disney.
So I mean, it's just, it's just,

731
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:01,320
you know, it's, it's taking its
time, but it's it's trickling

732
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,320
slowly.
We can do it fully now.

733
00:35:03,720 --> 00:35:06,000
But we do know that, you know,
there's got to be Rage Against

734
00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,160
machine that we just go hunk
over there.

735
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:11,160
But I'm sorry, I didn't mean to
tap the table, but but you know,

736
00:35:11,160 --> 00:35:15,720
but you have to keep going and
trying to perfect yourself more

737
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:18,160
to adapt to this new future
that's ahead of us.

738
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,640
Yes, definitely, they're saying.
I I heard in a couple sources

739
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:26,960
they're saying last week, we
have 18 months before AI shifts

740
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:30,120
things to the point where like
you're seeing people you

741
00:35:30,120 --> 00:35:34,160
wouldn't normally expect in the
last 20 years lose their jobs

742
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:37,200
and be homeless.
I will see what happens.

743
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:39,400
The one thing I want to say.
Before we take our commercial

744
00:35:39,400 --> 00:35:42,640
break, is that with AI, the
biggest issue I believe is

745
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:45,640
because they're not being
compensated for and it's

746
00:35:45,640 --> 00:35:47,200
stealing other people's work,
right?

747
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,160
That's the problem.
So if AI was paying whatever

748
00:35:51,160 --> 00:35:53,520
they needed to pay, everything
would be fine.

749
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,120
Everything would be great.
Hey, we're going to use your

750
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:57,720
stuff, get some money, we're
going to make AAI thing out of

751
00:35:57,720 --> 00:35:58,760
it.
You get your, you get your

752
00:35:59,480 --> 00:36:02,240
compensation.
But the problem is the consumers

753
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,040
don't care.
And the consumers also are like,

754
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:07,920
I don't have to pay anybody.
That's the point of having AI.

755
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:10,360
So that's the two.
But how will you know who to

756
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,200
pay?
I mean, it's, it's basically the

757
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:14,640
whole right chicken soup.
Combination of.

758
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,080
It's where they're.
Getting it from.

759
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,360
So you have to pay wherever
they're getting.

760
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:22,040
Yeah.
So if you're on, you know, Bob's

761
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:23,600
website.
Oh, I'm getting pulling from

762
00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:24,880
Bob's website.
That's how always the case.

763
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:26,120
Sometimes it's just I know
stuff.

764
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,000
That's online and it's just,
it's free stuff.

765
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,240
Online, like piracy, it's kind
of one of those things.

766
00:36:31,320 --> 00:36:33,240
Yeah.
So that is different news.

767
00:36:33,240 --> 00:36:35,120
We're going to take a quick
break in front of a live city

768
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:35,760
audience.
Yeah.

769
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,120
We'll be right back with more.

798
00:38:07,640 --> 00:38:10,040
This is your host Mark Torres
speaking in front of a live

799
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:15,240
studio audience at the East
Metal Public Library for a 102nd

800
00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:17,480
show.
I just want to mention that the

801
00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,560
East Metal Public Library has
tons and tons of other

802
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:21,960
programming, most of which is
free and one of which we're

803
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,080
going to be talking about today.
I'm here with my Co host helman

804
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,000
Jane Philbin.
Thanks for having me and Mr.

805
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,120
Kelly Gordon.
Who I always.

806
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:30,440
Joke that it's his library, he's
in charge of the library, and

807
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,400
he's also in charge of the M con
itself.

808
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:34,440
Thank you for having me.
So as I mentioned.

809
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:37,240
We've been doing.
Our this is our 102nd live show.

810
00:38:37,240 --> 00:38:39,680
So that means we're over 8 years
doing a live show at the

811
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,360
library.
You're welcome, Mark.

812
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:41,960
Yeah.
Thank you.

813
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:45,240
And you've been?
Having the M con for 16 years

814
00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:47,360
right?
If I yes this will be a 66 year.

815
00:38:47,480 --> 00:38:49,360
I've only missed the 1st.
M Con.

816
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,000
I was not here for the very
first one.

817
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,680
That's right.
And Jen, you've been here for a

818
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,200
couple of M Con, right?
Yeah, since Jen is.

819
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,520
I guess for the.
Three of us, the newest person

820
00:38:57,520 --> 00:38:59,600
to the environment.
What are your thoughts of a

821
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:01,400
convention in a library?
What did you think when you

822
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:03,600
first came here?
I thought it was really fun.

823
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,840
I think people we're really
excited to be here and the vibe

824
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,520
was really positive and happy
and they had very creative

825
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:12,600
costumes.
That was really cool.

826
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:13,800
And I went up to a bunch of
people.

827
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:16,000
I took their picture and they
were all excited.

828
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:20,880
A lot of different art,
including comic books and actual

829
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,040
novel type or fiction books and
different, I guess you call them

830
00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:28,200
like different creations
different like statue type

831
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:31,480
figurines.
It was just a, it was really a

832
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,440
day of creation, I would say.
And I don't know, it was really

833
00:39:34,520 --> 00:39:37,160
cool to see it mostly kids as
they were dressed up, but there

834
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:39,480
were some adults dressed up.
And it was, it was fun and it

835
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:42,920
was, it was actually a lot more
enjoyable than a really big

836
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,320
Comic Con.
I'm not going to say the name,

837
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:49,200
but there's a very big one.
But I I would rather go to this

838
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,520
one.
No offense to any big comic

839
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,280
cons, just appreciate you saying
that.

840
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:54,880
It is a lot more enjoyable.
You could.

841
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:56,960
Park here, it was easy.
There were bathrooms.

842
00:39:56,960 --> 00:39:59,120
Don't bumped into me.
There aren't.

843
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,440
What offense did you go to that?
Sometimes you got to wait.

844
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:06,120
Online, some of the big ones and
like people bumping into you and

845
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:08,560
it's just like you feel like
you're in a sardine can and

846
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,480
that's not fun This is like I
can move my arms around, I can

847
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,480
breathe, I can breathe, I can
breathe.

848
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,720
I don't feel uncomfortable and I
feel safe.

849
00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,200
So that's my take on it.
So Kelly was.

850
00:40:20,200 --> 00:40:23,880
That the goal we have a person
coming in that's that's her take

851
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:27,640
person was from the outside of
the community that's.

852
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:28,480
Was that your?
Goal.

853
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,600
That's a small slice of the.
Pie When it comes to the goal.

854
00:40:31,600 --> 00:40:34,960
The main goal was really when it
this idea came to me back in

855
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:38,840
2011, I used to run an anime
club here at the library.

856
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:41,320
I was the they used to call me
the Pied Piper.

857
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:45,160
And the reason is because I
would have 30 plus teenagers in

858
00:40:45,160 --> 00:40:47,080
the YA room on a Wednesday
night.

859
00:40:47,760 --> 00:40:50,200
All right, you know, they 1, you
know, one of the largest teen

860
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:53,360
programs, you know, which it was
just mainly just us hanging out

861
00:40:53,360 --> 00:40:56,160
in the YA room discussing anime
mangas.

862
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,760
So, you know, it's it was so it
clearly had like a demographic

863
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,000
target demographic for what we
were looking for.

864
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:07,120
They say that, you know, since
there's so much interest showing

865
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,560
into this kind of pop culture
phenomena.

866
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:12,000
They asked me, you know, of
course, I used to go to New York

867
00:41:12,000 --> 00:41:13,920
Comic Con and different other
conventions.

868
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:17,480
They asked, they asked me, how
would you like to run a

869
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:21,080
convention here at the library?
You know, a two of my thumbs

870
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,320
scratch my head, start saying
love.

871
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:26,440
And then I said, all right,
let's go for it.

872
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:28,440
Let's do it.
Obviously, we started small.

873
00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:30,920
It was a one day event.
We tried it out.

874
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:35,680
We had, you know, like a variety
of artists, well, a small amount

875
00:41:35,680 --> 00:41:37,960
of artists, not as large as it
is now.

876
00:41:39,120 --> 00:41:42,800
And then we had cosplay contests
and we had some panels and some

877
00:41:42,800 --> 00:41:44,320
workshops, things of that
nature.

878
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:47,440
Very educational learning every
day at the East Meadow Public

879
00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:48,400
Library.
Indeed.

880
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:52,840
And so if since it was such a
great success, we decided to

881
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:56,960
expand and do the two day event
the next year for the second

882
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:59,640
one, that's the one I believe
you came on to mark.

883
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,280
And then we invited a lot more
people to come in, you know, a

884
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,960
lot more guests, more people
from the cosplay community, more

885
00:42:06,960 --> 00:42:10,520
people that's in the pop culture
community, so they can network

886
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,800
and discuss things with other
people who they cannot reach.

887
00:42:13,800 --> 00:42:17,600
You know, it mainly was
something to give to the

888
00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:20,880
community or our target audience
to look forward to.

889
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:23,760
You know, they were really into
the into the anime and it was

890
00:42:23,760 --> 00:42:27,000
something that they could like
at least branch out or at least

891
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,920
be able to learn how they can
get into this kind of community,

892
00:42:29,920 --> 00:42:32,800
which, you know, you had to go
to the city back in the days,

893
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,160
you had to go all the way to the
city to get these kind of things

894
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:39,920
to, to be able to enjoy.
But now we bring it here and it

895
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:43,560
gotten so huge.
I mean, it got to a point where

896
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:49,240
during our peak years, you know,
back in say 2018, 20/16/2018, it

897
00:42:49,240 --> 00:42:52,840
got to a point where we got, we
brought in a total of 4800

898
00:42:52,840 --> 00:42:58,040
people into the library here
during those moments got so much

899
00:42:58,040 --> 00:43:01,440
Mark, you already know, we
actually had to rent a tent, the

900
00:43:01,440 --> 00:43:05,280
lawn area outside by Front St.
Basically, we took over every

901
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,800
nook and cranny of the library.
I mean, you know, we actually

902
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,520
had performances in the middle
of the library for the front

903
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,680
desk as you checking out a book
or checking in, you see somebody

904
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:19,560
on stage dancing it.
It was, it was a lot of fun.

905
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,920
Maybe for the staff, maybe not,
but but but we all still enjoy

906
00:43:23,920 --> 00:43:26,520
it and I do I I kid.
But you know, I do have to give

907
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:30,520
it up to the admins and staff
and everybody else there who

908
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,760
backed me doing such a crazy
event here at the library.

909
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:37,240
We're the only library to my
knowledge now on Long Island

910
00:43:37,560 --> 00:43:41,680
that does a 2 day event.
Most libraries which they have

911
00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,760
their own library convention,
they'll probably either do a

912
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,800
half a day to a full day event.
We're the only one that do 2

913
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,360
days.
It used to be 2 1/2.

914
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:51,760
Kobe used to do a pre party on
Friday nights.

915
00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:53,680
That got a little bit too much
for me.

916
00:43:53,680 --> 00:43:59,560
I stopped that after after 2019,
I stopped doing that pre.

917
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,960
Yeah, 2 is 2 is enough. 3 is
really long, yeah.

918
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:06,760
Yeah, well, yeah, you.
Know so you said you mentioned a

919
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,440
lot of that you see adults
they're dressed up as whatnot.

920
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,160
You know it's funny is that
every M con to me always seems

921
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,680
like either like family reunion
to me in a way, because a lot of

922
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:20,080
the kids that I you know, I
started with that especially for

923
00:44:20,080 --> 00:44:23,200
my anime manga club or even just
regular followers.

924
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:27,680
I see them grow up every year
and and they still come through

925
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,440
to the event and they enjoy the
event they look forward to the

926
00:44:30,440 --> 00:44:32,520
event.
I love to see them you know they

927
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:35,920
are now they got they look like
grown people grown adults.

928
00:44:35,920 --> 00:44:38,880
It's like, you know, it makes
this, it makes Uncle Kell very

929
00:44:38,880 --> 00:44:41,080
happy.
And I ask them how they're

930
00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:42,560
doing.
They you know, they tell me

931
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:45,840
they're in college now or, or
they're beyond college.

932
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,880
They're looking into their
careers already.

933
00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:51,920
And I love to see them graduate
outside of the anime club where

934
00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,040
they actually she's starting a
new life and things of that

935
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:56,080
nature.
And then I also love seeing the

936
00:44:56,080 --> 00:45:00,040
new kids, the new foundation
coming in and just growing the

937
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,000
community a lot more into the M
Con Yeah, it's fun.

938
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,120
And then there's.
A music concert on the 26th.

939
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:07,680
Eternal Hoshi.
Yes.

940
00:45:07,800 --> 00:45:09,120
What is that?
What's this music?

941
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:10,560
Well, yeah.
I I.

942
00:45:10,560 --> 00:45:14,440
Found them on on my on my
Instagram and and they intrigued

943
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:17,360
me and I've been watching them
for the for at least two years

944
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:20,000
now and I'm trying to figure out
when would be a good time to

945
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:22,240
invite them over.
They're basically if you're

946
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:27,120
they're into anime and you know,
in and also if you're into like

947
00:45:27,400 --> 00:45:31,000
rock music and also well, they,
they do a nice good fusion of

948
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,240
that.
They they play a lot of anime

949
00:45:33,240 --> 00:45:36,080
intro music, things like that.
If you're, you know, one of your

950
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:39,120
favorite animes, you know the
intros, they know that they come

951
00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:42,320
in, they get you gasp up and
ready and pumped to see the next

952
00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,400
latest episode on one punch man.
That's an example.

953
00:45:45,720 --> 00:45:48,360
So they'll play those kind of
intros and also a couple of

954
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:50,440
original songs that they also
play as well.

955
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,000
You know, they see them, they're
they're very friendly, they're

956
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,520
very easy to talk to.
And not only that, they're going

957
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:58,280
to be performing here on Sunday,
they're going to be here Sunday

958
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,320
to do a meet and greet and
whatnot and meet the fans or

959
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:04,000
make new ones here with us.
So I think everybody will enjoy

960
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,320
themselves.
That's Sunday, April 26th.

961
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:10,480
At 3:00 PM in the concert,
that's a charge for the seating

962
00:46:10,480 --> 00:46:12,520

But no, you know everything.

966
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,320
The best part about M Con is
free a lot of always, you know,

967
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:26,640
I still, I still get calls
asking how much it is to come to

968
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,120
the it's at the Public Library.
We're not going to charge.

We're nonprofit, you know, we're
here for the, you know, again,

I, I, I'm tired of sounding like
a broken record, but we are here

971
00:46:36,920 --> 00:46:39,920
for the community.
We're a station hub site for the

972
00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:41,840
community.
We're a lot of things not

00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,080
besides M Con.
We bring in a lot of programs

974
00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:47,680

help out and also give

975
00:46:47,680 --> 00:46:51,840
activities, great activities, so
people can enjoy themselves here

976
00:46:51,840 --> 00:46:53,800

here.

977
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,520
But yeah, so it's going to be
like 2 days.

978
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:58,920
We're going to have a variety
and artists who get to come in

979
00:46:58,920 --> 00:47:00,720
and network.
We're having a few authors

980
00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:03,560
coming in, I believe.
Carl, what's his name?

981
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:06,680
Yeah.
He's going to be here.

982
00:47:06,680 --> 00:47:08,600
He's going to be promoting his
comic book here.

983
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,200
He's also a guest here and came
from the radio, and he also was

984
00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:15,480
one of the producers to MTV
Celebrity Deathmatch.

985
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:17,000
All right?
I don't know.

986
00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:20,080
Anyone remember I seen that who
watched MTV back in the days?

987
00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,040
Anyone watch MTV?
All right, All right.

988
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,200
You know and you remember.
Liquid Television.

989
00:47:26,200 --> 00:47:28,640
All that, I don't know if you
remember the claymation,

990
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,360
probably, you're probably too
young for that, but they did

991
00:47:31,360 --> 00:47:34,800
have a claymation episodes of
seven deathmatch where they

992
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,160
celebrities and fight it off,
whatever.

993
00:47:37,400 --> 00:47:39,840
So he's going to be here.
Yeah.

994
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,560
And then we're going to have
like a couple.

995
00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:47,240
Of also our authors like Francis
Bonet, he does illustrations and

996
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:50,960
stories for Archie comic books.
So you know, if you're into

997
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,200
Archie, I know, I mean, who's
not into Riverdale?

998
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,000
Come on now, Jughead and Archie
and all that.

999
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,240
So, you know, I think a lot of
people would enjoy seeing him.

1000
00:47:58,240 --> 00:48:02,280
He does very well known and he's
a friendly guy to talk to.

1001
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:05,040
You know, you come in and you go
ask him questions, he'll

1002
00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:08,240
definitely answer them with no
problems and what not.

1003
00:48:08,240 --> 00:48:11,680
And not only ever having a huge
variety of artists coming in

1004
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,680
with different type of artworks,
different types of like

1005
00:48:14,960 --> 00:48:18,200
merchandising, things like that,
It's, it's going to be almost

1006
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,080
fun.
That's right.

1007
00:48:21,240 --> 00:48:23,280
And it wanted.
To Abby.

1008
00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,960
She's from the Sesame Street.
Yeah, we're going to be having

1009
00:48:25,960 --> 00:48:27,880
Leslie.
Kyra Rudolph.

1010
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:31,280
She's going to be here.
I met her at another convention,

1011
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:33,720
believe it or not, Kids Comic
Con in the Bronx.

1012
00:48:34,360 --> 00:48:36,120
You know, she had her table
right next to me.

1013
00:48:36,320 --> 00:48:41,200
Very warm for any woman.
I talk to her and I say I got to

1014
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:43,920
have you come to the library
even if it's not for M Con, I

1015
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:46,800
think you'll be great just to
have a great addition to come in

1016
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:49,360
and maybe for our children's
programs or anything like that.

1017
00:48:49,640 --> 00:48:52,000
She's going to be here and now
only that she's going to be with

1018
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,360
you, Mark, at one of our first
panels, that of the day on

1019
00:48:55,360 --> 00:48:59,040
Saturday on April 25th at 12:00.
You're going to be doing a.

1020
00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,520
It came from the radio Q&A with
her.

1021
00:49:01,680 --> 00:49:02,280
I am.
Yeah.

1022
00:49:02,800 --> 00:49:04,200
So you.
Know, and she's going to be out

1023
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:05,360
here.
And she's going to be talking

1024
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,040
about her foundation.
She does a lot of non charity

1025
00:49:08,040 --> 00:49:12,080
and non profit work for cancer
kids, things like that too.

1026
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:14,600
So she going to be promoting
that and you know, we get to

1027
00:49:14,600 --> 00:49:18,400
meet her and what was it?
I want her puppets here too as

1028
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:20,400
well.
So she going to be here and

1029
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,840
magician mentalist.
Robin Channing.

1030
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,760
He does like magic tricks, My
reading.

1031
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,360
Very interesting.
Yeah.

1032
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:29,920
We're having so much.
Things going on and let me just

1033
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:32,440
go down the list here, if you
don't mind here.

1034
00:49:32,720 --> 00:49:35,480
So basically if you're into
cosplay, we're going to have

1035
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:39,480
Rizuki cosplay who've been, I've
been having her as a fan

1036
00:49:39,480 --> 00:49:42,960
favorite every year.
I think since it has to be since

1037
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:46,920
like 2014, if not longer.
She going to be doing a cosplay

1038
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,760
teaching people how to join the
cosplay community and about

1039
00:49:50,760 --> 00:49:52,680
clothing and costuming and what
not.

1040
00:49:52,680 --> 00:49:56,360
That's going to be on April 25th
at 1:00 right after your panel

1041
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:58,440
there, Mark, she going to be
downstairs in the makerspace

1042
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,560
room.
And then as you mentioned, at

1043
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,240
1:30 in the big huge community
room, we're going to be having

1044
00:50:03,240 --> 00:50:05,960
Robin Channing.
He's the mentalist and mind

1045
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,600
vendor.
Another guest of Mark Torres

1046
00:50:08,600 --> 00:50:11,120
here at They came from the room.
I wonder where I get all from?

1047
00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,520
Yeah, so I mean, if you like
magic.

1048
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,200
Tricks and and things that make
it go ooh and ah and and

1049
00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,600
wondering how he bent that spoon
with his mind.

1050
00:50:20,920 --> 00:50:23,760
I would recommend definitely
coming in that program.

1051
00:50:23,760 --> 00:50:26,680
I definitely guarantee it's
going to be a, should I say it,

1052
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:29,320
a head banger.
So, you know, it's definitely

1053
00:50:29,320 --> 00:50:31,560
going to be a good program.
He always pretty much fills up

1054
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:34,320
the room every time he comes in.
And it's not his first rodeo

1055
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:36,160
with us.
And he's going to be coming in I

1056
00:50:36,160 --> 00:50:37,680
believe at 1:30 like I
mentioned.

1057
00:50:37,720 --> 00:50:40,600
And then if you're still in the
cosplay and we're going to have

1058
00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:46,240
a huge popular cosplay, when I
met this man back in Eternal Con

1059
00:50:46,240 --> 00:50:49,720
a few years back, I said to him,
you're going to do things.

1060
00:50:49,720 --> 00:50:51,360
You're going to do big, huge
things.

1061
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:53,720
And I see that his name is Sir
Julius.

1062
00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:56,960
He's going to be doing a cosplay
panel at 2:15.

1063
00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:02,000
He uses, he does a lot of 3D art
where he makes his cosplay

1064
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:03,800
accessories along with his
costumes.

1065
00:51:04,120 --> 00:51:06,840
And as you see that yeah, he has
like that big huge sword.

1066
00:51:06,840 --> 00:51:10,120
He made that with a 3D printer.
Blue so.

1067
00:51:10,240 --> 00:51:13,200
Yeah, so he's going to.
Be here and he now he's like

1068
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:17,000
traveling all over.
He's like heard all around the

1069
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,840

like going to Japan and Tokyo,

1071

all these other places doing
judging and showing his work.

1072
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:32,440
And yeah, so I knew he was going
to go and be really huge.

1073
00:51:32,440 --> 00:51:34,280
So I know he definitely had to
grab him.

1074
00:51:34,360 --> 00:51:38,280
And at 3:00, we're going to have
our Kids Junior cosplay contest.

00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:16,000
Most of the most of the
conventions are a business.

1106
00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:16,720
Yes.
Yeah.

1107
00:53:16,720 --> 00:53:21,280
How do you manage to run a very
decent convention that's free?

1108
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,560
Where?
How do you get the money?

1109
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,360
Where?
Where do you make the stand for

1110
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,600
grants?
Sponsorships, we also have like

1111
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:32,200
basically a very known profit
that we can spend for those

1112
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:37,280
things, but mostly it's grants.
So does that make?

1113
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:41,400
It easier or more difficult to
make the convention knowing that

1114
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:45,200
there's no bottom line to it.
Well, if you if you want the.

1115
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,040
Big leagues if you want like
people coming traveling from

1116
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,920
Hollywood, Yeah, yeah, it's a
it's a trouble, it's a problem

1117
00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,400
with it.
Well, you know, but as long as

1118
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,240
you get the the audience, what
they what they need and what

1119
00:53:55,240 --> 00:53:58,800
they want is what they want is
basically to enjoy themselves.

1120
00:53:58,800 --> 00:54:01,480
What they need is to network
with people that's in the

1121
00:54:01,480 --> 00:54:03,440
community that they want to be
involved in.

1122
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:06,360
So I try to offer that as best
as possible.

1123
00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:09,840
I cannot always get that famous
popular voice actor or that

1124
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:14,680
famous popular actor himself.
So that's sometimes it's a very

1125
00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:18,880
challenging situation.
But we do bring in, in the past,

1126
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:22,640
you know, a lot of people that's
in the industry like Brittany

1127
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:28,200
Lauder from JoJo Bizarro, Quinn
Flynn and Michelle Knox from

1128
00:54:28,200 --> 00:54:31,000
Pok��mon.
So we had a, a decent amount of

1129
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,400
voice actors come through here
that's in the industry.

1130
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:35,520
People get the meet and greet
and stuff like that nature.

1131
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:39,640
So I don't find this, it's, it's
challenging, but it's just as

1132
00:54:39,640 --> 00:54:42,440
long as you with the you work
within the budget and you give

1133
00:54:42,440 --> 00:54:45,000
the people what they want and as
long as everyone leaves with

1134
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:49,280
smiles and no one injured and
hurt, I think it's a success for

1135
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,080
me.
That's what I tell a lot of

1136
00:54:51,080 --> 00:54:52,680
people.
I have a lot of people that come

1137
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:55,040
to me who start their own
convention at libraries.

1138
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:58,800
I'm actually going to be
partaking in a library panel,

1139
00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,920
believe or not, starting your
own convention at libraries with

1140
00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:04,360
a few other people from other
libraries.

1141
00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:06,680
So they teach other library how
to make their own.

1142
00:55:07,080 --> 00:55:10,160
And I always tell them, don't
look at the numbers, especially

1143
00:55:10,160 --> 00:55:13,120
if this your first year,
especially if this your first

1144
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:16,640
year, don't look at the numbers.
Just look at how many smiles are

1145
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:20,440
leaving or coming in and they're
saying thank you and they feel

1146
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:22,800
you get gratitude and then no
one's hurt.

1147
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:26,080
That's a that's a successful day
and people definitely look

1148
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:28,200
happy.
To be there, yes, yes, it's

1149
00:55:28,240 --> 00:55:30,400
great vibes.
You have a good a good amount of

1150
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,560
followers and I.
Appreciate you all and I always

1151
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:36,280
tell them none of this will be
possible your participation so

1152
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:38,240
since the convention is free.
You don't have anything to

1153
00:55:38,240 --> 00:55:43,160
raffle away for the the show.
All right, we do have two free

1154
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:46,000
tickets to the Long Island
Trading Card Game show.

1155
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:47,640
It's a 2 day show in Nassau
Coliseum.

1156
00:55:47,640 --> 00:55:51,640
We want to thank the LITCG guys

This show, congratulations.
We're almost out of time.

1165
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,320
So Kelly, final thoughts.
Final thoughts.

1166
00:56:19,600 --> 00:56:22,320
Thank you.
For allowing me to promote and

1167
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:26,040
I'm and I'm very honored to be
the one of two guests.

1168
00:56:26,240 --> 00:56:30,200
I have to say, you know, you
know, I when I, when I was

1169
00:56:30,200 --> 00:56:33,360
getting, when I grew up, Yeah.
I'm still growing.

1170
00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:35,960
You know, I never pictured
myself.

1171
00:56:35,960 --> 00:56:38,320
I'm doing things like this, you
know, I'm starting my own

1172
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,640
convention, being an artist.
I always wanted to be an artist

1173
00:56:41,640 --> 00:56:44,480
when I was a kid.
But I, you know, I'm, you know,

1174
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:49,160
I feel happy that, you know,
doing what you love, you know, a

1175
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:52,320
step most one of the most
blessed things in life, you

1176
00:56:52,320 --> 00:56:54,560
know, is when you do things that
you love and you feel

1177
00:56:54,560 --> 00:56:57,400
comfortable about yourself and
love what you're doing.

1178
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:00,480
You know, besides, you know,
friends and family and

1179
00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:02,480
everything else.
But doing what you love is the

1180
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:05,640
most blessed full thing in life.
And I would always will tell

1181
00:57:05,640 --> 00:57:08,960
people, you know, do what you
love doing, you know, do what

1182
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:12,560
your dream is because life will
be so much happier and less

1183
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,880
stressful for you blood, you
know, blood pressure wise if you

1184
00:57:15,880 --> 00:57:17,960
just go for the stars and do
what you do.

1185
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,680
Exactly.
Pretty much same.

1186
00:57:20,680 --> 00:57:21,520
Thoughts.
But.

1187
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:26,640
I kind of cut out socializing,
like I very rarely do it outside

1188
00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:30,480
of work.
Stuff like 2023 and that, just

1189
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,400
doing that, it's a temporary,
you know, sacrifice.

1190
00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:37,360
I'm going to go back to that
eventually has allowed me at

1191
00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:42,120
least in the last few months to
like do what I love doing and I

1192
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:45,480
can do what he's talking about
because of that sacrifice to get

1193
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:48,920
there and not hanging out and
not really seeing friends.

1194
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,480
Well, with AI you don't have to.
Socialize anymore?

1195
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:53,240
Yeah, right.
No, I want to go.

1196
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:56,800
Back to you got to have
communities and all that, but

1197
00:57:56,800 --> 00:57:59,960
you have AI community, yeah.
You're right, you're right.

1198
00:58:00,080 --> 00:58:02,640
So my final thought is.
This thank you, Kelly, for not

1199
00:58:02,640 --> 00:58:06,480
only having the convention, but
also taking care of us all the

1200
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:10,080
easiest for our live show and
it's a really good event.

1201
00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,440
I really recommend it.
And as I've been telling you for

1202
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:16,240
years, the fact that it's a free
convention, it puts a lot of

1203
00:58:16,520 --> 00:58:18,280
convinced that you pay to to
shame.

1204
00:58:18,320 --> 00:58:19,880
It does.
And it's a really.

1205
00:58:19,880 --> 00:58:21,840
Great way to.
Bring the community together and

1206
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:24,760
I hope for much continuous sex
and you keep on doing this for

1207
00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:26,640
many years to come.
People like it.

1208
00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:28,680
So that is it.
For our show, for this.

1209
00:58:28,680 --> 00:58:30,680
Week.
We'll see you next time on this

1210

So that is it and we'll see you
all guys next time all.

1219
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:07,480
Right, you have been listening
to It Came from the radio with

The views of the show's hosts

1221
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:14,240

reflect that of the management,

1222
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:18,400
owners or staff of the.
Station, we now return you to
