What happens when a second-grade teacher decides at age 37 to completely reinvent herself as an actress? SAG performer Leesa Neidel takes us behind the curtain of her remarkable journey from Oklahoma classrooms to Hollywood film sets, sharing scenes with Matt Damon and navigating the unpredictable waters of the entertainment industry.
Leesa's candid reflections on becoming an acting instructor at The Actor Factory reveal how the skills learned in acting classes transcend performance—helping people from all walks of life overcome social anxiety and build professional confidence. "I've had lots of people take acting classes just to get better at talking to people at work," she explains, highlighting how the weekly practice transforms even the shyest students.
The conversation takes an honest turn as Leesa and podcast host Shane Harges discuss the emotional reality of being working actors—the intense preparation for auditions that often disappear into the void without feedback, the months between projects, and the strategies for staying creatively fulfilled during downtime. Their shared experiences offer a realistic glimpse into the industry rarely portrayed in glamorous Hollywood narratives.
Throughout the episode, Leesa's philosophy shines through: "If you're going to do something, go all in. Don't half-ass it, full-ass it." This mantra has guided her from her first Google search for "acting classes in Oklahoma" to upcoming film premieres and working alongside A-list talent. Her story powerfully illustrates that creative pursuits have no age limit—the perfect time to start is always now.
Between insights on actor preparation, filmmaking economics, and behind-the-scenes stories from various sets, this conversation delivers both practical wisdom for aspiring performers and inspiration for anyone considering a major life pivot.

Hopefully it doesn't happen again, but I can't guarantee it hopefully we're recording, oh recording, recording, we are, we are recording. Has that happened before? Yeah, oh, we, oh, we had one of the funniest episodes it's gone forever and I did a a scene reading.
Speaker 4I found an old movie, turned it outsides, had it marked for everybody. We went through this entire scene. It was from the movie Airplane and it was so damn funny.
Speaker 6I'm trying to remember a funny scene from that movie, the whole movie.
Speaker 4I think we did a couple of them.
Speaker 6Hang on the airplane with Denzel Washington.
Speaker 4No, no, leslie.
Speaker 6Nielsen.
Speaker 3Leslie Nielsen comedy.
Speaker 6I was like what?
Speaker 4That was not a serious movie not a serious, okay, yeah, like uh, the older white lady that speaks jive. Oh, it was. That episode was incredible and gone. It only got audio from our videos. It did not pick up the mic's audio and I didn't record on my roadcaster, I just totally forgot to. That would have got the audio for sure, and then I could put it both together. No, screwed it up, no, but our guest on the season five premiere is none other than lisa nidel hello.
Speaker 4Yes, she is a sag actress uh known for like still water 13 seconds minutes, but hey 13 minutes we only had 13 seconds to get that would be bad safe from a tornado. That would be bad, that would not be good. Yeah, 13 minutes and you have some stuff coming out this year.
Speaker 6Yeah, I'll actually be in LA this coming Friday, saturday and Sunday for a big premiere and a movie I did about a year and a half ago called the Comic Shop, with Jesse Metcalf and Tristan Mays. Made it into the beverly hills film fest and the director reached out and said he had a ticket for me, so to come on out, and that we had like the best spot you know in the whole film festival like the best time, the best theater. He's like he wanted the whole cast to be able to come. So, yeah, I'll be going out there for that. So that's coming out and it'll be streaming somewhere, I don't know, maybe amazon prime um, starting april 11th nice so that's awesome.
Speaker 3I'm excited. I can't wait to see. I haven't seen it yet. That'll be fun, what's?
Speaker 6that about it is about. So I have this son in it. He's the main character and we have to move around a lot because, uh, we're a military family and we moved to this new city and he's had this big dream forever to be a comic book illustrator, to become an illustrator. Well, I take him to the local comic book store and jesse metcalf is the owner of that and it's the whole story of his store is a mom paul and it's been around forever. And then the new big fancy one comes in down the street. So it's a save the mom paul slash. He mentors the kiddo that plays my son and has a. It's just a good family, friendly, like it's almost kind of like the movie Dodgeball.
Speaker 4Is it Globo Gym that comes in? That's the big gym that comes in with what's his face.
Speaker 5Vince Vaughn.
Speaker 4No, he's on the Ben.
Speaker 3Stiller.
Speaker 5Ben Stiller yes, globo Gym yeah, and they take over.
Speaker 4Yeah, well, that'll be fun.
Speaker 6Yeah, but in the end of the day he gets his dream, he gets to start, you know, going after the comic book illustrating stuff, and the little mom-pa comic book store makes it Aw, it has a good, a happy ending, and then I think the One comes out later this year Is that what Aaron might have said?
Inside the Actor Factory Classes
Speaker 6That's what they're shooting, they're shooting for obviously Christmas time because it was a Christmas movie that we just filmed. I filmed that in back in December and then a couple of days in January or a couple of days in December and a day in January Got that finished up and a day in January got that finished up and they're hoping, yes, to have that finished up and put out and released around Christmas of this year. So I hope that happens. That'd be a quick turnaround?
Speaker 4Yeah, it is. I think that's what she was shooting for. I think they are.
Speaker 3I think you're correct.
Speaker 4Yeah, and that filmed here in Oklahoma. Martin Sheen is in it. Filmed in Enid. Maybe someone else Guthrie?
Speaker 6Lisa Arnold was the director. She was amazing. Erin obviously crushed it with the script. She was a producer and the writer. She was so much fun to work with all of it Everyone involved. It was a great script. Another very feel good movie, yeah.
Speaker 4Yeah, we got. We got a little information on that when Aaron was on the podcast. So that was that was cool to hear her story about that. What else? Oh, you're an instructor at the Actor Factory.
Speaker 6Yes, I teach lots of classes at the Actor Factory. We'll start new sessions. Actually this tomorrow and Tuesday, a whole brand new session starts. Shane, you were in there. What do we do?
Speaker 5I was.
Speaker 6What happens in there? What happens?
Speaker 4in there. Well, we start by playing Duck Duck Goose.
Speaker 3All on a nice little rug.
Speaker 4She's like okay, kids come sit on the rug. We play Duck Duck Goose. I think we made some cool pen and pencil holders out of old Campbell suit cans.
Speaker 6I wish I had not asked him.
Speaker 4Yeah, you shouldn't have. And then we end it the last day doing macaroni art.
Speaker 5Ooh, that's my favorite, which is real, really fun. Try not to eat it all, but no, I don't know, I may incorporate.
Speaker 6You're inspiring. You may all do some of that stuff in the next session. There you go.
Speaker 4You know, just break the ice. That's what they were. No, we do some cold reads and then Lisa will give us some redirects on the spot on how quick you can. You might have made a decision on your character right before the cold read and then Lisa will come back and it'll be something Probably totally opposite of what you decided to do. So you have to try to shift on the fly into that next character or whatever you want to call it, and we do that. Scenes yeah. So we do that, yeah, scenes.
Speaker 6Yeah, get to do partner scenes and start filling. You know what it is to work with somebody who has their own ideas and their own choices, and you've got to mesh them together and flesh the scene out. And we do background stories. Know how important that is, because if you're going to step into somebody's shoes and live their life in this moment that you're, you know, recording on tape or recording for an audition, or you know, hopefully, a scene in an actual movie on set, then you got to know this person inside and out. So that's what those backstories are vital. So we do that monologues.
Speaker 4Um, like lisa has uh said many times in her classes, have at least one monologue in your back pocket if you need it, and two so that, uh, you have something to contrast and compare. Yep, uh, maybe drama, and then maybe the other one's comedy or you know whatever, but uh just to show your array of skills.
Speaker 5Right, this isn't really for shy people.
Speaker 4No, Well, I mean, I think there are there are though.
Speaker 6There are though you, you can. They think it's not for them, but really it is, because I've even had lots of people actually not even just a few, but I've been teaching up there for three and a half years now and I've had lots of people just take an acting class. They're like I just want to get better at talking to people and at work, I just got this promotion and I have to start presenting two people. And, you know, at work, I just got this promotion and I have to start presenting, and they're like I literally, you know, need to learn how to even be able to be up in front of people. And so it's amazing, the practice week after week, how much more comfortable people get. I love watching them, you know, settle into their own skin and be like I can do this. I've made it into this big hard thing and it's not.
Speaker 6So we take baby steps, because I teach a really beginner class and that's my Sunday class. It's acting technique and we take baby steps. We start from the absolute bottom. Like you know, people that have never heard, you know the verbiage that goes with the industry, like sides and slate and stuff like that. We start from the very bottom. So it's a good jumping off place if you're interested or if you're in there to just get to be a better, more comfortable person in front of other people. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4So I've been in classes with people that you tell were were very brand new to acting and had that kind of. I don't really want to fully open up in front of people or in front of the camera and you actually get to see how much they grow out of that through the six, eight weeks, however long the class is.
Speaker 6It's pretty cool.
Speaker 4I've told Lisa that I even learned from the other actors in the room.
Speaker 6Oh, absolutely.
Speaker 4Because each person is going to have a different perspective on how they approach that character or that role that they're put in. Yeah, so I may do it one way. And then someone else jumps up later and they're reading the same thing. I'm like, oh, I didn't even think of that. Why didn't I think of it? Yeah, but it's like, okay, I see where you went with it and just kind of you kind of learn from each other and in class.
Speaker 4So you're not only getting information from the instructor but from other creatives in the room.
Speaker 6You absolutely do, because I took classes at the actor factory for 10 years. I've been up there a long time and I'm telling you I always loved when I was kind of like the greenest one in the room because I would learn the most in that class. I loved whenever everybody else was just on like level 10 and I was still down in level three or four, you know, and Chris and Daryl and some of the folk Daryl, you know he doesn't teach up there anymore, but he did for years and Chris for sure, he'd always be like don't ever be the best one in class. What are you going to gain from that? Really, try to always be in a class where you're like okay, that's where I want to be.
Speaker 6You know, and it's true, what Shane just said is I learned so much from the other actors in those classes over all those years and I mean they would, they in those classes over all those years, and I mean they would, they would make a choice and I'm not kidding you, I would have an audition, even a year later, two years later, and be like I'm going to dip into that what I saw that one actor do in class that time and kind of apply it to this character and it does. It just grows you as an actress or actor for sure. Yeah.
Speaker 4So I recently auditioned for a feature film and probably and it it was my second in-person audition, because the industry has moved to self-tapes for the most part.
Speaker 4Yeah, um, the first in-person audition I wish I could just erase away, not not because of what I did was cringe, but what the project ended up being and how the person running this project was very much taking advantage of people and taking more advantage of kids and younger talent that weren't represented yet, but they didn't have an agent.
Audition Realities and Industry Struggles
Speaker 4And the ironic part of it is that the show, series, movie, whatever it was supposed to become was about child protective services and here's this person taking advantage of these kids with no agents. So when my agent, christina, got word what was going on with this project, she texted me and was like probably everybody that was represented by her involved in this. She was like, hey, run, run now. And I said, hey, you know more than I do, uh, and you probably got some background information on certain things. No problem, I'm Yep. And that thing went nowhere and that person running that personally, I hope, ruined their reputation, because that's not what we need in this growing industry in Oklahoma is people taking advantage of others when this industry is hot and getting ready to explode even more.
Speaker 5Somebody always got piss in the pool.
Speaker 4I know, I know Baby Ruth in the pool. That's what it was. It was very shitty, very shitty of her. Did you always want to get into acting?
Speaker 6Actually, no, I never even thought it up until about 10 years ago when I got in, even thought it up until about 10 years ago when I got in. Before that, you know, I was just, I had little kids and I worked a full-time teaching job and I taught second. Well, I taught first grade for a while and then second for a while and I was just, you know, just staying. You know, never had a minute to think about anything I actually wanted to do. Well, I had stepped away from teaching and just to kind of take a breather and finish raising my kid. I was having to get rides for my kid. It was crazy. So I was like I need to just be a stay at home mom for a little bit.
Speaker 6Well, I did end up taking a little part-time job at a place across town and I'd get there and I'd get all my work done literally within an hour. So, cause, you know, when you're a teacher, any other job is simple as can be. They thought they were giving me all this work and I was like, oh, I can have that done in no time. So I would then have a lot of time to sit. And that's when it came to me. I was like, okay, this, this job isn't gonna cut it, but I do have a little too much time on my hands because, you know, my kids were in school. So I was like, what would be fun, what would I be good at, what? What would I, you know, find interesting?
Speaker 6And acting just kept coming and I was just telling myself like stop, you live in Oklahoma, you know, and, mind you, this was way before all this was going on. I mean, there'd be little here and there, this and and that, nothing much. And so I just Googled acting class. I couldn't get it out of my head and this was about 10, 11 years ago. And I Googled acting classes in Oklahoma and the acting factory popped right up and I took my first class and never looked back and became SAG two years later. And I actually became SAG-E eight months later, actually SAG eligible. And then I joined SAG about a year after that because I had been cast in a pilot out in Atlanta that had been been picked up by a company in LA and it got moved completely out there but you know it was a pilot situation and went, you know it didn't work out.
Speaker 6It didn't work out, but you know it was a pilot situation and when you know it didn't work out, it didn't work out. But here I am. Now I'm a SAG member, which is fine. It's opened a lot of doors for me to be a SAG member out in this area. I know it's what landed me my Atlanta agent. Even though that's a right to work state as well, she only hires on or adds a talent to her roster that are sag, so she's a you know big up-and-coming agency out there. So I know that it's helped. But yeah, in oklahoma you do not have to join sag it since we're a right to work. Yeah, in order to get plenty of work around here, but yeah yeah, um to that audition I was talking about with me.
Speaker 4uh, what I was going to tie in there was that audition went so well and your class helped me redo the scene two more times in a different tone and I was able to on the spot, just love that I love it.
Speaker 6I can be so happy because, you know, I teach that in my class and we do it and we practice it. And I don't know if some people are thinking, gosh, he's, you know why are we doing that. But it happens and it's happened to me and I try to always do to you guys what I've experienced, so that you're not on the spot going, oh okay, I haven't practiced this or I haven't been given this opportunity to have this moment, so that made me so—you sent that in an email and it made my whole day because it does happen. And I'm telling you you're prepared. You're ready. They want you to be British or what.
Speaker 4I don't. I want to get booked. That's another part of the industry I was going to talk about. I'll jump into it right now. The time between projects, the downtime, is heart-wrenching like take your own movies well, you want to.
Speaker 4I'll get into that too, because I wish I could. Um, but the downtime has been what's hard for me. And I just had a talk, uh, with an actor buddy of mine, a, a lover, lisa Fenimore. We just had a talk for the past couple of days and, uh, just you, you, no one understands very well how much preparation goes into auditioning. Yeah, because you're, you're trying to find that character's voice, you want it to be, you coming, this is you as this mob boss or oil field worker, and and you put so much effort into preparing yourself, getting your equipment together getting getting set up, recording it, editing what you need to.
Speaker 4There's so much work going in you throw those auditions out, you get them submitted, you don't hear nothing and that's just the business. That's fine. But it's almost like if you put out tons of applications to get, uh, a new job somewhere and you never hear anything. You never hear anything back. You only hear back generally hey, you want to confirm your booking when? Your agent contacts you other Other than that?
Speaker 5So you don't even hear like a eh nah, f off. Generally no.
Speaker 4Every so often I have gotten probably I've been acting now four years, maybe going on four or over four. I have maybe heard once or twice back from the production staff that, hey, we loved what you did, but you just we had to go another way, whatever.
Speaker 6I got very rare. In 10 years I've gotten one and they email me back and they're like we just needed somebody. We wanted you, we wanted you, but I wasn't going to be local. It was in a different state and they didn't say I had to be local, but they couldn't afford the project. Just needed that specific character to be local.
Speaker 4And then I did one audition. I won't name the project, but I really wanted it because who stars in it? I read for one part. They got back with Christina, my agent, and was like hey, freaking loved it, but we want him to read for this part. And so I prepped that, did that, submitted that, submitted that they were like that was fantastic, please have him read for this part now. I read for that part and then I think they came back one more time oh my gosh I submitted that nothing, nothing like what so?
Speaker 5just give me the first one I auditioned for if I did so good on it.
Speaker 4Yeah, like what? So close, just give me the first one I auditioned for if I did so good on it, like I don't know Anyway.
Speaker 6There's no rhyme or reason. You will never figure it out. You will not. Let's just let the actor land people who want it. You will never figure it out. There's not a rhyme or reason. But during the downtime, like shane said, classes are great. Get it, jump into a class, read a book, um, just fill your life with hobbies and people and family and and live a full life. That's what you got to do, because then you have that full life to give to any of these characters. The more life you live, you know, the better off you are to step into different people.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 6So live a full life.
Speaker 4So I started screenwriting and have my first screenplay written. It's complete, got a pitch deck. And when you talk about make your own movies, man, I wish I could, I really do, but but to now know the money that goes behind making something that's quality not like our home movies not like the home movies.
Speaker 4We used to do watchdog home videos and things like that, even though those might have better quality than some things I've seen. Yes, and better acting? Yeah, probably Probably, but there's so much money behind it and for special effects for the camera gear alone.
Speaker 3Alone and the insurance.
Speaker 4To get quality material To put out a product that you would want anybody to see. That costs some money, and then you've got to pay all the people right, yeah, yeah, some money and then you got to pay all the people, right yeah, yeah unless people are like, hey, I'll do it for imdb credit or for pizza. I I can, um, I can use the footage for a reel that I need to put together, a demo reel, which it's got to be good footage that you want on your reel.
Speaker 6Good sound.
Speaker 4Yeah, sound, good sound. The crew is where you want to spend the good money. Yes, that's what's not talked about. Enough is. You can talk about actors all day long. Whatever there's so many of us, they're really good crew there's not a whole lot of, and they are the most valuable piece. When you actually get on a set and you see everything the entire crew does, it is crazy they are they're working their asses off yeah, yeah how's it going?
Speaker 5anybody watching.
Speaker 4Can you see uh?
Speaker 2yeah, there's people on oh, hi well, nice, I don't.
Speaker 4I don't know how to tell how many. Uh just says you know join, join, join.
Speaker 5What do we do?
Speaker 4nice, your fans, bro. All right, well, that's cool. That's cool. We'll see how it goes later. We'll get the analytics later. Yeah, yeah, comment, send us some questions. Tiktok Something Join the conversation. Don't just sit there and watch from the shadows.
Speaker 6Ask me anything, ask us stuff.
Speaker 4Oh no. So were you born and raised here in Oklahoma, or are you an Okie? She's an Okie, I'm an.
Speaker 6Okie Threw and threw Raised in Tuttle.
Speaker 3America when I was in Tuttle Tuttle.
Speaker 6Tigers, it was not big how it is now. We were little bitty Way out in the middle of nowhere. Is what it felt like 35 people maybe. I mean even in 1996 when I graduated, I only graduated with 70 people. And so now the classes are hundreds, 200-ish more. So I mean they're competing 5A and stuff. I'm like, oh my God, we were a little bitty, a, 1a I think. By the time I left we were barely 3A, barely.
Speaker 4And now Tuttle's just huge. I graduated from mustang in 95 and I want to say we had 300 and something maybe must be was always bigger than us. I had like 500 and something in mine yeah, yeah, and it grew by then and now it's just huge, unrecognizable yeah, that's how I feel about tuttle.
Speaker 6I go out there, my sister still lives out there and I'm like this is not where we grew up.
Speaker 5Do they have a Chick-fil-A? I don't think so. Mustang does oh.
Speaker 6I know she goes to Mustang a lot on that little road that opened up. Yeah, and Panda Express.
Speaker 4Where everybody gets a speeding ticket across that bridge between Tuttle and Mustang.
Speaker 5Yes, what is that? Highway 7?, 4?, something like that, 47?.
Speaker 6Yeah, I don't know. You can name any number. We'd go, yeah, highway 74.
Speaker 4Thanks, Highway Northwest.
Speaker 6Highway 69.
Speaker 4Of course, highway Northwest, of course.
Speaker 6Yeah, but that's why I never really thought about acting. I mean, because I grew up in Tuttle there was no acting or anything like that. Did y'all have drama? There was drama when my older sister was in high school, but by the time I got to the high school there was no drama. I guess that teacher either retired or the funding got cut. I mean there was nothing. But my sister was in drama, my older sister for like one year, but I probably wouldn't have even got in then. And then I went to uco, became a teacher. I didn't even think about it until way I was 37 when I took my very first acting class. That's another thing I like to tell people like it's not too late. It's, it's never too late. Start now, start now yeah, please, start now.
Speaker 4Don't be, don't be like me and wait till you're 40s yeah, because how old were you in your first acting class?
Speaker 5Last year.
Speaker 4Yesterday no, I would have been like 44.
Speaker 343, 44.
Speaker 6Yeah.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 6Don't wait, guys Get in.
Speaker 4And that's who I also want to thank is Cody Mayo, cody.
Speaker 5Mayo.
Speaker 4He's wonderful, yes, up in Tulsa, cody Mayo. He wonderful. Up in Tulsa, um, cody Mayo studios, um great, great classes up there as well. Um, I started there first because my schedule wasn't aligning yet for anything at the actor factory and I was like I need to do something and Cody had a weekend intensive and I went there and, uh, immediately had a great connection with Cody and the other actors in the class Do they haze you yeah it was bad.
Speaker 4It was bad. Cody gave me. Cody gave me a wedgie and a swirly, Almost at the same time.
Speaker 6I did not hate you to act.
Speaker 5You're the nice, I was nice.
Speaker 4It was like hand, hand wedgie, dunk flush All at once. All at once. It was crazy.
Speaker 5But it taught you something.
Speaker 4And now we're buddies. Yeah, it really bonded us.
Speaker 5Can't really haze people anymore.
Speaker 4I've heard no, it's frowned upon. It is frowned upon Everyone's sensitive.
Speaker 4But a lot of my I hate to say it but majority of my acting buddies are up in Tulsa Because Cody also his studio. He puts on a retreat every year and different actors aligned with his studio go to these retreats and he does more training, usually a guest speaker to kind of kick off the retreat speaker. To kind of kick off the retreat he pairs people up to do we do like our own little. It's almost like the 48 hour film contest but we have like only a few hours to get everything together and write a scene and set everything up, and that's a challenge.
Speaker 6And then we have a little contest.
Speaker 4at the end there's awards which.
Speaker 4None I had one up. Yeah, the first year of the retreat, me and my scene partner won Best Scene and then Best Use of the Secret Word. So, just like 48 hour they'll have like a phrase or a word. You have to somehow creatively put it in. You know, and you don't know what genre it's in, you know it could be a comedy. Luckily ours was comedy and my scene partner very funny dude, so that was his wheelhouse as well. So we nailed it and then he won. He won again last year with some other people in a scene, so he's a two-time winner.
Speaker 6Two-timer. That's awesome. That stuff is so fun to do. Yeah, stuff like that is so fun.
Speaker 5You get to be creative, yeah, so Cody's great, so fun.
Speaker 4You get to be creative yeah.
Speaker 5So Cody's great. That would give me anxiety.
Speaker 4So if you're in the Tulsa area, look up Cody. If your schedule doesn't fit what their class's schedule or the thing you want to take isn't there and it's at the Actor Factory go to the Actor Factory.
Speaker 5Where's Actor Factory? Right here in Norman. Right here in Norman Is that the Actor Factory Go to the Actor Factory. Where's Actor Factory? Right here in Norman, right here in Norman.
Speaker 6Right here in Norman and we've got the Albin Method. Another teacher teaches that the Jester Method, there's a whole array. And then Chris does a demo camp where you get real footage that you can do, and he does two or three of those a year. Yeah, it's got everything you need. If you're more in the metro area, check out the actor factory, guys. It's. It's a complete. You will become a well-rounded actor or actress can you just go and watch people um, I mean you can't.
Speaker 6I had a guy actually do that in the last acting technique class. He paid and and came he goes. I do not have, he goes. I actually want to be a director, that's my goal. He goes. So I am just here to listen to you direct, you know give notes and you know help them get better, and I'm here to see what choices and how they tackle different scenes. He just sat and watched every week, but that doesn't happen very often, didn't?
Speaker 5throw tomatoes? No, not that mean happen very often, most people want it.
Speaker 4Didn't throw tomatoes.
Speaker 5No, oh Not, that mean Not that mean People do that, not that mean, how did that even start?
Speaker 6I would not allow it. I would not allow it. No violence, nice and sneaky. How did the tomato?
Speaker 4throwing start yeah that's good, that's a good point.
Speaker 5I don't know Italy or something. There's a lot of tomatoes.
Speaker 4There's just a lot of tomatoes.
Speaker 5Is that where they come from? A lot of pasta.
Speaker 4They're throwing noodles at them, yeah.
Speaker 3Slap you with a manicotti.
Speaker 5That's how they started throwing tomatoes. How did it start somewhere?
Speaker 4I'm sure it was there.
Speaker 5For some reason. Why was it tomato?
Screenwriting and Film Production Challenges
Speaker 4Probably way back in the day where all the roads were mud and dirt and Shakespeare was doing a play, or you had people doing Shakespeare and no one understood what the hell they were saying.
Speaker 3So they were just throwing potatoes and tomatoes.
Speaker 4No, that would hurt. What do your daughters think of your acting?
Speaker 6Oh, my daughters, because now they're grown, I mean 10 years later. They were 10 and 12 when I got in and they're 22 and 20 now, almost 21 and 23. Um, they love it, they're proud of me, they think it's amazing. They can't believe I, they're like mom you just I can't believe you went after that and then, like you've been in a scene with Matt Damon, but they do get tired of being my reader.
Speaker 6I get lots of, and my one that went off to OSU. She's like I'm out of the you know, off the clock on that now, on being mom's reader. So no, they're proud Because you know we're always a family. You decide to do something, go all in, don't have to do it, don't you know we're always a family.
Speaker 4Like you decide to do something, go all in, don't have to do it, don't you know?
Speaker 6Don't half-ass it, yeah, full-ass it, full-ass, yes. And so they're like, well, you showed us. I mean. So I was like, yeah, I'm glad I did, because I wouldn't have been sitting here telling them all these years Don't half-ass stuff. Girls, don't give up. And you know so they're. They're very proud of me, they, they're my biggest cheerleaders. They're sweet about it, they're cute. They're like mom, what are you gonna do if you have to kiss someone and it's not dad? I, luckily, I've never had to.
Speaker 6I've never even had to come close like I think thank goodness I, I, because I do not know I, I would have to prepare myself for that. I've been married for 20, almost 26 years Been together for 28. He's a piece of ass and what's so sad is my husband's like well, enjoy it.
Speaker 2Enjoy it.
Speaker 6It's fine. He's very laid back and could care less. Just could not care less. But that's their thing that they're hung up on. They're like we're not going to be able to watch that. I was like I'm not going to be able to watch it either.
Speaker 3Have you done scary movies.
Speaker 6What have you done? Scary movies I have. I've done a couple, actually. I did one called the Shifter a long time ago. We got into CineQuest. I got into every film, film festival I think that they put it in for and then covet happened.
Speaker 6We got to do cine quest and midway through cine quest the whole world shut down. We barely got to fly home. That was in san jose, california, and we went out there for the big that was our world premiere of it, and the, the we did get to have our world premiere and then two or three days later, the whole festival shut down and everyone had to go home.
Speaker 2Did you get COVID?
Speaker 6Did I get COVID? Not from that. I actually didn't get COVID until after I had my COVID shot.
Speaker 5That's happened to me too A year and a half later that's happened to me too, yeah. I got it last year and I didn't get it before that.
Speaker 6Yeah, when it all first happened, I didn't ever get it. And then when they, you know, I thought I was doing everything right, but it still wasn't bad, it barely affected. I didn't even know, I really didn't even know. I had it till, I just couldn't taste, yeah, and I was like oh, this isn't.
Speaker 5I remember getting my mouth washed and was like yeah, that didn't what's going on.
Speaker 6And then I was smelling everything, yeah, but luckily we didn't.
Speaker 5And we were terrified because we were in california when it was brand new.
Speaker 6It was like what the yeah, we flew like in the big middle of it and then got home and you're on an airplane, everyone's coughing and my husband's a firefighter, so he was really around it, but he didn't get it for like a year as well.
Speaker 4So we got, we got lucky. Yeah, I got the OG COVID. I'm not sure where or how I got it, but got OG COVID and I woke up and then I was doing something that I was washing my hands with some of my favorite hand soap in the kitchen. You smell your fingers, this peppermint stuff, and, yeah, it's my favorite hand soap in the kitchen.
Speaker 4You smell your fingers this peppermint stuff and yeah, it's always like I love the smell. Hey, casey, is this soap old? Does the soap expire? Like lose its scent or something? She was like no and I was like, uh, okay, hold on. So then went to the uh pantry and pulled out every seasoning I could, like spicy, no, I can't smell. And she goes, stop bullshitting me and I was like I can't smell.
Speaker 5She was like oh shit.
Speaker 4And then I think she just went because maybe I did. So I think she just went because maybe I did, but we both got positive tests on Valentine's Day. Was that 2020?
Speaker 6Or whatever it was 2021?. Probably the next year, because Valentine's Day, I didn't even know what it was yet.
Speaker 4Yeah, it was like spring break. It was spring break because we were at Cinequest in San Jose, california, and it was like, yeah, yeah, and I remember we had to go to, we went to the CVS here in Norman and they had like a separate building and it was like this is weird if we, if we test positive, are they gonna like? Are they gonna like yeah, they're gonna bound us and like put us somewhere.
Speaker 5This is weird.
Speaker 4And uh swab you know your brain. And uh, I think I told the lady, uh, sorry for what you pull out nasty, but yeah, I remember the kids having to do that the first time, when they used to have to go all the way up here and they were in their car seats in the back seat.
Speaker 5So they were strapped in and they were just screaming because they wouldn't let you out of the car.
Speaker 6They just did it in the drive through.
Speaker 5I remember doing it in the car, yeah they were so and then I think sawyer went first, so molly watched, so then by the time they got to her she was like oh yeah, like pull her hands down it was so dramatic.
Speaker 6She's never gonna forget that. No, they were like, but I got it.
Speaker 4I got it really bad. Um, and I think part of the reason and people can talk about their conspiracy theories but I was at the highest weight, uh, I've been in my life. I think I was, if I wasn't 270, I was a little bit above it. I really let myself go. But I got super sick. I didn't sleep for probably two or three days I don't want to say I was up the entire time. I probably in that three days, maybe three hours of sleep. I couldn't eat. I knew I was hungry but I would take a bite of something and my body would say that is gross.
Speaker 2Stop.
Speaker 4You're going to throw up, and so I couldn't eat, and I think I lost at least 20 pounds within a week and a half timeframe. Oh my God. Now it kickstarted my weight loss journey there you go, there's a silver lining.
Speaker 4And when I, when I first started acting maybe even just right before that I had got all the way down to like two the low, two twenties, very low two twenties, and felt great. And then, of course, um, that wasn't a healthy way to do it and all that weight started coming back when started living regular again. But now I'm back on that yeah, I'm back on that fitness kick, uh, doing fight camp boxing.
Speaker 5Man, I need to, I just don't care, I just can't get motivated.
Speaker 6I just started at Hot Works about a month ago, Dude you like that. I love it. I kind of want to do that and I have seen results faster than anything else I've tried in a long time because I like to be healthy and work out and feel good and I have been trying things and gym would just wasn't doing it for me anymore. And then I started at hot works and more and love it.
Speaker 4Yeah, I wanted something that I would love to do. Yep, um, it's gotta be fun, yes, and so I discovered fight camp and, uh, my job, my full-time job, can frustrate the living hell out of me big time, and boxing helps me with that. That anger.
Speaker 4Sometimes that would, that would get pinned up and uh, and so now, uh, five days a week I'm out in the garage on the bag doing boxing workouts. It's been great, uh, and I think I've been doing it now for about four or five weeks and I've healthily lost I'm probably down about 11 to 12 pounds that's perfect and that for that.
Speaker 4Yes, and so what it also did is I did start out kind of slow, I wasn't going as hard, so I could build the habit of working out almost every day. Like I said, I do take two rest days. Usually it's a Wednesday and Saturday. Like I said, I do take two rest days, usually it's a Wednesday and Saturday, but that next day after the rest day.
Speaker 6I am just ready to go, like I need to.
Speaker 4Right, you're like, okay, let's go. So I've set that habit now. I have other habits, and that's not doing workouts, that is brownies and cookies.
Speaker 5Watching.
Speaker 6Dateline Dateline huh, I like Dateline.
Speaker 5True crime baby Sitting on the couch.
Speaker 4My co-host here, taylor Lee, has some cool news with your employee award right.
Speaker 5Oh, I got employee of the month $500 bonus.
Speaker 6That's way good news. Congratulations.
Speaker 4She's got a new office space. Is it open yet? Are you moved into it? No, not yet.
Speaker 5We moved some stuff in the building, but we're still behind.
Speaker 4Whatever, she's a top dog at her place of business, so that's nice to see.
Speaker 3Just fake it.
Speaker 4I think we all do to a certain extent. I've worked here almost 18 years it's been that long, huh yeah, you going to retire soon.
Speaker 5Yeah, I got to do another 18.
Speaker 4Isn't that so weird?
Speaker 5Actually it's like 17,. I think I had to do another 18. And that's so weird. Actually, it's like 17.
Speaker 4I think I added it up. Do y'all remember like back when we were kids and you saw like your friends, parents, were they retiring from places? Like at 20 years you?
Speaker 3know, 25 years.
Speaker 4And then they would. They would retire from that place. You know that is gone.
Speaker 6That's gone.
Speaker 5We have to beat the rule of 90.
Speaker 4Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 5So your age and your time work has to reach 90 for you to retire with full benefit.
Speaker 6Yeah, that's like with teaching.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 6I'm the rule of 90.
Speaker 4Yeah Me too.
Speaker 5So yeah, you got to teach till you're old. It's so weird, it's weird, I old. It's so weird, it's weird, I hate it. I hate it for people and then, when you can, finally retire and travel and do stuff you're old and you're tired.
Speaker 4You're old and you're like, can't do that fun shit anymore. I did watch a cool YouTube video. It was a guy that talked about how he took an early retirement and he compared his kind of financial situation with retiring early with his friend that waited the full time and the money difference was minimal.
Speaker 4And this guy that retired early was younger at the time than his friend that waited forever so he could travel, do the fun shit he wanted to do and his friend didn't get to have those memories and the guy was like you know and my buddy could have had severe medical issues later on and he's still working and now he doesn't get to enjoy retirement at all?
Speaker 6Isn't that everyone's worst fear ever? Yeah?
Speaker 5you retire and then you get cancer diagnosis.
Speaker 6I've seen that a lot. It's sad, it is sad.
Speaker 5Yeah, I don't want to do that. No, no.
Speaker 4But I started with the state way too late, so to get my rule of 90.
Speaker 5You have to be 90.
Speaker 4Yeah yeah, I got to work till I'm like 85. You will be 90. Yeah, yeah, so. So I'll be enjoying retirement on my hover round. It'll take me where I want to go. I'll drive that hover around to the Grand Canyon. Don't go over. No, I'm jumping. Yeah yeah, I'm just full throttle. All in, let's go full throttle. Yeah, full throttle, with the hover around right into the Grand.
Speaker 5Canyon. Well, if you make a blockbuster movie and make millions, god, I wish you could just give them the finger.
Speaker 4I know my hollywood so I feel like I feel like my screenplay unholy alliance is blockbuster.
Speaker 5Holy.
Speaker 4Alliance is something people would thoroughly enjoy and laugh and have a good time, a good experience.
Speaker 6Didn't you get to do a table read I?
Speaker 4did I did. That's exciting. I did with a bunch of my actor friends up in Tulsa volunteer to come help me and read. I'm sure they're being sincere and they all had a wonderful time. The room was filled with laughter. I got wonderful feedback from them, whether it was positive criticism or just how much they loved it. I knew the words they were speaking, you know I I do think they meant it, of course, and um, it was great and uh, I recorded it and I watched the video of the table read every so often that's exciting I watch and just listen to.
Speaker 4it was nice to hear all the characters I've created have a unique voice, Because up until then they all had my voice in my head from reading and writing and so seeing these actors just bring these characters to life and just if I could, I would have the money, I would cast all of them because they were fantastic. That's awesome. I just I do hope it gets made. I hope, and I'm sure everybody that writes a script hope it gets made. But mine is better. I'm sorry, I mean it just is. It's better. There's gags in this script you guys haven't even thought of.
Speaker 3And I'm not going to tell you right now.
Speaker 4I might tell Lisa when the camera's shut off.
Speaker 6Well, what's the next step? Let's go.
Speaker 4So Chris Hoyt is helping me out with trying to secure funding. Um, I did have a talk with him the other day. Um, there is interest in the script, but he did mention how financing in the industry is kind of weird right now, and the guy he was talking to that was interested. He's having a slow time getting funding and so it's just a waiting game. More more to be patient for, yeah, you know. So of course, we all want everything now, now, now maybe waiting a little bit.
Speaker 4maybe we get more funding and we can really kill this thing. Yeah, but either that. Are you going to cast?
Speaker 5Lisa in it.
Speaker 4There is a part.
Speaker 6Yes, but I didn't do the table read. He needs to use the person. Well, maybe somebody can. He said they were perfect.
Speaker 5Maybe somebody can.
Speaker 4They were good, maybe they need another mom, maybe somebody can't.
Speaker 5He said they were perfect. Maybe somebody can't. They were good. Maybe they need another mom.
Speaker 6The other issue is Lisa, but I would do it in a heartbeat, though you know that, yes, in a heartbeat.
Speaker 4Lisa's SAG. Oh, more than likely, this would be non-union right now as it sits. Now that doesn't mean that a SAG actor couldn't be cast, there's just more paperwork.
Speaker 6That's what happened a lot of hoops to jump through they did extra paperwork and to this day the Byrds brothers have a such a special place in my heart. Shout out to the Byrds brothers because they did all that extra paperwork to have me and Shifter and because they don't, because it was a non-union project. Sag doesn't want you to do those. There are just a lot. I have to follow lots of rules, lots of rules, um, but that's okay because then the union also protects you wonderfully.
Speaker 6Uh, there's lots of perks to be like I said it got me my atlanta agent. I know it did, and probably my chicago agent as well, because that is not a right-to-work area. So I bet you can't even not be. Well, I bet you could be saggy and still get an agent up there. But yeah, they did all that extra paperwork and, like I said, it got into everything they put it in, for we were supposed to go to the hollywood shorts, you know, but in it was going to be in august and I was like, oh, all this will be done, we're all going to la for this. That's a huge got in, that's a huge film festival and of course it it was not done, but yeah, so that I feel like that really kick-started a lot of stuff for me. Even though covid a little bit shut it down, it kickstarted this whole. You know, things can't happen. Things you know, cool stuff can happen.
Speaker 4Yeah, you've got to know where you're done. Scenes with Matt Damon, dean Cain right, yep.
Life in Oklahoma and Acting Dreams
Speaker 6That's how I got eligible. Superman, he's very sweet. Matt Damon is class act dude. You would think he would. You know he's just such a mega star, but he is the most down. It's like talking to shit. I was going to say he's like friendly good old boy. He's a good old boy, he does. He's just amazing.
Speaker 4He was really wonderful to work with he's good will, honey. How do you like?
Speaker 5them apples, so that's good, they're not a-holes.
Speaker 4Well, at least they weren't.
Speaker 6I've been with a couple you know, on set. But yeah, we're not going to talk about those folks, but yeah, I've had some great. You know, paz Vega was my scene partner in 13 Minutes and she was precious. She's another really big star and acted like no big deal. We're just working and you're the same as me and let's kill our scene.
Speaker 4So yeah, I've had a lot of my nephew Taylor's son, sawyer, more interested in drama or acting or something, but he made a little movie on his iPhone. We were all out at our parents' house right, I saw yeah. And he was doing a treasure like a treasure hunting with the other kids little video with his cousins and stuff and uh, put it all together right on his iphone and then played it for us. Yeah, that's awesome and it was so cool.
Speaker 4I was like man, you need to do this yeah but he is he said he might come out of that I mean how old is he?
Speaker 6He'll be 11 in July. That's amazing that he did that. Yeah, very, and that was.
Speaker 5YouTube videos, and that was a couple of years ago.
Speaker 4Him and his friends, so he was like nine, yeah, when he did that, like he's he likes got a knack for it.
Speaker 5He likes uh spielberg, maybe he likes that uh use the different apps and make videos and edit, but he likes to be in them too.
Speaker 4But again, if there was like a bunch of people watching, he'd be like which, if we end up getting to shoot unholy alliance, I will be asking my family hey, come be zombies, you don't have to act, do it. You know you don't have lines, but you're gonna. You can be zombies, because I there. There is a scene in unholy alliance, in this little fight with some zombies, where I think a character takes out like a Girl Scout or something. My niece, molly would be perfect.
Speaker 5She'd be a good zombie.
Speaker 4Yeah, she kind of likes that.
Speaker 5She's scary anyway.
Speaker 4I remember she wanted to watch the Walking Dead.
Speaker 5I want to watch that.
Speaker 4You're three.
Speaker 5She'd be like I remember she wanted to watch the Walking.
Speaker 4Dead. Yeah, I want to watch that.
Speaker 5Yeah, no, you're three yeah.
Speaker 4And she'd be like but she'd be great.
Speaker 5But yeah, there'll be.
Speaker 4Maybe you know we can find something for Sawyer as well, of course, and maybe that will help him kind of get over that Sounds like he needs to be your DP. He might. He might or he can. Oh, you know what, if we do do it, he could be the uh, he could do some of the behind the scenes kind of the photos videos that they do, um, they do those things and um, really, that's for casting crew. They'll show some of those photos and videos of the production.
Speaker 5He likes to make tornado short films too. He's a little obsessed with tornadoes.
Speaker 6Hey, my oldest is. She always loved them. She was never scared, she's like. I want to go outside and look, Mom no.
Speaker 5He kind of gets scared when it's real. But he watches a lot of youtube videos on tornadoes and then they reenact and make little movies in the house.
Speaker 4I love it like destroy the house, like throwing shit all around they're like hiding.
Speaker 5They're getting a bunch of snacks, taking them in the little hiding room. I'm like finding like fudge rounds in there ritz crackers are so old hidden in the little his hidey hole yeah, explains the mouse infestation I got roger for that oh yeah, roger little cat is a killer hey, how's tiktok live going over there?
Speaker 5let's check in say something hunter, it's happening, it's happening, it's live, it's live I didn't know you could tick tock that long. I thought tick tocks were like. Well, it's a live. This is a live tick tock so tick tock live.
Speaker 4I don't know what that. It's not just a tick tock video he's just streaming on facebook.
Speaker 5He's just streaming the entire thing. Yeah, I'm streaming so people could just watch the whole thing on TikTok.
Speaker 4Yeah, there's people on there.
Speaker 5I thought it was like I think I don't know. What's the difference in a TikTok reel?
Speaker 4Well, there's not a TikTok reel. Those are two separate things. Okay, so hey, I don't know either, I'm old. Tiktok Reels is Facebook, instagram. Those are those shorts.
Speaker 5So they make it shorter but they're longer on TikTok.
Speaker 4No.
Speaker 5Well, tiktok, you can do 15 seconds a minute, 10 minute videos, I thought they were all a minute long.
Speaker 4No, you can choose. You only have a few choices, though, but a TikTok live is just like if you went on Instagram live or YouTube live, where they can watch it in China. Right now it's happening real time. That's all that's it Do you have any other? Social media things you want to explain Don't fuck up X.
Speaker 5You know you can go viral, right?
Speaker 4yeah, that's not like you get to go on or something yeah, yeah, you know, you, you know if you go viral, you know I think the point is you want to try to go viral, so then, tiktok, youtube, facebook, instagram. Whoever sends you checks you. There's people that make money and their entire job, their business, is doing TikTok or Instagram.
Speaker 6Yeah, because when it went down for a day there, so people were freaking out.
Speaker 4I mean I was, because I use TikTok videos for the podcast. I mean it was real.

Speaker 3Let me throw it over here for everybody to see Herpes.
Speaker 4Rampant herpes virus could reach the brain via the nose, sparking behavior changes.
Speaker 6No.
Speaker 4What are the behavior changes? Like, I don't know. It just says a virus that most adults on earth have been exposed to which that's gross, don't tell me. That has a sneaky route into the brain and a world first study has now demonstrated that it can cause behavioral changes. While this form of infection thankfully appears to be rare, the authors do believe it merits more attention.
Speaker 6What's is this for real?
Speaker 4Is this going to? Are kids going to start using this excuse?
Speaker 6Yeah, yes.
Speaker 4I don't know why I didn't do my homework at school today, mom. I don't know.

Speaker 4can everybody just start bathing regularly?
Speaker 6oh, please come to my classroom and talk about that yeah, like I don't want to how herpes is.
Speaker 5I don.
Speaker 4Well, it says you can breathe it in. Right, you can breathe it in through the nose. I don't. I go to Walmart, right? I do some shopping at Walmart.
Speaker 5I don't think you can breathe herpes in that's what it says?
Speaker 4No, that's what it says it's like putting your nose where it don't belong. Rampant herpes virus could reach the brain via the nose.
Speaker 3That's not what that means. You've got to make some membranes in your nose Via the nose.
Speaker 4That's not what that means. So that stinky person in line right before you at Walmart in the self-checkout, I'm going to have to step back away from. That's not how you get herpes?

Speaker 4I still can't get videos to pick. Let me try this. Let me try.
Speaker 6Does this happen often, you know more than I want it to.
Speaker 4This is what happened to me.
Speaker 5Maybe it's because you're on TikTok Live, can only do TikTok one time, probably One at a time.
Speaker 4You know what it did? Do something when we went on TikTok Live. That's when the one opening video see went weird. Don't you have them saved to your computer? Oh, yeah, that's what I'm playing. Yeah, I mean, it ain't gonna have nothing to do with your tiktok life if they're saved to your computer it's I love when the humans pipe in to your modem. Save us I'm surprised he doesn't know this. He's a tech tech guy tech warrior?
Speaker 5I don't. I barely know how to work my iPhone. I don't either.
Speaker 6I don't even know how to TikTok apparently my girls have to show me everything.
Speaker 4I have to ask my girlfriend to show me everything. I have no idea how to work this phone, I swear.
Speaker 5Where is Jordy? Let me see if it works here In the ether she is, she's everywhere she's everywhere and nowhere all at the same time but it's not working.
Speaker 4Here there's something going on. Subaru it's not mine.
Speaker 5I thought, y'all were sharing I own nothing put the clothes on my back something going
Speaker 4on, I gotta figure it out. I gotta figure it out. I know what, I know what we can do, know what we can do. We're gonna do it right now. Right now we'll be back and we are back, uh, and I think our videos are going to work this time. So now, like I was saying before, in honor of our new president, like him, love him, hate him, despise him, I don't give a shit, but this is a funny video. The N-word there we go all right there we go there we go that's our president donald j don't know if that's real.
Speaker 4It could be ai, I don't know who knows, that's the word we live in. Yeah, but oh the dawn. So now we talked about smelling herpes at Walmart. Be careful out there. Maybe you walk in like this now. Maybe you walk in with those people.
Speaker 5Your husband's going to be like what kind of podcast were you on?
Speaker 6He's a firefighter, have you ever been to a fire station and heard?
Speaker 5all those guys I wish.
Speaker 4This is yeah, she wishes that ever been to a fire station and heard all those guys wish this is yeah, she wishes that's her dream there with me sometimes.
Speaker 6Yeah, she's like please hello, yes, please sign me up you mean a buffet of men they are a bunch of stinky animals. They're so gross and so inappropriate brothers, so okay, you would, you, you would, I'd probably fit in, fit in. Oh shit, it'd be no big deal. I'm serious, I warn people before I take them up there. I'm like guys, you know they're savages, you just never know what'll come out of their mouth. You gotta be prepared.
Speaker 4That's usually this podcast, but they're heroes.
Speaker 5They save lives. They can do that.
Speaker 6And they are an awesome group of people up there.
Speaker 4So they do you know that's?
Speaker 5awesome. I don't know if I could do that. It would be hard. Yeah, the job would be hard.
Speaker 6I couldn't do it.
Speaker 4But that kind of camaraderie, that kind of being able to pick on each other, make fun of each other, crack jokes, inappropriate jokes, whatever we need to bring that back.
Speaker 6Yeah.
Speaker 6We need to bring it back Well he has said from day one, it is how they get through. Yeah, you know, they have to have that to decompress from the crap that they see and the horrible stuff that's just constant and we probably only know like this much of it. Oh yeah, I had to tell him in our early because he got on the fire department. We'd been married about six years and you know, when he first got on, he would come home and tell me these stories and I would. They would disturb, they would, yeah, stress me out and disturb me and just make me sad or whatever they were, and I finally finally tell them okay, you can't tell me stories anymore. I internalize, I'm not, he compartmentalizes very well.
Speaker 6And he just puts them in a place and they did what they could and they move on. And that's why they do the camaraderie, because that keeps it light up there.
Speaker 4It's got to stay. Yeah, that was me and everyone, all all the guys I served with in the army. I mean, we had that kind of humor and it didn't matter what background you came from, what color you were, what you looked like. No, everyone was fair game. You know, if you do something dumb, oh we're, we're not to ever let you live it down. Oh, ever, because we're going to do something dumb and you're not going to let me live it down. Right? So now I'm going to give it back to you. I was stationed out at Fort Irwin my last few years in the service and that's in the high Mojave Desert in the service, and that's in the high Mojave desert. We'd be out in the desert doing some kind of field exercise and some dude went off to go take a pee pee over here and you got a whole desert and I'd go stand right next to him.
Speaker 4Oh yeah, no there's no, I would go to the bathroom.
Speaker 6You have a whole desert. Yeah, you're poopy, no, no yeah there's no, there's no, letting him go pee in peace oh yeah, all right.

Speaker 4Anyway, really cool hotel, old hotel, really neat. I dressed up in my El Crapitan outfit when we did that, the ghost tour. Uh-huh, I wore this hat, my old creptan hat, my sunglasses and my velour tracksuit. Gold tracksuit, there was this group of girls and they were doing this.
Speaker 5I was going to say I bet you have a lot of Snapchat.
Speaker 4And I looked over at her and I went.
Speaker 6Oh yeah yeah, you should have done the Captain.
Speaker 5I went oh yeah, yeah, you should have done the like Captain Morgan thing.
Speaker 4Yeah, yeah, but yeah, that's a fun town. But yeah, we want to make another trip to Red River in the summertime, get away from the heat. We haven't been in the summertime in a while. I want to get a Jeep and go off road and up in the mountains. I think we're going to do that. Casey has international barbershop competition coming up in October.
Speaker 5I think where's the international at America?
Speaker 4You can't wait, wait, till you hear the place where it's going to be Columbus, ohio. That's not international.
Speaker 5I don't know why there? But we're going there, you're going to go to France, or something.
Speaker 4Well, the next international? Well, see, on international. They really don't have those, at least yet in other countries like that that, because most of the courses are in the united states. They do have some from new zealand, australia, sweden, maybe uk, I can't remember but there's not a lot of them. So it makes more sense just to keep that international competition in the States.
Speaker 5Make them come here yeah.
Speaker 4But the Swedes their barbershop. Course, the women are tall. It's crazy. Yeah, they're kind of intimidating. Do they wear those clog shoes? I think they sometimes do.
Speaker 6Those little wooden shoes yeah.
Speaker 4Seems so uncomfortable. The next international that Casey's chorus after Columbus can qualify for will be in Seattle, so that'll be a fun trip.
Speaker 3The fish market, yeah, yeah, so that'll be a fun trip.
Speaker 5Another fish market.
Speaker 4Yeah yeah. She just had a regional competition in Richardson, texas, last weekend, richardson, and so they only performed for evaluation this time. But that was fun, had a good time.
Speaker 5What do they call you Like a dance mom.
Speaker 4Are you like a momager?
Speaker 5I'm like a chorus husband okay, and I do have a barbershop, your barber husband chorus husband I'm a chorus husband okay
Speaker 4uh, and I have my plethora of hoes now. How that started was Casey said hey, I need a certain type of hose for my costume. Here's the color and everything I need. Can you please go to Walmart?
Speaker 5and get it for me Dude to do that and I went right.
Speaker 4Okay, I'll go do it. And they had a wall, yeah. And I said, how do I find yours In this plethora of hoes? And so it was born yeah, that was born uh, we also, uh, our, our group are also sister wives, because we were, we were in we're at a competition in colorado, in Denver I think, and we all went out to eat and all the girls had their chorus costumes on, so they all looked had the same outfit.
Speaker 5You should have put a fake camera crew with you. They would have found your sister wives.
Speaker 4So there were like 10 of the ladies there. I'm sitting at the head of the table and these two dudes walked up to one of the girls and was like who are you guys?
Speaker 5Who are you and?
Speaker 4she was like, oh, we're sister wives. And she looked down at the table at me and goes and there's our husband Shane, and I'm just like hey guys.
Speaker 5Hi there.
Speaker 4You know, know, they were like you're never gonna believe what we saw.
Speaker 5We saw the dude had like 10 women when I went on a work trip last year I think it was last year to salt lake city, utah, and we went to dinner with a rep and it was like a big group of us so they split us into two tables For some reason one of the two dude reps, so they were each at one table. All the girls, women sat at this table and the other one was mixed and the waitress came up and she was like and I was sitting right next to my boss. She was like oh, how are you so lucky to get all these women? I didn't even think about it.
Speaker 6I just was looking at the menu and I was like I mean we are in utah.
Speaker 5My boss was like I forgot. Can I not say that? I can't say so. I was with work. Okay, I thought I was on the podcast.
Speaker 8Okay, it's fine, yeah, she was so pissed like what it's appropriate. Yeah, we are, it's utah, it's true.
Speaker 4I mean they shouldn't have done it, you know, if they didn't want people to talk we weren't at work, so I didn't get ridden up Get ridden up. Imagine getting ridden up for that I work for OU, so probably yeah. I wasn't going to state who you work for.
Speaker 5Oops, I mean OSU. Where are you going?
Speaker 6Just the lake Lake. Well, we're going to Florida at the very beginning of the summer for Lauderdale.
Speaker 5Nice.
Speaker 6Just hang out on the beach.
Speaker 5Go to the beach, but we'll be at the lake.
Speaker 6The rest of the year.
Speaker 4I've been to Orlando.
Speaker 6I have too.
Speaker 4And.
Speaker 6Destin, and that's it.
Speaker 4But I went to a nice, stayed at a nice place, but I went for an IT conference. But we stayed one extra day, I think, and me and a co-worker I had rented a Camaro and we drove to Cocoa Beach Cruising looking for ladies. And just kind of kicked it at the beach, walked around. You're not really a beach guy, you know there's a part of me I do like a nice beach, not where sharks might be, but in Hawaii. When we went to Hawaii had great time.
Speaker 5I love Hawaii.
Speaker 4When I went to Jamaica had a great time. What I don't like in Jamaica we went out on one of those hobie cats, that's what was that? It's like a little catamaran type deal kind of like a little raft with a sail kind of a thing, um, and one of the guys that worked at the sandals resorts took us out and, uh, I did not enjoy that because the waves, the waves were rolling. So they were. They weren't crazy waves, but they were big waves.
Speaker 4And then the resort when I looked at it just got smaller and smaller smaller smaller. I don't know what's in these waters.
Speaker 6I don't want to be in the open waters.
Speaker 5That's too far.
Speaker 4And I said can we turn this around and go back that way please? We get halfway back, lose wind, so we're just adrift.
Speaker 5Oh God and it's my nightmare.
Speaker 8It is, and I'm living it.
Speaker 4And I'm just like I did not drink enough for this, so, yeah, Didn't like that. Also why I can't go on a cruise I can't get myself to go on a cruise.
Speaker 5I know I'm scared of this too. I can't do it.
Speaker 4There's no way. It's a lot of water, not for me. You ever done one. I've done a few, we like them, but it's been a long time. It's been at least six or seven years since we've been. I mean, I wouldn't mind being on the big ship with all the stuff they have on it, but can we just stay docked?
Speaker 6just right there in the port, is that?
Speaker 4like it. Can I get a cheaper rate? Just go around the block, come back.
Speaker 6You don't know, just stay there no, he doesn't even want to leave.
Speaker 4But you get all the food, the entertainment yeah, they got all kinds of shit on there. You know, Dances.
Speaker 6It's fun. We've been on a few, but yeah, it doesn't bother me. I mean I wouldn't have wanted to do on that deal that would have bothered me.
Speaker 5The little boat.
Speaker 4Do you?
Speaker 5feel it rocking though.
Speaker 6We went on one that was pretty rough and you could, but most of the time you forget you're on a ship. You forget you are on a ship. I get a little seasick. Luckily enough, none of us do. Y'all are used to the lake, I guess so.
Speaker 1I've been on one of those yeah.
Speaker 6I've been on one of those.
Speaker 4Yeah, I've been on one of those. No, never again will.
Speaker 6I get on one. Yeah, they're not my favorite either.
Speaker 4Only if they stay docked, just like the cruise ships.
Speaker 6They stay docked, yeah, but on the shore.
Speaker 4You know I do. However, I do like snorkeling.
Speaker 5Are you not a good swimmer? I do like snorkeling. Are you not a good swimmer?
Speaker 4I'm a super good swimmer, but I love snorkeling Not out way out from the beach, just keep me kind of close. I do like it Did that in Hawaii and swam around sea turtles. That was cool. Yeah, I do like that. But you know know, I don't even like being out in the water on a lake oh, I love it.
Speaker 5That's my happy place let's go, I think, let me out there. We didn't grow up like that, we're not used to it.
Speaker 4Well, I mean, dad tried we'd have like a what? Like a 10 foot john boat. You know that with a little outboard motor that he would peg and turn. We're not really like people and it was like you could almost tip the entire boat over. It's like, dad, this is not boating. No, can we please just go back? I don't want to be on this thing with you driving.
Speaker 5It's fine.
Speaker 3Yeah, oh goodness El Reno.
Speaker 4Lake. Poop Lake is what we called it. Poop Lake yeah, not a lake guy. Well, I like going to the lake. I don't know if I want to be out in the middle of it.
Speaker 6In the summer, when it's the middle of the summer. That's the only place that's actually cool yeah.
Speaker 3Is the middle of the lake.
Speaker 4I did like kayaking down at Lake Murray, I did like that Lake Murray's beautiful. I did like that. That was pretty fun. We haven't done that in a while. Maybe we will, I don't know. We'll see. We want to get hard shell kayaks Right now. We just got the inflatable kind, and mine's not actually a kayak when we bought them. We bought them with our COVID stimulus checks. We're like, hey, let's get some kayaks. We're like, okay, so I'm looking at kayaks, weird and well to get out of the house, you know everything was closed.
Speaker 6Yeah, everything was closed, yeah.
Speaker 4We started getting. You could only do so much in the house until it's like we got to get out of here and kayaking was great. But when I was looking up kayaks, we couldn't really transport the hard shell kayaks.
Speaker 5We had to get inflatable. You don't have a truck.
Speaker 4They do have weight limits. Oh and I'm all about safety and I couldn't need I couldn't get a one person kayak at the time I had to get a two person, two person kayak. So I get a two-person kayak. So I'm a two-person kayak guy. That's how I describe my weight. Now I'm a two-person kayak. Mine is actually like a canoe and it's big and yellow. It looks like a giant banana. So I'm just out paddling with a giant banana. We had a good time.
Speaker 5Take it out to Driper.
