Duffy's Interview Pt 2

Transcript

SPEAKER_02 0:00

Welcome to Podcast with Duffy, presented by Duffy's Moon Pictures LLP. And I am your host, Duffy. We will dive into real stories, real voices, and real conversations that matter. Sit back, relax, and let's begin.

SPEAKER_01 0:16

Hi everyone, and welcome back to Duffy's podcast. But today again it's gonna be Anne's podcast because we're switching things around just a little bit more. And I'm gonna be interviewing Duffy. We're gonna dive a little bit more into her advocacy and purpose, um, her personal growth and some of her relationships and the support that she receives from various people and areas in her life. So with that, um, I'd like to welcome Duffy to the podcast, your own podcast, but now it's my podcast.

SPEAKER_02 0:54

Yes, thank you. And it's built a podcast.

SPEAKER_01 0:56

I'm not confused. Not at all. So how are you? I'm good. How are you? I'm doing great, doing great. So um, I'm kind of excited to get into some of these topics today. Um, I think we're gonna dig a little deeper than we did last time. So let's start with your advocacy and your purpose. Uh, why is I mean, I know bullying is a big deal for you, um, but can you explain a little bit of why bullying is so important to you? What drives you to make this your advocacy?

SPEAKER_02 1:36

Bullying, because of what I've been through, the name calling, being told I can never do anything, uh, being told I can't think, being told I don't know how to do anything, being called the names. Uh what was the other thing? The comments on social media, like being called a scam, one word technically not a scam.

SPEAKER_01 1:58

Yeah, I mean, we say sticks and stones, but the bottom line is words really do hurt. They really do. I mean, emotional pain is real pain.

SPEAKER_02 2:06

And and all just all the other name calling that has gone from the past to president, present. So I really like dive into what I can of the advocacy. If I see it happening to somebody, I will jump in. Okay. I have defended myself, but it doesn't always work that way.

SPEAKER_01 2:28

I mean, you have to stick up for yourself, I think at some point. You have to know also what not to respond to, in my very true.

SPEAKER_02 2:36

And I'm a very defensive person, right?

SPEAKER_01 2:38

But when somebody calls you a scam, you're not a scam, you're a startup. There's a difference. And you're not going to be at the same level of a locked and loaded productions at this point because you're just starting. That doesn't make you a scam. It means you're still figuring it out. So all of you haters out there, back off. That comes from me. I know I'm really big and tough. I get it. But um, so how do you how do you hope when you've experienced all of this? I get it. You're still getting it every day. And I think when we put ourselves out there as public people, we open ourselves up to that. And so there's a little bit of a thick skin that has to develop. But um, so we develop that uh as we go. But as you do that, how do you hope that what you do kind of helps others?

SPEAKER_02 3:29

I am hoping what I've been through from, you know, back then to now, if somebody has a problem, they can come ask me, and I can either give them the resources of all the you know, hotline bullion numbers and all that, or I can sit and be an ear for somebody and give them the best I can. Uh, I would like at some point in time with the company, because we all have a lot of things thrown on the plates right now with this, is for us to either do advocacy videos or do like a one live a month advocacy thing on social media or an open call on Zoom. That way, if people have questions about something, one of us on the team, could you know what I'm answering it, or we can get them the resources that they need.

SPEAKER_01 4:28

I think that's important because the more we can expose this bullying. I mean, really, we're all on this planet together. We live together. Why do we do this? I mean, some people just this is how they thrive. They thrive in this type of negative chaos. Well, that's not where I thrive. I just don't. I walk away from those people. They can live in their misery. I don't care. I'm not, I'm not participating in that. But there are people who don't have the skills to lift themselves up and move on from it. And really, it's about just kindness and love at this point. And I think you're right. I think if we were to build a community um with phone calls and online formats, um, we could we could just grow stronger because I I truly believe and I will I was bullied as a child. I've had death threats against me. I mean, I've been there. And I still truly believe that love can rise above it, kindness can rise above it. And as you get more love, it just sort of smothers all that hate and quiets it. So I think that's an excellent idea. I hope, I hope that's something that can come to fruition for you.

SPEAKER_02 5:35

Yes, and I think it's something we would have to build in the business plan.

SPEAKER_01 5:40

Yeah, absolutely.

SPEAKER_02 5:41

Try to see where can we fit that in with two shorts trying to get done, two zombie things trying to get done, and a Christmas film?

SPEAKER_01 5:52

It will all get done at some point in time line, but it will all get done. That I believe. Yeah, that I believe. So, what message with all these films that you have planned? What's the message you want people to take away from all these films? Is there a common theme?

SPEAKER_02 6:10

Uh, I can't say if there's going to be a common theme because we do truth, we do zombie, we do horror, we do Christmas. I like people to feel the old way of how people felt back in the 80s, 90s, millennium, 70s, 60s, 50s. Because for me watching, you know, people, watching, you know, how people act on social media and and about everybody kind of lost their way on what it was. I can I can I will say this, and this irritates me. I'm at fault as this as well, and we are these are a problem. Every time you go to a restaurant, this is what you see. It needs to it needs to end. What happened to sitting in a restaurant and talking to people?

SPEAKER_01 6:59

And talking to people, yep.

SPEAKER_02 7:00

What happened to sitting at a kitchen table and not go doing this and talking to people?

SPEAKER_01 7:04

Yeah, we have a strict no phone at the meal time policy in this house. We just do. Good. Yeah, and and and you're right, we notice that when we go out to eat, we'll actually go, okay, how many tables are everybody's on their phone rather than conversing like human beings and communicating, right? Building relationships.

SPEAKER_02 7:22

I do know we are gonna have a rule on set. All phones must be put in a tote. No phones allowed.

SPEAKER_01 7:30

I think that's an okay policy. I really do. I've done that on a couple other sets I've been on, and um it kind of frees you up to be a real person. You're not tied to this thing.

SPEAKER_02 7:41

Because the phones and technology are pulling people away from what they know. I've seen all I see all the time on people cut people comment on Facebook. This is not the world what we were used to. We growed up on what happened to going outside playing instead of kids on their damn phones and computer games all day long.

SPEAKER_01 8:01

I think I mean, have you do you think we've just forgotten how to be human?

SPEAKER_02 8:06

I think so. I really do think we forgot to be human, and I think that's why a lot of people comment what they comment either on my stuff or everyone else's post because of the way things have gone.

SPEAKER_01 8:22

Yeah, it's just really easy to be nasty when you don't have that person standing in front of you, right? Yes, yeah, and that's unfortunate because it hurts just as much and it cuts just as much.

SPEAKER_00 8:33

It does.

SPEAKER_01 8:34

So, you know, I think um, you know, we my next question would be how do you use your platform to spread this awareness? And you've already mentioned that. Um, you know, doing some waves and some call-ins and using your films.

SPEAKER_02 8:49

Well, I usually do too, like, and I'm gonna have to start pushing this more. The movie trailer I did for the Unbreakable, the Duffy Story, which is my voiceover, which comes from photos either from the company, uh photos from myself, and some stock footage, which is official movie trailer. I'm gonna have to start pushing that, and I probably should just share it at least on every pay all the group pages at least once a month, because that is still advocacying for against bullying to stop, also not just it's also advocacying for what we have going on with the company as well.

SPEAKER_01 9:27

Yeah, exactly. I think if this is part of your your core, your core, I'm trying to say core here, your core um, you know, value of the company, I think it should all always be pushed out there. Always like this is what we stand for. And I think that'll come through in your films.

SPEAKER_02 9:46

There's another thing I've been trying to get going, a couple things with the company is on micro dramas. I mean, some of them at some point we may just improv. Some I I actually came up, it was up to two o'clock last night working, like asking my Biden software. Uh, I have this idea. How should I take this for one person uh thing for social media, just to try to get some stuff out there to help with the funding. We have them we want to do. I also would like to uh have everybody who's still, you know, a part of our company, at least one person, each person once a month, talk about mental health awareness, because we are advertisers that too. I haven't been able to because I'm trying to, you know, get so much done, I'm falling behind on things like our video newsletters. We first started that as just a type newsletter and email. And then Christmas Lynn, who now was our president, has now moved up to co-CEO, Lynn Wonkant. I said, Can you do December's newsletter? So like, sure. So she did it in a video, a video newsletter, and that went out so much better. Oh, okay. But we have been so busy we didn't get Januaries done, we didn't get Februaries done, we haven't done merches. So I'm we do apologize, any gaps with anything, but we're very limited people here, only have so much time of the day to do things.

SPEAKER_01 11:14

You can only do what you can do with the time and the knowledge that you have. Yes, very true.

SPEAKER_02 11:20

That's all a lot of times when they get very limited, too.

SPEAKER_01 11:23

Yeah, I mean, any expectation beyond that is just an unreasonable expectation, in my opinion.

SPEAKER_02 11:29

True.

SPEAKER_01 11:30

So, you know, a lot of this is your your past really lends itself to how you run your company and the projects you put out there. So that's in my opinion, and correct me if I'm wrong, um, but that's kind of like how you use your voice, right? Is there another way that you would like to use your voice to get your messaging out?

SPEAKER_02 11:52

I would like the company at some point to go talk to schools. I think if a few of us would team up from the company, have the schools book us. I mean, we can do it as volunteers, or we can just do it for a short amount of fee, that we can probably speak to these elementary kids, middle school, high school kids on Boolean and also talk about, you know, because I do I do understand that I've seen this so many times. There are so many kids, teens and adults who want to get into acting and they get told no, no, no, and that would be something too to tie into the public speaking in schools, in public uh communities, it would help.

SPEAKER_01 12:35

Right, but there's a difference between being told no and being bullied out of it. There's a big difference, huge difference. I mean, when I was a child, I was in acting, and then when it started to kind of blossom into you know movie or videos, I mean, I was around when MTV started. And um, you know, people wanted me in their videos, and I was a teenager at that time, and my dad said absolutely not, and that's where it all stopped, right there. And um he was protecting me. I don't fault him for that. I mean, now that I'm in this and I'm modeling again, I know it, I see it. But but to be bullied out of it, um, I mean, I also experienced that as a child actor, that um, you know, you get told you're too fat. And I was a chubby kid, you know, you're you're too fat, your cheeks are too fat, and when are you gonna lose that baby fat? And you know, and that's bullying. That's all I mean. Maybe they were just saying this is how you have to look if you want this part, but that's not the way they were presenting it. And so, you know, again, sticks and stones hurt.

SPEAKER_02 13:44

And it's just not that. I for years, I I mean, even before I got really deep into this, I didn't know what follow things and it'd be like they're being told, oh, from because a lot of us don't uh meet Hollywood standards, and they're being told they can't do this, can't do this. So we are working on changing the way things are done. We're tired, I'm tired of people being shut out saying they can't do anything. And I've known people heard that from big name directors, producers.

SPEAKER_01 14:16

You know, and I find that here in Southwest Florida, I mean, we're not LA, we're not New York, we're not Atlanta. I get that. We are a commercial hub. A lot of commercials are made down here in Florida, but you still have to fit a type. And if you don't fit a type, like I'm an awkward fit, nobody knows what to do with me. I'm not in my 40s, I'm in my late 50s. Um, so I get called in for these auditions, but I don't look like I'm in my late 50s. But um then I show up on set and you can see the whole package, like, okay, she really is in her late 50s. We don't know what to do with this person right here. How do you cast somebody like that? Um, and and it can be really frustrating to find the right fit. I think there's a fit for anyone who wants to act. Yes. Um you just have to you have to just keep turning over rocks and keep looking and keep trying.

SPEAKER_02 15:08

And I and I think that's where the problem comes with me. I've been in this since 2023. Didn't book anything, any background yet about my own stuff or anything major. Because you I'm at that age. I mean, I do have some limitations, and there's just ain't an opening yet for me to be that big superstar diva.

SPEAKER_01 15:29

Yeah, and and I think a lot of this is um, you know, at least for me, the acting is all about personal growth. Every time I get a new script or a new role that I never would have dreamed that I would even audition for, not even in my top 10, but I take it on as a challenge. There's a part of me that grows a little bit, and I think, oh, I didn't know I could do that, you know. Um, you know, right now, um, the big part is I have to learn how to curse. Yes, uh and a grandma. I'm not supposed to be cursing, but uh but Fiona. I know. Hey, Fiona was a challenge for me. It really now, but you were good at it. Thanks. It was, and then I had to go, I hope this is all right. Because, you know, all of you in heaven, I hope this is okay. Please don't be mad at me. But um, you know, it's a challenge, it's absolutely a challenge. Um, and it's when you bring out these deep emotions that you have to express. And when you can do that, you there's there's a lot of skill growth, but there's personal growth too behind it. So I to me that's what acting is, it's not always about being the superstar. I think you master these skills and that leads to the bigger roles, and it's great, but it's just about getting an opportunity to act at any point.

SPEAKER_02 16:54

It is, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:56

So how have I talked about me and this is about you, so I we're gonna talk about me. Oh my god. Um how have you changed over the years?

SPEAKER_02 17:07

I've changed a lot. I left Pennsylvania, which was well long overdue, and came to North Carolina. Uh I I mean, I still struggle. Like my one-minute manologue I wrote is still standing, like the back of my hand. Uh, that I mean, and I the company is growing slowly. We are now season two of podcasts with Duffy. We're I mean, we do apologize for not having posted for two weeks, but we both we're busy. Um, and I think with us posting more, like weekly, or every other week, it's helping the company grow. It's helping both of us grow. Um being a talent scout, you know, it's another growth. Continuing the class is another growth, and continuing something that's gonna soon be revealed in social media, which is a huge surprise, it's gonna be to a lot of people. It's another growth.

SPEAKER_01 18:04

Okay, so there's our teaser, right? Yeah, stay tuned and and subscribe to all the social media. Duffy's podcast, Duffy's uh production, right? Is it Moon Duffy's Moon Pictures? Thank you, forgive me. Moon Pictures, yes. So subscribe. Just go to all she's on everything, she's on everything, and including things I'd never even heard of.

SPEAKER_02 18:27

MySpace, um, Tumblr, blogger, which I'm behind on M3. Apologize. Uh X, which we don't even use anymore, because that just but we post mostly on Facebook a lot, Instagram, and TikTok. I'm behind on TikTok because I'm the one uploading everything myself.

SPEAKER_01 18:48

Sure. Yeah, it's only so many hours in the day, right?

SPEAKER_02 18:51

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 18:52

So um if there's something that you've learned about yourself through the years to this point that you'd like to share, maybe as some advice or encouragement, what would that be?

SPEAKER_02 19:04

I would say go with your gut instincts. There were some things I'm and I'm we don't say names because that's not how we are. We uh some things I have dealt with through the years. And I I'm like, maybe I should have never, you know, been around that person. Maybe I should have just moved from that state 20 years ago.

SPEAKER_01 19:27

This is how we learn. We make it. Yes, we learn and grow. But if we don't learn, we repeat the mistakes. And that's where your gut comes in, right?

SPEAKER_02 19:36

Yes, it does.

SPEAKER_01 19:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 19:37

So I always say follow your gut and your heart.

SPEAKER_01 19:41

If you want to do something, go do it.

SPEAKER_02 19:44

It may be a struggle for a while.

SPEAKER_01 19:50

So even when we all go through these tough times. Um, sometimes we have nothing for months, sometimes we're booking every month. And um it it can be a little bit lonely. Acting is very lonely. It's a one-man show. I mean, you're doing this alone. You're doing it with a team, but you're doing it alone. Let's just be honest. And so when you're not getting booked, you think, Am I even worth anything? Um, and it can really degrade your mental and your emotional health. So, my question to you is when you're going through these tougher times, how do you maintain your your emotional health?

SPEAKER_02 20:22

Very difficult, very difficult. I mean, because you met Jackson, Tracy, uh made to give up, Tracy, I'm ready to give up. I'm sick of this, I'm sick of this. So I m you know, message other people I know and and stuff. It it it it is tough because of the financial situation and you know, along with that you struggle, you know, to keep bills paid, you struggle to keep rent paid, you struggle to improve the situation. Yeah. It's just I get my days where I just don't want to even get out of the bed. Like this last weekend.

SPEAKER_01 21:00

So what what keeps you grounded to get out of bed?

SPEAKER_02 21:04

No in this stuff's scheduled, knowing Monday's class, Wednesday's class, Thursday's class, Friday still can't be working.

SPEAKER_01 21:12

So you're engaged.

SPEAKER_02 21:13

Yes, I'm very well engaged.

SPEAKER_01 21:15

Yeah, as you're a team, yeah. And so I guess maybe we hold you accountable indirectly.

SPEAKER_02 21:21

Yes. And like my Aunt Sue said when she uh called me on the phone the other day and stuff, we would she was talking to me about my book and you know, how she was actually part of my book and stuff, and I was very profound in it. And she, you know, is a private investigator and stuff, and I had asked her if she still did security work because at some point we are gonna need that. And uh, she doesn't right now. But uh she said it's you know, she's like don't you know as a business owner because she's also a business owner too, you have them good good months and then you then you're racking up that and joining your savings account.

SPEAKER_01 22:00

Yeah, that's exactly the way it is. I mean, being an actor is like owning your own business. You're a one-man business, but it's yours. The income, the revenue, the expenses, it's all on you.

SPEAKER_02 22:13

Yeah, and it's it struggles. Uh I had to drop some apps because we may only use them once, twice a year. And I struggle to pay the other ones.

SPEAKER_01 22:27

And I understand that. So what do you m what are you most proud of about yourself as you go through all this?

SPEAKER_02 22:33

I'm gonna say us doing having two seasons of podcasts with Duffy. I was skeptical when I did the first season, and when it was really short, I was just, you know, getting started with it and stuff. And I'm like, are we gonna get the views? Are they gonna like us? Are they gonna listen to us? Are they gonna hate us? And as as I saw, like with Buzz Sprout, it gives you your statistics. And before I even decided a season two, I'm looking at the statistics, and I'm just I'm sitting there like this and biting my nails and looking at the statistics. Because we're we're on all multiple platforms. I'm like, okay, we have listeners on Amazon music. We really have listeners on Spotify. That's our strongest. We have listeners on iHeartRadio, we have listeners on Apple music. And I'm looking and then I'm looking at uh was that public. And I'm looking at uh, you know, where people what countries, you know. Hang on one second. Okay. Um stuff like where is everybody you know watching from? First we only started in the United States. Then then when we got into the second half of the podcast with Duffy of season one, when I broke him up just you know, because it was just me and you know that break, which I usually do, like we usually take a break in the summertime. Because I kind of run uh like a school. And I'm looking, I'm like, they do like they do like this. I mean, yeah, we had you know a very slow start, and like as the second half starts going, I'm like, we're starting to get we're all working being seen in Germany already. We're being seen in Europe. I'm like, yep, season two is coming. So I mean the support with that is is great. I mean, yes, it does take a couple years to even make any profit from anything, it is what it is, and same with the acting. When I started that, when I first announced that, I was really nervous because I'm like, yeah, the haters are gonna come, they're gonna say this, they're gonna say this, they're gonna say this, they're gonna say this, they're gonna say this, they're gonna say this. The very first video I posted, and my skills have improved. I had people say, keep going, keep going, you got this, keep going, you got this. So we have gotten way more views even on that stuff when I started in 2023.

SPEAKER_01 25:25

So it kind of drowns out the haters. I think there are more good people than bad people in this world. I truly believe that. And it doesn't take much kindness to drown out the negativity at all.

SPEAKER_02 25:37

And I can't wait to have them haters see a live movie trailer and wait till they see these incredible movie posters that we have coming.

SPEAKER_01 25:48

It might change their mind, but um, I wouldn't even worry about them. I'll be honest with you. I don't worry about them. I mean, I grew up in a family of haters, and it took me a long time to understand that you have to just walk away and go, whatever. Y'all can think what you want to think. You know, it's the way it is. So who supported you the most in your career?

SPEAKER_02 26:09

Who supported me in my career? I probably can have about 15 people right now. My cousin, Rich, who's a very big supporter of this, my very good friend, Chrissy Onch. Chrissy and I got to meet, you know, we got to be close, being on my cousin's property in PA for uh quite a few years. Um she uh was a really big supporter with this. She took me to my first photo shoot that my cousin Taylor Dore did just to get some photos so we have him out there. Chrissy even took a half a day off of work to take me to Baltimore in Baltimore airport to fly to Atlanta for some things we had to meet and meet up things we had to do there. Uh Chrissy has also messaged me and said, I don't know how how well I am doing, you know, through the years. Another big supporter would be my second teacher, Lorney Chathamer. She really pushed me hard to do this because she knew I can do this. She's like, forget about everything they said to you in school, forget about all them tests and everything. None of that is accurate. You're picking my stuff up great. There's no issue. Uh she, you know, was a really big supporter of the class, which would have been Charlie, who's over in Neverlands, is a huge supporter of what I do. Colleen, who who helped me, you know, start the company in the beginning, is a huge supporter of what I do. Who else from class? Uh Lisa was a huge supporter of what I and what I've done. I mean, some of the people I don't talk to anymore, because you know, they got busy with their own lives. Also, Brian Batada, who does hashtag agent goals and hashtags uh make agents want me. He was my second teacher, or third teacher, uh and stuff. And he, you know, saw he's like, your character type is Ann Hathaway, um, Melissa McCarthy. So that's what we kind of market that as for that side.

SPEAKER_01 28:20

He has Yeah, I can see I could see Melissa McCarthy for sure.

SPEAKER_02 28:24

I mean, he has a very good community page group. And if any of you are watching, I feel bad. I haven't been on there, even everybody know what's going on. I'm just swamped with everything. He has been a big supporter. His uh help Emma has been a big supporter. Actually, Brian is gonna be scheduled for the podcast at some point here. Probably I'm gonna probably do them in April.

SPEAKER_01 28:47

Yeah, I think Brian would love to do that for you.

SPEAKER_02 28:49

Yes, and Lauren as well, too. Uh, um, Tracy is a major huge supporter. You, Ann, is a major huge supporter. Uh-huh. My daughter enjoys what I'm doing because she used to say she would say to me, I'm gonna be a superstar like Mama Didi. I'm like, when you behave in Starless. My Aunt Sue is a major supporter. My distant cousin, Marilyn, and our friend Carl is a major supporter. I have a few people I still talk to from when we first did Camp Sun and Moon. Like with that, we had some you know issues, so we couldn't release that. Andrea is a huge supporter. She would come down here and jump on set if we needed her to. Lynn, no, Lynn Wanka, who is our co-CEO, she's a huge supporter. She's been with me on day one from this.

SPEAKER_01 29:38

So it sounds like you have a pretty strong support system.

SPEAKER_02 29:42

And people I know on Facebook.

SPEAKER_01 29:44

So, how important is it to you to maintain this strong support system and maybe even strengthen it?

SPEAKER_02 29:50

Uh I it's a hundred percent.

SPEAKER_01 29:54

In what way?

SPEAKER_02 29:55

Uh keeping it going and keeping just keep developing and keep developing, you know, and keep progressing.

SPEAKER_01 30:02

So, how do you choose who you trust in these groups?

SPEAKER_02 30:07

That can be a tricky thing. I mean, I I I'm a person who will give everybody a chance. But when you draw that line, you can't.

SPEAKER_01 30:19

What does loyalty mean to you?

SPEAKER_02 30:21

Showing up, communication, teamwork, and not causing a problem that does not need to be caused.

SPEAKER_01 30:32

So with all these people who love you and support you, how do you show your gratitude to them?

SPEAKER_02 30:38

I just keep on posting videos.

SPEAKER_01 30:41

You just keep going.

SPEAKER_02 30:44

Yep, I keep going. I mean, there's some people I didn't mention, and I'm sorry I didn't get to mention. Mention everybody on my list?

SPEAKER_01 30:50

Yeah. I know. I mean, when you start speaking from your mind like that, it's really hard to remember everyone, but it doesn't make them any less significant, does it?

SPEAKER_02 31:00

It doesn't. No, it doesn't.

SPEAKER_01 31:01

Not at all. Not at all. So you're like the little energizer bunny. You just keep going.

SPEAKER_02 31:06

I work in my sleep. Yes, yes, you do. And I will say this because anything I say on here with any ideas or copyrighted. And I I've been waking up, I swear I know I work in my sleep. This is poop. So I got I woke up the other day from this bizarre, I'm gonna just say a bizarre premonition for a scene. And I'm thinking to myself, like, what the heck? And then I said something to Tracy in class here, and they were like, Oh, go with this. I woke up about writing a script of a tornado zombie apocalypse. And I I'm just saying, I'm thinking to myself, I'm like, what in the heck is going on? So Thursday on her improv class, you couldn't you couldn't make it. It was either Wednesday or Thursday. And it might have been Wednesday. I'm like, Tracy, I don't mean to interrupt, but we have two, you know, young people on here, some adults. I've been waking up, you know, with these scenes and I've been writing them down. Um I said to the to the kids, because I I mean some of them are at the age where they can watch this. I'm like, what do you think of uh as a tornado zombie apocalypse? They're like, go with it, go with it.

SPEAKER_01 32:16

Go with it. You know, we just my husband and I sat down a few days ago and we watched the movie Sinners, and there were parts of it. Um, if you haven't seen it, you should see it. But there were parts of it that I I I just kept thinking of you. Like the stuff Duffy could do, you know?

SPEAKER_02 32:34

And then like a week ago before that, I got woken up and I said this in class that night, and I will repeat this. Uh everything I we say on here that everything is copyrighted. Uh, so you can't take our take anything we talk about. I had woke up the other night and I was like, what in the world just happened? This is real. I woke up, another scene zombie thing. I'm like, what in the hell? So I was woke up uh being in water. Okay. And I I'm not a very good swimmer. And it it was just bizarre how how this vision came to me. And I I know this these will be award-winning. We were all trying to escape the United States. The whole United States was flooded. And we heard that Mexico and South America and New Zealand were safe areas. So as we're all, you know, you know, going, you know, going across the border, like we don't want we don't need birth certificates, da da da, we just want you safe. Well, then we, you know, we got an i it was like a tall blonde, I don't know who if it was you or whoever the heck it was. So then we come swim back across the border and you know, get through if they call our names, you know, to come through. And we hop in the hop in an RV that someone has waiting there for us because we're coming back to save people. I'm gonna say it had had to be you because it just uh and and we're going and we're going. I'm like, okay, we're stopping here. And and you know, everybody else was concerned about the herd. I'm like, no, we're stopping here. I'm like, we're not leaving it to my damn movies, and everything else is on this damn RB. And you all like, let's go. I'm like, yo, load this shit up now. First of all, I'm feeling a bit honored that I'm entering your dreams, so so I I know we can work with them, you know, put them in the TV show and also put them into the second camps, second part of Camp Sun and Moon. But it's just weird how I wake up with stuff like that. I literally work in my sleep.

SPEAKER_01 34:42

Yes, I know you do. But you know, Steven Spielberg works that way too.

unknown 34:46

Right?

SPEAKER_01 34:47

All of his movies came. He would wake up in the middle of the night. He always had a notebook by his bed and he would write it out.

SPEAKER_02 34:54

I I actually remember him and I get up and write it down.

SPEAKER_01 34:57

You have to, because if you don't, you'll lose it. So you have to write it down as soon as you get up.

SPEAKER_02 35:01

And that's that's why I said you cannot take anything what we talk about because everything is copyrighted.

SPEAKER_01 35:07

Mm-hmm. Well, that's a good thing. That's a good thing. Yeah, yeah. A lot of a lot of copyright stuff just yeah. It's it's a fine line. I don't I used to work a little bit in copyright law and I really don't miss it.

SPEAKER_02 35:21

So yeah, and not just poops, I do work in my sleep.

SPEAKER_01 35:26
