Exploring Character Creation with Rorie Still

The central theme of this podcast episode revolves around the creation of a safe haven for Blerds and Nerds amidst a tumultuous political climate. In light of the recent firing of writer Gretchen Felker-Martin due to her remarks on Charlie Kirk, we delve into the implications of such actions within the creative community. Further, we discuss the cinematic merits of "The Conjuring: Last Rites," reflecting on its effectiveness as a horror film. Additionally, we address the significant news regarding Diamond Comic Distributors Inc., which has recently filed for Chapter 11 and is undergoing substantial restructuring, including layoffs and the sale of its comic distribution business. The discussions are enriched by our shared commitment to authenticity and representation in storytelling, as we explore the creative journeys of individuals like Rorie Still, who emphasize character recognition in their work. Through this dialogue, we aim to foster an environment that encourages open expression while navigating the complexities of the current landscape.

She's 16, but I still call her the little one.

Speaker C:

I. I took her to see the Conjuring because she's a big horror fan.

Speaker C:

And me, I normally don't do horror films in theaters because I've been disappointed in the past.

Speaker C:

Okay, so it only takes three times.

Speaker C:

You disappoint me with a horror film three times, and I'm just like, you know what?

I can save this for cable or something.

But we went to go see Conjuring, the last rights, and, my God.

Speaker B:

You and Jay sound alike.

Speaker B:

I. I was kind of disappointed, actually.

Speaker B:

I thought it was better than the third one.

Speaker C:

Oh, no, no, I didn't.

Speaker C:

I just said I need that type of energy.

Speaker B:

I know.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker E:

Can we talk about Reverend Dr. Wesley and his sermon that has gone viral?

Speaker C:

Perfect example.

Speaker E:

Oh, that man.

Speaker E:

Oh, man.

Speaker E:

He cooked.

Speaker E:

He cooked during that sermon.

Speaker E:

Speaker C:

Navy.

Speaker C:

In.

Speaker C:

In culture.

Speaker C:

In culture.

Speaker D:

Please, please.

Speaker E:

So you know how everybody has been this whole thing with Charlie Kirk has been polarizing this, though he incorporated in his sermon, saying, the way you lived does not necessarily mean you're going to die hero.

Speaker E:

You're going to die a martyr.

Speaker E:

And he said the fact that they are praising him because he's gone, but you're not going to even talk about the others who have died along the way, including the Minnesota leader of Democratic leader.

Speaker E:

Her and her husband were killed.

Speaker E:

Nothing was said.

Speaker E:

But when this sycophant ends up getting killed, all of a sudden he becomes a martyr and a national hero.

Speaker E:

He says, no, no, y' all need to find that servant.

Speaker E:

Let me tell you that, man, I watched it three times.

Speaker E:

He cooked.

Speaker C:

He spoke on it, Spoke on it.

Speaker C:

And he's right.

Speaker C:

He's like, how.

Speaker C:

How you act in life will reflect how you are when you go away.

Speaker B:

Oh, that quote has been making its round.

Speaker C:

Nah.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker E:

He said, well, hearing people with selective.

Speaker E:

Yeah, hearing people were selective with selective rage who are mad about Charlie Kirk but didn't give a damn about Melissa Hortman and her husband when they were shot down in their home.

Speaker E:

Tell me I ought to have compassion for the death of a man who had no respect for my own life.

Speaker D:

For anyone's life, Literally anyone's across the board, including the people that are.

Speaker D:

Okay, wait, we gotta get off this train.

Speaker D:

We got to get off this train.

Speaker C:

We will.

Speaker C:

Don't worry.

Speaker D:

I'm about.

Speaker C:

But I think it.

Speaker C:

It needs.

Speaker C:

It just needs to be.

Speaker E:

It needs to be spoken on.

Speaker E:

It genuinely to be spoken on.

Speaker B:

It does.

Speaker C:

As much as we hate.

Speaker C:

It's unavoidable to a degree, but it needs to be.

Speaker C:

Thing this is is I neither celebrate nor more.

Speaker C:

It's not black and white.

Speaker C:

It is very, very nuanced.

Speaker C:

And that's what people are feeling.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

So research.

Speaker C:

It is nuanced.

Speaker C:

But if you think about it, hell, even the pieces of the information that has been coming out, I'm like, y' all don't even know what y' all talking about half of this.

Speaker B:

But they never do.

Speaker B:

Yeah, that's nothing.

Speaker B:

That's nothing new.

Speaker C:

It's always doom and gloom.

Speaker C:

Really.

Speaker C:

Rory.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker C:

Let's talk.

Speaker E:

Welcome.

Speaker C:

What's been going on in the wonderful world of Teddy Ninja in this Dracula project.

Speaker C:

I'm.

Speaker C:

I'm actually interested in.

Speaker C:

In that you have a Dracula project.

Speaker C:

I mean, since we're talking sinners and vampires.

Speaker C:

I mean, why not?

Speaker C:

We're in the spooky season.

Speaker C:

Seems fitting.

Speaker B:

Very fitting.

Speaker B:

Boo.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

Well, for the vampire one, I'm currently working on the novel.

Speaker B:

It's, it's.

Speaker B:

It's having progress.

Speaker B:

We're moving forward.

Speaker B:

I actually have outlined this all the way to the end.

Speaker B:

I have notes, notes.

Speaker B:

And I'm bit by bit reading it over and just writing the chapters and then what's attached to that project.

Speaker B:

Or I should say parallel.

Speaker B:

Let me move my fingers over parallel.

Speaker B:

And perpendicular geometry works, people.

Speaker B:

That we're doing a long term photo shoot that shows the different, different social groups in that universe.

Speaker B:

So it's the flashbang universe.

Speaker B:

And now, you know, we did with Teddy Ninja, we did with people getting expanded into like human glue balls.

Speaker B:

We did people suddenly growing wings and being locked up in a camp.

Speaker B:

We did all that.

Speaker B:

And now we're expanding out to the other folks that have always existed in this universe as well with Dracula and his.

Speaker B:

This adult descendant 26.

Speaker B:

Her name is Eve.

Speaker B:

And she has to take over in a political world that is the midst of a political explosion.

Speaker B:

And also.

Speaker E:

What?

Speaker E:

Does that sound familiar?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker D:

Really?

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Let me move over.

Speaker E:

Thunk it.

Speaker B:

Wow.

Speaker B:

And also she has to take this seat of power in a world that doesn't want her because she's human or coming from human stock.

Speaker C:

The allegories.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Oh, yes, yes.

Speaker B:

And then also just trying to figure out how to do that while a serial killer is running around where she.

Speaker B:

She the victim profile and is killing vampires and training or wokes because they're awakening to the vampiric nature like her.

Speaker C:

Well, damn.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

It's very, very, very black, very bipoc.

Speaker B:

Very queer.

Speaker B:

Very poly.

Speaker B:

Very.

Speaker B:

Keep throwing in.

Speaker C:

Very inclusive.

Speaker C:

Very, very worldly.

Speaker C:

We use big words over here.

Speaker C:

We just don't talk trash.

Speaker B:

Oh, my God.

Speaker B:

So that is.

Speaker B:

That is a novel in which I'm currently working on one.

Speaker B:

The one I discussed before when I was on the wonderful show.

Speaker B:

Yes, Z Blood.

Speaker B:

I. I know a few French words.

Speaker B:

I'm gonna learn more.

Speaker B:

I'm gonna learn more.

Speaker B:

But I try to get the accent.

Speaker B:

I don't know whose accent.

Speaker B:

You know, I want to see Louie.

Speaker B:

I'm gonna watch the Stop.

Speaker B:

But I'm waiting for Louie to come back on that show.

Speaker B:

But Tenders, by the way, masterpiece.

Speaker B:

Classic.

Speaker B:

Definitely encouraging in what I'm doing with and how I'm writing the book.

Speaker B:

Because it's going to be what's called fusion fiction, where the first parts of screenplay.

Speaker B:

Some of the chapters are going to be songs, some are actually going to be forms.

Speaker B:

Like, I think I mentioned this before, if you are a were animal and your group is small enough, you don't get counted with anybody.

Speaker B:

You're in the menagerie.

Speaker B:

And that's the political group with the lowest power.

Speaker B:

So this griffin comes up and he says, I'm not even in.

Speaker B:

You're reading this as a transcript because.

Speaker B:

So this is going to end up being one of the chapters that is in the process of being next.

Speaker B:

So he's like, I don't even.

Speaker B:

I'm not a werewolf.

Speaker B:

I don't have a human form.

Speaker B:

I only get to go out at night.

Speaker B:

Why am I with these people?

Speaker B:

These people.

Speaker B:

You know what I mean?

Speaker B:

Anyway, like, I. I need my own group.

Speaker B:

I don't care if there's just one of me.

Speaker B:

This is Rhode Island.

Speaker B:

Hashtag Rhode Island.

Speaker B:

And then the person on the council, and it actually might be somebody from Teddy Ninja.

Speaker B:

I have to see if I'm gonna throw him in there.

Speaker B:

He goes, you know what?

Speaker B:

You sound aggressive.

Speaker B:

Could you say that differently?

Speaker B:

Then the griffin goes, you know, and they drag him off.

Speaker C:

So where have you heard that.

Speaker C:

Those terms before, I wonder?

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

So this.

Speaker B:

This book is going to be what sinners really encouraged me about.

Speaker B:

And like, to quote Hamilton or one of Burr's lines, the room is wide enough.

Speaker B:

Was wide enough for us both.

Speaker B:

Room is definitely room where it happens.

Speaker B:

The world is definitely wide enough for where we all are.

Speaker B:

It encouraged me because the movie was a beautiful, beautiful.

Speaker B:

I like conglomerate.

Speaker B:

I'm gonna use it for this.

Speaker B:

But it was a beautiful conglomerate fusion of a history movie, a gangster movie, and a vampire movie.

Speaker B:

And it worked.

Speaker B:

And A musical.

Speaker B:

And it worked perfectly.

Speaker B:

It was seamless, you know, so I'm like, okay, I can do that in book form.

Speaker B:

Here we go.

Speaker B:

Because some of the books, some of the.

Speaker B:

And this is an adult one.

Speaker B:

So there's gonna be comic pictures too.

Speaker B:

No holds barred.

Speaker C:

Okay, so late.

Speaker C:

No, no, no, Jojo, you can't have this book.

Speaker C:

It's not.

Speaker C:

She's in the screening when I said, don't, Jojo, you can't have it.

Speaker C:

She started.

Speaker E:

JoJo said, I'm removing myself from the seat.

Speaker B:

Excuse me, I gotta tell her to go, to go to bed.

Speaker E:

Actually.

Speaker B:

I think we didn't use any, any words.

Speaker C:

No, no, no.

Speaker C:

She's just a reader.

Speaker C:

She's just a reader.

Speaker B:

Reading so voraciously, so intensely.

Speaker B:

That's wonderful.

Speaker B:

I'm looking forward to reading your book.

Speaker C:

So.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker E:

Okay, Jojo, your homework is to look at the word voracious and intensely.

Speaker E:

Okay?

Speaker E:

You, I want those definitions on my desk.

Speaker B:

I like you.

Speaker B:

Good job, Uncle Navy.

Speaker B:

Good job.

Speaker B:

You know what I realized?

Speaker B:

Like, uncles are always the ones with the judge.

Speaker B:

You know, I miss my late uncle.

Speaker B:

He was a brilliant man.

Speaker B:

Brilliant man.

Speaker B:

His name was Uncle Teddy.

Speaker B:

I'm discovering a lot of black people got an Uncle Teddy somewhere.

Speaker B:

I'm like, hey, you know, and just like funny with the jokes, but deep in, deep with the wisdom.

Speaker B:

Like he was messing what he said, if you keep on, there's gonna be some slow walk and some deep digging, some sad singing, you know, and just these are the amazing people who have of influenced life.

Speaker B:

I definitely see just knowing my family story and how we're going to see, you know, what goes on with the Teddy Ninja show, some elements there and just.

Speaker B:

Yeah, no, but we're also gonna, we're also going to see Teddy Ninja somewhere in this book too.

Speaker B:

So it's, it's going to be a moment that's like intense, action packed and definitely hilarious because like you don't expect a teddy bear to randomly show up with what looks like a very long knife, but it's actually a katana that's built for his size.

Speaker D:

Well, so I'm trying to think of.

Speaker D:

I think I asked this question, what do you envision happening with this series?

Speaker D:

Do you think it's going to be a trilogy?

Speaker D:

Is it going to be single one off?

Speaker B:

I honestly have to see what I noticed about my work.

Speaker B:

Work, especially in the flashbang universe.

Speaker B:

It like a, like a good cornrow.

Speaker B:

It weaves between each other, around each other and helps make a pattern.

Speaker B:

So.

Speaker B:

And kind of does more to Extend the universe.

Speaker B:

So there might be a book after this.

Speaker B:

I'm definitely starting to feel it in my blood about writing Flashbang too.

Speaker B:

With what you guys were discussing.

Speaker B:

Teddy Ninja, if you've definitely covered that story.

Speaker B:

That ending helped.

Speaker B:

Got got decided by the Trayvon Martin verdict.

Speaker B:

I was like, okay, it needs to be this.

Speaker B:

I'm thinking this.

Speaker B:

Maybe we can.

Speaker B:

No, that needs to happen at the end.

Speaker B:

And honestly, I came up with a new character.

Speaker B:

I've been sort of chewing on it for a while, but the character's name is going to be Burr Rabbit.

Speaker B:

Based on.

Speaker B:

Yes, American folk tales and the African folktales.

Speaker B:

Taken aback, Brother Rabbit.

Speaker B:

All different pronouns apply to this character.

Speaker B:

God is a spirit, and so is this person.

Speaker B:

So all things.

Speaker B:

All things and all times.

Speaker B:

And they're here.

Speaker B:

They're.

Speaker B:

Teddy Ninja definitely carries the spirit of justice and maybe a bit of vengeance for this character.

Speaker B:

I have to see if they're doing vengeance because they'll.

Speaker B:

They'll be a rabbit or appearing as a rabbit.

Speaker B:

Slash hair.

Speaker B:

But when stuff gets like, we gonna get funky, get loose.

Speaker B:

They grow antlers and become a jackalope.

Speaker B:

And they're.

Speaker B:

They're thorns.

Speaker B:

They're vines.

Speaker B:

In fact, I started to start their story by writing I was born in a briar patch.

Speaker B:

It's this familiar.

Speaker B:

The Thor, the prick of the thorns, my mother's milk and just as sweet.

Speaker B:

So that I have to see if that character is going to end up showing in.

Speaker B:

They, you know, he, she, they might all might kind of come in later.

Speaker B:

But to answer your question, I have to see it really is going to depend on the timing of it and just kind of if it fits in with what we're doing.

Speaker B:

Because with the show, I'm aware that some stuff.

Speaker B:

While I don't have to entirely move it off my plate, once that show, once the Teddy Ninja show is on the air, I realize I'm not gonna have to be first, you know, and how I manage it and what we have to hit first and how we do it.

Speaker B:

Especially since what I want to do is write all the episodes, get that done.

Speaker B:

Boom, right?

Speaker B:

And then give.

Speaker B:

I want to handle it in a certain way.

Speaker B:

Give the shows out to be written in the way that they should be, finish it, have it done, have it in the canon, and then let it be on the distribution platform or platforms where it will be.

Speaker B:

So I would.

Speaker B:

I honestly, it's funny.

Speaker B:

When I originally started writing this novel, I outlined the whole series.

Speaker B:

I might follow up on that because I ended up.

Speaker B:

I'm Going to end up finishing this book.

Speaker C:

Lord, see what I find, what I find with stories like yours, you know, and I think a Lovecraft country where it's a bible already written, already just set up.

Speaker C:

Opposed to some of the shows you get now where they say, oh, this show's popular.

Speaker C:

Let's write up a second season, third season, fourth season.

Speaker C:

And it does it.

Speaker C:

It's not as cohesive, you know, opposed to you have something already set up, you know, and you're starting out with familiar areas to draw the people in, to draw the reader in and get them exposed.

Speaker C:

Like, okay, I'm familiar with that phrase.

Speaker C:

I'm familiar with that character name, you know, and just now I'm here, now I'm in it.

Speaker C:

In, in.

Speaker C:

And you can go and build from there.

Speaker C:

That's something I find endearing.

Speaker B:

Thank you.

Speaker B:

Thank you.

Speaker B:

I'm a little.

Speaker B:

The funny part about it, I'm a little torn because on one hand, I would love to, once this is done and we have made the money to do so, manifesting.

Speaker B:

I would love to.

Speaker B:

Part of me would love this to be a TV show.

Speaker B:

And we might end up doing that.

Speaker B:

I could see it as a film, we might end up doing that.

Speaker B:

But I really feel a strong call to make this a play.

Speaker B:

And I have to see how we work that maybe we do what Hamilton did.

Speaker B:

We make it a play, then we film at the same time.

Speaker B:

So something with how we publish this or put this out to the public.

Speaker B:

Hey, no.

Speaker B:

Sign this waiver.

Speaker B:

You're gonna be on camera.

Speaker B:

Smile, you're on camera.

Speaker B:

Swaver.

Speaker B:

We're filming this.

Speaker B:

But this is a play.

Speaker B:

You can come and watch.

Speaker B:

But we're going to be filming it like it's a.

Speaker B:

Like it's a movie.

Speaker B:

Because in seeing Hamilton, I, like, I just.

Speaker B:

I didn't see with the OG cast, but I got to see it with still some amazing people to see it as.

Speaker B:

It's funny.

Speaker B:

I watched it on Disney as a film.

Speaker B:

Great.

Speaker B:

Watching the theater, watching those angles hit on a tall screen, even better.

Speaker B:

Those moments that are so intimate, so loud in their silence, even better.

Speaker B:

So I, I kind of would like to do that for Dracula More than Blood.

Speaker B:

I have to.

Speaker B:

As I'm writing this, it's outlined and I'm gonna pick some of my friend tours brains on this as well.

Speaker B:

But it's, it's.

Speaker B:

It, it is.

Speaker B:

It is challenging me in a way, because I'm like, okay, I know we have to move this out because we have this outline.

Speaker B:

Let's do this.

Speaker B:

I Can't wait till I end up getting myself an editor because I'm like, don't, don't hate me.

Speaker B:

Yes, I put you.

Speaker B:

But I didn't do the tab.

Speaker B:

I was on my phone when I wrote this.

Speaker B:

But I think it's almost for me in some ways traditional to write it on my phone because that's exactly how I ended up finished.

Speaker B:

Get it done.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

That's how I ended up finishing Flashbang plus after this is done and when it gets to a certain stage where I'm handing this off to now we're on the editing thing.

Speaker B:

I'm a slide back to that screenplay, Christmas horror screenplay I was working on and work on that.

Speaker B:

But we'll see.

Speaker B:

I would love for this to be a series in some way because I really did enjoy reading the.

Speaker B:

The Anita Blake Chronicles.

Speaker C:

Yes.

Speaker B:

By Laurel K. Hamilton.

Speaker B:

The only thing that pulled me away from it is like, okay, I see one black person.

Speaker C:

Okay, yeah, yeah, one black person.

Speaker C:

Like I like, I like the premise but I need to see us.

Speaker C:

I need to see.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

And I guess it's, it's funny.

Speaker B:

Anita goes through mixed kids struggles.

Speaker B:

Anita, Anita Mexican, her mama Mexican.

Speaker B:

But she identifies as white.

Speaker B:

Not, you know, white, Mexican, American.

Speaker B:

Not just white.

Speaker B:

It's understandable in how she grew up because her dad up and you know, her mama died, her dark hair mama, Mexican mama died and he ended up marrying very Aryan looking woman who didn't exist.

Speaker B:

Acknowledge her mother like didn't even talk about her and probably didn't treat her right.

Speaker B:

So I understand mentally, especially if Anita's going by how she looks, which is very pale, you know, and probably I don't know.

Speaker C:

Which is also a conversation that's had within that community.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

You know, their version, their version of colorism.

Speaker C:

So yeah, that's, that's a major conversation that goes on in their family.

Speaker B:

I under kind of understand.

Speaker B:

Plus I found out that the author I think was Republican.

Speaker B:

Now she has since walked away.

Speaker B:

But that's, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's on my mind plate.

Speaker B:

However, I know that was some years ago.

Speaker B:

I kind of want to check it out.

Speaker C:

Different type of, different type of Republican probably.

Speaker B:

Even so, you know, it's, it's, it is your calling.

Speaker B:

With great power comes great responsibility.

Speaker B:

Hello, Uncle Ben.

Speaker B:

And not the rice.

Speaker B:

To whom much is given, much is required.

Speaker B:

You're a leader.

Speaker B:

It shouldn't be, you shouldn't be about selfishness.

Speaker C:

Right.

Speaker B:

You know, because you've been gifted with that.

Speaker B:

Maybe you got you Know, we talk about one or more talents.

Speaker B:

Parable.

Speaker B:

The talents.

Speaker B:

You have a responsibility to do something, Laura.

Speaker B:

Oh, tell me if I'm saying this wrong.

Speaker B:

Olamina could have just kind of made sure her family was good.

Speaker B:

No, she kept that journal.

Speaker B:

She's buried money in the backyard.

Speaker B:

So she was on go, and she ended up taking.

Speaker B:

She didn't necessarily want to be a leader either.

Speaker B:

All right.

Speaker C:

But that's literally the role of leaders ends up becoming like, I didn't want to do this, but I've been thrust into it because it's.

Speaker C:

It's.

Speaker C:

It's the character.

Speaker C:

It's in their character.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker C:

That they don't recognize or realize at that time.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

And it's funny.

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

I wish sometimes that leaders who are on that path had a mentor, but I read Leslie Odom's Junior Foster.

Speaker B:

Was it failing up or falling up?

Speaker B:

I think it was failing upward.

Speaker B:

That came at the right time.

Speaker B:

When I was dealing with a concussion from a mugging, I fought off two people.

Speaker B:

I'm one of the bad people.

Speaker B:

Like Batman.

Speaker B:

You need some more social programs.

Speaker E:

I won't be like her when I grow up.

Speaker E:

Okay.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker C:

No, Batman does need more social programs.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

Honestly, you got a lot of money.

Speaker C:

You might want to invest in some.

Speaker B:

Yeah, he does hire people out of prison, but, like, there's something.

Speaker B:

If you make sure you have education and people aren't hungry or homeless or burning.

Speaker B:

I'm out in Cali.

Speaker B:

I saw somebody burning some stuff in a suitcase to keep warm at night.

Speaker B:

Like, no, that shouldn't be going on anywhere, really.

Speaker C:

Exactly.

Speaker B:

And now they're making laws to where it's.

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

It's.

Speaker B:

You want to drag them off to a work camp like in Parable of the Sower.

Speaker B:

I recognize this.

Speaker B:

Huh?

Speaker B:

I got nervous when the robot said he wanted a people zoo.

Speaker B:

I'm like, I got pictures of what?

Speaker B:

No, no white robot, man.

Speaker B:

I'm not doing people.

Speaker B:

The black lady robot says she just wanted to be left alone.

Speaker B:

You know what, black lady robot?

Speaker B:

I'm gonna get you a nice place.

Speaker B:

We gotta just dysfunction the.

Speaker C:

Yeah, we gotta.

Speaker C:

We gotta.

Speaker C:

We gotta reverse engineer you real quick.

Speaker C:

Maybe you got a question.

Speaker E:

First of all, it's good to see you again, Rory, because every time you come on here, this is conversation.

Speaker C:

Just.

Speaker E:

I love watching your enthusiasm and your joy as you were just expounding upon your ideas as they go forth into the ecosphere of creativity.

Speaker E:

Bravo to you.

Speaker E:

Sorry, I don't know what it is.

Speaker E:

Since I've been coming, getting into voice acting.

Speaker E:

I will transition over to one of my voices every time.

Speaker B:

No, no, no, no.

Speaker C:

It comes from.

Speaker C:

It comes from years of 80s cartoons, television shows, sitcoms, movies, commercial.

Speaker C:

Yes, but.

Speaker B:

But no, no, Navy, you're the best wizard.

Speaker B:

And thank you for your audition.

Speaker E:

I appreciate it.

Speaker B:

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Speaker B:

Go ahead.

Speaker E:

No, you're good.

Speaker E:

You're good.

Speaker E:

Trust me.

Speaker E:

If this were a conversation to be food in front of us and all of us just be full and still talking with the desire and the manifestation of it becoming a series, have you ever considered going down the avenue of making it an animated series?

Speaker B:

Oh, yes.

Speaker B:

But what I realized really has to happen, at least I think so.

Speaker B:

When.

Speaker B:

Thank you for appreciating my joy.

Speaker B:

I try to.

Speaker B:

Try to have it, try to hold on to it.

Speaker B:

Of course, I.

Speaker B:

You know what?

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

So what we're probably going to end up doing is I really want to see it in live action because I'm seeing the cartoon pages of these folk fighting.

Speaker B:

And then Eric Battle did the COVID for this, you know, and then one gentleman started the.

Speaker B:

The coloring for it.

Speaker B:

And another gentleman called Black Mythos, who's a brilliant artist.

Speaker B:

Please check out his work.

Speaker B:

He can draw, he can color it.

Speaker B:

And he.

Speaker B:

And he an author too.

Speaker B:

Look at that.

Speaker B:

But yeah, no, he's.

Speaker B:

He's somebody who's been riding with me on a lot of different projects, and he's just a good person, too.

Speaker B:

You asked me a question.

Speaker B:

Give me a second.

Speaker B:

David, go back.

Speaker E:

I know you're getting back to it.

Speaker E:

I know you are, baby.

Speaker E:

We're gonna give you that time.

Speaker D:

Just.

Speaker E:

Just come.

Speaker E:

Come on back to the table, people.

Speaker C:

Come.

Speaker C:

That was literally your auntie Vibe.

Speaker C:

She just gave me a question.

Speaker C:

I'm gonna come on back.

Speaker C:

Hold on.

Speaker C:

Give me a second.

Speaker B:

I would like it to.

Speaker B:

Maybe we'll do something like sort of what we've done for the.

Speaker B:

The pitch package for Chatting engine.

Speaker B:

Maybe we'll make a short of it first and then expand it out.

Speaker B:

I really want to do the live action first, but maybe the anime, but I. I don't know.

Speaker B:

It's funny.

Speaker B:

I want to do it, but something's telling me just.

Speaker B:

Just not know, but more of a like not yet vibe, kind of.

Speaker B:

So maybe the first thing we actually do is take it from the pages.

Speaker B:

Maybe kind of do it old school, if you will.

Speaker B:

Take it from the pages in this book, make it into the.

Speaker B:

Already in the.

Speaker B:

The comic format and make it into an animation.

Speaker B:

And then later, you know, so they could see all the different colors of chocolate.

Speaker B:

I just.

Speaker B:

Not just one shade.

Speaker B:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker E:

Come on.

Speaker B:

And then make it into the live action.

Speaker B:

So, yeah, I think maybe that's the path.

Speaker B:

And thank you for bringing that up.

Speaker B:

You have a cool.

Speaker C:

Actually that's.

Speaker C:

That's just actually a cool path or journey or transition to make, because you want to see how it turns out here and how you can develop it over here.

Speaker C:

And it seems like it can go a lot of different areas.

Speaker C:

You don't want to oversaturated.

Speaker C:

Walking Dead style, you know, where they're just like, oh, it's so popular.

Speaker C:

We're gonna do another version.

Speaker C:

They're like, no, I don't think we need that.

Speaker E:

Right.

Speaker C:

But I do want to see something in this form and then see it in this form.

Speaker C:

Because we've seen a lot of.

Speaker C:

Dragon Ball is a perfect example.

Speaker C:

Like, we've seen a lot of.

Speaker C:

A lot of animation.

Speaker C:

Animated fights look great, but then you turn around and you get something live action, and you're like, ah, I didn't transition so well because either the.

Speaker C:

The technology wasn't there yet or the money wasn't there yet, or it just didn't have time to catch up.

Speaker E:

How about the brain power?

Speaker C:

But then we.

Speaker C:

But then you see the third Matrix film, and, like, that's a Dragon Ball fight right there.

Speaker C:

You know, like, it worked out, like.

Speaker C:

And then you look back, like, what the hell were y' all doing?

Speaker C:

But.

Speaker C:

So.

Speaker C:

But, lady, you got a question.

Speaker B:

I just enjoyed looking at your figurines, and I want to know what was going to be next.

Speaker B:

Oh, wait.

Speaker B:

I was like, Ms. Navy's figurines behind him.

Speaker B:

Oh, no.

Speaker E:

She knows.

Speaker E:

She's sick of my figurines.

Speaker E:

I got them all over the place.

Speaker B:

Do you mean.

Speaker B:

I'm trying to think.

Speaker B:

Because we had.

Speaker B:

Do you mean the.

Speaker B:

Think Roy.

Speaker B:

Alexa.

Speaker B:

Still, though, the one that we had in the box that had the little.

Speaker B:

The real sword, it didn't.

Speaker B:

I don't know.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker B:

Because I was looking at the pictures.

Speaker B:

I don't know if it was, like, in a box, but I do know there was, like, a little.

Speaker B:

Oh, okay.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

That is J.

Speaker B:

That is Jay or Jason Richardson, the purveyor, the creator of J1CON.

Speaker B:

And I ended up.

Speaker B:

And I end up so.

Speaker B:

Incredible anime convention.

Speaker B:

There's music, there's wrestling.

Speaker B:

It's just hotel, too.

Speaker B:

And they have nice sheets, y'.

Speaker B:

All.

Speaker B:

I found hair in one of my sheets in a hotel, and I have not been the same.

Speaker B:

Okay, I'm back Really nice.

Speaker B:

And then, like, listen, don't.

Speaker B:

Don't be black in a place long where there's other black people.

Speaker B:

Because I asked a nice cleaning lady, hey, can you vacuum in my room?

Speaker B:

She's like, why do you need it again?

Speaker B:

I thought it was a customer, but I guess I instantly went to a nibbling niece.

Speaker B:

Nephew nibbling.

Speaker B:

And then you become younger than you are, or it's okay.

Speaker B:

It doesn't matter if you're 89.

Speaker B:

Somehow black people learn how to live 200.

Speaker B:

You ain't gonna be the oldest adult or the adult in the room.

Speaker B:

It just magical how that happens.

Speaker B:

I was like, please, can you just.

Speaker B:

But going back to his figurine, so I ended up customizing it to look like Jason.

Speaker B:

And then I put the magical touches on it.

Speaker B:

I cut an applesauce case to be that hat.

Speaker B:

Then I had some hard plastic, and I had some strong behind shears.

Speaker B:

And then I cut that to.

Speaker B:

To be the brim.

Speaker B:

And then for his chest, I did what.

Speaker B:

And there's probably this word for it.

Speaker B:

Micro painting.

Speaker B:

I painted a freaking grid on that chest with the little characters.

Speaker B:

And you could see a shirt that he.

Speaker B:

Based on a shirt he already had.

Speaker B:

And then I listened to my nephew here, and I'm like, hey, do you think.

Speaker B:

Should I make the sleeves white?

Speaker B:

It's a little bit different.

Speaker B:

And I learned from Eric Battle that is something you should be doing.

Speaker B:

If you're making similar price, it's got to be something different each time.

Speaker B:

You know about to quote something, and because it was a song, it said, never do the.

Speaker B:

Is.

Speaker B:

Is the child gone?

Speaker B:

Is the child still there?

Speaker E:

JoJo is gone.

Speaker B:

I'mma use the word.

Speaker B:

I. I created never clap the same way twice.

Speaker B:

King Noir.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

It was another word, but I added mine anyway.

Speaker B:

Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Clear enough shot.

Speaker B:

But I created a grid with.

Speaker B:

Those are nine people on there, 10 with the dude over to the side.

Speaker B:

And I just.

Speaker B:

That was the most chat.

Speaker B:

I think I'm learning to just love challenges, you know, But I think I always have, in a way, you know, hey, some easy stuff is good, but I love that.

Speaker B:

And I thought about something, too.

Speaker B:

Micro painting, weirdly, is easy because you have a small space you have to fill, but you.

Speaker B:

You just.

Speaker B:

It's not as many strokes you have to do with, like, three strokes.

Speaker B:

You can.

Speaker B:

You're making something.

Speaker B:

Would you mind bringing up the little shirt again with the.

Speaker B:

With the grid?

Speaker C:

Hold on.

Speaker E:

Shirt.

Speaker C:

This one?

Speaker D:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Like, I know that's a little blurry.

Speaker B:

But if you'll see, there was only a certain amount of room to do that.

Speaker B:

I used to just write micro because I thought it was fun.

Speaker B:

I'm like, one day this will come in handy.

Speaker B:

And it did.

Speaker B:

It was so interesting to do that.

Speaker B:

And then I painted his watch on them because he had a watch in there.

Speaker B:

Jason, excuse me, sometimes does karaoke.

Speaker B:

That is deeply his thing.

Speaker B:

He has an amazing voice too.

Speaker B:

He's also the VO work and.

Speaker B:

Yeah, now that's.

Speaker B:

And he had a mustache at the time, which is why I included that and his little shades.

Speaker C:

Yeah, that's definitely Jay Rich.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker E:

For real.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Oh, you guys.

Speaker B:

I hope you guys got a look at the Ken doll I. I did to make him yet again.

Speaker B:

And this is.

Speaker B:

That is an incredible book.

Speaker B:

I got a chance to interview Ms. Kaylin and God, please let me be saying this right.

Speaker B:

Bris, he's the main character.

Speaker B:

I was like, I gotta make a doll about this character.

Speaker B:

I just.

Speaker B:

I gotta do it.

Speaker B:

And the story is incredible.

Speaker B:

It's a young woman who has.

Speaker B:

I've been saying phytokinesis.

Speaker B:

I gotta double check that word.

Speaker B:

But she has plant control and she can't be poisoned.

Speaker B:

She's adopted.

Speaker B:

And she.

Speaker B:

Her and her two moms investigate her heritage and it crosses over with the story of Jason and the Argonauts.

Speaker B:

But from a few.

Speaker B:

A femme perspective or feminist perspective or womanist perspective.

Speaker B:

But we dealing with.

Speaker B:

We North African when we're Medea.

Speaker B:

And that story is quite different from a different angle.

Speaker B:

So I enjoyed.

Speaker B:

I really enjoyed making that doll as well.

Speaker B:

I've always loved dolls.

Speaker B:

Kept playing with them.

Speaker B:

15, 17.

Speaker B:

I was a babysitter.

Speaker B:

I said, hey, I'm open to playing dolls.

Speaker B:

She had an amazing doll collection.

Speaker D:

Oh, yeah.

Speaker B:

Eventually we did.

Speaker B:

It was more my idea for my joy.

Speaker C:

Hey, for somebody that.

Speaker C:

For somebody likes to paint.

Speaker C:

I know Whoopty is.

Speaker C:

He's our.

Speaker C:

She's our nail technician.

Speaker C:

Our nail.

Speaker C:

Our nail Smith, if you will.

Speaker C:

Do you have any tips that you want to ask or questions when I ask about the painting process?

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker C:

I should say.

Speaker D:

Well, my question is really about the painting process.

Speaker C:

It's about.

Speaker C:

For someone who has.

Speaker D:

Who seems to have so much creativity, do you ever have moments where you just can't tap into your creativity and what do you do to get out of it?

Speaker E:

Good question.

Speaker B:

I could be quite specific.

Speaker B:

Usually my stuff gets shaken a bit when I'm dealing with something emotional and what I've had to do at one time.

Speaker B:

And I was madder than two Two wet hens and a.

Speaker B:

A paper sack.

Speaker B:

I stopped working.

Speaker B:

Like, I just.

Speaker B:

I was like, I could afford it.

Speaker B:

Then I call the people.

Speaker B:

I said, hey, I'm dealing with some.

Speaker B:

Some family stuff.

Speaker B:

I need to slow down and stop because what's happened to me?

Speaker B:

I'm usually good.

Speaker B:

You guys seem to organize.

Speaker B:

But as a neurodiverse person, somebody who has all dht, that takes all my effort, you know, just takes so much effort to keep everything straight.

Speaker B:

What I've also done.

Speaker B:

Therapy has been amazing.

Speaker B:

Thank you Jesus for all the therapists, even though some of them were not culturally cognizant.

Speaker B:

But for shout out to my black therapist, yes.

Speaker B:

But I just kind of stepped back a little bit.

Speaker B:

And I'm not.

Speaker B:

To be honest.

Speaker B:

One of the gifts of this particular brain structuring is the fact that I will always be daydreaming.

Speaker B:

I just have to make sure that daydreaming is not rumination, you know, which really sucks so much.

Speaker B:

But it.

Speaker B:

That has slowly gotten better.

Speaker B:

So I kind of just step back a little bit and then I try to.

Speaker B:

What is it kind of how you get over a phobia?

Speaker B:

Well, it's funny.

Speaker B:

They give you a little bit.

Speaker B:

They kind of work you up to where you're no longer afraid of that spider.

Speaker E:

Just a gradual.

Speaker E:

A gradual, gradual doses.

Speaker E:

And little by little so it increases over time until you are no longer.

Speaker B:

Bingo.

Speaker C:

That's what I was doing when I got over monsters when I was a kid.

Speaker B:

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker B:

So for me, what I do.

Speaker B:

And I guess in as the prophet Missy Ellie said, flip that and reverse it.

Speaker B:

I probably didn't say it right, but we're gonna go with that.

Speaker B:

I just kind of add a little bit of a pause.

Speaker B:

Pause.

Speaker B:

Because I realize when I'm upset, stuff gets slippery.

Speaker B:

Like I had an interview that got messed up.

Speaker B:

I missed it.

Speaker B:

Oh, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep.

Speaker B:

Just imagine Mario cursing as that song plays.

Speaker B:

But I just kind of slow down and stop or I do something else.

Speaker B:

And also I realized and this is just when you mad at like too many people issue, baby, it's you.

Speaker B:

So I'm like, you know what?

Speaker B:

I gotta let it go.

Speaker B:

Whatever I was mad at over here, I just.

Speaker C:

Wait, say it.

Speaker C:

Say that one more time because I know there is somebody out there who does not know that.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker B:

You know.

Speaker B:

And you know what?

Speaker B:

I was about to say something interesting.

Speaker B:

I promise I'll say it again.

Speaker B:

I was about to say, oh, well, no, I'm not perfect.

Speaker B:

I'm like, you know what?

Speaker B:

No, your birthday was.

Speaker B:

What date is it?

Speaker B:

Two days ago at 50.

Speaker B:

We're gonna be let all the.

Speaker B:

All the.

Speaker B:

All the out the closet.

Speaker B:

And then, you know, so we're gonna practice for that.

Speaker B:

Now I will say what I said, and I'll say it with pride in my chest.

Speaker B:

And by the way, I'm wearing my Teddy Ninja shirt shirt.

Speaker B:

Hold on, Let me see if I can stand up.

Speaker B:

Knock, knock over my computer.

Speaker B:

Give me a second, y'.

Speaker C:

All.

Speaker B:

This is another thing.

Speaker E:

She gonna show off all her muscles now.

Speaker E:

Watch out.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker B:

I have been trying to do a little strength training.

Speaker E:

Gonna be flexing.

Speaker E:

See, there you go.

Speaker E:

There go.

Speaker E:

There go that bicep.

Speaker E:

She flexing on us over there.

Speaker B:

Thank you.

Speaker B:

Thank you.

Speaker B:

Okay.

Speaker B:

I could not.

Speaker B:

I didn't make it, y', all, but that's Teddy Ninja grinning.

Speaker B:

And I, you know, have the shirt on today.

Speaker B:

But what I said is, like, when you're mad at, like, eight different people for eight different reasons, it's you boo.

Speaker D:

Issue, and it's time to forgive at.

Speaker B:

Least some of them.

Speaker B:

Let's figure out what is at the root of this.

Speaker B:

And what's interesting is that with certain neurodiverse conditions, like autism, for example, you know, it may take you a moment to get there, to kind of really be able to even name that feeling.

Speaker B:

What could end up helping with that is an emotion wheel or an emotion chart with pictures.

Speaker B:

You know, just pictures help a lot, and.

Speaker B:

Yeah, so just to kind of go back and answer your question, I kind of just step back a little bit or I ruminate, you know, in talking about that imperfection, which I definitely struggle with.

Speaker B:

It's not just the virgo in me.

Speaker B:

It's a neurodiverse Virgo.

Speaker B:

And just, you know, the really cool things can have a really bad shadow work side, you know, but, yeah, I just kind of step back from it a little bit or try to focus on something else.

Speaker B:

I also gave this advice to one of my.

Speaker B:

One of my many mentees.

Speaker B:

Focus on another art, too.

Speaker B:

And it's funny, I had to, like.

Speaker B:

I want to actually ask you a question, too, because you're.

Speaker B:

You're a nail tech, and you.

Speaker B:

You're used to doing tiny pictures.

Speaker B:

But, yeah, just.

Speaker B:

Just step back a little bit and.

Speaker B:

And play somewhere else a little bit, you know, do something that try.

Speaker B:

Can make you happy, you know, even if you are in a depressive period, you can.

Speaker B:

And it's okay not to create in a depressive period.

Speaker B:

You can if you want.

Speaker B:

To.

Speaker B:

I did.

Speaker B:

I was.

Speaker B:

I went to work during the pandemic.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

But to become the online the.

Speaker B:

The quarantine of bro Quarantino.

Speaker B:

But yeah, but it's okay if you're not creating if you are just keeping self.

Speaker B:

Because I, I was watching Mr. Kendrick Sampson on his live the art of this Kendrick Sampson and one thing he advised is just getting close during this time of uprising and needing to deal with different things.

Speaker B:

Get to know your neighbors, see what they need, see what you need.

Speaker B:

How are you keeping your most healthy?

Speaker B:

That's enough.

Speaker B:

And I kind of like tuck into that.

Speaker B:

My my.

Speaker B:

Like I said, my non creative peers come more when I'm up upset about something or something really hurts, you know, or just that.

Speaker B:

And we all definitely deal with that.

Speaker B:

But I will say this.

Speaker B:

Those who are up under in autism ADHD audience aren't the only things under that umbrella of neurodiversity.

Speaker B:

It also includes some other things like PTSD and things of that cptsd which is complex and that's something to discover.

Speaker B:

Like oh, you're not just shook from what the terrible thing.

Speaker D:

Oh, it's complex.

Speaker B:

It's gonna go like this.

Speaker B:

Okay, thanks for the favors.

Speaker B:

Thanks for the Christmas decorations.

Speaker B:

But, but yeah, that's what I do.

Speaker B:

I kind of like try to vibe on something else and not like I said, do the, do the, the, the.

Speaker B:

What is it?

Speaker B:

The spinny circle thing.

Speaker B:

That is thankful.

Speaker B:

That is rumination.

Speaker B:

But big feelings.

Speaker B:

That is a very strong part of.

Speaker B:

Of the particular neurodiversities that I've mentioned.

Speaker B:

So that can be extremely hard.

Speaker B:

And I was mad as like I said, two hands on a wet paper bag.

Speaker B:

Feel free to use that one.

Speaker C:

Wow.

Speaker C:

The visual I just got, I'm like.

Speaker E:

Oh, yo, same here.

Speaker B:

But I would pay to see it.

Speaker C:

Because I'm curious now.

Speaker B:

Or imagine Peter in the chicken costume fighting that chicken in a giant paper bag.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

But yeah, no, I just, I just try to get into something else.

Speaker B:

You know, big feelings.

Speaker B:

Don't make any big decisions while you having big feelings.

Speaker B:

That's a problem.

Speaker C:

I think that is a.

Speaker C:

It is.

Speaker C:

That's a big problem that I see a lot of in a lot of.

Speaker C:

A lot of different communities.

Speaker C:

As a of fact matter that it's not just one community, it's a lot of different communities.

Speaker C:

That does it.

Speaker C:

That does that.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

I mean think about it.

Speaker C:

People hit.

Speaker C:

Hit the lottery and first thing is, oh, I'm gonna do this.

Speaker C:

And I'm like, yeah, first you got to pay taxes.

Speaker C:

Yes.

Speaker C:

You don't bought all this stuff, and now you owe so much in taxes because you didn't pay your taxes.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

They're looking for you.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

So, Rory, you have so many different avenues that I can travel down, you know, from between Teddy Ninja and now Dracula.

Speaker C:

And now you're the miniatures that you're doing, which are really cool.

Speaker C:

Shout out to Jason Richardson, the J1 con.

Speaker C:

He's always doing some stuff like.

Speaker C:

Like Whoopi said.

Speaker C:

How do you process it all?

Speaker C:

And you.

Speaker C:

You've managed to have a good way of processing it.

Speaker C:

You know, when you're writing out your stories and when you're creating these new worlds and these new universes and.

Speaker C:

And trying to find the best way to convey your thoughts and your feelings and whatever the story is taking place, I commend you.

Speaker C:

Because not many people can transfer that.

Speaker C:

You know, they may not know.

Speaker C:

They can.

Speaker C:

They may not have.

Speaker C:

They may not know they have adhd.

Speaker C:

They may not know they have a certain level of autism.

Speaker C:

Because there's more than one level.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

You know, they may not know they have a PTSD or CPTSD or anything of that level.

Speaker C:

So these are things, especially in the black community.

Speaker C:

Especially in the black community.

Speaker C:

It's something that is not.

Speaker C:

It's.

Speaker C:

It's getting more recognized.

Speaker C:

Yes.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

But thank.

Speaker C:

Thank God it is.

Speaker C:

But, you know, they're.

Speaker C:

They're realizing that there's outlets that can be used.

Speaker C:

There's, you know, ways.

Speaker C:

Because they've been stunted to.

Speaker C:

From doing something.

Speaker C:

Oh, why you in there drawing those pictures that looks stupid, you know, like.

Speaker C:

No, maybe that's the release, you know?

Speaker B:

Exactly.

Speaker B:

You won't listen.

Speaker B:

Let Ray Ray draw his pictures.

Speaker C:

Right.

Speaker C:

He might be telling you a story that you may not.

Speaker C:

That he may not be speaking about, you know?

Speaker C:

Right.

Speaker B:

Oh, that is a big part of art therapy.

Speaker B:

Play therapy.

Speaker B:

Right.

Speaker B:

Yeah, no, it's.

Speaker B:

And I guess it is good if Ray Ray is able to say something.

Speaker B:

If Ray Ray is feeling brave enough to put it on paper.

Speaker B:

That Ray Ray draw.

Speaker C:

That's it.

Speaker B:

Heard it.

Speaker C:

So we are coming to the next section of the show.

Speaker C:

Got a lot, not a lot of news.

Speaker C:

We're not going to cover all the news, but we got a little bit of news.

Speaker C:

We got a little bit of news.

Speaker C:

You want to stick around, talk about.

Speaker B:

About it?

Speaker B:

Sure.

Speaker C:

Okay.

Speaker E:

Go anywhere.

Speaker C:

You.

Speaker E:

You better not go anywhere.

Speaker C:

Right here, maybe.

Speaker E:

No, no.

Speaker E:

I encourage her to remain with us.

Speaker E:

Highly encouraged.

Speaker B:

Yes.

Speaker C:

So here.

Speaker C:

Here we got some little bit of blur news.

Speaker C:

So Diamond Distributors has.

Speaker C:

They've.

Speaker C:

They have Been going through the ringer and the latest thing they just dealt with is if you go to your comic shop, you get a previews magazine, you get an option to get a previews magazine, talk about what comic books are coming out next, what events are going to happen next, and everything else from both houses.

Speaker C:

Houses.

Speaker C:

And now they just.

Speaker C:

They're canceling the previews catalog.

Speaker C:

There's no clue on.

Speaker C:

I don't even think they're going to have their digital version coming out next month.

Speaker C:

Not only that, but they laid off the entire staff of previews, including the owner and the manager and one of the writers.

Speaker C:

I don't think.

Speaker C:

I don't see diming lasting to the end of the year at this.

Speaker C:

At this rate.

Speaker C:

Because I think the last thing before that was.

Speaker C:

I think they were suing some.

Speaker C:

Some comic distributor or comic companies or something.

Speaker C:

I don't know.

Speaker D:

The last thing I heard, they closed their New York offices up here.

Speaker D:

I think that was maybe the beginning of summer or the end of.

Speaker D:

And the winter, maybe spring.

Speaker D:

Spring, Winter.

Speaker E:

That was.

Speaker E:

That was mid spring.

Speaker E:

And another entity, Comic Pro, has actually taken over part of their distribution and some of them, some other companies, because diamond were the ones who were dispersing out the Comic Con badges to.

Speaker E:

To the retailers like myself.

Speaker E:

And I found out this year was Comic Pro that took that over.

Speaker E:

I was like, oh, oh, okay.

Speaker C:

Wasn't sure how to take it, see, because it made me wonder, like, they're a mate.

Speaker C:

They've been a major distributor for almost, what, 40 years.

Speaker C:

So it made me question, like, what's happening?

Speaker C:

What would happen to the industry?

Speaker E:

It was a.

Speaker E:

It was a bunch of factors.

Speaker E:

The main thing was they were not following through with their commitments to a lot of retailers.

Speaker E:

There were a lot of retailers who put in orders through diamond because Diamond's been their main thoroughfare, us included, for the longest time.

Speaker E:

And then they weren't meeting deadlines.

Speaker C:

They were.

Speaker E:

Or there were special orders that weren't being met if they were.

Speaker E:

And they would come to you for money, but you would never see anything coming from them.

Speaker E:

And the communication was always fragmented.

Speaker E:

And this is just the tip of.

Speaker C:

The iceberg that we've been seeing.

Speaker C:

So, like, I think a staffer even said, yeah, it's probably not going to last much longer, maybe not even to the end of the year.

Speaker C:

And we're.

Speaker C:

We're in the.

Speaker C:

We're in the.

Speaker C:

We're going into the fourth quarter and how.

Speaker B:

And.

Speaker B:

And holiday season at that.

Speaker C:

Yeah, so that probably that.

Speaker C:

Whoever that stabber is, they're probably right.

Speaker C:

Go ahead, Lady Mandalore.

Speaker D:

And they'll.

Speaker D:

They'll be able to make it through to next year.

Speaker D:

My question is, what are they waiting for?

Speaker D:

Like, just close the doors.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

Because I think they filed chapter 11.

Speaker D:

I think so.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker E:

They filed chapter 11.

Speaker B:

Seven.

Speaker E:

But there's that hope that somebody will buy them up completely, which you've already had two entities take up some of your, some of your other parts of the company, but you're expecting someone to buy the whole thing.

Speaker E:

No, you've created too much of a bad rep. No one's going to want to take that shadow.

Speaker E:

Nobody's going to want that.

Speaker C:

They've been, I think, within the past.

Speaker C:

We're 20, 25.

Speaker C:

I probably say past seven years.

Speaker C:

They've been taken.

Speaker C:

It might be 10 years.

Speaker C:

I think seven is taking away.

Speaker C:

I think maybe the past 10 years they've been just taking dumps.

Speaker C:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker C:

They, they.

Speaker C:

It's because there are, there are.

Speaker C:

There are story lines that I walked away from because of.

Speaker C:

Of the release.

Speaker C:

They weren't being met.

Speaker C:

You know, they didn't get the shipment in.

Speaker C:

And, you know, into the, to the casual comic book store gore.

Speaker C:

They would think it's the store's fault.

Speaker C:

No, it's not.

Speaker C:

You know, they, they literally did not get that shipment in, you know, and, you know, so that Wednesday shipment that they're so, so always looking for doesn't exist.

Speaker C:

You know, so you're, you're watching.

Speaker C:

If you're, if you're looking at, if you're looking at.

Speaker C:

Hey, Spartan.

Speaker C:

If you're looking at the three jokers, you know, which I, I never finished.

Speaker C:

You know, I never finished.

Speaker C:

It was just like.

Speaker C:

I'm like.

Speaker C:

That was for various reasons.

Speaker C:

It wasn't just the, the releases.

Speaker C:

So it was just.

Speaker C:

I see a lot of that happening, and it makes, it.

Speaker C:

Does it make you wonder who's taking over right now?

Speaker E:

Diamond is.

Speaker C:

They're bleeding.

Speaker C:

They're.

Speaker E:

They're, they're dying.

Speaker E:

And there are two other companies.

Speaker E:

You have Lunar.

Speaker C:

You look like you took a splash for a hot second.

Speaker C:

You literally just dived in the pool reference.

Speaker E:

I'm back.

Speaker E:

Do you miss?

Speaker C:

Yeah, there you go.

Speaker E:

Listen, I just brought you back.

Speaker E:

Do not make me get rid of you again.

Speaker C:

It's like, it literally sounded like he.

Speaker B:

Well, damn.

Speaker C:

He's like, splash.

Speaker E:

Listen, your boy Navy could use a better microphone.

Speaker E:

So y' all want to trust me, it's not my fault.

Speaker E:

But the two main companies are Lunar Distribution and Penguin Random House.

Speaker E:

Those are the two companies we're getting because we saw the writing on the wall.

Speaker E:

When diamond stopped distributing DC and Lunar Takeover Knowledge, did they take over.

Speaker E:

They made diamond look foolish.

Speaker E:

They were answering everything.

Speaker E:

Special orders where you would get the 1 in 25s and the 1 in 50s.

Speaker E:

They go, you want it here, we'll just sell it to you.

Speaker E:

Seriously, diamond never did that.

Speaker E:

They made you order 25 copies of this comic.

Speaker E:

That was garbage.

Speaker E:

Just to get that one Variant cover.

Speaker C:

Diamond treat you like Columbia House.

Speaker C:

Oh, wow.

Speaker B:

Wow.

Speaker C:

I still owe them money for CDs.

Speaker C:

Am I wrong, Reverend?

Speaker C:

Am I wrong about that?

Speaker C:

No, you're not.

Speaker E:

That's why I'm laughing.

Speaker E:

Especially the 2:00am commercials.

Speaker E:

Get all of the hits from the R and B of the 70s and 80s here at Columbia Random House.

Speaker E:

And you can give your first board and we'll still not give you all a deal.

Speaker C:

Let me go ahead and write that down.

Speaker C:

That 31 cent deal messed up a lot of people credit.

Speaker C:

I can use this album and this album.

Speaker E:

Oh, my uncle was mad.

Speaker B:

Too.

Speaker C:

It's like, okay, 31 cents I ain't get.

Speaker C:

So.

Speaker C:

So I guess so.

Speaker C:

It seems like the.

Speaker C:

The issue for diamond is being solved.

Speaker C:

Just Diamond.

Speaker C:

Diamond's gonna shutter the door.

Speaker C:

Like, like Lady Mandalore said.

Speaker C:

I.

Speaker C:

They might as well just shut up shop.

Speaker C:

They already shut up their New York branch.

Speaker C:

They just might as well just shut up shop.

Speaker C:

And I think there's.

Speaker C:

At this point, it is just whatever you got left, just get rid of it.

Speaker D:

My question is, if they.

Speaker D:

They is.

Speaker D:

I'm thinking financial, strategic, strategically, in the financial sense is.

Speaker D:

I don't know if, when you file chapter 11, if you can sell your debt to somebody.

Speaker D:

Because if somebody can seize the potential, you know, all of their company in all of their client clientele that they actually get the orders from, whether it be the comic book distributor, the comic book store themselves, or the publishers.

Speaker D:

That's a lot of money.

Speaker C:

I'll save you.

Speaker C:

I'll say I'll save you a Google search.

Speaker C:

No.

Speaker D:

Okay.

Speaker B:

Yeah, thanks.

Speaker C:

Only reason I know that is because dc, a long time ago, tried to sell off the Batman IP when they were really hurting.

Speaker C:

And certain powers that be sat there and said, no, it's a violation.

Speaker C:

It's.

Speaker C:

It's an antitrust violation.

Speaker C:

And this is right before D.C. was considering bankruptcy.

Speaker C:

They got told, you cannot sell off your debts to other people.

Speaker C:

Other people have to collect your debts through another means.

Speaker C:

But you yourself, owning the debt, cannot sell it to somebody else.

Speaker B:

That's crazy.

Speaker B:

But I understand it.

Speaker C:

Yeah, that makes sense.

Speaker D:

Can they even get bought since they're in bankruptcy.

Speaker C:

I don't think it would have to go into a.

Speaker C:

It would have to go into.

Speaker C:

I forgot what they call for negotiations.

Speaker C:

It would have to go into that, and you would have to have a third party that would have to come in, and they have to acknowledge the debt in its entirety to buy it.

Speaker E:

So they're going to mediations.

Speaker C:

Thank you.

Speaker E:

To do that.

Speaker C:

That's what it is.

Speaker D:

Penguin.

Speaker D:

Penguin can do that with their eyes closed.

Speaker C:

Yes, they can.

Speaker D:

They got money.

Speaker E:

Penguin Random House has been.

Speaker E:

Man, when they stepped up, they stepped the up.

Speaker D:

Oh, my God.

Speaker D:

Can you imagine if they brought back the.

Speaker D:

The book fairs and they had comics?

Speaker D:

Oh, my God.

Speaker E:

Y' all see the collection smiles across the screens when book fairs were coming up.

Speaker E:

And this.

Speaker C:

That was.

Speaker C:

That was a wonderful $20.

Speaker C:

I'm the man.

Speaker C:

It was a wonderful time.

Speaker E:

Just get the double decker tour buses and turn that into the book fair.

Speaker C:

Right.

Speaker E:

That would be amazing.

Speaker C:

So go ahead.

Speaker B:

Listen.

Speaker B:

I will move on that bus.

Speaker C:

Hold on.

Speaker C:

Say that again.

Speaker C:

Whoopty.

Speaker D:

When I lived in Florida, they had a huge one.

Speaker C:

It was.

Speaker B:

It wasn't south beach, but you might.

Speaker C:

Yes, okay.

Speaker B:

That's why.

Speaker E:

There we go, baby.

Speaker E:

There we go.

Speaker C:

When I lived in South Florida, they.

Speaker B:

Had a huge book fair that I.

Speaker C:

Used to go to every year.

Speaker C:

It was as close as you can.

Speaker B:

Get to a scholastic book fair as an adult.

Speaker C:

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker D:

I got ideas.

Speaker D:

I'm just saying I could help you make some money.

Speaker C:

All right, so real quick, it turns out DC's Red Hood writer or ex writer Gretchen Felt Martin, who was fired after her comments about a certain, uh, Charles Cook Kirk.

Speaker C:

She said, I'm standing 10 toes down.

Speaker C:

I said, what?

Speaker C:

I said.

Speaker E:

Enjoy the dirt that you're standing in.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

She's like, I'm standing 10 doors down.

Speaker C:

I'm.

Speaker C:

I'm fine with what I said.

Speaker C:

But now that the Red Hood book is out in the ether, DC is like, no telling the comic stores to, hey, can you send those books back?

Speaker C:

And the answers would be, no, no.

Speaker E:

Them bad boys have been selling for several reasons.

Speaker B:

They made notorious by what they did.

Speaker B:

I don't blame the, the young lady for what she said because, oh, you.

Speaker B:

You want me dead.

Speaker B:

Oh, maybe I feel the same way.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

You know, I'm just saying.

Speaker B:

And by.

Speaker B:

By firing, you know, this.

Speaker B:

This person, this artist.

Speaker B:

You know what?

Speaker B:

You may have just made it easier for her next job.

Speaker B:

I'm just saying.

Speaker C:

At the same time, she still gets paid.

Speaker C:

They would have been better off just saying hey.

Speaker C:

Not say anything.

Speaker C:

Just whatever it could have been or.

Speaker B:

Or lessen a little bit of what's maybe saying that or going through regular channels.

Speaker B:

Also, I wonder if she could sue him for.

Speaker B:

And I'm correct.

Speaker B:

I'm not using her pronoun.

Speaker B:

I believe I am.

Speaker B:

But yeah, for.

Speaker B:

I think somebody said it.

Speaker D:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

Like unlawful firing something.

Speaker B:

I would be scouring the book termination.

Speaker C:

And if she speaks a lot of contract, she's still under contract.

Speaker C:

Yes.

Speaker C:

Especially if she's still under contract.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

So I.

Speaker B:

You know what?

Speaker B:

I hope some manifesting.

Speaker B:

I hope some wonderful lawyer hops on freedom.

Speaker B:

That part.

Speaker B:

That part gets her all.

Speaker B:

All her money.

Speaker B:

All her money.

Speaker B:

And just like the dude just got his award and he's about to become a royal tear.

Speaker B:

Even more said.

Speaker B:

The gloves are off.

Speaker B:

The governor said punch him in the mouth.

Speaker B:

I'm like, yes, I like this.

Speaker B:

I like this song.

Speaker C:

That's the thing.

Speaker C:

As long it depends on what's in her non compete.

Speaker C:

If it's her.

Speaker C:

If her non compete doesn't have any comments compensation for as long as XYZ isn't.

Speaker C:

Isn't breached.

Speaker C:

And yeah, whoever.

Speaker C:

Whoever her lawyer is.

Speaker C:

How are we gonna screw you over?

Speaker C:

And do we get money?

Speaker C:

And how the law firm of do we get money?

Speaker C:

And how they gonna have a field day with her like a Three Stooges episode?

Speaker A:

I'm not.

Speaker C:

I'm not trying to be that person.

Speaker C:

But you know, if you hear certain names like Frankens, like Doofen Smirts Frankens and me and Knox is like, oh, y'.

Speaker C:

All.

Speaker C:

Oh, y' all legit hate you.

Speaker C:

Or they got Esquire behind Do we get money?

Speaker C:

And how.

Speaker C:

Like that's the.

Speaker C:

The name of the company.

Speaker C:

Hey, hey.

Speaker C:

Better than hearing Top Dog Law.

Speaker C:

I can't stand that dog commerce every time it comes on.

Speaker B:

Down there too.

Speaker B:

Oh, my God.

Speaker C:

I thought that was a Cleveland thing.

Speaker B:

I thought that that was a price thing.

Speaker D:

So.

Speaker C:

They got.

Speaker C:

They got a.

Speaker C:

They got an Avengers style one that just threw me off on the.

Speaker C:

On the way to the grocery store.

Speaker C:

Like, I thought I was listening to another Marvel thing.

Speaker C:

It's like, we need you, Top Dog.

Speaker C:

I was like, who is this person that y' all keep getting to write these scripts?

Speaker C:

And how do y'.

Speaker A:

All.

Speaker C:

Y' all must be winning cases to have this many commercials.

Speaker C:

That's all I'm saying.

Speaker C:

Because I. I'm recently finding out that Top Dog Law is not a Cleveland thing.

Speaker C:

It's a national thing.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

Wait, what?

Speaker E:

They just put in the chat.

Speaker E:

Yo, I'm screaming at this.

Speaker B:

Do we screw them out?

Speaker B:

That needs to be in somebody's script.

Speaker C:

I was thinking of every.

Speaker C:

Of every circle certain of a certain demographics name I could put in there.

Speaker C:

I was like, oh, that sounds so much better.

Speaker C:

No, but I think.

Speaker C:

I think you're right.

Speaker C:

It could be a good lawyer could say this is an unlawful firing.

Speaker B:

It just should be first amendment.

Speaker B:

Stop playing.

Speaker C:

You need somebody of the.

Speaker C:

Of the what's her face who's a former prosecutor of Georgia.

Speaker C:

You need her.

Speaker E:

You need.

Speaker C:

You need Ms. Willis.

Speaker C:

Because Ms. Willis was ready to nail a certain man child to the wall.

Speaker C:

That's the kind of bulldog you won't represent you in court.

Speaker C:

When she can sit there and just.

Speaker C:

When she can sit there.

Speaker C:

Oh, Fanny Willis.

Speaker C:

When you can sit there and destroy your prosecution from the witness side and it's not even your turn to prosecute and you got them flipping pages.

Speaker C:

I want her.

Speaker C:

She.

Speaker C:

She has that energy.

Speaker C:

Like, do I look like I give a damn?

Speaker C:

Because I don't.

Speaker B:

Love that manifesting a good, good lawyer.

Speaker B:

A good nerdy, blurty fill in the blank lawyer who wants to hop up and do what they got to do, right?

Speaker E:

Who are your friends?

Speaker E:

Kalfus and Nachman?

Speaker B:

The hell what?

Speaker B:

That's great.

Speaker C:

Yeah, you're right.

Speaker C:

Yeah.

Speaker C:

Those top dog law.

Speaker C:

Between that and Morgan and Morgan, I swear those.

Speaker C:

If someone questions your fandom, them.

Speaker E:

Because if they don't know your passion, if they don't know your heart.

If they're not even willing to try to get to know why you love what you love, then they want to be your op.

Speaker E:

And guess what?

Speaker E:

That this is long.

Speaker E:

I have no problem signing people up for it.
