Speaker 2: And welcome to the show.
00:00:29
My name is Alex and I'm Lizzie and, if you didn't know, it may
00:00:34
be a strike, but we are giving our awards to our fans for the
00:00:40
second annual crayon contest.
00:00:45
And, lizzie, we got our shirts on, we got our whatever on and
00:00:52
we are ready to go.
00:00:54
And it's been a while since we've talked to each other
00:00:57
because you've been busy being a world traveler in Florida.
00:01:03
Speaker 3: That's third world yeah whatever.
00:01:06
Speaker 2: I'm not a Florida fan , but at the same time, we have
00:01:10
got a show for you.
00:01:12
You know Sunday might be from day, but Sunday is also awards
00:01:17
day, exactly, and I know we should have done this a couple
00:01:23
of weeks, months, whatever.
00:01:25
You know.
00:01:25
A little thing kind of got in the way, but you know what.
00:01:29
That's not going to stop us from doing what we do, which is
00:01:33
talk about from, and you know I love this particular episode
00:01:38
more than anybody any of them, because this year we got a bunch
00:01:42
of great.
00:01:43
Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
00:01:44
Speaker 2: And these responses.
00:01:46
Folks are just out of this world.
00:01:49
I mean, we may not know what's in this world, but they are out
00:01:53
of this world and you know first off what you've been up to.
00:02:05
Speaker 3: I don't know and that's our show.
00:02:06
Yeah, sometimes it feels like a whole lot of nothing.
00:02:10
Um, working in the film industry my industry has stopped
00:02:15
because of the two strikes, that's.
00:02:18
That's it Like, just stand still, nothing's going on.
00:02:23
And so what I've been doing is one of my little side jobs and
00:02:30
then doing some writing.
00:02:33
I went to Tampa Bay Comic Con to sell my book.
00:02:37
There we go, and you know it was a great time, did the best
00:02:44
I'd ever done, so that's a great thing.
00:02:47
I don't know.
00:02:49
Resting that's awesome, got some health things going on, so you
00:02:55
know.
00:02:55
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully everything is good.
00:02:58
Like you, I've been kind of laying low and doing stuff,
00:03:03
working hard in my real job, and my daughter decided.
00:03:07
She said to me the other day, daddy, I want a podcast with you
00:03:12
.
00:03:12
And I'm like what do you want a podcast on?
00:03:15
Because she's eight.
00:03:15
So we developed the Daddy daughter book worms and you can
00:03:23
check it out.
00:03:24
It'll be in the show notes.
00:03:26
Um, and what we do is we talk about kids books.
00:03:33
Speaker 3: I love it.
00:03:34
I love it so much.
00:03:37
Speaker 2: And you know, folks, if you're into, if you love a
00:03:43
good children's book, it's great .
00:03:47
If you just want a good break from life, it's 10 minutes out
00:03:52
of your day.
00:03:53
Listen to my daughter and me be like an idiot and you know
00:04:00
we're.
00:04:00
We've got our first, first Patreon already.
00:04:06
Yeah so and and folks.
00:04:08
You know it's kind of a labor of love for me because I get to
00:04:13
work with my daughter.
00:04:14
I've ended up spending like a $5 on equipment because we
00:04:18
have to podcast in front of each other.
00:04:20
But you know, oh well, and you know who knows, maybe I'll even
00:04:25
get this lady next to me on the show.
00:04:27
Down the road we'll say but it's a lot of fun, you lady.
00:04:32
Speaker 3: What ladies next to you?
00:04:36
Speaker 2: The one that's right next to me that actually writes.
00:04:39
So if you are an aspiring children's writer and you do
00:04:43
have a book a children's book, not a adult book, because she's
00:04:48
only eight years old and she reads at a fourth grade level,
00:04:51
third grade level you can send us a DM or whatever and I can
00:04:55
send you the Google form and we can get you, you know, vetted
00:05:00
and all that kind of stuff.
00:05:01
So enough about that, because we are not here for that.
00:05:06
We are here for crayons and contests.
00:05:10
And I'm pretty choked up because I have to say, lizzie,
00:05:19
you outdid yourself with your video.
00:05:21
I loved it.

never know what you're going to get.
00:09:09
I mean, I thought I was going to have to draw a couple and put
00:09:13
them under fake names because we weren't getting anybody in
00:09:16
the first year.
00:09:16
We did it, but I ended up not having to do that because we got

So, before we reveal the winner , what were some of the?
00:09:26
What were your, like, top favorites?

Speaker 3: Oh, I thought we were going to look at each one of
00:09:30
them one at a time.
00:09:36
Speaker 2: We're going to not do that because we didn't do that
00:09:39
right, so Okay.
00:09:45
Speaker 3: Well, you know, every one of those pictures was a
00:09:54
standout for different reasons.
00:09:57
When I look at I've got the list right here and you know, I
00:10:02
just want to talk about each one of them a little bit, because
00:10:06
every one of them just blew me away.
00:10:10
They all stand so got so strongly on their own merit.
00:10:19
Each one of them is perfection.
00:10:21
Alex W.
00:10:23
Speaker 2: I think I might be able to do that.
00:10:25
Hold on one second.
00:10:26
Let me just say Okay, I'm sorry folks For the listening on the
00:10:30
podcast.
00:10:31
I know you're probably like, oh no, what is he doing now?
00:10:33
What is he doing the entire screen?
00:10:37
No, we're going to try.
00:10:41
But yeah, why don't you start, and then we'll.
00:10:47
Speaker 3: So Alex W, His picture was of the discovery of
00:10:53
the talismans and it's Boyd's point of view.
00:10:57
Oh wow, look at that.
00:10:59
Speaker 2: I know right Okay so here we go.
00:11:03
Speaker 3: It's Boyd's point of view, when he first went out
00:11:09
into the woods and he was sheltering for the night.
00:11:12
And he's in this little shelter and inside the shelter are all
00:11:18
these talismans, and what he realizes is that the talismans
00:11:23
keep the monsters away.
00:11:25
So you know, looking at this, it just brings you right back.
00:11:31
I mean, look at the color of the talismans, with the wall and
00:11:36
the green.
00:11:37
I just love that picture.

00:12:33
Speaker 3: Look to kill like yeah, like any moment I'm like
00:12:36

00:12:41
that moment of you know.
00:12:43
How can that?
00:12:44
I can't remember his name, but how can that guy you know be so
00:12:49
beguiled by this?
00:12:51
Speaker 2: creature, because he's a boy and he's an idiot.
00:12:54
Speaker 3: Probably, I don't know.
00:12:55
I just you know, I like you know, that they're deadly.
00:13:01
And yet he couldn't help himself, and I love that picture
00:13:05
now we have just an R.
00:13:07
Yeah, this one just made me want to cry when I saw it
00:13:11
Because it was such a sweet moment.
00:13:14
You know, the first time we see Jade playing the Violin, we're
00:13:21
like is the actor playing?
00:13:23
Speaker 2: like, is he actually playing that, or well, I do have
00:13:26
some insight on that.
00:13:27
I do have some insight on that.
00:13:28
I'm gonna talk to somebody close to him and he actually
00:13:34
Does play the violin and that actually was him.
00:13:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
00:13:39
And then you know when he was playing.
00:13:42
You know twinkle, twinkle.
00:13:44
You know Victor didn't even remember the true name of the
00:13:49
song right.
00:13:50
Jade.
00:13:51
Jade knew what he was talking.
00:13:53
Speaker 2: I know that's Twinkle song.
00:13:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, and to play that and have Victor Set back
00:14:01
into Remembering his mom and how that was such a comfort for him
00:14:06
.
00:14:06
It was one of the most beautiful scenes and
00:14:11
interactions in that show.
00:14:13
Speaker 2: This picture captures it Well it really does.
00:14:18
Speaker 3: You know, really does it's funny.
00:14:20
Speaker 2: They say a picture can say a thousand words, but a
00:14:23
song can bring you back to, to a place as well, as we see, yeah,
00:14:28
in that episode and it brought us, you know, like just seeing
00:14:31
the notes coming off the violin.
00:14:33
Speaker 3: It just brings us right back there, like I, I
00:14:36
could feel that.
00:14:37
And then this I mean, look at this picture we've got, oh my
00:14:44
gosh, we've got Fatima, elgin and Ellis making a break for it,
00:14:48
after Elgin, not Elgin, after Ellis has been stabbed, and this
00:14:55
is coming out a colony house and trying to get them Into the
00:14:58
van and you see the two monsters that are coming up from, you
00:15:03
know, by the trees there.
00:15:04
And I loved it, like the action in this picture is just right
00:15:09
there.
00:15:09
I love, love, love this picture so great.
00:15:15
Speaker 2: Then we're gonna go to one of my favorites here, oh
00:15:18
the bottle tree.
00:15:21
Speaker 3: And we've got again Victor with the lunchbox he's
00:15:25
now wearing it on the rope and we've got oh my gosh Tabitha.
00:15:33
Speaker 2: Katrina.
00:15:34
Speaker 3: Katrina, not even her names Catalina.
00:15:37
Speaker 2: I know, that's what I mean.
00:15:38
Speaker 3: I'm like but I love this because it embodies what we
00:15:44
were talking about, like simple lines, you know, and these
00:15:48
simple lines, just they, they show this scene so well and and
00:15:54
it's just wonderful.
00:15:56
Speaker 2: What I just want to tell the people that are
00:15:57
listening to the podcast.
00:15:58
On the YouTube channel, we're actually showing all of these
00:16:02
pictures, so if you do want to see either yours or anybody
00:16:06
else's, please check out the YouTube video and please like it
00:16:11
and share it if you're in the from group, because I just think
00:16:15
it's worth it to to show off All these great works of art,
00:16:19
because when we started this, it was like people were so scared
00:16:24
I Can't draw.
00:16:25
Well, yeah, I can't draw either , but that doesn't mean you
00:16:29
still can't make something beautiful.
00:16:31
Speaker 3: That's the whole thing it part of it is.
00:16:33
That's the whole point of it is .
00:16:35
You don't have to be able to draw like.
00:16:40
Everyone can do something.
00:16:41
You know and I Don't know.
00:16:45
Let's see the, the way.
00:16:49
Of which one is it the?
00:16:51
I'm looking?
00:16:52
Oh, portal Nathan.
00:16:53
I don't know his artistic ability, but what I do know is
00:16:58
that he's got an eye and he's got a way of expressing it.
00:17:02
So we know exactly what's going on in that picture and it's
00:17:06
great, it's fabulous and this one is from penny L, I think.
00:17:11
Speaker 2: I think she's one of our other podcast hosts here on
00:17:16
podcastica and this is what probably the happiest at from we
00:17:22
can get you know the wedding.
00:17:24
Speaker 3: Goodness, the wedding was so amazing and and their,
00:17:28
their room.
00:17:29
Speaker 2: Really, they've made it into a Sanctuary, away from
00:17:34
from, from the minute you walk in.
00:17:37
You know, from the first episode of when Fatima talks to
00:17:44
Julie Julie, I was gonna say Hannah, julie about you know,
00:17:48
what I love about this is you can look on this guy and
00:17:51
Anything is possible.
00:17:52
You know, you just look at the stars and all the monsters go
00:17:56
away and and there's just something to be said for having
00:18:00
that happy place.
00:18:01
I mean, I know people spend millions, thousands of dollars
00:18:05
on their, on their bedroom to make it that sanctuary and you
00:18:09
know I'm Hoping these two can survive through the seasons.
00:18:13
But you know, right now it's, it's a great moment and we were
00:18:18
all rooting for it, and what else can you say?
00:18:22
I?
00:18:23
Speaker 3: Can say I love it.
00:18:25
Speaker 2: That's pretty much.
00:18:26
It, that's pretty much.
00:18:28
Speaker 3: I was so thrilled that there was that someone did
00:18:34
do the wedding.
00:18:34
I was so thrilled when I saw that and it's just you know.
00:18:39
Speaker 2: Thank you, penny, for doing that so the next one is
00:18:45
the box, the ballerina in the box, and this is from Jessica E
00:18:49
and I love it because I love the simplicity and the colors that.
00:18:55
Speaker 3: You know the box is the scary thing and you know,
00:18:59
here it is, it's a black box.
00:19:00
She's got it as a black box and the ballerina is not in color
00:19:06
and mostly what we get with the Ballerina is that she's an
00:19:10
outline.
00:19:11
You know that is just shaded and I love her flowy hair out
00:19:16
behind her and I Love that she.
00:19:21
Speaker 2: She did the broken leg.
00:19:22
She did the broken leg, which was really kind of neat.
00:19:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the leg is broken and it's when Boyd sees
00:19:30
it and it's sitting on a rock and it you know.
00:19:34
You know exactly where it's coming from.
00:19:37
It's just amazing.
00:19:39
A really really great entry.
00:19:43
Speaker 2: Alright, and this one is the ballerina worms.
00:19:48
Speaker 3: This was terrifying.
00:19:51
Speaker 2: How do you say her first name?
00:19:52
Emeline okay, I just wanted to make sure yeah, I mean this is
00:19:57
without a doubt, one of my favorite is the scariest?
00:20:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is Scariest, and you know what it?
00:20:05
Speaker 2: was like almost Medusa, but in the mouth.
00:20:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it reminded me of the kiss from the last of
00:20:11
us when yes.
00:20:13
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:20:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the fungus comes out of the guy's mouth
00:20:17
and it's like a French kiss with Tess it was.
00:20:21
I mean, even when it happened on the show, I was like, oh wow,
00:20:24
you know those writers were thinking the same thing, but
00:20:28
it's so like this is.
00:20:30
This is the scariest one, this is the scary.
00:20:35
Speaker 2: It was such a.
00:20:35
It was such a great scene.
00:20:37
Yeah because it was just like everything was so cool,
00:20:41
everything was so beautiful and yeah, and you know she nails it
00:20:47
with the picture.
00:20:47
I mean, I don't even know if it looks like the woman or not.
00:20:50
I, you know, right now I can't it doesn't even matter.
00:20:52
Speaker 3: That's what the woman .
00:20:53
Speaker 2: That's what I mean.
00:20:54
That's my point is that, you know, artistically it may not be
00:20:59
an exact replica, but but it's an, the epic, the essence of it
00:21:05
is there and that's all that matters.
00:21:07
Speaker 3: And you know, what one thing I love about this are
00:21:10
the, the, the Hatch marks for the hair and the eyebrows.
00:21:15
Like the detail on the fake, like I just Love it.
00:21:20
Speaker 2: I, I Hope, I hope she ranks high in this, because I
00:21:24
ended up voting because of the fact that I.
00:21:29
Speaker 3: Don't think we can't vote.
00:21:31
Speaker 2: Well, you know we can't reason why I didn't vote
00:21:33
yeah we can't.
00:21:34
Speaker 3: well, I mean, it's not fair, you know like no, no I
00:21:37
yeah, it's just got to be so all of these are independent
00:21:41
votes from it Melanie yes this is, oh, this is the boy in white
00:21:49
in the beginning.
00:21:50
Oh God, that's scary.
00:21:51
I know like, yeah and what.
00:21:57
The reason why I think she chose this is because this was
00:22:03
part of the evolution of Victor at.
00:22:06
You know, toward the end of this season, when we find out,
00:22:09
we get a better picture as to what happened prior to this
00:22:15
scene.
00:22:18
Speaker 2: This looks really Victor.
00:22:20
Yeah, is no.
00:22:21
Victor could have drawn this.
00:22:22
Yeah, and again, this is no.
00:22:24
This is no.
00:22:25
So late on her.
00:22:26
It's not again.
00:22:28
This isn't the greatest picture in terms of like it's not like
00:22:32
a oil masterpiece, but it's perfect for what we're doing and
00:22:36
that's what I love.
00:22:37
Speaker 3: It's utter perfection .
00:22:38
I mean, look at the I don't know what that ride is actually
00:22:42
called.
00:22:43
Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of like a merry-go-round.
00:22:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of like a merry-go-round type thing
00:22:48
, but you know, I love the dead body that's laying there and I
00:22:52
think there's, yeah, there's like another one that's up
00:22:55
against the house and Like we still don't quite get what the
00:23:01
purpose was of the boy in white.
00:23:04
You know, like why he's waving at Victor.
00:23:09
Speaker 2: Was this a good thing or is it a bad thing that this
00:23:12
kid shows up and and Going back to the show and please, I'd love
00:23:17
to get your comments in the in the pod for the podcast
00:23:22
Listeners.
00:23:23
Is the boy in white good or bad ?
00:23:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't.
00:23:27
I don't even know.
00:23:28
Speaker 2: Because White usually is purity and whatever, but he
00:23:33
pushed Tabitha out the window and then she's somewhere else.
00:23:36
We don't know where she is.
00:23:37
So there is a lot of questions and, for those of you that are
00:23:43
gonna ask, we have no idea when season three is gonna come out.
00:23:49
They have not written it.
00:23:50
If they have written it, they can't do anything about it.
00:23:54
The actors aren't there yet At the time of this podcast, in
00:23:59
August of 2023,.
00:24:01
Speaker 3: We have no idea and they don't either, and the thing
00:24:04
about it is that sag actors are striking In Canada.
00:24:13
Their union is called ACTRA ACTRA, and they are not striking
00:24:20
.
00:24:20
It's the AMPTP that sag is striking against.
00:24:27
And what between sag and the writers?
00:24:32
That's why I'm not working.
00:24:33
And so what happens is film production could go on in Canada
00:24:41
, as long as they're not using any of the WGA writers.
00:24:45
They're not using any sag actors, so they can there's and
00:24:51
that's said, but there are at least two sag actors maybe three
00:25:00
or more, I'm not sure.
00:25:04
But that can't film, they can't work right now.
00:25:08
Speaker 2: Right, and they did have stuff in the can.
00:25:13
I know Angela Moore, who plays the bus driver.
00:25:17
She's released some stuff that was approved by the powers that
00:25:23
be.
00:25:23
I think Elizabeth Saunders has released stuff.
00:25:26
I know Victor Scott has a huge movie that he's promoting.
00:25:32
That's under he's not promoting , that's the thing, and I think
00:25:37
that's the thing.
00:25:38
I think that's the thing that's under-.
00:25:41
Speaker 3: He's not promoting.
00:25:42
That's the thing.
00:25:43
Well, what I mean by it just came out.
00:25:45
Speaker 2: It came out, but it was under, it was before the
00:25:48
strike.
00:25:49
Speaker 3: So he posted he posted.
00:25:51
Speaker 2: He posted.
00:25:51
That's what I meant.
00:25:52
He did post about it.
00:25:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't think that he can because,
00:25:56
basically, once the strike happened for sag, you cannot
00:26:01
promote anything that has to do with AMPTP.
00:26:04
So if he posted something, it could be that that project is
00:26:10
not part of the AMPTP.
00:26:11
Speaker 2: That's what it was, and he said that, and he said
00:26:14
that it wasn't part of it.
00:26:16
Speaker 3: That's where it has to be clear, Because they could
00:26:23
be kicked out of the union for something.
00:26:25
No, absolutely absolutely or recluded from ever joining, so
00:26:30
you have to understand what the difference is.
00:26:32
So, for instance, this problem is gonna come up later when we
00:26:38
talk about it, because MGM plus is part of the AMPTP, and we'll
00:26:45
get to that after we've finished with all the pictures, but-.
00:26:49
Speaker 2: But my point being was, Lizzie, that there are
00:26:54
projects but they're not under the strike thing Umbrella, and
00:26:59
that's what.
00:27:00
I couldn't think of the right word.
00:27:01
But yeah, that was my point that you know, for those of you
00:27:06
that wanna support the people that we love, if they are
00:27:14
promoting something it's not under that umbrella and you
00:27:19
should try to do your best to support as much as you can.
00:27:22
So, that being said, let's keep going, and this is a really fun
00:27:26
scene.
00:27:26
This was a scene that we probably would have never had if
00:27:32
Scotty didn't do such a great job in the first season.
00:27:34
Yeah, you know, we've got his little hideaway with the canned
00:27:39
goods and we've got- the stale cookies.
00:27:44
Speaker 3: Yeah the stale cookies, the stale cookies.
00:27:46
So I love this because I have drawn grass like that.
00:27:52
But there's just so much movement in this picture you can
00:27:57
tell like the grass is blowing, and we know from watching it.
00:28:02
And this is after spending the night in that truck and all of
00:28:09
them heading off to someplace different.
00:28:12
You know once they're out of that truck, and so we've got
00:28:17
Boyd, elgin and Tabitha getting out of there.
00:28:22
I don't know where Victor is in that picture, but maybe he's
00:28:29
still in the truck, but it doesn't matter, it's just so
00:28:33
good.
00:28:34
Speaker 2: All right, now we've got and this this the boy in
00:28:39
white.
00:28:39
Is he good or bad?
00:28:43
Speaker 3: This surprised us.
00:28:45
The push.
00:28:49
Speaker 2: And you know something else, surprise yeah,
00:28:53
yeah, and I love it.
00:28:55
Everybody's like.
00:28:56
You know, if everybody's like, oh, this is such a no easy show
00:29:00
to figure out, no, it's not Pushed out the window, but the
00:29:04
boy and he's like, sorry Bye.
00:29:07
Speaker 3: He's like I'm sorry, but you know this is the way, or
00:29:11
whatever he says.
00:29:12
But you know, I love this picture because you can see the
00:29:18
surprise and the fear on Tabitha's face and her arms are
00:29:22
raised and he's like getting ready to push her out and and oh
00:29:28
, so scary.
00:29:30
It was such a great picture.
00:29:31
I love it, love it, love it.
00:29:34
Speaker 2: I love that face that she makes.
00:29:35
Yeah, yeah, really great face that you put on.
00:29:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not all of them, isn't it?
00:29:41
Oh, that went so fast.
00:29:44
I know so we had 11 entries.
00:29:52
Speaker 2: Yes, we did, and.
00:29:54
Speaker 3: They were all so amazing.
00:29:56
So, to talk about prizes, what we had arranged for, just as a
00:30:06
jumping off point, was that we were going to have Crayon
00:30:11
pictures drawn by Scott and, I believe, alaya who plays the
00:30:17
young Victor right, Eli yeah okay.
00:30:20
So the problem was Scott was working on a project, so he
00:30:24
didn't have as much time as he needed to get to it, and I am
00:30:30
not sure if he finished up his project just in the nick of time
00:30:34
or if the project was not finished.
00:30:38
But we went, or SAG went on strike right when we were
00:30:45
Getting to the point thing, everything.
00:30:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, and folks, it's , we're trying.
00:30:50
I mean, I'm of the opinion.
00:30:53
I want to support you guys as much as I can in terms of you
00:30:59
know, we had this whole plan for when the show was off that we
00:31:02
were gonna do, and it kind of put a wrench in our thing.
00:31:06
But I have to tell you we're gonna keep moving on, we're
00:31:10
gonna keep giving, continuing the conversation, and you know
00:31:14
we're gonna try to follow whatever the right thing to do
00:31:18
is.
00:31:18
Yeah, that's the right way to say it.
00:31:20
Are you ready, my dear?
00:31:24
Speaker 3: No, I don't want this to be over, but I understand,
00:31:30
and the winners the winners up for second place, our MLINE and
00:31:39
Alex.
00:31:39
Hey, yes, not you, alex, but MLINE and Alex.
00:31:48
And Our winner is Justin.
00:31:55
Speaker 2: Justin I I.
00:32:01
Speaker 3: Loved every picture.
00:32:04
Right, I loved every single one .
00:32:06
I mean, I feel like I want to Make a calendar or something
00:32:11
with all those pictures.
00:32:12
It would just be amazing to do that, you know.
00:32:21
Speaker 2: Cuz I I mean, yeah, that would be kind of cool.
00:32:23
And what I'm gonna also do is I'm gonna try to change up the
00:32:32
the Some of our social media to represent the new pictures,
00:32:38
because if you guys go on to our YouTube channel, the banner is
00:32:43
all the posters and in our intro the banners are in there as
00:32:46
well.
00:32:47
So we have even more Wonderful things that I can change out the
00:32:51
slides and add to it.
00:32:53
I should say, not really change them out, but I think that you
00:32:58
know all the this year it's.
00:33:00
It was.
00:33:01
It was tough because you could have had five different winners
00:33:04
and everybody would have been happy.
00:33:05
Speaker 3: I wanted I If, if I was working, I'd be like you
00:33:11
know what?
00:33:11
We are sending everybody something.
00:33:13
I don't care because you know they were all amazing, like
00:33:20
every one of those pictures gave me an emotional response and
00:33:24
they all had meeting, they all had me.
00:33:26
Yeah, and Through a conversation that I had this
00:33:32
week About the pictures, what I have learned is that they will
00:33:39
be hanging in the production office of the show when they
00:33:43
return.
00:33:43
What yeah, oh.
00:33:48
Speaker 2: Cool.
00:33:49
So, even if you're not getting a prize from us, just like think
00:33:54
about that, like your, your picture is going to be seen and,
00:34:00
and we have talked to a couple of the Production people and
00:34:05
they know how hard you guys are working and they know how
00:34:12
passionate this fan base is.
00:34:13
I know we've been working really hard, but that's not what
00:34:20
it's about.
00:34:20
The reason why we're working hard is because the fans have
00:34:24
been driving this, and they might not be millions upon
00:34:27
millions upon the zillions of fans, but they're mighty and
00:34:33
that's why they coined the frames fromly.
00:34:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just love this show.
00:34:38
I really hate that we don't have a new episode.
00:34:42
Justin, this is your prize.
00:34:43
This is as promised, because we actually had it.
00:34:49
Wow, it's empty.
00:34:52
It won't be empty when you get it, it'll have a mug, it'll have
00:34:56
everything, yeah it'll have a mug and a talisman and whatever
00:35:00
else is in there.
00:35:01
Speaker 2: And if you want some, you can put some bile in there.
00:35:04
If we'll get a little bottle of bile, that you know Yellow bile
00:35:07
.
00:35:08
We'll get a small yellow of Smiley's bile that we'll put in
00:35:12
there just in case, and a couple of crackers so that when the
00:35:16
boy in white pushes you into the IV room of a place that you
00:35:19
don't know, you got something to eat.
00:35:21
For the other winners, what we're gonna do, we're gonna they
00:35:26
get to pick a shirt or a mug or a bracelet and, off of our
00:35:32
website, just let us know the size and whatever else and we'll
00:35:36
get that out to you and folks.
00:35:39
I wanna thank everybody for participating this year and
00:35:44
hopefully I think we're gonna have a worse problem, because
00:35:46
we're gonna get triple the amount of pictures, which is
00:35:50
always a great problem.
00:35:51
Speaker 3: That is not a problem .
00:35:53
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say the reason why I say it's a problem.
00:35:55
It's gonna be even harder to find a winner because they're
00:35:59
all winners.
00:36:01
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it will be hard.
00:36:02
I mean, it was hard this time, it was hard the first time, like
00:36:06
I don't know, and I'll have to be more creative with the video.
00:36:11
Speaker 2: But I gotta tell you you killed it this time.
00:36:13
Speaker 3: But I was just like.
00:36:16
I was ruminating on it for a bit and then you know, when all
00:36:21
of a sudden an idea just comes to you and you're just like, oh
00:36:24
well, this is it.
00:36:25
And I'm like where was this idea?
00:36:27
Speaker 2: I know right.
00:36:28
Speaker 3: I was waiting for it.
00:36:29
So, yeah, I loved it too.
00:36:32
I was really surprised.
00:36:34
I was surprised that the words matched up as much as they did.
00:36:38
Judy Dench, I wasn't trying to do that.
00:36:42
Speaker 2: I will probably get yelled at from Judy Dench, but-.
00:36:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, I put words in the mouth.
00:36:47
Speaker 2: Well, any final words , miss the Queen of From.
00:36:52
Speaker 3: I miss it so much yeah.
00:36:55
Speaker 2: I know.
00:36:55
Speaker 3: I miss.
00:36:56
And the weird thing is you and I barely talk.
00:37:00
Speaker 2: I know well, you've been busy, I've been busy, and-.
00:37:03
Speaker 3: I haven't been that busy.
00:37:05
Speaker 2: Well, I've been kind of busy but-.
00:37:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've been-.
00:37:07
Speaker 2: It's kind of weird.
00:37:08
It's like you know, I had my from life and then I had my life
00:37:11
and yeah, but it's all good.
00:37:15
And on that wonderful note, we'll have our favorite bell
00:37:20
ringer.
00:37:20
I guess we should get out of here.
00:37:22
Speaker 1: We'll see you guys soon.
00:37:24
Speaker 2: Bye.
00:37:24
Get you home, let's go, come on .

00:01:03
Speaker 3: That's third world yeah whatever.
00:01:06
Speaker 2: I'm not a Florida fan , but at the same time, we have
00:01:10
got a show for you.
00:01:12
You know Sunday might be from day, but Sunday is also awards
00:01:17

00:01:23
of weeks, months, whatever.
00:01:25
You know.
00:01:25
A little thing kind of got in the way, but you know what.
00:01:29
That's not going to stop us from doing what we do, which is
00:01:33
talk about from, and you know I love this particular episode
00:01:38
more than anybody any of them, because this year we got a bunch
00:01:42
of great.
00:01:43
Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness.
00:01:44
Speaker 2: And these responses.
00:01:46
Folks are just out of this world.
00:01:49
I mean, we may not know what's in this world, but they are out
00:01:53
of this world and you know first off what you've been up to.
00:02:05
Speaker 3: I don't know and that's our show.
00:02:06
Yeah, sometimes it feels like a whole lot of nothing.
00:02:10
Um, working in the film industry my industry has stopped
00:02:15
because of the two strikes, that's.
00:02:18
That's it Like, just stand still, nothing's going on.
00:02:23
And so what I've been doing is one of my little side jobs and
00:02:30
then doing some writing.
00:02:33
I went to Tampa Bay Comic Con to sell my book.
00:02:37
There we go, and you know it was a great time, did the best
00:02:44
I'd ever done, so that's a great thing.
00:02:47
I don't know.
00:02:49
Resting that's awesome, got some health things going on, so you
00:02:55
know.
00:02:55
Speaker 2: Well, hopefully everything is good.
00:02:58
Like you, I've been kind of laying low and doing stuff,
00:03:03
working hard in my real job, and my daughter decided.
00:03:07
She said to me the other day, daddy, I want a podcast with you
00:03:12
.
00:03:12
And I'm like what do you want a podcast on?
00:03:15
Because she's eight.
00:03:15
So we developed the Daddy daughter book worms and you can
00:03:23
check it out.
00:03:24
It'll be in the show notes.
00:03:26
Um, and what we do is we talk about kids books.
00:03:33
Speaker 3: I love it.
00:03:34
I love it so much.
00:03:37
Speaker 2: And you know, folks, if you're into, if you love a
00:03:43
good children's book, it's great .
00:03:47
If you just want a good break from life, it's 10 minutes out
00:03:52
of your day.
00:03:53
Listen to my daughter and me be like an idiot and you know
00:04:00
we're.
00:04:00
We've got our first, first Patreon already.
00:04:06
Yeah so and and folks.
00:04:08
You know it's kind of a labor of love for me because I get to
00:04:13
work with my daughter.
00:04:14
I've ended up spending like a $5 on equipment because we
00:04:18
have to podcast in front of each other.
00:04:20
But you know, oh well, and you know who knows, maybe I'll even
00:04:25
get this lady next to me on the show.
00:04:27
Down the road we'll say but it's a lot of fun, you lady.
00:04:32
Speaker 3: What ladies next to you?
00:04:36
Speaker 2: The one that's right next to me that actually writes.
00:04:39
So if you are an aspiring children's writer and you do
00:04:43
have a book a children's book, not a adult book, because she's
00:04:48
only eight years old and she reads at a fourth grade level,
00:04:51
third grade level you can send us a DM or whatever and I can
00:04:55
send you the Google form and we can get you, you know, vetted
00:05:00
and all that kind of stuff.
00:05:01
So enough about that, because we are not here for that.
00:05:06
We are here for crayons and contests.
00:05:10
And I'm pretty choked up because I have to say, lizzie,
00:05:19

thank everybody, because when we start doing this, you know you
00:09:08
never know what you're going to get.
00:09:09
I mean, I thought I was going to have to draw a couple and put
00:09:13
them under fake names because we weren't getting anybody in
00:09:16
the first year.
00:09:16
We did it, but I ended up not having to do that because we got
00:09:19
such awesome, awesome, awesome things.

So, before we reveal the winner , what were some of the?
00:09:26
What were your, like, top favorites?
00:09:28
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought we were going to look at each one of
00:09:30
them one at a time.
00:09:36
Speaker 2: We're going to not do that because we didn't do that
00:09:39
right, so Okay.
00:09:45
Speaker 3: Well, you know, every one of those pictures was a
00:09:54
standout for different reasons.
00:09:57
When I look at I've got the list right here and you know, I
00:10:02
just want to talk about each one of them a little bit, because
00:10:06
every one of them just blew me away.
00:10:10
They all stand so got so strongly on their own merit.
00:10:19
Each one of them is perfection.
00:10:21
Alex W.
00:10:23
Speaker 2: I think I might be able to do that.
00:10:25
Hold on one second.
00:10:26
Let me just say Okay, I'm sorry folks For the listening on the
00:10:30
podcast.
00:10:31
I know you're probably like, oh no, what is he doing now?
00:10:33
What is he doing the entire screen?
00:10:37
No, we're going to try.
00:10:41
But yeah, why don't you start, and then we'll.
00:10:47
Speaker 3: So Alex W, His picture was of the discovery of
00:10:53
the talismans and it's Boyd's point of view.
00:10:57
Oh wow, look at that.
00:10:59
Speaker 2: I know right Okay so here we go.
00:11:03
Speaker 3: It's Boyd's point of view, when he first went out
00:11:09
into the woods and he was sheltering for the night.
00:11:12
And he's in this little shelter and inside the shelter are all
00:11:18
these talismans, and what he realizes is that the talismans
00:11:23
keep the monsters away.
00:11:25
So you know, looking at this, it just brings you right back.
00:11:31
I mean, look at the color of the talismans, with the wall and
00:11:36
the green.
00:11:37
I just love that picture.
00:11:40
I love it.

She's just so down to earth and you know real, and I've really
00:12:30

Speaker 2: She looks like she's Got that.
00:12:33
Speaker 3: Look to kill like yeah, like any moment I'm like
00:12:36
whoa, but anyways, when I saw this, it put me right back in
00:12:41
that moment of you know.
00:12:43
How can that?
00:12:44
I can't remember his name, but how can that guy you know be so
00:12:49
beguiled by this?
00:12:51
Speaker 2: creature, because he's a boy and he's an idiot.
00:12:54
Speaker 3: Probably, I don't know.
00:12:55
I just you know, I like you know, that they're deadly.
00:13:01
And yet he couldn't help himself, and I love that picture
00:13:05
now we have just an R.
00:13:07
Yeah, this one just made me want to cry when I saw it
00:13:11
Because it was such a sweet moment.
00:13:14
You know, the first time we see Jade playing the Violin, we're
00:13:21
like is the actor playing?
00:13:23
Speaker 2: like, is he actually playing that, or well, I do have
00:13:26
some insight on that.
00:13:27
I do have some insight on that.
00:13:28
I'm gonna talk to somebody close to him and he actually
00:13:34
Does play the violin and that actually was him.
00:13:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
00:13:39
And then you know when he was playing.
00:13:42
You know twinkle, twinkle.
00:13:44
You know Victor didn't even remember the true name of the
00:13:49
song right.
00:13:50
Jade.
00:13:51
Jade knew what he was talking.
00:13:53
Speaker 2: I know that's Twinkle song.
00:13:55
Speaker 3: Yeah, and to play that and have Victor Set back
00:14:01
into Remembering his mom and how that was such a comfort for him
00:14:06
.
00:14:06
It was one of the most beautiful scenes and
00:14:11
interactions in that show.
00:14:13
Speaker 2: This picture captures it Well it really does.
00:14:18
Speaker 3: You know, really does it's funny.
00:14:20
Speaker 2: They say a picture can say a thousand words, but a
00:14:23
song can bring you back to, to a place as well, as we see, yeah,
00:14:28
in that episode and it brought us, you know, like just seeing
00:14:31
the notes coming off the violin.
00:14:33
Speaker 3: It just brings us right back there, like I, I
00:14:36
could feel that.
00:14:37
And then this I mean, look at this picture we've got, oh my
00:14:44
gosh, we've got Fatima, elgin and Ellis making a break for it,
00:14:48
after Elgin, not Elgin, after Ellis has been stabbed, and this
00:14:55
is coming out a colony house and trying to get them Into the
00:14:58
van and you see the two monsters that are coming up from, you
00:15:03
know, by the trees there.
00:15:04
And I loved it, like the action in this picture is just right
00:15:09
there.
00:15:09
I love, love, love this picture so great.
00:15:15
Speaker 2: Then we're gonna go to one of my favorites here, oh
00:15:18
the bottle tree.
00:15:21
Speaker 3: And we've got again Victor with the lunchbox he's
00:15:25
now wearing it on the rope and we've got oh my gosh Tabitha.
00:15:33
Speaker 2: Katrina.
00:15:34
Speaker 3: Katrina, not even her names Catalina.
00:15:37
Speaker 2: I know, that's what I mean.
00:15:38
Speaker 3: I'm like but I love this because it embodies what we
00:15:44
were talking about, like simple lines, you know, and these
00:15:48
simple lines, just they, they show this scene so well and and
00:15:54
it's just wonderful.
00:15:56
Speaker 2: What I just want to tell the people that are
00:15:57
listening to the podcast.
00:15:58
On the YouTube channel, we're actually showing all of these
00:16:02
pictures, so if you do want to see either yours or anybody
00:16:06
else's, please check out the YouTube video and please like it
00:16:11
and share it if you're in the from group, because I just think
00:16:15
it's worth it to to show off All these great works of art,
00:16:19
because when we started this, it was like people were so scared
00:16:24
I Can't draw.
00:16:25
Well, yeah, I can't draw either , but that doesn't mean you
00:16:29
still can't make something beautiful.
00:16:31
Speaker 3: That's the whole thing it part of it is.
00:16:33
That's the whole point of it is .
00:16:35
You don't have to be able to draw like.
00:16:40
Everyone can do something.
00:16:41
You know and I Don't know.
00:16:45
Let's see the, the way.
00:16:49
Of which one is it the?
00:16:51
I'm looking?
00:16:52
Oh, portal Nathan.
00:16:53
I don't know his artistic ability, but what I do know is
00:16:58
that he's got an eye and he's got a way of expressing it.
00:17:02
So we know exactly what's going on in that picture and it's
00:17:06
great, it's fabulous and this one is from penny L, I think.
00:17:11
Speaker 2: I think she's one of our other podcast hosts here on
00:17:16
podcastica and this is what probably the happiest at from we
00:17:22
can get you know the wedding.
00:17:24
Speaker 3: Goodness, the wedding was so amazing and and their,
00:17:28
their room.
00:17:29
Speaker 2: Really, they've made it into a Sanctuary, away from
00:17:34
from, from the minute you walk in.
00:17:37
You know, from the first episode of when Fatima talks to
00:17:44
Julie Julie, I was gonna say Hannah, julie about you know,
00:17:48
what I love about this is you can look on this guy and
00:17:51
Anything is possible.
00:17:52
You know, you just look at the stars and all the monsters go
00:17:56
away and and there's just something to be said for having
00:18:00
that happy place.
00:18:01
I mean, I know people spend millions, thousands of dollars
00:18:05
on their, on their bedroom to make it that sanctuary and you
00:18:09
know I'm Hoping these two can survive through the seasons.
00:18:13
But you know, right now it's, it's a great moment and we were
00:18:18
all rooting for it, and what else can you say?
00:18:22
I?
00:18:23
Speaker 3: Can say I love it.
00:18:25
Speaker 2: That's pretty much.
00:18:26
It, that's pretty much.
00:18:28
Speaker 3: I was so thrilled that there was that someone did
00:18:34
do the wedding.
00:18:34
I was so thrilled when I saw that and it's just you know.
00:18:39
Speaker 2: Thank you, penny, for doing that so the next one is
00:18:45
the box, the ballerina in the box, and this is from Jessica E
00:18:49
and I love it because I love the simplicity and the colors that.
00:18:55
Speaker 3: You know the box is the scary thing and you know,
00:18:59
here it is, it's a black box.
00:19:00
She's got it as a black box and the ballerina is not in color
00:19:06
and mostly what we get with the Ballerina is that she's an
00:19:10
outline.
00:19:11
You know that is just shaded and I love her flowy hair out
00:19:16
behind her and I Love that she.
00:19:21
Speaker 2: She did the broken leg.
00:19:22
She did the broken leg, which was really kind of neat.
00:19:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the leg is broken and it's when Boyd sees
00:19:30
it and it's sitting on a rock and it you know.
00:19:34
You know exactly where it's coming from.
00:19:37
It's just amazing.
00:19:39
A really really great entry.
00:19:43
Speaker 2: Alright, and this one is the ballerina worms.
00:19:48
Speaker 3: This was terrifying.
00:19:51
Speaker 2: How do you say her first name?
00:19:52
Emeline okay, I just wanted to make sure yeah, I mean this is
00:19:57
without a doubt, one of my favorite is the scariest?
00:20:01
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is Scariest, and you know what it?
00:20:05
Speaker 2: was like almost Medusa, but in the mouth.
00:20:08
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it reminded me of the kiss from the last of
00:20:11
us when yes.
00:20:13
Speaker 2: Yes.
00:20:14
Speaker 3: Yeah, like the fungus comes out of the guy's mouth
00:20:17
and it's like a French kiss with Tess it was.
00:20:21
I mean, even when it happened on the show, I was like, oh wow,
00:20:24
you know those writers were thinking the same thing, but
00:20:28
it's so like this is.
00:20:30
This is the scariest one, this is the scary.
00:20:35
Speaker 2: It was such a.
00:20:35
It was such a great scene.
00:20:37
Yeah because it was just like everything was so cool,
00:20:41
everything was so beautiful and yeah, and you know she nails it
00:20:47
with the picture.
00:20:47
I mean, I don't even know if it looks like the woman or not.
00:20:50
I, you know, right now I can't it doesn't even matter.
00:20:52
Speaker 3: That's what the woman .
00:20:53
Speaker 2: That's what I mean.
00:20:54
That's my point is that, you know, artistically it may not be
00:20:59
an exact replica, but but it's an, the epic, the essence of it
00:21:05
is there and that's all that matters.
00:21:07
Speaker 3: And you know, what one thing I love about this are
00:21:10
the, the, the Hatch marks for the hair and the eyebrows.
00:21:15
Like the detail on the fake, like I just Love it.
00:21:20
Speaker 2: I, I Hope, I hope she ranks high in this, because I
00:21:24
ended up voting because of the fact that I.
00:21:29
Speaker 3: Don't think we can't vote.
00:21:31
Speaker 2: Well, you know we can't reason why I didn't vote
00:21:33
yeah we can't.
00:21:34
Speaker 3: well, I mean, it's not fair, you know like no, no I
00:21:37
yeah, it's just got to be so all of these are independent
00:21:41
votes from it Melanie yes this is, oh, this is the boy in white
00:21:49
in the beginning.
00:21:50
Oh God, that's scary.
00:21:51
I know like, yeah and what.
00:21:57
The reason why I think she chose this is because this was
00:22:03
part of the evolution of Victor at.
00:22:06
You know, toward the end of this season, when we find out,
00:22:09
we get a better picture as to what happened prior to this
00:22:15
scene.
00:22:18
Speaker 2: This looks really Victor.
00:22:20
Yeah, is no.
00:22:21
Victor could have drawn this.
00:22:22
Yeah, and again, this is no.
00:22:24
This is no.
00:22:25
So late on her.
00:22:26
It's not again.
00:22:28
This isn't the greatest picture in terms of like it's not like
00:22:32
a oil masterpiece, but it's perfect for what we're doing and
00:22:36
that's what I love.
00:22:37
Speaker 3: It's utter perfection .
00:22:38
I mean, look at the I don't know what that ride is actually
00:22:42
called.
00:22:43
Speaker 2: Well, it's kind of like a merry-go-round.
00:22:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's kind of like a merry-go-round type thing
00:22:48
, but you know, I love the dead body that's laying there and I
00:22:52
think there's, yeah, there's like another one that's up
00:22:55
against the house and Like we still don't quite get what the
00:23:01
purpose was of the boy in white.
00:23:04
You know, like why he's waving at Victor.
00:23:09
Speaker 2: Was this a good thing or is it a bad thing that this
00:23:12
kid shows up and and Going back to the show and please, I'd love
00:23:17
to get your comments in the in the pod for the podcast
00:23:22
Listeners.
00:23:23
Is the boy in white good or bad ?
00:23:26
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't.
00:23:27
I don't even know.
00:23:28
Speaker 2: Because White usually is purity and whatever, but he
00:23:33
pushed Tabitha out the window and then she's somewhere else.
00:23:36
We don't know where she is.
00:23:37
So there is a lot of questions and, for those of you that are
00:23:43
gonna ask, we have no idea when season three is gonna come out.
00:23:49
They have not written it.
00:23:50
If they have written it, they can't do anything about it.
00:23:54
The actors aren't there yet At the time of this podcast, in
00:23:59
August of 2023,.
00:24:01
Speaker 3: We have no idea and they don't either, and the thing
00:24:04
about it is that sag actors are striking In Canada.
00:24:13
Their union is called ACTRA ACTRA, and they are not striking
00:24:20
.
00:24:20
It's the AMPTP that sag is striking against.
00:24:27
And what between sag and the writers?
00:24:32
That's why I'm not working.
00:24:33
And so what happens is film production could go on in Canada
00:24:41
, as long as they're not using any of the WGA writers.
00:24:45
They're not using any sag actors, so they can there's and
00:24:51
that's said, but there are at least two sag actors maybe three
00:25:00
or more, I'm not sure.
00:25:04
But that can't film, they can't work right now.
00:25:08
Speaker 2: Right, and they did have stuff in the can.
00:25:13
I know Angela Moore, who plays the bus driver.
00:25:17
She's released some stuff that was approved by the powers that
00:25:23
be.
00:25:23
I think Elizabeth Saunders has released stuff.
00:25:26
I know Victor Scott has a huge movie that he's promoting.
00:25:32
That's under he's not promoting , that's the thing, and I think
00:25:37
that's the thing.
00:25:38
I think that's the thing that's under-.
00:25:41
Speaker 3: He's not promoting.
00:25:42
That's the thing.
00:25:43
Well, what I mean by it just came out.
00:25:45
Speaker 2: It came out, but it was under, it was before the
00:25:48
strike.
00:25:49
Speaker 3: So he posted he posted.
00:25:51
Speaker 2: He posted.
00:25:51
That's what I meant.
00:25:52
He did post about it.
00:25:54
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I don't think that he can because,
00:25:56
basically, once the strike happened for sag, you cannot
00:26:01
promote anything that has to do with AMPTP.
00:26:04
So if he posted something, it could be that that project is
00:26:10
not part of the AMPTP.
00:26:11
Speaker 2: That's what it was, and he said that, and he said
00:26:14
that it wasn't part of it.
00:26:16
Speaker 3: That's where it has to be clear, Because they could
00:26:23
be kicked out of the union for something.
00:26:25
No, absolutely absolutely or recluded from ever joining, so
00:26:30
you have to understand what the difference is.
00:26:32
So, for instance, this problem is gonna come up later when we
00:26:38
talk about it, because MGM plus is part of the AMPTP, and we'll
00:26:45
get to that after we've finished with all the pictures, but-.
00:26:49
Speaker 2: But my point being was, Lizzie, that there are
00:26:54
projects but they're not under the strike thing Umbrella, and
00:26:59
that's what.
00:27:00
I couldn't think of the right word.
00:27:01
But yeah, that was my point that you know, for those of you
00:27:06
that wanna support the people that we love, if they are
00:27:14
promoting something it's not under that umbrella and you
00:27:19
should try to do your best to support as much as you can.
00:27:22
So, that being said, let's keep going, and this is a really fun
00:27:26
scene.
00:27:26
This was a scene that we probably would have never had if
00:27:32
Scotty didn't do such a great job in the first season.
00:27:34
Yeah, you know, we've got his little hideaway with the canned
00:27:39
goods and we've got- the stale cookies.
00:27:44
Speaker 3: Yeah the stale cookies, the stale cookies.
00:27:46
So I love this because I have drawn grass like that.
00:27:52
But there's just so much movement in this picture you can
00:27:57
tell like the grass is blowing, and we know from watching it.
00:28:02
And this is after spending the night in that truck and all of
00:28:09
them heading off to someplace different.
00:28:12
You know once they're out of that truck, and so we've got
00:28:17
Boyd, elgin and Tabitha getting out of there.
00:28:22
I don't know where Victor is in that picture, but maybe he's
00:28:29
still in the truck, but it doesn't matter, it's just so
00:28:33
good.
00:28:34
Speaker 2: All right, now we've got and this this the boy in
00:28:39
white.
00:28:39
Is he good or bad?
00:28:43
Speaker 3: This surprised us.
00:28:45
The push.
00:28:49
Speaker 2: And you know something else, surprise yeah,
00:28:53
yeah, and I love it.
00:28:55
Everybody's like.
00:28:56
You know, if everybody's like, oh, this is such a no easy show
00:29:00
to figure out, no, it's not Pushed out the window, but the
00:29:04
boy and he's like, sorry Bye.
00:29:07
Speaker 3: He's like I'm sorry, but you know this is the way, or
00:29:11
whatever he says.
00:29:12
But you know, I love this picture because you can see the
00:29:18
surprise and the fear on Tabitha's face and her arms are
00:29:22
raised and he's like getting ready to push her out and and oh
00:29:28
, so scary.
00:29:30
It was such a great picture.
00:29:31
I love it, love it, love it.
00:29:34
Speaker 2: I love that face that she makes.
00:29:35
Yeah, yeah, really great face that you put on.
00:29:38
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not all of them, isn't it?
00:29:41
Oh, that went so fast.
00:29:44
I know so we had 11 entries.
00:29:52
Speaker 2: Yes, we did, and.
00:29:54
Speaker 3: They were all so amazing.
00:29:56
So, to talk about prizes, what we had arranged for, just as a
00:30:06
jumping off point, was that we were going to have Crayon
00:30:11
pictures drawn by Scott and, I believe, alaya who plays the
00:30:17
young Victor right, Eli yeah okay.
00:30:20
So the problem was Scott was working on a project, so he
00:30:24
didn't have as much time as he needed to get to it, and I am
00:30:30
not sure if he finished up his project just in the nick of time
00:30:34
or if the project was not finished.
00:30:38
But we went, or SAG went on strike right when we were
00:30:45
Getting to the point thing, everything.
00:30:47
Speaker 2: Yeah, and folks, it's , we're trying.
00:30:50
I mean, I'm of the opinion.
00:30:53
I want to support you guys as much as I can in terms of you
00:30:59
know, we had this whole plan for when the show was off that we
00:31:02
were gonna do, and it kind of put a wrench in our thing.
00:31:06
But I have to tell you we're gonna keep moving on, we're
00:31:10
gonna keep giving, continuing the conversation, and you know
00:31:14
we're gonna try to follow whatever the right thing to do
00:31:18
is.
00:31:18
Yeah, that's the right way to say it.
00:31:20
Are you ready, my dear?
00:31:24
Speaker 3: No, I don't want this to be over, but I understand,
00:31:30
and the winners the winners up for second place, our MLINE and
00:31:39
Alex.
00:31:39
Hey, yes, not you, alex, but MLINE and Alex.
00:31:48
And Our winner is Justin.
00:31:55
Speaker 2: Justin I I.
00:32:01
Speaker 3: Loved every picture.
00:32:04
Right, I loved every single one .
00:32:06
I mean, I feel like I want to Make a calendar or something
00:32:11
with all those pictures.
00:32:12
It would just be amazing to do that, you know.
00:32:21
Speaker 2: Cuz I I mean, yeah, that would be kind of cool.
00:32:23
And what I'm gonna also do is I'm gonna try to change up the
00:32:32
the Some of our social media to represent the new pictures,
00:32:38
because if you guys go on to our YouTube channel, the banner is
00:32:43
all the posters and in our intro the banners are in there as
00:32:46
well.
00:32:47
So we have even more Wonderful things that I can change out the
00:32:51
slides and add to it.
00:32:53
I should say, not really change them out, but I think that you
00:32:58
know all the this year it's.
00:33:00
It was.
00:33:01
It was tough because you could have had five different winners
00:33:04
and everybody would have been happy.
00:33:05
Speaker 3: I wanted I If, if I was working, I'd be like you
00:33:11
know what?
00:33:11
We are sending everybody something.
00:33:13
I don't care because you know they were all amazing, like
00:33:20
every one of those pictures gave me an emotional response and
00:33:24
they all had meeting, they all had me.
00:33:26
Yeah, and Through a conversation that I had this
00:33:32
week About the pictures, what I have learned is that they will
00:33:39
be hanging in the production office of the show when they
00:33:43
return.
00:33:43
What yeah, oh.
00:33:48
Speaker 2: Cool.
00:33:49
So, even if you're not getting a prize from us, just like think
00:33:54
about that, like your, your picture is going to be seen and,
00:34:00
and we have talked to a couple of the Production people and
00:34:05
they know how hard you guys are working and they know how
00:34:12
passionate this fan base is.
00:34:13
I know we've been working really hard, but that's not what
00:34:20
it's about.
00:34:20
The reason why we're working hard is because the fans have
00:34:24
been driving this, and they might not be millions upon
00:34:27
millions upon the zillions of fans, but they're mighty and
00:34:33
that's why they coined the frames fromly.
00:34:37
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just love this show.
00:34:38
I really hate that we don't have a new episode.
00:34:42
Justin, this is your prize.
00:34:43
This is as promised, because we actually had it.
00:34:49
Wow, it's empty.
00:34:52
It won't be empty when you get it, it'll have a mug, it'll have
00:34:56
everything, yeah it'll have a mug and a talisman and whatever
00:35:00
else is in there.
00:35:01
Speaker 2: And if you want some, you can put some bile in there.
00:35:04
If we'll get a little bottle of bile, that you know Yellow bile
00:35:07
.
00:35:08
We'll get a small yellow of Smiley's bile that we'll put in
00:35:12
there just in case, and a couple of crackers so that when the
00:35:16
boy in white pushes you into the IV room of a place that you
00:35:19
don't know, you got something to eat.
00:35:21
For the other winners, what we're gonna do, we're gonna they
00:35:26
get to pick a shirt or a mug or a bracelet and, off of our
00:35:32
website, just let us know the size and whatever else and we'll
00:35:36
get that out to you and folks.
00:35:39
I wanna thank everybody for participating this year and
00:35:44
hopefully I think we're gonna have a worse problem, because
00:35:46
we're gonna get triple the amount of pictures, which is
00:35:50
always a great problem.
00:35:51
Speaker 3: That is not a problem .
00:35:53
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say the reason why I say it's a problem.
00:35:55
It's gonna be even harder to find a winner because they're
00:35:59
all winners.
00:36:01
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, it will be hard.
00:36:02
I mean, it was hard this time, it was hard the first time, like
00:36:06
I don't know, and I'll have to be more creative with the video.
00:36:11
Speaker 2: But I gotta tell you you killed it this time.
00:36:13
Speaker 3: But I was just like.
00:36:16
I was ruminating on it for a bit and then you know, when all
00:36:21
of a sudden an idea just comes to you and you're just like, oh
00:36:24
well, this is it.
00:36:25
And I'm like where was this idea?
00:36:27
Speaker 2: I know right.
00:36:28
Speaker 3: I was waiting for it.
00:36:29
So, yeah, I loved it too.
00:36:32
I was really surprised.
00:36:34
I was surprised that the words matched up as much as they did.
00:36:38
Judy Dench, I wasn't trying to do that.
00:36:42
Speaker 2: I will probably get yelled at from Judy Dench, but-.
00:36:45
Speaker 3: Yeah, I put words in the mouth.
00:36:47
Speaker 2: Well, any final words , miss the Queen of From.
00:36:52
Speaker 3: I miss it so much yeah.
00:36:55
Speaker 2: I know.
00:36:55
Speaker 3: I miss.
00:36:56
And the weird thing is you and I barely talk.
00:37:00
Speaker 2: I know well, you've been busy, I've been busy, and-.
00:37:03
Speaker 3: I haven't been that busy.
00:37:05
Speaker 2: Well, I've been kind of busy but-.
00:37:06
Speaker 3: Yeah, you've been-.
00:37:07
Speaker 2: It's kind of weird.
00:37:08
It's like you know, I had my from life and then I had my life
00:37:11
and yeah, but it's all good.
00:37:15
And on that wonderful note, we'll have our favorite bell
00:37:20
ringer.
00:37:20
I guess we should get out of here.
00:37:22
Speaker 1: We'll see you guys soon.
00:37:24
Speaker 2: Bye.
00:37:24
Get you home, let's go, come on .
00:37:28
Get in your house, let's go, come on.
