Speaker 5:That's one of them. You need to do the audio book.
Speaker 6:in that voice I just realized too that it's not that hard to do an audio book. Yeah, I was looking at that stuff and I was like, oh my god, I don't need to pay anyone. I could actually just use an audio Dude.
Speaker 5:you can do it per character too. Oh my god. Man. It'd be like listening to an old school radio show where they had voice actors.
Speaker 6:That would be so cool.
Speaker 3:Wow Mother birthed into the world pure of heart, but the heart blackens as the soul becomes corrupt. Let mother guide you back into the light. Mother is waiting.
Speaker 2:Mother is waiting.
Speaker 5:I'm expect to jump scare like crazy right there. That's not quiet. That gives me goosebumps.
Speaker 4:He's done a good job with it.
Speaker 6:This is when someone puts their hand on your shoulder just at that one moment.
Speaker 2:Mother is coming for you.
Speaker 6:You know what, funny enough, I'm not doing any of that. That's somebody else that joined that love cast. I don't know if you've seen her or him. I mean, yeah, he does all this stuff and he was just like I'm just going to do it, didn't ask for anything, just thought the project was cool and he's just been making all this stuff. Some of the AI art I do, but he makes it better. It's really cool. That's not what you need. You need people in the community that actually want to help build, because obviously I wouldn't have half the talent this guy has.
Speaker 5:I want to know what he's using for the AI generation of voices.
Speaker 6:He gave me a link actually, so I can send it to you. I think he put it in our little group. Just look back and see.
Speaker 2:There's a little group, got a little group.
Speaker 5:There's a little group.
Speaker 6:It's called the mother ship.
Speaker 2:The mother ship.
Speaker 5:Yeah, it's on that thing where all the sketchy stuff happens. It's called telegram.
Speaker 2:Oh, that's the thing I joined.
Speaker 6:But there's also a side group for the admins and stuff that we've been adding.
Speaker 2:I dropped a link and everybody's like is it safe.
Speaker 6:Everyone always says that it's like STDs. Oh, so how's the book coming along? What are we talking about? Yeah, it's awesome. I didn't come here.
Speaker 1:I'm going to come back to the shill Edward. We're going to keep trying. Hey, Mike, man, I hope you've been caught up on the reading. It sounds like we might have just a couple of us that are fully caught up. How are you on the chapters, my friend?
Speaker 7:I might have read too far if you guys only went to 500, because I went like 75 pages.
Speaker 1:Nice, okay, so you're caught up, then that's good. Spoiler alert.
Speaker 7:Yeah, I just have some spoilers.
Speaker 1:Amazing. We'll definitely come back to you for some help with some summaries.
Speaker 6:Now I got to ask, though, mike man, how are you feeling about this book? Because I know you said you're not into this style before. You like the whole complexity, but I know you said you're not into this kind of style of horror. How are you feeling about it? Now? No one that you're almost finished.
Speaker 7:I still like it. I've enjoyed reading it. It's not my typical style and it's not a book that I think I would pick up a whole bunch to reread it often, but I do like it and I think the story is well written and weaves through different plot lines very well. Yeah, I'm pretty happy with it. Honestly, I would recommend it to other people.
Speaker 6:That's awesome. Do you have a favorite character? Because we've asked this before, but I always like asking who's? Their favorite character.
Speaker 7:It was kind of Caleb in the beginning and I don't know that I have really a favorite at this point. They all have pros and cons going, so I don't know that I have one that's really taken the lead over the others, just because it bounces around so much from one to the other that I don't feel like he hit. I don't know, I just feel like I get a strong loyalty to one or the other. I'm just moving on to the next story thread.
Speaker 6:So you don't like when you see someone's name come up or like their little subplots, you don't feel like, okay, I'm excited to see what's happening here.
Speaker 7:I'm just intrigued by all of their journeys and I don't want to say too much because I don't want to spoil it much further ahead, but some of the stuff that's happening with some of the characters that I didn't really see coming at this point I'm kind of rooting for Caleb. I was always rooting for Caleb to get out of this thing alive, but I don't know if he will or not.
Speaker 4:Everybody dies.
Speaker 7:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Now, my man, you're definitely caught up with Justin coming back into the story, correct You've?
Speaker 7:got to be Okay. Yeah, I couldn't remember where he came back in. I didn't want to give that away if people hadn't been there yet.
Speaker 1:I got right to page 500 and the last chapter that I read was Sophia, but we just barely learned that Justin is alive. Edward, did you hear that?
Speaker 4:Did.
Speaker 1:I call that one, or what Justin's, alive. I knew it and I. You said everyone dies.
Speaker 3:I remember last time we said that.
Speaker 2:I said that there's gonna be, people that come back Stop it.
Speaker 4:I said there's a possibility that he's playing that whole card where some people get revived.
Speaker 6:Go listen to the space.
Speaker 4:Go listen to the space. Who said it?
Speaker 6:Who said that they die? Who said everyone dies?
Speaker 1:Hey, I was hoping for a redemption arc and it already is kicking in. He's already experiencing guilt and thinking differently now that he has his newfound immortality, and I need some questions answered. I'm confused on the whole doctrine of the ritual. It sounds like it might not even need to be done. Right, it used to be a peaceful place. They started killing kids to feed mother, but according to someone they're like this doesn't really need to be done. So I have some questions about the whole ritual. And am I just getting tricked again? I guess I got confused to the very high level. Summary overview perspective of like. Are people actually coming back to life or is this another trick? Mightman, were you pretty clear on what was going on as Justin back? Is that true he?
Speaker 7:healed. Yeah, I think he is. It definitely seems that way.
Speaker 4:So there was a tidbit of information in one of the chapters that I just read I think I'm at like 380 or whatever, but it was through with the fact that mother's blood has regenerative properties and as long as the brain is intact, it can revive somebody. So someone like Laylin who hit that stone and crushed your skull, she's not revivable because her head is completely obliterated. But in someone like Justin's instance, where he's basically been emulated, he can basically come back, as long as they give him the blood at some point and I don't know the whole immortality aspect of it, but I think maybe Zeke wasn't able to because there was too much damage to his head too. I don't know or maybe nobody tried to revive him with it. In that essence, so yeah.
Speaker 4:What.
Speaker 6:He did have a nail in his head, so no bueno.
Speaker 4:So then, not possible. But with someone like you know, I'm not at that point where Justin gets emulated, but I think I'm using that word right. But he's not dead per se, unless his brain was fried, he's just, you know, charred to a crisp and able to be resurrected. Maybe that's the case.
Speaker 6:So how far did you get past?
Speaker 4:part two no, no, I'm on like 380. So 440 is part two, the end of part two.
Speaker 6:Okay, or whatever.
Speaker 4:Yeah, or part three.
Speaker 6:Did you see the or read about the explosion and?
Speaker 4:stuff. No, no. No, you guys talked about that last time, but so I know that kind of just of.
Speaker 6:He came out in charge and a ball of flame and screaming and stuff. So he was technically still alive.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 6:And then I don't really well, I don't know who else read it, but then he's being injected with mother Not ingested but actually injected. So he's got hooked up to a blood vial. That's called, I think it's. Did I name it M positive? I can't remember it was M positive or M negative, but it's M blood type. I can't remember which one I used.
Speaker 4:Yeah, the one issue that I would have I should have. You know, obviously I'm behind with the one issue I had with Claire's chapter that went through all the days. It went through all the details of kind of the how mother works and all that stuff. It felt more like it should have been an Anna chapter than a Claire chapter because it was mostly talking from Anna's perspective and her thoughts and her like mindset or whatever. It wasn't so much focused from the perspective of Claire until like the end, maybe in the beginning as well, but a lot of it was going through Anna's thoughts. So it just didn't feel like it was a Claire chapter to me.
Speaker 6:Yeah, some of the chapters. I kind of did that like I'll separate a little bit, but you know, probably more so an accident when I did that.
Speaker 4:It's just shitting right here. You know crappy writing.
Speaker 6:Pretty much just doesn't know what he's doing, yeah.
Speaker 1:Now I need to clarify some things. It sounds like Caleb has some healing powers going on. When I finished reading he was strapped to a gurney, naked, about to be taken to be the sacrificial lamb, and he was like thinking fast on his feet or he might have had a luni in his head. But he was like didn't we already do the ritual? And Anna was like what, what did you say? Maybe you're not pure, but anyways, he tries to escape, kind of falls over, breaks, his wrists and his hands all mangled and cut up, and then like minutes later he looks and his hand is getting better, and so I wasn't fully given all of the information where I left off if he is healing or not, but it certainly was alluding to the idea that he is and so that's something new. I want to make sure that that's what I heard, what I read, and, if that's true, edward might man. Is that? Am I on the right page?
Speaker 7:Yeah, that's right, he was healing.
Speaker 6:Well, do we not forget the whole chapter that you guys made fun of me about.
Speaker 1:So is that, was it sexually transmitted? Or has he been getting injected? Yeah, like what Right?
Speaker 2:In her course.
Speaker 6:He was given the blood at the end of that chapter were.
Speaker 1:Oh, that's right.
Speaker 6:Okay, okay, you're right Okay so, yeah, that wasn't a dream.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, that was pretty gnarly, bro, the whole experience of falling and him breaking his bones and like having to pull it out and like that was really. I've had broken bones and pretty deep cuts and like it's really startling. And to like walk yourself through that step by step takes some super like mind control and pain tolerance. And I was having a hard time. I was getting a little queasy Just just thinking about the wrist and the bones in the hand and how painful it was. Like you've really done a great job of like helping us experience different levels of pain. I think I've really I know that sounds weird, but I've enjoyed that that how you've been able to, yeah, make things pretty painful and gnarly and gruesome.
Speaker 1:I had another question. We read, Okay, we read about what was my question? I'll come back. I'll come back to me because I had one more question. Damn it, I lost it. My man, do you have any? Any thoughts? And even if you have some spoilers, don't be, don't be too careful, I guess, because I'd like to know some answers and maybe that'll help me and answer the questions I had.
Speaker 7:Um, yeah, I mean I'm intrigued by Justin's storyline, with him coming back and he's definitely in a better place mentally. So I assume Mother's Blood helped with his mental processes because he almost seems like he's more enlightened than he was before. He's kind of taken the next step. He's not hearing the serpent or what you know. It's not really a serpent, obviously. It was like Sparky pretty much called it the voice of these here in his head. Don't give him any more credit anyway. So, yeah, so like he doesn't really have the desire to kill Caleb anymore either or to blindly be in love with Morgan. So that's super interesting.
Speaker 7:And the part I was at Morgan and Sophia and I don't remember the other one they were all heading down towards Mother. They were scared and wouldn't go any further, so they left. But no, I'm intrigued to find out more about, you know, mother's Blood and what else it does for them, because I'm not sure we've seen everything yet. And Caleb's kind of in a sticky situation with where he's at, because he's in the middle of the ritual room where everything happens, and dressed up like them and trying not to get caught, but he can't bring himself to leave either. So I'm curious to see what goes down there.
Speaker 6:I think you might be a bit further now. I don't know. Did that happen for you, Panna? Yeah, that's further?
Speaker 1:I probably am. Yeah, that sounds a little bit further. For sure, I did have a question and I remembered it Claire, she is with what's the brother's name? Big boy with a, b, I think Boris. Yeah, he was hinting at Claire like being his sister, where we told is Claire Luna or is Claire the missing twin from way back?
Speaker 4:I mean, did I not say that?
Speaker 1:Yeah, but I'm not sure if that's what I read.
Speaker 7:It wasn't revealed.
Speaker 1:It wasn't revealed fully, but were they hinting at it?
Speaker 7:I don't know. I don't think anything's come out majorly that really strongly hinted at it yet that I remember. But they do. At the end of her scene the one does come to her and says Mother is ready to see you now or whatever. So she's on her way to doing whatever Mother has for her next. So I think we'll get more.
Speaker 1:but there wasn't a whole lot of Claire to where I read, yeah, so Okay, there was also another passage where someone was trying to figure out who Luna was and they were asking, yeah, like three girls.
Speaker 1:Tell me oh, that was Caleb, right? Oh man, it's all. I'm mixing some of the details. But yeah, according to that chapter, they weren't really sure who Luna was. They thought it was Anna for a while because she was wearing the mask every now and then. But yeah, I like that. That kind of helped me feel better, because I was still questioning myself, like, who is Luna? Is it Claire? Do we know in the story? And then that chapter happened and I was like, oh okay, and we don't know for sure according to the book quite yet if that's truth or not. Is that right, edward? And it might be tough because we're all in different places.
Speaker 6:Yeah, I don't think anything's established yet. Who's Luna? Hold on, let me get the crickets.
Speaker 4:It's probably Sophia.
Speaker 7:It's not Sophia. Well, unless she doesn't know it yet.
Speaker 4:I mean, claire doesn't know it yet either, so yeah, Maybe they are all Luna.
Speaker 1:Dave Boyle, have you been reading and did you get the copy that I left at the house?
Speaker 8:Yes and yes, thank you. I'm so glad to have Edward's signed book so awesome, got it on my desk and sweet epic memento.
Speaker 6:I'm glad you got it. Has everyone got theirs?
Speaker 1:I need to reach out to a couple of you and I also have a couple of people that didn't get me addresses, so I might have a couple to give away in the future. I need to do some accounting and I'll reach out to a couple of you to get addresses. So, yeah, we might have a couple more giveaway books, though, because a couple people maybe didn't want to give me an address and they went quiet on me Giveaway winners, so that means more for others. But, dave, where did you leave off? Where are you?
Speaker 8:at. I'm quite a ways behind just trying to chip away at this great book. I've just been so busy. It's such an imaginative book I mean it's different than your first one, edward. This one seems more layered with characters. So far I'm not terribly far. I'm into the 100-ish pages, so I'm way behind. So no worries, what you guys say won't faze me. It won't spoil things because I'll forget by the time I catch up. I've just been so busy with we recently moved out of, completely out of our office at work and that and other things with the busy life kind of like Sparky hinted at earlier, it's just been a busy time. I haven't had as much time to read lately. I hear you on that, sparky.
Speaker 4:Yeah, it's frustrating when that happens, right?
Speaker 8:Oh yeah, heck, yes, it is.
Speaker 1:Well, we're just happy to have you here, Dave, Are you yeah?
Speaker 8:I'm just happy to be here.
Speaker 1:I know you think a lot in terms of video as well. I've been editing a wedding video and I've seen good in color and lighting and all of it and that came to you mostly. Do you think about this book being turned into video content or a show, and what kind of response on what kind of network you think people would like it in video?
Speaker 8:form.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 8:Yeah, I first think FX Network. For some reason although AMC might be a better landing spot, perhaps you know similar to Walking Dead and its fame on AMC. Yeah, I think AMC.
Speaker 1:Edward, have you ever thought about I know we've talked about that a little bit, but do you ever think about things visually like that?
Speaker 6:Oh yeah, I feel like when I write my books I'm visually picturing everything. I write down the details, picturing the scenarios, how they're happening and stuff. Usually when I'm writing I have that image in my brain burned and I just build the story around those images and stuff that I have. It's kind of cool to be able to put it on a page and for others people to see that as well. I do like that. I think it's kind of cool. But in terms of a series and stuff, I think Netflix could do a really good series if they ever got wind of it. Could it even be like a three-part or three-season show?
Speaker 4:I don't know about that. For Netflix, they seem to be shitting the bed on adaptations and ruining them, especially if you look at the Witcher and how the lead people on that were like no, we're not going to follow the source of the material at all. But is that Netflix, though? Or is that they're just that's Netflix? Netflix is hiring these people and not listening to Henry Cavill and that sort of stuff.
Speaker 6:Because what I thought it was how Netflix works is that they don't pitch shows. They just buy shows If they pay to have a show made, but they don't actually have a. Maybe that's not so much a say. I don't know, I could be wrong. From my understanding, I thought people made the shows and then they pitched them to different services, and different services would either take them or not.
Speaker 7:Am I wrong there? I think they've shifted. That was their plan and they still do that a lot. But I think things like the Witcher are things that they have either specifically bought to have a hand in it or it was actually developed Some part of them, so they have a much, much stronger hand in some of those adaptations, like Spikey's talking about. Witcher's definitely one of them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I think it would definitely appeal to different crowds and I think you've got some action in there and, as we all know, some NC17 scenes that will appeal to the those that read the romance novels. You had to give us one of those chapters. Are there any more of those coming up? Do we need to be warned on any more sexually explicit scenes? Edward?
Speaker 6:No, I think the only reason I mean the whole book, like I said, it's about birth and stuff. So obviously sex is important in that. The whole Caleb chapter and stuff was kind of important and obviously now if you're reading, Sophia may or may not be pregnant as well. So that's another kind of thing to think about too in the story. So I hope it really interests everyone. But those Sex was kind of important while writing this book because the tower it's like a penis, I don't know how. About the moon? It's all supposed to be sexual and to me evolution starts from birthing. So that was kind of the whole point of this novel, was kind of like it's all about evolution and growth.
Speaker 1:Now does the blood moon? Does that represent cycles for the women, or what would that?
Speaker 6:represent. Yeah, well, that's how I started to write it as yeah.
Speaker 1:Okay, and then transitioning into Sophia. I was curious on that. She's definitely not two weeks from her last cycle. She's for sure pregnant. She's got to be bro, because the only other thing that I can think of if she's late is that maybe she's had poor nutrition and poor hydration, and I know that can affect things, but she's not being that poorly treated. Is she in confinement? I know a few of them are right.
Speaker 6:Yeah, they're all down in confinement. They're all getting ready for the ritual. They're being prepped.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, and it for sure has got to be Caleb's if she is pregnant, right? I'm glad you brought this up because I had some questions on this.
Speaker 6:That is correct, yeah, and she's even talks about it too. So oh boy, oh boy.
Speaker 1:Oh boy, oh boy, yep, this is getting good. I was actually starting to, because I'm looking at it right now we are packing. If I'm eyeballing it, I guess it's about a quarter left of the book. And that's really crazy to me, bro, because this is a really big book. But it is flying by and I'm now thinking like, oh, we're on the latter half, like a lot could happen, but not really, like we don't have that much time left, like what's going to happen, it's going to be over soon, like I don't know.
Speaker 1:I always have that weird feeling at the beginning of the book. I'm like, oh man, this is going to take a while to read this book and you have like that timer inside of you, or like the race, like ready, set, go. And like when I was a kid I guess I had that feeling more and I still kind of carry it as an adult Like, oh, I'm going to rush through this. Like, oh, page 10, page 20, page 50. Yes, I don't know, I have that like okay, let's get it done, let's get it done.
Speaker 1:And then, as soon as it starts to get towards the latter half, I'm like, oh, it's coming to an end. I'm liking this book. I don't want it to end and I can't slow down so I can savor it more. I just start reading even faster towards the end of the book. But I do start to like get that future painful, saying goodbye feeling to a book, and I hate. I hate like a book ending but I also love it at the same time. It's definitely bittersweet, like do you have any thoughts on that or anybody?
Speaker 7:You're just all lucky, because it was really hard for me to decide to not finish the book over that long break. But I really just wanted to read to the end of it and finish it, but then I would have definitely been spoiling things. So Self-control one out on that one. So you guys are welcome.
Speaker 1:Yeah, no, that's hard for me to Not keep going and binging as well. How about you?
Speaker 6:Edward to me, though, might mean you kind of like we're painted decided not to have a space. We probably would have read up to that anyways. So it's really Lane's fault, so just blame it on you.
Speaker 1:My bad, my bad. All bring the beers.
Speaker 6:But oh man, I'm excited for you guys finish this book. It's been bitter, sweet I mean like geez, we've plowed through one book.
Speaker 1:Realm was finished, the other one yeah, I think we we did give, you know everybody a chance to catch up, but I Don't know. I'm I'm pretty okay with a healthy chunk of Content for this next round. I know my man certainly is also. I don't want to put everyone behind more, but, edward, what are you, what are you thinking For this next read?
Speaker 6:to be fair, we've given everyone plenty of time. I know it's you know, you know things happen, stuff. But like it's been two weeks, you know, since we We've read, like there's plenty of time for everyone to read. I think we should just keep pushing forward. It's unfortunate that people will have to read more, but at the same time, we can't keep waiting because we can't keep just having space. Like I'd like to get this book finished before Christmas so that we can move on to Finances. It'd be a good book to start the new year, I think so. I think we really need to push on and get this finished before Christmas, take a Christmas break off and then the new year, start finance books. Hey.
Speaker 1:I'm down for the challenge. Might man what? What's your, what's your capacity? Like a hundred page range? Is that too? Is that too much?
Speaker 7:Not on the longer break but Just going to Wednesday. I don't know that I could get a hundred in because I'll have practice and stuff tomorrow which I'm about have to jump off anyways. But Definitely over the longer period I could probably knock out a hundred pages.
Speaker 1:Did you see that, edward? I went, I went, big bro. What do you think, edward? What? What's your recommendation then, for small and big from here on out?
Speaker 6:Well, we have 300 Pages, I think 50 hundred, 50 hundred. We're done. Bing bang boom.
Speaker 1:Boom, that's crazy. I was thinking 50 hundred. I wasn't sure if the math would play out. That feels good.
Speaker 6:Yeah, it's even less than that. I think it's 277, though maybe even the last chapter we can probably knock out quicker, Okay so we've got a break at five 55.
Speaker 1:How's that is there?
Speaker 6:555?.
Speaker 1:There's a 555.
Speaker 6:Sure or white man is gonna have to wait even longer. I was gonna say I'm on 523 already, so Well, you're in fuck me three, so that's not bad them. Yeah all right, and that's not bad, is it? We said?
Speaker 1:Yeah, and if everyone else wants to kind of fast forward, if they feel like they're caught up on some of these events that we just spoke about honestly Lane.
Speaker 6:I think they need to read through it.
Speaker 1:Okay, okay.
Speaker 6:I wouldn't. I wouldn't skip anything, because I've tried to do that of book of already read and I'm like shit, what happened here? It's better just to read, I think yeah, okay, so that's your goal.
Speaker 1:555. I've got mine marked. I'm gonna be reading from 500 to 555 Edwards keeping, keeping us on our toes with this book with no chapter. So we're we're playing it by pages. If anyone is confused as to why we're doing you know specific pages, but I've. I've really enjoyed the, the style on this and how it jumps from character to character. We get a little bit of detail on what's happening and then we get a little bit more depending on whose chapter it is. I really like this style and I like how some chapters are really quick.
Speaker 1:Some oh, that was another thing, bro. The start of part three. You had some oh no, what was it? Part three? It started with, like, the story of the twins. We get like a glimpse into it happening. Right, I need to go back and read that, bro, because it was like I Don't know what I was doing at the time but I didn't soak it all up as well as I should have. But am I? Am I right about that? That first part of part three, we get a look into Diana and her sister, and I have a feeling that we're gonna continue to get more, but we haven't gotten many more details after just that first part, up until we got a little hint of maybe Claire, but what? What significance was that at the beginning of part three? Can you tell us?
Speaker 6:well, I Kind of like gave her watch like a TV series and it's like it's going through the show and then all of a sudden, the first part of an episode is like a Flashback.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I love that.
Speaker 6:I thought it would be really cool for part three to start off with a flashback and have Diana's character just be there. I thought it was just this cool concept, brought her, brought the character in to kind of see her life and stuff and what happened to her. I Just I don't know. I thought it was just really cool to do this like really interesting flashback and the kind of have like a segue into Morgan's chapter, because Morgan's the one that meets her on top of the cliff. So it was kind of like okay, did Morgan push her sister off the cliff? Because if you read through the others parts, they're all like what happened to you know Diana? They thought she was lost, they don't know what happened to her. So they have this kind of like part where Morgan's on the cliff with her and her seeing, maybe mother in the ocean. I just I thought that was just this really cool way to create the story.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like that. I For some reason the flashbacks I thought I've lost. That was the first example that came to my head, but I mean, that's that's like something that's used in a lot, of, a lot of good content, a lot of good shows, movies, what, what's maybe an example off the top of your head that you really like using that example, or is that too like specific? There's so many, huh.
Speaker 6:I'm trying to think now, but I Can't really think honestly. You know what one? I guess newest one. That was kind of cool. Have you ever watched the Reacher TV show? Oh, Is that good.
Speaker 1:Oh, I love that. Have we spoken about that show? I feel like someone told me about that. Season two's coming. I love that Maybe it was you, dave. Were you telling me about that show?
Speaker 8:Possibly season one. It was amazing. Season twos out soon, it's coming.
Speaker 6:It's great, yeah, and they, they did. I think some of the episodes did that, like where there was like a flashback at the start of the episode and it was just about them being kids and stuff from his brother. This is brother plays important role where he dies in the book, in the TV show, so they can constantly goes back and thinks about his brother. So that's one. There's, there's so many, there's um, there's one show that I really really liked. I Don't really want to say it yet until we finish it, because as I was writing the book, I was watching the show as well and I was coming up with some cool ideas for it, and it's part of the reason why it changed the Ending of this book, part of the reason. So I don't want to, I don't want to explain it or say it yet, unless somebody's watching already, but we'll definitely talk about that afterwards. I.
Speaker 1:Like I like that you're really open and honest about what, what's inspiring some of your, some of your plot points and and details. Um, I know this is maybe too broad of a question, maybe even personal, but like, what do you think about the idea of like Nobody is truly creative? There's always like creativity borrowed from creativity borrowed from create. Like Inspired by, inspired by, inspired by back to the very beginning, which was who? That's being everything is a dog question, right.
Speaker 6:Everything is inspired. I mean, stephen King was inspired by um, edgar Allen Poe and HB Lovecraft. They were also inspired by Shakespeare, um, just, there's always inspiration and there's always ideas from the dawn of time, from writing, that people would come up with different ideas. So To me, it's not far fished to use other ideas from shows to make something your own, and I like the idea of like, paying a homage to, like what you're writing and what you're, and it just it adds more flavor to it. Like every book I write, I I'm inspired by a video game as well, like this one was inspired by Bloodborne, um, which was also inspired by HB Lovecraft and, like I said, he was inspired by Edgar Poe. So it's just, it's always this kind of like inspiration that drives creativity, you know.
Speaker 1:That's cool. That's a cool answer. I, I agree, and I think it's awesome to think about. And you know, we, we think about art and literature. But think about, you know, architecture and agriculture and just things that have been passed down and the creativity involved there. And you know, pruning Different specific plants or trees or like that's all really fun to think about, and how some cultures they didn't have a written language but they had languages through rugs and they, they kept track of their, their tribe stories through rugs or Don't know.
Speaker 2:What's that? Were they in web three?
Speaker 6:Yeah, they must have been in web three.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, rugs, yeah, yeah, exactly. Oh, might man? I didn't see your hand go ahead, my friend.
Speaker 7:Yeah, I was just kind of tell everybody good night before you guys get too far down the phil philosophy Gravitorial, but just wanted to say it was good to be back at book spaces and I look forward to Wednesday.
Speaker 6:I it's gonna have it finished, but by the time you get back I can feel it he's itching to read more.
Speaker 7:It's very possible. I don't like to stop once I started it, so.
Speaker 6:Man, I appreciate you coming every single time and before you go, definitely drop your wallet, your salado wallet to me. Okay, everyone here is gonna get some mother For being a part of the space, so drop your wallet. I've followed everyone here. Yeah, send me a message and I'll uh, send you guys some mother so you can all be part of the keepers.
Speaker 7:That thanks.
Speaker 1:Oh, do it, my man. He sent some to me and, honestly, edward, okay, now you have to tell us, because I'm gonna help Dave. I still need to help him get some. A soul wallet Uh, go over and help him pick up some sweets. Um, honestly, will you please? Just, I mean that's now. You have an excuse, bro. You're gonna gift people some of this token. Let's strategize a little bit. What's the best game plan on On, yeah, going forward with this. This is awesome, bro, and that's so cool of you to offer to gift. Uh, that you're just a good, good dude. I like you. I don't know I you're crazy, but I like you. You know what's that? Oh, uh, old school, I love that line.
Speaker 6:Um, yeah, I mean, when I made the coin, it started off as a joke. I was learning how to figure it all out because I was getting tired of being rugged as we've already discussed earlier and I thought why not make a project that you know is fully doxxed, um, by someone that like obviously has been in space a while and have some fun with it? But it blew up in like the first day like it went up to a hundred k in market cap. It was insane. Now it's it's went down 90%, like all coins do. But, um, it just inspired me to actually like do something. I met a couple of cool people that have been like making, like ai Art, and it's just been really cool. Dabs been helping, um, this love cat's been helping, and it's just been a lot of fun. Um, sparky's been uh, flipping out at bots and uh, it's kind of funny seeing Sparky why you want his dm Cracks me up, it's all the scammers I like.
Speaker 4:I like messing with them too.
Speaker 2:What about that one that came in the discord the other day? He was trying to scam you, but oh, okay, this is embarrassing.
Speaker 6:So this guy came in um Telling me that opened this link to an old wallet I had, and and there's a lot of money in there For an airdrop. So it went in Afterwards. I was like, all right, whatever, I'll check it out. This wallet has nothing in any ways. If they scam me, they're taking about three dollars, I don't really care. Uh, I ended up getting 1700 dollars Um, in, like that Python coin or whatever it was, piff, piff, yeah. And then I found another airdrop that had six thousand dollars worth of bog. I was just like holy crazy.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you're welcome.
Speaker 6:So, yeah, I ended up using a lot of those funds to help, uh, with the project, and yeah, that's awesome, that's great bro. So it's like finding a 20 dollar in your wallet, that or in your like pocket that you didn't know about for months, right?
Speaker 1:Yeah, before, like as you're, as you're washing, you're doing your laundry and you're going through your pockets. Bro, that has never happened to me. I know it happens to everyone. Like on, I don't know. I just don't use cash so that I never get that experience. My buddy Joseph is always using cash and he's like oh man, I found a 50 this morning. I'm like what? The who loses track of a 50? I don't know, that's crazy.
Speaker 6:You did find the mother in your wallet.
Speaker 1:I mean yes, yes, okay. So if I've got some mother, I'm not selling shit, I'm not. I'm not selling, I want to. I want to strategically buy some mother. You know, I've never really been a part of uh A launch like this and getting an airdrop, and I always think about you know, uh Carrying at the next steps. I wouldn't want to go out and buy like a shit ton right now because people will probably Sell right if it jumps up a bunch like you want to know that that would happen, but at the same time you have to think you're buying it on a dip like it's down 90 percent.
Speaker 6:So you buying it now would be better than if it went up 30 percent and then you bought and then they dumped. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1:Would I. Would it be strategic to do little bits at?
Speaker 6:a time. Yeah, don't buy too much. Like if you're gonna buy by five dollars at a time I like that.
Speaker 1:I'll, dave and I are gonna. I'm gonna show him how to pick up some sweets and some mother. This is exciting bro.
Speaker 6:I'm gonna, I'm gonna give, I like to give David, you don't have to pay for it, I'll give. I got a lot of the coins. Still, I'm doing airdrops and stuff anyways to kind of Give everyone's mother's blessing and anyone that's bought the book. I want to give Mother as well, just because you know you did good kid. Also, I was going to bring mother onto the stage and we're actually looking into hiring someone to play mother and spaces. We've actually been like trying to reach out to a couple females in the crypto world to see if they'd be interested.
Speaker 6:But I got. I got to find someone that kind of fits the mood and if not, we'll just do AI. We might even like read the book with AI and different characters. I think it'd be so cool. They got a stick to character. Yeah, they have to stick to character. And that's like if you look at my space now, like if you look at, like, if you guys follow mother now and you leave your Address, which is probably the best way to do it I'll send everyone a little bit extra than what I have been sending.
Speaker 1:That's dope, bro. That's so creative and fun and.
Speaker 8:I'm really.
Speaker 1:I'm really impressed with daps Mid-journey skills. Him and I, we play around and I've been taking his images now, uh, and playing around with them doing some video and what do you think? Are you enjoying some of the, some of the different pieces that daps been tossing your way?
Speaker 6:I thought I was muted, I was reading something. Um, yeah, he's been doing a great job. Uh, I think at least a half of the stuff some of it's mine, um, but half of it I think is is daps, and it's just been cool. It's, it's made it so much more fun because we just got a bunch of people doing it. You know, and love cat's been making the animation ones, like dap did the really cool mother one, which was really cool, and we've we've darkened her so you can't see her. Oh, hold on, let me. Let me put it up. It's so freaking creepy. Hold on a second. I didn't want to come here and chill guys. I just wanted to read a book. Look what you got me doing.
Speaker 1:No, this is, I mean, you kidding me. This was all born out of your book on our book space, I mean it's certainly.
Speaker 5:I mean that's very.
Speaker 1:We're all part of it. We're. I've got some token. Chill away, bro. This is exciting. This is fun and honestly we'd have like when are we gonna have another author that is Participating in web three, like you are that, I mean it's. We have to have some fun.
Speaker 6:Sure, and it is going to be fun, like it's. It's all about just funds and memes and bringing like cosmic horror to crypto and I just I love the idea. But yeah, guys, listen to that clip above Creepiest thing I've ever heard and there's. There's more of them too. It's just they're so creepy and love cat does such a good job. I send them a ir and I use this is daps actually. So daps sent me the picture of him. We didn't want to show off mother because we thought it'd be cooler to kind just have a little bit of a darkening of mother and then, you know, you can hear all these noises and that's like mother speaking. It's so cool.
Speaker 1:That's great. Oh, man, well, you guys have to take advantage of that. So what are the steps? Go follow mother. I've got to follow mother.
Speaker 6:And I also. We were discussing it too. I was going to follow people back, but I thought it would be so much funnier if I just didn't, because we're her followers, you know we're like Exactly yeah, you have to keep that, you have to.
Speaker 1:That's impressive also to have a zero zero following number. That's, that's straight play.
Speaker 6:Nice work. Everyone's called the keepers that are in there. I kind of like I do messages just like Luna, calling everyone little one in child and stuff like that, Even like the influencers that they will post, like some of them will try to show me, I'll just literally run right which die soul to receive mother's blessing and I send these creepy videos back to them whenever they're like it's so funny.
Speaker 1:I really think the voice that what's the term, is it ASMR? Sound Really, really detailed sounds. You know how you're listening to her and you can hear like the mouth the sounds of the mouth Isn't that. Isn't that what it's called ASMR? I think so, bro. That's a nice spooky touch. That's creepy as hell.
Speaker 6:Did you see the video up there? Yeah, yeah, next time, like I'll send you, I'll send you a bunch of videos on the side where your headphones and listen to it Like it is bone chilling and we even have like a recording. I wonder if I can post the recording. We have a thing for raids. I don't know if I can post it here, but I can post it in the TG. So if you go into the telegram I don't know if you guys have telegram or not Do you have telegram Lane? Yeah, I got telegram and join it and you can be one of our admins just for fun, like you don't have to take it serious, but you can just be a part of mother and stuff and like I think it'd be really cool and you can hear he's got like a one minute recording about raiding and stuff and it's in mother's voice and it's so bone chilling.
Speaker 1:Instead of Kool-Aid at the events, can we use Mother's Blessing Prime hydration drink? I'm actually kind of a fan. I know that sounds so ridiculous, but they're pretty tasty beverages.
Speaker 6:Are you still Logan? Are you still Logan Bell's drink drinker?
Speaker 1:I feel like such a terrible human being, but they're delicious and I've purchased a few and I crave some of the flavors. Damn it, Logan Paul. What's happening here?
Speaker 6:And now he's in wrestling. It's funny watching him in wrestling.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, he's got a few rugs under his belt. I'll speak for the Web 3 community. That that's why I'm embarrassed. I don't want to support the guy, right? He's a bunch of people on Web 3. He's a Persian caretaker. Yeah, come on up, logan Paul, we'll take. Hey, I'll. I'll wrestle Logan Paul, I'll box Logan Paul, let's go.
Speaker 6:Oh my God, Are we hearing a pay-per-view? Uh, Lane Boyle versus Logan.
Speaker 1:Paul, I've got no draw, but that could. That could be my appeal. It's like like I'm a nobody right.
Speaker 6:The third fashion is wife, it seems. It seems to work for other people.
Speaker 1:Oh my gosh. Well, I'm certainly excited to to finish this book. I really am, and I'm glad that you're you're okay with raising the numbers just a little bit so we can get through this before the end of the year, cause it is a really good story and I'd I'd really like to find out what happens to Justin. You're bringing some twists and turns throughout the whole book. I'm really excited to finish this so.
Speaker 6:I brought sexy back.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he brought some sexy back for sure. Yes, sir. I'm bringing sexy back.
Speaker 1:So I'm I'm excited to hang out again next Wednesday. This has been so nice to get back together and and uh, hang out. I missed you guys. We've got we've got a good thing going here and I'm really, really thankful for it. I uh look forward to hearing about your book ideas and thoughts, but it's just fun to get together and and uh, hear everyone's personalities and humor. Uh, everyone's got some really witty comments. I just love this group, so I appreciate you guys.
Speaker 1:I uh have different little families in my life. You know, tonight I went and spent a couple of hours with my karate dojo family and uh, I'm close to them in different ways. And driving home and I was just like man, I cannot wait to hang out with my WED3 family. I haven't hung out with him for a minute. I've been busy and I've I fucking did I messed up one of the appointments. Oh, so I I really love this family of mine and uh, some of some of you guys don't even know what your faces look like, and I and I love you guys.
Speaker 1:It's a really cool experience to have friends all over the world like this and uh, wed3 is is really cool, it's. I mean, that whole aspect of it is what I fell in love with, and I'm really, really blown away that we've been able to collect some really cool people that I genuinely think about and, uh, you know, wonder throughout the day about not to creep you guys out, but you're on my mind. You guys are great people, yeah, so there's my, there's my cheesy ending of the space. I do appreciate you guys. I really love these books that we've been reading.
Speaker 1:And man Edward, just a big round of applause. My friend, you're so damn creative and smart and, uh, really, if I could, if I could write one novel in my lifetime, it would be a bucket list item and I'd feel so proud and I wouldn't like even be able to like hold myself to any kind of standard of like, this is badass. I would just be able to say I wrote a book and look, it's like published and there's page numbers and I did that and, like you're, you're writing books, plural and they're really good and they're shareable, and I definitely, uh, have a few cosmic, thriller, slash, uh psychological thriller books in my back pocket now that I can recommend to people that, uh, I know will dig this genre and these genres that you've, you've honestly, if you enjoy these books you really should Like.
Speaker 6:His writing is really technical, but you really should read HP Lovecraft. He writes a lot of short stories but the books are so good, they're so dark. He always focuses on the human psyche and they usually always break at the end of their story in some sort of madness and it's just. It's such an interesting read because it's not just about cosmic horror, it's about the human psyche and I just love them and I think that's Kim and Stephen King are like the reasons I enjoy writing.
Speaker 1:That's a good recommendation, Thank you, I'm going to, I, I'm definitely going to jump into that. I, I you've mentioned it a couple of times and uh, for you to have a recommendation, that's awesome. We've got to take advantage of that.
Speaker 6:If we, I mean we're not going to get them up cause he's dead, but I mean too soon, I don't know.
Speaker 1:No, that's. That's part of an artist's you know, legend and and their legacy is sometimes death makes them even more famous. I think that's like true for musicians too right.
Speaker 6:Did you imagine how famous Stephen King is going to be?
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah right, phew. Yeah, I'm not. I'm not hoping for any artists deaths. There's been a lot of musicians Damn. I think about some of the musicians we've lost and uh, rest in Peace.
Speaker 6:Yeah, kurt Cobain. Yeah, chris Cornell. I was shocked when he passed.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that one got me. I can't believe that, chester, what was that.
Speaker 1:Beddington. Yeah, hey, speaking of music, uh, Tom Petty.
Speaker 2:Matthew Perry that was me, tom Petty Right.
Speaker 6:Woo. I know I'm a Matthew Perry's, not a singer, but I was still shocked by his like like it was going to happen. But at the same time I was just like I only just finished watching 17 again the other day and then I found that out. I was like I just watched you.
Speaker 1:You know, yeah, that's always. That's always sad. Uh Dap, you heard it. You raised your hand to cheer us up. Change the subject.
Speaker 5:I am changing the subject Really away from the book. Okay, I've been doing this pretty much since this has started. I don't know if anyone else has gotten this in the mail yet, but it's the census and you do it online and I've been working on it since the space started. It is that in depth and I absolutely hate it.
Speaker 1:Hey, am I going to be really in trouble if I don't participate in the census?
Speaker 5:Uh well, on the front of it, sir, it says uh, your response is required by law.
Speaker 1:Yeah, how curious. I'm looking at one right now, also you mentioned it.
Speaker 5:Well, I'm not doing it. You are, you know, kind of not contributing to the accuracy of the data. So bad, shame on you.
Speaker 1:I shouldn't worry about the penalty. What you're telling me is I should be a good citizen.
Speaker 5:Well, you won't feel. You'll feel worse when you complete it, probably Because, holy gosh, man, it's asked me so much. It's asked me about my utility bills, it's asked me about the mortgage, how many rooms are in my house? It's asked so much stuff. It's ridiculous, I thought it was. You know, when you go on ancestrycom and then you end up seeing like, oh, that's where my great grandfather, the census guy, came by his house and he had a little ledger book like a whole spreadsheet, and it was like, okay, there was these people, this person, this person, this person living there. They were this age and they got married this year or whatever. Okay, cool and everything.
Speaker 8:What do they do?
Speaker 5:Occupation. Okay, that's cool. This is like way more information. I mean, obviously, thank you, things about race, things about gender, things about other stuff, everything, and then okay, so I understand all of that stuff. But now they're asking what kind of like devices I'm using at home, like do I own a computer? What kind of internet do I have?
Speaker 4:What kind of point, do you?
Speaker 5:watch. No, I ain't asking that At this point. I'm very surprised that it doesn't. But this one here this says last week, what time did I did my trip to work usually begin? I had to put down the hour and minute.
Speaker 1:I'm not kidding, I really asked if what kind of vehicle I took to work. Well, that's a good job of selling me on completing my task here.
Speaker 5:Well, I'm just saying that it's going to be a task to complete.
Speaker 1:I don't want to do this.
Speaker 2:You could go. There's a shorter form and you can call down to your local place and ask for the census officer to come to your place and he has a little checklist and he just asked you about 15 minutes of your time at your front door, 15. Oh, that's a lot easier to do it that way. That's what I did for a what. It's still a lot easier to do it that way.
Speaker 5:Well, whoever designed this is a dumbass. Because it goes hey, how much did you spend last month on electricity? Then it goes how much did you spend last month on gas? You know like, if you're, you know, heated with gas. Then the next one asks how much did you spend in the past 12 months on water? I promise you, everyone there had their bill or whatever. If they actually did it and they put in the last month water bill because you went from doing month to month, then you went to year, okay, I promise that the water everyone will be like. Well, it looks like here that water has gotten cheaper for everybody.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm sure Burbine water.
Speaker 5:Yeah, your survey sucks. You should. You should have had people, I mean the charts don't lie.
Speaker 2:The census even told us we're saving water.
Speaker 5:Yeah, well, I mean, the only thing that's accurate is they're going to know, you know, how many people live here, and my address at the end of it and all the other data. I'm not gonna, I wouldn't even believe, because the survey is not designed well. So, anyways, your census, your government.
Speaker 1:My first job was at Clearwater Research. I did market research interviews over the phone surveys, if you will. I was the guy that called during dinner time and ruined your evening. You know what that job was hilarious. I actually had a great time working that job.
Speaker 5:Well then, you know, you don't go from going to monthly, like monthly, monthly, yearly, because people, they're you know how it is humans develop patterns and they just go about. You know, I even, I even had to go, I even read it and I was like, oh, I should have went back and done that. You know, that's like some sort of little trick question that the teacher would have put in a test or something. Oh you, didn't read the directions.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and I wonder how many people zone out and just start answering questions without really caring anymore about what the answers are. You're emotionally invested at the beginning and then the interview just starts going so long and the survey starts to be so long that that would happen to me a lot. People would just start to answer the same thing over and over because they're just like alright, let's get this over with. Geez, you said 10 minutes, it's been 30.
Speaker 5:Yeah, I don't know why they need to know what time I left for work, but I mean I get it if you're someone who's a job.
Speaker 4:It's like come read your house.
Speaker 5:But someone wears a normal job. You know it's going to be the same time every day. But you know when you're a business owner, you're never going to be there at the same time.
Speaker 1:I appreciate the reminder to finish my census or get it started. I haven't even done it. Oh man, I'm taking these, these penalty warnings, serious. I don't even know the truth, but you're scaring me and I'm going to. I'm going to take Ryan's advice and go for the 15 minute option. I'm going to give it a try. Oh man, good, good space tonight, my friends. I appreciate you guys for hanging out. Dave, thanks for coming through. I'll come by and get your, get your phantom wallet all set up. Phantom's dope, I like, I like phantom, I like soul, and you'll get a little bit more exposure to the web three world thanks to Edward and his awesome projects that are going on. So epic bro.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, I dig and bugged the kids. I know, I know I owe Chloe a birthday present. This happens every year with Dave's daughter. I owe her a birthday present for like months.
Speaker 6:Get her some mother.
Speaker 1:There you go, there you go. My daughter told me just to get her money. They're at that age. Just give her the census. There you go, yeah.
Speaker 6:Welcome. Yeah, get her to fill it out for you at birthday gift.
Speaker 1:It'll help you feel like an adult.
Speaker 8:She'll just doodle on it with her artistic. That's all she'll do. Yeah, artistic styles.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll send it in, I'll send, I'll send that in. Well, my friends, I have a wheel here. Let's, let's get a winner. And Sparky, I was wondering, do we, bite by chance, have a song to close out with?
Speaker 4:Yeah, I did it at the beginning, but I couldn't get the shit to work. For some reason, my computer's just acting janky.
Speaker 1:No worries, okay, I'll run a winner and then I'll turn the time over to you. One second here. Let's run a screen recording for proof. I like to shuffle it up a little bit. Pick the number. What's tonight's number? Who's got it? Who's got it? 22.
Speaker 2:Ooh.
Speaker 1:I'm feeling 22.
Speaker 5:Taylor Swift I was going to say 43, because that's what number question I'm on on the survey so far.
Speaker 1:Oh nice, yeah, 22. You can tell I've got daughters. Taylor Swift comes to mind. Oh boy, you might have our man, demrice, in the audience. I appreciate you coming through, you and your wife. Thank you guys for being awesome supporters, awesome book club attendees. Hey, don't ever be, don't ever hesitate to come up. As you guys have seen, we have some people that are caught up on the reading, even if you guys want to come up and chat, I know Demrice and his wife are busy and hustling and always doing a few things at once. Just being there in the audience and being here. I'm never trying to put pressure, but I do want to always make sure people feel welcome to come up on stage during these book clubs.
Speaker 1:I appreciate everyone attending speakers, participants, co-hosts and listeners. Thank you guys for making my dreams come true having a book club. I still can't believe it. This blows my mind. I'm really appreciative of you guys because I think as an adult, I can get a little carried away and being lazy and falling into my little lazy patterns.
Speaker 1:It's really easy for me to sit back and play some video games or watch shows and, don't get me wrong, I continue doing that, but I really love keeping my brain and my mind fresh with reading. Reading is just a really easy go-to way for me to feel like I'm keeping it young and working it out. I don't know you get older and I'm not old or anything, but my dad died. My brothers are getting older, my sisters are getting older, my mom is getting older. I'm getting older and I am already probably a few COVID cases in. I feel like my brain isn't as top-notch as it once was and I think it's really crucial for me to read. I just appreciate the hell out of this. I hope all of you whether it's reading or anything else that you can find to keep your mind young and healthy. I think there is some value to the group aspect as well.
Speaker 1:Grab a book If you're a holder. We've got an awesome reimbursement program. Please take advantage of it and join along. More than anything, get reading, try to make a little habit of it. I certainly have had great effects from reading and I know you will too. That's where we cue the reading rainbow music and logo. And then it turns over to Sparky the DJ. I appreciate you guys. Thanks for letting me have my long rants. I must be an old dad with no one to talk to, and here I am talking to my phone. You guys are real humans, so it's okay. All right, sparky, take the mic away from me, mother will not be pleased.
Speaker 7:Our children must be protected, be aware that mother is watching.
Speaker 3:She can't turn her back on. She can't. You have no idea.
Speaker 11:I'm a. Feed you to the wolves when you can't nasty back at me. Baby, don't distract me. I'm a goner. I lost her like. Why the hell you wanna play me that way? You're bad babe. You double faced on tondra like.
Speaker 10:On, nonetheless on, and vice versa, on, nonetheless on, and vice versa. Babe, you best believe it, yallもう rip you up to pieces.
Speaker 11:I'm a lover, not a fighter, but I like this place on fire. I want it. I want it. But, baby, at least I'm honest. I get tired of explaining as these seasons keep on changing. Life goes on and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on and on.
Speaker 10:Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, on and on and on and on and on and on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, work all day, and then I wake up work all day.
Speaker 9:And then I wake up work all day. And then I wake up work all day. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Work all day. And then I wake up work all day, and then I wake up work all day, and then I wake up work all day.
Speaker 4:That's. That's oh, whoa, okay dark. So that song made me think of Immortality in the in the book Life, going on and on and on and on. As clearly the chorus goes, there's a part when he says you're bad, babe, you double-faced on tondra, and I think that that talks about several characters, more so Morgan and her Two-sidedness in the earlier chapters, you know, pretending to be something and being just immortal, nobody really realized. There's even a part where the song goes I'm a lover, not a fighter, but I'll light this place on fire. You know, we saw the situation with Justin where he felt like his only option was to Ignite his parents house and burn it down. So it just kind of touched on a few things that it felt like kind of fit with the story In that sense, but that's my take.
Speaker 1:Awesome, great way to end the space tonight. Sparky I don't. I didn't know I missed the sparky DJ songs as much as I did. No, of course I did. I of course I knew how much I missed them and I Love them. So, thank you. Have a good night, you guys, you.
