She's got this hand with a splint on it for
a hanging nail. She's got rubber foam splint tape. It
looks like she broke her finger in sixteen paces.

Speaker 6 (01:26):
Okay, so when it happened, I didn't get it checked.
I cleaned it myself. I did everything myself. But it
was like course, so don't it so I can just
go along with my life.

Speaker 2 (01:34):
And okay, wait, I'm going to ask the stupid question,
why don't we just take the nail off?

hanging onto my cuticle bed, so oh pull it off.

Speaker 6 (02:16):
No, it's I mean, it's not that, it's just like
I I Finally, I think I've I've fully submerged myself
in one of my biggest passions. In life, which I've
I've always done of I've always been a writer, and
I've said I've been taking my time away from nursing.
I've just been deep diving in that and actually enjoying it.

Speaker 6 (02:47):
I don't want to give the whole long line that
we wrote, but it's a story very dear to me,
and it's something that's happened to me and happened to
my friends as well that a lot of people I
think hush hush nowadays. And it also so kind of
ties into cultural differences of friendships and relationships, and it's
just it's a drama, so it's kind of a gut

(03:08):
wrenching type of film.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
So once you write this, then you have to take
it to LASiS for people to want to Yeah.

Speaker 7 (03:15):
So I've always written, like like books and films, but

it to film festivals.

Leigh and I are obviously tight. Daisy and I are sober,
very tight. I went to Miami swim we and saw
Kelsey her show and she look amazing, look amazing. I
was like jaw on the floor. I was like, I
get what you yes like that? And I saw ketch
up like Laxie night Talk. Sometimes I think it's hard

(06:01):
because like Daisy's moved to Vegas, you know, all these
girls were kind of moving all over the place, so
we definitely try to stay in touch and just like
face time or so.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
Wait, are you going to be on Paradise then this year?

Speaker 4 (06:14):

Speaker 4 (06:45):
I knew it. I knew it.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
I have a smile on my face too.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
Nobody could say anything.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
You have to wait, you have to wait. I mean,
it's what it is.

Speaker 5 (07:00):
So okay, So what exciting projects coming up?

Speaker 3 (07:03):
And all?

Speaker 5 (07:03):
She just told us.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
I mean that's full time, right.

Speaker 4 (07:09):
It's well, it's like it's full time. I mean I'm
doing it. I mean we're writing.

Speaker 6 (07:13):
From like eight to midnight like every day. So I
mean the writing is done now we're just doing production.

Speaker 2 (07:18):
And so I hate to be stupid here, but I'm
going to be When you write a short, then do
you that's the words?

Speaker 3 (07:28):
Right? I mean, and then do you film it? And
and so you write it, then you film it and
then you edit it. So it's it's a whole thing,
the whole thing.

Speaker 6 (07:38):
It's the outline, the log line, a look book, a script,
a movie, a trailer will be Did.

Speaker 3 (07:43):
You go to school? How did you learn how to
do all this?

Speaker 4 (07:46):
I'm self taught. I was homeschooled, so I would.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
I was always obsessed with film, like Cats in the Roof,
Alfred Hitchcock. I always watched all those films Lapissine French films,
but not an egg the way. But my family was very,
very encouraging on doing the college route to get it,
to get a solid career. Where was that artistic route,
which is nursing school?

Speaker 4 (08:09):
So I didn't.

Speaker 6 (08:10):
I wasn't really kind of happily brought to you know,
I love my artistic side, which is not a bad thing.
But now I have my nursing degree. If I ever
need to go back, that's what I can.

Speaker 2 (08:21):
How do they feel about this new your family? How
do they feel about this new vein?

Speaker 4 (08:26):
Oh, they're so happy for me.

Speaker 6 (08:28):
They they've known, but they're like, you know they I
think as parents, they're just relieved that you're independent, You're
on your own, like you can.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Whatever happened, you got yourself. You have a bad and
I think that was their concern.

Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, you know, that's what us parents do.

Speaker 4 (08:41):
Rachel, Yeah, yeah, no exactly.

Speaker 6 (08:43):
I was like, that's their love language. They didn't grow
up with a lot. They wanted to make sure I
was good regardless. So yeah, they've always done that. I've
enjoyed films, and now that I'm doing it, they'll call
me like are you writing? I'm like, yeah, I'm so sorry.
I just need like an hour, like two more hours, like.

Speaker 3 (08:55):
Leave me, So tell me.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
I want to know, because uh, you know, I I've
always threatened I have the name of my book, I
just have never written it. The name is going to
be run between the Drops, but I have, but I don't. Yeah,
well it's my mother used to say that. Where that
came from was my mother had us walk to school rain,
wind snow, avalanche, whatever, and we'd say it's pouring rain

(09:19):
out She'd say, run between the drops.

Speaker 3 (09:21):
So that was always going to be the name of
the book.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
But but I honestly don't think I have the discipline
to do it.

Speaker 3 (09:29):
So tell me about that. What's it like? I mean
eight to midnight, come out.

Speaker 1 (09:34):
I have to get writer's block every now and then
just be yeah, we'll go for a walk, like an
hour walk.

Speaker 4 (09:41):
I mean, we're dousing up on caffeine throughout the day.
But I think my ideas, I've taken so much time
away from my passion that I'm like, I just need
to do it and I just need to write it
and put it out there and if it bites and
if someone really loves it, then amazing, and if it doesn't.
I still enjoy the process of writing a film and
writing a script.

Speaker 6 (10:00):
And I think because it's a passion, I'm like, I
just need I just need to do it.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
I'm curious about your verbiat here. You keep saying writing,
but it's more than writing. You're producing a film.

Speaker 6 (10:10):
Yeah, we're writing, producing and probably directing it too. So
which maybe that's.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
We weren't going to the list because we're like we
do we like, do we make the cast really small?
And intimately do we make this a whole thing?

Speaker 7 (10:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (10:26):
It's it's so much to think about, right because we're
doing all of our own money as well, Like this is.

Speaker 3 (10:30):
Are we're paying for your baby?

Speaker 5 (10:32):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (10:32):
Baby, So you know we're trying to make it the best,
but also be conscious that we have bills today, we have.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Writ when do you expect completion?

Speaker 4 (10:41):
We are hoping within a month.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
Nice, And how long have you been working on it?

Speaker 6 (10:46):
We started, this has been in the works, the idea
of that's been over over a month, maybe two months,
this specific one, and then we did the whole writing process,
I mean longer, like we two weeks maybe.

Speaker 3 (11:01):
Wow.

Speaker 4 (11:02):
We've been like secluded together, like no one is here.
We're just constantly going.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
Uh huh that friend, uh huh, secluded with that friend.

Speaker 1 (11:11):
Okay, you know what happens when you're locked into the
house with somebody.

Speaker 3 (11:15):
I mean, we're just gonna call him friend. Yeah, Yeah,
we're just gonna call him. We're gonna it's gonna be breaking.

Speaker 2 (11:20):
On Bachelor Nation, Rachel Nance has a friend.

Speaker 6 (11:25):
And because you know, I think even with Daisy's boyfriend
when they were dating, I was like, how is the
privacy thing? Because I think it's very different yours who
doesn't do reality TV. And even though he's a friend
or whether he's not a friend, whatever it is, I
always asked him.

Speaker 4 (11:41):
Like, do you want to be like you want me
to say who you wanted? He's like, I'm okay.

Speaker 2 (11:46):
Unlike Susan who puts it out there all over the
internet and goes shopping for wedding rings as a joke.

Speaker 3 (11:54):
Though, like go on to read that article.

Speaker 4 (11:57):
Though, I mean that was I mean no, there's always
something out there.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Oh my goodness, I said, well they want to say that,
let's go. Well, I was going to my jewelers anyhow.

Speaker 4 (12:06):
Hey, but are you you're still together?

Speaker 6 (12:08):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (12:08):
Yes, yeah, she threw me to the curb. Didn't you
hear all the school?

Speaker 2 (12:12):
God, she threw Kathy the curb for the boyfriend. It's
a joke, it's not true.

Speaker 5 (12:16):
So Kathy and I are getting ready to go away together.

Speaker 3 (12:19):
Actually, yeah, we're getting ready to go on a cruise for.

Speaker 2 (12:21):
A couple of weeks where and all the Greek guylands.

Speaker 6 (12:27):
You guys, I'm living through you, guys.

Speaker 1 (12:31):
But you're doing the right thing. You work and get
that off the ground and then it's just getting started. Yes,
I wish you all the best.

Speaker 5 (12:47):
I'm so happy for you. That smile is worth everything.

Speaker 6 (12:51):
Yeah, there's little bits and pieces of from my wife.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
Is not in this film. And I also took from
my friends that I've that I've known or they've had
really traumatic things happen, and I'm we've pulled in from
many of our stories to make it a relatable film
and it'll touch all I love that everybody will feel
something from that.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
I love that and I feel like that's you know,
we talk about having a platform.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
What better platform? Yeah? Yeah, I want to see this.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Oh you'll see it, You'll see it.

Speaker 3 (13:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
Wow, Well, congratulations. If nothing else, you're going to do fabulous.

Speaker 5 (13:29):
I know it.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
And now we're going to get move on into our
advice portion of the episode. Yeah, we're going to kick
things off with our question of the day and we
would love to have your thoughts on this, Kath you
want to read the question of the day.

Speaker 2 (13:44):
Okay, So, Rachel, what do you consider to be an
obvious red flag that you see a lot of people
ignore when they're dating. Oh.

Speaker 4 (13:56):
I don't know if it's a new one, but I
will say love bombing. I think of.

Speaker 6 (14:01):
Misunderstand that as something that they really need when it
could be an unhealthy You.

Speaker 2 (14:08):
Mean love bombing like phone calls, flowers, presents.

Speaker 4 (14:12):
So I I love place.

Speaker 5 (14:15):
Yeah, that's a good thing.

Speaker 4 (14:17):
Okay, of pe and ees every day that's.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
My favorite flower.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
Well there, but I think I've I've experienced it where
I've I've talked to a guy recently and he said
everything right, but almost two textbooks in the sense of
he was so into me straight from the beginning without
it kind of just growing in buildings. So I took
that as, Oh, he really likes me, and then his

(14:44):
pacade was only kept up for about three weeks. Then
he realized, oh, I can't keep this up. So I
think it's I think it's more in our generation now
that a lot of guys they kind of have this
love bombing idea and if I tell the girl the
right thing for two three weeks, I'll get what I
want with them, and then they wind up not liking you, and.

Speaker 3 (15:01):
Wait, get what you want? What do you mean?

Speaker 4 (15:03):
We'll talk to you and they'll take you on dates,
and they were like, oh, actually I don't want to
date you, but I really did like you. And they'll
tell you all the things like you could be an
amazing wife one day, I could see you as a
mom one day. They just say all these things.

Speaker 5 (15:16):
And then they decide they don't want to date.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
They're like, actually, you know what, no.

Speaker 6 (15:20):
So it's hard to talk them because they say everything
right just sounds so.

Speaker 3 (15:27):
All of a sudden it's okay.

Speaker 6 (15:29):
My parents always too call me like, I just feel
so bad for you guys dating nowadays.

Speaker 4 (15:33):
I feel for you.

Speaker 3 (15:34):
I said, yeah, well wait, did you Regardless whether you're
dating now or not, I'm not going to push you
any more, but did you do dating apps? After the show?

Speaker 4 (15:43):
My friend and I made a hinge for a week
and I just I couldn't. I didn't like it.

Speaker 3 (15:50):
For a week.

Speaker 4 (15:52):
I felt like I felt.

Speaker 6 (15:53):
Like we had to audition to strangers, like this is
what I have to offer you, and I was like,
I don't know if I like that idea.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Okay, So there's another difference I have. Never when I
was on deading naps, I never ever felt like I
was auditioning to juices.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
Maybe la Maybe it's it's.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Maybe or maybe it's age confidence.

Speaker 4 (16:16):
Yeah, maybe it's age thing I think. I mean, I'm
hoping whatever my future husband is, whatever he's doing, he's
going to be nice and easy going.

Speaker 2 (16:25):
I saw him look over she keeps looking over there.

Speaker 3 (16:29):
It's hysterical.

Speaker 6 (16:31):
Walk past the window and he had his phone and
then he texted me.

Speaker 4 (16:35):
I was like, I'm doing something.

Speaker 3 (16:37):
He texted you just now because he walked.

Speaker 4 (16:39):
Past the window that I was, and I was like,
I'm still talking.

Speaker 1 (16:43):
Okay, he knows you're doing a podcast. Well, what's your
red flag, Kathy?

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Oh are you kidding me? I got I got it.
I got a whole flotilla of My most favorite one.

Speaker 1 (16:55):
Is if somebody's rude to a waiter, a waitress, a server,
But that's.

Speaker 4 (17:00):
That needs to be bored for everybody.

Speaker 3 (17:04):
He's not going to change, you know. I don't.

Speaker 2 (17:08):
Yeah, I mean that is I agree with that one, Susan.
I don't know. I used to have so many red flags.
I think one if they if they don't get along
with their family at least somebody there. Like I don't
get along with all my siblings, but you know, I
love my parents and I'm very close with one of

(17:29):
mylf I think though, if a guy says to me,
you know, I don't really talk to my family, or
worse yet, my kids at my age, they have kids,
I don't really talk to my kids very often.

Speaker 3 (17:39):
I'm like, that's a red flag.

Speaker 5 (17:41):
Yeah, yeah, I wait.

Speaker 4 (17:44):
I want to ask you guys a real quick question.

Speaker 6 (17:46):
Oh go, okay, so if okay, this happened to me
recently so that I'm going to ask it before I said,
I was talking to somebody, and my dad always raised
me that if a guy's going to pursue you is
going to be so obvious, like he will make it
very known that he will do anything to see you. Yeah,
we're a long distance because I always do long distance

(18:07):
because I'm insane and i'm working on that.

Speaker 4 (18:10):
I'm unpacking that with myself.

Speaker 6 (18:12):
And he asked me to visit him, and I was like, oh, well, actually,
I'm going to be going to a city near you
for something, and I have three trips around it, so
I could stop by Da Da Da Da, but I
was paying for my other trips. So I just asked
him and I was like, would you want to like,
would you want to pay for my ticket or we
could split the ticket because I'm going to see you.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
And he ended things with me.

Speaker 3 (18:32):
And he was wait, wait, wait, wait, I'm sorry, you
have to back up.

Speaker 2 (18:35):
You were going on business to three different cities and
he lived near.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Near one of the one of those to go out
of her way to get another, so.

Speaker 2 (18:44):
You exactly, you have to get a fourth ticket if
you want to go see her, right, And how long
had you been dating this guy?

Speaker 4 (18:50):
We were only talking for almost like a month over
a month and a half. We were just talking. So
we're gonna meet.

Speaker 3 (18:56):
And I absolutely throw his butt to the curb. Just
let him finished.

Speaker 6 (19:00):
Cat he ended it, I asked him, so then he
ended it with me, which it was like fine.

Speaker 4 (19:05):
I prayed about it and I was like whatever, but
he was like, yeah, I just didn't think you were
like that. And I was like like what, he's like
like that type of girl who just needs.

Speaker 6 (19:19):
Needs money And I said, oh, I don't. I don't
need money, and he was like, yeah, this isn't gonna work.
Like I just I don't want to feel like you're
just using me. I said, okay, I mean that's fine,
and my dad was like.

Speaker 4 (19:32):
What a bossier?

Speaker 1 (19:33):
Like, my dad, you want me to pay for an
airline ticket to come see you.

Speaker 5 (19:38):
I've never met you before. You don't want to split
it with.

Speaker 2 (19:41):
You, but where were you going to stay Rachel with him? Yeah,
you never met him in person. You're gonna see to me,
that's like you were signing yourself up for potential.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
You know, I'm missing on daily. I know.

Speaker 7 (19:57):
I tell my parents and they're like what, They're like,
that's fine, Like you as my guy.

Speaker 4 (20:02):
If I wanted money, I'd be talking to like, I mean,
not you.

Speaker 3 (20:06):
Well, was this guy wealthy?

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Were the same? I think we were on the same
like Salard.

Speaker 2 (20:12):
I think it's I don't think it's a red flag.
I think it's like I said, if he hadn't said
to you, it's over, I think that's nuts. And the
fact that that is a huge red flag. You know,
if if he said to me, well, this isn't gonna work,
I'm breaking up, I would have said to him, Oh no, no, no,
you just missed it.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
I just broke up with you five minutes ago. You're
like nothing to.

Speaker 5 (20:34):
Break up with. They hadn't even met in person.

Speaker 7 (20:36):
Yeah, so when I mean when he said that, I
kind of was confused, and obviously I was.

Speaker 6 (20:40):
I was like me being I think, me trying to
what does the word fix it? I was like, now
it up. Yeah, I'm saying, is what I'm asking. And
then I have to talk myself and said, what am
I doing? It's like it's batting pedaling for this.

Speaker 4 (20:53):
Yeah, we're good. We're good, babe, We're good.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Nice talking to you. I find that surprise, Susan.

Speaker 2 (21:02):
Don't you find that surprising surprising that a guy wouldn't
say sure.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
I find that stunning.

Speaker 6 (21:09):
Because that's how I think it's so different. Now it's
it's and I'm so old fashioned. I blame my dad
for it. I'm so old fashioned. So like, when I
meet differently.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
I think what you should have done, though, was said
to him. You know I'm making it up.

Speaker 2 (21:26):
You know, Chicago, meet in a in a city close,
say let's meet at a at a neutral place that
could have.

Speaker 5 (21:32):
Come to your city wherever you.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
Yeah, or you should have said that, why don't you
come to mind? Better to her to find out?

Speaker 4 (21:40):
It was a whole thing.

Speaker 6 (21:41):
Honestly, I was like, good as it worked out perfectly
because I enjoyed my three trips that were.

Speaker 3 (21:49):
Whoever you are, sir, you missed perfection. Yes, let me
tell you your loss.

Speaker 2 (22:02):
All right, we are gonna We're gonna move on because
you clearly have opinions, Rachel, which I love. We're gonna
give some advice up to a fan, so weigh in
on this one.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Here we go. I need your help.

Speaker 2 (22:14):
My boyfriend and I have been together for about three
months and he won't pay for my airline ticket.

Speaker 3 (22:18):
No, I'm kidding. I made that up. I'm kidding.

Speaker 2 (22:21):
My boyfriend and I have been together for about three
months and everything has been awesome until the other day.
After having to stay with his family for months while
his apartment got some serious work done, my boyfriend was
finally able to have me over at his place for
the first time. When I walked in, I was horrified.

(22:42):
For context, He's been settled in for about a week.
He does not take good care of his dog. The
carpet smells like.

Speaker 3 (22:50):
Pee, there's dog hair everywhere, the bulls are dirty, and
he doesn't take it for a walk.

Speaker 2 (22:56):
He only lets it out in the backyard. After trying
to ask about the dog in a low key way,
I found out that he's had the dog on his own,
like not living with his family for three years.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
Is this breakup worthy?

Speaker 2 (23:10):
I'm shocked that he treat his dog this way, and
after seeing his apartment, I am it out? Am I overreacting?
And how can I get this dog to have a
better life? Thanks so much? What says you, Rachel?

Speaker 4 (23:25):
I feel like I don't need to say much.

Speaker 5 (23:27):
No, we don't.

Speaker 6 (23:29):
If anyone did anything to my dog, I would kill them. So, yeah,
this is breakup worthy.

Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yeah, let me just say I just got back from
Costa Rica, Austa, Louego.

Speaker 6 (23:40):
Buddy, Yeah, you're like, no, you're yeah, dog, And I
would leave the guy.

Speaker 4 (23:48):
That's crazy. And I'll call it.

Speaker 5 (23:50):
I was dirty, that's my first thing.

Speaker 3 (23:52):
Oh yeah, Susan, dirt does not go. The dog's bowl
was even clean. Here's the thing to me a dog.

Speaker 2 (24:01):
If he treats a dog, and I'm being serious, if
he treats a dog like that, and he treats an
animal that can't then for itself, that can't vocalize and can't.

Speaker 3 (24:11):
You know, negotiate or or speak. What howll you tweet
a human being?

Speaker 4 (24:16):
It's like pre Jeffrey Dahmer. I mean.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
No, and and and the other part of this we
we don't know who you are, but anonymous. The other
part of this question, how do I get the dog
to have a better life? If you feel so inclined,
offer to take the dog off his hands. But I'm
guessing the.

Speaker 3 (24:36):
Answer to that one's going to be for years.

Speaker 1 (24:38):
And now wait, he was having this apartment redone right,
bunch of work.

Speaker 5 (24:43):
Why does the carpet smell like pey?

Speaker 3 (24:47):
That's the amazing thing he said?

Speaker 2 (24:49):
He says, Well, if he's been settled in for a
week and the place was just redone and the place
already smells like pe run.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Yeah. I was gonna say, want to.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
Take the dog?

Speaker 3 (25:01):
Yill the dog? Yeah? I mean, I mean, like a
number you can call no, because there's no log against
letting the dog pee in the house or out in
the yard unless the dog was.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Hungry and didn't have food, you know's I mean the
fact that he doesn't walk the dog, it just sounds
like listen, I just want to say, I'm speechless here,
move on, find yourself a new date.

Speaker 5 (25:27):
I mean, that's that's just, that's just and it's only
been three months.

Speaker 1 (25:33):
I wonder like how he was at the parents house
where he was staying, if she ever went over there.

Speaker 3 (25:39):
Yeah, just you know what.

Speaker 2 (25:42):
The probably the serious work he was getting done was
the first time the dog pete everything. He had to
get it all fixed up, and now he's just starting
on round two.

Speaker 5 (25:49):
It's definitely an if.

Speaker 7 (25:53):
That's flag, red flag, red flag.

Speaker 5 (25:57):
We're gonna say, do you have any questions for us?

Speaker 6 (26:01):
I asked the question. It was that it was that
flight guy. It was the flight thing. What are guys
gonna come to Hawaii?

Speaker 3 (26:11):
Opportunity. Remember when oh I go Saturday, Oh you are
how will you be there for? What?

Speaker 4 (26:20):
Twelve days?

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Maybe?

Speaker 5 (26:21):
Nice?

Speaker 3 (26:23):
Do you get home a lot?

Speaker 4 (26:25):
I try to go home four times a year. I
try really hard.

Speaker 3 (26:28):
That's yeah, that's nice. California, it's not so bad.

Speaker 4 (26:33):
Yeah, it's a flight.

Speaker 3 (26:35):
Yeah, do you hear her?

Speaker 2 (26:36):
It's a quick six hour flight. That is an oxymoron.
Six hours is not a quick flight, just.

Speaker 4 (26:44):
Saying I know, I'm so used to them.

Speaker 3 (26:46):
It's better than twelve. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (26:49):
I went home to the Philippines and that was a
fifteen hour flight. Yes, and then a ten hour drive
we had to do. It was a whole thing.

Speaker 3 (26:57):
However, you get to the Philippines no often.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
I've gone when I was little, and I went recently.
Because that travel is.

Speaker 5 (27:04):
That's not it's brutal.

Speaker 4 (27:06):
Because our nana's house is all the way up in
the north, so it's like it's really really far.

Speaker 2 (27:12):
Do you say you're nana? Is that the word for grandmother?

Speaker 3 (27:15):
Is that what you call? Yeah, we say nana, that's
what we say. Now you say nana? It was nana.
I'm not English version, is that?

Speaker 4 (27:26):
Yeah? Nona's Italian?

Speaker 3 (27:27):
No?

Speaker 5 (27:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (27:28):
Yeah, so yeah, I'm I still can't get over that finger.
I'm just looking at this.

Speaker 6 (27:33):
I'm going to try and get it. I'm going to
try and get it removed at some point this week.
I'm really trying. It's just it's so annoying.

Speaker 5 (27:40):
It seems painful.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
I don't know you, but I have to say, well,
you look whatever you're doing glowing.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
You're glowing, whatever you're doing. You got to keep doing it.

Speaker 1 (27:52):
But I'll expect a text message from you.

Speaker 6 (27:56):
You know that there's a film coming out, and I
hope you all there when it's in a film festival.

Speaker 3 (28:03):
When, Rachel, when do you submit for you know what
I'm saying.

Speaker 6 (28:07):
When we've missed some deadlines already for the really for
some of the big ones that we really wanted to do.
So there's three coming up which will be mid August,
and then we could wait and we could still submit
it for CON next year if we want you, because
we I think we're planning to go to France next
year and actually go to the festival, so we'll still
probably submit it next year for those ones.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
But is the CON festival next year?

Speaker 4 (28:31):
May?

Speaker 3 (28:33):
Toronto Film Festival is in September.

Speaker 6 (28:35):
I think yes, the deadline passed already for that. We
were going to do Toronto as well, so that one passed.
Austin already passed, Chicago passed, so there's a few that
were able to do.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Wait, I have a stupid question, why not wait and
just submit it next year?

Speaker 5 (28:50):
They're excited?

Speaker 4 (28:51):
I know. I think we're so excited, and we're just
here to kind of get it out there. And then
also I think it's a nice idea.

Speaker 6 (28:59):
If we get into film festival, we could always use
the time after to fix certain things and then resubmit
to something else.

Speaker 4 (29:04):
So there's always room.

Speaker 3 (29:06):
So wait, let me ask you a question of you.

Speaker 2 (29:08):
If it shows, let's just say it did show an
awesome film festival, and then does someone buy? Is the
hope that someone buys the film or wants to make
it a full length?

Speaker 3 (29:18):
What's the what's the d.

Speaker 7 (29:20):
I think our hope for this specific story, where this
is just us obviously shooting for the stars and in
the most egregious way, is we would love for it
to be a miniseries because there's so many things that
are happening in it.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
But obviously it just has to go well with the film.

Speaker 6 (29:37):
Festivals, and and and yes, it goes well there.

Speaker 3 (29:40):
Then it's got to be recognized, ye, someone to.

Speaker 4 (29:43):
Be like, oh, that's an amazing story, like let's talk
about it.

Speaker 3 (29:47):
Wait, oh, I wish you'd but that's how it works.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
If someone, uh, if someone likes it, they could say, hey,
we want to buy it and make.

Speaker 6 (29:56):
A yeah, yeah you just paid take it to a network.
I think one of these TikTok guys. He's famous how
he wrote over compensated. It's like this amazing show on
Amazon about being gay and hiding it and dating a girl,
like this whole thing. I think he wrote it and
pitched it and now the show blew up on Amazon Prime.
So I mean, it always just it just has to
be the right crowd that hears it your pitch, and

(30:17):
so that's what Wow is doing.

Speaker 4 (30:20):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
Well, we wish you all the luck. I hope it.
I hope it flies.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
I really.

Speaker 6 (30:26):
We still did a film and you guys can still
see it when it's done and it's still our.

Speaker 4 (30:33):
Yeah, come please.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
Come, we want to wait.

Speaker 2 (30:37):
Wait, Susan, we haven't given up being actors in this film.

Speaker 1 (30:41):
I just said, if you be the actor when you're
ready to film, call.

Speaker 4 (30:45):

in the works, so you guys are definitely all right.
