Speaker 1 (00:00):
Welcome to Truth Hounds, a production of My Heart Radio.
I'm Anna and I've been unemployed for two years now,
so I really have nothing going on. And I'm Kyle
and in middle school I received the ward most Enthusiastic
to learn. So that makes me pretty special. And that
(00:22):
is what makes us the perfect investigative duo. We are
two friends who love each other very much. What will
we love even more is getting to the bottom of mysteries,
all mysteries, short but small mysteries. Specifically, trust me, No
mystery is too small. No, no, no, Why don't you
trust me when I tell you we are ready to
(00:44):
sniff around? We are the the truth Hounds. Previously on
Truth Hounds, I would sit down with Kyle and show
her this website. M Deep macromy, the director of the festival,
(01:04):
looked terrifying, So that you know that feels like a
little I guess predatory. I don't um. People have been
canceled for less. I dare you to submit to this festival.
I'm a psychopath. Hello, Hey Kyle? Hi, yeah, hey, um,
(01:41):
it's Anna. Oh Hey, what's going on? Hey? Um? Are
you busy right now? I'm actually in the middle of
counting cash Oh cool, what do you got? I'm currently
on three. Oh that's crazy. I'm actually also counting gets.
(02:01):
I'm on four. Oh cool. Yeah. Um, so look, we
really actually need to talk. Oh, I'll be right there. Hikay, No,
(02:23):
it's okay. I mean it's soople. Do you remember the
guys who are fishing. I think those are the same guys.
Oh my god, I think about the same guys. That's
what I'm working with. You that their brothers or their friends.
Oh that's a really good question. I don't know, dude,
I don't know. I actually don't know what I'm seeing.
I know that the ocean looks beautiful, of the sky,
(02:44):
the land, whatever. But I literally am so tired. I
am so tired. Yeah that's why I yawned. What's going
on with you? Why? Honestly, since we start of this investigation,
I just like I stay up all night just thinking
about beat back from May. I'm just like fascinated but terrified,
(03:10):
but just I can't stop thinking about this May. Okay,
you know what the same thing is happening to me.
I literally can't sleep. I'm googling the guy to like
five am, because you know what happened, you know, last
week he said, what if he's weird? Yeah, I can't
stop thinking what if we meet him and he's weird? Yeah?
(03:33):
I think last night specifically, I was thinking, what if
we meet him and he kills us? Oh my Kyle,
I don't think he's not going to kill us. Well,
I don't know. We don't know him. We don't know
this man. And I feel like we're this is starting
to feel really serious and really real what we're doing.
I mean, we're this is what the second episode of
this investigation. It's the third episode of the season, but
(03:55):
it's the second second investigation. Yeah, oh my god. We
actually have a lot to do. So maybe we should
get going, but maybe we could nap in the way there,
or yeah, let's just maybe switch off driving. Okay, okay?
Episode three What is Fear and Why Can't I Look Away?
(04:19):
Part two? So we would continue with our plan to
meet Beep macromy and infiltrate his freaky little world, which
in turn would help us understand what is fear and
why we couldn't get enough of it. That meant making
(04:42):
a short horror film, submitting it to film festival, hopefully
getting in and attending it. Then that is where Beet
macromy would have to be because it was his festival.
I mean, if you had your own festival, you would
have to attend it. Damn. Can you imagine not attending
(05:05):
your own festival. It's actually kind of baller. We were
well on our way, we had a director and we
had some money, but there was still some stuff missing.
Our director, Clay informed us that at this point it
was probably a good idea if we got a script,
(05:27):
you know, so there was something for him to direct
help the guy out. You might remember our scriptwriters from
last season, Chloe and Josh. I started as the writer's
p A and worked my way up to writer's assistant.
So she's great in a room. I think they just
saw her and they bucked her up. We considered them
(05:52):
for the project, but they didn't feel right. They were
more Jerry O'Connell vehicle meats Sneaky Pete, which is super cool.
But we were trying to get into a festival, so
we needed someone who knew the festival circuit. Clay, a
(06:12):
brave director, suggested that we meet for the Alex. Alex
actually owed Clay a favor, so he was willing to
write the script. Site Unseen Alex had written a short
film which had premiered at Sundance. Ever heard of it? Um,
(06:32):
I've actually never heard of it. Anyway, we set up
a zoom to talk with this accredited script writer. Hello, Hello, Yes,
so Clay reached out to you and sold you in
a little bit. Yeah, he said, you guys are looking
for a short film script the horror. Sure, yeah, yeah, exactly. Um,
(07:02):
and just to just to kind of double check, what
are your qualifications? Um, I've written lots of shorts before.
No one of them went to the Sundance Film Festival.
Oh wow, wow. You might have just heard me say
wow right there. But I got to be honest, I
(07:23):
had no idea what he was talking about. I asked
some follow up questions. How many applications did they get?
Isn't it really hard to get into that they get?
They get? Uh? I would say thousands? Wow? Damn. He
(07:43):
was impressive. He seems like a good fit. Okay, well,
we are looking to make ultimately a horror short for
no budget. We told him a bit about who we were,
So Kyle's actually a horror movie buff. Yeah, and then
(08:05):
I'm kind of a more of a film head. Um,
so we like it to be kind of a mix
of both of those things. Like, for me, it's really
important that it has just a touch of a social message.
And this could be maybe a character size a line
that's like, um, I don't know, you know, and don't
(08:27):
drive drunk, you know, or whatever, very kind of I
wanted to be pretty clear. I know Anna like the
back of my hand, and I knew the types of
things she cared about, so I piped in, or like
taxes it's impossible to pay them? Yeah, yeah, something like that,
something like taxes aren't taxes, it's impossible to pay them.
(08:52):
Alex totally got it. Before we knew it, we were
having a full blown brainstorming session. But let's say, why
don't we go ahead and text the rich? Okay, yeah,
text the rich? Yeah, why don't we go ahead and
text the ridge? Or maybe it's a symbol on the table.
Next thing we knew we were basically in a Parisian
(09:14):
salon with Gertrude Stein, Like maybe it's like the pills
on the table represent Oh actually, maybe you should have
both of those things. Maybe literally a direct line of
dialogue that's like, what do you think about taxing the rich? More?
And then also very heavy symbolism in the object work.
(09:37):
Oh god, past the croissants. So if that could yeah,
that could be written to the script. Yeah, definitely, maybe
right into the script that like the you know, there's
a um, there's a big bottle of pills on the table. Yeah,
so maybe there should just be a really big bottle
on the tag on it says, you know, it costs
(10:00):
so much money. It's like, who can afford that? Healthcare?
Is really expensive? Yeah? What an inspiring exchange of ideas.
This was basically a thought bizarre in Paris. I'm glad
we got that clarified. But now it was really important
for us that I was heard animated, sure of it?
(10:25):
Um and then ver Kyle, I think it's really important
that it's really scared scares uh, scares galore. So there
you go. Okay, good, I'm glad I was heard. Sometimes
I feel like no one can hear me that I'm
so small and I'm walking along a busy street hugging
(10:48):
at people's pant legs. Hello, I'm down here, can you
hear me? Hello? Anyways, we finished up the conversation because
we had definitely given him enough to work with. Yeah,
I guess um, if you could kind of get on it,
(11:12):
that would be realized. The timeline I think, yeah. I
think the last time we talked to Clay it was like, well,
shooting in two weeks, and that was maybe a week ago. Okay, yeah,
literally one day past and we had the script. I
(11:34):
guess this guy, Alex Clay a big favor. So here
it was the script still hot from the oven. I'm
just kidding. That's not how that works. I know things
(11:55):
are getting really good, but we have to take a
break for some ads, and the ad break is over.
Back to it. We were so excited, I mean, we
wanted to start shooting our short horror film right there
(12:17):
and then. But Clay, our director, had other thoughts. He
recommended that we do a read through, which I guess
is a pretty standard Hollywood procedure where you read over
the script. We went back to the place that we
all know and love, zoom. I think Alex did a
(12:43):
really good job. We didn't waste any time. In fact,
Kyle and I hadn't even given the script a good read.
We jumped right into it. Into your house kitchen night guys,
looking into the fringe, lit only by the French light.
He pokes around, nothing seems appetizing. Scary knock at the door.
(13:07):
He closes the fridge and cautiously it approaches the front.
I need to do if you're living room night. It
turns out what we've just seen is a horror movie,
and um, they have a big reaction to they kill WHOA.
(13:33):
I was about to go get some food, but fridges
are a little too scary for me right now. I
love that he went back into the fridge after already
checking the fridge. That's literally half my day. Check the fridge,
check phone, check fridge, check phone. If anything new will
pop up A big, big heel better. Yeah, being in
quarantine is like being stuck in a time loop exactly
(13:57):
the same day over and over again, except and keeps
going and we get older. It's cool, very cool. They
go back to watching the movie. But knock, knock, knocks,
scary knocking at the front. Boor uh did you order food? No,
(14:17):
you're not expecting anyone. Who would I be expected? And
it gets up and grabs a face mask. What are
you doing checking the door? I don't think you should, Kyle,
You're being crazy. Please don't open the door. You're just
scared by the movie. There's nothing scary happening, long tense
walk as Anna walks through the door and looks through
(14:38):
the people. Oh my god, Oh my god, what is it?
And it looks back at cow with horror. It's a
package from Amazon, my god, and it picks it up
and brings it in. I know, I know it's bad
to order from the Amazon. Could you please lock the door.
The script was amazing. It was brimming with social messages,
(15:04):
so I was happy for some reason. And shop sticks
have stabbed her in both of the eyes. She's dead
the end. I mean, it's amazing, this is amazing. I
love that you hit. You kind of hit for me.
You know that Amazon should be paying more taxes. Yes,
(15:27):
very very current, very currents boarding or meeting to have
like a message, Absolutely, I don't. I mean, it's just
it's perfect. Yeah, the social messages were good, but remember
I needed to be heard, and that meant it needed
to have the right kind of scares. You see. My
(15:51):
favorite thing about scary movies is that they always do
the unexpected. Like in a normal movie, people just walk forward,
you know, one foot in front of the other. But
in a scary movie, people are walking every which way.
(16:12):
Sometimes they even walk backward, you know, one foot behind
the other. This is something I knew I wanted in
our film. Have you ever seen a shot in a
horror film or creepy figures dart behind a character in
the foreground. Well, Anna and I wanted to be those
(16:35):
creepy figures, and we wanted to be running backward. I
brought it up with Clay and he definitely was on board.
He did have a worry though. Now my main worry
is if you run too fast, you might hit the
wall that is standing is right there, and that one,
(16:58):
I say, if you ran fast enough, can knock ye out.
So I was maybe we can offer maybe run another way.
Maybe two people running at the same time as distracting enough.
You don't know what's going on. Your eyes are overwhelmed,
so that could buy us a little bit of time,
enough to run quite so fast, so we won't run
into a wall, but so that we're doing it at
(17:22):
the same time, that's just two people, that's more powerful.
They'll get a little distracted. Okay. Like any good director,
Clay kept brainstorming. He had so many ideas about running backward.
I think for me as a director, I would want options,
so I would want you running every which way maybe Okay, Yeah,
(17:44):
I was gonna say, we could get maybe just an
option where we're running actually toward the camera. Yeah, that's
maybe not we're running away. That would be a homage
that they fat train that that went into the audience,
so undience early film. I also like the idea of
the running being really heavy, so it being very like
(18:07):
like really like fat thick sound, you know, not like
hit your pattern, but just like in that case, I
would recommend bringing your heaviest pair of shoes and men,
we we can wet them down absolutely. Before we set
our goodbyes, we asked Clay one more thing. We wanted
(18:32):
to do a good job acting. I mean, can I
be honest? This was both my and Kyle's dream to act.
I mean me, Anna, I want to stand on a
beautiful stage, spotlight right on me so you could really
(18:56):
really see the outlines of my face. I want to
look dead head into the audience and say take me
into your arms and show me the world, and then
kick me out and leave me for dirt, the dirt
that I am me. Kyle, my dream was to be
(19:19):
in a big blockbuster comedy, you know, the type of
movie where I play every single character in the movie
and at one point we're all in the same room
and we're running into each other and we're like, no,
I'm Kyle, No, I'm Kyle. Hey, which one of you
(19:40):
Kyle's did that? I'll never tell Hio. Yeah, that's my
dream anyway. Yeah, we wanted to act. Kyle had an
idea and she ran it by Clay. Anna and I
were thinking about maybe meeting with an acting coach to
(20:01):
just really get our rolls down. Do you think that?
Would you advise that? I would definitely advise that anything
that gets you comfortable instead, I think an acting coach
wouldn't be great helpful with that. Anyway, we finally ended
the Zoom. Thank you guys so much, and She's awesome sauce.
(20:23):
The read through was a complete success, and actually I
had the perfect acting coach in mind. However, he wouldn't
be available until the day before the shoot, so we
decided to focus on other things. We knew that we
(20:45):
would eventually have a quality product on our hands. But
I have to say something, and that is acting is
not a product. It's not something you can purchase at
a store. It's not something you see in a window
(21:06):
display at Macy's. Run inside and say I'll take three
of those. Acting is an art and to act is
to be an artist. And the thing about us is
we are really good at doing work, but we're were artists.
(21:32):
I don't know what I mean to say. Is I
know how to put together a schedule, rent a table,
hire a screenwriter, But am I anna an artist? We
didn't have the answers to such complicated questions, but we
(21:53):
did have a huge advantage. If you know what is
practically in our backyard. Yeah you the listener sitting there
all cute in your beanie. Our backyard is Hollywood. We
make this podcast in Hollywood. Do you know what Hollywood is?
(22:19):
It's the genesis of acting. This is where you come
to act. Every day, thousands of people come here to act,
and well, we're already here. We had a hometown advantage.
I know that it's taken a long time to get
(22:40):
to our point, but one, what else is new? And
two here it is we live in the mecca of acting, Hollywood.
We needed to be with the acting community. We needed
to feel gitimized. So we came up with a mini
(23:03):
plan we would make a pilgrimage to the heart of Hollywood, which,
as everyone knows, is the Hollywood Walk of Fame. We
figured this is where actors were hanging out doing their
you know, actor things. We got into my car, drove
(23:24):
for an hour and a half, and paid thirty dollars
for parking, and finally we were there the heart of Hollywood.
We stopped to admire some of the names on the
stars adorning the sidewalk. I'm sorry, but can I just
say it was so exciting to see all of the
(23:48):
stars because it really made you think maybe one day
my name would be there. We took a look at
the names to game. Delbert Man, Delbert, don't remember that? Dorothy,
(24:10):
I don't know that. I really don't know that. Okay,
A oh, I say wait, deep proved back. Who's that? Um?
I think he's kind of like a jazz guy. Honestly,
we had a hard time recognizing the names. After walking
(24:33):
around for what seemed like hours, we spotted a crowd
all swarming around the one name that was recognizable, Henry Winkler.
I'll really really wanted a photo, but the weight was
way too long. I offered up the next best thing,
(24:57):
I can't get you a photo in front of Henry
Winkler because other people are doing that, but I can
get you Steve Schwartz. I had no idea who Stephen
Schwartz was, but at this point I was just tired
of walking around and my feet her. I guess on
the bright side, Stephen Schwartz wasn't close proximity to Henry Winkler,
(25:19):
and it was right outside of the theater where Hamilton's
was playing, So that was something I said, Okay, okay, yeah, okay,
say your bucket pet you Don'tay Schwartz, and then I'll
get Hamilton that crowd. Yeah, it didn't really feel like
(25:45):
we were with the acting community. It felt like we
were with a bunch of tourists, no offense. So that's
why we decided to move somewhere else. We needed to
find a local Hollywood haunt, you know, like a dive
bar or I don't know what kind of beanery. We
(26:09):
looked around for something that fit the bill, and that
is when we saw it, Starbucks. We would be immersed
in the Hollywood acting community. I could just see it now.
Actors sitting on couches, actors sipping on cappuccinos, actors talking Stanislavsky,
(26:36):
actors talking Meisner, actors talking little black box theaters, actors
printing outside. So as we walked in, this is what
we expected to see. And the thing is, we didn't
(26:58):
see any of that. Not only were there no actors
sitting around and reading their sides, there were no actors
sitting anywhere. It seemed that due to COVID, Starbucks had
actually removed all seating. In fact, they actually had little
signs that said you couldn't even lean against their counters.
(27:22):
And on top of that, they had actually hired a
security guard whose job was to usher customers out as
soon as they got their drink. Remember, we went to
the Starbucks so that we would be able to be
with our acting community, so we could feel like real
(27:43):
actors and then run our lines. And instead there was
no community. So the best we could do was to
go over the script while waiting line to order while
the security guards stared at us. And to make matters worse,
(28:09):
it was really loud. So honestly, the quality of the
audio that we got is not great. In fact, it's shitty.
WHOA I was about to go get some sup between
(28:31):
the prints they are a little too scary for me
right now. I love that he went back into the
French after I'm already checking the French. Sorry that you
had to listen to that. Hollywood turned out to be
a bit different than what we had expected. You see,
(28:51):
we thought it would be all community and dreams, and
instead it was a bit more Stephen Schwartz and being
escorted out of the Starbucks by a man named Caesar.
In other words, a disappointment, But hey, maybe that was
a valuable lesson in and of itself. You see, we
(29:15):
had gotten sidetracked and what we needed to do was
bring our focus back to the task at hand, acting
and now an ad break. The ad break is over.
(29:40):
Remember the point of all of this was to act
in a short film that would be good enough to
submit and be accepted into the Shock Horror Film Festival,
so we could eventually meet the festival director, Beep macromay,
and once and for all answered the question why am
I scared of this man? But I can't look away?
(30:04):
In other words, what's up with fear? So we needed
to hone or acting before the film shoot. Remember, during
the read through, I said I had an acting coach
in mind. Well, he was finally available to meet with us.
I didn't have any experience working with an acting coach
(30:24):
per se, but a friend of mine had taken an
acting class with the Sean and they wouldn't shut up
about it, so it sounded promising. We finally sat down
with the Sean id Sean, Yo, what's up? Do you
(30:52):
think you could just tell us a little bit about
like your acting experience? Well, I've been acting for longer
than I care to say. I have a degree from
the Juilliard School. Um. Juliard is spelt with two elves,
by the way. Um. A lot of people don't know
that this guy was good. We quickly got to Shaun
(31:18):
up to speed on what we were working on and
got right into it. You guys ready, Yeah, interior living
room night. It turns out what we've just seen is
a horror movie. Anna and Kyle are watching. They have
a big reaction to the kill. Sorry, can I can
(31:40):
I jump in now? Or do we want to do
the whole thing? And then oh yeah, Kyle, you're stiff? Okay, wow, okay,
do you see how when you were doing it, like
your neck was like straight up like like that, like
it was yeah, I think you're right. Okay, note take it.
(32:03):
Can I just say something out cheese? Hearing this feedback
from him was definitely hard, but anything worth doing is hard,
So I just took the note like a champion and
we continued to work on the scene. Now that we
(32:24):
had addressed Kyle's posture, we were ready to act. Here
we go, okay, yes, in here your living room night.
It turns out what we've seen as a horror movie,
and then Kyle watching they have a big reaction to
the killer whoa. Oh I mean I was about to
(32:47):
go get some food, but I'm sorry, guys, I have
to jump in. What's the intention behind the whoa? Well,
because we just watched someone get killed, So we're saying, whoa,
we saw something gruesome. You saw some think gruesome. But
it seems to me like with the whoa, you're trying
to let go of the wow, well that was crazy cool.
(33:08):
Let's let's go back to the next thing, you know
what I'm saying. Yeah, so you're like, yeah, my mind, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, okay.
So we weren't acting quite yet, but notes were important,
(33:29):
and now we got them so we could start acting.
Here we go again. Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. Okay.
It turns out what we've seen as a horror movie
and and Kyler watching, they have a big reaction to
the kill. Whoa, whoa? Oh I I mean I was
(33:58):
just about to go get some food, but maybe fridges
are a little scary for me. Right wait, I'm sorry?
Are you serious? We hadn't even started acting yet. I
know that this. It's just really important that you start
off on the right foot, you know what I'm saying?
All Right, I don't know. It sounds like a roller
coaster or something like that. Are you looking? Do you
feel like you're looking for more of like a matrix?
(34:21):
Kind of? Wow, that was better than what you're doing,
I'll tell you that. Yeah that yeah, even though I
don't know why you're thinking the matrix, but it's your imagination.
So if that works for you, great, Okay, I think
we got it. Okay, cool, let's do it again. All right.
(34:42):
It turns out we've just seen his horror movie and
then Kyla watching, they have a big reaction to the kill.
Oh wha? What do you think about that? De Sean
Kyle acting is supposed to be fun, and did you
hear that he did? Stop us? Here we are. We
(35:03):
were just about to get through the rest of the text.
I was about to go get some food, but maybe
fridges are a little too scary for me right there.
I love that he went back into the fridge after
already checking the fridge. That's literally half my day. Check
(35:25):
the fridge, check phone, check fridge, check phone, as if
anything new will pop up and make me feel better. Well,
I'm gonn jump in. What's going on here? Have I
been dropped into a different dimension? Is this some twisted
house of mirrors? How it was that I liked the woe?
(35:50):
Oh see, Kyle, Hey, take a step back from the ledge.
Let's okay, we got the woe. Let's just go from
the woe. Just say the wold one more time. And
I just want to see how you guys have been
transitioning from that. Great let's try it. Yeah, okay, okay, okay,
(36:14):
whoa wow? I was I was about to go get
some food, but maybe fridges are a little too scary
for me right now, huh. I love that he went
back into the fridge already checking the bridge. Yeah that literally? Sorry,
(36:40):
that was great. That was great. I had a thought
and I just put that I second guess through it.
Oh my god, that was so good. You were just
appreciating the brilliance of the of the film just now, Kyle,
which I which I understood. I was like, oh wow, okay, great,
but it's so innocuous that it's it's it's actually brilliant.
That's what I heard. Yeah, I think that really came across.
(37:05):
I agree, this was all nice and fun, but I
had been keeping my eye closely on the clock because
I don't know if you know this, but acting coaches
are really expensive. The first half hours complimentary, but after that,
good luck taking out a loan from the bank. We
(37:26):
had to say goodbye kind of abruptly. I actually think
we're at a time because oh no, we didn't even
get the whole page done. Yeah, well, I think I
think that, I mean, that gives us a lot to
work with. Well, at least you guys know that you're
gonna have a good woe and you're gonna have a
good first couple of lines. I don't know what you're
(37:46):
gonna do for the rest of the film, but we
so that was our acting session with the Sean. To
be honest, it was isn't what we had expected. We'd
expected to get through the whole script, but instead we
had learned how to deliver two lines. The shoot was
(38:09):
literally the next day, so we would just have to
make it work. You know, maybe that's just what acting is,
making it work exactly. Now. We would have to figure
it out because remember this, this was all part of
a bigger plan. We had set out to shoot a
(38:32):
short film that would hopefully be good enough to be
accepted into the Film Festival, which would allow us to
come face to face with Film Festival director Beep macrom
And then we would be face to face with fear itself,
(38:54):
and then we could ask the fear, why can't I
quit you? We didn't know then what we know now
now is the future. We are writing this Vio from
the future. Hi. Things would only get more complicated from
(39:19):
here on out. We had no idea what we were
getting ourselves into. We headed to the beach to talk.
It's beautiful. Um, that was a lot. Actually, Wow, we
(39:40):
did a lot. You really did do a lot. I
mean I didn't really all go the way that we
expected to. No, but seldom in life do things work
out that way. So I'm tired. I'm a little worried
because we have the shoot tomorrow, so shouldn't we I
just don't want to. I don't want to stay out
too late. No, I don't want to stay out too late. Yeah,
(40:02):
I mean, I'm excited for the shoot. I'm excited to
see how that turns out. Yeah, I gotta say, I
don't know. It's really starting to feel real, and I
just we don't even know where the festival is and
who this beat macer May is Like what if we're
doing something that's like what if we're gonna what if
we're putting ourselves in danger? I just I'm getting really scared.
(40:28):
I know, I honestly, I'm getting scared too. But I
just feel like we can't really we have to go
through the motions, you know, until we get there and
we'll figure it out. But I understand where you're scared.
I'm scared too. I think that I think let's go
get some shut I look, we get to be on
(40:49):
set tomorrow. I know, I'm excited. I got to get
my beauty sleep. You gotta get your beauty, sleep, your eyebags, memories,
my lines. I gotta remember it. I mean, I remember
the first two words, whoa, whoa. That was really good
good Actually yeah, damn, Deshaun is good. Yeah, good job.
(41:11):
I'm so excited. I'm so excited, really excited, and I'm scared.
I'm really scared. It'll be okay. I'm here for you. Okay,
let's go Okay. To be continued next time on Truthhounds.
(41:32):
You know what, we're going to make the short in
four hours. Something you probably can't tell right here is
that I'm actually terrified. Honestly, I have a confession. I
have a crush and you guys, you actually know him.
The pizza and salad had arrived, but it seemed like
(41:56):
no one on the crew scared. It's really interesting. I
really don't actors do this. Hike hard, really hard. How

Welcome to Truth Hounds, a production of My Heart Radio.
I'm Anna and I've been unemployed for two years now,
so I really have nothing going on. And I'm Kyle
and in middle school I received the ward most Enthusiastic
to learn. So that makes me pretty special. And that
(00:22):
is what makes us the perfect investigative duo. We are
two friends who love each other very much. What will
we love even more is getting to the bottom of mysteries,
all mysteries, short but small mysteries. Specifically, trust me, No
mystery is too small. No, no, no, Why don't you
trust me when I tell you we are ready to
(00:44):
sniff around? We are the the truth Hounds. Previously on
Truth Hounds, I would sit down with Kyle and show
her this website. M Deep macromy, the director of the festival,
(01:04):
looked terrifying, So that you know that feels like a
little I guess predatory. I don't um. People have been
canceled for less. I dare you to submit to this festival.
I'm a psychopath. Hello, Hey Kyle? Hi, yeah, hey, um,
(01:41):
it's Anna. Oh Hey, what's going on? Hey? Um? Are
you busy right now? I'm actually in the middle of
counting cash Oh cool, what do you got? I'm currently
on three. Oh that's crazy. I'm actually also counting gets.
(02:01):
I'm on four. Oh cool. Yeah. Um, so look, we
really actually need to talk. Oh, I'll be right there. Hikay, No,
(02:23):
it's okay. I mean it's soople. Do you remember the
guys who are fishing. I think those are the same guys.
Oh my god, I think about the same guys. That's
what I'm working with. You that their brothers or their friends.
Oh that's a really good question. I don't know, dude,
I don't know. I actually don't know what I'm seeing.
I know that the ocean looks beautiful, of the sky,
(02:44):
the land, whatever. But I literally am so tired. I
am so tired. Yeah that's why I yawned. What's going
on with you? Why? Honestly, since we start of this investigation,
I just like I stay up all night just thinking
about beat back from May. I'm just like fascinated but terrified,
(03:10):
but just I can't stop thinking about this May. Okay,
you know what the same thing is happening to me.
I literally can't sleep. I'm googling the guy to like
five am, because you know what happened, you know, last
week he said, what if he's weird? Yeah, I can't
stop thinking what if we meet him and he's weird? Yeah?
(03:33):
I think last night specifically, I was thinking, what if
we meet him and he kills us? Oh my Kyle,
I don't think he's not going to kill us. Well,
I don't know. We don't know him. We don't know
this man. And I feel like we're this is starting
to feel really serious and really real what we're doing.
I mean, we're this is what the second episode of
this investigation. It's the third episode of the season, but
(03:55):
it's the second second investigation. Yeah, oh my god. We
actually have a lot to do. So maybe we should
get going, but maybe we could nap in the way there,
or yeah, let's just maybe switch off driving. Okay, okay?
Episode three What is Fear and Why Can't I Look Away?
(04:19):
Part two? So we would continue with our plan to
meet Beep macromy and infiltrate his freaky little world, which
in turn would help us understand what is fear and
why we couldn't get enough of it. That meant making
(04:42):
a short horror film, submitting it to film festival, hopefully
getting in and attending it. Then that is where Beet
macromy would have to be because it was his festival.
I mean, if you had your own festival, you would
have to attend it. Damn. Can you imagine not attending
(05:05):
your own festival. It's actually kind of baller. We were
well on our way, we had a director and we
had some money, but there was still some stuff missing.
Our director, Clay informed us that at this point it
was probably a good idea if we got a script,
(05:27):
you know, so there was something for him to direct
help the guy out. You might remember our scriptwriters from
last season, Chloe and Josh. I started as the writer's
p A and worked my way up to writer's assistant.
So she's great in a room. I think they just
saw her and they bucked her up. We considered them
(05:52):
for the project, but they didn't feel right. They were
more Jerry O'Connell vehicle meats Sneaky Pete, which is super cool.
But we were trying to get into a festival, so
we needed someone who knew the festival circuit. Clay, a
(06:12):
brave director, suggested that we meet for the Alex. Alex
actually owed Clay a favor, so he was willing to
write the script. Site Unseen Alex had written a short
film which had premiered at Sundance. Ever heard of it? Um,
(06:32):
I've actually never heard of it. Anyway, we set up
a zoom to talk with this accredited script writer. Hello, Hello, Yes,
so Clay reached out to you and sold you in
a little bit. Yeah, he said, you guys are looking
for a short film script the horror. Sure, yeah, yeah, exactly. Um,
(07:02):
and just to just to kind of double check, what
are your qualifications? Um, I've written lots of shorts before.
No one of them went to the Sundance Film Festival.
Oh wow, wow. You might have just heard me say
wow right there. But I got to be honest, I
(07:23):
had no idea what he was talking about. I asked
some follow up questions. How many applications did they get?
Isn't it really hard to get into that they get?
They get? Uh? I would say thousands? Wow? Damn. He
(07:43):
was impressive. He seems like a good fit. Okay, well,
we are looking to make ultimately a horror short for
no budget. We told him a bit about who we were,
So Kyle's actually a horror movie buff. Yeah, and then
(08:05):
I'm kind of a more of a film head. Um,
so we like it to be kind of a mix
of both of those things. Like, for me, it's really
important that it has just a touch of a social message.
And this could be maybe a character size a line
that's like, um, I don't know, you know, and don't
(08:27):
drive drunk, you know, or whatever, very kind of I
wanted to be pretty clear. I know Anna like the
back of my hand, and I knew the types of
things she cared about, so I piped in, or like
taxes it's impossible to pay them? Yeah, yeah, something like that,
something like taxes aren't taxes, it's impossible to pay them.
(08:52):
Alex totally got it. Before we knew it, we were
having a full blown brainstorming session. But let's say, why
don't we go ahead and text the rich? Okay, yeah,
text the rich? Yeah, why don't we go ahead and
text the ridge? Or maybe it's a symbol on the table.
Next thing we knew we were basically in a Parisian
(09:14):
salon with Gertrude Stein, Like maybe it's like the pills
on the table represent Oh actually, maybe you should have
both of those things. Maybe literally a direct line of
dialogue that's like, what do you think about taxing the rich? More?
And then also very heavy symbolism in the object work.
(09:37):
Oh god, past the croissants. So if that could yeah,
that could be written to the script. Yeah, definitely, maybe
right into the script that like the you know, there's
a um, there's a big bottle of pills on the table. Yeah,
so maybe there should just be a really big bottle
on the tag on it says, you know, it costs
(10:00):
so much money. It's like, who can afford that? Healthcare?
Is really expensive? Yeah? What an inspiring exchange of ideas.
This was basically a thought bizarre in Paris. I'm glad
we got that clarified. But now it was really important
for us that I was heard animated, sure of it?
(10:25):
Um and then ver Kyle, I think it's really important
that it's really scared scares uh, scares galore. So there
you go. Okay, good, I'm glad I was heard. Sometimes
I feel like no one can hear me that I'm
so small and I'm walking along a busy street hugging
(10:48):
at people's pant legs. Hello, I'm down here, can you
hear me? Hello? Anyways, we finished up the conversation because
we had definitely given him enough to work with. Yeah,
I guess um, if you could kind of get on it,
(11:12):
that would be realized. The timeline I think, yeah. I
think the last time we talked to Clay it was like, well,
shooting in two weeks, and that was maybe a week ago. Okay, yeah,
literally one day past and we had the script. I
(11:34):
guess this guy, Alex Clay a big favor. So here
it was the script still hot from the oven. I'm
just kidding. That's not how that works. I know things
(11:55):
are getting really good, but we have to take a
break for some ads, and the ad break is over.
Back to it. We were so excited, I mean, we
wanted to start shooting our short horror film right there
(12:17):
and then. But Clay, our director, had other thoughts. He
recommended that we do a read through, which I guess
is a pretty standard Hollywood procedure where you read over
the script. We went back to the place that we
all know and love, zoom. I think Alex did a
(12:43):
really good job. We didn't waste any time. In fact,
Kyle and I hadn't even given the script a good read.
We jumped right into it. Into your house kitchen night guys,
looking into the fringe, lit only by the French light.
He pokes around, nothing seems appetizing. Scary knock at the door.
(13:07):
He closes the fridge and cautiously it approaches the front.
I need to do if you're living room night. It
turns out what we've just seen is a horror movie,
and um, they have a big reaction to they kill WHOA.
(13:33):
I was about to go get some food, but fridges
are a little too scary for me right now. I
love that he went back into the fridge after already
checking the fridge. That's literally half my day. Check the fridge,
check phone, check fridge, check phone. If anything new will
pop up A big, big heel better. Yeah, being in
quarantine is like being stuck in a time loop exactly
(13:57):
the same day over and over again, except and keeps
going and we get older. It's cool, very cool. They
go back to watching the movie. But knock, knock, knocks,
scary knocking at the front. Boor uh did you order food? No,
(14:17):
you're not expecting anyone. Who would I be expected? And
it gets up and grabs a face mask. What are
you doing checking the door? I don't think you should, Kyle,
You're being crazy. Please don't open the door. You're just
scared by the movie. There's nothing scary happening, long tense
walk as Anna walks through the door and looks through
(14:38):
the people. Oh my god, Oh my god, what is it?
And it looks back at cow with horror. It's a
package from Amazon, my god, and it picks it up
and brings it in. I know, I know it's bad
to order from the Amazon. Could you please lock the door.
The script was amazing. It was brimming with social messages,
(15:04):
so I was happy for some reason. And shop sticks
have stabbed her in both of the eyes. She's dead
the end. I mean, it's amazing, this is amazing. I
love that you hit. You kind of hit for me.
You know that Amazon should be paying more taxes. Yes,
(15:27):
very very current, very currents boarding or meeting to have
like a message, Absolutely, I don't. I mean, it's just
it's perfect. Yeah, the social messages were good, but remember
I needed to be heard, and that meant it needed
to have the right kind of scares. You see. My
(15:51):
favorite thing about scary movies is that they always do
the unexpected. Like in a normal movie, people just walk forward,
you know, one foot in front of the other. But
in a scary movie, people are walking every which way.
(16:12):
Sometimes they even walk backward, you know, one foot behind
the other. This is something I knew I wanted in
our film. Have you ever seen a shot in a
horror film or creepy figures dart behind a character in
the foreground. Well, Anna and I wanted to be those
(16:35):
creepy figures, and we wanted to be running backward. I
brought it up with Clay and he definitely was on board.
He did have a worry though. Now my main worry
is if you run too fast, you might hit the
wall that is standing is right there, and that one,
(16:58):
I say, if you ran fast enough, can knock ye out.
So I was maybe we can offer maybe run another way.
Maybe two people running at the same time as distracting enough.
You don't know what's going on. Your eyes are overwhelmed,
so that could buy us a little bit of time,
enough to run quite so fast, so we won't run
into a wall, but so that we're doing it at
(17:22):
the same time, that's just two people, that's more powerful.
They'll get a little distracted. Okay. Like any good director,
Clay kept brainstorming. He had so many ideas about running backward.
I think for me as a director, I would want options,
so I would want you running every which way maybe Okay, Yeah,
(17:44):
I was gonna say, we could get maybe just an
option where we're running actually toward the camera. Yeah, that's
maybe not we're running away. That would be a homage
that they fat train that that went into the audience,
so undience early film. I also like the idea of
the running being really heavy, so it being very like
(18:07):
like really like fat thick sound, you know, not like
hit your pattern, but just like in that case, I
would recommend bringing your heaviest pair of shoes and men,
we we can wet them down absolutely. Before we set
our goodbyes, we asked Clay one more thing. We wanted
(18:32):
to do a good job acting. I mean, can I
be honest? This was both my and Kyle's dream to act.
I mean me, Anna, I want to stand on a
beautiful stage, spotlight right on me so you could really
(18:56):
really see the outlines of my face. I want to
look dead head into the audience and say take me
into your arms and show me the world, and then
kick me out and leave me for dirt, the dirt
that I am me. Kyle, my dream was to be
(19:19):
in a big blockbuster comedy, you know, the type of
movie where I play every single character in the movie
and at one point we're all in the same room
and we're running into each other and we're like, no,
I'm Kyle, No, I'm Kyle. Hey, which one of you
(19:40):
Kyle's did that? I'll never tell Hio. Yeah, that's my
dream anyway. Yeah, we wanted to act. Kyle had an
idea and she ran it by Clay. Anna and I
were thinking about maybe meeting with an acting coach to
(20:01):
just really get our rolls down. Do you think that?
Would you advise that? I would definitely advise that anything
that gets you comfortable instead, I think an acting coach
wouldn't be great helpful with that. Anyway, we finally ended
the Zoom. Thank you guys so much, and She's awesome sauce.
(20:23):
The read through was a complete success, and actually I
had the perfect acting coach in mind. However, he wouldn't
be available until the day before the shoot, so we
decided to focus on other things. We knew that we
(20:45):
would eventually have a quality product on our hands. But
I have to say something, and that is acting is
not a product. It's not something you can purchase at
a store. It's not something you see in a window
(21:06):
display at Macy's. Run inside and say I'll take three
of those. Acting is an art and to act is
to be an artist. And the thing about us is
we are really good at doing work, but we're were artists.
(21:32):
I don't know what I mean to say. Is I
know how to put together a schedule, rent a table,
hire a screenwriter, But am I anna an artist? We
didn't have the answers to such complicated questions, but we
(21:53):
did have a huge advantage. If you know what is
practically in our backyard. Yeah you the listener sitting there
all cute in your beanie. Our backyard is Hollywood. We
make this podcast in Hollywood. Do you know what Hollywood is?
(22:19):
It's the genesis of acting. This is where you come
to act. Every day, thousands of people come here to act,
and well, we're already here. We had a hometown advantage.
I know that it's taken a long time to get
(22:40):
to our point, but one, what else is new? And
two here it is we live in the mecca of acting, Hollywood.
We needed to be with the acting community. We needed
to feel gitimized. So we came up with a mini
(23:03):
plan we would make a pilgrimage to the heart of Hollywood, which,
as everyone knows, is the Hollywood Walk of Fame. We
figured this is where actors were hanging out doing their
you know, actor things. We got into my car, drove
(23:24):
for an hour and a half, and paid thirty dollars
for parking, and finally we were there the heart of Hollywood.
We stopped to admire some of the names on the
stars adorning the sidewalk. I'm sorry, but can I just
say it was so exciting to see all of the
(23:48):
stars because it really made you think maybe one day
my name would be there. We took a look at
the names to game. Delbert Man, Delbert, don't remember that? Dorothy,
(24:10):
I don't know that. I really don't know that. Okay,
A oh, I say wait, deep proved back. Who's that? Um?
I think he's kind of like a jazz guy. Honestly,
we had a hard time recognizing the names. After walking
(24:33):
around for what seemed like hours, we spotted a crowd
all swarming around the one name that was recognizable, Henry Winkler.
I'll really really wanted a photo, but the weight was
way too long. I offered up the next best thing,
(24:57):
I can't get you a photo in front of Henry
Winkler because other people are doing that, but I can
get you Steve Schwartz. I had no idea who Stephen
Schwartz was, but at this point I was just tired
of walking around and my feet her. I guess on
the bright side, Stephen Schwartz wasn't close proximity to Henry Winkler,
(25:19):
and it was right outside of the theater where Hamilton's
was playing, So that was something I said, Okay, okay, yeah, okay,
say your bucket pet you Don'tay Schwartz, and then I'll
get Hamilton that crowd. Yeah, it didn't really feel like
(25:45):
we were with the acting community. It felt like we
were with a bunch of tourists, no offense. So that's
why we decided to move somewhere else. We needed to
find a local Hollywood haunt, you know, like a dive
bar or I don't know what kind of beanery. We
(26:09):
looked around for something that fit the bill, and that
is when we saw it, Starbucks. We would be immersed
in the Hollywood acting community. I could just see it now.
Actors sitting on couches, actors sipping on cappuccinos, actors talking Stanislavsky,
(26:36):
actors talking Meisner, actors talking little black box theaters, actors
printing outside. So as we walked in, this is what
we expected to see. And the thing is, we didn't
(26:58):
see any of that. Not only were there no actors
sitting around and reading their sides, there were no actors
sitting anywhere. It seemed that due to COVID, Starbucks had
actually removed all seating. In fact, they actually had little
signs that said you couldn't even lean against their counters.
(27:22):
And on top of that, they had actually hired a
security guard whose job was to usher customers out as
soon as they got their drink. Remember, we went to
the Starbucks so that we would be able to be
with our acting community, so we could feel like real
(27:43):
actors and then run our lines. And instead there was
no community. So the best we could do was to
go over the script while waiting line to order while
the security guards stared at us. And to make matters worse,
(28:09):
it was really loud. So honestly, the quality of the
audio that we got is not great. In fact, it's shitty.
WHOA I was about to go get some sup between
(28:31):
the prints they are a little too scary for me
right now. I love that he went back into the
French after I'm already checking the French. Sorry that you
had to listen to that. Hollywood turned out to be
a bit different than what we had expected. You see,
(28:51):
we thought it would be all community and dreams, and
instead it was a bit more Stephen Schwartz and being
escorted out of the Starbucks by a man named Caesar.
In other words, a disappointment, But hey, maybe that was
a valuable lesson in and of itself. You see, we
(29:15):
had gotten sidetracked and what we needed to do was
bring our focus back to the task at hand, acting
and now an ad break. The ad break is over.
(29:40):
Remember the point of all of this was to act
in a short film that would be good enough to
submit and be accepted into the Shock Horror Film Festival,
so we could eventually meet the festival director, Beep macromay,
and once and for all answered the question why am
I scared of this man? But I can't look away?
(30:04):
In other words, what's up with fear? So we needed
to hone or acting before the film shoot. Remember, during
the read through, I said I had an acting coach
in mind. Well, he was finally available to meet with us.
I didn't have any experience working with an acting coach
(30:24):
per se, but a friend of mine had taken an
acting class with the Sean and they wouldn't shut up
about it, so it sounded promising. We finally sat down
with the Sean id Sean, Yo, what's up? Do you
(30:52):
think you could just tell us a little bit about
like your acting experience? Well, I've been acting for longer
than I care to say. I have a degree from
the Juilliard School. Um. Juliard is spelt with two elves,
by the way. Um. A lot of people don't know
that this guy was good. We quickly got to Shaun
(31:18):
up to speed on what we were working on and
got right into it. You guys ready, Yeah, interior living
room night. It turns out what we've just seen is
a horror movie. Anna and Kyle are watching. They have
a big reaction to the kill. Sorry, can I can
(31:40):
I jump in now? Or do we want to do
the whole thing? And then oh yeah, Kyle, you're stiff? Okay, wow, okay,
do you see how when you were doing it, like
your neck was like straight up like like that, like
it was yeah, I think you're right. Okay, note take it.
(32:03):
Can I just say something out cheese? Hearing this feedback
from him was definitely hard, but anything worth doing is hard,
So I just took the note like a champion and
we continued to work on the scene. Now that we
(32:24):
had addressed Kyle's posture, we were ready to act. Here
we go, okay, yes, in here your living room night.
It turns out what we've seen as a horror movie,
and then Kyle watching they have a big reaction to
the killer whoa. Oh I mean I was about to
(32:47):
go get some food, but I'm sorry, guys, I have
to jump in. What's the intention behind the whoa? Well,
because we just watched someone get killed, So we're saying, whoa,
we saw something gruesome. You saw some think gruesome. But
it seems to me like with the whoa, you're trying
to let go of the wow, well that was crazy cool.
(33:08):
Let's let's go back to the next thing, you know
what I'm saying. Yeah, so you're like, yeah, my mind, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, okay, okay.
So we weren't acting quite yet, but notes were important,
(33:29):
and now we got them so we could start acting.
Here we go again. Yeah, let's do it. Let's do it. Okay.
It turns out what we've seen as a horror movie
and and Kyler watching, they have a big reaction to
the kill. Whoa, whoa? Oh I I mean I was
(33:58):
just about to go get some food, but maybe fridges
are a little scary for me. Right wait, I'm sorry?
Are you serious? We hadn't even started acting yet. I
know that this. It's just really important that you start
off on the right foot, you know what I'm saying?
All Right, I don't know. It sounds like a roller
coaster or something like that. Are you looking? Do you
feel like you're looking for more of like a matrix?
(34:21):
Kind of? Wow, that was better than what you're doing,
I'll tell you that. Yeah that yeah, even though I
don't know why you're thinking the matrix, but it's your imagination.
So if that works for you, great, Okay, I think
we got it. Okay, cool, let's do it again. All right.
(34:42):
It turns out we've just seen his horror movie and
then Kyla watching, they have a big reaction to the kill.
Oh wha? What do you think about that? De Sean
Kyle acting is supposed to be fun, and did you
hear that he did? Stop us? Here we are. We
(35:03):
were just about to get through the rest of the text.
I was about to go get some food, but maybe
fridges are a little too scary for me right there.
I love that he went back into the fridge after
already checking the fridge. That's literally half my day. Check
(35:25):
the fridge, check phone, check fridge, check phone, as if
anything new will pop up and make me feel better. Well,
I'm gonn jump in. What's going on here? Have I
been dropped into a different dimension? Is this some twisted
house of mirrors? How it was that I liked the woe?
(35:50):
Oh see, Kyle, Hey, take a step back from the ledge.
Let's okay, we got the woe. Let's just go from
the woe. Just say the wold one more time. And
I just want to see how you guys have been
transitioning from that. Great let's try it. Yeah, okay, okay, okay,
(36:14):
whoa wow? I was I was about to go get
some food, but maybe fridges are a little too scary
for me right now, huh. I love that he went
back into the fridge already checking the bridge. Yeah that literally? Sorry,
(36:40):
that was great. That was great. I had a thought
and I just put that I second guess through it.
Oh my god, that was so good. You were just
appreciating the brilliance of the of the film just now, Kyle,
which I which I understood. I was like, oh wow, okay, great,
but it's so innocuous that it's it's it's actually brilliant.
That's what I heard. Yeah, I think that really came across.
(37:05):
I agree, this was all nice and fun, but I
had been keeping my eye closely on the clock because
I don't know if you know this, but acting coaches
are really expensive. The first half hours complimentary, but after that,
good luck taking out a loan from the bank. We
(37:26):
had to say goodbye kind of abruptly. I actually think
we're at a time because oh no, we didn't even
get the whole page done. Yeah, well, I think I
think that, I mean, that gives us a lot to
work with. Well, at least you guys know that you're
gonna have a good woe and you're gonna have a
good first couple of lines. I don't know what you're
(37:46):
gonna do for the rest of the film, but we
so that was our acting session with the Sean. To
be honest, it was isn't what we had expected. We'd
expected to get through the whole script, but instead we
had learned how to deliver two lines. The shoot was
(38:09):
literally the next day, so we would just have to
make it work. You know, maybe that's just what acting is,
making it work exactly. Now. We would have to figure
it out because remember this, this was all part of
a bigger plan. We had set out to shoot a
(38:32):
short film that would hopefully be good enough to be
accepted into the Film Festival, which would allow us to
come face to face with Film Festival director Beep macrom
And then we would be face to face with fear itself,
(38:54):
and then we could ask the fear, why can't I
quit you? We didn't know then what we know now
now is the future. We are writing this Vio from
the future. Hi. Things would only get more complicated from
(39:19):
here on out. We had no idea what we were
getting ourselves into. We headed to the beach to talk.
It's beautiful. Um, that was a lot. Actually, Wow, we
(39:40):
did a lot. You really did do a lot. I
mean I didn't really all go the way that we
expected to. No, but seldom in life do things work
out that way. So I'm tired. I'm a little worried
because we have the shoot tomorrow, so shouldn't we I
just don't want to. I don't want to stay out
too late. No, I don't want to stay out too late. Yeah,
(40:02):
I mean, I'm excited for the shoot. I'm excited to
see how that turns out. Yeah, I gotta say, I
don't know. It's really starting to feel real, and I
just we don't even know where the festival is and
who this beat macer May is Like what if we're
doing something that's like what if we're gonna what if
we're putting ourselves in danger? I just I'm getting really scared.
(40:28):
I know, I honestly, I'm getting scared too. But I
just feel like we can't really we have to go
through the motions, you know, until we get there and
we'll figure it out. But I understand where you're scared.
I'm scared too. I think that I think let's go
get some shut I look, we get to be on
(40:49):
set tomorrow. I know, I'm excited. I got to get
my beauty sleep. You gotta get your beauty, sleep, your eyebags, memories,
my lines. I gotta remember it. I mean, I remember
the first two words, whoa, whoa. That was really good
good Actually yeah, damn, Deshaun is good. Yeah, good job.
(41:11):
I'm so excited. I'm so excited, really excited, and I'm scared.
I'm really scared. It'll be okay. I'm here for you. Okay,
let's go Okay. To be continued next time on Truthhounds.
(41:32):
You know what, we're going to make the short in
four hours. Something you probably can't tell right here is
that I'm actually terrified. Honestly, I have a confession. I
have a crush and you guys, you actually know him.
The pizza and salad had arrived, but it seemed like
(41:56):
no one on the crew scared. It's really interesting. I
really don't actors do this. Hike hard, really hard. How
