Explorers of the unknown and podcast enthusiasts from every
corner of the globe, welcome to a journey like no other.
I'm your host, Erin McCann, and I am absolutely thrilled to

(00:57):
Hello and welcome to Something About the Ice, a monthly behind

its origins, recap previous episodes which have aired, learn
about the show's cast and creators, and make sure to
address some listener questions.We wanted to release the

of our fans and give a sneak preview of what they'll receive

(01:19):

With two seasons completed and Season 3 underway, half a dozen

We're starting our podcast this week with the show's creator

(01:39):
Brian Bradley, as well as voice actors Trent Shemway and Kyle
Brown. Future episodes will have other
cast members on a recurring basis.
Make sure you listen to the fullepisode for a very exciting
announcement from award-winning writer, voice actor and show
creator Kyle Brown. OK, so let's go ahead and get
into it, gentlemen. I'm going to have you introduce
yourselves and tell the fans just a little bit about who you

(02:02):
are. We're going to start with my
dear friend and my scene partner, Mr. Trent Shumway.
Welcome. Thank you.
Hi, I'm Trent Shumway. I'm one of the voice actors on.
I agree. SI am a voice over actor
obviously, and I'm also in the visual effects industry for
television, film and commercialsand the like.

(02:25):
I've been working in production for about, I don't know, 30
years and I've been doing, I think, podcasting, I want to say
about six years. Is that right, Kyle?
2015 Baby. Is that right?
OK, so 2015, there you go. So yeah, there you go.
I I needed help on my introduction, so that gives you
every indication that I am not an intelligent.

(02:48):
No, not at all. No, that's perfect, Trent.
Thank you. And then we're gonna move over
to my fellow Formula One enthusiast, Mr. Kyle Brown.
I am sleepy Joe Biden. I don't know what I'm doing
today. Oh boy, I'm there.
We're getting there now. Strong start now Strong.

(03:08):
Cool. Thank you.
Thank you, Aaron. I am a fellow Formula One
enthusiast. I did see the Ferrari sticker on
your on your drink from yes. Andover, we're actually going to
make this a Formula One podcast,but I didn't know this was
happening. Probably kid more listeners.
So yes, fellow Formula One enthusiast, sometimes writer,

(03:29):
full time buffoon Kyle Brown. I think you have a few other
redeeming skills, but we'll talkabout that as we get into it.
Dick jokes but I'm trying to keep it clean.
Listen, listen, this first episode is for everyone, so
we've got to do whatever we can do to get people.
To stops. Yeah, absolutely all.
Right. Yeah.

(03:49):
OK. And then our fearless leader,
Mr. Brian Bradley. Hi everyone, I'm Brian Bradley.
I am, I am the responsible partythat keeps on throwing out
content and, and mucking up your, your podcast feeds every
couple of weeks. I do, I do apologize for that.

(04:09):
I am the, for whatever reason, I'm the one that all these
people kind of look towards to, to figure out what's going to
happen and what's to, you know, be sad.
And, and I just, I, I don't, I don't get it.
Someone just said, Hey, here's 20 bucks.
Can you just kind of sit here and, and, you know, try to try
to just deflect all the questions and hey, it was 20
bucks. What was I going to?

(04:30):
But I think it was your 20. Yeah, you paid yourself for this
one, Brian. You you might be right.
I was drinking a lot of the. Time so.
Yeah. Did you notice that the minute I
introduced Brian, suddenly he switches into his audio voice
and it's like deep and Yep, Yep,I noticed that.
Super sexy. I do the same thing.
I definitely have the same thing.
I got no idea what. You guys do now say.

(04:53):
Show your. Role.
So for this show, we've got a handful of questions sort of
just about the origin of the show, the direction of the show,
And then we're also going to move into listener questions at
the end for all of our episodes.We're going to have both of
those segments, but starting on episode 2, we'll actually start
recapping some of the episodes that have aired.
So just for everybody listening with us today, we're not doing a

(05:13):
recap today, but from episode 2 onward we will.
So why don't we just jump into these show questions.
And Brian, we are going to startwith you.
So when you were coming up with the concept of 90° S and kind of
drafting the early parts of the story, why did you set your
story at the South Pole and kindof how did this whole story come
to be about? So I wanted to do a podcast, you

(05:40):
know, ever since I, I really figured out what a podcast was.
It started out with, Of course, most people will remember
Serial, the true grandpa, kind of the, the grand or actually
grandmother of podcasts that came out.
And then I, you know, I jumped into true crime and once I had
gotten into everything, I kind of I discovered the show.

(06:00):
I don't know if you guys have heard of it or not.
King Falls. Hey, hey.
I'm not. Yeah, it was, you know, it was,
it was actually pretty darn awesome.
But I started listening to that COVID hit.
And when COVID hit, you know, I was, I was like, like many of us
were struggling for something todo.
So I said, hey, let me, you know, let me write something

(06:22):
down. You know, I've, I've, I've
listened to that, that the show I mentioned, I can't remember
now what it was. Let me reach out to some of the
guys there and, and, and, and let's just see if I can get some
tips and tricks and there's kindof some input on, on what, you
know, how to do it. You know, they, they embraced me
in a, in a, in a very questionable.

(06:42):
Way now we are here. Yeah.
No, it was. It was anyway, so you know what
they, they, they encouraged me the whole time, the setting
itself, the, the, the South Pole.
And I think I've talked to otherpeople about this too.
I just that, you know, really I,I have this memory of when I was
a child back in, back in Emporia, KS, my dad who was

(07:05):
military, wanted to buy a new car, was a station wagon.
So I'm pretty sure it wasn't hisidea, but the guy at the
dealership said, hey, it's on a Sunday.
I will stay late. You know, we, we honor our
servicemen and women here had tocome home, get my, my little 2
year old butt drove me to this, this, you know, car dealership,

(07:25):
which may implore you. It's on the far side of the
town. So it's dark.
It's Sunday, it's like 7 to 8. It's in the winter.
There's a fog rolling around. And for just that little kid
sitting in a 1976 lobby with, you know, the wood panelling
walls and it smells like 1976, you know, with cigarette trays

(07:47):
and you know, it just it, it in the shack carpet.
I was, I was alone by myself. But you know what, it was just
so cool. The world's out there.
I know the world's out there. But for just that little bubble,
it was just me, my pop in the other room and the car guy that
wanted to get the Commission. But it's just it's that setting
where you can have a world at your fingertips, at your arms,

(08:09):
but after that, the world is just not there.
You have to go looking for it. Kind of like that other show I
was talking about King Paul's. It's it's, you know, all their,
the majority of their episodes were like 2-3, four in the
morning. You knew people were out there,
but most people were asleep. And it's just the world was then
theirs. The world was theirs and it was
theirs to command. And it just, it was, you know,
such an awesome feeling. Trent and I have talked about

(08:30):
that. Some of our, you know, the thing
he and I share a special bond onthat.
The one up in Barrow, Alaska, 30days of night, you know, where
it's just you got your setting, but that there is no world
beyond it. So I think that that's a very
roundabout way of just saying I was on a lot of medication at
the time. Now, I think you bring up a cool
point. Isolation is sort of an

(08:52):
interesting concept, isn't it? Because it allows your brain to
be a little bit more creative where there's less noise and
less distraction, and then you have the ability to sort of
analyze how much you do or don'tneed human contact.
So I don't think I would have thought of it that way, but very
cool. Agreed.
No, thank you. Good point.
Thank you. Very, very cool.
OK, Trent, so you mentioned thatyou've been doing voice acting

(09:15):
for quite some time now, and you've been on several different
shows. I've heard you on one of the
shows that we mentioned, King Falls AM.
I've actually spotted your voiceon other random podcasts that
I've just kind of come across. What attracted you to this show
and why did you decide to lend your voice to it?
If I remember correctly, Kyle called me and I had met Brian,

(09:38):
the one of Kyle's classes he wasdoing.
So I just popped in to say hi and and and kind of get my
support on that. And that's like the first time I
ever saw or heard Brian. And but Brian was doing artwork
for like every episode of our show.
There was like this amazing one panel that encompassed

(09:59):
everything of the show, like literally all the best jokes,
the best gags in one panel. So Kyle calls me one day and
goes, look, there's a fan of theshow.
I think you met him online. He's he's doing his own podcast.
I don't think he's going to callyou though, but he'd, he'd love
to have you on it. And I said, sure, you know,
I'll, I'll, the guy's a good dude and he, he's an amazing

(10:21):
artist. I'll, I'll call him and see what
happens. And figured I'd do like a one
off or something. And so we connected and he sent
me scripts and immediately I went, wait a minute, no.
That Wait a minute. Yeah, this.
Is really good. Wow, this is this is really

(10:42):
good. And he was like, look, pick
anybody you want. And so I did and I called him
and said I want to be every malecharacter until you tell me I
can't do them. And he's like, that feels right.
Yeah, like. I I want to be them all.
That's the that's the casting process with Mr. Shumway for.
Yeah, I'm like, but I know at some point you're going to go,
no, that one's cash or that one's not, you're not right for

(11:02):
that. But so I'll just throw a wide
net, cast wide net out there andsee what see what I can write
in. So at that point we just started
talking and it was like, OK, youcan be the lead and you can do
this and you can do that. And so I, I mean, once I started
reading the scripts I was in, I was like, I have to be a part of
this. And I think I even told him, if
you don't let me be a part, I'm going to come and find you.

(11:24):
So. Is that how it works?
Is that how you get on a show that's like?
The best strategy Just threaten people.
Just threaten people. OK, I'll literally do every
character. I don't want any other cast
members and if you don't like that, I am pretty tough.
I feel like that makes scheduling more convenient
though 'cause it's just like Trent, you just block the whole
day, 'cause we don't have to getanyone else in there.

(11:44):
No, no. I mean, there's we, we have a
extremely talented cast. As a matter of fact, we have, I
think five or six, no, seven people who do two or three
voices each at least. So, you know, I'm, I'm not the
only one doing, you know, doubleduties on this thing.
There's, there's a lot of peopledoing incredible work and the

(12:07):
variety and in the versatility and the range that everyone is
able to pull off is, is incredibly impressive.
So, but that's how I got involved.
Well, you just segued really, really nicely because my next
questions for Kyle and Kyle, youdo actually play 2 characters
and they have pretty different personalities.
So tell us about we have, you know, that I have a great

(12:31):
affinity for firefighter Fred Ferguson because you asked me
one time you were like, really? It's Fred that you like.
I'm not no, no, I love Fred. But then you also have ITIT
station specialist Emery Waters.How did you kind of settle in on
the voices and personality for those two very different
characters, and which one is your favorite?

(12:51):
I mean, Fred is my. Favorite for sure out of see.
I I get to, I get to be unhingedwith Fred and, and, and, and,
you know, there's a lot of stuffthat that hits the cutting room
floor and it's probably best that way.
But I do enjoy a nice bread rant.
But yeah, you know, I'm just realistically tagging into what
Trent said. You know, Brian reached out to

(13:13):
me. Brian was a huge part of the
King Falls AM community. We had a beautiful, beautiful
community over. The beautiful, beautiful
community. The best community.
Some would say. Some would say.
Some would say the best community, but we did have a a
wonderful online presence and and such a beautiful community
of folks. And Brian was a big part of that
like that, like Trent mentioned,he would throw out little,

(13:34):
little posters and everything for episodes that would come out
there and, and he eventually said, Hey, man, I'm doing
something. Would you be interested in just
just giving me, you know, takinga look at it?
I think was that was the actual conversation.
And I read the first episode. I'm like, Oh, this is, this is
not, this is not, this is not just I, I dream of putting a
podcast out. This is, I've put some hard work

(13:56):
and thought into this thing. So realistically a Long story
short, I'm just trying to serve the story.
You know, I, I, I will say I do try to maximize my minutes, You
know what I mean? If I can sneak a joke, you know,
I'm trying to serve the story. But if I can, if I can add, add
some giggles in there. I, I, I definitely try to read
the room and see what I can add into it.
But yeah, it's just it's servingstory and the story's
phenomenal. Agreed.

(14:18):
Definitely agree. Trent, let's bounce back to you.
So kind of talking a little bit more about character
development. As you mentioned, when you read
the script, you're like, right, I want to be the lead and then
I'm going to be everybody else that you let me.
Let's talk about Bass, though. So I've noticed many of your
characters on the shows you've been on are quirky.
They've got these very distinct voices.

(14:38):
They're very, very unusual and memorable.
And in contrast, Bass is almost more of kind of the straight
man, right? He's got more closer to your
normal speaking voice. He is someone you might actually
meet in real life versus kind ofthese, like, quirky characters
that you've voiced in the past. Tell me a little bit about the
development of Bass. And then in a future episode,

(15:00):
we're going to dive into kind ofthe evolution of his
relationship with Kendra. But you can touch in on a little
bit of that, too, and kind of how he's changed over the
seasons. It's funny you mention it
because I think the first thingswe landed on were the quirky
ones at the right. I mean, because Brian, I and A
from that point on, like once westart to communicate, I don't
think there's been more than a few days that goes by the way we

(15:22):
haven't talked to each other. Like we talked to each other
practically every day. And immediately we were just
like two kids with, you know, their toys.
And it was like your buddy is bringing over all the cool
stuff. You didn't get that Christmas,
but you got all this other cool stuff and and you were just kind
of playing and bouncing back andforth.
And the first things we landed on was all the quirky stuff.
If I'm not, it was bass was we we I knew I wanted to do but

(15:47):
weren't sure on him yet. And we we played around a couple
different voices. And then one day we just started
talking about Kevin Conroy and and his Batman voice.
And he said, you know, why don'tyou just do you, but just get a
little lower register and, you know, give me that kind of scary
voice when he needs to be serious.

(16:08):
And we I think we messed around with him definitely the longest
out of out of all the characters.
Everybody else was kind of, oh, that's maybe not true.
Actually. There's a couple new ones there.
We played around with three. But yeah, he was bass was like
we knew we wanted him to be a kind of stoic sounding dude.
And and yeah, he was kind of no nonsense.

(16:31):
And that was actually challenging because on falls and
and anything else I did, it was pretty much, you know, do
something not cartoony or too. Exactly.
Yeah, definitely wild, definitely quirky.
So it's a great contrast to be able to pull off someone that
was like, and and like Brian, you know, does incredible
amounts of research and his dialogue for everything is, is

(16:54):
thoroughly researched to where you sound official.
And you, when you're doing brassdialogue and you're rattling off
terminology and stuff, you're going to sound like you know
your shit. And, and it's really cool
because you can hear as you're doing going, wow, that's
actually sounded pretty good. If I had to write it, it would,
I'd be like, I'm going to go getthe bad guy, you know, lock him

(17:18):
up, put him in the pokey. But no, we, we just kind of
bounced around between differentones and and figured out which
ones we wanted, you know me to do.
And then there's a few that we recognize.
All right, well, can't do that one.
And then a couple I think I gaveaway.
It's like. Give that to him and and, and
we'll, we'll see what happens. And then magic, like there's a

(17:40):
few that Owen got to play that I'm I'm sad now that I that give
that to him, but at the same time I couldn't pull off what
Owen does on that so. Right.
I can answer your question. Absolutely it did.
Kyle, before you mentioned something about some of your ad
libbing kind of landing on the cutting room floor.

(18:01):
Now I, I've actually been told Ihave this on pretty good
authority that there are some bloopers from this show that are
available to our Patreon subscribers for 90° S and they
they possibly showcase those ad Lib abilities.
So definitely worth checking out.
But you in your own career, haveyou actually done any stand up?

(18:21):
Have you done any improv? Is that a part of your history?
So I had AII, was in an improv group before I moved to
California. There's about seven or eight of
us. It was called permanent
detention. And we did live shows, we did
video, we did videos. Some of them are still out
there. And it was just such a great
time. I've always wanted to do stand

(18:41):
up. It was my dream to either be a
professional wrestler or to workon SNL.
So since one of those didn't work out, I've tried to.
I've tried to do as much SNL INGas I can on my side.
There's still time, Kyle. Never give up on your dreams.
I don't know about that. You know, I can I jump in with
you. I don't want to, I don't want to

(19:02):
throw everything for a loop, butI I want to jump on to Trent's
question because I know you know, going back to the maximize
our minutes, Trent, when you were playing in the different in
a different lifetime, when you're playing all the many
characters you played in King falls, it was we were always
trying to literally one up the joke.
Always. How do you do that in your

(19:24):
process with bass? Are do you just is it just and
and be, you know, just let me know like do you do you just
like, is it just everything thatBrian has written?
Are there times where you're like, let me see if we can
elevate this somehow all? Right.
I mean, I, I never think of it as elevating it.
For the most part it's it is exactly what Brian has written.

(19:46):
Occasionally there will be just a subtle change maybe or a
suggestion, but it's it's prettyrare with bass because he is
pretty much no nonsense. But typically what ends up
happening is we will like, I'm athree take kind of guy.

(20:06):
Like the sweet spot for me is third take for sure.
And we will do at least two as it's written.
And then the third take Brian and then you, you two were, you
know, King Falls were also very open to the idea of like, look,
if you can improve upon it, do it.
Doesn't mean we're going to use it, but every, you know, every
idea is, is is open on the on the page.

(20:27):
Once we got it, we got it. Let's see, once we got it, we
got it and let's see what happens.
And and that Brian's always beenvery open to that.
And there's been times with basswhere we will maybe add a little
bit something. But mostly it's what's on the
page with him because most of the stuff he's doing is so it's
like it's not clinical, but it'syou know, it's like it is.
There's a lot of jars very stoicand even when I think there's

(20:50):
maybe there's a lot of jargon, there's a lot of jargon and and
and it sounds official and it's got to be fit.
And for a dyslexic dumbass like myself who struggles through
through, you know, dialogue, sometimes I find that I have to
kind of lock into it and really try to hit it, but then come
back and go actually said that word wrong.
I'm like, which one was that? It's like the.
Oh, sorry. I, I don't know what he said.

(21:15):
I don't know that he knew what he said.
You know, I just, I, I, I, no, you know what it, it's, it's I,
I disagree with the majority of what Mr. Schumer just said
there, especially with Bass and,and, and many, many, most of the
other characters that he does play.
There will be times where we'll be, you know, either right
before we, we jump to the scene where he says, hey, I, you know,

(21:36):
I kind of question it at this point.
Bass says this, wouldn't he say this?
And, and sometimes it, it is actually, you know what?
That is a damn good point. I think, I think he honestly
would or as we're recording, youknow, and I've seen him do this
numerous times where we record and he hasn't in his head.
He won't always vocalize it. It's take two, take three.

(21:59):
And then finally he's like, let me just I'm going to I'm going
to throw something at you. If it doesn't work, it doesn't
work, but I'm just going to throw.
And a lot of times what he throws out as bass as as you
know, seek as Wayne, whomever, it's actually really good.
There are many takes that make it into air that we're not on
the page. So, you know, for for those

(22:23):
individuals that say it's all onthe page, I don't agree.
Well, I agree or disagree I guess.
So Brian, since we've kind of got to your attention here, do
you do you think of our show as a drama show, a fiction show,
maybe science fiction? What genre would you put the

(22:44):
show in 'cause it kind of touches all of them and and how
long do you see the story going on?
I think it, it has elements of all the above.
It's it's definitely, you know, science fictiony.
I mean that, that, you know, maybe comedy, skirting,
paranormal comedy fiction. You know the the you know, we

(23:06):
have, we have spoiler alert, we have demons, we have Bumbles
ultimate. Reality.
Ultimately, yeah. So it it but I mean, there is
absolutely 100% a ghost. We have a a spirit Caribou
dancing wind spirit. I it it skirts kind of all over

(23:27):
the place. And that's I don't I don't like
to be tethered as just comedy orscience fiction or because I
think that is doing a disserviceto the story that could be told
because you can cross over. You know, we, we have aspects of
Rome. We definitely have aspects of
romance. We have comedy, mystery, drama,
political intrigue. I can't, I can't do that joke

(23:51):
yet because it hasn't aired. I actually, I I kind of called
myself to the map on that in lieu to reference of another
show that aired. I'll leave that for, you know,
when it comes up. But I, I would say if you know,
I would call us a smorgasbord of, of menu items, that would
be, you know, a, a show that you, if you are a fan of

(24:15):
romance, we got you. You're a fan of comedy, of
science fiction, we got you political intrigue, we got you.
We're we're something. For every little something for
everybody. You're sort of the Taylor Swift
of podcasting. You can do every genre.
I definitely don't have anywherenear the talent that looks
boyfriend or the. Boyfriend, though, Yeah.

(24:36):
Yeah. OK.
And then how long do you think, how long do you see the show
going? We're on season three so far.
So each each season is half a year in our show.
So one full year, our time is two seasons their time.
I'm thinking probably it's goingto be about a five year run.

(24:57):
So I would say that would probably put it anywhere
between, I say probably like 8 to 9 seasons is, is probably
what I'm gunning for. I, I see.
Yeah, that's, it's definitely I,I have the end of the story in
mind. I know how it's going to end.
I know the key points along the way, the milestones along the

(25:20):
way that I'm going to, I need tohit.
So yeah, I would say probably 7-8, maybe 9.
OK. And that actually leads me to
another question, which I think is equally for Brian and Kyle,
since both of you have written multi season successful audio
fiction podcast. You just said I know how it's
going to end. I know some of the plot points

(25:41):
along the way. I'm assuming you have not
written every single script for eight or nine seasons.
How to talk just a little bit about kind of what that process
looks like and how you set thosetargets and know that you've hit
your major plot points and keep that story moving.
The The chair refers to the gentleman from California, Mr.
Brown. I have a question for you,

(26:05):
Brian, in regards to this as well.
So take that, motherfucker. Answer that question.
Worth a question. Realistically, I did want to
know so I know how it was on falls and unfortunately we did
not get to the end of falls to too much to everyone chagrin.
A cast, crew and fan alike. But I do have a question.

(26:26):
I know when things worked in King Falls, like when it went
from page to recording and you're like, oh, this is
something we can run with. Have you encountered that sort
of thing where it's like you hita character or a plot point that
just seems to resonate past you,past the paper, past the cast to
the audience, where it's like, OK, we can actually we can amend

(26:48):
something here. We can shift things this way
because I think that's where thethe magic of it all comes in,
right. Like, we've all got an idea of
what, like, you know, we know where it starts, we know where
it ends, right? But I love the magic in the
middle of it where you're just shifting around and and finding
those sweet spots that that you enjoy, the cast enjoys, the
audience enjoys. Have you found those?
So absolutely in in our ongoing,you know, tennis match on this

(27:13):
one question, I will bounce it back and and to say firefighter
Fred, Firefighter Fred was supposed to be a one and done
character. He was supposed to show up for
one scene, you know, do his little spiel, be be
misogynistic. And then we were never going to
hear from him again. He was going to cycle off at the
station at the end of the season, like many do.
And then you came. You kind of gave Fred, you know,

(27:35):
his own flavor. I had very much in my head.
I had more of like a, a Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force, you
know, kind of a, a, you know, character in mind kind of that,
you know, aged older, you know, but beyond his prime, but he
doesn't know he's beyond his prime character for Firefighter
Fred. And when you came in, you just

(27:56):
knocked it out. And I said, there is no way I
can get rid of this character. This character will continue to
come back. But, you know, I, I think the,
the, the, the, the, the same canbe said for a lot of the
characters that were there. You know, I, it's Jovak again.
Jovak was supposed to be our, our big heavy next to wing,
right next to wing, right. Jovak was supposed to be our big

(28:16):
heavy and was going to get into it fast.
And then when Trent came out with that voice for the first
time, he just became such a beloved character that you know,
it's it's I could not see a losing him and be having him be
the heavy. So I had to create another
scientist just out of, you know,either Gustav Van Sant who was
going to be kind of that that jerk, you know, not to the

(28:39):
Wainwright level jerk, but you know, it's it's definitely there
have been times where, you know,I know where things need to hit.
I know where we need to land, but there are the nuances.
I will be the first to say yes, the, the major points are major
points, but sometimes the biggest thrill, the biggest

(29:01):
kudos you can get for those little things that, you know,
the casting inspired you to, to do, the cast inspired you to put
in there. You know, we, we get so many
people to this day, you know, talking about the end of, of
season 2. I won't spoil it in case anyone
hasn't listened to it, but just the, you know, the, the, the

(29:22):
tone that it ended on resonated with so many people. the IT guys
are, are fan favorites. There are a couple of detractors
out there. It's just, it's not, it's not
their cup of tea. And that's OK.
That's you know that it's not for.
Are they on Reddit? These detractors.
Let me know I I, I will make no comment upon where I have been

(29:43):
told that they are. But yeah, so it's, it's while
the story is flushed out, I findthe story maturing and evolving
every time I sit down in front of the keyboard.
And that, I think is really whatkeeps me coming back.
Not just, I mean, I definitely it's, it's, it's the voice
actors, it's the talent, it's the, the, you know, the love

(30:06):
that they have for this, for this, you know, little stupid
wacky thing that I put together.But it's just seeing these
characters mature and kind of get a life of their own where
you know, it's, it's you know, they, they almost become like
family in, in, in strange sense.Yeah.
Yeah, I love that. Well, we're going to jump a

(30:27):
little bit to kind of another segment.
Just a reminder that in future episodes, we will use this space
to start recapping and kind of diving into the details of the
episode. But we're not doing that in this
first one. We're moving straight into
listener questions. So everybody make sure that you
stay tuned at the end for Kyle'sbig announcement.
We're going to give him some space.
And then just a reminder too, I mentioned, you know, this first

(30:49):
one, we're not doing the recap. But I also want to mention this
first episode is for everyone. It's for all of our fans, but
starting on our second one, we will be moving behind a paywall
for this particular podcast. So if you're loving this episode
and you want to hear more about how the show's created and hear
from the voice actors, be sure that you join and contribute.
And you can find that Patreon page for 90° S by going to our

(31:10):
website, which is the number 90°podcast, alloneword.com.
If you scroll all the way down on the homepage, you'll find the
link to join the Patreon. So we're going to start with
some questions from Patreon and then a few questions from other
places that listeners sent them in from.
A few people asked multiple questions.
So we will be sure that if we don't get to your question in

(31:31):
this episode, we will definitelyget to it in a future episode.
So let's go ahead and get started.
This is from Elle Link over on Patreon.
And this one can be for everyone, in fact.
Elle. Elle.
Way to go, Elle. This questions for anybody or
actually all three of you shouldprobably answer.
What is your favorite reference to another piece of media in the

(31:53):
show that either no one has gotten or just like a couple
people have gotten? And actually that's, that's I
won't, I won't go too long. So, so the other guys can
answer, but I'm gonna, I'm gonnakind of take the sword on this
to let them percolate their answers.

(32:14):
You know, it's I, I, I definitely write for an older
audience and that's just becauseI am an older guy.
So a lot of the references that I put in I'm, I'm really worried
that I'm skewing to an older demographic.
You know, definitely I will put in, you know, some 1980s
nineties slang that, you know, I, I, we grew up with, you know,

(32:37):
seek all the time. Will, you know, keep on saying
snap. I don't think any of the kids
today have ever you know, have you ever heard that?
You know, it's, it's just, it's,it's some of those things that I
put in it. A lot of the references that I
do put in people get, you know, the, the whole, you know, the,
the tip of the half, the allusion to Diane from that
bass, you know, marriage to fromTwin Peaks.

(33:00):
I I have peppered my show with lots of MASH references because
growing up, that was the show towatch in our house.
That was our, that was our golden Girls for from the, the
Brown house, you know, definitely that was the show we
liked, you know, and just, you know, one or one or two things
that we'll throw in. But for the most part, when I,

(33:22):
when I tend to skew old, I definitely feel my age and, and
90% of the time, no one, I'm sure there are people out there
that got it. They just don't, you know, hit
us up to say, Hey, we got the reference.
Brian, what's your favorite thing that hasn't that nobody
said yet that that is seemingly unfound?
Oh my God. No spoilers, of course, but

(33:46):
yeah. Yeah, no, that's Oh my God, put
me on spot. Oh, oh, oh, oh, well, I and
again, I'm not sure that anyone has because I remember calling
up Trent. I'm like, oh, should I do this?
Should I do this? Should I put it?
And he's like, yeah, you're weird.
The answer's always yes. All right, last episode and it

(34:06):
will not be a spoiler if there are those that have not yet
gotten to this point last episode, season one where you
know the season is ending. They're getting everything
together. I very blatantly and I I did not
try to allude that it was mine. It, it, if you are a fan, you
will pick up on it like that. The speech from aliens where,
where Sergeant Apone is giving orders to the crew as they're

(34:29):
trying to get it. And I, I mean, I, I blatantly
lifted those lines and was like,I just let me, let me, I'm not
trying to play dress. I'm trying to give credit where
credit is due to those who came before me, but also because that
scene is and I think I just toldstrength.
So that's. Definitely my.
That was definitely my. Yeah, I think that that that
would be the one. So Kyle sits so we can give

(34:50):
Trent more time to come up. Oh no, I'm sticking.
I'm sticking to my answer. I'll get.
Go ahead. Yeah.
I look at it this way though. I mean, to me, it's, it's, it's
almost like hip hop where, you know, sampling is done and
suddenly you, you know, nowadaysit's, it's easy to figure out
where we came from because you had the Internet when we were
kids, you know, you had no idea unless you happen to have those

(35:14):
records or whatever. So to me, it is kind of like
that where you're throwing in a sample and and tipping your hat
to your James Cameron's or whoever in in this case.
I mean, we're huge fans of aliens and, and, and the thing
like he was talking about like, and we're pretty much convinced
that Brian and I were probably separated at birth at some
point. My mom is not confirmed that she

(35:36):
she denies it vehemently, but she's not, I don't know.
It's, it's she ever been to kind.
It's my friend insane. That's that's the thing, isn't?
Even us that question, yeah. But and we it's, it's scary
sometimes how much we think alike whatever.
And or he'll say something like,God, I was just thinking about
that. And yeah, when he called me and
said, I really want to put in that, that whole bit with the

(35:57):
loading dock. I'm like, do it, do it, do it,
do it, do it. Because I mean, I can't see
anyone getting offended by it. It's like it's, it's literally,
you know, a tip of the hat to one of the greatest sequels, if
not films of all time. So that's my answer to.
Nice, Kyle. I'm going to say something
completely self-serving here andI, and I don't mean it in a, in

(36:20):
a mean way at all, but I, I, I am honored by the little King
falls Easter eggs that that Brian has put into the show here
and there, whether it be a name or a little line here and there
or something like that. I, you know, when writing King
Falls and tagging into what Trent is saying, I love a pop

(36:40):
culture reference. I live a pop culture reference.
You know what I mean? And, and not only that, not as
it is a little, a little wink and a nod to the folks who get
it, but it's also, it's also in my life.
It seems like we're, we're building this story in the same
universe 'cause if we can reference it, that means it's in
this universe that we all know, right.

(37:00):
So I love an Easter egg in that sense.
And, and again, very humbling, very honored by the fact that
Brian would throw in little KingFalls AM references 'cause I
mean, you know, the obviously the, the show means the world to
me still to this day. So like I said, very
self-serving, but, but it's verytrue.
Like every, every time I hear a little, a little KFM reference

(37:22):
or something like that, I'm like, that's, that's cool, man.
I, I appreciate that. Well, the show is important to a
lot of us, Kyle, and so it's exciting to get to revisit it in
little pieces and, you know, as a listener and as a cast member,
when we hear those and see those, it's it's a smile on our
end, too. Definitely, definitely.
OK. Our next question is from Tatum

(37:44):
Adams. This is also from Patreon.
Hi, Tatum. Tatum would like to know just
how much of the cast's personalities end up in the
characters. So she said she knows that Trent
is a big horror fan and there have been mentions of horror
movie marathons and makeup, which she thought was really
cool. So how much of Trent or Kyle
makes it into these characters? Well, am I answering first?

(38:10):
I guess with Bass, I don't thinkthere's.
I mean, yeah, the makeup thing for sure.
But like, Bass is he's he's someone you you, you know, you
kind of wish you were. But the same time, knowing all
his deep, dark secrets, I'm gladI'm also not him.

(38:30):
Sure. But yeah, there was He he
started writing Wolfman stuff inthere and I'm like, God damn it.
Bradley All right. Well, if we're going to do this,
then we're going to, we're goingto, you know, shout out and, and
tip a hat to Jack Pierce. Because if you're going to
mention, you know, something about the Wolfman makeup, it's
like, well, then you got to you got to talk about the guy who
literally changed and and, and to this day, his designs are

(38:51):
being used for the classic monsters of all time.
So if that's any indication of my personality, yeah, I'm horror
guy. I guess.
I guess Bass is too. With the other characters.
I don't know. I think there's a little of me
and all of them, sure, but I don't know.

(39:15):
I'd say the quirky ones are probably closer to me than than
the stoic lead for sure. That's fair.
That's fair. And then, Kyle, is it safe to
assume that you and Firefighter Fred are essentially the same
person? Yes, 100% the same person.
Misogynist. Or none.
No, it's interesting because I remember, I remember reading the

(39:35):
initial lines for Firefighter Fred and I saw that there was a
lot of meat on the bone for comedy, obviously.
But also I was like, you know, this guy, he, he's reading like
kind of a prick 'cause he is a prick.
And I'm like, I wonder if we canfind a little bit of heart
'cause you know, when, when I'm trying to do something, you
know, realistically, like if I'mwriting my own thing, I, you

(39:55):
know, you can be one thing, but nobody is just one thing.
There's a lot of other colors and a lot of other flavors in
that one thing. So I try to find something there
writing wise. To, to like, yeah, he's a
bastard, but also here's this portion that's not.
And I tried to bring that to the, to the, to the firefighter
for a guy. I'm not saying I've got a big
heart or a great heart or anything like that, but I did

(40:17):
try to find a little bit of small, like there's a good guy
in there saying bad things. Does that make?
Sense Yeah, two things can be true at the same time.
Exactly that. OK.
This next question is specifically for Brian.
And it's a little bit more serious than some of them that
we've kind of talked through so far.
So Brian, could you please startcalling your mom more often to

(40:40):
check in? And then second question, will
women who raised you and kept you alive for 18 years have to
pay for future episodes? And this is from a Deanna
Bradley. I'm not.
I'm not sure if you know her. Yes, we, we, we do not
discriminate. Everyone will will have to to

(41:01):
pay equally to to get on the show.
There's there's no nepotism on the show.
Thank you. You're getting written.
You're going to be written out of the will.
Yeah, for sure. Your poor mom.
OK, let's see. Trent, this one is from you, for
you. And this is.
From Trent, you put in questionsfrom?
From Trent, Mr. Someway. How did you get to be so

(41:22):
handsome and so talented? It's.
Just Trent looking in the mirrorand monologuing for the.
Top hour. Now that's all.
Right. OK.
Actually you kind of touched on this a little bit earlier, so
we'll go into more detail, but Ido want to make sure I credit
this question. So this is from Dig Dug Dang
over on Facebook. I love Dig Dug.
Dang, Dang, you say? It is Dig Dug.

(41:43):
Dang. It is a great name I.
Used to love Dig Dug. That was a great name.
OK, Trent, is there any voice that you have come up with that
didn't make it onto the show? And, and this can be for any
show that you've worked on. Oh God.
Yeah. I'm afraid of this answer just
by the way. There there's been a couple, but

(42:05):
it kind of taking on to one of the pals answers, which was, you
know, it wasn't right for the story, and if it wasn't right
for the story, then it it didn'twork.
And that's my, like, I don't, I don't want to use filters or
anything on, on, on my stuff. I, I don't like pitching my
voice up or down. I if, if the voice can't come
out of me, if the sound can't come out of me, then we'll find

(42:25):
something else. And if I'm not right for it,
then we'll find someone else. And but there's, there's been a
few characters that and I'm a pain in the ass too.
Like I, I will, I second guess everything.
So I will call Brian. We've recorded like an entire
episode. And then two hours later I'm on
the phone with him going, I don't know about that one, but I

(42:46):
don't know. I don't know if it works.
And he's you sure? I, I don't, I don't know, man.
And he's, let me, let me edit itand I'll send it to you and then
we can talk. But I mean, if you're dead set
on it, we can adjust. But we could also maybe just
listen to what you did. And like I said, I'm a pain in
the ass. So it's, it's I, I think there's

(43:07):
been at least we've had at leasttwo or three characters,
especially recently. We had one, we just, we just
did, we recorded it almost the entire episode.
Almost. And I like the voice.
We, I think we both like we did.However, it just didn't feel
right. And I second guessed it and
called him almost immediately and said, I just, I don't think

(43:30):
that's it, man. And I told him like, you know, I
think that character needs to becooler or something.
So I'm at work and I get a text and he types in, would this be
cool? And he typed in a suggestion and
I went, well, yeah, that goes a different direction.
Let's try that. And then so we, we recorded it
recently and we both agreed like, that's probably more long

(43:51):
lines what we want to do with that guy.
But we'll save the other one foranother time.
I've been trying to push a Mike Lindell voice on both these
guys. For their different.
Shows I'm like, look, I got it in the hopper.
We use them and they're, I don'tknow, man, like maybe eventually
sure, you know, but yeah, and, and every once in a while I'll

(44:13):
just call like on falls. I've I've called those guys that
I called Eric and Kyle constant and go, what do you think about
like a Tom Waits or, and I'll call Brian and go.
I want to do like this kind of voice.
It's like, all right. And and you know, it works out.
It's like, OK, well, we'll kind of, we'll build off of that or
we, oh, we got someone just in mind for that, you know, and,

(44:35):
and they'll throw a character atme, so.
Are these calls coming through at like appropriate hours or is
it like the 3:00 AM like I can'tsleep, I've got to call Brian
kind? Of there's been numerous times I
forget the time difference and Ithink there's been a couple
drunk dials that I've done with.Yeah, we.
Need to record those I think. I need to.

(44:57):
Hear a drunk a drunk conversation where you're
workshopping a voice? I think that's another Patreon
here. Patreon fans.
You two can cancel. Everyone on.
This call, it's just a couple bucks.
Couple bucks and a couple of bottles send in our way.
Send a three by five card to 555.
You are up next, Brian. This is from Cassandra 4348 on

(45:21):
X, which we all used to call Twitter back in the day.
Talk about a aged reference now.Sorry, no, I'm not either.
I'm not going to. Let's be subscribed.
To the brand. It's not X, We're not.
We're not doing it. OK, Brian, so Cassandra assumes
that you write the dialogue for the female cast members, and
they think that it's hard to tell if a woman or a man wrote

(45:43):
this. So do the female cast members of
the show agree? I guess I probably need to take
this question as the female castmember in the room.
You're the only one. Yeah, I would say, well, First
off, let me just say thank you. That is an awesome compliment.
Agree. I, I, I hope whoever I am
writing for, be it male, female,non binary, of one persuasion or
another, one religion or another, that I, I am able to do

(46:06):
a justice in that nothing I put to paper, nothing that makes it
to error comes across as condescending or disrespectful
or cliche his name, right? But you know, I, I definitely
want to make sure because we have many voice the world, we
have many voices. We have many, you know many

(46:27):
viewpoints, and I want to make sure that I do each and every
one of them the utmost, You know, nothing but the utmost
respect. Unless you're from Missouri, in
which case you were dead to me. No, that's fair.
That's fair. But so, yeah, no.
So you know Aaron, I guess, yeah.
You, you would be of the four ofus, the only one that can really
answer that question. So please.
Well, I, I mean, I agree. I don't, I don't think that it

(46:49):
reads that a man wrote it. Don't don't think it reads that
a woman wrote it. I don't find the dialogue at all
to be stereotypical or cliche. I think an area where you really
excel in your writing is leaninginto the relationships.
So it's not that it's gender specific or anything like that.
It's it's really more about clearly establishing who the
characters are. And I know, you know, in the

(47:09):
scenes that that I've been a part of, my scene partner is
Trent. And the longer that we work
together and the more scenes that we have together, what we
see is the relationship that Fiona and Bass have had and the
longevity of that and the deep friendship and how they care
about each other and tease each other.
And she gets mad at him. That's what reads through, not
gender specific. It it could be anyone.

(47:30):
And I think that that's the way that it's supposed to be.
Thank you for that good answer. OK, last listener question for
this episode. This is from Morph Tastic on
Facebook. Are you guys familiar with Morph
Tastic? Love the name?
OK, I. Like it?
OK, so Morph Tastic asks, is there really a poop bandit on
the station? Or is it a way for Mikhail to

(47:53):
sneak around and find ways to give sitcom advice?
What a critical question. Because the sitcom advice is its
own running theme. It's it's essentially a subplot.
It's actually why I tune into the show.
It's just to see what we can learn from our sitcoms.
So yeah, I mean, is there truly a bandit out there?
Is this just a plot device? Make no mistake about it, there

(48:16):
is indeed a poop bandit and you will be found Poop bandit, mark
my words. There, yes, there is a poop
bandit. I, I, I will save this story for
for another day when Mr. Brown is not able to join us.
But it there, there was a time in my life where we had a poop

(48:41):
bandit. And anyways, Long story short, I
know who the character is. I am the only one.
There have been major, major plus major secrets, major little
things that I've had to call up the cast members and say, look,
your, your character knows this.Your character acknowledges
this. But the, the you know, the
listeners will not know about this for another year.

(49:01):
But as you're portraying your character, you need to know this
so that you can incorporate thatinto, you know, how your your
character acts, reacts, thinks. And I did that very early on.
I have not told anyone my own wife does not know who the poop
and it is. So if there should be something
and, and you know, all you, all you haters out there, I guess if

(49:23):
you truly want to know who the poop and it is, pray that you
know, I never get a cold or a a disease or get hit by a truck
because that's secret. Unless I put it in the show and
I will towards the end, we'll never see the light of day and
no one will ever know who the poop and it is.
I know. You're like George RR Martin.
You've got it locked away and some like vault somewhere and no

(49:43):
one's got the key to it. George RR Martin also had a poop
bandit though, so be careful right now.
I think, yeah, I think that was in West.
So thanks. Thanks Aaron.
You just spoiled it. It's tear your Lannister is the
is the poop bandit. So.
Sorry I ruined everything for everyone.
All right, but no, no, yes, there there is a poop bandit.
The listeners will find out ultimately and and our our Chief

(50:06):
Detective Mikkel will discover it.
I'm, I'm so happy for Mikhail tobe able to have a resolution.
I know it's really been very upsetting for him.
You know, I, I do want to actually come back to something
you said a moment ago, Brian, not to like just totally move
from the comedy, but you were talking about how you write
things and the character knows things, but the voice actor may
not know that yet. And it made me think about a

(50:27):
scene that I have early on and I, I won't reference it because
it kind of, kind of leads itselfto the Season 2 resolution.
But there was a certain way thatthe dialogue was written.
And I tried to play it the way the dialogue was written and
didn't, I'll be really honest, Ididn't really understand why it
was written that way. But I tried to follow
directions. And then I got to the end of
Season 2 and I'm like, Fiona knew that.

(50:51):
So I just, I think it's really interesting that you found a
way. I did not know, Aaron did not
know, but Fiona did. And the way that you wrote that
made that very clear. So that's that's a neat trick.
That so that particular and I know exactly what you're talking
about and yes, that was one the character you play, Fiona was
has always been one of Bass's biggest, you know, leaners onto

(51:13):
one of not supporters support system.
You say thank you, perfect support system.
So the last thing she wanted to do was to, you know, kind of
poke him, you know, with a stickabout this.
So, you know, she knew he neededto handle this to the point that
it was, you know, and and she'd been waiting and and it, you

(51:34):
know, you know, thank her, you know, for she would have waited
for a very long time until he hewas able to approach.
So, yeah, it it's and that therewas a reason why I didn't tell
you is because I needed you to portray that as if she I didn't.
I wanted to make sure that at nopoint when that was when there
was something to be referenced with that.
And there was no little slip or no, because the listeners are

(51:56):
not, you know, thick. They're they're not, you know,
foolish. They're not dumb.
They pick up. There have been many things they
have picked up on and have triedto ask me about and I've always
just tried to let you know Bob and weave.
But that was one I just because it was going to be our huge
review and it was right. So I needed to make sure not
that I was keeping you in the dark, attention.
No, no, not at all. But I was keeping you in the

(52:17):
dark, attention. I know when I figured that out,
when I was listening back and I figured it all out, my mouth was
just hanging out. But I was like, oh, that was so
clever. OK, so we do have a final piece
of business that we have to takecare of here.
So we've been teasing this wholeepisode that Kyle's taking this
platform as an opportunity to make a very exciting and special

(52:37):
announcement on something that he's been working on.
So, Kyle, I hand the floor over to you.
Well, my gosh, guys, thank you so much for that.
And I'll try not to bore all of you too much with, with, with
the talk of the new stuff. I, I also don't think you could
talk about the new stuff withouttalking about the old stuff.
And I, and I'll just cover that very quickly.
You know, First off, there wouldbe no new stuff without these

(52:59):
gentlemen here that are sitting there.
Trent and Brian, you know, when the old stuff abruptly ended.
You know, I think, I think us asa fandom, we were all hurt by
it. And I think sometimes, and not
to get into the weeds here, but I also think that sometimes the
folks they're sending out those tweets or sending out those
Facebook messages also forget like we lost the show too.

(53:21):
You know what I mean? Like, nobody wanted to end the
show. Nobody wanted to, nobody
envisioned when we started this thing in 2015 that it would
suddenly end the way it ended. Because I really realistically,
we all thought we were just getting started.
We were hitting on all cylinders.
But it is something that I absolutely love.
It is something that I absolutely adore.
And in a, in an alternate universe, it's something that

(53:42):
would still be going on right now.
But that's not the case in this universe.
In this universe, you know, I looked at it as getting knocked
off the horse and needing to getback up on it again.
And it took me a long time to get back up on it.
Brian actually reaching out to me to read his script was kind
of the first start of that for 90° S because I, I really was

(54:05):
like, I'm not doing this again. Not just not because I didn't
love it, because I absolutely dolove it.
I love writing. I love playing with my friends
every week. I love the reaction that it
gets. I love being able to talk to
people about it and just sharingand creating a community around
something, right? Like that's, that's the biggest
thing to me. And I'm sorry if I'm already
rambling guys, no. No, you're good.

(54:28):
But but yeah, Brian, Brian passing that script over to me
and being like, hey, man, I really, I really respect what
you did. Which would you mind taking a
look at taking a look at this? That that was like, oh, that's
interesting. You know, because Brian and I,
I, I, I do, there's a lot of folks that, that from the falls
that I consider true friends. Everybody in this call, you know

(54:48):
what I mean? But Trent and I were the only
ones that worked on it. But I, I've met so many people
through the Internet, through the live shows, through whatever
that I consider personal friendsand I'm blessed for that.
And, and I'm appreciative of every single person that I'm
talking about right now. But but yeah, Brian sending me
that was like, oh, maybe there was something to it.
You know what I mean? Because I, I'm someone who

(55:08):
doesn't, I, I grew up, again, not to get into the weeds.
I grew up not thinking too much of myself and being told not too
much of myself. So when I'm told good things, I
tend to shy those off. And when I'm told bad things, I
tend to eat it up with a spoon because that's what I believe or
believed, if you will. But Brian kind of gave me that
confidence to be like, oh, you want my opinion on this?

(55:31):
Like, you know, you, you want tohear about this.
And then I gave him some notes and we started having those
conversations. And like, I was, I was very
lucky. I felt very lucky and very
grateful to be brought into the,the not the planning of the
show, but like, as it was first starting to get on the runway,
like Brian's like hop on man. And that gave me a lot of
confidence to continue telling stories that I wanted to tell.

(55:55):
You know, I, I had written a fewthing.
I, I always write something for it.
Generally speaking, I'm writing for myself every time I write,
you know, because if I don't like it, who else is going to
like it? But I had a couple different
stories, had a couple of different stops and starts
during the pandemic. But there was this one
particular story that, and I'll just go ahead and say it.
I am a lifelong professional wrestling fan.

(56:18):
And I can, I can hear, I can hear the pin drop.
I'm a lifelong professional wrestling fan.
I, I, I started watching it whenI was like four or five years
old, my grandfather. And it was a every week thing.
I got to sit next to him. And so, yeah, my grandfather, I
don't know that he ever knew before he died that the
wrestling was fake. So it was a very entertaining
way to watch wrestling as a kid.And of course, you know, as you

(56:40):
grow up, you fall out of it. But, but also in the late 90s
when I was a teenager, not to date myself, wrestling was in a
huge boom, huge boom, the biggest boom it had ever had or
it ever had since when I was a little kid in the 80s.
And, and I just fell back in love with it.
And, and, and, and so to get to write a story that is a love

(57:01):
story to something that I've loved all my life that I wish I
could have been a part of. I'm so excited to do it, but I'm
even more excited to do it with my friends who honestly, as I'm
pitching this to every single one of these guys, both the ones
here and everybody else, all theall the all the guys, gals and
non binary pals on the new show Reno Championship wrestling.

(57:21):
They I, I always said the same pitch, like it's going to be
weird, but if you get past the premise, I think you'll dig it.
And every time they read the script, they're like, this is
great, this is wonderful. And, and you know, I don't take
compliments well, but I was like, man, if they didn't, if
they didn't hate it, maybe otherpeople really dig it too.
And we've just put together an amazing cast, amazing crew, lots

(57:44):
of familiar voices. Like I saw, you know, I, I was
lucky enough to be able to, to tell folks what it was that I've
been working on for the longest time.
I did that back in June and June17th to be sure.
No, no reason to pull that date.And but, but yeah, so I, I threw
it out there and, and as I was talking to people and like

(58:06):
seeing the excitement at #1 it, it meant the world to me.
The fact that people are still willing to show up, you know,
after the way the last one endedor did not end.
So that that means that meant a lot to me.
That means the world to me. But then also it was like, well,
who's going to be in? Oh my gosh, I'm praying for like
a NOAA and a Trent cameo. And I was able to say we're

(58:27):
doing better than a cameo. These these guys are leads in
the show, you know what I mean? And there's there's people that
we've never met before. There's two voice actors that we
the the it's their first time voice acting that are just going
to knock people's socks off. So again, I say this pitch that
I said to my actors, if you can get past the premise, I think
you're going to dig it. But yeah, Reno Championship

(58:48):
Wrestling, it's set in 1994. So it is a period piece.
It's set and right before those years of the big boom of
wrestling that I was talking about.
So there's a lot of like, I don't, I don't want to say
historical drama to it, but we are living in a world that
happened. So with fictional folks.
So there's a lot of, there's a lot of fun that can be had with

(59:08):
that. But it's just been, it's meant,
it's meant the world to me. And I know I'm rambling now.
It's meant the world to me to beable to tell a story set in in
the world that I love so much, that has given so much to me and
that I hope that I can. If people don't watch wrestling,
that's great. You don't have to watch
wrestling to get it. But if after the the 1st 13
episodes of season one, if they if they like, you know what, I

(59:32):
get it. I get why people like this.
I get then then I've done my jobproperly.
When does it kick off? When can we look for it?
Summer 2024, Summer 2024, we, we've got a lot in the can.
We've got a lot of stuff that's already basically locked and
it's going to music right now. But yeah, just to be safe.

(59:53):
Summer 2024 it'll be the same release schedule as as King
Falls AM was on the 1st and 15thof every month.
Like I said, the first season is13 episodes because 13 is my
lucky number. And man, I hope everybody
listens and I hope everybody digs it.
If not, you know, I'm sure there'll be something else
afterwards. But yeah, I'm.

(01:00:14):
I am so excited, I'm thrilled, and I am delighted that you
picked this show to share all ofthose details.
Well, Brian, thank you so much for letting me share those
details on this show. It's.
