Have you ever felt the rhythm of life through your soul? Join us as Leta, a 13-year-old autistic dancer with severe dyslexia, captivates you with her stories from the world of tap dance. From her passion for urban and Hollywood culture to her adorable puppies and the thrill of the upcoming DC Tap Fest, Leta’s journey is nothing short of exhilarating. Despite facing technical setbacks with live streaming, she shares vivid experiences on stage, highlighting the poetic essence of dance. With unforgettable moments alongside mentors and fellow dancers at SoleTalk, and her favorite class, Afrofunk led by the spirited Miss Maud, Leta’s enthusiasm is contagious.
In the second part, we imagine a world where literature and dance collide. Recall the richly illustrated first editions of Sherlock Holmes as we discuss the need for similar visuals in today's adult literature. Brainstorm with us as we create new book series featuring young tap dancers, including an electrifying superhero series inspired by a young Maude Arnold. These adventures promise to bring the art of tap dancing to a broader audience, crossing genres and multiverses. We wrap up with some lighthearted fun about preparing for DC Tap Fest and the crucial role of keeping tap dance alive in both film and literature. Don't miss out on this lively and imaginative discussion!

Because we were originally toldthere was going to be non-boot
camp boot camp but the boot campkind of fell through.
(01:37):
So, yay, we get a few days inDC to just kind of hang out.
Should we make sure nobodyknows that we're getting in

Yay, dc to just kind of hangout.
Should we make sure nobodyknows that we're getting in

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Yay.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Okay, so we have some other things with all this
Question your autism.
How do you feel about theall-star concert?
What?
What do you feel like whenyou're on stage with the rest of
the soul talkers?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
I'm glad I cannot see those thousands of eyes
probably judging me, and I'mglad I have people who I know on
the stage, or else I would behaving freaking panic attack.
Also, I'm glad I can't seethose thousands of eyes, but I'm
not glad because I can't see mymom or anyone I know, because
(02:35):
it's so ding-ding dark.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
As an autistic dancer .
What do you feel like whenyou're dancing on stage Outside
of the?
You're glad you can't see thethousand of eyes.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
What do you feel like when you're dancing Same
outside of the?
You're glad you can't see thethousand of eyes.
What do you feel like whenyou're dancing same as I'm?
That's when I'm in soul.
Talk leaf went suddenly land inpole because the thing ended.
Could you expand upon that?
Just a little bit?
Like a leaf that fell from atree, flowing in the wind, not
knowing where it's going.
But it's going somewhere,seeing beautiful things along
the way but completely andtotally forgetting about those
beautiful things until it landson the puddle of wonder and
(03:14):
water and then wonders whathappened on this journey on this
way there, and then suddenlyremembers the whole entire thing
once it gets picked up by thewind and then lands on another
puddle.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
That helped a lot.
What's your relationship likewith most of these adults around
you at Soul Talk, Like withyour autism.
How do you interact with them?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
If you do not give me a hug and not say hi to me, I
will feel like you personallyforgot me altogether and
suddenly remember that you werebusy with other people and busy
with a bunch of fans surroundingyou, because I don't know why
everybody thinks you're famous,but somehow they don't think
you're famous.
(03:56):
I don't think you have a lastname, like Mr Brill.
Apparently, he has a last namecalled Barrett, but he does not
have a last name, because if hehad a last name, he would have
told us his last name.
Mr Brill would have told us ifhe had a last name.
And if he didn't, what are youdoing, mr Brill?
Why Mr Brill?
(04:17):
Why?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
What is class you were looking.
What is a class that, if theydon't have it at DC Tap Fest,
it's not a tap festival.
Afrofunk.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Because Miss Moth, afrofunk, afrofunk.
Because Miss Moth.
I'm surprised we still have thelast DC because of reasons Like
I was afraid of a volcano wasgoing to explode in the basement
.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
There are a lot of kids in that basement and that
kind of makes it hot, can?
Speaker 1 (04:53):
you explain to our listeners what Afrofunk is like?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
You can use your own terminology and your own
wordings.
It doesn't have to be perfectTo you as an autistic kid.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
How would you describe Afrofarm?
No words, no words, no words,because there's no existing
words to describe it at all.
Maybe in some different alienlanguage?
Maybe that would be a very big,maybe Like a gigantic, almost
(05:27):
as big as another sun.
Maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Afrofunk is your favorite class and the puppy is
barking and that's going to gowell.
What do you like about Afrofunk?
What makes it your favoriteclass?
You have other classes withMaud.
Maud does teach tap.
Why is Afrofunk your favoriteMaud class?
Why is it not the tap classwith mod?
Speaker 1 (05:47):
gets in my zone, man gets in the mad zone, my kids in
my zone, my kids in my mind, soalso.
Plus, she also says that g ismore in the sun when it comes to
Apple Funk.
It's in my sun, in my, my sun,my gets in my sun, my gets in my
(06:09):
sun.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
Okay, so I had to take a took a moment to get the
puppy hopefully settled.
We do need a puppy cam.
I think people need to put inthe comments if they want a
puppy cam or not, because hedoes bark but he doesn't come
over to the catch anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
For the sake of second sight.
Yes, please, please, please,please, please.
This dog needs a dog.
Cancel this more pygmy hippovideos.
Yes, I'm now nicknaming the dogpygmy hippo because he's the
exact size of almost fully grownpygmy hippo, except just just
squished in more.
Just like squished in more.
(06:48):
Like squished in more Justsquished in more.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I am taking video off my cell phone, which is oh so
fun, because I'm holding it upto do this.
What about the talks?
What is your favorite talk, mrBrill?
What does Mr Brill talk about?
Perhaps tap history?
Yeah, what else does he talkabout?
What do you like about MrBrill's tap history class?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Well, so this time around, hopefully I don't get
embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Could you explain not why you got embarrassed.
We'll leave that for anothertime or never.
Could you explain what you meanwhen we're talking about Mr
Brill's history class, because Ihave talked to parents, brill's
history class, because I havetalked to parents who think his
history class should be acollege level class.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
The college students do not get to deserve the games
we get to play.
They do not deserve it.
They also don't deserve thefood.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Well, we bring our own food.
But still, Jack's upset becausehe can see the neighbors and
our neighbors are getting theiryard done and I'm so excited for
them.
They have saved up money for along time to make it perfect and
there's like five people intheir yard doing their yard
right now.
So yeah, he's a little upset.
No, I meant the parents wouldlike to get college credit for
(08:04):
mr brill's class and they wouldlike him to actually teach like
a semester-long college class.
They don't deserve it.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
No, they do not deserve it.
No, we keep Mr Brill toourselves.
They will not get him.
Mr Brill is ours.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Oh, come on.
The parents are really sweet,though.
We're all nice and kind andcaring.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, but you could just have a conversation with
the man.
Well, not the man, the boy,because, like you said, no, no
man, grow up, they're all boys.
They just badly want to becomemen, true?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
So are you excited about the upcoming video shoot?
Because it's a totallydifferent location, obviously,
since we're not in Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
No, I have to skip cake.
Chloe ailsa sees her ice creamat a ice cream shop, or cake,
probably the ice cream shop.
She has told us that cake yourmic is still on that cake is
life when it comes to your tooyoung to be paid for this and
(09:07):
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Legal stuff.
But okay, kids are payment, orat least for the ones who can't
get paid, cuz well, apparently,I'm too young to get actually
paid.
Apparently, candy bars doesn'tcount as payment, so all of this
(09:27):
is Are you excited abouteverything?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Are you good?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Are you okay?
Are you sane, are you mentallyAre you good, are you okay?
Do not laugh, or else you'regetting set to pee off.
Wait, jack, isn't it justamazing?
I know I sound like I'msuffocating when I laugh, but
come on, dog, are you good?
Are you calm?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Are you okay?
I am fine, I promise you, I amfine, I am perfectly fine, mute
your mic.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Are you okay?
Are you good, I don't care whatcomes out of your mouth.
I'm trying to see the look I'mlooking for, because you have a
certain look when you're totallyand indubitably not fine.
Stop laughing.
Now you can unmute.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I'm fine, a little stressed, because there's, you
know, that big project withAutistic Wings Dance Company
we're doing.
Plus we're opening in less thantwo weeks, more like one week
now, because they opened theTuesday.
We're en route back here fromDC.
Tap Fest I have.
There should be classes.
We did plan that horribly.
(10:39):
What.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I don't have to plan this stuff.
I'm sort of paid now.
Apparently, I'm too young.
You know, like Phineas and Ferb, every time they buy stuff for
materials or machines, and theyalways get asked are you old
enough for this?
And they're like no.
And then they're like are you,aren't you too young for this?
And they're like, yes, yes, weare.
(11:02):
And aren't you too old to haveno answer?
Creativity, even thoughgrownups are supposed to be
forced to have creativity byhaving no pictures and books.
To me that's just wrong,because, okay, you look for
pictures.
Okay, sure, but not even like ateeny tiny little mouse picture
(11:24):
or a teeny tiny little doggiepicture.
I mean, they don't putsuffocated blades on anything.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Adult books used to actually have a lot of
illustrations.
If you'll look at some of myolder books that are more
historical books first editionsof books that nowadays don't
have those illustrations used tobe all over the place Like I
have Sherlock Holmes books thatare filled with illustrations
and there's little illustrationson the page and then big
colorful illustrations on thepage.
(11:52):
The thing was a few years back.
People decided that if you hadillustrations you couldn't read
well enough and last I checked,this is not a book talk, uh,
youtube channel, this is anautistic tap dancer channel.
Why are we talking about bookstuff?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
because we both have adhd and I was talking about
phineas and perp, and so then Ithought why do?
Did suddenly someone say oh hey, there's pictures on this adult
book?
How about we take randompictures to force adults to have
imagination?
Because apparently there's nosuch thing as you can have
imagination about what's in therest of the freaking world,
(12:28):
because it's not in freakingbright day, you can't see all
the freaking thing, you can onlysee a chunk of it.
So are you saying adults can'timagine the rest of the freaking
thing?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
You know, what we really need is a book series on
a young tap dancer.
I saw that group.
No, not on you, I was talkinglike someone in your group.
Perfectly fine, should make abook series on you know kid who
joins an international tap,international youth tap company,
(13:01):
and then we should make sure itgoes like a bestseller list.
And then someone don't knowwhich one of the interns who
will no longer be interns bytime this happens needs to turn
it into a movie.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
So it turns if you're watching this, please face the
character of any of all of you,it doesn't even have.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
it could be a bunch of characteristics from each
individual dancers, or how aboutthis?
I got a great idea.
You go first.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
But isn't there another world that's like this
world, except everybody's?
A person who can turn into ananimal, and the girls these are
a person who can turn into awolf, a shepherd or big adult,
just for the heck of it.
Because so help me, bigador,deadly Lee Q, I mean Q-Nest
(13:54):
Weapon and the tap dancer All inone Turbo.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Fred Bigador.
I have an idea and honestlythis is an amazing idea.
What if and hear me out, andeveryone in the Soul Talk, chloe
, arnold, a sphere.
What if the main character wasbased off a young maude arnold,
still based off of miss mad?
(14:18):
Yeah, what if they did?
I mean miss chloe too, becausemiss chloe should have a book
all about her youth too.
But what if they turn missmaude into a superhero in this
book series?
Can?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
she still turn into an animal just because yeah,
whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
But I mean, don't you think miss maude would love
entire series about herimaginary adventures as a tap
dancing superhero?
I have, I made you quit likefunctioning.
Did I ruin your functioning?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I just wanted to think of your ideas better than
my idea.
Do you think my?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
ideas bad.
I think both ideas are good.
I think we should have morethan one, because, I mean, think
about it, if there's more thanone youth book series, young
adult book series on this, thenyou have two different tap based
movies and or tv series orstreaming series that you could
put together, which puts more ofyou guys it and work later.
(15:14):
Not to mention if there's moretap series based off more
different, more types of genreswhere tap dancing is a key part
of the story that introduces tapdancing to so many more people.
I am in trouble.
This is not going to go well,okay, so if anyone's from nobody
, listen to me, just just nobodylisten.
(15:35):
Okay, yes, listen, but no onefrom our group mentioned this
whole idea.
So okay.
So think about it, though, andI'll let you what.
If you have your idea whereyou've got an off-world tap
dancing series based in an alienworld, where, I'm sorry,
different part of the multiverse, I'm sorry.
So you have your idea whereit's based in a different part
(15:56):
of the multiverse, but missmaude's superhero series is
based here, and then you couldcross over.
Plus, you know what if someonejust oh, I don't know writes an
entire book series just basedoff like miss chloe's life or
miss michelle's life or MissMelinda's life or Mr Brill's
life, or continue this idea.
(16:31):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,no, no.
Well, your dad's not here tosay no, but no, I'm thinking it
would be fun, it'd be exciting,and I think we should shop the
idea around dc tap fest withoutanyone killing me.
I'm perfectly fine with that.
I'm just saying I am very tiredafter dealing with some stuff
and I am pretty convinced thatmean, because one of the reasons
you guys are doing your shortstory film session every
(16:51):
Hollywood is to make sure Tapdoesn't die in film.
But if you have Tap in theseyoung adult books, then Tap
won't die in film.
Jack, jack, jack, all right.
So we need to probably feed, weneed to feed him and we need to
go start packing, because wehaven't started packing yet, and
you need to send homework in toMiss Chloe and Miss Maude and
(17:13):
Miss Orlis and you need to makesure you have your jeans and,
jack, you can't bark withoutshow up.
I mean you got to pay the dogtax, so text us any ideas you
have about this book series andwe'll tell it to everyone while
we're in DC.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Right Lita, this book series and we'll tell it to
everyone while we're in dc.
Right, lita, I think if youcould turn into a web blogger
would be a jack wire and we'veall have failures no, so if you
are listening to this on apodcast, you can actually text
us.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Did you know that?
You're giving me a weird look.
You're shaking your head?
Yeah, in the description is alink to actually text.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
The podcast isn't that exciting and let's do pet
pictures like guinea pigs orsnakes, doggies, but the boy
doggies in a wedding dress andthe girl doggies in a tuxedo,
because I like putting girldoggies in tuxedos and boy
doggies in wedding dresses, orat least in my imagination, but
(18:03):
they're cute.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Also, maybe we could say put your if you're watching
this on YouTube, put your puppypictures and other animal
pictures below.
We're getting close tohalloween, so in october we
should start seeing all thosecute, adorable dills.
We're towards the end of themonth.

Okay, so I had to take a took a moment to get the
puppy hopefully settled.
We do need a puppy cam.
I think people need to put inthe comments if they want a
puppy cam or not, because hedoes bark but he doesn't come
over to the catch anymore.
Speaker 1 (06:26):
For the sake of second sight.
Yes, please, please, please,please, please.
This dog needs a dog.
Cancel this more pygmy hippovideos.
Yes, I'm now nicknaming the dogpygmy hippo because he's the
exact size of almost fully grownpygmy hippo, except just just
squished in more.
Just like squished in more.
(06:48):
Like squished in more Justsquished in more.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
I am taking video off my cell phone, which is oh so
fun, because I'm holding it upto do this.
What about the talks?
What is your favorite talk, mrBrill?
What does Mr Brill talk about?
Perhaps tap history?
Yeah, what else does he talkabout?
What do you like about MrBrill's tap history class?
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Well, so this time around, hopefully I don't get
embarrassed.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Could you explain not why you got embarrassed.
We'll leave that for anothertime or never.
Could you explain what you meanwhen we're talking about Mr
Brill's history class, because Ihave talked to parents, brill's
history class, because I havetalked to parents who think his
history class should be acollege level class.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
The college students do not get to deserve the games
we get to play.
They do not deserve it.
They also don't deserve thefood.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Well, we bring our own food.
But still, Jack's upset becausehe can see the neighbors and
our neighbors are getting theiryard done and I'm so excited for
them.
They have saved up money for along time to make it perfect and
there's like five people intheir yard doing their yard
right now.
So yeah, he's a little upset.
No, I meant the parents wouldlike to get college credit for
(08:04):
mr brill's class and they wouldlike him to actually teach like
a semester-long college class.
They don't deserve it.
Speaker 1 (08:11):
No, they do not deserve it.
No, we keep Mr Brill toourselves.
They will not get him.
Mr Brill is ours.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
Oh, come on.
The parents are really sweet,though.
We're all nice and kind andcaring.
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Yeah, but you could just have a conversation with
the man.
Well, not the man, the boy,because, like you said, no, no
man, grow up, they're all boys.
They just badly want to becomemen, true?
Speaker 2 (08:37):
So are you excited about the upcoming video shoot?
Because it's a totallydifferent location, obviously,
since we're not in Hollywood.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
No, I have to skip cake.
Chloe ailsa sees her ice creamat a ice cream shop, or cake,
probably the ice cream shop.
She has told us that cake yourmic is still on that cake is
life when it comes to your tooyoung to be paid for this and
(09:07):
blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Legal stuff.
But okay, kids are payment, orat least for the ones who can't
get paid, cuz well, apparently,I'm too young to get actually
paid.
Apparently, candy bars doesn'tcount as payment, so all of this
(09:27):
is Are you excited abouteverything?
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Are you good?
Speaker 1 (09:33):
Are you okay?
Are you sane, are you mentallyAre you good, are you okay?
Do not laugh, or else you'regetting set to pee off.
Wait, jack, isn't it justamazing?
I know I sound like I'msuffocating when I laugh, but
come on, dog, are you good?
Are you calm?
Speaker 2 (09:53):
Are you okay?
I am fine, I promise you, I amfine, I am perfectly fine, mute
your mic.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Are you okay?
Are you good, I don't care whatcomes out of your mouth.
I'm trying to see the look I'mlooking for, because you have a
certain look when you're totallyand indubitably not fine.
Stop laughing.
Now you can unmute.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I'm fine, a little stressed, because there's, you
know, that big project withAutistic Wings Dance Company
we're doing.
Plus we're opening in less thantwo weeks, more like one week
now, because they opened theTuesday.
We're en route back here fromDC.
Tap Fest I have.
There should be classes.
We did plan that horribly.
(10:39):
What.
Speaker 1 (10:40):
I don't have to plan this stuff.
I'm sort of paid now.
Apparently, I'm too young.
You know, like Phineas and Ferb, every time they buy stuff for
materials or machines, and theyalways get asked are you old
enough for this?
And they're like no.
And then they're like are you,aren't you too young for this?
And they're like, yes, yes, weare.
(11:02):
And aren't you too old to haveno answer?
Creativity, even thoughgrownups are supposed to be
forced to have creativity byhaving no pictures and books.
To me that's just wrong,because, okay, you look for
pictures.
Okay, sure, but not even like ateeny tiny little mouse picture
(11:24):
or a teeny tiny little doggiepicture.
I mean, they don't putsuffocated blades on anything.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
Adult books used to actually have a lot of
illustrations.
If you'll look at some of myolder books that are more
historical books first editionsof books that nowadays don't
have those illustrations used tobe all over the place Like I
have Sherlock Holmes books thatare filled with illustrations
and there's little illustrationson the page and then big
colorful illustrations on thepage.
(11:52):
The thing was a few years back.
People decided that if you hadillustrations you couldn't read
well enough and last I checked,this is not a book talk, uh,
youtube channel, this is anautistic tap dancer channel.
Why are we talking about bookstuff?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
because we both have adhd and I was talking about
phineas and perp, and so then Ithought why do?
Did suddenly someone say oh hey, there's pictures on this adult
book?
How about we take randompictures to force adults to have
imagination?
Because apparently there's nosuch thing as you can have
imagination about what's in therest of the freaking world,
(12:28):
because it's not in freakingbright day, you can't see all
the freaking thing, you can onlysee a chunk of it.
So are you saying adults can'timagine the rest of the freaking
thing?
Speaker 2 (12:38):
You know, what we really need is a book series on
a young tap dancer.
I saw that group.
No, not on you, I was talkinglike someone in your group.
Perfectly fine, should make abook series on you know kid who
joins an international tap,international youth tap company,
(13:01):
and then we should make sure itgoes like a bestseller list.
And then someone don't knowwhich one of the interns who
will no longer be interns bytime this happens needs to turn
it into a movie.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
So it turns if you're watching this, please face the
character of any of all of you,it doesn't even have.
Speaker 2 (13:23):
it could be a bunch of characteristics from each
individual dancers, or how aboutthis?
I got a great idea.
You go first.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
But isn't there another world that's like this
world, except everybody's?
A person who can turn into ananimal, and the girls these are
a person who can turn into awolf, a shepherd or big adult,
just for the heck of it.
Because so help me, bigador,deadly Lee Q, I mean Q-Nest
(13:54):
Weapon and the tap dancer All inone Turbo.
Speaker 2 (13:58):
Fred Bigador.
I have an idea and honestlythis is an amazing idea.
What if and hear me out, andeveryone in the Soul Talk, chloe
, arnold, a sphere.
What if the main character wasbased off a young maude arnold,
still based off of miss mad?
(14:18):
Yeah, what if they did?
I mean miss chloe too, becausemiss chloe should have a book
all about her youth too.
But what if they turn missmaude into a superhero in this
book series?
Can?
Speaker 1 (14:30):
she still turn into an animal just because yeah,
whatever.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
But I mean, don't you think miss maude would love
entire series about herimaginary adventures as a tap
dancing superhero?
I have, I made you quit likefunctioning.
Did I ruin your functioning?
Speaker 1 (14:49):
I just wanted to think of your ideas better than
my idea.
Do you think my?
Speaker 2 (14:53):
ideas bad.
I think both ideas are good.
I think we should have morethan one, because, I mean, think
about it, if there's more thanone youth book series, young
adult book series on this, thenyou have two different tap based
movies and or tv series orstreaming series that you could
put together, which puts more ofyou guys it and work later.
(15:14):
Not to mention if there's moretap series based off more
different, more types of genreswhere tap dancing is a key part
of the story that introduces tapdancing to so many more people.
I am in trouble.
This is not going to go well,okay, so if anyone's from nobody
, listen to me, just just nobodylisten.
(15:35):
Okay, yes, listen, but no onefrom our group mentioned this
whole idea.
So okay.
So think about it, though, andI'll let you what.
If you have your idea whereyou've got an off-world tap
dancing series based in an alienworld, where, I'm sorry,
different part of the multiverse, I'm sorry.
So you have your idea whereit's based in a different part
(15:56):
of the multiverse, but missmaude's superhero series is
based here, and then you couldcross over.
Plus, you know what if someonejust oh, I don't know writes an
entire book series just basedoff like miss chloe's life or
miss michelle's life or MissMelinda's life or Mr Brill's
life, or continue this idea.
(16:31):
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,no, no.
Well, your dad's not here tosay no, but no, I'm thinking it
would be fun, it'd be exciting,and I think we should shop the
idea around dc tap fest withoutanyone killing me.
I'm perfectly fine with that.
I'm just saying I am very tiredafter dealing with some stuff
and I am pretty convinced thatmean, because one of the reasons
you guys are doing your shortstory film session every
(16:51):
Hollywood is to make sure Tapdoesn't die in film.
But if you have Tap in theseyoung adult books, then Tap
won't die in film.
Jack, jack, jack, all right.
So we need to probably feed, weneed to feed him and we need to
go start packing, because wehaven't started packing yet, and
you need to send homework in toMiss Chloe and Miss Maude and
(17:13):
Miss Orlis and you need to makesure you have your jeans and,
jack, you can't bark withoutshow up.
I mean you got to pay the dogtax, so text us any ideas you
have about this book series andwe'll tell it to everyone while
we're in DC.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
Right Lita, this book series and we'll tell it to
everyone while we're in dc.
Right, lita, I think if youcould turn into a web blogger
would be a jack wire and we'veall have failures no, so if you
are listening to this on apodcast, you can actually text
us.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Did you know that?
You're giving me a weird look.
You're shaking your head?
Yeah, in the description is alink to actually text.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
The podcast isn't that exciting and let's do pet
pictures like guinea pigs orsnakes, doggies, but the boy
doggies in a wedding dress andthe girl doggies in a tuxedo,
because I like putting girldoggies in tuxedos and boy
doggies in wedding dresses, orat least in my imagination, but
(18:03):
they're cute.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Also, maybe we could say put your if you're watching
this on YouTube, put your puppypictures and other animal
pictures below.
We're getting close tohalloween, so in october we
should start seeing all thosecute, adorable dills.
We're towards the end of themonth.
