a little earlier during the.
21
00:00:59.359 --> 00:01:01.240

23
00:01:05.400 --> 00:01:06.640
I'm using my headphounds?
24
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:10.079
Why you can take that off and put the phone
25
00:01:10.079 --> 00:01:11.760
to your ear. It'd be a lot clearer.
26
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:21.359
Excuse him? All right, come on?
27
00:01:26.280 --> 00:01:27.000

00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:28.599
Hey?
29
00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:29.439
How are you?
30
00:01:30.879 --> 00:01:31.799
Is that better? Oh?
31
00:01:31.799 --> 00:01:33.640

32
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.400

How's the boy band coming together?
39
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:55.719
It's great, it's going great. Me and Jayden have come
40
00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.120
up with a name, and I think we're going to
41
00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:01.680
call it Skinnels. Oh my goodness this thinking about it.
42
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:03.480
Yeah, that sounds about right.
43
00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.040
Skinners have to think about Wayne.
44
00:02:06.159 --> 00:02:08.120
Yeah, well, you know, a proper coup of cops taken
45
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:12.680
and the hot chocolates has taken. I was very honestly,
46
00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:14.719
I ain't joking. I was very devastated when I heard
47
00:02:14.719 --> 00:02:17.439
that the hot chocolates were taken.
48
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:21.360
I hear the devastation every day. I either get it
49
00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:27.840
via websapp ords. You're with the with the Amazon, you know,
50
00:02:27.919 --> 00:02:29.800
with the Amazon echoed with the Alexa.
51
00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.080
Yeah of course.
52
00:02:31.479 --> 00:02:31.680
Yeah.
53
00:02:31.840 --> 00:02:33.400
How else am I supposed to get out of you?
54
00:02:35.639 --> 00:02:36.479
Is never happening?
55
00:02:38.080 --> 00:02:39.000
Goodness gracious.
56
00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:41.360
Now, just trying to trying to keep up with the

Anthony's appearance, you know, mm hmm, get you anywhere?
58
00:02:46.840 --> 00:02:47.400
Excuse me.
59
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:50.560
I don't mean it like I don't mean it like
60
00:02:50.599 --> 00:02:56.080
that talker. Yeah.
61
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:58.319
I love I love how Wayne is always like caught
62
00:02:58.800 --> 00:03:02.400
like deer and head light sometimes when I talk to him. Yeah,
63
00:03:02.599 --> 00:03:04.719
and then I'm like white, excuse me, and he'd be
64
00:03:04.719 --> 00:03:05.280
like no.
65
00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:09.319
No, no, I didn't know. Oh yeah wait wait I'm
66
00:03:09.360 --> 00:03:10.159
doing that to him.
67
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:12.439
When's the master self savotage in?
68
00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.759
Yeah, oh it's fine.
69
00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:17.639
Yeah, you get used to it.
70
00:03:17.759 --> 00:03:22.759
Go a long way with me, now, yeah, go a
71
00:03:22.759 --> 00:03:29.599
long way different. Oh anyway, so you're seeing me.
72
00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.360
I'm keeping mom. I'm not I'm not saying anything.
73
00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:38.360
Exactly to you guys. Yes, she knows best. That's why
74
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:41.039
I'll probably get a text message saying you still get
75
00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:42.280
the what award.
76
00:03:43.800 --> 00:03:45.439
Exactly exactly.
77
00:03:45.479 --> 00:03:47.800
I could I'm looking at the screen and I could
78
00:03:47.800 --> 00:03:50.639
see that there's an E and you know, for for explicit.
79
00:03:50.960 --> 00:03:52.319
So I'm like, okay, this is going to be a
80
00:03:52.400 --> 00:03:55.759
very fun interview because already Wayne has determined it's going
81
00:03:55.840 --> 00:03:56.520
to be explicit.
82
00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:02.080
Yeah, it'd be fun. Yes, yes, uh, that'll be fine.
83
00:04:02.439 --> 00:04:03.080
I'm good with that.
84
00:04:04.639 --> 00:04:08.879
We need fun, we need fun. Everything is just everything's
85
00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:14.240
just so overwhelming lately. So nothing wrong with with fun.
86
00:04:14.840 --> 00:04:15.919
For you to let it all.
87
00:04:15.800 --> 00:04:20.519
Out exactly, do you need to beat up somebody or
88
00:04:20.600 --> 00:04:23.360
beat up the wall? You know, it's it's all fun.
89
00:04:24.120 --> 00:04:26.000
You know, everybody has a different definition of fun.
90
00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:31.920
Hey, Hey, Maureen, Maureen's dad, Joseph, nice to see you,
91
00:04:31.959 --> 00:04:35.800
my friend, talking to you, being a legend as always.
92
00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:38.319
So now I'm gonna have to be nice.
93
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.079
To damn it. And you have to be even more
94
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:43.480
nice because my mom's in it and.
95
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:49.480
So more in how should they be my friend?
96
00:04:49.560 --> 00:04:53.199
It has been good. It's it's uh, it's it's been good.
97
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:58.600
And you know, just I just finished my my finals
98
00:04:58.879 --> 00:05:03.759
and it was just so it was just so overwhelming
99
00:05:04.279 --> 00:05:05.319
to be honest with you.
100
00:05:07.920 --> 00:05:12.759
No, no, no, she's not my boss.
101
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:16.800
Oh god, will let Wayne believe that he's the boss?
102
00:05:18.759 --> 00:05:23.279
Well we make him think that, exactly, make him think.
103
00:05:23.160 --> 00:05:25.079
That because you just said it amongst you each other.
104
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.240
It's fine. I don't know. I don't have to hear that.
105
00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:32.360
Yeah.
106
00:05:32.360 --> 00:05:34.480
So it's just like I've been I've been waiting. I've
107
00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:35.360
been just.
108
00:05:37.079 --> 00:05:42.920
I just finished my my finals for the semester. It
109
00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.319
went it went't quite well. You see, it's just very
110
00:05:46.800 --> 00:05:50.720
it's challenging in some ways studying, you know, using the hybrid.
111
00:05:50.920 --> 00:05:54.120
When I say hybrids, so you got days where you're
112
00:05:54.279 --> 00:05:58.600
on campus and other days where you're doing things via online,
113
00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:02.759
and it's it's just very and especially I'm studying you
114
00:06:02.800 --> 00:06:05.839
know something in the medical field. I'm saying, to be
115
00:06:05.879 --> 00:06:09.079
a a certified clinical medical assistant.
116
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:12.319
It's just very hard to do certain things.
117
00:06:12.360 --> 00:06:15.199
It's all very new for the professors and the doctors
118
00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:20.240
who teach us. It's just very very challenging at this time.
119
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:23.680
But you know, I just wanted to take advantage to
120
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:31.920
to study, you know, during this pandemic, and.
121
00:06:29.279 --> 00:06:31.120
And that's it. I just wanted to make the best
122
00:06:31.160 --> 00:06:31.519
of it.
123
00:06:32.199 --> 00:06:35.040
So it's just and I and I took on some
124
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.360
I took on some projects that I had to do.
125
00:06:39.680 --> 00:06:41.480
I know, I know, you guys know I don't like
126
00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.839
to talk about like you know, when I write, ghost write,
127
00:06:44.920 --> 00:06:48.519
like other projects. It was I had left that business
128
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:50.959
for for not quite a while, but for you.
129
00:06:50.839 --> 00:06:52.959
Know, for for some time.
130
00:06:53.240 --> 00:06:55.920
And then people were just like Marie, we have this project,
131
00:06:56.000 --> 00:06:58.279
we have that project. Could you please come back, you
132
00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:01.480
know and do this and this, and and I wound
133
00:07:01.519 --> 00:07:05.759
up going back and it's just everything just smooths so
134
00:07:05.759 --> 00:07:09.600
sol me because everybody's on zoom every day and it's
135
00:07:09.839 --> 00:07:13.279
way more tiring than being face to face with people.
136
00:07:13.399 --> 00:07:17.680
And you know, when you're in your natural setting, you know,
137
00:07:17.720 --> 00:07:20.839
you just find out things about people via zoom that.
138
00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.560
I never wanted to find out about them, to be honest.
139
00:07:23.800 --> 00:07:24.600
You know, so.
140
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:29.160
Apparently you bully your teacher. Couldn't hear that.
141
00:07:30.399 --> 00:07:34.079
Oh my goodness, I don't bully him. I don't believe him.
142
00:07:34.079 --> 00:07:37.839
It's my father's a little extreme.
143
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:42.079
So the thing is because I get into I get
144
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:46.720
into not arguments, I mean just you know, I'm inquisitive,
145
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:47.319
you know, I'm like.
146
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:48.560
Why is this that way?
147
00:07:48.720 --> 00:07:51.800
Or if I get a gray on something and then
148
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:54.920
it's marked wrong and I'm telling you, no, this.
149
00:07:54.959 --> 00:07:57.600
Is not how the question was pose, you know, And
150
00:07:57.639 --> 00:07:57.959
then I.
151
00:07:57.920 --> 00:08:01.319
Go through grammar and technical these and and.
152
00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:03.839
Stuff like that. I taught.
153
00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:07.959
I taught English for many years when I was living abroad.
154
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:12.639
And it's it's very it's it's very important when you
155
00:08:12.720 --> 00:08:16.000
got to teach, you know, kids or even adults, when
156
00:08:16.040 --> 00:08:19.199
they're learning English as a second language, it's very important
157
00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:21.720
that you make things that make sense to them.
158
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:24.800
You have to translate, you have to do so many
159
00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:28.079
things like that, and uh, and you know.
160
00:08:28.279 --> 00:08:32.559
It's it's it's all about just being technical with certain things.
161
00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:34.919
Because if you're at a job and they're technical about something,
162
00:08:35.039 --> 00:08:36.639
guess what you get into trouble.
163
00:08:36.720 --> 00:08:40.440
You know what I'm saying, But that's not bullying my teacher.
164
00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.679
You know, my dad likes to say I give everybody
165
00:08:42.679 --> 00:08:43.159
a hard.
166
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:49.639
Time, but he's listening in exactly exactly.
167
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:57.159
He's on a roll today, exactly.
168
00:08:57.360 --> 00:08:59.039
What's going to come up next?
169
00:08:59.200 --> 00:08:59.759
I love it.
170
00:09:00.879 --> 00:09:03.679
Oh my god, you guys are just like going a
171
00:09:03.679 --> 00:09:05.320
lot of my friends don't want to sign on for
172
00:09:05.480 --> 00:09:08.039
the chat because some of them are either coming home
173
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:10.639
from work or because they want to put in their

225

It's Mark as well. I love the way he's trying
229
00:11:59.519 --> 00:12:01.399

230
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:03.279
Mark.
231
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.759
Yes, he always flirts with me. He likes me.
232
00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:10.799
Oh my god. Oh Wayne. It's all going to your
233
00:12:10.799 --> 00:12:11.639
farm now right.
234
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:13.960
It always does fun, it always does.
235
00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:17.279
I don't mind. It's all good. So your dad said, Actually,
236
00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:18.919
to be very fair to want to get this across
237
00:12:18.960 --> 00:12:21.559
before we do go Anny further, I am very proud
238
00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:26.399
of her and what she had accomplished. The best is
239
00:12:26.480 --> 00:12:29.480
yet to come, and you guys are a great help.
240
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:32.440
Oh well, thank you, thank you, Joseph. I really appreciate that,
241
00:12:32.480 --> 00:12:34.759
my friend and we are just the best. Thank you.
242
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:42.440
Well exactly, he's talking. He's also talking about like my second.
243
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:47.559
Book, I I put off publishing it this year. I
244
00:12:47.559 --> 00:12:51.720
put putting it out this year because twenty twenty is canceled.
245
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:51.840
In my mind.
246
00:12:52.279 --> 00:12:53.440
That's true.
247
00:12:54.159 --> 00:12:56.759
I'm just saying, because people are.
248
00:12:56.279 --> 00:12:58.600
Just not in that mindset. I mean, look at the movies,
249
00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.679
books are coming out. They're not really coming out like
250
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:05.759
with even if you advertise, they're not coming out in
251
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:08.840
a very strong way, in a strong because people are
252
00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:11.720
you know, losing their jobs, being laid off.
253
00:13:12.279 --> 00:13:15.200
It's just not a it's it's a little it's a
254
00:13:15.320 --> 00:13:16.240
kind of tone.
255
00:13:16.039 --> 00:13:18.320
Deaf, you know what I'm saying. I mean, I mean
256
00:13:18.399 --> 00:13:21.279
other parts are publishing and stuff like that, but to me,
257
00:13:21.919 --> 00:13:25.480
it's the kind of little tone deaf because people people
258
00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:28.559
assume just because you're home, you're going to be you know,
259
00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:29.559
reading the whole time.
260
00:13:29.600 --> 00:13:30.120
It's not that.
261
00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:33.799
Sometimes people turn on the TV, watch the news mindlessly,
262
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:39.200
scroll through their phone mindlessly, and it's it's it's it
263
00:13:39.240 --> 00:13:41.759
is what it is. And I just didn't feel for me,
264
00:13:42.679 --> 00:13:46.600
as as a writer and as a writer to put
265
00:13:46.639 --> 00:13:49.879
my work out because I just I just didn't feel
266
00:13:49.879 --> 00:13:52.679
you know, it's art in the end. You know, it's
267
00:13:52.799 --> 00:13:55.279
art in the end. It is an art form. And
268
00:13:55.320 --> 00:13:58.440
I just didn't feel comfortable putting it out there. Uh.
269
00:13:58.639 --> 00:14:02.840
This year, and and and I have, I have some
270
00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.879
people ask me, are you going to uh are you
271
00:14:05.879 --> 00:14:07.799
going to put in anything uh, you know with the
272
00:14:07.840 --> 00:14:11.639
COVID in the book. And I'm going to tell my
273
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:17.120
my my friends, my readers, people who follow me on Instagram, Facebook,
274
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:21.600
and Twitter, I am not putting anything anything to do
275
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:26.200
with this pandemic in my book, all right, Yes, not
276
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:28.879
not just because because first of all, I started writing
277
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.080
the book, the second book, before the pandemic.
278
00:14:31.159 --> 00:14:37.320
Let's get that stretch. Yeah, exactly. I know a lot
279
00:14:37.360 --> 00:14:41.000
of TV shows have had had to change their writing,
280
00:14:41.080 --> 00:14:42.039
you know, for the pandemic.
281
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:44.360
You see TV shows now they have to you know,
282
00:14:44.399 --> 00:14:45.720
wear the mask and all that.
283
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:48.600
And I think the writers had to change so many
284
00:14:48.679 --> 00:14:52.399
things to to accommodate the situations. You know what I'm saying,
285
00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:55.519
Because it will it will also be you know, I mean,
286
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:57.519
come on, it's a reality.
287
00:14:57.159 --> 00:14:57.960
We have to deal with.
288
00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:01.240
But it's first of all, I'm gonna a book, you know,
289
00:15:01.399 --> 00:15:04.000
I don't have to deal with that, because that's just
290
00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:06.039
what it is. And I started writing things, and you
291
00:15:06.080 --> 00:15:08.320
know something, I want people to have a little break
292
00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:11.320
from having to think and deal with the pandemic.
293
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:13.039
It's just in my mind.
294
00:15:13.159 --> 00:15:16.679
Although a lot of people were asking me, Maureene, please
295
00:15:16.759 --> 00:15:19.320
please don't put the pandemic, and I tell them I
296
00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:21.600
am not putting the pandemic in the book because they
297
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:24.480
thought I put off the book because I was changing
298
00:15:24.519 --> 00:15:27.600
it because due to the fact of the pandemic, because
299
00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:30.080
I want to change you know, the scenarios or the
300
00:15:30.200 --> 00:15:31.720
plot or whatever it is.
301
00:15:31.960 --> 00:15:33.559
I tell him, no, it has nothing to do with it.
302
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:36.159
I had to changed things because it's just in and
303
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.559
it was an artistic choice, you know. But I don't
304
00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:43.159
want to put anything out right now just for that
305
00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:43.840
simple reason.
306
00:15:43.919 --> 00:15:46.879
So no COVID, no pandemic, nothing.
307
00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:50.519
You're going to read that book and it's going to be,
308
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.720
you know, the story of Polly, Michael and Casta.
309
00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:58.200
So the show must go on for me. It's a book,
310
00:15:58.320 --> 00:15:58.519
you know.
311
00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:03.879
So you know, with your first book. So what we're
312
00:16:03.879 --> 00:16:05.159
going to have to do is that we're going to
313
00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:07.320
have to roll back and talk about that first book.
314
00:16:08.519 --> 00:16:16.200
Yes, all right, So uh, The first book is about Polly.
315
00:16:16.360 --> 00:16:22.240
She's she's an undertaker. She's an undertaker, and she was involved.
316
00:16:22.559 --> 00:16:24.879
I'm not going to say a love triangle because the
317
00:16:24.879 --> 00:16:28.519
word love triangle is very very y a, you know,
318
00:16:28.639 --> 00:16:32.279
young adult. But you know, we're just gonna you know,
319
00:16:32.480 --> 00:16:35.799
use use uh vernacular y a.
320
00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:38.320
So it's she's just.
321
00:16:38.200 --> 00:16:41.960
Like involved in a very uh in a very what
322
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:44.559
do you call it, a very weird situation, A peculiar
323
00:16:44.600 --> 00:16:48.879
situation actually between a friend and somebody else.
324
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:51.759
I don't want to give too much of the book.
325
00:16:52.360 --> 00:16:55.279
I don't want to give a lot of information about it,
326
00:16:55.600 --> 00:16:57.639
but the setting is she's an undertaker.
327
00:16:58.159 --> 00:16:59.759
She she has a she.
328
00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:04.559
Has a best friend who's actually a ballet dancer. You know,
329
00:17:04.720 --> 00:17:07.480
he's he's a ballet dancer, and his name is Michael.
330
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:12.119
Michael is one of my favorite characters that I came
331
00:17:12.240 --> 00:17:12.599
up with.
332
00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:14.160
Michael.
333
00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:19.240
I actually developed Michael over the years by because I
334
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:21.839
love to go to the to the opera, I love
335
00:17:21.920 --> 00:17:25.799
going to the ballet, and it was just, uh, it
336
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:28.480
was just something for me that I developed in my mind.
337
00:17:29.319 --> 00:17:31.920
Castor I developed him.
338
00:17:32.240 --> 00:17:35.240
It was it was just some somebody who was the
339
00:17:35.359 --> 00:17:40.000
quiet man. Castor is the quiet man, but not the
340
00:17:40.119 --> 00:17:44.319
quiet man that would be. He's just like this man
341
00:17:44.359 --> 00:17:48.559
that just doesn't say or speak much, but he says
342
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:49.480
the right things.
343
00:17:49.599 --> 00:17:52.680
He says the right things at the right time. You
344
00:17:52.720 --> 00:17:55.480
get what I'm saying. And it's just it's it's just
345
00:17:55.519 --> 00:17:56.880
this the whole thing with it.
346
00:17:57.079 --> 00:18:02.359
And she she's just involved in a very peculiar, peculiar
347
00:18:02.440 --> 00:18:08.599
situation in the book, and there is there is some
348
00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:13.000
I've developed the characters more in the second book. I've
349
00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.160
developed the characters more in the second book because for me,
350
00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:18.559
it was just like I like something that moves, it's
351
00:18:18.599 --> 00:18:21.440
a little fast paced with reading. I wanted to make
352
00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:24.720
something that's a little fast paced for for readers because
353
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:27.200
let me tell you something, I write a lot of poetry.
354
00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:29.799
I haven't published, but I do write.
355
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:31.960
A lot of poetry. That was my thing before. You know,
356
00:18:32.160 --> 00:18:34.599
I'd be sitting in the classroom and sometimes I write,
357
00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:38.200
write a poem about I don't know, the ceiling collapsing
358
00:18:38.200 --> 00:18:40.480
on my teacher's head, because.
359
00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:45.720
I can even stay yeah, I write it. I write
360
00:18:45.720 --> 00:18:48.039
and keep it to myself. I wouldn't say anything to anybody,
361
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:48.839
you know what I'm saying.
362
00:18:49.119 --> 00:18:51.680
When I'd be sitting in a French lit class and
363
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:56.000
be sometimes I just can't like two three hours.
364
00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:58.200
That's it.
365
00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:00.880
Yes, your head is just gonna, you know, employed, and
366
00:19:01.599 --> 00:19:04.799
I'd be writing these limerics sometimes and it just started out.
367
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:05.839
It started off very young.
368
00:19:06.319 --> 00:19:08.759
But the thing is I wanted to I want something else,
369
00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:12.599
fast paced, fast movement, so people would get it, grasp
370
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:16.119
an idea about about the book, about the things that
371
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:20.680
it is. There's no love story about a damsel in distress.
372
00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:24.880
She's certainly probably is certainly not a damsel in distress.
373
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:30.240
She's she's her own she's her own woman, she's her
374
00:19:30.279 --> 00:19:30.799
own woman.
375
00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:35.200
It's not a story where it involves a millionaire, you know,
376
00:19:35.319 --> 00:19:39.200
something like. I know these books are very popular nowadays,
377
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:43.599
but you know, in the Gothic in the Gothic genre,
378
00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:46.759
you know, and when I say romance, it's not it's
379
00:19:46.799 --> 00:19:50.359
not an explicit book, you know, it's it's not it's
380
00:19:50.359 --> 00:19:51.799
not in formatrue audience.
381
00:19:51.839 --> 00:19:53.160
So anybody can read that.
382
00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:56.079
Well, not under the age of fifteen sixteen, because you
383
00:19:56.119 --> 00:19:58.759
shouldn't be reading certain things, you know, when you're a
384
00:19:58.759 --> 00:20:02.680
certain age. But people people that that age can really
385
00:20:02.799 --> 00:20:07.319
read the book and go into certain things. I didn't
386
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:10.000
write any erotica. You see, this is a misconception I have.
387
00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:13.240
Sometimes you tell me, oh, is it erotica? I'm like, no,
388
00:20:13.319 --> 00:20:15.480
it's not erotica. I why is everything?
389
00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:18.519
I don't know why people affiliate goth with something being erotic.
390
00:20:19.000 --> 00:20:22.640
It's just I just don't understand it sometimes. But you know,
391
00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:23.640
to each his own.
392
00:20:24.200 --> 00:20:25.119
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
393
00:20:25.279 --> 00:20:25.480
Yeah.
394
00:20:25.799 --> 00:20:28.680
She also likes listening to an MV three player, doesn't she.
395
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:32.279
Yes, she does. She's she's a lot of die. She
396
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:34.319
doesn't like she she she.
397
00:20:34.400 --> 00:20:38.160
Wasn't like really into she wasn't really into technology, you know.
398
00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:41.519
But in the second book, In the second book, you know,
399
00:20:41.599 --> 00:20:44.039
she's she's going to update a little bit. And I
400
00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:46.200
when I wrote this book, I meant to leave her
401
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:48.680
with an MP three player, just just like that, just
402
00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:55.680
for the heck of it.
403
00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.839
A little bit. Probably personal stereo.
404
00:21:00.440 --> 00:21:01.319
Oh my goodness.
405
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:07.400
I remember I felt like I was a proper not
406
00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:10.960
a proper, proper person. That's it. Proper couple Yeah with
407
00:21:11.119 --> 00:21:14.279

his shoulders.
412
00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:29.000
For some reason, I'm having flashbacks of the breakfast.
413
00:21:28.599 --> 00:21:34.000
Club, the face.
414
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:38.400
Generation with the generation that moved from that. We're the

00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:41.720

00:24:13.519 --> 00:24:15.039

you know, because it's very common now the.
473
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:46.319
Back, black background and you know, something with I don't know,
474
00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:48.119
hands or face or something.
475
00:24:48.400 --> 00:24:52.079
I just wanted to do something different, and I like.
476
00:24:52.200 --> 00:24:54.599
I like art, I go to I go to many
477
00:24:54.720 --> 00:24:58.200
art galleries and it's something I enjoy. But I can't,
478
00:24:58.400 --> 00:24:59.519
like I said in any.
479
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:02.079
And every of you, I can't draw straight line with
480
00:25:02.160 --> 00:25:05.119
a ruler to save my life. I'm telling you from now.
481
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:08.680
I'm telling you from now that that that artistic gene
482
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:14.920
it skipped me and my father. Yeah, he's a portrait artist.
483
00:25:15.440 --> 00:25:17.680
I can't draw a straight line with a ruler to
484
00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:19.519
save my life. I'm just saying.
485
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:21.079
That to people out there right now.
486
00:25:22.720 --> 00:25:26.839
So that picture with the babyrout blast that day whenn't
487
00:25:26.920 --> 00:25:29.799
happen and there was a picture because a lot of people,
488
00:25:29.920 --> 00:25:31.160
you know, buy his artwork.
489
00:25:31.200 --> 00:25:32.279
You know, he's very well known.
490
00:25:32.880 --> 00:25:36.720
And uh, there was a picture a lady shared on
491
00:25:36.720 --> 00:25:42.559
on social media. Her whole house collapsed, everything had debris,
492
00:25:43.240 --> 00:25:46.960
you know, and that was the only thing that was
493
00:25:47.039 --> 00:25:50.920
standing in that house, in that apartment, I think was
494
00:25:51.079 --> 00:25:52.640
the painting that he did for her.
495
00:25:53.119 --> 00:25:56.079
And it was just so it was just so mind
496
00:25:56.400 --> 00:26:00.240
it was just so mind boggling, and it was I
497
00:26:00.240 --> 00:26:02.519
don't know, it's just like something like a phoenix, you know,
498
00:26:02.599 --> 00:26:03.839
from from the ashes.
499
00:26:04.359 --> 00:26:07.920
It just stood there and it was it was just
500
00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:11.839
like one of those pictures that even if you even
501
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:13.920
if you stage it, you can't get that effect.
502
00:26:14.000 --> 00:26:16.960
No, definitely not. And if people want to see that,
503
00:26:17.240 --> 00:26:19.359
then you need to go to your Facebook page and
504
00:26:19.400 --> 00:26:20.079
have a look at it.
505
00:26:21.000 --> 00:26:21.200
Yeah.
506
00:26:21.200 --> 00:26:25.559

00:26:32.799 --> 00:26:33.200
Definitely.

00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:39.519

00:26:43.119 --> 00:26:47.240
I have a beautiful organic tea selection with many tasty
513
00:26:47.359 --> 00:26:52.799
varities straight my basket.
514
00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:55.759
You see the little cot about coming across and then mentioned.
515
00:27:00.160 --> 00:27:00.880
Go too crazy.
516
00:27:01.039 --> 00:27:04.000
You don't go too crazy with the speaking of tea.
517
00:27:04.359 --> 00:27:07.079
I I was sharing on my stories.
518
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:07.599
Uh.
519
00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:10.440
I think maybe a day ago or two days ago,
520
00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:13.319
I shared a story on my uh, on my my
521
00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:18.200
stories on Instagram and on Facebook, there's a Lebins concoction
522
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:23.599
of tea what they call hut. They it's it's a
523
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:26.559
concoction of It's loosely translated to.
524
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:28.799
Like, you know, flowers. You know what I'm saying.
525
00:27:29.319 --> 00:27:32.799
So I put that thing on on my Instagram and.
526
00:27:32.680 --> 00:27:36.240
People were just asking me, d ms, what's that? What's that?
527
00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:40.359
Somebody thought it was what it had edibles, you know,
528
00:27:40.440 --> 00:27:42.279
like something like weed or marijuana.
529
00:27:42.640 --> 00:27:44.200
I'm like, dude, it's tea.
530
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:44.799
It's tea.
531
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:49.000
Does everything have to be?
532
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:51.559
Does everything have to be? It's tea. It's just something.
533
00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:55.000
Because the cup that I had in that that story,
534
00:27:56.039 --> 00:27:59.559
it was actually my father's. It's a cup that you know,
535
00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:02.079
you put the tea in it and you let it
536
00:28:02.119 --> 00:28:04.039
step for five minutes and you cover it so it
537
00:28:04.079 --> 00:28:04.640
would steep.
538
00:28:04.680 --> 00:28:06.680
Well, it's just the thing.
539
00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:10.440
They would ask me, is there no, dude, you've never
540
00:28:10.480 --> 00:28:13.839
seen what tea looks like and it was just, it
541
00:28:13.960 --> 00:28:18.480
was just I found very found hardly tililating.
542
00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:20.680
Welcome to Britain. Would you.
543
00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:27.480
Oh my god, my mom has just said Nicole showed
544
00:28:27.519 --> 00:28:32.559

545
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:39.720
Respect, Yes, yes they do. He he gets worked for that.
546
00:28:39.880 --> 00:28:49.680
Sometimes that is respector respector to you respector Joseph respected,
547
00:28:49.839 --> 00:28:57.480
to Marina Joseph as well, respector r E s b E.
548
00:28:58.119 --> 00:29:01.079
Respector that I really do.
549
00:29:02.279 --> 00:29:04.880
What the hell? Get off? Get back in your boat
550
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:07.240
off now?
551
00:29:08.200 --> 00:29:09.039
I guess what's coming back?
552
00:29:12.240 --> 00:29:12.359
Now?
553
00:29:12.720 --> 00:29:18.559
Boy, it's coming I uh, isn't the movie Hour or something? Cheers.
554
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:20.319
I've been living on the under.
555
00:29:20.079 --> 00:29:23.319
The rock under the rock for the past few months.
556
00:29:23.160 --> 00:29:25.240
This one looks a bit weird. He's got a daughter
557
00:29:25.279 --> 00:29:26.759
in it with this once, it's going to be a
558
00:29:26.759 --> 00:29:27.359
bit mad.
559
00:29:27.599 --> 00:29:30.440
Oh, I wouldn't know, honestly.
560
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:33.200
I gotta check out what I have because, like I said,
561
00:29:33.200 --> 00:29:38.359
between studying and writing and ghost writing some things, I
562
00:29:38.440 --> 00:29:39.440
just hadn't had the time.
563
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:42.279
I literally sat down today and like, Okay, I'm going
564
00:29:42.359 --> 00:29:42.680
to do this.
565
00:29:42.759 --> 00:29:45.240
I had things to do around the house and I'm like,
566
00:29:45.400 --> 00:29:49.000
oh my god, I had I just Wow, it's November
567
00:29:49.200 --> 00:29:51.319
and next week, you know, Thanksgiving.
568
00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:53.920
The time just went by fast.
569
00:29:54.440 --> 00:29:56.279
It has not. I think this whole year is just
570
00:29:56.519 --> 00:29:59.440
flown by. I think we've all just been in time walk.
571
00:30:00.400 --> 00:30:04.880
Well, it is, it is, It's just it's you know.
572
00:30:05.160 --> 00:30:07.400
I don't know if you've watched this movie called I
573
00:30:07.440 --> 00:30:09.559
don't know if it was called groundhog Day.
574
00:30:10.160 --> 00:30:13.759
Groundhog Day. That's that's what it was to me.
575
00:30:14.119 --> 00:30:17.279
I just want to say hello to Melissa Savage. Let's
576
00:30:17.319 --> 00:30:22.200
just come in him, Melissa, how you doing? And and
577
00:30:22.240 --> 00:30:24.680
there is another one. I'm going to attempt this. This
578
00:30:24.799 --> 00:30:25.920
is going to be really bad.
579
00:30:26.920 --> 00:30:29.599
Let me guess. Theodora, Oh, thank god for that, thank
580
00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:29.920
you more.
581
00:30:35.279 --> 00:30:36.480
Yeah, I was gonna say.
582
00:30:39.119 --> 00:30:40.519
The best of you.
583
00:30:40.759 --> 00:30:43.079
Oh god, you saved the day, thank you so much.
584
00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:48.599
She was she she she is, she's a she's a
585
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:50.480
good friend. She's a good friend.
586
00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:56.200
Of Mine's Theodora very very smart, very smart girl.
587
00:30:56.559 --> 00:30:59.000
You know, Gal, Well, of course they are, and they're
588
00:30:59.039 --> 00:30:59.759
your friends.
589
00:31:00.720 --> 00:31:03.519
Well you'll be surprised. Sometimes some of my friends don't
590
00:31:03.519 --> 00:31:04.680
turn smart after a while.
591
00:31:05.160 --> 00:31:12.039
Last day, said Maury said, go, yeah, that's an Essex thing.
592
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:17.960
Yeah it is. I love them. I thought they thought
593
00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:24.119
Americans go, what's up, girl? They've got the girl? She said,
594
00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:25.920
said go you and go.
595
00:31:27.279 --> 00:31:27.960
No he didn't.
596
00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:29.720
What did you say?
597
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:32.440
Well, you know something, I'm probably spending too much time.
598
00:31:32.799 --> 00:31:34.759
I'm spending too much time with you. You know.
599
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:45.839
I wanted to add something about Mark.
600
00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:47.240
I'm here, I'm here.
601
00:31:47.799 --> 00:31:50.759
Yeah, I wanted to add something about about Mark. And
602
00:31:50.759 --> 00:31:52.680
I'm probably thinking, probably it's going to be the first
603
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:53.440
time he hears it.
604
00:31:54.680 --> 00:31:58.559
Mark used to be one of my clients when I
605
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:03.599
own the only and first got shop in Lebanon, when
606
00:32:03.640 --> 00:32:06.240
I was living in Lebanon. He used to be one
607
00:32:06.279 --> 00:32:08.759
of my clients from the very early days that I
608
00:32:08.799 --> 00:32:13.599
opened the shop. And and you know we you know,
609
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:18.119
I moved back home here to Brooklyn, and uh, a
610
00:32:18.119 --> 00:32:21.759
few years later, you know Mark, you know, he also moved,
611
00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:24.759
you know, he moved abroad, you know, to the US.
612
00:32:25.440 --> 00:32:28.079
And it was just all these youth Ever since I
613
00:32:28.079 --> 00:32:30.119
saw him the first time he stepped into my shop,
614
00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:33.960
I automatically had a character in my mind.
615
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:36.039
And I even changed his name in my book. It
616
00:32:36.160 --> 00:32:39.039
was it was literally.
617
00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:42.440
Like about like the profile, the way that the character looks.
618
00:32:42.839 --> 00:32:47.640
His physical characteristics are somewhat like Mark. His personality a
619
00:32:47.680 --> 00:32:52.319
little bit. And now Mark Mark in the book, in
620
00:32:52.400 --> 00:32:54.599
the second book, has a lot of things he's going
621
00:32:54.680 --> 00:32:57.039
to be dealing with, you know what I'm saying. So
622
00:32:57.200 --> 00:32:59.960
you know how writers are always based characters and people
623
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:03.039
on you know, people in real life or something.
624
00:33:03.960 --> 00:33:06.720
Mark is one of these people whose name I just
625
00:33:06.720 --> 00:33:08.960
didn't change in the book.
626
00:33:09.400 --> 00:33:11.960
You know, like he's a Mark, and he's a Mark
627
00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:13.079
to me and he will always be.
628
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:15.880
I could not. I can't come up with a name
629
00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:21.480
in my mind that would fit his personality. So yeah,
630
00:33:21.519 --> 00:33:22.160
I did.
631
00:33:22.319 --> 00:33:25.160
He's He's one of He's one of the sweetest people
632
00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:26.400
you will ever meet, you.
633
00:33:26.400 --> 00:33:28.160
Know, is very lovely.
634
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:29.480
He is.
635
00:33:30.839 --> 00:33:33.599
Usually writers write about characters that they don't want.
636
00:33:39.279 --> 00:33:42.119
Usually usually people usually writers write about characters, you know,
637
00:33:42.160 --> 00:33:44.920
they take inspiration from characters sometimes they don't like.
638
00:33:45.279 --> 00:33:47.000
You know, so they can write, you know, the villain
639
00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:50.160
or the you know, whoever is in the book. But
640
00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:54.079
I used I used Markings as a character in my
641
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:57.720
book to write down because, like I said, it was
642
00:33:57.799 --> 00:33:58.240
it was just.
643
00:33:58.200 --> 00:34:00.960
Something that just fits so perfect, because.
644
00:34:01.200 --> 00:34:05.160
What I imagine Mark in the book, how his personnel would grow,
645
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:08.000
and how he's just like very you know, he goes
646
00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:09.360
along with Polly with a lot.
647
00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:12.519
Of things, when when she is dealing with so many things.
648
00:34:12.559 --> 00:34:15.039
He's always in his little world of just getting the
649
00:34:15.159 --> 00:34:19.079
job done, you know, very professional getting the job done,
650
00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:22.519
but knows how also a party and be a good friend,
651
00:34:23.000 --> 00:34:23.239
you know.
652
00:34:23.320 --> 00:34:26.000
But he's he's not her main friend because he's our
653
00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:27.000
colleague at work.
654
00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:30.079
And I just wanted, I just wanted to write something
655
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:32.880
once where not everybody's fighting at their job.
656
00:34:33.320 --> 00:34:37.239
It was just a funeral home. Everybody's friendly. Of course,
657
00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:38.679
there's going to be a couple of people that she
658
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:41.800
not doesn't get along with. The book is written the
659
00:34:41.800 --> 00:34:46.480
first person, so these are her thoughts, and that's that's
660
00:34:47.599 --> 00:34:48.320
that's what I want.
661
00:34:48.519 --> 00:34:50.400
I wanted just something, you know, just a little bit
662
00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:52.599
simple and just goes with the flow. It doesn't have
663
00:34:52.639 --> 00:34:55.039
to be there always has to be a climax with
664
00:34:55.119 --> 00:34:58.559
somebody at work or you know, like a clinics like something.
665
00:34:58.320 --> 00:34:59.719
Happened at work.
666
00:35:00.360 --> 00:35:03.519
Just yeah, he's he's one of those characters that he
667
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:06.039
is a mark in real life and a mark in
668
00:35:06.039 --> 00:35:09.119
my book. Yeah, this is the first time I probably
669
00:35:09.159 --> 00:35:10.840
ever like you know, said it to him, and I'm
670
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:13.320
pretty sure he's going to be very surprised, and he
671
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:15.320
was one of the first people did like a little
672
00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:18.719
mini focus with my book, but him not knowing even
673
00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:21.280
he didn't even know, so that's the first time he
674
00:35:21.360 --> 00:35:21.920
finds out.
675
00:35:23.159 --> 00:35:32.280
I'm just just letting people know that I'm not Anthony
676
00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:39.480
your But what's in a name just shows you, huh, well.
677
00:35:39.599 --> 00:35:45.719
Well, some well some sometimes some names determine characters. Sometimes
678
00:35:45.719 --> 00:35:49.320
the simplest names to determine a character in your book.
679
00:35:50.239 --> 00:35:50.480
You know.
680
00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:54.719
Some when when when I was doing like a little
681
00:35:55.039 --> 00:35:57.559
survey between my colleagues that were I'm like, what do
682
00:35:57.599 --> 00:36:00.480
you think of the name Polly into a more, it's
683
00:36:00.480 --> 00:36:03.400
a little it sounds like she's a little prudish, you know,
684
00:36:03.679 --> 00:36:04.599
it's a prutish name.
685
00:36:04.639 --> 00:36:10.519
For some reason, I'm like, perfect, that's what I wanted people. Perfect.
686
00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:13.199
I did a little survey, you know, between colleagues, people
687
00:36:13.199 --> 00:36:17.320
I write with over the years, and I just, I
688
00:36:17.320 --> 00:36:18.840
don't know, for some reason, I came up with the
689
00:36:18.840 --> 00:36:21.559
word Polly. I didn't come up with you know, your
690
00:36:21.679 --> 00:36:25.960
your other type, what do you call in quotations Gothic names?
691
00:36:25.960 --> 00:36:29.079
No, I just Polly, And everybody said me, she's she
692
00:36:29.119 --> 00:36:32.880
sounds she's prudish or well or well reserved. I'm like,
693
00:36:33.000 --> 00:36:36.639
that's where I want her to be. I'm that I'm
694
00:36:36.639 --> 00:36:37.280
fine with that.
695
00:36:37.760 --> 00:36:44.639
And people who who's who, who are into astrology would
696
00:36:44.719 --> 00:36:49.159
understand why I had I named certain characters certain names.
697
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:52.920
You know, people are listening now, A lot.
698
00:36:52.840 --> 00:36:58.440
Of them are are our horoscope officionados and they were
699
00:36:58.480 --> 00:37:00.559
and they're like, really the studying their into it, and
700
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:03.800
they would understand why I need certain characters the way
701
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:06.719
I need them. So people will be able to pick
702
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:09.119
up on some of these things and hints in the
703
00:37:09.119 --> 00:37:11.559
book for later on. They'll probably be able to guess
704
00:37:12.119 --> 00:37:14.360
what's what may happen in the second book.
705
00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:22.280
Yeah, So I was going to ask about maybe an
706
00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:26.639
audible book for these nice little books you got going on.
707
00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:31.280
I'm thinking about an audible book, but I just haven't found.
708
00:37:32.519 --> 00:37:37.039
I just haven't found the right what do you call it.
709
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:39.400
It's just something that I do want to do an
710
00:37:39.440 --> 00:37:41.960
audible book. I think it's very important that you do
711
00:37:42.000 --> 00:37:43.840
an audible book. But I was thinking about doing my
712
00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:46.760
audible book when I'm done with the second book. But
713
00:37:47.199 --> 00:37:50.079
you know, I haven't really given it much thought about
714
00:37:50.119 --> 00:37:52.920
the audible book, to be honest with you.
715
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:56.559
Yeah, No, that's understandable. Yeah, we've decided to do our own.
716
00:37:57.960 --> 00:38:00.320
Oh I'm pretty sure. Well, you guys don't need really
717
00:38:00.480 --> 00:38:01.639
anybody to do.
718
00:38:02.000 --> 00:38:03.960
I mean, I can't be doing an ordable book on
719
00:38:04.000 --> 00:38:05.119
my own.
720
00:38:04.719 --> 00:38:06.679
Can you menagine an honorable book?
721
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:12.679
Mean with me as a narrator. Can you imagine? She went,
722
00:38:12.880 --> 00:38:15.280
I woke up, I got a cup of core fee.
723
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:24.800
Him. Can you imagine that? Yeah? Yeah, I mean, I mean,
724
00:38:25.239 --> 00:38:28.199
I mean Polly. Polly is not from any certain area.
725
00:38:28.360 --> 00:38:30.440
You know what I'm saying. I don't want I don't
726
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:31.519
want to affiliate.
727
00:38:31.119 --> 00:38:34.760
Her character with a with an area in the United States,
728
00:38:35.079 --> 00:38:37.840
because she's for everybody. The book doesn't even have an
729
00:38:37.880 --> 00:38:42.000
area where where it's affiliated where you know, everything it's
730
00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:42.639
affiliated with.
731
00:38:45.800 --> 00:38:47.039
Yes, that.
732
00:38:48.679 --> 00:38:53.599
My uh my, my, my professor in college when I
733
00:38:53.719 --> 00:38:56.679
was talking to huff and I was asking her, you know,
734
00:38:57.920 --> 00:38:59.880
what do you think about me writing a book now,
735
00:39:00.079 --> 00:39:04.239
not having you know, any you know, places, not naming.
736
00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:07.079
Any cities or places of course, you name homes, you
737
00:39:07.159 --> 00:39:09.079
name whatever. And she she.
738
00:39:09.119 --> 00:39:13.159
Told me, Maureen, you can write a book about somebody
739
00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:15.599
inside of one room. You can write a whole book,
740
00:39:15.880 --> 00:39:18.559
you know. And I'm like, okay, I mean I've read
741
00:39:18.559 --> 00:39:20.400
so many books. Of course, I've read like, for example,
742
00:39:20.440 --> 00:39:23.519
you know, gir Allan Poe's uh Pin in the Pendulum.
743
00:39:23.960 --> 00:39:25.880
You know, you got so many books that take here.
744
00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:28.000
But you know, when you're writing, you don't think about
745
00:39:28.000 --> 00:39:30.280
these things, and then you think, ah, can I do that?
746
00:39:30.559 --> 00:39:31.960
Can I not do that? Of course?
747
00:39:32.920 --> 00:39:36.280
You know what when an artist does it's really not
748
00:39:36.320 --> 00:39:40.599
probably allowable by other people to do if you're at
749
00:39:40.639 --> 00:39:42.920
school or something like that depends on what you're studying.
750
00:39:42.920 --> 00:39:44.880
But you know, when you're the one who's creating, you
751
00:39:44.960 --> 00:39:46.400
got to you know, push a little bit out the box.
752
00:39:46.440 --> 00:39:49.000
I didn't do anything different, but just I didn't put
753
00:39:49.000 --> 00:39:50.639
anything down as areas.
754
00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:54.480
And that's why the book was really enjoyed by by
755
00:39:54.519 --> 00:39:57.360
so many people. They would, you know, send many d
756
00:39:57.559 --> 00:40:02.119
ms and they really enjoyed it. And I was happy
757
00:40:02.159 --> 00:40:04.880
that I did something that brought at a little bit
758
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:08.440
of you know, happiness to somebody. That's my biggest reward
759
00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:12.000
to be, to be honest, that was my biggest reward.
760
00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:14.519
People actually enjoyed something that I did. You know, like
761
00:40:14.559 --> 00:40:18.000
when you bake a cake, you know, and and everybody
762
00:40:18.079 --> 00:40:20.719
enjoys it. It's you get a little satisfaction with it
763
00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:23.199
that you brought smalls somebody's face.
764
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:28.639
Yeah, yeah, I'm kind of get an idea, yes, yeah,
765
00:40:28.960 --> 00:40:29.320
kind of.
766
00:40:31.480 --> 00:40:32.840
You don't make cakes, I take it.
767
00:40:33.000 --> 00:40:36.039
I don't know. That's why I said, I get a
768
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:38.119
rough idea.
769
00:40:39.480 --> 00:40:42.760
Listen, I'm a terrible baker. I'm a terrible baker, you know,
770
00:40:42.840 --> 00:40:45.079
but I mean couldn't anything.
771
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:46.679
You know, when you when you when you make food,
772
00:40:47.079 --> 00:40:49.119
there's a little satisfaction that goes let's say, you know
773
00:40:49.159 --> 00:40:51.559
when when people around you enjoy it.
774
00:40:51.639 --> 00:40:52.440
You know what I'm saying.
775
00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:56.639
Yeah, definitely. So how do you like set up to
776
00:40:56.719 --> 00:40:59.199
go write some of your book, Like what sort of
777
00:40:59.280 --> 00:41:00.440
surroundings you need?
778
00:41:02.280 --> 00:41:05.440
Well, currently, my only surrounding is my you know, New
779
00:41:05.519 --> 00:41:06.880
York City, Brooklyn apartment.
780
00:41:08.480 --> 00:41:13.000
It's it's very to be quite frankly, it's it's a.
781
00:41:13.000 --> 00:41:17.000
Little hard because I am not leaving the house to
782
00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:19.559
go places that I usually would.
783
00:41:20.159 --> 00:41:22.840
I'm always at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
784
00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:25.480
We have that met here in New York City, and
785
00:41:25.519 --> 00:41:27.639
there's just so many things and I don't.
786
00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:28.599
Sit and look at the art.
787
00:41:28.679 --> 00:41:30.559
I see it and look at the characters, and I just,
788
00:41:31.039 --> 00:41:33.519
you know, how an artist starts drawing things.
789
00:41:33.719 --> 00:41:36.440
I draw characters in my mind. Does that make sense
790
00:41:36.480 --> 00:41:36.639
to you?
791
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:43.159
Yeah, So I would write these stories. And I used
792
00:41:43.159 --> 00:41:46.239
to deal with antiques quite a bit, and it's just
793
00:41:46.840 --> 00:41:52.000
there's something amazing about looking at antiques and history and
794
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:52.480
and all that.
795
00:41:52.599 --> 00:41:56.440
Just my mind has to go somewhere else to write.
796
00:41:56.679 --> 00:41:56.920
Yeah.
797
00:41:57.320 --> 00:41:58.840
And I was going to say, I think I know
798
00:41:58.880 --> 00:42:02.559
whether it is do you like watch people?
799
00:42:02.920 --> 00:42:05.800
I'm gonna say people watching the carry I do.
800
00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:14.119
I do it a lot, especially I'm on the subway.
801
00:42:14.519 --> 00:42:16.679
Well, it's not like watching them watching them.
802
00:42:16.840 --> 00:42:19.639
I you know, like I mentioned before, it could be
803
00:42:19.679 --> 00:42:23.280
a tick, it could be something they're doing. It's and
804
00:42:24.000 --> 00:42:25.719
I always have my notebook with me and I just
805
00:42:25.760 --> 00:42:31.519
write notes down. It's my My process is very it's
806
00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:34.960
not it's not organized, but it's it's an organized mess.
807
00:42:35.559 --> 00:42:37.599
So I'm the only one who could read those notes.
808
00:42:38.159 --> 00:42:42.880
You see my filing cabinet, actually, Nicoles, I had a very.
809
00:42:42.719 --> 00:42:46.639
Neat filing cabinet. I do.
810
00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:49.199
But when it comes to my writing, I have a
811
00:42:49.239 --> 00:42:52.360
notebook and it's just it's it's an organ The notebook,
812
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:56.280
the way I write the notes are an organized mess.
813
00:42:56.280 --> 00:42:59.880
Because that's that's my train of thought exactly.
814
00:43:02.239 --> 00:43:05.199
I was going to say that Nicole's mom says, the
815
00:43:05.280 --> 00:43:08.880
mind can never be locked up many what's that?
816
00:43:09.360 --> 00:43:11.559
And then I tost your brish sometimes.
817
00:43:11.159 --> 00:43:16.280
Up my way whatever way. It's amazing what you're explaining.
818
00:43:17.000 --> 00:43:23.039
I love people watching. She does like guessing their characters
819
00:43:23.559 --> 00:43:26.280
and you that said, Maureen and I always watch people
820
00:43:26.400 --> 00:43:28.239
and her mind wonders about them.
821
00:43:30.840 --> 00:43:34.400
We watch people not to I mean not to you
822
00:43:34.440 --> 00:43:38.320
know sometimes people sometimes people watch people for the for.
823
00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:41.719
The intent of.
824
00:43:40.440 --> 00:43:43.119
Of, you know, saying negative things about them. You know
825
00:43:43.159 --> 00:43:47.519
what I'm saying. It's it's not that I just we
826
00:43:47.639 --> 00:43:51.039
just watch people and you know, wondering about certain things.
827
00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:54.039
And you can learn a lot from people just by
828
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:56.159
sitting down and watching them.
829
00:43:56.599 --> 00:44:00.280
Definitely just doing nothing. You cannot be judgmental if you
830
00:44:00.400 --> 00:44:02.199
gotta watch the mind.
831
00:44:02.639 --> 00:44:04.639
I just wonder what's going to happen, you know, Like
832
00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:09.440
sometimes I'd be sometimes walking around and and a lot
833
00:44:09.480 --> 00:44:13.719
of people judge mothers usually who have that hardness around
834
00:44:13.719 --> 00:44:17.599
their children, you know, little kids, you know, like four,
835
00:44:17.760 --> 00:44:20.760
no less than four, like three four year olds, they
836
00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:22.400
have a harness when they walk with them.
837
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:24.599
Here in New York City, and people would be staring
838
00:44:24.599 --> 00:44:26.920
at that wah, that's a dog. But you got a
839
00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:28.079
dog there, you know.
840
00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:31.000
And I'm thinking in my mind, well, you are very
841
00:44:31.039 --> 00:44:32.719
hard to run around sometimes you live.
842
00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:34.079
In a city. You don't want the kid to run,
843
00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:36.639
you know, into the street. You don't get hit by
844
00:44:36.679 --> 00:44:41.920
a car. It's it's it's very People judge a lot.
845
00:44:42.519 --> 00:44:45.960
But I watch just too. It's like a story that's
846
00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:48.400
happening in front of me. This is the thing.
847
00:44:48.480 --> 00:44:51.480
I sit down, I'd be watching somebody eating an apple.
848
00:44:52.719 --> 00:44:54.400
There was there was this man on.
849
00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:57.079
The subway, this before COVID. It was this man sitting
850
00:44:57.079 --> 00:45:00.159
on the subway eating an apple. And for one thing,
851
00:45:00.280 --> 00:45:03.239
for sure, I noticed that his teeth, you know, he
852
00:45:03.280 --> 00:45:05.119
had he had what.
853
00:45:05.079 --> 00:45:09.039
Do you call it, what do you call artificial teeth?
854
00:45:09.079 --> 00:45:09.880
I forgot the word.
855
00:45:10.599 --> 00:45:14.880
He had artificial teeth, And and I was just he
856
00:45:14.960 --> 00:45:18.559
was just eating and because the apple was so tough
857
00:45:19.079 --> 00:45:22.519
and cup, because you could hear the crunch his his
858
00:45:22.639 --> 00:45:24.079
false teeth, the.
859
00:45:24.000 --> 00:45:27.000
Top part got stuck in got stuck in the apple.
860
00:45:27.559 --> 00:45:29.840
And I was just amazing.
861
00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:33.039
You know, he just pushed it off, took his teeth out,
862
00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:36.320
and you put it back in his mouth like nothing happened,
863
00:45:36.639 --> 00:45:38.280
you know, it's it's it.
864
00:45:39.079 --> 00:45:41.760
It was just amazing. I mean, and I'm thinking.
865
00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:44.320
Wow, the amount of you know, pressure we put, you
866
00:45:44.360 --> 00:45:46.519
know by biting, but you know, biting into an apple
867
00:45:46.559 --> 00:45:48.920
with our fun teeth, you know, it makes you make
868
00:45:49.000 --> 00:45:53.440
me appreciate my teeth, to be honest. Then there's a
869
00:45:53.440 --> 00:45:55.760
difference between Like I said, there's a difference between watching
870
00:45:55.800 --> 00:45:59.320
people and judging thumb, but watching people on writing, it's
871
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:01.039
like a movie happening in.
872
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:05.039
Front of you. That's the real reality TV going on.
873
00:46:05.440 --> 00:46:07.239
Yeah, definitely, Because me and my mom would sit in
874
00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:09.480
the car and we'd see like two people talking and
875
00:46:09.559 --> 00:46:11.800
we'd make like our own little scenes and guess what
876
00:46:11.840 --> 00:46:13.559
they're saying and stuff. It was really funny.
877
00:46:14.679 --> 00:46:18.519
Yes, yes, I get it. You know, my dad and
878
00:46:18.519 --> 00:46:19.559
I watch people a lot.
879
00:46:20.840 --> 00:46:23.679
He's an artist, and we just sit down and we
880
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:25.360
come up with things and I'm like, oh, look at
881
00:46:25.360 --> 00:46:27.519
this person, what are they doing? Why are they doing that?
882
00:46:28.039 --> 00:46:30.920
Then you would probably do something like ah.
883
00:46:30.280 --> 00:46:37.039
Okay, you know that's realization that happens. Oh okay, I
884
00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:39.440
get you learn things. You don't have an open mind?
885
00:46:40.159 --> 00:46:44.199
What are you doing? How dare you.
886
00:46:45.679 --> 00:46:48.440
Yeah about having an open mind? Yeah? No, it's good
887
00:46:48.440 --> 00:46:50.119
to have an open mind, especially when you like you know,
888
00:46:51.000 --> 00:46:53.920
you see I I do that. I used to do
889
00:46:54.000 --> 00:46:56.679
that well way before COVID. Just you know, watch people
890
00:46:56.760 --> 00:46:59.840
just really like try and work out what they're thinking.
891
00:47:00.039 --> 00:47:01.599
You know. I kind of that store.
892
00:47:02.079 --> 00:47:08.039
Sorry I judged judging by your book, I think I
893
00:47:08.039 --> 00:47:12.239
think you have a stocking you.
894
00:47:12.360 --> 00:47:23.039
Yeah, that's how he hunted me down. It hut me
895
00:47:23.119 --> 00:47:24.199
down online and then.
896
00:47:24.119 --> 00:47:24.880
That was it.
897
00:47:25.039 --> 00:47:29.360
The wonder the narrator didn't want to touch it.
898
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:34.679
I want to talk about now about your clinical medical assistance.
899
00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:38.679
So obviously you're learning how to draw blood off people
900
00:47:38.840 --> 00:47:40.920
and stuff like that. How do you find that?
901
00:47:42.599 --> 00:47:45.320
Well, you see, the thing is I went I was,
902
00:47:45.760 --> 00:47:48.039
I went into this as how am I going to
903
00:47:48.079 --> 00:47:49.159
explain this to you guys?
904
00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:50.360
It happened.
905
00:47:50.440 --> 00:47:55.440
I stumbled upon a job work working in a in
906
00:47:55.440 --> 00:47:58.280
a doctor's office, okay, and it was supposed to be.
907
00:47:58.159 --> 00:47:59.960
Something that was part part time.
908
00:48:00.280 --> 00:48:02.280
I'm not gonna go into details how I stumbled upon
909
00:48:02.320 --> 00:48:07.960
this job, but and I'm thinking, huh, this is interesting.
910
00:48:08.000 --> 00:48:09.800
And then you got to know medical terms, and you
911
00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:13.199
got to know certain things and then in okay, let
912
00:48:13.199 --> 00:48:18.360
me go study anatomy physiology. You know, I mean, let's
913
00:48:18.480 --> 00:48:21.239
you know, both of the wall. Let's go sayn Ami physiology,
914
00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:23.519
Like I'm going to go study you know, math equation
915
00:48:23.679 --> 00:48:27.199
or something like that. And and I registered in the classroom.
916
00:48:27.280 --> 00:48:29.480
To my surprise, a lot of people were going to
917
00:48:29.599 --> 00:48:30.199
med school.
918
00:48:30.559 --> 00:48:32.639
When I say going to Mexico, I mean becoming.
919
00:48:32.400 --> 00:48:39.639
Doctors or registered nurses or nurse practitioner MPs.
920
00:48:40.360 --> 00:48:41.960
They take this. This is a course.
921
00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:46.239
It's a prerequisite for the mother prerequisite of all courses.
922
00:48:46.800 --> 00:48:48.719
And I took the course, and mind you, it was
923
00:48:48.760 --> 00:48:50.800
not an easy course. I think we started out like
924
00:48:51.519 --> 00:48:53.320
I don't know, it was one one of the classes.
925
00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:54.039
We started out.
926
00:48:54.239 --> 00:48:57.000
Twenty eight and then we end at the end of
927
00:48:57.039 --> 00:49:00.639
the semester, we're probably maybe ten people eight people in
928
00:49:00.639 --> 00:49:03.760
the class. And you're a professor who would just like
929
00:49:04.119 --> 00:49:08.039
tell us how important there certain things are when you're
930
00:49:08.360 --> 00:49:09.599
when you're a clinical.
931
00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:12.559
Medical assistant, you do you do many things that a
932
00:49:12.639 --> 00:49:13.199
nurse does.
933
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:16.960
Okay, I just want to clarify that medical assistants are
934
00:49:17.000 --> 00:49:17.760
not nurses.
935
00:49:18.039 --> 00:49:23.800
We can we we do EKGs, draw blood, basic life
936
00:49:23.800 --> 00:49:26.960
support and all these things. And you know we also
937
00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:28.039
do you know.
938
00:49:29.239 --> 00:49:31.880
Computerize electronical health record system.
939
00:49:31.920 --> 00:49:34.280
We work in those you know what I'm saying. So
940
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:37.639
they do between a lot of administrative work and hands
941
00:49:37.679 --> 00:49:39.159
on work. And that's what I.
942
00:49:39.119 --> 00:49:41.039
Wanted to do because I enjoy because I can't be
943
00:49:41.079 --> 00:49:43.039
sitting at a desk. I want to be, you know,
944
00:49:43.159 --> 00:49:45.320
hands on with people all day long, you know. And
945
00:49:45.360 --> 00:49:47.159
I don't want to work and pull ten and twelve
946
00:49:47.199 --> 00:49:47.960
hour shifts.
947
00:49:48.239 --> 00:49:51.440
I don't have. I don't have that capability like nurses do.
948
00:49:51.679 --> 00:49:54.800
So just saying, since when you go to a doctor's
949
00:49:54.800 --> 00:49:58.519
office here in the United States, usually usually it's the
950
00:49:58.559 --> 00:50:00.840
medical assent. It takes your blood price, sure, takes down
951
00:50:00.840 --> 00:50:03.039
your medical your medicine.
952
00:50:02.679 --> 00:50:05.280
List and all that droves your blood.
953
00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:07.480
It depends that, you know, they want to send an
954
00:50:07.519 --> 00:50:09.119
in or send it to an outer lab.
955
00:50:09.599 --> 00:50:14.679
Uh ekg. It depends they do the medical The medical
956
00:50:14.719 --> 00:50:17.440
system in the United State is very branched out. It's
957
00:50:17.559 --> 00:50:21.320
very branched out, and still and still there's a lot.
958
00:50:21.119 --> 00:50:24.199
To do, and still it is it is suffering a lot.
959
00:50:24.519 --> 00:50:27.400
So but on the other hand, creates a lot of jobs.
960
00:50:27.920 --> 00:50:31.800
But yet still nurses and doctors are still overworked. So
961
00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:34.440
that would be another thing to go into. But that's
962
00:50:34.480 --> 00:50:37.599
what medical assistants do. Uh yeah, I mean they would
963
00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:39.960
tell me, Marine, how come you don't go? But all
964
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:43.079
these courses, taking all the where I'm learning, I can,
965
00:50:43.400 --> 00:50:45.239
I can. It's the gateway for me to go and
966
00:50:45.280 --> 00:50:46.039
study nursing.
967
00:50:46.599 --> 00:50:47.880
But I don't want to. I don't want to be
968
00:50:47.920 --> 00:50:48.320
a nurse.
969
00:50:48.880 --> 00:50:49.119
You know.
970
00:50:49.199 --> 00:50:49.960
That's yeah.
971
00:50:50.239 --> 00:50:55.159
Yeah. A friend of mine the other day who works
972
00:50:55.159 --> 00:50:56.159
in the medical field, was.
973
00:50:56.159 --> 00:50:58.440
Tell me, Marine, you know, look at your grades. You know,
974
00:50:58.920 --> 00:51:01.000
once you go be nurse. I don't want.
975
00:51:01.039 --> 00:51:03.079
If I want to be a nurse, I would have
976
00:51:03.119 --> 00:51:05.559
gone to a different school, and I've been a nurse,
977
00:51:05.599 --> 00:51:08.159
but I don't want to be one, because you know,
978
00:51:08.360 --> 00:51:10.079
I love writing and.
979
00:51:11.360 --> 00:51:12.239
It is my job.
980
00:51:12.599 --> 00:51:14.800
I do make a I do make a livelihood out
981
00:51:14.800 --> 00:51:18.480
of it, and not just my book. I write for
982
00:51:18.559 --> 00:51:20.639
other people. I do make a livelihood out of it.
983
00:51:21.239 --> 00:51:24.639
And I just I just stumbled upon the smoke feel.
984
00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:25.840
It just started with one.
985
00:51:26.159 --> 00:51:27.599
You know. It's like a bag of chips.
986
00:51:27.880 --> 00:51:30.559
You start with one chip and then you start eating
987
00:51:30.960 --> 00:51:34.920
and then you're done. So I started taking these I
988
00:51:34.960 --> 00:51:39.119
started doing these courses in college and I'm like, okay,
989
00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:40.920
and then I went and then I find myself I have.
990
00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:45.480
Only two courses left I go, really, I have two
991
00:51:45.519 --> 00:51:47.280
courses left and I'm done.
992
00:51:49.119 --> 00:51:51.960
Yeah, but you know, you guys know how much I
993
00:51:52.000 --> 00:51:55.599
study or I do is study for somebody. I'm being
994
00:51:55.599 --> 00:51:58.199
a nurse. Even you have to study a lot. There's
995
00:51:58.239 --> 00:52:00.360
a lot of things you have to you have to
996
00:52:00.400 --> 00:52:04.760
study for. So it's yeah, it's not easy.
997
00:52:04.960 --> 00:52:08.760
It's tough. A lot of people drop out. And I'm
998
00:52:08.760 --> 00:52:11.800
going to tell you it was like sometimes I wonder
999
00:52:11.880 --> 00:52:14.079
like why is this that way? Why is that that way?
1000
00:52:14.239 --> 00:52:17.639
And teachers are professors and they're not teachers or professors
1001
00:52:17.639 --> 00:52:19.880
and doctors, and when they're teaching in the medical field,
1002
00:52:20.119 --> 00:52:22.280
it's a whole different story. When you're going to college
1003
00:52:22.360 --> 00:52:25.719
learning I don't know business or or accounting, because when
1004
00:52:25.719 --> 00:52:28.159
you make a mistake, that's if you're done. You're fired,
1005
00:52:28.239 --> 00:52:30.960
you know, lawsuit, you can kill somebody. You get what
1006
00:52:31.039 --> 00:52:34.440
I'm saying. You're saying, you.
1007
00:52:34.400 --> 00:52:38.320
Know, no, no, sorry, it's your's your best friend. Mark.
1008
00:52:38.400 --> 00:52:40.320
He's just funny, naughty.
1009
00:52:40.760 --> 00:52:43.519
Yeah, he's being naughty, of course he is.
1010
00:52:43.559 --> 00:52:45.679
He went, he went, oh my god, there's a British
1011
00:52:45.760 --> 00:52:47.760
drug queen names back chips.
1012
00:52:49.079 --> 00:52:57.239
Oh my god, Mark to lame the mood.
1013
00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:07.000
Okay, then alone.

00:53:17.480 --> 00:53:17.599
Want.

You've broke him.
1018
00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:22.960
I want to know. It's sorry.
1019
00:53:24.199 --> 00:53:31.920
That Mauren Wayne was busting out his spice girls. He's going,
1020
00:53:36.280 --> 00:53:36.960
I know which.
1021
00:53:36.760 --> 00:53:42.519
One you like? I know which you Mauren like me.
1022
00:53:42.599 --> 00:53:46.320
It's working with what's his name? What's his name, Jonathan?
1023
00:53:46.360 --> 00:53:52.320
What's his what's his last name of Grease? Yes, Olivia,
1024
00:53:52.519 --> 00:53:56.760
I know I was the one doing all the exercises.
1025
00:53:58.920 --> 00:53:59.840
M hm.
1026
00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:04.280
Anyway, moving on, moving on. So I just want to know.
1027
00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:08.639
I mean, after these books, you know, twice twice, the demice,
1028
00:54:09.920 --> 00:54:14.199
what's next for you in the author industry?
1029
00:54:15.079 --> 00:54:18.760
Well, I'm I I really don't know. I mean, I'm
1030
00:54:18.760 --> 00:54:20.440
going to be of course, I'm going to be writing
1031
00:54:20.960 --> 00:54:24.559
other things. I just I have an idea. I have
1032
00:54:24.599 --> 00:54:27.000
an idea about what I want to write. But I'm
1033
00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:28.639
not going to talk.
1034
00:54:28.440 --> 00:54:29.079
About it now.
1035
00:54:30.000 --> 00:54:33.159
Okay, Okay, it's it's it's an like I said, it's
1036
00:54:33.400 --> 00:54:33.920
an idea.
1037
00:54:34.039 --> 00:54:34.920
I just wrote it down.
1038
00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:38.760
It's literally three sentences I wrote down. It just popped
1039
00:54:38.760 --> 00:54:41.039
in my mind the other day while I was staring.
1040
00:54:40.719 --> 00:54:41.239
At the wall.
1041
00:54:41.559 --> 00:54:44.480
Yeah, it was one I came home from I came
1042
00:54:44.519 --> 00:54:47.840
home from school and I was just sitting down and thinking,
1043
00:54:48.880 --> 00:54:51.679
I just had a very long day. It was a
1044
00:54:51.760 --> 00:54:53.559
very long evening. I go to school at night a
1045
00:54:53.599 --> 00:54:56.920
lot of times. Yeah, and thinking, it was very long evening,
1046
00:54:56.920 --> 00:54:58.920
you know, because we were doing fuel botomy, you know.
1047
00:54:58.880 --> 00:54:59.559
Blood drawers.
1048
00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:02.239
You know, when do that first draw, it's just it's
1049
00:55:02.320 --> 00:55:03.440
just very overwhelming.
1050
00:55:03.480 --> 00:55:05.960
You know, you're sticking a knee to somebody's skin.
1051
00:55:06.079 --> 00:55:08.159
You don't know what's going to happen, no matter how
1052
00:55:08.239 --> 00:55:11.519
much you practice on these on those fake fake arms.
1053
00:55:11.920 --> 00:55:12.400
I'm thinking.
1054
00:55:13.119 --> 00:55:15.360
And I came home and I'm looking at I took
1055
00:55:15.400 --> 00:55:16.880
off my lap coat, I came on, took up my
1056
00:55:16.920 --> 00:55:19.360
lap coat, and I'm just thinking, hmmm.
1057
00:55:20.119 --> 00:55:22.559
And then I'm staring at that wall. I wrote down
1058
00:55:22.599 --> 00:55:23.119
an idea.
1059
00:55:24.039 --> 00:55:28.079
I just I just sometimes can sit down and stare
1060
00:55:28.119 --> 00:55:29.800
at the wall and the ceiling.
1061
00:55:30.360 --> 00:55:32.599
I can. I can do it for a good two hours.
1062
00:55:32.800 --> 00:55:35.239
Yeah, my phone.
1063
00:55:35.679 --> 00:55:40.039
Without looking at my phone, without you know, turning, even
1064
00:55:40.039 --> 00:55:43.199
having the TV on as black noise, I mean white noise,
1065
00:55:43.800 --> 00:55:46.079
or not even having any music on. Sometimes I don't
1066
00:55:46.119 --> 00:55:49.440
even have music on. I just and I really don't
1067
00:55:49.519 --> 00:55:55.519
like silence. I'm a city girl myself. But then I
1068
00:55:55.639 --> 00:55:59.119
just for some reason, I need to zone now and
1069
00:55:59.320 --> 00:56:02.039
just manage and things because like the wall in the
1070
00:56:02.039 --> 00:56:05.559
ceiling or my word canvas, you would say, okay, look,
1071
00:56:05.719 --> 00:56:07.119
you know right on a notebook, I.
1072
00:56:07.039 --> 00:56:08.559
Do, but it's just your brain.
1073
00:56:09.039 --> 00:56:11.760
My brain needs to go somewhere else to come up
1074
00:56:11.800 --> 00:56:14.079
with things. Sometimes.
1075
00:56:16.039 --> 00:56:19.440
Yes, yeah, I listened to brain waves.
1076
00:56:21.440 --> 00:56:22.360
To brain waves.
1077
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:25.239
Yeah, it's like white noise, but it's like a kind
1078
00:56:25.280 --> 00:56:27.840
of a frequency.
1079
00:56:29.079 --> 00:56:32.000
I I don't listen to anything, not white noise, nothing.
1080
00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:38.679
Nothing, sorry, no, no, no, no, just just nothing.
1081
00:56:39.199 --> 00:56:41.760
I just come home and you know, and it it
1082
00:56:41.880 --> 00:56:45.679
becomes so quiet in my apartment because my apartment is
1083
00:56:46.440 --> 00:56:47.360
inside the building.
1084
00:56:47.519 --> 00:56:49.639
It's not it's not a street view, it's a side.
1085
00:56:49.719 --> 00:56:51.199
It's the backyard view.
1086
00:56:51.760 --> 00:56:54.039
And sometimes it can get so quiet that I can
1087
00:56:54.119 --> 00:56:59.480
hear my neighbors crappy music, you know, I can't the
1088
00:56:59.559 --> 00:57:01.400
baby cries all the time.
1089
00:57:02.079 --> 00:57:04.119
I can hear the dog that whimpers.
1090
00:57:04.760 --> 00:57:08.280
I can hear so many things, you know, just your
1091
00:57:08.320 --> 00:57:13.039
senses gets so highened. And and of course it's always
1092
00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:15.360
the people who have the crappiest taste in music have.
1093
00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:18.480
The loudest music. I don't know why, you know, it's
1094
00:57:18.599 --> 00:57:20.599
it's a thing. I have no idea. I don't know.
1095
00:57:21.039 --> 00:57:23.039
I just find everybody who has loud music playing all
1096
00:57:23.039 --> 00:57:24.119
the time at all hours.
1097
00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:27.159
Are you people only to have good taste? That's that's
1098
00:57:27.199 --> 00:57:30.119
my opinion. So I just look at.
1099
00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:30.519
It and invited.
1100
00:57:30.840 --> 00:57:32.800
I do have a few ideas. I just want to
1101
00:57:32.920 --> 00:57:36.119
finish with Twice the Demise. I haven't picked out a
1102
00:57:36.159 --> 00:57:38.760
subtitle or title for Twice the Demise. It's going to
1103
00:57:38.760 --> 00:57:41.039
be the second book. I wanted to do a stand
1104
00:57:41.079 --> 00:57:42.360
alone if you remember.
1105
00:57:42.679 --> 00:57:47.800
For Michael, I thought about it, and I pondered, and
1106
00:57:48.239 --> 00:57:50.199
I'm not. I'm not doing it.
1107
00:57:50.199 --> 00:57:53.039
It just didn't make It didn't make sense for me.
1108
00:57:53.239 --> 00:57:56.320
It didn't make sense for him. It didn't make sense
1109
00:57:56.320 --> 00:57:59.440
for him his character. I don't want to be stuck
1110
00:57:59.480 --> 00:58:01.400
in I don't want to be stuck in a point
1111
00:58:01.400 --> 00:58:02.840
where I'm writing about him in.
1112
00:58:02.840 --> 00:58:05.599
The first person. Yeah, not because I can.
1113
00:58:06.320 --> 00:58:08.840
I can, and I did it, but it's just when
1114
00:58:08.880 --> 00:58:11.760
I went you know, when you write something, you leave
1115
00:58:11.800 --> 00:58:13.199
it alone for a few weeks, and then you go
1116
00:58:13.280 --> 00:58:13.760
back to it.
1117
00:58:13.840 --> 00:58:16.239
Right then, what.
1118
00:58:16.039 --> 00:58:19.400
The heck was I thinking? You know, like no, and
1119
00:58:19.440 --> 00:58:21.440
then I start taking a red pen because I put
1120
00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:23.079
it out. I take a red pen and.
1121
00:58:23.000 --> 00:58:25.480
I just start, you know, crossing things out, and then
1122
00:58:25.519 --> 00:58:27.679
I remember, oh, okay, hold on a second, I'm not
1123
00:58:27.679 --> 00:58:31.480
correcting papers. This is mine, you know, So you are.
1124
00:58:31.679 --> 00:58:33.960
I mean, you are your worst critic, So I am
1125
00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:37.559
my worst critic. So it's it's it can be very
1126
00:58:37.599 --> 00:58:38.599
tiring sometimes.
1127
00:58:38.960 --> 00:58:43.159
No, yeah, definitely, yeah, I agree, I agree, So I
1128
00:58:43.559 --> 00:58:43.920
no ask.
1129
00:58:43.960 --> 00:58:50.159
I mean instead of well, I'm trying to think, have
1130
00:58:50.239 --> 00:58:52.639
you ever thought of any other general? Would you give
1131
00:58:52.679 --> 00:58:55.480
us a little bit of a clue what you have
1132
00:58:55.719 --> 00:58:56.920
thought about?
1133
00:58:56.480 --> 00:58:57.199
In what?
1134
00:58:57.800 --> 00:59:00.000
In the general? Bloody? How way wake up?
1135
00:59:02.239 --> 00:59:02.800
For about what?
1136
00:59:03.840 --> 00:59:08.199
Sorry about this? So have you ever?
1137
00:59:09.800 --> 00:59:10.000
Oh?
1138
00:59:10.280 --> 00:59:10.559
God?
1139
00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:15.000
Basically, he's saying, have you thought about a different genre
1140
00:59:15.280 --> 00:59:16.280
to what you're writing?
1141
00:59:16.360 --> 00:59:16.519
Now?
1142
00:59:16.840 --> 00:59:21.000
Thank you? Jeez, you guys.
1143
00:59:22.039 --> 00:59:22.800
He's just lucky.
1144
00:59:22.800 --> 00:59:23.320
He's got me.
1145
00:59:25.599 --> 00:59:28.280
When I when I ghost write, Wayne, I do write
1146
00:59:28.280 --> 00:59:29.000
different genre.
1147
00:59:29.039 --> 00:59:29.400
I don't.
1148
00:59:29.800 --> 00:59:33.239
I don't write fiction when I when I go, I
1149
00:59:33.280 --> 00:59:36.039
write fiction. But it's something you know for you know.
1150
00:59:36.920 --> 00:59:41.679
But I do write medical, I do write I do
1151
00:59:41.719 --> 00:59:45.920
write political. I do write other things, but it's usually
1152
00:59:45.960 --> 00:59:48.719
ghosts writing me. Do I write any other genre? No,
1153
00:59:49.800 --> 00:59:52.480
I'm gonna write it could be fiction, but what what
1154
00:59:52.559 --> 00:59:56.639
kind of sub genre in fiction? That's what I usually
1155
00:59:56.760 --> 00:59:59.320
you know, I wouldn't know because that's what I usually write.
1156
00:59:59.320 --> 01:00:01.920
Even my poet tree is a little always on the
1157
01:00:02.000 --> 01:00:05.039
dark side. Or either I could write something funny.
1158
01:00:05.400 --> 01:00:06.079
It was weird.
1159
01:00:06.559 --> 01:00:10.760
I had a teacher, my my my middle school teacher
1160
01:00:11.400 --> 01:00:13.719
contacted me and was saying.
1161
01:00:13.480 --> 01:00:16.119
Marie, you haven't you haven't changed. But I was, you know,
1162
01:00:16.159 --> 01:00:19.320
you haven't changed. I bought your book, I.
1163
01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:23.239
Downloaded your book, and you are still the person that
1164
01:00:23.320 --> 01:00:25.760
writes the same way. And I'm like, okay, oh god,
1165
01:00:25.880 --> 01:00:28.199
that's a bad thing, because you really do have to
1166
01:00:28.239 --> 01:00:29.480
grow as a person as a writer.
1167
01:00:29.760 --> 01:00:31.800
I tell you that, and I'm like, oh, is that
1168
01:00:31.840 --> 01:00:34.440
a bad thing? I know you you have.
1169
01:00:36.199 --> 01:00:39.519
What would he tell me your craft has become so well,
1170
01:00:40.239 --> 01:00:41.519
it's just the way he's just to me.
1171
01:00:42.320 --> 01:00:42.599
He was.
1172
01:00:42.960 --> 01:00:45.039
The thing is he was so happy that I didn't
1173
01:00:45.079 --> 01:00:47.840
change who I was with my writing because I am
1174
01:00:47.880 --> 01:00:51.119
a little bit sarcastic. He would call me miss Irony
1175
01:00:51.400 --> 01:00:53.639
all the time in the class. You know, we would
1176
01:00:53.679 --> 01:00:57.000
calling this Irony, have all miss good morning, Miss Irony.
1177
01:00:57.119 --> 01:00:59.280
He wouldn't tell me when he calls out our name
1178
01:00:59.320 --> 01:01:01.960
then class you went, say, Maureen Joes at President.
1179
01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:06.320
No, it's miss Irony President. Yes, President in class, I'm
1180
01:01:06.320 --> 01:01:10.840
talking middle school. So he was just very happy with
1181
01:01:10.920 --> 01:01:12.960
the way things, you know, turned out.
1182
01:01:13.079 --> 01:01:16.079
I didn't change because sometimes he would he would tell me,
1183
01:01:16.400 --> 01:01:18.360
I'm going about with my students and seeing what they
1184
01:01:18.360 --> 01:01:19.880
did later on in life, and.
1185
01:01:20.519 --> 01:01:21.920
Like a lot of them change who they are.
1186
01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:24.800
And he's like, I'm happy that you you kept that.
1187
01:01:24.880 --> 01:01:27.599
You know that what he called fire, you know that
1188
01:01:27.719 --> 01:01:30.400
fire things.
1189
01:01:30.519 --> 01:01:33.679
Because it was always even when I'm writing the book,
1190
01:01:33.880 --> 01:01:35.920
the book that you see that you read twice in
1191
01:01:35.960 --> 01:01:40.239
the mince, somebody was like, it's not romance though, I'm like,
1192
01:01:40.719 --> 01:01:43.599
it is a romance, but there's no you know. I'm like,
1193
01:01:43.679 --> 01:01:45.239
you know what, because it's PG.
1194
01:01:45.440 --> 01:01:45.639
Yeah.
1195
01:01:45.679 --> 01:01:49.119
I wrote it kind of PG because I don't want
1196
01:01:49.159 --> 01:01:51.079
to dabble in erotica. I don't want to go down
1197
01:01:51.079 --> 01:01:53.840
that lane. And it's like always, but you feel that
1198
01:01:53.880 --> 01:01:57.480
there's always like a sexual tension that's going on in
1199
01:01:57.840 --> 01:02:00.480
the book. There's always like some sort of sexual tension.
1200
01:02:00.639 --> 01:02:01.360
You got to leave.
1201
01:02:01.239 --> 01:02:04.840
Something to the reader's imagination when it comes to that.
1202
01:02:05.320 --> 01:02:09.239
So I lost my train of I lost my train.
1203
01:02:09.480 --> 01:02:12.559
So I write a lot of sub genres. It could
1204
01:02:12.559 --> 01:02:14.360
be action, but I do write a lot of.
1205
01:02:16.039 --> 01:02:18.360
Comedy. I read a lot of comedy. But the way
1206
01:02:18.400 --> 01:02:21.199
my comedy would be like, it's a dry humor.
1207
01:02:22.480 --> 01:02:25.360
It's very dry something and I don't even have to
1208
01:02:25.360 --> 01:02:27.719
think about it when because sometimes when I be talking
1209
01:02:27.719 --> 01:02:31.360
to my friends or my colleagues, sometimes.
1210
01:02:31.119 --> 01:02:32.119
Really i'd be joking.
1211
01:02:32.199 --> 01:02:34.639
I'd be I try to be funny, and then they
1212
01:02:34.679 --> 01:02:38.519
are very serious when I say something, No, I was joking, Marie.
1213
01:02:38.519 --> 01:02:42.280
We can't tell if you're being serious or you're being funny,
1214
01:02:42.440 --> 01:02:46.280
because either way, you're always funny. Mark, I'm being a comedian.
1215
01:02:46.320 --> 01:02:49.280
I'm like, I can't be a comedian. What a pretty crazy.
1216
01:02:49.519 --> 01:02:51.599
I can't be standing in front of people telling them jokes.
1217
01:02:52.000 --> 01:02:52.920
I wonder we'll do that.
1218
01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:57.599
What do you call the what do you call the chicken?
1219
01:02:57.960 --> 01:02:58.119
Yeah?
1220
01:02:58.159 --> 01:02:59.960

Wait?
1224
01:03:06.400 --> 01:03:13.239
Why did the chicken across the road? What did the
1225
01:03:13.320 --> 01:03:14.320

01:03:17.079 --> 01:03:18.280
