 Hello everybody you here welcome back to 52 in 52 Hey, Richie. Hey Jordan. How y'all doing this morning? Nice to see y'all How we know you still have a face it is here The face meet is here Who it's been a morning we didn't get home last night until 10 o'clock I didn't get to sleep until 2 30 had to be up at 5 slept until 6 Gotta start doing everything. I was like there ain't no way in hell. I'm starting at 7 So I give myself an extra 30 minutes. I'm still not fully awake But here we go. How y'all doing this morning you ready to get some words in We're not gonna start right away, of course. We never do but What we're gonna do is I'm gonna set this up While you guys get comfortable All right, uh We need to get them on Title always in 24 for me. I'm still debating on whether or not I'm gonna put this collection out as Edward Lorne I know people want it But I'm not entirely sure what I'm gonna do here This needs to be zero and this needs to be doobly Alright, there we go much more better. All right, that's what we're doing today. We're doing intrusive thoughts where couple white men go to a club and Then get home invaded for good reason. We're that's what we're doing today. So Wake up II wake up wake up All right, so I am rolling right now in a Mitsubishi Mirage, I don't know if you know this car or not, but it is a massive piece of shit I got it from Enterprise car rental I got a great deal because my car is in the shop my insurance took care of the rental While the car is hopefully fixed for good this time, I don't know Really getting tired of spending money on it, but you got to do what you got to do, especially with with us door dashing We have to make sure we have a safe reliable vehicle So I have no idea how much is going to cost at the end of the day Because they gave me one quote and then they found another issue. They just keep finding issues Reputable people. It's just there's the car is two hundred and two thousand miles on it now Five thousand of those just in the last three months because we've been doing door dash So I'm I'm waiting to find out what the the the actual total is gonna be They did say they'd work with me on a payment plan so I had a friend of mine send me some money to get that started and We're we're back on the road, but it's in a rental car. Anyways, I Just made a short story into a long story because that's what I do. That's what I do here. That's what we're here for So I take the car in drop it off enterprise comes picks me up and it's a 2000 it's a 20 20 21 Mitsubishi Mirage. It's got 53,000 miles on it. So it is three years old and It has 53,000 miles on it and this thing is slipping. It's misfiring. That's sorry The transmission is slipping. It's misfiring. There's this thing on the desk. It says ECO. So economy Anytime economy kicks in anytime that light comes on the transmission slips Shuddering knocking all this stuff for $50 a day That's a normal price. That's normal price Also, it was literally the only car they had and I reserved it three days in advance the problem with that is enterprise Has a reservation hotline and online you can't do reservations Locally which makes no sense whatsoever. In fact one lady while I was standing in there gotten an argument with one of the employees Because she wanted to do a reservation and they said she had to go online or call the toll-free number So the reservation place what they do is they Look at what cars are coming back But you have until the end of the day before they close to bring the car back to return the car for no additional fee Problem is People who reserve for that day if somebody waits for that if somebody waits to bring that car back till the end of the day You can't pick that car up during the day because it's not there. I Had an appointment for 12 for for noon They didn't have a car for me. They finally found a car, which is the piece of shit I'm rolling in no disc no no no further discount beyond what my insurance got me But anyways do never buy a Mitsubishi mirage. I Mean, it's only got 53,000 miles on it. I know it's a rental car But that's ridiculous when I was a teenager. I used to drive the shit out of my cars They used to go mutting Drifting all that stuff. I have never had a car break down within 50,000 miles And this car is on its last leg like the engine sounds like shit Rattling knocking probably has lift lifter issues timing belt issues all different kinds of shit going on. Oh rich He's been talking. I'm sorry finish it watch both versions. Love me some Tim Curry. Oh, cool I was thinking of giving you a heart attack by saying it was sub par but decided against doing that Made an executive Decision to put off the Dark Tower series until after I get through the rest of King's work. That's smart I recommend that everybody do that so that you don't miss any of the the tie-ins I'm no mechanic, but the car shouldn't be doing that. You need to go in there like and from topping the huckers It's a mess man. It is an absolute mess. Good morning, Jordan. How are you doing? Uh, anyway, sorry to bore you with what's been going on with me. What's been going on with y'all? Let me know Because it's been an entire time last week was a whole month. It felt like six months Actually, it just felt like it would never never end. Good morning Alec. How you doing? Good morning Just fucking with you. You don't have to correct yourself Uh The worst part for me about waking up is literally being able to process information So I got up this morning and the very first thing I see is that mr. Doyle of a great undertaking is Is no longer making videos so very very upset about that But I understand what he's saying because I'm in the same boat. You got to sacrifice your hobbies to make sure that you either chase your dreams, which is what he's doing. He wants to work on music or You know or to spend, you know time quality time with your family, you know, that's that's what's important the people that you love Matter and you need to be able to luckily we get we all get to dash together I mean sometimes all four of us are in the car together It's usually me and shell. I'm rarely ever alone. In fact in three months. I think I've dashed twice alone and that's it But yeah, mr. Doyle is off to do wonderful things in music, hopefully That's a it makes me sad that he won't be around because he's the only king creator that I watch anymore But I mean I understand and I respect that and I wish him nothing but the best Wrote a hundred pages of my PI novel and I'm going to look at my finished middle grade novel. Cool. What is up Viking? Listened to misery and almost done with Tommy knockers. It was weird hearing Rory Gilmour's grandfather's Loach up, but I love Edward Herman. Yeah. Yeah Yep Such a loss. Yeah That man that man was great How much longer you think you got on your PI novel Alec? Oh, no, get off that screen Another hundred or 200 pages. All right. Well, good luck. You're doing awesome so far I don't know what's wrong with my computer one of my USB ports is dead and I'm freaking out because fuck my life To stream on Twitch, I need all three of these ports and one of them isn't working You're welcome. You're welcome. I Hope to one day read it and it's published format. Oh Don't make that face. Look at the way. I'm crinkling. Look at it. Oh that all that weight loss got my face Looking like an empty sack of taters. Oh Leave me alone. Leave me alone All right, we got nine and a half minutes before we before I take my first break and we get started I'm gonna try very very hard today because today is a story about culture vultures entering a situation where they Believe that they are safe and untouchable and whatnot and are going to upset stuff What's taters precious What no hang on I used to be able to do gone No What's taters? Ah No, I'm not even gonna try and embarrass myself, but I used to be able to do Andy circuses golem very very well And my kids love that shit when they were younger is like daddy's Elmo Daddy's daddy's red, but he ain't quite as small as Elmo I'm gonna try and get a good chunk of pages down this morning first act is fully plotted out So all I got to do is write That's you only have the easy part left Viking If you know Where you're going? It's much easier to get there This is coming from somebody who just opens up word and starts fucking right But we got some surprises on the horizon coming up some videos relatively soon I have an editor working on some stuff It was able to raise enough money to pay for at least one video for him to edit and So we got we got something coming it may not be what everybody wants to see But we got some stuff coming should be fun. He's really good at what he does If you remember the isn't nasty videos He used to edit those toward the end, you know before they were just unedited bullshit, but yeah, I'm looking forward to it And he's relatively cheap too, so I say relatively it's like $50 gpb so pounds It cost me 62 66 dollars something like that. Anyways You know what I wish Richie I wish Herman would have Would have narrated pet cemetery at some point. I think that would have been fucking awesome When she woke bounce when she woke Hang on I got to do some quick math. That's good news. Oh, what was I gonna say? Whoever narrated blockade Billy, they did a great job. I can't even remember who Let's see here Craig Watts. Oh, yeah, Craig's fucking amazing. He's great He's done some other stuff with Stephen King, too So what is the community's thoughts about reading in to an author's meaning? Do authors add all the connections that we as readers see or are the readers making connections that happen to be there? Yes, I mean honestly all of that Authors have intention Most of the time I find that people are going to find whatever they want in a book and that is the magic of storytelling Quentin Tarantino did this best He said I'm never gonna tell you what is in the suitcase in pulp fiction Just like I'm never gonna tell you why Brad Pitt has a rope burn on his neck because you watch that and You think oh so this this let's say it's gold or it's God or whatever in that suitcase that makes it your movie And I love that thought I love that process and he's not the first one to say it King said it numerous people have said it any good storyteller knows this inherently that You do not need to explain every single detail if it's not a detail that moves the plot forward leaving stuff there leaving vague Items objects character traits whatever there for the audience to decide is Magic because then it becomes their own now. I'm not saying leave everything open to interpret interpretation Some open endings are absolute garbage. Some are great. It all depends on how well it's delivered, right? But the main point is Let your readers imagine whatever the hell they want if your intention went in one direction and they went another that's fine It's a different story to them even if they didn't like the experience because they didn't understand it and you know you have You know that the story makes sense. It's none of your business. It's their story now It lives in their head. They're seeing different character faces than you're seeing all that stuff. It's amazing It's the magic, but yeah, I would say yes for all of it I know it's kind of like a meme these days to say you know when someone gives you you know options And you just say yes or no But that's the perfect example of when you you know a one-word answer is good for a multiple-choice question. It's just I Mean of multiple point question Anyways, you know what I'm saying, but I love it when people one of my favorite things over the course of my career Actually, it's probably my favorite thing when with regards to like fan interaction or reader interaction is when someone Messages me and Asked me if they got it right and it's completely Completely wrong. It wasn't my intention whatsoever or they'll comment me compliment me on something that I didn't intend to happen and It's a really good feeling because I know that person now owns that story and I have given them Something to think about and that's all I'm here for is entertainment and to try and make people think just a little bit more Two plus two is four quick math. I Jor- I think Jordan needs to scrub If Jordan's still back there on the math Jordan needs to scrub I've been watching some keen retrospectives and that thought came to mind like this is a callback to whatever and I'm like Is it though? That's why I call my series The Stephen King theorist or a Thursday theorist because they're all theories there I do say whenever King has validated something but for the most part It's just all theories because I don't know for I don't know for sure what's going on in his fucking head And on top of that he he can't even remember half the time what was going on in his head Because he'll make up one story for something and then later on down the road The history just completely changes But once again he's a storyteller so he's going to elaborate he's gonna embellish He's gonna do all those things and you need to remember that when you're listening to anybody who's creative anybody. I'm not calling them liars but definitely keep that in mind when you are working with someone who's creative because Sometimes they don't even know that they're lying to you. It's more along the it's more along the lines of I Have built this story up in my head to have gone a certain way And I guess that's I guess that's everybody everybody has their bias, but especially a storyteller or creative person Never take everything they say Well take everything they say with a grain of salt. So This is true King says he doesn't remember writing some of his books. I believe him about Kujo That man was so hopped up on fucking cocaine. It wasn't even funny And it would be two three four Five six seven it would be seven more books after Kujo that he would finally go to rehab Oh, he remembers Tommy knockers. He remembers Tommy knockers vividly because he can tell you the exact point when it went wrong Anytime he's asked What books of his were mistakes that he shouldn't have ever published it's Tommy knockers and dreamcatcher But Tommy knockers he remembers because he went to rehab supposedly right in the middle of it or toward the end The last third of the book is when he went to rehab And my theory is that it's right around the time when I believe the chapter is called guard goes for a walk and that first paragraph is a feels like a an Analogy or an allegory for going to rehab We're just talking about dreamcatcher today. There's some trippy stuff No, yeah, oh, yeah One of the coolest concepts King ever came up with which is the memory warehouse That's one of the coolest concepts ever eat litter literature, whatever it really should be as big as some children's books The problem is the framing device Everything around that idea is garbage or reused or repurposed material from his earlier stuff But the memory warehouse Fantastic, can you can you imagine an entire an entire story just based on the memory warehouse? That would be absolutely fantastic. I that's that's what I would sign up for and I think that's one of the main reasons I don't like dreamcatcher is because there is so many great ideas in there and it's all There's just a pile of shit weasels on top of them that you got to dig through I Need a humidifier out here. My voice is not doing well at all I don't know if you guys can tell but I am uh, yeah, I am I'm part So anyways Ironically King I King I read really likes the movie. I Well, yeah, I mean it fixes some of the issues with his book, but it's still a fog is humid it is but I'm already having problems with my Which Maduki with with my USB ports and you know is every time I do I can't I also I'm not gonna run the heater and the fog machine at the same time and it's still too cold But we will get you your fog shortly I'm at the ship rising About two and a half hours left of it. I think it's good. I don't think he messed up. Hey, that's that's fine That's fair. Um, I got a buddy who Their favorite book is Tommy knockers. I got another buddy Landon y'all know Landon. Well, maybe you don't Richie, but Landon a Here on YouTube great friend of mine really good dude and his favorite book from one of his favorite books top five is dream catcher so Viking over here petitioning for fog and I'm like I'm petitioning for working equipment Anyways, we'll get we'll get you soon I'm gonna go ahead and take my break when we get back I have to get some writing done because I have to go out dashing at 1130 So we got to get that shit done and dust it I'm hoping to write half the story today half the story tomorrow because that's all the time I got for you guys, but if I don't finish it tomorrow, I will finish it this week or we'll finish it Monday Whatever, but anyways, I'm gonna throw this up here. Ah I'm throw that up there. Hey, how's it turned? I Don't like the placement of my face Let's do that instead It's that better Yeah, cuz oh, oh my god, oh I don't like that either because it's like it's overlapping the page. Oh My Tisman ADHD need to calm the fuck down That coke machine and Tommy knockers. Yeah, I love that he used it in fucking Maximum overdrive to Love that opening line. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, we're about to get started here. All right Didn't even fire a warning shot this feels a little a little repurposed because my my novel cruelty opens up with a deaf man and a prostitute Mosey down the road Mosey down the road were whatever it was and it feels like the same thing it feels like a set up to a joke and I don't like repeating myself, but hey, let's let's do this Let's see here. What do I want to do? Wake up II wake up time to get to work Wakey wakey eggs and baggy. Let's go. Come on Need more coffe. Hey smooth. Okay. Oh There we go, I Wish tiktok had an option to not play as soon as it opens It wants me to a word may be missing here. It wants me to change bros to the brothers About three quarters way through crocheting your Pennywise doll awesome Should have added that to dictionary. Oh, well My laugh my ass off the dog wanted out then as soon as she go she got outside She looked around and came right back in guess it was too cold Yeah, Murray's Murray's been doing the same thing So is demon LD doesn't give a shit because there's a cat in heat Little gray cat with a white speck He's been following around The the woods and the yard and whatnot so he's got his mind on pussy and yeah So he doesn't care about how cold it is outside He's trying to get he's trying to get his tip wet. Oh I think I need to redo the face of the Pennywise doll as it stands the body looks like Pennywise in the face Looks like something for seamless lot. It's like a crusade crushing. That's got to be hard to crochet facial features. Oh We didn't have no timer so I'm putting it on for 20 I was fired from timer duty. That one is on Viking. How dare you bike? How dare you V man? What the fuck are you doing? I know I didn't spell that. It's just Damn dyslexia My friend thinks it's crazy that there are gaming channels on YouTube She's mid 70s and can't believe people watch them. How would she react if I told her the author that I thought Told her the other that I fall on you is mostly watching him type. Yeah Yeah, I don't know why anybody watches this I guess for the solidarity or maybe they find it entertaining. I don't know Fulf, so it helps me stay motivated to work something about having others right at the same time Maybe an accountability thing. I don't know. Yeah, no, I get all that. I just don't like people who like actually watch the stream You know what I'm saying people who aren't like Working alongside like I Am I making any sense? I don't know if I am or not There are people who come in here and just lurk they just like watch me work or they read the story or whatever I guess that's the reason enough, but it doesn't matter why people are here. I appreciate you awesome. That works, Richie Without a word smoking. That's awesome. And then okay. All right. It's one of them days My brain is melting in my head But I still got 800 words in well almost 800 words. I got eight seconds to write three more words There you go 800 You got to do what you got to do Anyways I'm gonna go ahead and take my break When I get back we will continue on with intrusive thoughts Go back up here already three pages.
