about weird stuff 850 00:41:05,990 --> 00:41:04,000 um you know our interest in that so i 851 00:41:07,990 --> 00:41:06,000 did a cover for him and then we just 852 00:41:09,670 --> 00:41:08,000 started these rolling conversations that 853 00:41:11,349 --> 00:41:09,680 eventually led to 854 00:41:13,670 --> 00:41:11,359 what's happening now which was just this 855 00:41:15,589 --> 00:41:13,680 opportunity that happened 856 00:41:17,349 --> 00:41:15,599 and uh you know i let james tell the 857 00:41:18,870 --> 00:41:17,359 full story but it was it was crazy you 858 00:41:21,589 --> 00:41:18,880 know i had been talking to you about 859 00:41:23,750 --> 00:41:21,599 doing some sort of quote journalistic 860 00:41:26,069 --> 00:41:23,760 approach of doing like uh 861 00:41:28,309 --> 00:41:26,079 this fringe stuff like not adding to it 862 00:41:29,030 --> 00:41:28,319 but just telling the stories 863 00:41:31,109 --> 00:41:29,040 and 864 00:41:33,030 --> 00:41:31,119 he calls me up one day with this thing 865 00:41:35,030 --> 00:41:33,040 and i was like 866 00:41:37,270 --> 00:41:35,040 i just want to tell blue book centered 867 00:41:39,349 --> 00:41:37,280 stories that are you know sticking to 868 00:41:40,790 --> 00:41:39,359 the facts and just being as real as 869 00:41:43,030 --> 00:41:40,800 possible and i was like holy crap i 870 00:41:44,550 --> 00:41:43,040 can't believe it like this guy who knows 871 00:41:46,550 --> 00:41:44,560 all this weird stuff like i don't have 872 00:41:49,109 --> 00:41:46,560 to explain anything to

opportunity for so that's 876 00:41:56,790 --> 00:41:54,960 kind of how that was just social media 877 00:41:59,349 --> 00:41:56,800 being in the same circles and then 878 00:42:02,950 --> 00:41:59,359 trusting each other yeah it's really 879 00:42:05,430 --> 00:42:02,960 kind of funny james because michael um 880 00:42:08,390 --> 00:42:05,440 has been expressing to me 881 00:42:10,069 --> 00:42:08,400 uh a lot over the years how to go full 882 00:42:12,470 --> 00:42:10,079 on right 883 00:42:14,150 --> 00:42:12,480 you know because he's always dabbled in 884 00:42:15,990 -->

00:42:24,069 --> 00:42:21,599 but this is the first time where he can 889 00:42:26,790 --> 00:42:24,079 just go full-on tinfoil hat 890 00:42:30,950 --> 00:42:26,800 and that's pretty cool james um in in 891 00:42:34,630 --> 00:42:30,960 the world of comics um i have found 892 00:42:36,309 --> 00:42:34,640 michael has a very unique style i can 893 00:42:38,390 --> 00:42:36,319 pick him out now i 894 00:42:40,550 --> 00:42:38,400 never thought i could do that 895 00:42:42,950 --> 00:42:40,560 before but i know him so well i see his 896 00:42:45,349 --> 00:42:42,960 work and i know it

--> 00:43:20,400 realistic superhero style and i say 913 00:43:24,150 --> 00:43:22,240 realistic even though realistic is not 914 00:43:25,910 --> 00:43:24,160 the real word that you would use when 915 00:43:29,190 --> 00:43:25,920 you look at those pictures but a you 916 00:43:31,670 --> 00:43:29,200 know more rendered uh face that and all 917 00:43:34,550 --> 00:43:31,680 of that but i have

--> 00:44:54,240 basically it's about subjective reality 951 00:44:58,790 --> 00:44:56,079 it's the more people believe in 952 00:45:01,190 --> 00:44:58,800 something the the more true it becomes 953 00:45:03,349 --> 00:45:01,200 so it's about a secret department in the 954 00:45:06,550 --> 00:45:03,359 united states government that makes sure 955 00:45:08,790 --> 00:45:06,560 that the wrong the

00:49:35,829 --> 00:49:32,720 and 1067 00:49:38,150 --> 00:49:35,839 i mean i think part of it is i 1068 00:49:40,069 --> 00:49:38,160 a lot of it all comes from 1069 00:49:42,790 --> 00:49:40,079 the research that i've been doing 1070 00:49:45,109 --> 00:49:42,800 in and around the department of truth 1071 00:49:46,710 --> 00:49:45,119 and this is something that you know 1072 00:49:49,430 --> 00:49:46,720 department of truth is a book that i 1073 00:49:51,829 --> 00:49:49,440 started researching around 2015 1074 00:49:54,150 --> 00:49:51,839 uh i had the rough concept and i started 1075 00:49:56,470 --> 00:49:54,160 like you know pulling together all of 1076 00:49:58,710 --> 00:49:56,480 the resources that i wanted to to play 1077 00:50:00,069 --> 00:49:58,720 with there and part of it is that 1078 00:50:02,150 --> 00:50:00,079 uh 1079 00:50:03,910 --> 00:50:02,160 like part of the department of truth is 1080 00:50:06,390 --> 00:50:03,920 kind of about 1081 00:50:07,910 --> 00:50:06,400 structuring and ordering information 1082 00:50:09,990 --> 00:50:07,920 like at least in terms of like the 1083 00:50:11,109 --> 00:50:10,000 research side of it it's like it's 1084 00:50:14,790 --> 00:50:11,119 taking 1085 00:50:17,030 --> 00:50:14,800 the entire history of you know esoteric 1086 00:50:19,430 --> 00:50:17,040 belief and kind of 1087 00:50:21,829 --> 00:50:19,440 and sort of putting it in an order where 1088 00:50:24,230 --> 00:50:21,839 you get to see the patterns that repeat 1089 00:50:26,630 --> 00:50:24,240 themselves in all the different uh 1090 00:50:28,390 --> 00:50:26,640 sub-communities the that 1091 00:50:30,470 --> 00:50:28,400 that make up the whole thing and there's 1092 00:50:32,630 --> 00:50:30,480 something really really beautiful when 1093 00:50:35,589 --> 00:50:32,640 you lay it all out together but it also 1094 00:50:37,349 --> 00:50:35,599 i it but also of course like deal you 1095 00:50:39,190 --> 00:50:37,359 know given the subject matter also very 1096 00:50:40,710 --> 00:50:39,200 frightening in places and i think it 1097 00:50:41,829 --> 00:50:40,720 says something 1098 00:50:50,069 --> 00:50:41,839 about 1099 00:50:52,790 --> 00:50:50,079 uh like you know america 1100 00:50:54,390 --> 00:50:52,800 given the fact that it's a it's a 1101 00:50:57,270 --> 00:50:54,400 country that is 1102 00:51:00,069 --> 00:50:57,280 like it is an idea the country itself is 1103 00:51:01,829 --> 00:51:00,079 an idea so therefore it is both which is 1104 00:51:03,589 --> 00:51:01,839 both its greatest strength and its 1105 00:51:06,630 --> 00:51:03,599 greatest weakness and it's something 1106 00:51:08,870 --> 00:51:06,640 that uh who is telling the story of 1107 00:51:11,670 --> 00:51:08,880 america and who are they telling that 1108 00:51:14,069 --> 00:51:11,680 story to to and what are they who's 1109 00:51:15,349 --> 00:51:14,079 buying and who's selling what at any 1110 00:51:17,910 --> 00:51:15,359 given moment 1111 00:51:19,349 --> 00:51:17,920 uh is you know is a really interesting 1112 00:51:22,230 --> 00:51:19,359 question to ask and it's one that you 1113 00:51:25,109 --> 00:51:22,240 can even go back before the creation of 1114 00:51:28,230 --> 00:51:25,119 america to see is like who is sort of 1115 00:51:30,710 --> 00:51:28,240 controlling the narrative like who is 1116 00:51:33,910 --> 00:51:30,720 who is writing the history books at any 1117 00:51:38,150 --> 00:51:33,920 given moment and who is just deciding 1118 00:51:40,710 --> 00:51:38,160 this is the truth this is the the core 1119 00:51:42,710 --> 00:51:40,720 like you know the core facts and then 1120 00:51:45,030 --> 00:51:42,720 you always get the people who are just 1121 00:51:46,870 --> 00:51:45,040 outside of that and a lot of times the 1122 00:51:49,030 --> 00:51:46,880 people who are just outside of that are 1123 00:51:52,870 --> 00:51:49,040 just people who are fascinated by the 1124 00:51:54,710 --> 00:51:52,880 things that don't fit into the truth and 1125 00:51:58,150 --> 00:51:54,720 there and because it's a very human 1126 00:52:00,309 --> 00:51:58,160 fascination it's like what is the 1127 00:52:02,069 --> 00:52:00,319 you know what are all the questions that 1128 00:52:04,549 --> 00:52:02,079 that just get you excited that just make 1129 00:52:06,390 --> 00:52:04,559 you like wonder about the world and you 1130 00:52:08,470 --> 00:52:06,400 know like they might frighten you 1131 00:52:10,230 --> 00:52:08,480 sometimes but it also sort of like 1132 00:52:13,270 --> 00:52:10,240 uh it's a positive thing because it's 1133 00:52:15,750 --> 00:52:13,280 about like okay the world is bigger than 1134 00:52:17,510 --> 00:52:15,760 what the history book says it is uh and 1135 00:52:19,589 --> 00:52:17,520 back in the day so much of it it was you 1136 00:52:21,589 --> 00:52:19,599 know uh the 1137 00:52:23,589 --> 00:52:21,599 like you know there were the fact that 1138 00:52:26,150 --> 00:52:23,599 there were these like civilizations 1139 00:52:28,390 --> 00:52:26,160 far-off civilizations like that was 1140 00:52:30,870 --> 00:52:28,400 wasn't common knowledge it was it was 1141 00:52:32,630 --> 00:52:30,880 like only very educated people knew 1142 00:52:35,270 --> 00:52:32,640 about that so there was something you 1143 00:52:38,150 --> 00:52:35,280 know there was sort of taking this 1144 00:52:39,510 --> 00:52:38,160 secret hidden knowledge of the these old 1145 00:52:40,630 --> 00:52:39,520 ways of thinking and all that and 1146 00:52:42,710 --> 00:52:40,640 bringing it down and that's where the 1147 00:52:44,950 --> 00:52:42,720 word like a cult comes from and all this 1148 00:52:47,190 --> 00:52:44,960 this hidden knowledge and all that so 1149 00:52:49,190 --> 00:52:47,200 i'm basically the you know long story 1150 00:52:50,950 --> 00:52:49,200 short i'm a nerd and 1151 00:52:53,270 --> 00:52:50,960 the thing that i'm like but i'm nerdy 1152 00:52:56,870 --> 00:52:53,280 about history and i'm nerdy about 1153 00:52:58,470 --> 00:52:56,880 uh weird history and the ways in which 1154 00:53:00,390 --> 00:52:58,480 you know we kind of repeat the same 1155 00:53:01,670 --> 00:53:00,400 things over and over and especially the 1156 00:53:03,990 --> 00:53:01,680 ways in which 1157 00:53:06,870 --> 00:53:04,000 you know very wealthy people 1158 00:53:08,870 --> 00:53:06,880 in every different moment in history 1159 00:53:11,750 --> 00:53:08,880 have tried to control 1160 00:53:13,430 --> 00:53:11,760 what the average person believed and the 1161 00:53:16,150 --> 00:53:13,440 way they have wielded that control 1162 00:53:17,109 --> 00:53:16,160 against the people um and in order to 1163 00:53:19,109 --> 00:53:17,119 control 1164 00:53:21,589 --> 00:53:19,119 and it's something that you can see 1165 00:53:23,670 --> 00:53:21,599 happening all around us today and it's 1166 00:53:25,510 --> 00:53:23,680 one of those things where it's just like 1167 00:53:27,109 --> 00:53:25,520 you know so much of it happens like 1168 00:53:29,750 --> 00:53:27,119 right out in the open like that's the 1169 00:53:32,150 --> 00:53:29,760 thing of the modern world is you know i 1170 00:53:34,309 --> 00:53:32,160 think when you look at conspiracy 1171 00:53:36,630 --> 00:53:34,319 fiction from like the 60s and 70s it's 1172 00:53:38,390 --> 00:53:36,640 all like happening and you know in in 1173 00:53:40,710 --> 00:53:38,400 secret and all of that but like 1174 00:53:42,470 --> 00:53:40,720 silicon valley are designing machines 1175 00:53:44,870 --> 00:53:42,480 that basically rewrite how the human 1176 00:53:47,190 --> 00:53:44,880 brain works and they're doing it like in 1177 00:53:49,910 --> 00:53:47,200 broad daylight and like doing tech 1178 00:53:51,910 --> 00:53:49,920 symposiums about how effective they are 1179 00:53:52,710 --> 00:53:51,920 effectively they're doing it 1180 00:53:55,829 --> 00:53:52,720 uh 1181 00:53:59,430 --> 00:53:55,839 so yeah no the so all of this is like 1182 00:54:02,069 --> 00:53:59,440 you know like big fascination for me uh 1183 00:54:04,230 --> 00:54:02,079 and ufos have always been tied into that 1184 00:54:07,670 --> 00:54:04,240 because they were my way in 1185 00:54:10,549 --> 00:54:07,680 when i was a kid uh and 1186 00:54:11,349 --> 00:54:10,559

early 90s uh turnover like i 1190 00:54:25,270 --> 00:54:23,040 saw on home video i saw et which scared 1191 00:54:27,430 --> 00:54:25,280 the crap out of me and close encounters 1192 00:54:29,109 --> 00:54:27,440 of the third kind which i loved and it 1193 00:54:30,549 --> 00:54:29,119 was one of those things where you know 1194 00:54:32,630 --> 00:54:30,559 et just scared me because it's a 1195 00:54:36,470 --> 00:54:32,640 horrifying potato monster that like 1196 00:54:38,549 --> 00:54:36,480 makes inhuman noises but it's the 1197 00:54:40,309 --> 00:54:38,559 uh but uh 1198 00:54:41,349 --> 00:54:40,319 close encounters captured this like 1199 00:54:43,030 --> 00:54:41,359 really 1200 00:54:45,670 --> 00:54:43,040 incredible wonder 1201 00:54:48,630 --> 00:54:45,680 and this sense of like 1202 00:54:50,390 --> 00:54:48,640 you know this bigger universe and the 1203 00:54:52,390 --> 00:54:50,400 like in the beauty in that and it's 1204 00:54:53,430 --> 00:54:52,400 still scary in places and you see the 1205 00:54:56,390 --> 00:54:53,440 cost 1206 00:54:57,910 --> 00:54:56,400 of like chasing after something that you 1207 00:54:59,910 --> 00:54:57,920 know is a little ephemeral and all of 1208 00:55:02,069 --> 00:54:59,920 that you see uh 1209 00:55:04,390 --> 00:55:02,079 you know you you see a man like you know 1210 00:55:06,549 --> 00:55:04,400 his family fall apart in in the pursuit 1211 00:55:08,150 --> 00:55:06,559 of all this but it's still but then he 1212 00:55:09,990 --> 00:55:08,160 still finds something at the end of it 1213 00:55:11,910 --> 00:55:10,000 and is so there is something beautiful 1214 00:55:14,309 --> 00:55:11,920 in that kind of storytelling 1215 00:55:17,109 --> 00:55:14,319 uh but i think one of the big things for 1216 00:55:17,910 --> 00:55:17,119 me was right at 1217 00:55:18,789 --> 00:55:17,920 the 1218 00:55:20,870 --> 00:55:18,799 that 1219 00:55:22,150 --> 00:55:20,880 you know turn into the 90s like you had 1220 00:55:25,270 --> 00:55:22,160 the you know 1221 00:55:27,510 --> 00:55:25,280 uh the x-files uh you had all these 1222 00:55:29,750 --> 00:55:27,520 things and you know ufos were in the 1223 00:55:33,270 --> 00:55:29,760 culture in a really dominant way 1224 00:55:35,349 --> 00:55:33,280 uh and so the way that translated to be 1225 00:55:38,390 --> 00:55:35,359 like a kid there were all of these like 1226 00:55:41,030 --> 00:55:38,400 reference books that basically had like 1227 00:55:44,230 --> 00:55:41,040 little illustrations and little like you 1228 00:55:47,510 --> 00:55:44,240 know paragraph blurbs describing some of 1229 00:55:49,829 --> 00:55:47,520 the most famous ufo encounters uh like 1230 00:55:51,589 --> 00:55:49,839 in history and that's how i sort of i 1231 00:55:53,910 --> 00:55:51,599 learned it learned it all it was all in 1232 00:55:56,150 --> 00:55:53,920 these like strange reference books that 1233 00:55:58,630 --> 00:55:56,160 i would pick out of my like middle

1449 01:05:36,789 --> 01:05:34,319 james tinians running around in the 1450 01:05:39,829 --> 01:05:36,799 world uh now uh 1451 01:05:41,430 --> 01:05:39,839 let's let's actually talk about uh blue

01:05:51,750 --> 01:05:48,720 interesting point 1456 01:05:53,080 --> 01:05:51,760 it's an easy book to color michael 1457 01:05:56,069 --> 01:05:53,090 taking the day off 1458 01:05:57,670 --> 01:05:56,079 [Laughter] 1459 01:05:59,910 --> 01:05:57,680 there there's a strong tradition in 1460 01:06:01,910 --> 01:05:59,920 comics an illustration of of using like 1461 01:06:03,349 --> 01:06:01,920 a monochromatic color you know it's it's 1462 01:06:04,789 --> 01:06:03,359 a it's a it's a fun and it's a cool 1463 01:06:06,950 --> 01:06:04,799 thing and 1464 01:06:08,789 --> 01:06:06,960 um so it was fun to do and james was 1465 01:06:10,549 --> 01:06:08,799 thinking it before he even spoke to me 1466 01:06:12,069 --> 01:06:10,559 you know it was like you know kind of 1467 01:06:13,829 --> 01:06:12,079 black and white and just used the blue 1468 01:06:15,349 --> 01:06:13,839 tone color and of course i was thinking 1469 01:06:17,270 --> 01:06:15,359 the same thing and um yeah it was 1470 01:06:19,270 --> 01:06:17,280 exciting it was exciting to do all right 1471 01:06:21,349 --> 01:06:19,280 i think taki said i'm not coloring this 1472 01:06:22,710 --> 01:06:21,359 one 1473 01:06:24,630 --> 01:06:22,720 oh she would love to i mean she's just 1474 01:06:27,109 --> 01:06:24,640 as much into this you know 1475 01:06:29,430 --> 01:06:27,119 um we've all sucked into the world 1476 01:06:32,870 --> 01:06:29,440 i you know what what i what i enjoy 1477 01:06:35,430 --> 01:06:32,880 about it is you know that that sepia 1478 01:06:37,670 --> 01:06:35,440 black and white thing 1479 01:06:39,270 --> 01:06:37,680 adds a historical perspective to it 1480 01:06:42,390 --> 01:06:39,280 right and you get that vibe out of the 1481 01:06:43,829 --> 01:06:42,400 gate was that the intention actually 1482 01:06:45,829 --> 01:06:43,839 yeah there's sort of two intentions i 1483 01:06:47,750 --> 01:06:45,839 mean one of the things that that i was 1484 01:06:48,789 --> 01:06:47,760 very much influenced on 1485 01:06:50,069 --> 01:06:48,799 um 1486 01:06:51,670 --> 01:06:50,079 and it's just a personal thing but 1487 01:06:54,549 --> 01:06:51,680 hopefully it comes through even for for 1488 01:06:55,829 --> 01:06:54,559 younger readers um when i was growing up 1489 01:06:57,829 --> 01:06:55,839 one of the things that i loved that 1490 01:06:59,589 --> 01:06:57,839 pulled me into this world was leonard 1491 01:07:01,589 --> 01:06:59,599 nimoy's in search of 1492 01:07:04,549 --> 01:07:01,599 but when i was watching it it was on 1493 01:07:06,870 --> 01:07:04,559 like uhf channels with like static 1494 01:07:08,630 --> 01:07:06,880 and the the footage had already degraded 1495 01:07:09,430 --> 01:07:08,640 and stuff right so it had that kind of 1496 01:07:12,470 --> 01:07:09,440 like 1497 01:07:14,230 --> 01:07:12,480 pre-found footage kind of look to it so 1498 01:07:15,910 --> 01:07:14,240 like i wanted to draw this analog 1499 01:07:17,750 --> 01:07:15,920 meaning i wasn't drawing on a computer i 1500 01:07:19,829 --> 01:07:17,760 wasn't using digital stuff i'm just 1501 01:07:20,870 --> 01:07:19,839 using an old-fashioned pen and brush and 1502 01:07:21,670 --> 01:07:20,880 letting 1503 01:07:27,510 --> 01:07:21,680 the 1504 01:07:29,349 --> 01:07:27,520 um 1505 01:07:30,549 --> 01:07:29,359 and also coloring it with just the 1506 01:07:31,910 --> 01:07:30,559 single tone 1507 01:07:33,670 --> 01:07:31,920 brings it back to that older like kind 1508 01:07:36,069 --> 01:07:33,680 of almost a 50s feel or something which 1509 01:07:38,870 --> 01:07:36,079 is where blue books started so um all 1510 01:07:40,950 --> 01:07:38,880 those sort of aesthetics play into what 1511 01:07:43,109 --> 01:07:40,960 i'm hoping becomes a feeling that the 1512 01:07:45,029 --> 01:07:43,119 reader will get when they're reading it 1513 01:07:47,029 --> 01:07:45,039 now what we're talking about uh to the 1514 01:07:50,789 --> 01:07:47,039 audience so they understand 1515 01:07:52,470 --> 01:07:50,799 is uh how many we're talking about uh 1516 01:07:54,710 --> 01:07:52,480 this is done 1517 01:07:58,069 --> 01:07:54,720 not in black and white 1518 01:07:59,109 --> 01:07:58,079 but is it is there three colors 1519 01:08:00,630 --> 01:07:59,119 well i draw 1520 01:08:03,109 --> 01:08:00,640 basically what it is i draw in black and 1521 01:08:04,549 --> 01:08:03,119 white and then in computer i'll do the 1522 01:08:07,589 --> 01:08:04,559 the color tones there's two different 1523 01:08:09,910 --> 01:08:07,599 shades of blue right um and i use it in 1524 01:08:11,990 --> 01:08:09,920 a very consistent way until something 1525 01:08:13,430 --> 01:08:12,000 creepy happens when the creepy stuff 1526 01:08:15,430 --> 01:08:13,440 happens then the blue will change a 1527 01:08:16,870 --> 01:08:15,440 little bit or there's some extra texture 1528 01:08:18,630 --> 01:08:16,880 um i'll do something that tells you kind 1529 01:08:20,870 --> 01:08:18,640 of like tilting a camera 1530 01:08:23,269 --> 01:08:20,880 you know in a horror film that tells you 1531 01:08:24,950 --> 01:08:23,279 something's off um so you know we've got 1532 01:08:26,309 --> 01:08:24,960 these strict color rules that we stick 1533 01:08:27,829 --> 01:08:26,319 to and then we break them when some 1534 01:08:29,510 --> 01:08:27,839 crazy stuff starts to happen yeah i mean 1535 01:08:33,669 --> 01:08:29,520 are you ever going to go like butt not 1536 01:08:36,309 --> 01:08:35,189 i don't want to say yeah that feels like 1537 01:08:39,430 --> 01:08:36,319 a spoiler 1538 01:08:42,229 --> 01:08:39,440 yeah i mean he's gonna just just go go 1539 01:08:45,300 --> 01:08:42,239 nuts

james 1543 01:08:57,669 --> 01:08:55,679 why the the first chapter 1544 01:09:01,349 --> 01:08:57,679 is betty and barty hill now it's 1545 01:09:04,309 --> 01:09:01,359 certainly somatic uh cinematic it's epic 1546 01:09:05,910 --> 01:09:04,319 it's it's wide you know it's it's 1547 01:09:08,709 --> 01:09:05,920 you know what i mean it's panavision 1548 01:09:10,470 --> 01:09:08,719 it's a it's a it's a great story but why 1549 01:09:11,749 --> 01:09:10,480 why betty and barney hill out of the 1550 01:09:12,789 --> 01:09:11,759 gate 1551 01:09:13,749 --> 01:09:12,799 oh i 1552 01:09:15,430 --> 01:09:13,759 it's 1553 01:09:17,110 --> 01:09:15,440 that's a that's a really good question 1554 01:09:18,229 --> 01:09:17,120 and there are there are a few answers to 1555 01:09:20,470 --> 01:09:18,239 it because 1556 01:09:24,630 --> 01:09:20,480 you know when when we 1557 01:09:26,070 --> 01:09:24,640 started talking about this um 1558 01:09:28,709 --> 01:09:26,080 actually i'm gonna go a step even 1559 01:09:30,950 --> 01:09:28,719 further back from that uh so about a 1560 01:09:34,789 --> 01:09:30,960 year ago when i was researching the ufo 1561 01:09:37,110 --> 01:09:34,799 issue of uh of department of truth and i 1562 01:09:39,349 --> 01:09:37,120 was focusing very much on the men in 1563 01:09:41,910 --> 01:09:39,359 black stories i picked up a bunch of 1564 01:09:43,430 --> 01:09:41,920 books i was refreshing my my memories of 1565 01:09:46,709 --> 01:09:43,440 stories i was reading stories for the 1566 01:09:50,309 --> 01:09:46,719 first time uh and you know what it 1567 01:09:52,229 --> 01:09:50,319 really and especially focusing on uh 1568 01:09:54,070 --> 01:09:52,239 you know uh the 1569 01:09:57,750 --> 01:09:54,080 he knew they knew too much about flying 1570 01:09:58,550 --> 01:09:57,760 saucers the uh i think gary barker 1571 01:10:04,709 --> 01:09:58,560 uh 1572 01:10:08,550 --> 01:10:04,719 experience with with the men in black 1573 01:10:11,669 --> 01:10:08,560 and you know which it like definitely 1574 01:10:14,149 --> 01:10:11,679 kind of kicked off uh a lot of stories 1575 01:10:16,310 --> 01:10:14,159 about uh men in black and helped build 1576 01:10:18,310 --> 01:10:16,320 towards how i was using them in 1577 01:10:21,750 --> 01:10:18,320 department of truth uh but the thing 1578 01:10:23,270 --> 01:10:21,760 that i recognized pretty early on is 1579 01:10:25,669 --> 01:10:23,280 that when i was looking at all these 1580 01:10:28,149 --> 01:10:25,679 different sources that the sources that 1581 01:10:30,030 --> 01:10:28,159 i was connecting to the most were the 1582 01:10:32,630 --> 01:10:30,040 ones that were actually written 1583 01:10:35,110 --> 01:10:32,640 contemporaneously the ones that actually 1584 01:10:37,189 --> 01:10:35,120 came from the eras where 1585 01:10:39,510 --> 01:10:37,199 uh they like 1586 01:10:42,709 --> 01:10:39,520 where the events actually had took place 1587 01:10:44,950 --> 01:10:42,719 and so i i in doing my deep dive i i 1588 01:10:48,149 --> 01:10:44,960 picked up a number of 1589 01:10:51,830 --> 01:10:48,159 uh you know ufo books from the 1950s and 1590 01:10:54,870 --> 01:10:51,840 60s uh just old beat up copies and one 1591 01:10:59,910 --> 01:10:54,880 of them was this old beat up copy of the 1592 01:11:04,310 --> 01:11:02,470 and bam 1593 01:11:06,790 --> 01:11:04,320 like and like 1594 01:11:08,149 --> 01:11:06,800 you know not like not to knock any of 1595 01:11:10,550 --> 01:11:08,159 the other books i think that was like 1596 01:11:12,630 --> 01:11:10,560 one of the best books like as a book 1597 01:11:14,790 --> 01:11:12,640 itself that i was reading 1598 01:11:17,990 --> 01:11:14,800 uh in all of that but it was 1599 01:11:19,750 --> 01:11:18,000 you know it it also it brought me back 1600 01:11:21,270 --> 01:11:19,760 uh to 1601 01:11:23,430 --> 01:11:21,280 hearing the stories for the first time 1602 01:11:25,350 --> 01:11:23,440 because the you know you talking about 1603 01:11:27,350 --> 01:11:25,360 all those reference books the the betty 1604 01:11:28,630 --> 01:11:27,360 and barney hill case was in every single 1605 01:11:30,229 --> 01:11:28,640 one of those because it's one of the 1606 01:11:31,590 --> 01:11:30,239 most famous 1607 01:11:32,630 --> 01:11:31,600 uh you know 1608 01:11:40,870 --> 01:11:32,640 uh 1609 01:11:43,750 --> 01:11:40,880 something that 1610 01:11:45,350 --> 01:11:43,760 i started picturing it in my head and so 1611 01:11:46,870 --> 01:11:45,360 when when i started 1612 01:11:49,030 --> 01:11:46,880 and like while reading it i could 1613 01:11:50,630 --> 01:11:49,040 picture it in my head as a comic and one 1614 01:11:51,350 --> 01:11:50,640 and i had the thought back then it's 1615 01:11:53,669 --> 01:11:51,360 like 1616 01:11:56,470 --> 01:11:53,679 there should be a comic that tells this 1617 01:11:57,750 --> 01:11:56,480 story in the same way that you know not 1618 01:12:00,390 --> 01:11:57,760 like 1619 01:12:02,149 --> 01:12:00,400 beyond the more action or salacious 1620 01:12:04,149 --> 01:12:02,159 comics there are a lot of non-fiction 1621 01:12:05,750 --> 01:12:04,159 comic books out there in the world and 1622 01:12:07,590 --> 01:12:05,760 there are lots of books about all these 1623 01:12:09,990 --> 01:12:07,600 different things and one thing that i 1624 01:12:11,990 --> 01:12:10,000 that has hit me over and over again 1625 01:12:14,709 --> 01:12:12,000 working on the department of truth is 1626 01:12:17,510 --> 01:12:14,719 the absence of this kind of genre that 1627 01:12:20,310 --> 01:12:17,520 used to that i feel used to be more 1628 01:12:22,470 --> 01:12:20,320 common uh and i think that and what i've 1629 01:12:24,870 --> 01:12:22,480 sort of taken to calling it is like i 1630 01:12:27,590 --> 01:12:24,880 call it sort of the true weird genre 1631 01:12:31,030 --> 01:12:27,600 like it's it's the strange cousin of 1632 01:12:34,470 --> 01:12:31,040 true crime like the you know it's people 1633 01:12:38,070 --> 01:12:34,480 having experiences with uh with the 1634 01:12:39,830 --> 01:12:38,080 unknown and uh you know and like and 1635 01:12:42,470 --> 01:12:39,840 actually accurately telling those 1636 01:12:43,430 --> 01:12:42,480 stories because the issue is is that so 1637 01:12:45,110 --> 01:12:43,440 many 1638 01:12:46,229 --> 01:12:45,120 of the 1639 01:12:49,510 --> 01:12:46,239 you know 1640 01:12:52,390 --> 01:12:49,520 like so many science fiction movies and 1641 01:12:55,510 --> 01:12:52,400 uh you know so much fiction that deals 1642 01:12:57,270 --> 01:12:55,520 with uh ufos and all this or not ufos 1643 01:12:59,510 --> 01:12:57,280 it's like spaceships and stuff like that 1644 01:13:03,350 --> 01:12:59,520 in like in 1645 01:13:05,030 --> 01:13:03,360 uh contemporary fictional movies like 1646 01:13:08,470 --> 01:13:05,040 they are no longer 1647 01:13:11,110 --> 01:13:08,480 in conversation with the stories that 1648 01:13:12,229 --> 01:13:11,120 inspired the original science fiction 1649 01:13:14,470 --> 01:13:12,239 authors 1650 01:13:16,470 --> 01:13:14,480 uh to create the original works of 1651 01:13:18,630 --> 01:13:16,480 science fiction if they are in 1652 01:13:20,709 --> 01:13:18,640 conversation with the thing the with the 1653 01:13:22,310 --> 01:13:20,719 fiction itself and once it's in 1654 01:13:24,790 --> 01:13:22,320 conversation with the fiction itself it 1655 01:13:27,270 --> 01:13:24,800 becomes this like little echo chamber 1656 01:13:28,950 --> 01:13:27,280 and it doesn't speak to something deeper 1657 01:13:30,630 --> 01:13:28,960 and greater but 1658 01:13:33,590 --> 01:13:30,640 back when the fiction actually 1659 01:13:35,910 --> 01:13:33,600 interacted with the the true stories of 1660 01:13:37,110 --> 01:13:35,920 people experiencing something deeply 1661 01:13:40,950 --> 01:13:37,120 strange and 1662 01:13:43,110 --> 01:13:40,960 uh in the in the world uh they're 1663 01:13:45,110 --> 01:13:43,120 like there there's something raw and 1664 01:13:46,790 --> 01:13:45,120 that's why i think there some of the the 1665 01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:46,800 science fiction that was happening 1666 01:13:50,790 --> 01:13:49,360 contemporaneously with the 1667 01:13:53,669 --> 01:13:50,800 um 1668 01:13:55,110 --> 01:13:53,679 you know with the like the 1669 01:13:59,189 --> 01:13:55,120 the initial 1670 01:14:01,350 --> 01:13:59,199 uh few decades of like uh ufo sightings 1671 01:14:04,390 --> 01:14:01,360 and all of that with in the 40s and 50s 1672 01:14:05,830 --> 01:14:04,400 and 60s like that there's something 1673 01:14:07,750 --> 01:14:05,840 that's still 1674 01:14:09,350 --> 01:14:07,760 uh there's something still so vibrant 1675 01:14:11,910 --> 01:14:09,360 about those stories and there there's a 1676 01:14:14,630 --> 01:14:11,920 reason why we just keep remaking those 1677 01:14:16,470 --> 01:14:14,640 stories now uh but it's like i do think 1678 01:14:19,189 --> 01:14:16,480 that they're these stories should be out 1679 01:14:21,510 --> 01:14:19,199 there and all that now when you read uh 1680 01:14:23,830 --> 01:14:21,520 uh the interrupted journey 1681 01:14:25,910 --> 01:14:23,840 which i've got my own history with that 1682 01:14:27,669 --> 01:14:25,920 book too as well and that's why i 1683 01:14:28,390 --> 01:14:27,679 reacted like i did 1684 01:14:30,870 --> 01:14:28,400 but 1685 01:14:34,310 --> 01:14:30,880 uh it's much more 1686 01:14:35,910 --> 01:14:34,320 than just an abduction case and and when 1687 01:14:38,630 --> 01:14:35,920 you read the book 1688 01:14:42,070 --> 01:14:38,640 you find out very quickly 1689 01:14:46,630 --> 01:14:42,080 that it's it's terrifying it's a very 1690 01:14:48,390 --> 01:14:46,640 very scary story that book was written 1691 01:14:53,350 --> 01:14:48,400 60 years ago 1692 01:14:54,950 --> 01:14:53,360 pounded through the book and it is a 1693 01:14:58,070 --> 01:14:54,960 page turner 1694 01:14:58,950 --> 01:14:58,080 did you see and start to feel 1695 01:15:01,590 --> 01:14:58,960 uh 1696 01:15:03,990 --> 01:15:01,600 the the horrifying the terrifying 1697 01:15:06,870 --> 01:15:04,000 aspects to the betty and barney hill 1698 01:15:08,790 --> 01:15:06,880 story this wasn't unicorns this was 1699 01:15:11,270 --> 01:15:08,800 something totally different 1700 01:15:13,189 --> 01:15:11,280 and you know you might the the hint may 1701 01:15:15,350 --> 01:15:13,199 be in like titles like something is 1702 01:15:17,750 --> 01:15:15,360 killing the children but when i'm not 1703 01:15:20,229 --> 01:15:17,760 like you know dabbling in 1704 01:15:22,310 --> 01:15:20,239 uh ufos and conspiracy series stories 1705 01:15:25,110 --> 01:15:22,320 i'm a horror writer that is my my 1706 01:15:28,470 --> 01:15:25,120 primary that's my bread and butter and 1707 01:15:31,830 --> 01:15:28,480 uh so seeing the 1708 01:15:34,790 --> 01:15:31,840 you know like so seeing the potential in 1709 01:15:35,830 --> 01:15:34,800 telling a true story that 1710 01:15:41,030 --> 01:15:35,840 that 1711 01:15:42,870 --> 01:15:41,040 frightening and very human uh like 1712 01:15:44,550 --> 01:15:42,880 because that is the other thing that i 1713 01:15:46,470 --> 01:15:44,560 think stands out about the 1714 01:15:48,550 --> 01:15:46,480 the hill case is that 1715 01:15:50,630 --> 01:15:48,560 you know you get a real sense for both 1716 01:15:52,070 --> 01:15:50,640 betty and barney and the sort of people 1717 01:15:55,510 --> 01:15:52,080 they were and all of that and part of it 1718 01:15:57,350 --> 01:15:55,520 is just there there's so much uh 1719 01:15:59,270 --> 01:15:57,360 there are so many resources that 1720 01:16:02,149 --> 01:15:59,280 actually allow you to 1721 01:16:04,790 --> 01:16:02,159 interact and read uh their own voices 1722 01:16:07,910 --> 01:16:04,800 and their own accounts and uh 1723 01:16:10,630 --> 01:16:07,920 and that honestly allows that that gives 1724 01:16:13,350 --> 01:16:10,640 you in this insight into them because 1725 01:16:16,790 --> 01:16:13,360 you know a lot of times when these 1726 01:16:19,350 --> 01:16:16,800 stories are told they are not like you 1727 01:16:22,310 --> 01:16:19,360 know it's it's very the focus is very 1728 01:16:25,430 --> 01:16:22,320 much on what is being seen rather than 1729 01:16:26,870 --> 01:16:25,440 who is seeing them and without the who 1730 01:16:29,590 --> 01:16:26,880 is seeing them 1731 01:16:31,590 --> 01:16:29,600 it would be a very dry comic 1732 01:16:33,750 --> 01:16:31,600 it would it wouldn't make for 1733 01:16:35,510 --> 01:16:33,760 uh you know something like that there's 1734 01:16:37,030 --> 01:16:35,520 still value in that and that's something 1735 01:16:39,669 --> 01:16:37,040 that michael and i have discussed it's 1736 01:16:40,709 --> 01:16:39,679 like we want to do these big you know 1737 01:16:47,110 --> 01:16:40,719 multi 1738 01:16:50,149 --> 01:16:47,120 uh accounts of these big cases like the 1739 01:16:52,870 --> 01:16:50,159 like the hill encounter uh but then we 1740 01:16:54,790 --> 01:16:52,880 also would want to then do like some 1741 01:16:57,110 --> 01:16:54,800 shorter ones where it might only be 10 1742 01:16:59,430 --> 01:16:57,120 pages altogether that tells a more 1743 01:17:02,070 --> 01:16:59,440 complete thing but you can't really go 1744 01:17:04,470 --> 01:17:02,080 deeper than 10 pages uh because you 1745 01:17:06,229 --> 01:17:04,480 don't have the details of like 1746 01:17:08,630 --> 01:17:06,239 that person's personal life and all of 1747 01:17:11,830 --> 01:17:08,640 that stuff it is a lot more like at this 1748 01:17:14,790 --> 01:17:11,840 point decades later what you really have 1749 01:17:16,790 --> 01:17:14,800 left is what they saw now 1750 01:17:19,750 --> 01:17:16,800 you can do something there let me let me 1751 01:17:23,189 --> 01:17:19,760 jump in because now you've got 1752 01:17:24,790 --> 01:17:23,199 your illustrator your anchor which is by 1753 01:17:25,750 --> 01:17:24,800 the way james there's no way that that's 1754 01:17:27,270 --> 01:17:25,760 a word 1755 01:17:34,229 --> 01:17:27,280 um 1756 01:17:36,630 --> 01:17:34,239 uh the the very fine details 1757 01:17:38,310 --> 01:17:36,640 of of these historic cases michael do 1758 01:17:41,430 --> 01:17:38,320 you find yourself 1759 01:17:43,350 --> 01:17:41,440 uh being james's editor in real time 1760 01:17:45,750 --> 01:17:43,360 have you had to correct him on 1761 01:17:46,470 --> 01:17:45,760 any historical nuggets 1762 01:17:51,669 --> 01:17:46,480 no 1763 01:17:53,510 --> 01:17:51,679 like i've been in the world 1764 01:17:55,910 --> 01:17:53,520 longer more consistently 1765 01:17:58,550 --> 01:17:55,920 but anybody who knows me knows my my 1766 01:18:00,390 --> 01:17:58,560 memory is just not there you know like i 1767 01:18:01,910 --> 01:18:00,400 i need to like flip through a book to 1768 01:18:05,270 --> 01:18:01,920 tell you like one of my favorite stories 1769 01:18:06,950 --> 01:18:05,280 is that the guy in texas uh the cop and 1770 01:18:08,149 --> 01:18:06,960 i can't remember his name you know we 1771 01:18:09,270 --> 01:18:08,159 saw the thing that kind of looks like a 1772 01:18:11,669 --> 01:18:09,280 tic tac 1773 01:18:13,830 --> 01:18:11,679 um like so i need to reference stuff you 1774 01:18:15,750 --> 01:18:13,840 know so james has a much better memory 1775 01:18:16,470 --> 01:18:15,760 than i do so sort of between the two of 1776 01:18:18,310 --> 01:18:16,480 us 1777 01:18:20,229 --> 01:18:18,320 um we check each other a bit here and 1778 01:18:22,070 --> 01:18:20,239 there and um we're just a great resource 1779 01:18:23,510 --> 01:18:22,080 for each other like hey i can't remember 1780 01:18:25,430 --> 01:18:23,520 the name of that what kind of car did 1781 01:18:26,550 --> 01:18:25,440 they have betty barney hill and i'm like 1782 01:18:27,910 --> 01:18:26,560 looking through the books trying to 1783 01:18:29,750 --> 01:18:27,920 figure out which thing it is and stuff 1784 01:18:33,110 --> 01:18:29,760 and i could just text him or our very 1785 01:18:35,430 --> 01:18:33,120 capable editor greg lockhart who um 1786 01:18:36,950 --> 01:18:35,440 knew nothing about this world and just 1787 01:18:39,350 --> 01:18:36,960 started reading you know all the books 1788 01:18:41,350 --> 01:18:39,360 and stuff so like our team is is 1789 01:18:43,030 --> 01:18:41,360 to educating ourselves on the whole 1790 01:18:44,149 --> 01:18:43,040 thing and it's it's great to also just 1791 01:18:46,070 --> 01:18:44,159 be refreshed 1792 01:18:47,990 --> 01:18:46,080 now i wanted to ask you about that james 1793 01:18:50,470 --> 01:18:48,000 because you've brought up fiction and 1794 01:18:51,510 --> 01:18:50,480 non-fiction a few times tonight 1795 01:18:53,030 --> 01:18:51,520 and 1796 01:18:55,830 --> 01:18:53,040 um 1797 01:18:58,149 --> 01:18:55,840 are you focused on 1798 01:18:59,189 --> 01:18:58,159 no creative 1799 01:19:00,950 --> 01:18:59,199 right 1800 01:19:04,229 --> 01:19:00,960 no creative adjustments to the 1801 01:19:05,030 --> 01:19:04,239 historical narrative are you staying 1802 01:19:06,950 --> 01:19:05,040 uh 1803 01:19:09,669 --> 01:19:06,960 you know are you treating this as you 1804 01:19:12,149 --> 01:19:09,679 know a non-fiction documentary 1805 01:19:15,189 --> 01:19:12,159 i've i think that 1806 01:19:16,390 --> 01:19:15,199 no matter what the no matter 1807 01:19:18,390 --> 01:19:16,400 how 1808 01:19:21,030 --> 01:19:18,400 reliant we are 1809 01:19:24,550 --> 01:19:21,040 on the on the sources and all of that 1810 01:19:27,270 --> 01:19:24,560 because this is a an adaptation into a 1811 01:19:28,790 --> 01:19:27,280 medium there are going to be uh like 1812 01:19:31,350 --> 01:19:28,800 there'll be liberties there'll be 1813 01:19:33,910 --> 01:19:31,360 simplifications in certain moments but 1814 01:19:36,709 --> 01:19:33,920 the thing like you know the thing that i 1815 01:19:39,030 --> 01:19:36,719 think i've already simplified in the the 1816 01:19:43,110 --> 01:19:39,040 first account is i think they stopped 1817 01:19:45,590 --> 01:19:43,120 that car like five more times uh like 1818 01:19:47,750 --> 01:19:45,600 you know to be like but that that's not 1819 01:19:49,030 --> 01:19:47,760 a compelling read is to basically be 1820 01:19:50,790 --> 01:19:49,040 like you know what we're stopping the 1821 01:19:54,709 --> 01:19:50,800 car again we're stopping the car again 1822 01:19:56,550 --> 01:19:54,719 to step out and uh look at the the the 1823 01:19:58,550 --> 01:19:56,560 saucer that was flying 1824 01:20:00,310 --> 01:19:58,560 that was following them but it is 1825 01:20:03,430 --> 01:20:00,320 something that 1826 01:20:05,510 --> 01:20:03,440 would uh what what i am focused on a 1827 01:20:07,030 --> 01:20:05,520 much more is 1828 01:20:11,510 --> 01:20:07,040 how to 1829 01:20:15,750 --> 01:20:11,520 is not sensationalizing it is trying to 1830 01:20:19,750 --> 01:20:15,760 take the the honest heart of what what 1831 01:20:21,110 --> 01:20:19,760 happened in you know in their accounts 1832 01:20:22,470 --> 01:20:21,120 uh and 1833 01:20:24,390 --> 01:20:22,480 and and 1834 01:20:27,189 --> 01:20:24,400 like and capture that and like and 1835 01:20:30,310 --> 01:20:27,199 capture that genuinely and not try to 1836 01:20:32,629 --> 01:20:30,320 add a spin to it not try to add anything 1837 01:20:35,270 --> 01:20:32,639 it's we wanted to present we're trying 1838 01:20:38,470 --> 01:20:35,280 to present information rather than going 1839 01:20:40,629 --> 01:20:38,480 into this with a real uh thesis uh 1840 01:20:42,629 --> 01:20:40,639 beyond like the only thesis to what 1841 01:20:45,110 --> 01:20:42,639 we're doing is that we think these 1842 01:20:48,550 --> 01:20:45,120 stories should be told and and i think 1843 01:20:49,990 --> 01:20:48,560 ultimately you know i i i imagine and 1844 01:20:52,070 --> 01:20:50,000 this is something that you know that 1845 01:20:53,750 --> 01:20:52,080 we're talking about a book that is still 1846 01:20:55,830 --> 01:20:53,760 in proc we're in the process of writing 1847 01:20:58,149 --> 01:20:55,840 it we're working on a chapter to chapter 1848 01:20:59,750 --> 01:20:58,159 uh but i imagine it'll end 1849 01:21:00,790 --> 01:20:59,760 with uh 1850 01:21:03,669 --> 01:21:00,800 you know 1851 01:21:05,910 --> 01:21:03,679 with betty's uh interac interactions 1852 01:21:08,629 --> 01:21:05,920 with the community uh 1853 01:21:12,709 --> 01:21:08,639 that that uh you know and 1854 01:21:14,470 --> 01:21:12,719 her like pursuit to and her desire to 1855 01:21:15,910 --> 01:21:14,480 her pursuit for answers and also her 1856 01:21:18,149 --> 01:21:15,920 pursuit for 1857 01:21:19,830 --> 01:21:18,159 to to help people who would experience 1858 01:21:21,910 --> 01:21:19,840 uh what she had experienced and all of 1859 01:21:25,350 --> 01:21:21,920 that and it's the importance of these 1860 01:21:27,990 --> 01:21:25,360 stories continuing to exist in the ether 1861 01:21:30,870 --> 01:21:28,000 of american culture and beyond american 1862 01:21:34,310 --> 01:21:30,880 culture the just the you know 1863 01:21:37,110 --> 01:21:34,320 the original stories need to stay alive 1864 01:21:38,629 --> 01:21:37,120 uh they can't just all be replaced with 1865 01:21:41,430 --> 01:21:38,639 uh you know 1866 01:21:44,149 --> 01:21:41,440 pure fiction because the real stories 1867 01:21:47,350 --> 01:21:44,159 say something real about it's already 1868 01:21:50,310 --> 01:21:47,360 sensational right it's already big 1869 01:21:53,030 --> 01:21:50,320 right it's it's already there and and 1870 01:21:55,990 -->

01:22:10,629 --> 01:22:07,760 uh 1877 01:22:13,270 --> 01:22:10,639 the the hypnosis and those sessions 1878 01:22:14,070 --> 01:22:13,280 which are truly 1879 01:22:17,990 --> 01:22:14,080 uh 1880 01:22:21,189 --> 01:22:18,000 emotional i'm staying in bounds here 1881 01:22:23,669 --> 01:22:21,199 but it also goes into a zone 1882 01:22:25,189 --> 01:22:23,679 that is very 1883 01:22:27,270 --> 01:22:25,199 what's the word i'm going to use the 1884 01:22:29,430 --> 01:22:27,280 word adult 1885 01:22:31,110 --> 01:22:29,440 it goes into a very 1886 01:22:34,470 --> 01:22:31,120 adult area 1887 01:22:37,030 --> 01:22:34,480 um and it is it's terrifying both as a 1888 01:22:38,709 --> 01:22:37,040 reader of the interrupted journey but 1889 01:22:40,550 --> 01:22:38,719 knowing what they went through but 1890 01:22:43,189 --> 01:22:40,560 that's an opportunity 1891 01:22:44,629 --> 01:22:43,199 just if you stay word for word 1892 01:22:46,870 --> 01:22:44,639 uh there 1893 01:22:49,669 --> 01:22:46,880 to present something that is uh 1894 01:22:52,310 --> 01:22:49,679 terrifying that is that is horrifying 1895 01:22:54,310 --> 01:22:52,320 and is there a better medium than yours 1896 01:22:56,790 --> 01:22:54,320 to do this with 1897 01:22:58,790 --> 01:22:56,800 well i i i don't think there is and i 1898 01:23:00,870 --> 01:22:58,800 mean part of it is i'm you know i'm a 1899 01:23:02,629 --> 01:23:00,880 comic book evangelical like i'm 1900 01:23:04,149 --> 01:23:02,639 evangelical about comic books like 1901 01:23:06,470 --> 01:23:04,159 comics are my 1902 01:23:08,390 --> 01:23:06,480 my my life and i 1903 01:23:10,310 --> 01:23:08,400 you know i want to be making comics for 1904 01:23:12,149 --> 01:23:10,320 the rest of my life and 1905 01:23:15,350 --> 01:23:12,159 i think that there is a tremendous power 1906 01:23:16,229 --> 01:23:15,360 to comics uh because the in the way 1907 01:23:18,950 --> 01:23:16,239 that 1908 01:23:21,189 --> 01:23:18,960 readers can interact with like readers 1909 01:23:25,350 --> 01:23:21,199 control the pace at which they read a 1910 01:23:27,189 --> 01:23:25,360 story which means that you know as as uh 1911 01:23:30,709 --> 01:23:27,199 you know a writer working with an artist 1912 01:23:33,030 --> 01:23:30,719 like we our job is to find moments where 1913 01:23:35,910 --> 01:23:33,040 we arrest the reader 1914 01:23:37,110 --> 01:23:35,920 uh with either our words or with the 1915 01:23:39,430 --> 01:23:37,120 images 1916 01:23:41,430 --> 01:23:39,440 and and really sort of you know hold 1917 01:23:44,550 --> 01:23:41,440 them in place so they don't just you 1918 01:23:48,709 --> 01:23:44,560 know scan past a moment and so honestly 1919 01:23:50,790 --> 01:23:48,719 like dealing with the the hypnosis uh 1920 01:23:53,030 --> 01:23:50,800 part of this story is going to be it's 1921 01:23:56,149 --> 01:23:53,040 going to be very challenging but it's a 1922 01:23:58,709 --> 01:23:56,159 it's a creative challenge that i am i'm 1923 01:24:01,030 --> 01:23:58,719 excited for because like one of the 1924 01:24:03,510 --> 01:24:01,040 other things that just led to 1925 01:24:06,709 --> 01:24:03,520 the creation of this book in general is 1926 01:24:09,030 --> 01:24:06,719 you know this is my first time adapting 1927 01:24:10,470 --> 01:24:09,040 from source material and it's you know 1928 01:24:13,189 --> 01:24:10,480 when we have 1929 01:24:15,750 --> 01:24:13,199 i've about uh like you know obviously 1930 01:24:18,629 --> 01:24:15,760 like i have the interrupted journey i 1931 01:24:20,550 --> 01:24:18,639 have captured uh like you know and then 1932 01:24:21,430 --> 01:24:20,560 i have another number of other books 1933 01:24:24,470 --> 01:24:21,440 that 1934 01:24:26,470 --> 01:24:24,480 like come at it from like it's only like 1935 01:24:29,350 --> 01:24:26,480 it's only an entry in my ufo 1936 01:24:31,750 --> 01:24:29,360 encyclopedia but it's like but honestly 1937 01:24:34,470 --> 01:24:31,760 the bibliography in the ufo encyclopedia 1938 01:24:36,070 --> 01:24:34,480 then helped me uh you know go in the 1939 01:24:38,550 --> 01:24:36,080 direction of a bunch of other stuff so 1940 01:24:40,229 --> 01:24:38,560 it's like i love doing research research 1941 01:24:41,669 --> 01:24:40,239 is like that's my favorite part of 1942 01:24:43,990 --> 01:24:41,679 working on department of truth that's my 1943 01:24:45,830 --> 01:24:44,000 favorite part of working on blue book uh 1944 01:24:46,870 --> 01:24:45,840 and it is something where 1945 01:25:01,110 --> 01:24:46,880 i 1946 01:25:02,390 --> 01:25:01,120 you know 1947 01:25:05,110 --> 01:25:02,400 it is 1948 01:25:06,629 --> 01:25:05,120 how to avoid honestly repetition like 1949 01:25:09,030 --> 01:25:06,639 because it is one of those things where 1950 01:25:11,430 --> 01:25:09,040 it's like i'm still trying to 1951 01:25:14,870 --> 01:25:11,440 you know as much as like it's staying 1952 01:25:17,669 --> 01:25:14,880 true to the the material while also 1953 01:25:21,110 --> 01:25:17,679 making a good reading experience for for 1954 01:25:22,790 --> 01:25:21,120 someone and the creative like 1955 01:25:24,790 --> 01:25:22,800 you know 1956 01:25:26,790 --> 01:25:24,800 the uh the creative questions that you 1957 01:25:31,030 --> 01:25:26,800 kind of have to ask yourself as you are 1958 01:25:33,510 --> 01:25:31,040 adapting something on the fly uh are 1959 01:25:35,669 --> 01:25:33,520 like it's it's it is a really really 1960 01:25:36,950 --> 01:25:35,679 fascinating process it's unlike anything 1961 01:25:39,910 --> 01:25:36,960 i've worked on before and it's 1962 01:25:41,430 --> 01:25:39,920 incredibly thrilling uh to just be able 1963 01:25:44,070 --> 01:25:41,440 to sort of 1964 01:25:45,910 --> 01:25:44,080 tap into all of this and and and see 1965 01:25:47,990 --> 01:25:45,920 where it takes me but which is a lot to 1966 01:25:49,669 --> 01:25:48,000 say is like this is one of the next 1967 01:25:51,430 --> 01:25:49,679 things i need to write and i have a lot 1968 01:25:52,870 --> 01:25:51,440 of thoughts about how i'm gonna like 1969 01:25:54,790 --> 01:25:52,880 write it and then i'm gonna talk to 1970 01:25:57,750 --> 01:25:54,800 michael about how like how i write it 1971 01:25:59,350 --> 01:25:57,760 and all of it uh but it's the that is 1972 01:26:02,629 --> 01:25:59,360 the that's the big question of what 1973 01:26:04,629 --> 01:26:02,639 comes next uh as we get into the story 1974 01:26:07,910 --> 01:26:04,639 of what happened when they returned home 1975 01:26:10,149 --> 01:26:07,920 to uh new hampshire uh and started 1976 01:26:11,750 --> 01:26:10,159 realizing that what happened to them was 1977 01:26:15,110 --> 01:26:11,760 much more than 1978 01:26:17,430 --> 01:26:15,120 what uh you know the already the already 1979 01:26:20,870 --> 01:26:17,440 terrifying events that uh they 1980 01:26:25,030 --> 01:26:20,880 remembered taking place now michael uh 1981 01:26:26,310 --> 01:26:25,040 you you get to draw some flying saucers 1982 01:26:28,790 --> 01:26:26,320 right 1983 01:26:33,110 --> 01:26:28,800 how how cool is that you get to 1984 01:26:36,310 --> 01:26:33,120 get into these uh species and grays and 1985 01:26:39,590 --> 01:26:36,320 and and and all of that and the interior 1986 01:26:40,790 --> 01:26:39,600 of of of flying how cool is that for you 1987 01:26:43,430 --> 01:26:40,800 to finally 1988 01:26:45,990 --> 01:26:43,440 uh let loose 1989 01:26:48,629 --> 01:26:46,000 it's really cool it's it's intimidating 1990 01:26:51,430 --> 01:26:48,639 because um especially in the barney and 1991 01:26:52,950 --> 01:26:51,440 betty hill story you tend to start to 1992 01:26:54,470 --> 01:26:52,960 think you know them as people when 1993 01:26:55,510 --> 01:26:54,480 you're working on it 1994 01:26:57,350 --> 01:26:55,520 um 1995 01:26:58,629 --> 01:26:57,360 so you want to represent what they saw 1996 01:27:00,870 --> 01:26:58,639 as as 1997 01:27:01,990 --> 01:27:00,880 carefully as possible you know 1998 01:27:04,709 --> 01:27:02,000 um 1999 01:27:05,669 --> 01:27:04,719 one thing i didn't do uh there's a scene 2000 01:27:07,990 --> 01:27:05,679 where 2001 01:27:10,470 --> 01:27:08,000 barney first describes the aliens and 2002 01:27:11,750 --> 01:27:10,480 one of them he has these mixed images or 2003 01:27:13,750 --> 01:27:11,760 what we call uh 2004 01:27:16,550 --> 01:27:13,760 something memories like screen memories 2005 01:27:18,149 --> 01:27:16,560 right right so like he initially recalls 2006 01:27:19,990 --> 01:27:18,159 in his dreams or something that seeing 2007 01:27:22,149 --> 01:27:20,000 them in like captains uniforms and being 2008 01:27:24,550 --> 01:27:22,159 very human-like and yeah even has an 2009 01:27:26,229 --> 01:27:24,560 image of one of the the quote grays 2010 01:27:27,510 --> 01:27:26,239 which didn't quite look like the greys 2011 01:27:29,030 --> 01:27:27,520 we know now 2012 01:27:31,910 --> 01:27:29,040 so i made sure to model it off of their 2013 01:27:33,830 --> 01:27:31,920 sketches not of not of modern grades but 2014 01:27:35,270 --> 01:27:33,840 like how they describe them but like in 2015 01:27:37,590 --> 01:27:35,280 one of them you described the guy having 2016 01:27:39,990 --> 01:27:37,600 a hat on you know i am not going to draw 2017 01:27:41,669 --> 01:27:40,000 a gray with a hat on because it's just 2018 01:27:42,550 --> 01:27:41,679 not going to translate 2019 01:27:44,629 --> 01:27:42,560 you know 2020 01:27:46,629 --> 01:27:44,639 in this horrifying moment this bizarre 2021 01:27:48,390 --> 01:27:46,639 scene isn't go you know it might work in 2022 01:27:49,590 --> 01:27:48,400 film but i don't know how it would work 2023 01:27:51,270 --> 01:27:49,600 in the comic 2024 01:27:53,189 --> 01:27:51,280 so it is fun to draw this stuff but i'm 2025 01:27:55,830 --> 01:27:53,199 really trying to channel the people who 2026 01:27:56,709 --> 01:27:55,840 experienced it as as much as possible 2027 01:27:58,070 --> 01:27:56,719 um 2028 01:27:59,990 --> 01:27:58,080 so when i was drawing these pages 2029 01:28:01,750 --> 01:28:00,000 there's actually not a lot of shots of 2030 01:28:03,350 --> 01:28:01,760 the of the the ship 2031 01:28:05,110 --> 01:28:03,360 that that follows them we do see it 2032 01:28:07,189 --> 01:28:05,120 pretty clearly a couple times but i'm 2033 01:28:09,189 --> 01:28:07,199 concentrating on their experience what 2034 01:28:11,430 --> 01:28:09,199 was what were they feeling 2035 01:28:14,470 --> 01:28:11,440 um betty had a very kind of zen-like 2036 01:28:16,310 --> 01:28:14,480 thing where it felt like she while not 2037 01:28:18,550 --> 01:28:16,320 welcoming the experience 2038 01:28:20,870 --> 01:28:18,560 allowed it to kind of happen to her and 2039 01:28:23,750 --> 01:28:20,880 to soak it in and think about it 2040 01:28:25,590 --> 01:28:23,760 barney fought it every step of the way 2041 01:28:28,070 --> 01:28:25,600 um so i'm drawing barney with a lot of 2042 01:28:29,910 --> 01:28:28,080 pain in his eyes like what he's seeing 2043 01:28:32,390 --> 01:28:29,920 he's not just not understanding he's not 2044 01:28:34,550 --> 01:28:32,400 just afraid it's breaking his mind it's 2045 01:28:35,830 --> 01:28:34,560 it's it's you know that's at least 2046 01:28:37,189 --> 01:28:35,840 that's the feeling i get when i listen 2047 01:28:39,430 --> 01:28:37,199 to like the hypnosis tapes and his 2048 01:28:41,669 --> 01:28:39,440 horror i want the way he describes it 2049 01:28:44,310 --> 01:28:41,679 regularly yes so that's the stuff i'm 2050 01:28:46,310 --> 01:28:44,320 really really trying to capture uh the 2051 01:28:49,030 --> 01:28:46,320 book uh the interrupted journey it's a 2052 01:28:52,629 --> 01:28:49,040 great uh reference uh 2053 01:28:54,070 --> 01:28:52,639 for sure but the other part is those 2054 01:28:56,229 --> 01:28:54,080 those tapes 2055 01:28:59,189 --> 01:28:56,239 james i'm sure that you've listened to 2056 01:29:00,629 --> 01:28:59,199 them and the emotion about what is going 2057 01:29:02,310 --> 01:29:00,639 down there 2058 01:29:04,390 --> 01:29:02,320 is uh pretty incredible how did that 2059 01:29:07,030 --> 01:29:04,400 make you feel 2060 01:29:09,270 --> 01:29:07,040 i mean it's it's overwhelming it's like 2061 01:29:11,510 --> 01:29:09,280 it is uh 2062 01:29:14,790 --> 01:29:11,520 it's incredibly affecting and it's one 2063 01:29:16,310 --> 01:29:14,800 of those things that it is 2064 01:29:17,910 --> 01:29:16,320 i don't know it's 2065 01:29:20,470 --> 01:29:17,920 like 2066 01:29:23,030 --> 01:29:20,480 it's it's daunting it's daunting to 2067 01:29:25,350 --> 01:29:23,040 approach it as someone who's like you 2068 01:29:28,070 --> 01:29:25,360 know going to be interacting 2069 01:29:30,390 --> 01:29:28,080 uh with all this and in the way that we 2070 01:29:33,189 --> 01:29:30,400 are because it's just like there's 2071 01:29:36,149 --> 01:29:33,199 a responsibility here for 2072 01:29:39,750 --> 01:29:36,159 uh to capture a really 2073 01:29:41,910 --> 01:29:39,760 like a very human response to something 2074 01:29:44,070 --> 01:29:41,920 that you know was 2075 01:29:46,470 --> 01:29:44,080 like something fundamentally 2076 01:29:48,950 --> 01:29:46,480 inhuman that that was happening and it 2077 01:29:50,950 --> 01:29:48,960 is this you know when 2078 01:29:53,910 --> 01:29:50,960 like 2079 01:29:55,350 --> 01:29:53,920 i don't know it is something that i am 2080 01:29:57,590 --> 01:29:55,360 uh 2081 01:30:00,709 --> 01:29:57,600 you know i i desperately want i want to 2082 01:30:02,870 --> 01:30:00,719 get it right that is that that's the big 2083 01:30:05,350 --> 01:30:02,880 thing but i mean just like personally i 2084 01:30:08,470 --> 01:30:05,360 found it deeply deeply affecting and it 2085 01:30:10,390 --> 01:30:08,480 is you know and i think even 2086 01:30:13,189 --> 01:30:10,400 you know when when i was a kid obviously 2087 01:30:17,750 --> 01:30:13,199 i wasn't listening uh to those 2088 01:30:20,550 --> 01:30:17,760 to the tapes but it was uh i remembered 2089 01:30:22,229 --> 01:30:20,560 like the the fact that you know because 2090 01:30:24,870 --> 01:30:22,239 when you're a kid and you're fascinated 2091 01:30:27,110 --> 01:30:24,880 with ufos it's just like you you always 2092 01:30:29,350 --> 01:30:27,120 want the it's like oh if i saw one i 2093 01:30:31,990 --> 01:30:29,360 would just be like so happy that i saw 2094 01:30:33,990 --> 01:30:32,000 one and it was just like even then as 2095 01:30:36,310 --> 01:30:34,000 like a five-year-old understanding is 2096 01:30:37,350 --> 01:30:36,320 like this is someone who is not happy 2097 01:30:38,310 --> 01:30:37,360 about 2098 01:30:40,070 --> 01:30:38,320 uh 2099 01:30:42,070 --> 01:30:40,080 about what was going on and then on top 2100 01:30:44,149 --> 01:30:42,080 of that there's you know the other thing 2101 01:30:46,470 --> 01:30:44,159 with barney that i find so fascinating 2102 01:30:49,270 --> 01:30:46,480 is like betty is obviously like she's 2103 01:30:51,110 --> 01:30:49,280 more willing to engage in all the 2104 01:30:53,830 --> 01:30:51,120 possibilities of what happened to them 2105 01:30:55,830 --> 01:30:53,840 and all of that and barney uh is 2106 01:30:59,030 --> 01:30:55,840 resistant uh the entire time and 2107 01:31:01,350 --> 01:30:59,040 partially you know uh like you you could 2108 01:31:03,510 --> 01:31:01,360 ascribe that to uh 2109 01:31:05,030 --> 01:31:03,520 you know what the what k 2110 01:31:07,110 --> 01:31:05,040 what would ultimately come out of those 2111 01:31:07,830 --> 01:31:07,120 tapes or you could also just describe it 2112 01:31:10,149 --> 01:31:07,840 to 2113 01:31:13,990 --> 01:31:10,159 uh the time and the fact that it's like 2114 01:31:16,870 --> 01:31:14,000 this is there's there is on you know any 2115 01:31:18,470 --> 01:31:16,880 level a kind of violation that happened 2116 01:31:19,350 --> 01:31:18,480 because it's 2117 01:31:22,629 --> 01:31:19,360 you know 2118 01:31:25,590 --> 01:31:22,639 it's just the idea that you if for any 2119

2122 01:31:34,310 --> 01:31:32,639 itself is a violation it's like any all 2123 01:31:36,310 --> 01:31:34,320 of these things are just like it's 2124 01:31:37,830 --> 01:31:36,320 something taken from

talking about this 2267 01:38:30,870 --> 01:38:28,239 earlier but i liked my freudian slip 2268 01:38:33,510 --> 01:38:30,880 so i can segue back into that part of 2269 01:38:34,950 --> 01:38:33,520 the conversation the problem with that 2270 01:38:38,390 --> 01:38:34,960 series 2271 01:38:40,149 --> 01:38:38,400 um and i i noticed it from episode one 2272 01:38:42,390 --> 01:38:40,159 suddenly 2273 01:38:45,350 --> 01:38:42,400 uh they took they took 2274 01:38:48,950 --> 01:38:45,360 they took a huge amount of artistic 2275 01:38:51,270 --> 01:38:48,960 freedom uh to get creative and 2276 01:38:52,950 --> 01:38:51,280 and i guess help the storyline along 2277 01:38:56,149 --> 01:38:52,960 okay but 2278 01:38:57,109 --> 01:38:56,159 serious inaccuracies and 2279 01:39:06,550 --> 01:38:57,119 and 2280 01:39:09,910 --> 01:39:06,560 caught up in that 2281 01:39:12,229 --> 01:39:09,920 and what i ended up doing was i had to 2282 01:39:13,990 --> 01:39:12,239 let my mind go michael i know you heard 2283 01:39:17,510 --> 01:39:14,000 me talk about this many times on the 2284 01:39:18,629 --> 01:39:17,520 show in that i just had to let it go 2285 01:39:21,270 --> 01:39:18,639 and just 2286 01:39:23,669 --> 01:39:21,280 enjoy it as 2287 01:39:27,270 --> 01:39:23,679 non-fiction right 2288 01:39:30,950 --> 01:39:27,280 and just and just uh or enjoy it as 2289 01:39:32,390 --> 01:39:30,960 fiction not non-fiction and and and just 2290 01:39:35,830 --> 01:39:32,400 go with it 2291 01:39:37,590 --> 01:39:35,840 but you will have critics if you if you 2292 01:39:39,590 --> 01:39:37,600 bust off of that 2293 01:39:41,990 --> 01:39:39,600 and that is something that is very 2294 01:39:44,070 --> 01:39:42,000 important not only in the illustrations 2295 01:39:46,310 --> 01:39:44,080 and the way that things are presented 2296 01:39:48,629 --> 01:39:46,320 because somebody's going to say man the 2297 01:39:51,910 --> 01:39:48,639 saucer didn't look like that dude 2298 01:39:56,229 --> 01:39:51,920 right the the the grays didn't look no 2299 01:39:58,950 --> 01:39:57,750 and you've got to be 2300 01:40:01,910 --> 01:39:58,960 this is something you have to be 2301 01:40:04,229 --> 01:40:01,920 cognizant of right mike 2302 01:40:06,390 --> 01:40:04,239 yeah um i mean we are absolutely trying 2303 01:40:08,390 --> 01:40:06,400 our best to be as accurate as possible 2304 01:40:10,629 --> 01:40:08,400 um to the point of like there's things 2305 01:40:13,430 --> 01:40:10,639 i'm figuring out now that i normally do 2306 01:40:15,830 --> 01:40:13,440 in comics that i can't do in this story 2307 01:40:17,189 --> 01:40:15,840 um for instance at the beginning of this 2308 01:40:19,109 --> 01:40:17,199 uh you'll notice that that betty's 2309 01:40:21,990 --> 01:40:19,119 wearing a jacket 2310 01:40:23,750 --> 01:40:22,000 i i don't think she wore a jacket um i 2311 01:40:25,350 --> 01:40:23,760 just surmised that is that when i when 2312 01:40:26,870 --> 01:40:25,360 i'm drawing a book i think about things 2313 01:40:28,950 --> 01:40:26,880 like the environment where are they 2314 01:40:30,070 --> 01:40:28,960 they're driving a car at night it's like 2315 01:40:31,430 --> 01:40:30,080 september 2316 01:40:33,109 --> 01:40:31,440 so i'm thinking it's cold and they're in 2317 01:40:35,830 --> 01:40:33,119 canada and stuff so i don't know if she 2318 01:40:37,830 --> 01:40:35,840 has a jacket on and i don't there's no i 2319 01:40:39,030 --> 01:40:37,840 don't have any recall of listening to 2320 01:40:40,470 --> 01:40:39,040 any of the stories of reading them where 2321 01:40:43,189 --> 01:40:40,480 the jacket is an issue we talk about the 2322 01:40:45,109 --> 01:40:43,199 dress we talk about his uh his clothing 2323 01:40:46,870 --> 01:40:45,119 we talk about like the shoes being 2324 01:40:49,270 --> 01:40:46,880 scuffed up like that's all in that's 2325 01:40:50,870 --> 01:40:49,280 that's all recounted but i put a jacket 2326 01:40:53,350 --> 01:40:50,880 on her and afterwards like damn it i 2327 01:40:55,430 --> 01:40:53,360 don't think she had a jacket on so like 2328 01:40:57,910 --> 01:40:55,440 even that even to that extent i'm we're 2329 01:40:59,910 --> 01:40:57,920 trying our best to stay on top and make 2330 01:41:01,750 --> 01:40:59,920 things right and the beautiful thing is 2331 01:41:03,189 --> 01:41:01,760 because we're digital first well 2332 01:41:05,109 --> 01:41:03,199 eventually this will eventually see 2333 01:41:07,590 --> 01:41:05,119 print if there's something that that 2334 01:41:10,070 --> 01:41:07,600 really bugs us um without being nitpicky 2335 01:41:12,070 --> 01:41:10,080 we can go ahead and fix it if if we 2336 01:41:13,750 --> 01:41:12,080 choose to you know so we are definitely 2337 01:41:15,750 --> 01:41:13,760 doing our best and i feel the 2338 01:41:17,669 --> 01:41:15,760 responsibility in the eyes of the ufo 2339 01:41:19,910 --> 01:41:17,679 community watching us yeah reddit will 2340 01:41:23,030 --> 01:41:19,920 fix it for you yeah 2341 01:41:25,910 --> 01:41:23,040 yeah no question about it and uh now i 2342 01:41:27,510 --> 01:41:25,920 wanted to because james earlier and i 2343 01:41:31,510 --> 01:41:27,520 find this interesting 2344 01:41:32,790 --> 01:41:31,520 where you guys want to ride this to a 2345 01:41:35,109 --> 01:41:32,800 conclusion 2346 01:41:37,109 --> 01:41:35,119 right and you know getting out there uh 2347 01:41:40,070 --> 01:41:37,119 with betty and and her dealing with the 2348 01:41:41,910 --> 01:41:40,080 community and so so there's all of that 2349 01:41:43,590 --> 01:41:41,920 in between stuff now i just brought up 2350 01:41:45,430 --> 01:41:43,600 the star map 2351 01:41:48,310 --> 01:41:45,440 which uh 2352 01:41:50,790 --> 01:41:48,320 happened much later now it happened 2353 01:41:56,390 --> 01:41:50,800 obviously in 1961 2354 01:41:58,950 --> 01:41:56,400 but what happened in 1969 1970 71 72 2355 01:42:01,350 --> 01:41:58,960 with the resolution of the star map and 2356 01:42:04,070 --> 01:42:01,360 how that was revealed 2357 01:42:06,470 --> 01:42:04,080 is that something that you are going to 2358 01:42:08,550 --> 01:42:06,480 include somehow 2359 01:42:11,590 --> 01:42:08,560 because you've got a linear time that 2360 01:42:13,350 --> 01:42:11,600 you need to deal with so how far 2361 01:42:15,189 --> 01:42:13,360 into the conclusion are you guys going 2362 01:42:17,669 --> 01:42:15,199 to go 2363 01:42:20,149 --> 01:42:17,679 that's a really good question uh i kind 2364 01:42:22,229 --> 01:42:20,159 of feel like we have to we have to take 2365 01:42:24,229 --> 01:42:22,239 it that far because it is one of those 2366 01:42:25,510 --> 01:42:24,239 things where like so many 2367 01:42:37,189 --> 01:42:25,520 of 2368 01:42:39,189 --> 01:42:37,199 in uh 2369 01:42:41,750 --> 01:42:39,199 in a story like 2370 01:42:43,430 --> 01:42:41,760 like the hill encounter and so actually 2371 01:42:47,109 --> 01:42:43,440 being able to 2372 01:42:48,629 --> 01:42:47,119 uh to tap into that uh like it and and 2373 01:42:53,030 --> 01:42:48,639 wield that like 2374 01:42:56,390 --> 01:42:53,040 i do think that as the story moves on uh 2375 01:42:59,270 --> 01:42:56,400 like the the first three chapters tell 2376 01:43:02,390 --> 01:42:59,280 the initial encounter like the you know 2377 01:43:04,709 --> 01:43:02,400 it's the first 30 pages basically uh 2378 01:43:06,790 --> 01:43:04,719 that you know it is the the first 2379 01:43:08,870 --> 01:43:06,800 encounter with with the 2380 01:43:10,790 --> 01:43:08,880 you know with the ufo but it's before 2381 01:43:13,109 --> 01:43:10,800 and we see the missing time and all of 2382 01:43:16,229 --> 01:43:13,119 that i'm sorry to spoil but i have a 2383 01:43:19,189 --> 01:43:16,239 feeling this the this community it like 2384 01:43:21,350 --> 01:43:19,199 is pretty familiar with uh with the the 2385 01:43:25,270 --> 01:43:21,360 course of events uh but it is 2386 01:43:26,709 --> 01:43:25,280 uh but and then in the next section like 2387 01:43:29,270 --> 01:43:26,719 i'm sort of you know the way that i'm 2388 01:43:31,830 --> 01:43:29,280 thinking about it is kind of in you know 2389 01:43:34,149 --> 01:43:31,840 in sort of three acts and it's like the 2390 01:43:36,149 --> 01:43:34,159 first act is the initial encounter the 2391 01:43:40,310 --> 01:43:36,159 second act is 2392 01:43:41,350 --> 01:43:40,320 the you know the uncovering of okay this 2393 01:43:43,430 --> 01:43:41,360 is 2394 01:43:45,990 --> 01:43:43,440 like there there was more going on and 2395 01:43:47,189 --> 01:43:46,000 all of that and then the last chapter i 2396 01:43:49,350 --> 01:43:47,199 think will 2397 01:43:51,189 --> 01:43:49,360 uh probably or not the last chapter the 2398 01:43:54,709 --> 01:43:51,199 last act which will probably be another 2399 01:43:55,590 --> 01:43:54,719 three chapters we'll uh we'll deal with 2400 01:43:57,430 --> 01:43:55,600 the 2401 01:43:59,109 --> 01:43:57,440 you know it would like i think we'll 2402 01:44:02,870 --> 01:43:59,119 we'll deal with the star map but we'll 2403 01:44:05,270 --> 01:44:02,880 deal with the um you know but all 2404 01:44:08,390 --> 01:44:05,280 them becoming national figures 2405 01:44:11,510 --> 01:44:08,400 that that element of the story 2406 01:44:13,590 --> 01:44:11,520 uh and you know it'll also deal with uh 2407 01:44:14,709 --> 01:44:13,600 barney's death like because i i feel 2408 01:44:17,189 --> 01:44:14,719 like that 2409 01:44:20,390 --> 01:44:17,199 uh that has a key 2410 01:44:22,709 --> 01:44:20,400 place in this story as well uh and so it 2411 01:44:24,629 --> 01:44:22,719 is something that all of those pieces 2412 01:44:25,750 --> 01:44:24,639 together i think like i think it does 2413 01:44:28,470 --> 01:44:25,760 sort of 2414 01:44:30,070 --> 01:44:28,480 situate it does situate into those sort 2415 01:44:33,830 --> 01:44:30,080 of three 2416 01:44:34,950 --> 01:44:33,840 types of like you know arenas of story 2417 01:44:37,030 --> 01:44:34,960 to tell 2418 01:44:39,270 --> 01:44:37,040 um now 2419 01:44:40,310 --> 01:44:39,280 it's called blue book 2420 01:44:41,830 --> 01:44:40,320 so 2421 01:44:42,709 --> 01:44:41,840 are your 2422 01:44:48,950 --> 01:44:42,719 uh 2423 01:44:50,550 --> 01:44:48,960 going to focus on cases from blue book 2424 01:44:51,990 --> 01:44:50,560 or are you going to venture out beyond 2425 01:44:53,830 --> 01:44:52,000 that 2426 01:44:56,070 --> 01:44:53,840 our goal is to venture out beyond like 2427 01:44:57,830 --> 01:44:56,080 blue book and it's also that's why it's 2428 01:45:00,070 --> 01:44:57,840 not called project blue book and all of 2429 01:45:01,590 --> 01:45:00,080 that uh like you know blue book 2430 01:45:04,470 --> 01:45:01,600 references the way in which we're 2431 01:45:06,629 --> 01:45:04,480 telling the story uh almost it's more 2432 01:45:08,629 --> 01:45:06,639 than anything else it's you know blue 2433 01:45:12,070 --> 01:45:08,639 project blue book obviously 2434 01:45:13,990 --> 01:45:12,080 uh like being an investigative entity 2435 01:45:18,149 --> 01:45:14,000 trying to find the truth about ufos we 2436 01:45:20,390 --> 01:45:18,159 want to tap into the idea of you know 2437 01:45:22,629 --> 01:45:20,400 approaching ufos from 2438 01:45:24,070 --> 01:45:22,639 uh a considered 2439 01:45:25,510 --> 01:45:24,080 like you know 2440 01:45:27,910 --> 01:45:25,520 from like 2441 01:45:31,109 --> 01:45:27,920 trying to lay out the facts like that 2442 01:45:33,350 --> 01:45:31,119 that we want that to be a core priority 2443 01:45:36,310 --> 01:45:33,360 and then secondarily we want to sort of 2444 01:45:38,950 --> 01:45:36,320 capture that like the vibe of blue book 2445 01:45:40,390 --> 01:45:38,960 and all of that so when the the betty 2446 01:45:42,470 --> 01:45:40,400 and barney hill 2447 01:45:45,270 --> 01:45:42,480 section of blue book ultimately comes 2448 01:45:48,790 --> 01:45:45,280 out whether that's

can sort of 2591 01:51:25,510 --> 01:51:22,560 cross-reference and i can sort of pull 2592 01:51:27,669 --> 01:51:25,520 different pieces from uh each one sort 2593 01:51:31,030 --> 01:51:27,679 of you know gives a different 2594 01:51:32,950 --> 01:51:31,040 level of uh detail and all of that and 2595 01:51:34,950 --> 01:51:32,960 it's sort of you know 2596 01:51:38,310 --> 01:51:34,960 you can kind of boil it all down 2597 01:51:41,430 --> 01:51:38,320 uh when it gets down to a single source 2598 01:51:44,870 --> 01:51:41,440 it starts uh you know like it starts 2599 01:51:47,109 --> 01:51:44,880 feeling a lot more subjective and i 2600 01:51:48,790 --> 01:51:47,119 so like rendelsham is perfect like 2601 01:51:50,390 --> 01:51:48,800 rendlesham there are so many different 2602

deeply fascinated in 2605 01:51:59,669 --> 01:51:57,760 uh you know so like i think we'll lean 2606 01:52:02,390 --> 01:51:59,679 into that and then and then on top of 2607 01:52:06,310 --> 01:52:02,400 that i do think we want to do uh like 2608 01:52:08,950 --> 01:52:06,320 short pieces uh that that just you know 2609 01:52:11,589 --> 01:52:08,960 like a kind of one and done like really 2610 01:52:12,629 --> 01:52:11,599 fascinating story and then yeah i know 2611 01:52:15,030 --> 01:52:12,639 michael is 2612 01:52:17,910 --> 01:52:15,040 we've talked about doing like the more 2613

01:52:22,480 you know but that might be a little 2617 01:52:25,910 --> 01:52:24,320 further down the road once we've sort of 2618 01:52:28,870 --> 01:52:25,920 defined what 2619 01:52:31,350 --> 01:52:28,880 like what is in the auspices of uh like 2620 01:52:34,950 --> 01:52:31,360 of blue book as a comic project uh 2621 01:52:36,870 --> 01:52:34,960 michael what would be pre-flying saucer 2622 01:52:38,149 --> 01:52:36,880 like in the in the 1800s you know 2623 01:52:40,229 --> 01:52:38,159 there's all these stories of the 2624 01:52:42,229 --> 01:52:40,239 airships and they're exactly the same 2625 01:52:44,149 --> 01:52:42,239 they're but they're instead of flying 2626 01:52:46,070 --> 01:52:44,159 saucers they're balloons and there's 2627 01:52:48,550 --> 01:52:46,080 weird semi-human looking people with 2628 01:52:49,510 --> 01:52:48,560 fake beards on it sounds ridiculous but 2629 01:52:51,350 --> 01:52:49,520 you know and some of the stories were 2630 01:52:53,589 --> 01:52:51,360 clearly made up but some of them were 2631 01:52:54,870 --> 01:52:53,599 supposedly this is this is however the 2632 01:52:57,189 --> 01:52:54,880 you know we know the phenomenon like 2633 01:52:58,950 --> 01:52:57,199 seems to present itself in 2634 01:53:00,709 --> 01:52:58,960 ways that match the time period for 2635 01:53:02,229 --> 01:53:00,719 whatever reason you know 2636 01:53:03,750 --> 01:53:02,239 um so so those are some of those stories 2637 01:53:05,109 --> 01:53:03,760 i mean they're fascinating you know to 2638 01:53:06,709 --> 01:53:05,119 me they're like they say they're from 2639 01:53:09,109 --> 01:53:06,719 venus and they're in a hot air balloon 2640 01:53:10,870 --> 01:53:09,119 and they just wrote down with the stuff 2641 01:53:12,390 --> 01:53:10,880 um but it still ties into a lot of the 2642 01:53:13,910 --> 01:53:12,400 same themes and has a lot of the same 2643 01:53:15,990 --> 01:53:13,920 meanings to it so 2644 01:53:17,350 --> 01:53:16,000 i think all those things have to be 2645 01:53:19,270 --> 01:53:17,360 looked at i mean that and the longer 2646 01:53:20,790 --> 01:53:19,280 you're in this field 2647 01:53:21,830 --> 01:53:20,800 the weirder it gets 2648 01:53:23,830 --> 01:53:21,840 you know 2649 01:53:26,950 --> 01:53:23,840 yeah yeah it uh 2650 01:53:29,669 --> 01:53:26,960 it's it's bottomless in the weird yes 2651 01:53:31,030 --> 01:53:29,679 um and and james so i wanted to ask you 2652 01:53:33,430 --> 01:53:31,040 this 2653 01:53:36,790 --> 01:53:33,440 um with everything that is going on 2654 01:53:38,709 --> 01:53:36,800 today and i want to talk to you also 2655 01:53:43,189 --> 01:53:38,719 personally about uh 2656 01:53:46,070 --> 01:53:43,199 uh your ufo experiences but and e.t 2657 01:53:49,109 --> 01:53:46,080 but today it's all out there now you've 2658 01:53:51,030 --> 01:53:49,119 got the department of truth in in in the 2659 01:53:53,669 --> 01:53:51,040 department of defense 2660 01:53:55,109 --> 01:53:53,679 and them controlling the narrative and 2661 01:54:01,189 --> 01:53:55,119 uh the 2662 01:54:03,189 --> 01:54:01,199 and and the senate intelligence 2663 01:54:05,669 --> 01:54:03,199 committee it's it's like it's exactly 2664 01:54:07,990 --> 01:54:05,679 what you write about in the department 2665 01:54:10,390 --> 01:54:08,000 of truth but it's happening in real time 2666 01:54:12,950 --> 01:54:10,400 with the subject of et's and ufos how 2667 01:54:16,709 --> 01:54:12,960 closely do you follow what is going on 2668 01:54:19,990 --> 01:54:16,719 in the media and washington dc 2669 01:54:22,229 --> 01:54:20,000 all i follow i do follow it because i 2670 01:54:24,790 --> 01:54:22,239 mean it's too fascinating not to follow 2671 01:54:25,830 --> 01:54:24,800 it uh but it is one of those things 2672 01:54:27,910 --> 01:54:25,840 where 2673 01:54:30,390 --> 01:54:27,920 i think in 2674 01:54:33,270 --> 01:54:31,270 you know 2675 01:54:35,109 --> 01:54:33,280 especially after working on the 2676 01:54:36,790 --> 01:54:35,119 department of truth for a while and also 2677 01:54:38,390 --> 01:54:36,800 just being 2678 01:54:40,149 --> 01:54:38,400 you know uh 2679 01:54:42,070 --> 01:54:40,159 like 2680 01:54:44,310 --> 01:54:42,080 it's one of those things where 2681 01:54:46,790 --> 01:54:44,320 when when everyone's like being upfront 2682 01:54:48,830 --> 01:54:46,800 about information there's a little there 2683 01:54:50,870 --> 01:54:48,840 there's a you know it triggers a little 2684 01:54:53,189 --> 01:54:50,880 skepticism and so it's one of those 2685 01:54:54,310 --> 01:54:53,199 things where it's like one thing i like 2686 01:54:57,990 --> 01:54:54,320 about 2687 01:54:59,910 --> 01:54:58,000 uh the the cases from a few decades back 2688 01:55:01,750 --> 01:54:59,920 is that i don't feel like they're 2689 01:55:04,550 --> 01:55:01,760 colored by the 2690 01:55:06,709 --> 01:55:04,560 you know the politics of the day and all 2691 01:55:09,589 --> 01:55:06,719 of that it feels like there's 2692 01:55:12,229 --> 01:55:09,599 you know uh like it feels like there's 2693 01:55:14,229 --> 01:55:12,239 something essential that that uh that's 2694 01:55:16,229 --> 01:55:14,239 being tapped into that especially when 2695 01:55:18,310 --> 01:55:16,239 you look at how like the air force was 2696 01:55:20,070 --> 01:55:18,320 interacting with it it's like it feels 2697 01:55:22,070 --> 01:55:20,080 clear that the air force like just 2698 01:55:24,310 --> 01:55:22,080 didn't understand and it feels like they 2699 01:55:26,229 --> 01:55:24,320 still don't really like understand but 2700 01:55:28,390 --> 01:55:26,239 it's one of those things where it's like 2701 01:55:31,589 --> 01:55:28,400 uh like it made them nervous because 2702 01:55:34,229 --> 01:55:31,599 it's like obviously they don't want uh 2703 01:55:36,629 --> 01:55:34,239 like the one thing that fascinates me is 2704 01:55:38,390 --> 01:55:36,639 the idea that uh you know 2705 01:55:40,790 --> 01:55:38,400 like they were 2706 01:55:42,629 --> 01:55:40,800 uh that the government was really 2707 01:55:43,589 --> 01:55:42,639 uh 2708 01:55:46,870 --> 01:55:43,599 you know 2709 01:55:47,830 --> 01:55:46,880 they were nervous about ufo sightings 2710 01:55:49,030 --> 01:55:47,840 sort of 2711 01:55:50,870 --> 01:55:49,040 spreading around the country for a 2712 01:55:54,149 --> 01:55:50,880 number of reasons but one of them was 2713 01:55:56,390 --> 01:55:54,159 the idea that then if everyone would 2714 01:55:58,149 --> 01:55:56,400 just spot a strange thing in the sky and 2715 01:56:01,430 --> 01:55:58,159 just be like oh isn't that fun we just 2716 01:56:02,390 --> 01:56:01,440 saw a ufo then if all of a sudden the 2717 01:56:04,629 --> 01:56:02,400 you know 2718 01:56:06,950 --> 01:56:04,639 the the russians started coming people 2719 01:56:08,790 --> 01:56:06,960 wouldn't actually like say hey the 2720 01:56:11,430 --> 01:56:08,800 russians are coming they would be like 2721 01:56:12,709 --> 01:56:11,440 oh it's an we just had an encounter and 2722 01:56:14,390 --> 01:56:12,719 it was something 2723 01:56:16,229 --> 01:56:14,400 uh so it's one of those things where 2724 01:56:19,109 --> 01:56:16,239 it's like i like to try to 2725 01:56:22,470 --> 01:56:19,119 piece together the context and it's hard 2726 01:56:24,870 --> 01:56:22,480 to follow the context in 2727 01:56:26,629 --> 01:56:24,880 the present uh like 2728 01:56:28,709 --> 01:56:26,639 you can sort of see the content so it's 2729 01:56:31,589 --> 01:56:28,719 like i'm taking all of the new 2730 01:56:33,430 --> 01:56:31,599 information in and it's all fascinating 2731 01:56:35,189 --> 01:56:33,440 and all of that and i'm very interested 2732 01:56:37,750 --> 01:56:35,199 to see what i think about it like 10 2733 01:56:41,510 --> 01:56:37,760 years from now 2734 01:56:44,629 --> 01:56:41,520 well you know it's one thing to 2735 01:56:47,830 --> 01:56:44,639 be a writer and write about gotham city 2736 01:56:50,390 --> 01:56:47,840 or ufos and an alien invasion and mars 2737 01:56:52,870 --> 01:56:50,400 attacks and then to turn around and see 2738 01:56:54,149 --> 01:56:52,880 tucker carlson on fox news 2739 01:56:57,189 --> 01:56:54,159 talking about it 2740 01:57:00,709 --> 01:56:57,199 it's like it's the comic book 2741 01:57:03,270 --> 01:57:00,719 writing itself suddenly that this is now 2742 01:57:06,310 --> 01:57:03,280 uh where before this would never have 2743 01:57:08,310 --> 01:57:06,320 happened it is a hollywood film but now 2744 01:57:11,750 --> 01:57:08,320 it's come to life do you find yourself 2745 01:57:14,790 --> 01:57:11,760 looking at this uh that way 2746 01:57:16,310 --> 01:57:14,800 yeah no i i i absolutely do and i think 2747 01:57:18,629 --> 01:57:16,320 that it's the 2748 01:57:21,589 --> 01:57:18,639 i mean i think that you know 2749 01:57:25,750 --> 01:57:21,599 life in general just feels so 2750 01:57:26,790 --> 01:57:25,760 absurd on like uh right like i don't 2751 01:57:27,589 --> 01:57:26,800 know it's 2752 01:57:30,790 --> 01:57:27,599 uh 2753 01:57:31,830 --> 01:57:30,800 none of it makes any sense and so i am 2754 01:57:33,830 --> 01:57:31,840 uh 2755 01:57:36,790 --> 01:57:33,840 you know i'm taking it all as it comes 2756 01:57:39,189 --> 01:57:36,800

happening again 2766 01:57:59,350 --> 01:57:55,679 uh where 2767 01:58:01,030 --> 01:57:59,360 people are open to stories uh 2768 01:58:02,390 --> 01:58:01,040 stories like the department of truth and 2769 01:58:05,350 --> 01:58:02,400 like blue book and all of that and 2770 01:58:07,990 --> 01:58:05,360 because those are just so core 2771 01:58:09,910 --> 01:58:08,000 like so core to what fascinates me i am 2772 01:58:12,229 --> 01:58:09,920 very grateful for that because it allows 2773 01:58:14,390 --> 01:58:12,239 me to tell the stories i'm interested in 2774 01:58:17,270 --> 01:58:14,400 telling and know there's an audience for 2775 01:58:19,669 --> 01:58:17,280 them but you know like ultimately it all 2776 01:58:21,669 --> 01:58:19,679 comes in cycles like i'm also very 2777 01:58:24,790 --> 01:58:21,679 grateful for the fact that we're in a a 2778 01:58:26,870 --> 01:58:24,800 very uh a big moment where there's a big 2779 01:58:29,589 --> 01:58:26,880 audience for horror stories but when i 2780 01:58:31,830 --> 01:58:29,599 started in comics like 10 years ago 2781 01:58:34,229 --> 01:58:31,840 horror comics had basically you know 2782 01:58:35,589 --> 01:58:34,239 there was there's the walking dead uh 2783 01:58:37,510 --> 01:58:35,599 but it and then there were like there 2784 01:58:40,470 --> 01:58:37,520 were always one or two but it was just 2785 01:58:42,950 --> 01:58:40,480 like it had sort of fallen away and now 2786 01:58:44,629 --> 01:58:42,960 the biggest comics uh you know the 2787 01:58:46,629 --> 01:58:44,639 biggest comics once again are horror 2788 01:58:47,910 --> 01:58:46,639 comics and thankfully i write a few of 2789 01:58:49,750 --> 01:58:47,920 them now 2790 01:58:52,149 --> 01:58:49,760 michael you've been 2791 01:58:56,550 --> 01:58:52,159 you've been listening to late night 2792 01:58:58,229 --> 01:58:56,560 conspiracy talk radio uh forever 2793 01:58:59,910 --> 01:58:58,239 but did you ever 2794 01:59:01,750 --> 01:58:59,920 imagine 2795 01:59:03,510 --> 01:59:01,760 that everything that you have been 2796 01:59:05,030 --> 01:59:03,520 listening to over the years not only 2797 01:59:05,990 --> 01:59:05,040 coast to coast but fade to black and 2798 01:59:07,910 --> 01:59:06,000 others 2799 01:59:10,310 --> 01:59:07,920 that this would become 2800 01:59:12,310 --> 01:59:10,320 reality did you ever see it right 2801 01:59:13,350 --> 01:59:12,320 because it was our safe little world 2802 01:59:17,109 --> 01:59:13,360 right 2803 01:59:19,589 --> 01:59:17,119 and and now yeah it's it's happening 2804 01:59:21,510 --> 01:59:19,599 it's weird i you know i never thought 2805 01:59:23,589 --> 01:59:21,520 and i guess i thought in a very bipolar 2806 01:59:25,189 --> 01:59:23,599 way either like it wasn't gonna happen 2807 01:59:26,629 --> 01:59:25,199 or aliens were literally gonna land on 2808 01:59:28,950 --> 01:59:26,639 the white house lawn 2809 01:59:31,189 --> 01:59:28,960 and instead it's it's it's it kind of 2810 01:59:32,709 --> 01:59:31,199 just rolls off of our psyche and our 2811 01:59:34,790 --> 01:59:32,719 social 2812 01:59:36,149 --> 01:59:34,800 life now like it's so strange like when 2813 01:59:37,510 --> 01:59:36,159 those videos came out and the first time 2814 01:59:39,990 --> 01:59:37,520 we really had like the department of 2815 01:59:41,510 --> 01:59:40,000 truth or the navy or whoever saying yeah 2816 01:59:43,270 --> 01:59:41,520 this was we've recorded this we don't 2817 01:59:45,109 --> 01:59:43,280 know exactly what it is 2818

02:21:27,830 --> 02:21:24,399 of of all of this 3349 02:21:28,950 --> 02:21:27,840 and it's freaking glass and and ohming 3350 02:21:31,349 --> 02:21:28,960 and and 3351 02:21:34,389 --> 02:21:31,359 it it it was just surreal all of it all 3352 02:21:36,150 --> 02:21:34,399 of it you just can't make this stuff up 3353 02:21:37,670 --> 02:21:36,160 it's a great lesson too you know as far 3354 02:21:39,270 --> 02:21:37,680 as like 3355 02:21:40,469 --> 02:21:39,280 we you know he's come out and told 3356 02:21:41,990 --> 02:21:40,479 people the truth 3357 02:21:43,429 --> 02:21:42,000 but a lot of people just still don't 3358 02:21:45,349 --> 02:21:43,439 want to believe it and we see this 3359 02:21:48,230 --> 02:21:45,359 happen all the time in the ufo community 3360 02:21:49,750 --> 02:21:48,240 where somebody's been caught in some bs 3361 02:21:51,750 --> 02:21:49,760 and somehow they're still telling the 3362 02:21:53,830 --> 02:21:51,760 same story afterwards and like we people 3363 02:21:55,910 --> 02:21:53,840 want to believe so badly sometimes it 3364 02:21:58,630 --> 02:21:55,920 clouds our judgment you know you know 3365 02:21:59,670 --> 02:21:58,640 and this is this is the other thing 3366 02:22:04,389 --> 02:21:59,680 is 3367 02:22:08,230 --> 02:22:04,399 uh both of your careers uh did just fine 3368 02:22:10,469 --> 02:22:08,240 and i got so many emails uh is saying 3369 02:22:13,590 --> 02:22:10,479 the most ridiculous things brian's 3370 02:22:15,670 --> 02:22:13,600 trying to just further his career he's 3371 02:22:18,309 --> 02:22:15,680 trying to market himself i'm like he 3372 02:22:21,429 --> 02:22:18,319 doesn't need to do that he hasn't 3373 02:22:24,469 --> 02:22:21,439 mentioned it all of this time 3374 02:22:25,830 --> 02:22:24,479 there's no ufo uh stuff in any of his 3375 02:22:27,750 --> 02:22:25,840 writing and any of his creator-owned 3376 02:22:29,910 --> 02:22:27,760 stuff anything he's written with me or 3377 02:22:31,910 --> 02:22:29,920 or or on his own none of it has to do 3378 02:22:33,030 --> 02:22:31,920 with this stuff at all so there's that 3379 02:22:34,550 --> 02:22:33,040 you know it doesn't make any sense for 3380 02:22:36,309 --> 02:22:34,560 him to try to profit it doesn't it just 3381 02:22:37,270 --> 02:22:36,319 doesn't work and and no offense to the 3382 02:22:39,110 --> 02:22:37,280 ufo 3383 02:22:41,670 --> 02:22:39,120 audience we most of them aren't reading 3384 02:22:42,550 --> 02:22:41,680 comics so there's just no real crossover 3385 02:22:45,110 -->

02:23:56,720 it into that stuff you know so i want to 3421 02:23:59,910 --> 02:23:58,000 i want to take from the community but i 3422 02:24:01,429 --> 02:23:59,920 also want to represent and get back if 3423 02:24:03,590 --> 02:24:01,439 that makes any sense but it's totally 3424 02:24:05,670 --> 02:24:03,600 influential even to this day it's some 3425 02:24:07,510 --> 02:24:05,680 of the stuff that gets my brain going 3426 02:24:09,990 --> 02:24:07,520 more than anything else and how do you 3427 02:24:11,510 --> 02:24:10,000 do uh how do you how do you work james 3428 02:24:13,429 --> 02:24:11,520 do you listen to 3429 02:24:17,030 --> 02:24:13,439 you know late night talk radio stuff 3430 02:24:18,950 --> 02:24:17,040 like this and and suddenly get inspired 3431 02:24:20,710 --> 02:24:18,960 i mean i think that 3432 02:24:23,990 --> 02:24:20,720 it's one of the things that i'm always 3433 02:24:24,950 --> 02:24:24,000 wildly jealous of uh 3434 02:24:27,349 --> 02:24:24,960 artists 3435 02:24:30,870 --> 02:24:27,359 the ability to like work while listening 3436 02:24:33,910 --> 02:24:30,880 to people like listening to radio or 3437 02:24:35,910 --> 02:24:33,920 podcast or anything like i i like can't 3438 02:24:37,670 --> 02:24:35,920 even do music with lyrics so it's one of 3439 02:24:39,910 --> 02:24:37,680 those things like while i'm working it's 3440 02:24:41,830 --> 02:24:39,920 the i i need to 3441 02:24:44,070 --> 02:24:41,840 you know it's like it's movie 3442 02:24:46,550 --> 02:24:44,080 soundtracks and and and stuff like that 3443 02:24:49,990 --> 02:24:46,560 but it is something that i 3444 02:24:53,190 --> 02:24:50,000 um like i have always had a deep 3445 02:24:57,510 --> 02:24:53,200 fondness uh but it's like 3446 02:24:58,790 --> 02:24:57,520 but uh i i wish i had the on the kind of 3447 02:25:01,270 --> 02:24:58,800 you know 3448 02:25:03,830 --> 02:25:01,280 back and forth relationship with it that 3449 02:25:05,830 --> 02:25:03,840 that michael can talk to uh rather than 3450 02:25:09,510 --> 02:25:05,840 you know this is something that 3451 02:25:11,670 --> 02:25:09,520 i have i have friends who are a bit more 3452 02:25:15,030 --> 02:25:11,680 uh like 3453 02:25:16,950 --> 02:25:15,040 you know in my because 3454 02:25:20,950 --> 02:25:16,960 like i was saying it's like i was you 3455 02:25:24,630 --> 02:25:20,960 know i was really into a lot of this uh 3456 02:25:26,309 --> 02:25:24,640 up and up through uh like high school 3457 02:25:28,389 --> 02:25:26,319 and and then 3458 02:25:31,750 --> 02:25:28,399 once i and then i had some friends who 3459 02:25:35,510 --> 02:25:31,760 stayed much more in invested 3460 02:25:37,429 --> 02:25:35,520 uh while i drifted off into like fiction 3461 02:25:39,990 --> 02:25:37,439 and all of that stuff and then as i've 3462 02:25:44,070 --> 02:25:40,000 come back to it over the last 3463 02:25:46,550 --> 02:25:44,080 uh decade uh and and and all that it has 3464 02:25:49,429 --> 02:25:46,560 been uh it's been really enlightening 3465 02:25:51,990 --> 02:25:49,439 but it's or like and 3466 02:25:54,230 --> 02:25:52,000 and it's just it's such great fuel for 3467 02:25:55,110 --> 02:25:54,240 the imagination because it is something 3468 02:25:59,270 --> 02:25:55,120 like 3469 02:26:02,070 --> 02:25:59,280 sitting back and just taking it all in 3470 02:26:04,710 --> 02:26:02,080 it is there is some like 3471 02:26:07,030 --> 02:26:04,720 you know just 3472 02:26:08,950 --> 02:26:07,040 there's a romance to living in a strange 3473 02:26:11,510 --> 02:26:08,960 world where there aren't a lot of where 3474 02:26:13,349 --> 02:26:11,520 there are a bunch of question marks all 3475 02:26:14,309 --> 02:26:13,359 over the place and i like 3476 02:26:15,990 --> 02:26:14,319 living 3477 02:26:18,710 --> 02:26:16,000 in a strange world that has a lot of 3478 02:26:20,950 --> 02:26:18,720 question marks in it so it is uh 3479 02:26:23,910 --> 02:26:20,960 yeah i i think i i think i get at it a 3480 02:26:24,870 --> 02:26:23,920 bit more through reading and reading uh 3481 02:26:28,150 --> 02:26:24,880 you know 3482 02:26:28,870 --> 02:26:28,160 all sorts of things uh but it is yeah 3483 02:26:32,070 --> 02:26:28,880 that 3484 02:26:35,670 --> 02:26:32,080 like yeah have you have you ever seen 3485 02:26:38,070 --> 02:26:35,680 have you had your own siding 3486 02:26:42,550 --> 02:26:38,080 so i had a 3487 02:26:44,790 --> 02:26:42,560 strange uh not a ufo sighting i had a 3488 02:26:48,389 --> 02:26:44,800 strange encounter in 3489 02:26:50,790 --> 02:26:48,399 uh that i still talk about with my my 3490 02:26:53,510 --> 02:26:50,800 friends who are so 3491 02:26:54,389 --> 02:26:53,520 sophomore year of

3495 02:27:01,910 --> 02:26:59,439 road trip where uh 3496 02:27:03,750 --> 02:27:01,920 you know my my friend and i grew up in 3497 02:27:04,550 --> 02:27:03,760 uh milwaukee wisconsin and we were gonna 3498 02:27:07,110 --> 02:27:04,560 go 3499 02:27:09,990 --> 02:27:07,120 uh you know with one other friend we 3500 02:27:12,309 --> 02:27:10,000 were going to drive from milwaukee to 3501 02:27:14,710 --> 02:27:12,319 los angeles and then spend two weeks 3502 02:27:17,510 --> 02:27:14,720 going los angeles to new york stopping 3503 02:27:19,510 --> 02:27:17,520 all over the place uh but to to start 3504 02:27:20,630 --> 02:27:19,520 that trip we made the decision that we 3505 02:27:24,070 --> 02:27:20,640 were going to do 3506 02:27:26,309 --> 02:27:24,080 the milwaukee to la part in 32 hours 3507 02:27:28,950 --> 02:27:26,319 straight so that we would have the rest 3508 02:27:31,910 --> 02:27:28,960 of the two weeks to do the longer drive 3509 02:27:33,590 --> 02:27:31,920 uh which basically put us even leaving 3510 02:27:35,990 --> 02:27:33,600 like first thing in the morning we were 3511 02:27:38,630 --> 02:27:36,000 driving through the rocky mountains at 3512 02:27:40,950 --> 02:27:38,640 uh like two three in the morning in 3513 02:27:43,190 --> 02:27:40,960 march and so it's like there's still 3514 02:27:45,670 --> 02:27:43,200 snow on the roads and it's you know it 3515 02:27:47,750 --> 02:27:45,680 is our first time ever driving through 3516 02:27:49,270 --> 02:27:47,760 mountains that big and you can't tell 3517 02:27:51,590 --> 02:27:49,280 the difference between the mountains and 3518 02:27:53,190 --> 02:27:51,600 the sky around you and it's like it's 3519 02:27:55,910 --> 02:27:53,200 terrifying and you know and then there 3520 02:27:58,550 --> 02:27:55,920 are trucks like barreling past us uh 3521 02:28:01,110 --> 02:27:58,560 while we're like cautiously 3522 02:28:02,070 --> 02:28:01,120 like uh eeking our way through the roads 3523 02:28:04,150 --> 02:28:02,080 uh but 3524 02:28:06,630 --> 02:28:04,160 we go around 3525 02:28:09,750 --> 02:28:06,640 uh we're going around these bends uh you 3526 02:28:13,349 --> 02:28:09,760 know very carefully in the snow and all 3527 02:28:15,750 --> 02:28:13,359 of a sudden like we come around a bend 3528 02:28:18,389 --> 02:28:15,760 and there is just a thing standing in 3529 02:28:21,110 --> 02:28:18,399 the middle of the road see why 3530 02:28:23,349 --> 02:28:21,120 there is a there's a thing standing in 3531 02:28:24,790 --> 02:28:23,359 the middle of the road it has and it 3532 02:28:26,469 --> 02:28:24,800 looks like it's about 3533 02:28:29,190 --> 02:28:26,479 nine feet tall 3534 02:28:31,429 --> 02:28:29,200 and it has a dog-like head and it's 3535 02:28:33,990 --> 02:28:31,439 wearing something red and it's just 3536 02:28:36,870 --> 02:28:34,000 staring at us and we just both start 3537 02:28:38,830 --> 02:28:36,880 screaming say wait wait wait wait wait 3538 02:28:41,830 --> 02:28:38,840 wait wait wait 3539 02:28:43,429 --> 02:28:41,840 whoa pump the break michael do you do 3540 02:28:45,910 --> 02:28:43,439 you know this story 3541 02:28:48,150 --> 02:28:45,920 yeah he told me about it okay okay all 3542 02:28:49,510 --> 02:28:48,160 right it's got a little skinwalker vibe 3543 02:28:52,550 --> 02:28:49,520 to it yeah okay 3544 02:28:55,110 --> 02:28:52,560 stories okay let me recap here 3545 02:28:57,590 --> 02:28:55,120 rocky mountains middle of the night 3546 02:29:01,349 --> 02:28:57,600 around the corner and standing in the 3547 02:29:02,870 --> 02:29:01,359 middle of the road is a nine foot tall 3548 02:29:04,710 --> 02:29:02,880 thing 3549 02:29:06,870 --> 02:29:04,720 with a dog head 3550 02:29:09,349 --> 02:29:06,880 yeah and so 3551 02:29:12,389 --> 02:29:09,359 we like and thankfully like i'm in the 3552 02:29:15,110 --> 02:29:12,399 passenger seat my friend noah is driving 3553 02:29:17,830 --> 02:29:15,120 uh and noah noah and i we actually wrote 3554 02:29:19,910 --> 02:29:17,840 a comic years ago called ufology which 3555 02:29:22,870 --> 02:29:19,920 is like it's pure fiction but it still 3556 02:29:24,710 --> 02:29:22,880 plays into a lot of this stuff but uh 3557 02:29:27,110 --> 02:29:24,720 noah and i were 3558 02:29:29,190 --> 02:29:27,120 uh like noah was driving and if he had 3559 02:29:31,270 --> 02:29:29,200 swerved to the left we would have gone 3560 02:29:33,349 --> 02:29:31,280 straight off the cliff like but 3561 02:29:35,510 --> 02:29:33,359 thankfully swerve to the right we go 3562 02:29:38,550 --> 02:29:35,520 around this thing and then we're around 3563 02:29:41,270 --> 02:29:38,560 the the curve like as fast as it happens 3564 02:29:43,429 --> 02:29:41,280 and it's like we pull off at the the 3565 02:29:45,510 --> 02:29:43,439 next stop and we're just like you know 3566 02:29:48,309 --> 02:29:45,520 at that point i was still still a smoker 3567 02:29:50,389 --> 02:29:48,319 so we were just like pacing and smoking 3568 02:29:53,190 --> 02:29:50,399 in the like rocky mountain 3569 02:29:55,349 --> 02:29:53,200 like air and just trying to like process 3570 02:29:57,670 --> 02:29:55,359 what we've seen and it's like years 3571 02:29:59,630 --> 02:29:57,680 later someone brought up the uh like the 3572 02:30:01,670 --> 02:29:59,640 most plausible 3573 02:30:03,510 --> 02:30:01,680 explanation for what we could have seen 3574 02:30:05,670 --> 02:30:03,520 which is still not fully plausible as 3575 02:30:08,550 --> 02:30:05,680 the idea is like could have been a horse 3576 02:30:10,070 --> 02:30:08,560 wearing a kind of security blanket uh 3577 02:30:11,910 --> 02:30:10,080 that that may have gotten on the road 3578 02:30:13,349 --> 02:30:11,920 but there wasn't a rider and all that 3579 02:30:15,750 --> 02:30:13,359 and it's like a horse in the middle of 3580 02:30:17,670 --> 02:30:15,760 the road and like three am doesn't quite 3581 02:30:20,469 --> 02:30:17,680 click but that's the closest thing to a 3582 02:30:22,389 --> 02:30:20,479 rat like a more rational explanation so 3583 02:30:24,950 --> 02:30:22,399 it's just like ever since then we've 3584 02:30:26,870 --> 02:30:24,960 talked about the at the time we saw the 3585 02:30:30,469 --> 02:30:26,880 dog god of the mountains 3586 02:30:32,230 --> 02:30:30,479 like and it's uh you know so it's just 3587 02:30:34,469 --> 02:30:32,240 one of those things where it's just like 3588 02:30:36,469 --> 02:30:34,479 that that story has stayed with me and 3589 02:30:38,070 --> 02:30:36,479 the the the thing that stayed with me 3590 02:30:39,190 --> 02:30:38,080 more than anything is even in telling 3591 02:30:41,429 --> 02:30:39,200 the story 3592 02:30:44,230 --> 02:30:41,439 like i think the human brain does 3593 02:30:46,469 --> 02:30:44,240 something when it encounters something 3594 02:30:48,870 --> 02:30:46,479 that it can't categorize 3595 02:30:50,790 --> 02:30:48,880 like and it basically like it sears the 3596 02:30:52,870 --> 02:30:50,800 image into your head in a way that's 3597 02:30:55,190 --> 02:30:52,880 like different than other memories and 3598 02:30:57,590 --> 02:30:55,200 it's just like i don't know like i'm 3599 02:31:00,309 --> 02:30:57,600 talking out out out my butt i i have no 3600 02:31:03,429 --> 02:31:00,319 idea what that means in any way but it's 3601 02:31:05,590 --> 02:31:03,439 just like i can still see what it was 3602 02:31:07,910 --> 02:31:05,600 like see and when i see it i can still 3603 02:31:10,790 --> 02:31:07,920 kind of feel what i felt in that moment 3604 02:31:13,910 --> 02:31:10,800 and it is like and it's a sharper 3605 02:31:14,710 --> 02:31:13,920 image than most of my other memories uh 3606 02:31:16,950 --> 02:31:14,720 right 3607 02:31:17,910 --> 02:31:16,960 so it is something where it's just like 3608 02:31:19,990 --> 02:31:17,920 there's 3609 02:31:21,670 -->

in the car who his experience of 3686 02:34:15,270 --> 02:34:14,319 the whole thing was here's the moment 3687 02:34:17,190 --> 02:34:15,280 where 3688 02:34:19,990 --> 02:34:17,200 you know the 3689 02:34:21,830 --> 02:34:20,000 like me and noah just woke him up from 3690 02:34:23,429 --> 02:34:21,840 napping because he's gonna take over 3691 02:34:25,590 --> 02:34:23,439 driving once we get 3692 02:34:28,230 --> 02:34:25,600 out of the mountains and he just wakes 3693 02:34:29,110 --> 02:34:28,240 up to like us screaming in the front 3694 02:34:31,750 --> 02:34:29,120 seat 3695 02:34:33,270 --> 02:34:31,760 uh and so like i think there he was just 3696 02:34:35,110 --> 02:34:33,280 a little bit more like 3697 02:34:37,510 --> 02:34:35,120 guys you woke me up i have to start 3698 02:34:39,750 --> 02:34:37,520 driving soon we need to get 3699 02:34:41,429 --> 02:34:39,760 like into like i think utah would be 3700 02:34:44,070 --> 02:34:41,439 next so it's just like we got to get out 3701 02:34:46,870 --> 02:34:44,080 of colorado and into utah we just have 3702 02:34:49,429 --> 02:34:46,880 to keep going uh and i think he was like 3703 02:34:51,190 --> 02:34:49,439 more humoring us and he was like he's 3704 02:34:53,429 --> 02:34:51,200 like i think we all have the friend with 3705 02:34:55,110 --> 02:34:53,439 the very dry sense of humor so he was 3706 02:34:57,349 --> 02:34:55,120 kind of like poking fun at us and we 3707 02:34:59,030 --> 02:34:57,359 were poking fun at him uh but it was one 3708 02:34:59,990 --> 02:34:59,040 of those things where we 3709 02:35:02,950 --> 02:35:00,000 like 3710 02:35:05,270 --> 02:35:02,960 you know it did 3711 02:35:07,270 --> 02:35:05,280 you know it so like and then there was 3712 02:35:09,750 --> 02:35:07,280 also just the simple thing where 3713 02:35:12,550 --> 02:35:09,760 uh some of the 3714 02:35:14,070 --> 02:35:12,560 exits on the rockies and i might be 3715 02:35:15,990 --> 02:35:14,080 remembering this incorrectly but it 3716 02:35:17,830 --> 02:35:16,000 seemed this way as we pulled off into 3717 02:35:19,750 --> 02:35:17,840 this like there was nothing open at the 3718 02:35:21,590 --> 02:35:19,760 time but it's like we pulled off on the 3719 02:35:23,349 --> 02:35:21,600 road the only way to pull back onto the 3720 02:35:24,150 --> 02:35:23,359 road was on the same 3721 02:35:26,070 --> 02:35:24,160 uh 3722 02:35:28,550 --> 02:35:26,080 highway path as we were so it's just 3723 02:35:30,389 --> 02:35:28,560 like to double back and head in the 3724 02:35:32,870 --> 02:35:30,399 opposite direction we would have been on 3725 02:35:35,110 --> 02:35:32,880 a another track of road like they were 3726 02:35:37,429 --> 02:35:35,120 kind of staggered oh my gosh side of the 3727 02:35:40,070 --> 02:35:37,439 mountain yeah yeah yeah like like going 3728 02:35:43,030 --> 02:35:40,080 back like we would effectively need to 3729 02:35:45,990 --> 02:35:43,040 you know trace back to a previous exit 3730 02:35:48,150 --> 02:35:46,000 like get try to get back on the road and 3731 02:35:49,190 --> 02:35:48,160 try to repeat the 3732 02:35:51,190 --> 02:35:49,200 um 3733 02:35:53,110 --> 02:35:51,200 you know that leg of the journey and see 3734 02:35:55,429 --> 02:35:53,120 if we saw it again and it's like what's 3735 02:35:58,389 --> 02:35:55,439 the likelihood that whatever was there 3736 02:36:00,630 --> 02:35:58,399 would still be standing there like 25 3737 02:36:03,830 --> 02:36:00,640 minutes later i wouldn't have gone back 3738 02:36:08,389 -->

things 3768 02:37:15,030 --> 02:37:11,840 where 3769 02:37:17,349 --> 02:37:15,040 uh you know both of us have we have both 3770 02:37:19,830 --> 02:37:17,359 always had like i said we wrote a book 3771 02:37:21,110 --> 02:37:19,840 called ufology together we both we both 3772 02:37:24,469 --> 02:37:21,120 we share 3773 02:37:27,349 --> 02:37:24,479 an interest in ufos and then beyond ufos 3774 02:37:29,429 --> 02:37:27,359 also the esoteric and uh you know at 3775 02:37:31,510 --> 02:37:29,439 that point we were still like in high 3776 02:37:35,590 --> 02:37:31,520 school we both went both went through a 3777 02:37:38,230 --> 02:37:35,600 big uh crowley magic with a k phase 3778 02:37:41,270 --> 02:37:38,240 uh and so it's like all of that was real 3779 02:37:43,670 --> 02:37:41,280 uh

3786 02:37:58,309 --> 02:37:56,880 you have this paradigm shift in your own 3787 02:38:00,550 --> 02:37:58,319 belief system 3788 02:38:03,150 --> 02:38:00,560 but when you think about ufos or betty

02:39:18,230 --> 02:39:16,000 they're they're one of those things it's 3819 02:39:19,429 --> 02:39:18,240 one of those things where i have 3820 02:39:21,910 --> 02:39:19,439 like 3821 02:39:25,110 --> 02:39:21,920 you know i had a fascination 3822 02:39:27,270 --> 02:39:25,120 with these stories uh before then and i 3823 02:39:30,469 --> 02:39:27,280 think afterwards i think it's 3824 02:39:34,389 --> 02:39:30,479 i'm always credible of the stories 3825 02:39:35,590 --> 02:39:34,399 themselves and i think that where 3826 02:39:42,870 --> 02:39:35,600 i 3827 02:39:45,349 --> 02:39:42,880 that they found an answer 3828 02:39:47,670 --> 02:39:45,359 because it is one of those things where 3829 02:39:49,190 --> 02:39:47,680 i think you know all of this and it's 3830 02:39:51,349 --> 02:39:49,200 you know with like i 3831 02:39:53,429 --> 02:39:51,359 in dabbling in in all of this and 3832 02:39:56,790 --> 02:39:53,439 especially in working on department of 3833 02:39:58,630 --> 02:39:56,800 truth and like you know i'm like reading 3834 02:40:01,590 --> 02:39:58,640 through some john keel and stuff like 3835 02:40:04,070 --> 02:40:01,600 that it's just like the idea of 3836 02:40:06,550 --> 02:40:04,080 that all of these strange encounters 3837 02:40:10,389 --> 02:40:06,560 have all of these commonalities 3838 02:40:14,070 --> 02:40:10,399 uh that uh that feel like it's all it's 3839 02:40:17,030 --> 02:40:14,080 us brushing up against something unknown 3840 02:40:20,150 --> 02:40:17,040 that we don't have like in our you know 3841 02:40:22,950 --> 02:40:20,160 imperfect brains and our imperfect like 3842 02:40:25,269 --> 02:40:22,960 eyes and imperfect ears we don't have 3843 02:40:28,070 --> 02:40:25,279 the tools to process what we are 3844 02:40:30,230 --> 02:40:28,080 brushing up against and i do believe 3845 02:40:31,830 --> 02:40:30,240 that people have encounters with things 3846 02:40:34,790 --> 02:40:31,840 that they cannot 3847 02:40:36,469 --> 02:40:34,800 that don't categorize that fall outside 3848 02:40:39,429 --> 02:40:36,479 the order of things and so it is 3849 02:40:41,030 --> 02:40:39,439 something where i find and this is like 3850 02:40:43,190 --> 02:40:41,040 the this has always been my guiding 3851 02:40:45,030 --> 02:40:43,200 light and wanting to write about these 3852 02:40:47,269 --> 02:40:45,040 stories because i'll

02:40:52,960 it didn't work in in fiction because its 3856 02:40:58,870 --> 02:40:55,920 power is the because in fiction i tried 3857 02:41:01,910 --> 02:40:58,880 to create an answer to what it was sure 3858 02:41:04,630 --> 02:41:01,920 but it was just like you know but in 3859 02:41:07,030 --> 02:41:04,640 like in the telling it is about brushing 3860 02:41:09,110 --> 02:41:07,040 up a gun against something like it is 3861 02:41:11,670 --> 02:41:09,120 that unknown quality and it is the 3862 02:41:13,349 --> 02:41:11,680 importance of the 3863 02:41:16,230 --> 02:41:13,359 you know 3864

try new things that's 4284 02:57:15,990 --> 02:57:12,560 the thing that is most exciting about 4285 02:57:18,550 --> 02:57:16,000 blue book i've never adapted uh 4286 02:57:21,510 --> 02:57:18,560 material from like from real life life 4287 02:57:24,150 --> 02:57:21,520 in this way before and it is uh 4288 02:57:27,349 --> 02:57:24,160 it's teaching me things about 4289 02:57:30,070 --> 02:57:27,359 like because every every decision is 4290 02:57:31,349 --> 02:57:30,080 like is deliberate in a way that like 4291 02:57:33,990 --> 02:57:31,359 you know sometimes when you're writing 4292 02:57:36,230 --> 02:57:34,000 fiction it can be a little more uh 4293 02:57:38,309 --> 02:57:36,240 you know a stream of consciousness you 4294 02:57:40,150 --> 02:57:38,319 can kind of just you

little bit but it's just like when 4298 02:57:48,389 --> 02:57:45,680 you're adapting something every decision 4299 02:57:51,429 --> 02:57:48,399 is deliberate and you know the and i 4300 02:57:54,630 --> 02:57:51,439 think like as you grow as an artist or a 4301 02:57:57,429 --> 02:57:54,640 writer you start realizing like you know 4302 02:58:01,510 --> 02:57:57,439 what art is is making a bunch of like 4303 02:58:04,389 --> 02:58:01,520 uh considered decisions in order uh and 4304 02:58:06,950 --> 02:58:04,399 uh you know it's like it 4305 02:58:07,830 --> 02:58:06,960 i don't know i like it
