Well, i wanted to 6 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 1: share with you that I've been sharing stories for a 7 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: little over a year and a half. And I'm a dad. 8 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,720 Speaker 1: I have three little boys and and my wife, her 9 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: name is Miss Jocelyn, and we live in South Carolina, 10 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: just outside of Charlotte, North Carolina, in the United States 11 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: of America. And I know we have friends listening all 12 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 1: around the world and that is super duper fun. I 13 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: love sharing joy and happiness and learning how to be imaginative. 14 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 1: A little bit about me. I grew up listening to 15 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,720 Speaker 1: the radio. Yes I know that is a very long 16 00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:12,479 Speaker 1: time ago, the radio with audio stories from different creators 17 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: and there would be sound effects and different voices all 18 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: telling a very fun story. And so when my kids 19 00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 1: were little, I started telling them bedtime stories. Do your 20 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: parents like to tell you bedtime stories? Yeah? Bedtime stories 21 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 1: are super fun. And so how this all started. Me 22 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: and my boys. Their names are Miles and Malachi and Derek. 23 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 1: We would come up with adventures together where we would say, 24 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: all right, who's the bad guy gonna be? And that 25 00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: is where Dr Stinky Breath came from, by the way, 26 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: But we would come up with a bad guy and 27 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 1: come up with maybe a problem and the characters in 28 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,320 Speaker 1: the story and how we're going to solve the problem 29 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: and all those amazing important details.

One we 43 00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: need what do we need? We need? A scene. A 44 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: scene is where you know, it might be your bedroom, 45 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: or it might be your backyard. It's the place where 46 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: the store he happens. And then we also need some characters, 47 00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: and that might might be me and you, or it 48 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: might be a fox and a wolf or um whatever 49 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: character that you think. And then we also need a problem. 50 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes this is a mystery of something missing or or yeah, 51 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: maybe there's a bad guy. And then lastly, we need 52 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: a resolution. We need a solution to this problem. Maybe 53 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 1: that means we found what was missing, or we stopped 54 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: the bad guy from doing what they were doing. And 55 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 1: so that's how we started building stories. Me and my boys, 56 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: um had so much fun every night, and then one 57 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: day there Mommy said, hey, Mr Jim, we should start 58 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: recording these stories because it would be super helpful if 59 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,000 Speaker 1: we could listen to these while we're driving or you know. 60 00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes I, Mr Jim traveled for work and so I 61 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: wasn't able to tell the bedtime stories every night, and 62 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 1: so I started recording them for my family. And then 63 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:08,440 Speaker 1: do you know what happened, Something amazing happened. Somehow these 64 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: stories started spreading around the world and that's where you 65 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: guys started hearing them. And I don't know if you 66 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 1: have heard one of the earlier stories of River and 67 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: the Disappearing Shoe or the one do you remember the 68 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: one where the squirrels, uh, we're hiding their acorn nuts 69 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: under an X and the pirates came and then something 70 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,480 Speaker 1: crazy happened, I think with a tiger or something. Yeah, well, 71 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: those stories started traveling around the world, and now I 72 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: get to turn your ideas into awesome adventures. And so 73 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: there's there's a lot of ideas and some missions that 74 00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: come in through the website a lot, a lot, a lot. 75 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,640 Speaker 1: So it sometimes I'm not able to do all of them, 76 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 1: and it's gonna take a long time for me to 77 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,280 Speaker 1: be able to work through them all. But don't worry, 78 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: the stories are still coming every day. But I wanted 79 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,839 Speaker 1: to share something really special with you guys, because I'm 80 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: starting to see that, um, you guys love being a 81 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,359 Speaker 1: part of the Spy Kid team and love hearing stories 82 00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: from me.
