I worked with Brian years later on 0:16:11.640 --> 0:16:15.120 it on a series I did called Resurrection Boulevard. He did. 0:16:16.120 --> 0:16:18.040 I think it was second or third season.

Come on, I 0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:29.920 know plenty of time that happened, that something we can 0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:30.400 do together. 0:16:42.520 --> 0:16:45.360 You are so talented. You have a podcast to tell 0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:45.880 us about it. 0:16:45.880 --> 0:16:46.160 I do. 0:16:46.600 --> 0:16:49.040 Yeah, it's called the Marathon Nichols Podcast, mainly so that 0:16:49.080 --> 0:16:55.040 people could find it, you know, but it's it's gonna 0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:56.720 this is gonna take a dark turn, so I'll try 0:16:56.720 --> 0:17:00.240 and keep it as light as possible. But I have 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:02.960 been working in the field of human trafficking since I 0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:05.120 mean for over decade now, and I have my own 0:17:05.160 --> 0:17:08.240 nonprofit called Foundation for Slavery Free World. 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:09.679 And I ended up. 0:17:09.560 --> 0:17:15.080 Through relationships, relationships, relationships, going undercover and using my acting 0:17:15.080 --> 0:17:18.480 skills over the last decade in different states, in different 0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:23.399 countries around the world. To help put bad guys away 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.280 and help get women and children out. 0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:29.040 And so I formed a podcast, Thanks, and. 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.800 I formed a podcast to help get the word out 0:17:32.480 --> 0:17:35.040 and invite invited like not only all the guys that 0:17:35.040 --> 0:17:37.800 I've gone under cover with and different ones, but also 0:17:37.960 --> 0:17:41.639 different law enforcement, different actors in the field, actors in 0:17:41.680 --> 0:17:43.760 a different definition of the work actor. 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:45.400 We've had the head of. 0:17:45.320 --> 0:17:48.639 Meta on like literally Antikenny Davis, who does all the 0:17:48.680 --> 0:17:52.399 global safety for Facebook and Instagram and all that she's 0:17:52.440 --> 0:17:54.800 been on. And the whole idea is because I had 0:17:54.840 --> 0:17:59.080 this audience of essentially teenagers and women because of Riverdale, 0:17:59.160 --> 0:18:02.119 to go spread the word like, Hey, these are the 0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:04.080 things you need to look out for. This is what's 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:06.200 going on in your own backyard. This is what the 0:18:06.240 --> 0:18:08.760 bad guys look like, this is the tools that they use. 0:18:09.280 --> 0:18:12.160 This is how you can protect yourself, your friends, your family. 0:18:12.960 --> 0:18:15.879 And that's essentially what the podcast is. It's all of 0:18:15.920 --> 0:18:20.399 those subjects that are essentially encompassing women and children, Like 0:18:20.440 --> 0:18:23.560 I also have women on there, like a wonderful woman 0:18:23.560 --> 0:18:26.920 who has an organization for. 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:27.919 Foster care kids. 0:18:28.440 --> 0:18:30.119 And so if you think about foster care kids, a 0:18:30.200 --> 0:18:32.320 kid goes into foster care and then they get used 0:18:32.359 --> 0:18:34.679 to the family and they're so happy. And then the 0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:36.679 mom or dad gets out of jail or whatever the 0:18:36.680 --> 0:18:40.400 situation is. Sometimes it's not so fine, and they say 0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.479 they want the kid back, and the kid may not 0:18:42.520 --> 0:18:44.400 want to go or the kid wants to go back. 0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.080 But so she formed an organization that has lawyers just 0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:51.280 for the children, pro bono, just for the law speak 0:18:51.320 --> 0:18:52.520 for the kids and help them in court. 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:53.680 And so we also have. 0:18:53.600 --> 0:18:57.800 Stories like that, but it's just it's that whole subject. 0:18:57.920 --> 0:18:59.119 So that's my podcast. 0:18:59.280 --> 0:19:03.840 It's fascinat that world that you're talking about, and I'm 0:19:03.880 --> 0:19:07.040 so intrigued. I want to know more about your undercover experiences. 0:19:07.760 --> 0:19:09.960 I've got to listen to your podcast now for sure. 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:14.840 And speaking of your undercover experiences, correct me if I'm wrong, please, 0:19:15.840 --> 0:19:18.800 are you developing a scripted show? 0:19:19.680 --> 0:19:20.000
