All right. We are live. What is up, guys? Welcome to Real Talk with the Green Feathers. My name is Nick, aka the Green Feathers. And with me tonight is the one and only Jay Dyer. Thank you so much for coming on. Brother. How are you doing tonight?

I'm doing great, man. Thanks for having me glad to be here.

It's good to finally talk to you in person and put a face to the beautiful sweet diva voice you have.

Appreciate that a lot.

I've watched your other interviews with Wickhoff and people, so this is not my first time hearing you.

St. Your first rodeo. this is not my first time hearing you saying it your first rodeo it's not my first well uh I'm a long time supporter a long time subscriber and uh all the

content you've been putting out over the list I think I've been following you for like a year

and a half but all the content you've been putting out, very, very

educational and helpful for all of us during this time.

Thanks, dude.

Appreciate that.

And my apologies to everyone.

I'm getting over a cold right now, so I'd love for Jay to do most of the talking tonight.

But I just wanted to start off by asking you kind of a random question.

I know that Jamie's done some work writing about some of the deeper analysis

of some of the symbolism in Disney.

Have you guys watched any of Miyazaki's movies?

I have seen like Howells Moving Castle, Spirited Away,

some of the kind of more well-known ones,

and maybe a couple of the lesser known ones.

And just going from memory, I remember them having some, I guess, kind of quasi-pagan

themes and kind of animistic nature, spirit, nature, religion types of themes.
