Guys go in, you get set up, absolutely nobody's rushed, and then afterwards you go out on the deck where there's a plunge pool, there's a water feature, so you hear water moving, you're overlooking the ocean, the sun's out, that's where you take your notes, and you do that as well, and nobody's rushed.

Otherworld
Episode 154: Down the Silver Strand Pt. 2

I go upstairs and wait for a while.

Otherworld
Episode 153: Down the Silver Strand Pt. 1

You don't feel like you're holding a bullet.

Otherworld
Episode 154: Down the Silver Strand Pt. 2

Otherworld
Episode 153: Down the Silver Strand Pt. 1

There's heft to it.

Otherworld

Episode 154: Down the Silver Strand Pt. 2
