Happy 100th episode to SPRT! It’s hard to believe we are at this milestone. This week Erica Conroy will interview us, random guests will stop in, and chaos will ensue. Most importantly, this week is a thank you show to our viewers and listeners that have stuck with us. We appreciate all of you and hope you will continue to show up each week and follow the discussion of the self-publishing industry. Every Thursday is SPRT day! See you tomorrow at 7 PST/10 EST.
Wade
So I’m going to be interviewing this troublesome trio. If you have any questions you want me to ask them then post them here and I’ll see if I can include them. Any kind of questions from their favourite author to what they most hate about publishing/writing.
All the best guys. I wont be there for personal reasons but I hope it goes well.
BatmanErica How much do they love me?
BatmanErica How often while writing do they hate themselves and everyone else?
BatmanErica How many times have they wrote under the influence of JOOSE?
BatmanErica What do they wear when they write?
BatmanErica What is the most important lesson they have learned during the life of the show?
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) can’t believe I didn’t know who you were until I saw this one 😛
BatmanErica JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) I’ve been gone THAT long!?!?!?!?!?!
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) you have become more myth than man…
BatmanErica JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) NOT ANYMORE
Tee minus 23 mins folks! See you soon!
What color are Michelle Read’a panties
MrJohnRead you would be a rather bad husband if you didn’t already know the answer to that question….wait is she even wearing any?
BatmanErica MrJohnRead That is also an important question, however I’m not in town to check…
MrJohnRead BatmanErica At first I was like, who the…and then I was like OH it’s John. Hey John! 🙂

“So Much To Say” New drinking game is overtime I find Dave lyrics in conversation.
I love expressing the little bits
michelleread I can play that one, too. (both the song and the game.)
MrJohnRead bahahahahaha….also true
matmorrisauthor ZachBohannon To toot my own horn, I’m about to approve my 2nd audiobook. Ok, back to shenanigans
matmorrisauthor michelleread I’ll believe it when I hear it in my messages. (Pretty sure you’ve already sent it but another one won’t ever hurt!)
Also every time I heard something I can say “That’s what she said” to. Because I’m in a mood tonight and super tired.
michelleread You’re gonna get wasted!
Who is wearing pants tonight?
writerwade What is pants?
writerwade NO
CateMorgan michelleread matmorrisauthor MrJohnRead Oh thank God for you <3 *Takes it and runs away to the couch and covers up
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) michelleread YESSIR…..tis a celebration!
MrJohnRead writerwade I don’t pants. I outline :p
Not me, Shorts
michelleread JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) Don’t worry, I got you
writerwade Why do you think my camera’s off. You don’t spend all day at the hospital (or hospital as Erica and Carl call it) and want to wear pants when you get home)
ReneeKelley You must not be in “winter time” Where are you from? (Obviously don’t have to answer that but we like to collec–I mean we’re always curious)
michelleread JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) CHARLIE MURPHY!
Already at 101 comments
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) michelleread Fist bump your way
Hello everyone
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY)

JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) it’s cause I’m here 😛
David Anson Hi David!
writerwade Wait. Since when is pants a requirement? o.O
Cheers…
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) YEAH we are! That’s because you’re here.
matmorrisauthor #win
CateMorgan writerwade It isn’t, it’s just Wade’s curiosity getting to him.
I need to set my Scrivener to that.
I’m secretly here for ZachBohannon he just doesn’t know
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) ZachBohannon *blushing*
michelleread ReneeKelley Georgia!
We southerners don’t do the maths
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) wut
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) Where you from?
matmorrisauthor JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) huh
ZachBohannon JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) Texas born and raised
What Wade said…
Wait, we have a deal?
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) ZachBohannon Nice. I’m a native Texan. But now I hang my hat in Tennessee.
Bang it out fast…
that what she said
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) We Northerners are no better…
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) ZachBohannon Irving born, Tulsa raised
I’ve been telling you to write books for a while and you won’t do it…
Its hard to do it for yourself.
MrJohnRead JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) ZachBohannon Born in Wichita Falls and raised in DFW
ReneeKelley I do it for myself all the time….
MrJohnRead JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) ZachBohannon I lived in Tulsa for 5 years :). From 3rd grade to 7th. Union baby!
ReneeKelley Ohhhh, wait…
matmorrisauthor ReneeKelley You crazy, Mat…lol
matmorrisauthor ReneeKelley Maybe you should try dating again so you don’t have to 😉
BOOOOBS!
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) MrJohnRead ZachBohannon Born in Corsicana, spent most my time in Abilene and Arlington. Then I moved to Tulsa. Then I moved to Columba, SC. Then I moved to Jackson, MS. Then I moved to Nashville, lol.
Lol, Michelle you’re a mess, girl
matmorrisauthor ReneeKelley or do you?
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) Bewbs
Rachelle Meide, inc…
ZachBohannon JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) MrJohnRead I’ve been outside of texas a handful of times. LOL
If a vampire book changed my life, I’d find a new life
ZachBohannon THIS
What kind of mess?
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) A funny happy mess!
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) ZachBohannon Funny enough, I AM about to write a vampire novella… but it’s old school “Salem’s Lot” type vampires
ZachBohannon A zombie book can change your life but not a vampire one? So racist…
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) I don’t want to know.
Michelle you need to write comedy.
matmorrisauthor ZachBohannon The only reason a zombie novel is changing my life is because of my bank account #smuglife
ZachBohannon JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) Fuck yeah. Old vamps seem good. Vampires are missed opportunity by the more literary side of horror. So much opportunity for that kind of a condemned outcast
ZachBohannon matmorrisauthor Vampires can do that, too.
A lucid rough drafft with visible sounds and marmalade trees…
Pot! I can’t image X
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) ZachBohannon Go read “Storberry” by Dan Padavona, He’s an amazing and underrated indie author. It’s a BAD ASS vampire novel.
I never drink
ReneeKelley Hahaha well….if you want a mildly dorky story about basically myself, then I DID write that.
YESSS XAVIER….
michelleread ReneeKelley LOL
ReneeKelley JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) How have I never met you before? HAHA
I’m gonna do all these whippetts
My alcoholism is a myth…
ZachBohannon JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) NOTED
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) ZachBohannon Also, his dad was Ronnie James Dio 🙂
PICS OR IT DIDN’T HAPPEN
You didn’t sound happy about that Wade…lol
GET MAT ON!!! MAT MAT MAT MAT MAT MAT MAT
More….
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) If the gloves don’t fit, you acquit
On the podcast…
ZachBohannon working on it
You guys just tease that you said you’re gonna invite him on. I need to see the pirate.
We are encouraged to teach and drink
You cleaned that up, didn’t you X.
It helps learn why America is America and Texas is Texas
Where are the tissues, X?
Really nice. I love it.
ReneeKelley He didn’t! I think it always looks like that.
He only plays Final Countdown on keyboard
10 points – Xavier
ZachBohannon It’s all a lie.
MrJohnRead The house cup is ours!
matmorrisauthor ZachBohannon Working on it boys. Be patient. Have another drink and keep your pants on.
michelleread matmorrisauthor ZachBohannon You’re asking too much.
MrJohnRead AAAAhahaha how did I miss this quote?!
Canadian internet…
MrJohnRead So great.
matmorrisauthor michelleread ZachBohannon Well, I figured I’d only get two out of three so I’m giving you options.
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) That ONE cable. Sometimes it glitches.
Neighbor dialed in
michelleread JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) cable? I thought they were still on modems.
This is where the magic happens
ZachBohannon Dust or drugs?
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) You know Europe was so bad that they opened and closed their sets with that song?
ZachBohannon I don’t have a picture of my bed to post under this
ZachBohannon Nice!!!
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) ZachBohannon so much dust
Wade you need something bigger.
ZachBohannon JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) They only played one song?
ReneeKelley Women, always about size with you lot!
ReneeKelley It’s how you use it.
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) ReneeKelley Can’t help it. That’s how we roll!
michelleread ReneeKelley As a weapon, preferably.
michelleread ReneeKelley Definitely, Michelle
matmorrisauthor michelleread ReneeKelley Yikes.
Michelle. Sean. Same thing.
I need to take an updated pic, I have a newer (nicer) mixing board, now.
Mmmm gutter maintenance .. Playboy article?
ReneeKelley No it’s the only place I organize haha.
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) Title of my autobiography
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) So close.
matmorrisauthor Such a great space.
DRUGS!
BEST PHONE EVER!!!
writerwade can you just serialize the gutter maintenance article?
My workspace
MrJohnRead Yeahhhhhh! There it is.
I ran and grabbed my lightsabers… true story.
MrJohnRead That’s sexy and also highly boring.
matmorrisauthor That’s….so…..gross. I guess you guys are…close?
MrJohnRead I thought you were talking about something else when you said you lay a lot of pipe.
MrJohnRead Sweet tubes bro.
matmorrisauthor Oh! I thought it said I grabbed my neighbors lightsabers!
matmorrisauthor Everyone should have a light saber… and a portal gun….
I mostly have swords and daggers.
And what it looks like now
crissymoss matmorrisauthor and cake…
crissymoss matmorrisauthor I just have a life-size Chewbacca
BatmanErica crissymoss matmorrisauthor the cake is a LIE!
MrJohnRead WHERE DID ALL MY TUBES GO?!
MrJohnRead o.O That’s why they pay him the special dollars.
Had to change my name. Didn’t want my kind of work being accessible to students and parents…. XD
michelleread MrJohnRead Damn straight baby
Teachers get fired for that though. Scary.
The only way I’d use a pen name would be if my last name sounded like Asslogger
ZachBohannon I just laughed really hard.
SEXY TIME WRITING. Translation: Dittle Books
matmorrisauthor ZachBohannon 😉 love you
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) dittle?
I thought I was the only one who did that!!!!
BatmanErica JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) DITTLE

Congrats on 100 episodes. Woohoo! Bring on the girls!
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) Oh boy…

Get Mgon on there!
Mat stole that answer from me..lol
ReneeKelley Get Renee on too
matmorrisauthor ZachBohannon ahaha! Mat’s personal, red sword. Pointed right at Zach’s face. YOU’RE classy Mat, I learn from the best.
ZachBohannon RChazzChute I’m loving the dog the bounty hunter part
We need to get Trish and Bill and those other hosers here tonight. A lot if hosts on this show, come to think about it
FUN FACT: I staged that picture as what it usually looks like. If Xavier will be so kind as to post the picture of what it ACTUALLY looked like. Because I cleaned the house before leaving for the hospital today because I like coming home to a clean house.
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) Trish was busy unfortunately, as was Dave. Bill is the Great White Buffalo.
Love you all. Have a good night. Congrats on 100 shows.

matmorrisauthor ReneeKelley What’s up!!!
Mat is sexeh
ReneeKelley matmorrisauthor WHAT’S UP?!!?
I feel like Michelle will be rich one day.
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) I hate to ask why – it’s because of my amazing organizational skills isn’t it.
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) And my inability to free myself from the bathroom handcuffs of my own accord.
michelleread JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) I JUST FEEL IT IN THE AIR
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) That’s what the post-it note I have taped to the mirror says.
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) michelleread Nope. I don’t like that.
michelleread JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) It’s because you already look and sound like you’re somebody 😉
Mgon michelleread JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) Richelle Mead? Amazing vampire author who changes lives?
Mgon michelleread JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) And I have always heard you trying new things. Always. One day things will click
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) Mgon michelleread Jay I love you. Also Mgon as well. Made my whole evening. And yes – dangit. Surely it will!

PatrickSzabo the struggle is real

ReneeKelley everyone flashed
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) PatrickSzabo Oh, indeed.
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) PatrickSzabo SANDWICH.

Geese… It’s about size with matmorrisauthor too!?!?!
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) Caffeine is fvcking magic! 😀
ReneeKelley I usually don’t go till bed till 1am, so I get it.

I’ll be in my bunk.
ReneeKelley I used to write at night, but now I have to write during the day, and find I can’t at night any more.
ReneeKelley Shoot!

JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) xgranville PatrickSzabo Buffalo chicken breast, cheese, and mayo on white.

michelleread PatrickSzabo I say it way too much.
ReneeKelley That’s what I was thinking. I’m proud of it! I did a thing!
ReneeKelley Yeahhhhh, it’s lovely. Pretty Kiwi accent.
And that’s why I’m glad my first book died in a computer crash.
BatmanErica JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) Shiny!
crissymoss Ahhh boooooooooo…….
crissymoss It must have been so hard to get going after that!
michelleread BatmanErica JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) Could be the Bourbon…but huh? HAHAHA
michelleread crissymoss noo… it was bad. No one would want to read it.
michelleread crissymoss Incredibly. I cried for a week. But in the end it was a good thing.
Mgon CateMorgan It takes until Thursday evening for Cate to bring me tea – that’s when I can write.
crissymoss michelleread That’s fair, but still. Losing material feels like such a hit.
crissymoss michelleread OBVIOUSLY you recovered nicely!
michelleread Mgon Well, I do have a day job as well as this whole letters-putting-together gig, so Thursday night is generally the only time I can MAKE tea…
writerwade it’s summer. GET IT DONE
JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) writerwade Right?! Everyone text Wade every day.
michelleread JJ OZZY (AKA JAY) writerwade I’m killing all the work that got put back this summer.
That’s great Wade. I skimped on to much with my first book and it showed.
CateMorgan michelleread Mgon 🙂
I carve my novels in my arms as punishment when I don’t write in a day
What’s your show Mat?
ReneeKelley author strong podcast
ReneeKelley Hmm?
crissymoss ReneeKelley Can someone link it properly?
