00:00:02.810 --> 00:00:05.589
Hold on. Hold on. I'm used to being on the
2
00:00:05.669 --> 00:00:06.320
other side.
3
00:00:06.339 --> 00:00:13.000
What the fuck? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hold on. Where's it at?
4
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:15.960
Where's it at? Where's it at, bro? Hold on. Hold on.
5
00:00:16.559 --> 00:00:17.500
In stream. Oh, wait.
6
00:00:17.609 --> 00:00:19.489
Are we live? I think we are live.
7
00:00:19.589 --> 00:00:20.109
Are we live?
8
00:00:20.190 --> 00:00:23.510
It says in stream. Yeah, we're good? I don't know.
9
00:00:23.530 --> 00:00:26.609
I am so not used to this. Now you're sideways.
10
00:00:26.969 --> 00:00:27.649
Now you're vertical.
11
00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:30.960
I've been vertical the whole time. Do you want me
12
00:00:30.980 --> 00:00:31.800
to be horizontal?
13
00:00:32.820 --> 00:00:35.259
I think so because it just made you this way.
14
00:00:36.659 --> 00:00:38.640
Let me see. My camera didn't flip.

while I'm
42
00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:08.939
doing the interview. You already know this. Okay, baby girl. No,
43
00:02:09.069 --> 00:02:12.060
I'm doing an interview. I'm literally doing an interview right now.
44
00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:12.639
We're live.
45
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:14.159
It's okay.
46
00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:16.979
I was just checking my order for delivery. It's not
47
00:02:17.020 --> 00:02:21.289
a big deal. Nothing to be stressed about. Aaron, no.
48
00:02:21.509 --> 00:02:22.819
Look on your iPad.
49
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.780
Okay, plug it up.
50
00:02:25.039 --> 00:02:27.879
Plug it up over there. These children, literally, until I
51
00:02:27.900 --> 00:02:30.580
hit record, you didn't see her. You did not see her.
52
00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:31.860
Until I hit record, bam.
53
00:02:31.939 --> 00:02:34.719
That was part of life. It just is what it is.
54
00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.310
I had three daughters, bro. You know what I mean? Yeah.
55
00:02:37.469 --> 00:02:40.349
No, I got you. I got you. So let's dive
56
00:02:40.430 --> 00:02:44.069
into it, Mike. You know, over the last, I mean,
57
00:02:44.909 --> 00:02:48.770
probably the last four to five years, your career has
58
00:02:49.569 --> 00:02:52.009
taken the high road, if I'm not mistaken.
59
00:02:52.090 --> 00:02:56.610
Yeah. Well, I mean, five years ago, I went viral
60
00:02:56.650 --> 00:02:58.960
and started working YouTube. I got my own pilot playing
61
00:02:59.000 --> 00:03:01.689
a bounty hunter. And I was already doing pretty good.
62
00:03:01.729 --> 00:03:04.469
I'd just gotten back from Armenia in 2019 doing a
63
00:03:04.590 --> 00:03:09.599
TV show called Death Squad. Five mercenaries flying into Armenia
64
00:03:09.639 --> 00:03:14.900
to an offline biological Russian laboratory. We find zombies. It
65
00:03:14.939 --> 00:03:18.139
was a soap opera, but who fucking cares? It was
66
00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:21.240
a zombie. And I got to meet Mike Markoff. I
67
00:03:21.259 --> 00:03:24.280
did eight movies with him after that. But really was
68
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:27.840
YouTube changed the parameter for me where I started doing
69
00:03:27.900 --> 00:03:31.310
children's content. And it's billions of views, not millions.
70
00:03:32.050 --> 00:03:32.830
Oh, billions. My bad.
71
00:03:32.849 --> 00:03:36.310
It's literally the Stokes twins. Just one of their videos,
72
00:03:36.389 --> 00:03:38.750
we did 240 million views on 30 minutes.
73
00:03:39.659 --> 00:03:40.000
Holy shit.
74
00:03:40.009 --> 00:03:43.219
And that was in a six-month period, literally bigger than
75
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.300
the Super Bowl. Super Bowl gets 120 million.
76
00:03:46.819 --> 00:03:51.000
And they paid $ 2 per viewer. I, that, that, so
77
00:03:51.699 --> 00:03:54.740
if you don't mind me asking on here, um, when
78
00:03:54.780 --> 00:03:58.719
you did those that, uh, with the YouTube channel, with the,
79
00:03:58.800 --> 00:04:00.900
with the Stokes brothers did, uh, I.
80
00:04:00.860 --> 00:04:03.680
Still work on all of them. I work on, it's not, I,
81
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:06.050
I still work with them. I was just, I worked
82
00:04:06.069 --> 00:04:08.189
full time on YouTube. Wow.
83
00:04:08.650 --> 00:04:12.729
Okay. So do you get paid, uh, your day rates?
84
00:04:13.189 --> 00:04:14.909
I don't, I get paid a day rate and I
85
00:04:14.930 --> 00:04:17.540
get to say my fucking name. Awesome.
86
00:04:17.639 --> 00:04:18.300
And you don't get.
87
00:04:19.019 --> 00:04:23.509
And until last year, I couldn't be a heel. A heel?
88
00:04:23.550 --> 00:04:24.170
What's that mean?
89
00:04:24.189 --> 00:04:27.170
A bad guy. So what all the kids like me
90
00:04:27.230 --> 00:04:30.529
is for four years, I controlled never being a bad
91
00:04:30.569 --> 00:04:32.870
guy because that was cheap and easy. I got to
92
00:04:32.970 --> 00:04:36.920
portray police officers lazy, dumb, and I would have to
93
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:42.100
come save their asses. And it's across hundreds and hundreds
94
00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:44.800
of millions and some billions of views.
95
00:04:45.670 --> 00:04:48.290
Now, do you get any residuals from that? Do you
96
00:04:48.310 --> 00:04:50.449
get any residuals? Do you get residuals?
97
00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:51.519
No, sir.
98
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:52.199
What?
99
00:04:52.939 --> 00:04:54.720
No, but here's the thing. If you do a non...
100
00:04:54.740 --> 00:04:58.279
So I did a movie called Amityville Uprising. It did incredible.
101
00:04:58.439 --> 00:05:00.500
I didn't get a residual from that at all. I
102
00:05:00.540 --> 00:05:04.160
only got paid $ 150 a day on that movie.
103
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:06.959
$ 150?
104
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.560
Well, YouTube pays me four times that.
105
00:05:08.139 --> 00:05:10.970
Yeah, I believe so. I believe so.
106
00:05:11.250 --> 00:05:16.329
So what happened is when I went viral in 2020...
107
00:05:16.329 --> 00:05:20.319
They gave me an outlet to create a character that
108
00:05:20.339 --> 00:05:23.519
I'm continually using. I just booked another show, a Netflix show.
109
00:05:24.160 --> 00:05:26.839
I have four Disney Plus shows, Hulu shows, which are
110
00:05:26.860 --> 00:05:32.829
the YouTube episodes of Disney Plus with thumbnails of my face.
111
00:05:32.850 --> 00:05:35.769
I also did another show with Hulu.
112
00:05:35.410 --> 00:05:40.029
Called Rabbit Hole. And these are going across all platforms,
113
00:05:40.089 --> 00:05:41.459
including coming to Netflix. Wow.
114
00:05:42.560 --> 00:05:44.180
Oh, that is awesome, bro.
115
00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:48.670
So it's all cross-platforming. So I was so lucky to
116
00:05:48.709 --> 00:05:53.509
be able to take a big, tough guy because my
117
00:05:53.550 --> 00:05:57.449
wife's a bodybuilder. She's a pro wrestler. I'm a black belt.
118
00:05:58.009 --> 00:06:00.709
I trained three years with Dan Henderson at Team Quest.
119
00:06:01.509
--> 00:06:07.899
Ooh, nice, nice. And so the way I think I
120
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.420
got introduced to you other than my kids years later
121
00:06:12.079 --> 00:06:18.199
was a certain director with the same last name as yours. Yeah.
122
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:19.100
Yeah.
123
00:06:19.139 --> 00:06:22.660
Yeah. What's your history with that? And what happened?
124
00:06:23.480 --> 00:06:26.240
Look, I never got paid anything from his movies. I mean,
125
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:29.000
I think I made a total out of six or
126
00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:33.389
seven movies. I think I made 300 bucks. What? Look,
127
00:06:33.410 --> 00:06:36.600
he had his place in filmmaking. He is a genre
128
00:06:36.649 --> 00:06:40.519
grindhouse filmmaker at the very low end of the video
129
00:06:40.540 --> 00:06:43.300
shelf in the 1980s and 90s. You would find his movies.
130
00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:45.540
They'd have a cool cover and they were really shit.
131
00:06:46.019 --> 00:06:50.000
I'm not talking Italian horror shit. I'm talking shit shit.
132
00:06:50.399 --> 00:06:55.519
Yeah, we're talking... So... Go ahead.
133
00:06:55.740 --> 00:06:58.009
But, yo, he had a crux. He had a couple...
134
00:06:57.759 --> 00:06:59.949
He did a couple really good things. Here's the thing.
135
00:07:00.009 --> 00:07:03.000
I'm not going to shit on him because... He put
136
00:07:03.009 --> 00:07:04.819
me in leads of these terrible movies, and I gave
137
00:07:04.819 --> 00:07:07.019
100% of myself, and you can see that if you
138
00:07:07.060 --> 00:07:09.660
watch any of them. Right, right, right. He gave me
139
00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:13.060
that platform. Yeah. Better and different. And so when you
140
00:07:13.100 --> 00:07:16.779
asked me about residuals and shit like that, no, look,
141
00:07:16.819 --> 00:07:19.009
at the end of the day, I want to have
142
00:07:19.029 --> 00:07:23.389
a resounding character that's remembered, or for something besides the
143
00:07:23.430 --> 00:07:28.769
big tattoos, you know, that my obvious size and attributes.
144
00:07:30.120 --> 00:07:32.319
And I think I've done that. I think I've been
145
00:07:32.339 --> 00:07:34.490
able to play a lot of different roles, everything from
146
00:07:34.500 --> 00:07:40.750
the Christian door knocker to FBI agent. What time is
147
00:07:40.810 --> 00:07:41.350
it right now?
148
00:07:42.350 --> 00:07:48.980
It is, well, it's 2.54 for me. He's checking his
149
00:07:49.319 --> 00:07:52.860
door dash order. I believe that he is expecting guys.
150
00:07:52.920 --> 00:07:55.279
So if you see that, that's what's happening.
151
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:57.040
Yeah, I'm sorry.
152
00:07:57.769 --> 00:07:58.569
No, it's all good, man.
153
00:07:58.670 --> 00:08:00.829
It's all good. It's mid-time arrival. 1.15. What time is
154
00:08:00.850 --> 00:08:01.089
it now?
155
00:08:01.110 --> 00:08:05.480
Well, for me, it's... We don't have a lot of time.
156
00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:06.379
I'm just
telling you.
157
00:08:07.139 --> 00:08:07.600
Oh, okay.
158
00:08:08.060 --> 00:08:11.899
Oh, okay. My door dash. Air quotes. Look, I'm in
159
00:08:11.920 --> 00:08:14.699
the state of California, and I can order medicine to
160
00:08:14.759 --> 00:08:15.189
my door.
161
00:08:16.370 --> 00:08:17.769
That's pretty amazing.
162
00:08:18.410 --> 00:08:21.930
That's what I did, so... Oh, okay. Go ahead and
163
00:08:21.990 --> 00:08:27.220
ask any questions you like. I'd love to. Um... Look,
164
00:08:27.680 --> 00:08:31.579
I at one time was fired up on him and
165
00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:36.950
his manager. But here, man, here's the thing. There's room
166
00:08:36.990 --> 00:08:42.190
in entertainment for everybody. Is he this avant-garde director?
167
00:08:42.289 --> 00:08:42.669
No.
168
00:08:43.429 --> 00:08:46.129
But he's a genre director. He knows what he's made.
169
00:08:46.809 --> 00:08:51.820
Video games, ridiculous scenes. You know what I'm saying?
170
00:08:52.149 --> 00:08:53.379
Yeah, for sure.
171
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:57.200
There's a place for it. I just don't want to
172
00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:57.639
live there.
173
00:08:58.500 --> 00:09:00.799
Right, right. And that's the one thing me and my friends,
174
00:09:00.820 --> 00:09:03.220
we always, we're like, yeah, we may hate his movies,
175
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:06.379
but you know what? He's actually doing something. You know,
176
00:09:06.450 --> 00:09:09.750
he's actually putting out shit, whether, because it is shit,
177
00:09:09.870 --> 00:09:13.370
but he continuously puts out shit.
178
00:09:13.509 --> 00:09:16.509
And I saw him, my old roommate, Eric Russo, so I,
179
00:09:17.149 --> 00:09:19.190
the whole bounty hunter thing is something viral right now
180
00:09:19.210 --> 00:09:22.049
is I slapped somebody. Yeah. It was my roommate. We
181
00:09:22.100 --> 00:09:25.389
did an improv. And my first day of the production
182
00:09:25.409 --> 00:09:26.950
did really bad. So I'm like, look, I got to
183
00:09:26.990 --> 00:09:30.129
hit you. And I was like, I'm going to meet
184
00:09:30.169 --> 00:09:32.480
you with the energy you meet me with. So he
185
00:09:32.500 --> 00:09:36.279
was really pushing me in the chest, touching my nose.
186
00:09:37.320 --> 00:09:38.919
I didn't expect to hit him that hard, but it
187
00:09:38.960 --> 00:09:39.720
knocked him out.
188
00:09:39.779 --> 00:09:40.519
Eric's a good guy.
189
00:09:40.580 --> 00:09:44.399
I lived with him for a year after that. And
190
00:09:45.850 --> 00:09:50.269
he's a really talented guy. And he lived in that
191
00:09:50.330 --> 00:09:54.799
world of Dustin too long. Dustin's movies look fantastic that
192
00:09:54.919 --> 00:09:57.559
Eric worked on him with. like they look really good
193
00:09:58.019 --> 00:10:00.179
and I was like to Dustin because that was Dustin's
194
00:10:01.100 --> 00:10:03.179
you know what I'm saying they got some good locations
195
00:10:04.019 --> 00:10:06.610
and they look like they're interesting movies House on Haunted
196
00:10:06.649 --> 00:10:08.750
Hill I still.
197
00:10:08.549 --> 00:10:12.700

i work with every film team.
205
00:10:30.230 --> 00:10:33.210
Yeah you know absolutely Absolutely.
206
00:10:33.690 --> 00:10:36.769
Look, I just did a movie in Arizona. I just
207
00:10:37.029 --> 00:10:39.129
finished directing my first feature film.
208
00:10:39.309 --> 00:10:40.370
Oh, nice. What is it?
209
00:10:40.470 --> 00:10:43.389
Yeah, yeah. Look, I want to say a big shout
210
00:10:43.429 --> 00:10:48.500
out to Rad Sin Studios. That's my homie, Mitch. Without him,
211
00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.620
I couldn't have made my movie. And just literally, he
212
00:10:51.629 --> 00:10:54.019
was my DP on this. I told him what I
213
00:10:54.059 --> 00:10:58.059
wanted from the start. He did a rewrite on the script.
214
00:10:58.220 --> 00:11:01.899
You know what I'm saying? Uh-huh. And we collaborated on
215
00:11:01.919 --> 00:11:04.299
this so hard. And he is such a talented guy.
216
00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:07.799
And I can't thank him enough. Thank you, Mitch. Sorry
217
00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:08.919
about that.
218
00:11:08.960 --> 00:11:12.000
Well, shout out to Mitch, man, for killing it. Now,
219
00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:16.259
this new film, you worked with two people that I
220
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:21.470
don't approve, don't really like. But how was it working
221
00:11:21.500 --> 00:11:23.370
with Cheer Bloody Murder? Because I see what they're trying
222
00:11:23.389 --> 00:11:26.309
to do. They're trying to obviously ride the screen train,
223
00:11:26.330 --> 00:11:29.210
the whodunit thing. And I mean, that's all fine and dandy,
224
00:11:29.529 --> 00:11:29.769
you know?
225
00:11:31.009 --> 00:11:33.960
So in this movie was Sean C. Phillips.
226
00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:35.139
Yeah.
227
00:11:35.559 --> 00:11:40.460
And I got to, there was Jackson Everest. He's a
228
00:11:40.460 --> 00:11:41.720
guy I worked with on a couple of movies. He
229
00:11:41.759 --> 00:11:43.559
was producing this movie. So I had a lot of
230
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:45.870
liberty in this. I got to go in and rewrite
231
00:11:45.899 --> 00:11:50.769
my character with the dean of the school. So he
232
00:11:50.809 --> 00:11:56.129
wrote me as, in the script it wasn't there, is
233
00:11:56.149 --> 00:12:03.110
that I had, I was mentally disabled. okay and and
234
00:12:03.929 --> 00:12:05.710
that i was his old friend from high school like
235
00:12:05.750 --> 00:12:08.509
we went deep on this and created he flew out
236
00:12:08.629 --> 00:12:12.899
here we wrote together sean approved it so last minute
237
00:12:14.159 --> 00:12:16.580
uh they uh well is not coming out to help
238
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:21.490
produce he flies two producers out from philly one is
239
00:12:21.539 --> 00:12:26.990
tom walton the other one is jerry safier okay uh
240
00:12:28.149 --> 00:12:29.840
I was like, what the fuck is this, Sean? I
241
00:12:29.860 --> 00:12:31.279
was like, you're not going to have any control. They
242
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:36.480
took pretty much control. I got into an uncomfortable situation
243
00:12:36.519 --> 00:12:39.879
with Tom Walton on set and we ended up squashing
244
00:12:39.899 --> 00:12:43.179
that and working on a bunch of movies together. But
245
00:12:43.250 --> 00:12:46.330
it was a very, it was a very, so most
246
00:12:46.350 --> 00:12:48.450
of the actors that were working with me didn't know
247
00:12:48.590 --> 00:12:54.009
my character arc. Oh, damn. Hold on.
248
00:12:55.049 --> 00:12:56.289
Food, your medicine's here?
249
00:12:57.649 --> 00:13:03.490
No. While I'm talking to him, how I'm going to
250
00:13:03.509 --> 00:13:04.049
pay for it.
251
00:13:05.669 --> 00:13:06.250
Wait, what did you say?
252
00:13:06.289 --> 00:13:09.100
What? I got a Zelle. Tell him how I'm paying
253
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:09.840
for it digitally.
254
00:13:10.059 --> 00:13:11.279
Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
255
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:13.320
Yeah, we still got a good 10 minutes before I
256
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.179
have to dip out. But look, so you don't like
257
00:13:16.220 --> 00:13:16.860
Sean Phillips?
258
00:13:18.379 --> 00:13:23.179
I don't like his tactics on marketing and how every
259
00:13:23.220 --> 00:13:27.960
movie that has come out with his name attached... has
260
00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:33.580
been not so good. One of the writers on this
261
00:13:33.679 --> 00:13:38.159
film that I haven't mentioned stole an idea from me. Actually,
262
00:13:38.220 --> 00:13:42.279
pretty much my concept for another film. We were friends.
263
00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:47.289
And then he lied to me about the film that
264
00:13:47.429 --> 00:13:50.990
I did a short film for. And we were so
265
00:13:51.070 --> 00:13:54.590
serious compared to other shorts and everything else. We were
266
00:13:54.610 --> 00:13:57.289
the most serious ones. And we didn't know we needed
267
00:13:57.309 --> 00:13:59.549
to be campy or anything. So we look like a
268
00:13:59.590 --> 00:14:00.090
fish out.
269
00:14:00.149 --> 00:14:03.389
Like, like, well, if you look at Dustin, look at
270
00:14:03.409 --> 00:14:05.750
a bowl of racks. I keep getting credited with that.
271
00:14:05.769 --> 00:14:08.049
Cause I wrote me and Eric wrote all that. And
272
00:14:08.090 --> 00:14:12.309
it's quite straight. It's not
campy. Right. Like, well, I
273
00:14:12.409 --> 00:14:15.360
execute Eric. I got snot to play, which was just
274
00:14:15.379 --> 00:14:17.679
because if you look at what we did, it's not rack.
275
00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:19.059
No NATO. We filmed that.
276
00:14:19.799 --> 00:14:20.419
Okay.
277
00:14:20.519 --> 00:14:22.659
We've realized what he was doing. So we've made it
278
00:14:22.679 --> 00:14:24.700
super campy for NATO.
279
00:14:25.820 --> 00:14:26.120
Right.
280
00:14:26.200 --> 00:14:30.309
And I, me and him directed, that was just us filmmaking. Yeah. So,
281
00:14:30.409 --> 00:14:32.850
so yeah, no, I understand that situation, but when it
282
00:14:32.889 --> 00:14:35.919
comes to working with at this lower end or even
283
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.059
at the higher end, people are always going to try
284
00:14:39.080 --> 00:14:41.740
to manipulate it to their favor. You know what I mean? Yeah.
285
00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:45.360
But, but the backstabbing and stuff is like, is not needed.
286
00:14:45.460 --> 00:14:47.779
Like me, I know, I know who I am. I
287
00:14:47.820 --> 00:14:51.220
know what I've done. And like, I just feel like
288
00:14:51.240 --> 00:14:54.870
there wasn't respect in, in, in that sense. And then
289
00:14:54.950 --> 00:14:56.409
after everything I get blocked.
290
00:14:56.429 --> 00:14:59.429
Like I said, I was on set and had a
291
00:14:59.470 --> 00:15:02.809
producer tell me what the fuck was going on. You
292
00:15:03.090 --> 00:15:05.659
know what I mean? I never met in my life
293
00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.580
and kind of got aggressive. I'm a big scary guy.
294
00:15:09.759 --> 00:15:16.450
I'm very well trained. Very well trained. Hand to hand, weapons, everything.
295
00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:24.429
It's always funny when... No, I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Oh, damn.
296
00:15:24.590 --> 00:15:25.049
You got to go?
297
00:15:27.370 --> 00:15:30.730
In a couple minutes, yeah. No, no, no. I hear you.
298
00:15:31.929 --> 00:15:34.860
I think Sean's a good kid. I think he's a
299
00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:36.820
really good kid. I think he's in over his head
300
00:15:36.860 --> 00:15:38.750
most of the time. He tries to do as well
301
00:15:38.779 --> 00:15:42.049
as he can. Yeah. Uh, I don't think he's a
302
00:15:42.090 --> 00:15:46.870
bad kid. I'm glad this movie's coming out. Yeah. Lauren Francesca.
303
00:15:46.929 --> 00:15:49.169
I'm glad she's in the scout. Taylor Compton was only
304
00:15:49.230 --> 00:15:50.070
on this one day.
305
00:15:50.750 --> 00:15:54.129
Wait, scout Taylor's in it. That wasn't publicized.
306
00:15:54.169 --> 00:15:58.740
Taylor Compton. Oh boy. Okay. Okay. Front of the trailer. Oh, okay.
307
00:15:58.750 --> 00:15:59.360
That makes sense.
308
00:15:59.399 --> 00:16:05.620
Todd bridges in this Tom size more, uh, Fuck. Andy Dick.
309
00:16:06.379 --> 00:16:08.940
Robert Lozardo. Todd Bridges.
310
00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:12.470
They did one day with all of these crazy old
311
00:16:12.570 --> 00:16:13.169
school actors.
312
00:16:13.230 --> 00:16:14.110
Sean Whalen.
313
00:16:14.450 --> 00:16:19.529
Oh, wow. Dude, it's funny. It's a really funny movie.
314
00:16:19.649 --> 00:16:21.990
Is it a whodunit mystery, though? Like, at the end,
315
00:16:22.029 --> 00:16:23.250
you know, you get revealed.
316
00:16:24.509 --> 00:16:26.250
Dude, it's a fun movie.
317
00:16:26.529 --> 00:16:26.870
Okay.
318
00:16:27.330 --> 00:16:33.169
It's titties. Oh. Look, it is a comedy. It's funny.
319
00:16:33.909 --> 00:16:37.190

Well, maybe you can introduce me officially to Sean and
326
00:16:59.129 --> 00:17:00.879
get this, I guess.
327
00:17:00.899 --> 00:17:03.659
He doesn't talk to me because of my association with
328
00:17:03.679 --> 00:17:06.519
someone from his past. That producer who acted like a
329
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:07.440
dick to me that day.
330
00:17:08.099 --> 00:17:11.259
Okay, okay. See, yeah, for everyone watching, this is kind
331
00:17:11.279 --> 00:17:14.180
of like the behind the scenes on shit that unfortunately
332
00:17:14.220 --> 00:17:17.589
happens on the indie circuit. It's just, it's going to happen.
333
00:17:17.609 --> 00:17:18.369
It's inevitable.
334
00:17:18.430 --> 00:17:20.210
You can't take anything personally. You just got to keep
335
00:17:20.230 --> 00:17:22.849
moving forward. Right. And that's the thing is like, look,
336
00:17:23.549 --> 00:17:25.710
I've had my name spelled wrong on all kinds of things.
337
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:30.039
I've been miscredited. This can't bloody murder or whatever. They
338
00:17:30.079 --> 00:17:32.339
don't even list me in the cast. And I've got
339
00:17:33.059 --> 00:17:37.299
two Netflix shows for Disney plus shows this year, a
340
00:17:37.740 --> 00:17:42.009
movie in theaters. And they don't mention me. I literally
341
00:17:42.049 --> 00:17:45.269
have the biggest arc through this whole movie, but you know,
342
00:17:46.609 --> 00:17:48.839
I'm sounding butthurt when I'm talking to you, but I'm not.
343
00:17:48.890 --> 00:17:49.339
It's okay.
344
00:17:49.400 --> 00:17:49.859
It's okay.
345
00:17:49.900 --> 00:17:50.640
No, no, I get it.
346
00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:52.640
It's part of the business. You know what I mean?
347
00:17:52.660 --> 00:17:55.500
Yeah, absolutely. So if you don't have a thick skin,
348
00:17:55.619 --> 00:17:58.579
everyone watching this, don't get into the film world, film business.
349
00:17:58.599 --> 00:18:00.200
Don't get into the movie business. Again, like I said,
350
00:18:00.700 --> 00:18:02.950
I do want to thank Dustin Ferguson. I want to
351
00:18:02.970 --> 00:18:07.549
thank Eric Russo. I want to thank all of these people. Sean,
352
00:18:08.130 --> 00:18:10.589
all of these people helped me get to where I
353
00:18:10.650 --> 00:18:14.079
am today. I'm on four episodes of an Apple TV
354
00:18:14.099 --> 00:18:14.650
show this year.
355
00:18:15.440 --> 00:18:17.680
That's awesome. And this is.
356
00:18:17.849 --> 00:18:19.950
All Emmy winners. All Emmy winners.
357
00:18:20.289 --> 00:18:23.910
And this is your full-time income, correct? I would assume.
358
00:18:23.930 --> 00:18:25.190
This is what?
359
00:18:25.930 --> 00:18:28.529
Your full income. Like, this is how you live.
360
00:18:28.549 --> 00:18:29.789
I think I'm all in, bro.
361
00:18:29.930 --> 00:18:31.769
Yeah. That's awesome, man.
362
00:18:31.829 --> 00:18:34.950
Here's the thing. As I owned tattoo shops for years,
363
00:18:35.809 --> 00:18:38.630
I was living in safety for years. You know what?
364
00:18:39.150 --> 00:18:40.880
I said, fuck it. But I got to go, buddy.
365
00:18:40.890 --> 00:18:44.420
Follow your dreams. I got to grab this fucking bag.
366
00:18:45.240 --> 00:18:46.900
All right, I'll hit you up later, Mike. Thanks for
367
00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.460
coming on, brother.
368
00:18:47.480 --> 00:18:48.259
Yes, sir. All right, bye.
369
00:18:50.700 --> 00:18:53.759
All right, for everyone that is tuning in, right now,
370
00:18:54.000 --> 00:19:00.470
we just had an interview with... Let me hide it
371
00:19:00.549 --> 00:19:05.589
from you. There we go. We had an interview and discussion,
372
00:19:05.609 --> 00:19:10.150
a quick discussion with actor Mike Ferguson, who's got over
373
00:19:10.299 --> 00:19:16.240
a billion views on YouTube. He is connected to a
374
00:19:16.509 --> 00:19:19.210
lot of people and has been a part of a
375
00:19:19.309 --> 00:19:23.690
lot of projects. And even though this was a very quick, quick,
376
00:19:23.809 --> 00:19:27.130
quick interview, I just wanted to get him on here
377
00:19:27.150 --> 00:19:29.579
because he has this new movie coming out that is
378
00:19:29.630 --> 00:19:34.839
called Cheer Bloody Murder, originally called Screen Bloody Murder. And
379
00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:36.980
I think they probably changed it because Screen Bloody Murder
380
00:19:37.039 --> 00:19:38.779
is a film right now.
381
00:19:39.039 --> 00:19:39.559
That's out there.
382
00:19:40.119 --> 00:19:42.819
So check it out. Cheer Bloody Murder on all the
383
00:19:42.859 --> 00:19:45.220
streaming services. I'm not sure if it's on Netflix, but
384
00:19:45.640 --> 00:19:48.869
you know what? You guys can Google. But every now
385
00:19:48.910 --> 00:19:50.980
and then I will pop up. on here and do
386
00:19:51.119 --> 00:19:56.269
