Text.
And before I got to give a
20
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:19,240
forever, I got to give a shout
out to Mama Kay for providing
21
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:23,120

Guitars.
22
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,960
Guitars are what guitars are my
jam.

There you go.
Thank you.
26
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:31,640
All right.
Cool.
27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,560
Appreciate it.
So Tremont Turner, the legend,
28
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,520
I, I found you on Instagram,
TikTok, Facebook, I got all
29
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,480
those things dialed in for you.
So give us a little bit.
30
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:45,320
Give us your elevator speech
about who you are, what you do,
31
00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:47,520
and and what you want to get
across on The Chris and Mike
32
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,400
Show.
Bad elevator pitch.
33
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,000
OK, First off, my name is Shamon
Turner.
34
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:01,400
I come from Gary, IN.
Gary, IN.
35
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:09,919
I now live in California.
I've been out here since 2014 or
36
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:17,000
sorry, 2017, pursuing acting,
working as a brand ambassador.
37
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,960
I've sitting since written a
book on how to get into that
38
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:21,840
life.
Sweet.
39
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:27,040
And yeah, right now I just
recently started a business and
40
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:28,840
a lot of stuff in between.
Cool.
41
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,400
All right, cool.
So what's your business?
42
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:39,600
What's the business you started?
So the business is, so it's a
43
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,720
LED digital dance floor we have
at the center we rented out for
44
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,040
advanced parties.
Yeah, I saw that on your on your
45
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,400
business page.
Nice.
46
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:54,840
We have a little bit of a delay
going on.
47
00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,520
So you're so the.
LED dance.
48
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,120
Floor when you're when?
So the whole floor itself is LED
49
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,120
and you can and you can make
different lights, different
50
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:06,920
patterns or what.
Correct.
51
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,800
It's a pixel floor.
So for every square, which is 2
52
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,680
feet by two feet, there's 64
pixels.
53
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,720
And I can, you know, write on
it, type on it live.
54
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:26,400
I can also upload a actual video
or image as well.
55
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:29,160
That.
That's legit dude.
56
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,840
That'd be awesome for weddings
and stuff.
57
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,200
You know you can be dancing on
the bride and groom.
58
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,600
Oh yeah, that's yo, that's a
plan.
59
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,440
We're we're down to party with
you if you let us.
60
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,640
That's awesome, man.
What's the name of your company?
61
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:58,610
It's called Epic experiences.
You guys are.
62
00:03:58,610 --> 00:04:01,330
Epic experiences.
Are you getting a are you
63
00:04:01,330 --> 00:04:03,250
getting a delay from us?
Are we just getting that delay
64
00:04:03,250 --> 00:04:05,090
from you?
Just out of curiosity.
65
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:08,680
I'm getting a delay from you
guys as well.
66
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,160
Is it?
Is it potentially my?
67
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,520
OK, OK, that's weird.
I, I don't know.
68
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,760
We're just, we're not used to
having a delay.
69
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,920
So that's why I was just asking
to make sure we're not, we're
70
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,880
not, you know, glitching in the
matrix.
71
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,600
Somewhere I'm guessing we'll
work through it.
72
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,440
Yeah, yeah.
Him and I had.
73
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,400
Delays I might.
Get two of us for the first 48
74
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,520
episodes.
Yeah, you're good.
75
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,960
Oh wow.
Are you hearing me in real time,
76
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,600
Chris?
I'm hearing you in real time.
77
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,160
Like, yeah, I got a little bit
of delay with with Tremont
78
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,280
though.
Yeah, I do too.
79
00:04:43,280 --> 00:04:45,240
Like 2 seconds.
OK.
80
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:47,200
Let me.
See.
81
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:51,120
If maybe I.
And there's a.
82
00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:55,640
Huge delay and let me I'm going
to OK, I'm going to change my
83
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,000
Internet over to something that
might go.
84
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:01,920
OK, give me.
One second, all right.
85
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,400
Cool that may that may fix the
problem.
86
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,560
Sure absolutely man.
We're just going to make sure
87
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,040
you come across as clear as
possible.
88
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:09,680
Let's.
See.
89
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,000
Yeah, in the final product he
would have seemed together with
90
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,000
us, but it's just kind of weird
for you and I right now.
91
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,960
Yeah.
OK.
92
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:25,600
Any change by chance?
Yeah, I'm thinking so.
93
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,800
Say something again.
Sorry ladies, and.
94
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,400
Gentlemen, OK, here we go.
Technical difficulties.
95
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,840
I think we might be back.
I think I might have fixed my
96
00:05:38,840 --> 00:05:41,720
issue baby.
That's a lot better.
97
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,240
A lot better.
It happens every now and then,
98
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:45,480
'cause I have a couple, yeah.
OK.
99
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,360
Yeah, I have a couple Internet
too.
100
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,680
So when I when I put on the
wrong Internet by accident, it's
101
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:55,080
like, oh, it just lags, man.
It just lags.
102
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,640
And we just want to be able to
hear you when we.
103
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,160
Yeah, rookie.
So we yeah, yeah, yeah.
104
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:00,480
It's no.
That's all right, man.
105
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,160
That's way better.
So that'll that'll help the flow
106
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,360
for sure.
It would have been fine in the
107
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,760
end.
This program is crazy.
108
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,160
I had like a 10 second delay
when I was having Internet
109
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,320
difficulties.
And when I've listened back to
110
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,000
the podcast, it was like I was
right there with the two of
111
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,680
them, but they couldn't deal
with it because it was so long.
112
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,400
You know, 10 seconds is a long
time, but it pushed it all back
113
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,400
together seamlessly.
It was crazy.
114
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,800
Power of technology, man.
The AI world that we're living
115
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:36,120
in.
It's amazing that any of this
116
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:37,600
works.
Chris says it all the time.
117
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:41,000
You're in Los Angeles, I'm in
the middle of a cornfield, and
118
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,480
Chris is in outside Phoenix.
Yeah.
119
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,440
All right, so it's called.
It's called.
120
00:06:48,840 --> 00:06:50,760
That's what's up.
That is how you can make it
121
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,920
work.
Yeah, that's that's, that's way.
122
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,560
What's up?
So, so we have a Tremont Turner
123
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:58,040
on.
We had a little bit of glitches
124
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,360
going on.
So we were going to kind of just
125
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,640
revisit what we talked about.
You have an LED dance floor,
126
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,200
right?
With, with pixel, the dance
127
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:09,600
floor pixel and you can put
images, words, you can, you can
128
00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:12,240
take wedding, you can take the
wedding, the grooms and the
129
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,280
brides and all the pictures and
stuff and put it on a dance
130
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:15,520
floor.
So you're, you're like, that's
131
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,480
legit, dude.
That would be really, that is so
132
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,720
cool, right?
Brilliant idea because we just
133
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,680
had my daughter's wedding and
that would have been a cool
134
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,360
thing to have on the on the on
the floor while you're dancing.
135
00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,640
Absolutely right.
Yeah, way to go, Tremont.
136
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,640
Brilliant.
Oh yeah, it's if you.
137
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,520
Learn nothing from the show.
If you learn nothing from the
138
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:33,840
show, you just revolutionize
dancing.
139
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:37,960
So what made this idea come
about?
140
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,160
I mean, where did you dream this
up and where?
141
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,080
Where did it come?
I got to know, man, now.
142
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:47,280
Now I'm fascinated.
Well, honestly, my wife and I
143
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,760
were getting married and we're
like, hey, we're wanting to get
144
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,320
out of the rat race, right?
And this is only, this is still
145
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,400
as of recent as the end of last
year.
146
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:06,160
And so we decided to look up
what kind of cool niche business
147
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,760
that could be out there.
I've been working in the event
148
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:15,360
world for the better part of 10
years, 12 years actually.
149
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,800
And we wanted something unique.
We wanted something that not
150
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,520
everybody had.
And I'd be able to kind of
151
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,680
network and be able to get off
the ground, you know, with it.
152
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,480
And we were just looking around,
looking on Alibaba and trying to
153
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:38,480
come up with ideas and came
across the floor and it's like,
154
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:43,039
oh, OK, that looks, that looks
interesting.
155
00:08:43,039 --> 00:08:46,680
I'm like, OK, there's different
kinds of floors because I've,
156
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:52,600
I've seen LED floors before,
like the ones, but I've never
157
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,160
seen ones that you could put
video on, you could write on,
158
00:08:56,560 --> 00:08:58,040
you know, things like that, No.
That's what.
159
00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:59,600
And I was.
Like my attention?
160
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,800
Yeah, that's legit, man.
Yeah, because people love
161
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:07,120
customization, you know, people
love to, you know, see their
162
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:12,520
name or I, I messed around when
I was kind of figuring out how
163
00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,280
to make it work.
And I told my friend Joe I was
164
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,120
like, give me something that I
could put on it.
165
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,000
He's like, ooh, how about
Thundercats?
166
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,120
And so I put the the intro to
Thundercats on.
167
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,920
Yeah, right on.
That's awesome.
168
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:31,960
That's crazy.
So you can put so this shit can
169
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,760
be completely customized.
You could like.
170
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,600
You could like.
Yeah, that's what caught my
171
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,920
attention, man, was you could do
videos, you could do pictures,
172
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,280
like you said, with, you know,
your daughter's wedding.
173
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,840
You could have had either a
video of all the pictures.
174
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,960
Yeah, put the pictures in the
floor, right.
175
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:50,440
You can do all customize it up
to that level, right?
176
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:54,040
Yeah.
Oh yeah, and if you have a
177
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:58,080
drone, especially the the
footage from it looks killer.
178
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:01,960
I can't.
Yeah, exactly.
179
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,360
That's that's so cool, man.
I love it.
180
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:09,360
So you can play the entire
episode of The Office on the on
181
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:10,760
the dance floor while you're
dancing?
182
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:16,440
That would be awesome.
Play Play the episode of them
183
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:20,200
having a dance party.
Yeah, yeah.
184
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,560
It could I Unfortunately The
Office is one of those shows I
185
00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:28,200
still have yet to actually watch
the whole thing.
186
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,640
Oh.
Do yourself a favor.
187
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:31,960
Yeah, that's OK.
It's hilarious.
188
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,440
Yeah, I just, you know, it was
just, it's one of those shows
189
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,080
that that he, if you want to
just tune out the world for 1/2
190
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,320
an hour, there you go.
It's just that.
191
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:42,400
That's what I use it for too,
yeah.
192
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:43,600
Stupid.
Yeah.
193
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,320
Kind of like Seinfeld.
You just you don't have to.
194
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,200
Yeah, it's what you absolutely
go to sleep, laugh.
195
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,000
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
You know, Oh.
196
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:52,720
Yeah, that's like me with Family
Guy.
197
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:56,320
Put that time before before bed.
Yeah, see, there you go.
198
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:57,520
Yeah, Yeah, right.
Exactly.
199
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:01,000
Family Guy seems all the same.
So you mentioned earlier when we
200
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:03,440
first got you on here, you had
you wrote a book and the and the
201
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:05,680
book kind of I like the sound of
the book.
202
00:11:05,680 --> 00:11:07,880
So I want you to talk about the
book again because I, you know,
203
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:09,560
because of our little glitches
in the beginning here.
204
00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:12,200
So you're in, you're in.
Oh, look at that.
205
00:11:12,200 --> 00:11:14,160
You're in California.
Hold that up closer.
206
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,160
Yeah, hold it up closer.
Hold it up closer and then you
207
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,720
can take a picture and stick it
on our on our Facebook page.
208
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,200
The bucks behind the brand.
That's cool.
209
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,080
Yeah, I like.
It the bucks behind the brand
210
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,080
right on.
So so give us give us a little
211
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,080
Yeah, yeah, it's not anything
writing a book.
212
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:36,080
OK, So what's, what's the,
what's the, what's the premise
213
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:43,000
of that?
So the premise of it, there's
214
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:47,280
this whole world of experiential
marketing that not too many
215
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:51,520
people know about, right?
Like you go to events, you go to
216
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:56,920
conventions and you never really
think about the workers that are
217
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,520
there.
Or, you know, you see these
218
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:02,440
other activations that are live
or someone's putting on a
219
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,080
demonstration or they're giving
out free stuff and you don't
220
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:12,080
think anything of the person
that's doing the work, right.
221
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:20,040
So there is a whole yeah work
get in the gig life or gig
222
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:25,280
economy called brand ambassador
work in experiential marketing
223
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,480
and I've.
Heard I've heard of I started
224
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:28,920
this.
I've I've heard about it.
225
00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:39,200
It's it's OK.
Oh, I'm getting a very crazy
226
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,760
delay now.
Yeah, we're delaying again.
227
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,360
Let me see, is there anything I
can do real quick?
228
00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:55,520
Like let me see.

I believe it was a We're on A5.
230
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:11,160
What is it five GI think as far
as I understand it.
231
00:13:16,490 --> 00:13:17,930
Yeah, that should be really.
Fast.
232
00:13:18,170 --> 00:13:23,170
Yeah, you would think so.

00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:58,840

So did you hear me just now?
242
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,960
Oh, got it.
OK, well.
243
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:04,640
Yeah.
Yeah, it's just the delay.
244
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:10,880
It's all good.
We just.
245
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:13,720
OK, should I start again or go
again?
246
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:17,640
Yeah, well, let's talk about the
book a little bit more.
247
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,000
Yeah, 'cause I, I don't want to
lose.
248
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,760
I don't, I, you know, we, we
have an hour.
249
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,040
So I don't want to lose.
I don't want to lose Why we're
250
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,600
why we have you on here.
So, yeah, let's talk about the
251
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,920
book again real quick.
And if and for those of you if,
252
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,960
if you're hearing this twice,
you know, technology, sometimes
253
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,080
it sucks.
No, it'll be fine in the end.
254
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:41,520
OK, cool.
OK, OK, so I wrote this book
255
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:46,000
because I've been doing this for
the last 10 plus years.
256
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:51,760
I started when I was in college
and I was doing some fast food
257
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:57,560
work.
Yeah, I've been doing it for
258
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:07,840
over 10 years now.
When I was probably 22, a friend
259
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,560
of mine told me I should get
into it.
260
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,880
I would be really good at it.
It's working for different
261
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:15,400
brands.
It's giving out free stuff and
262
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,040
it's it's freelance work.
So when you're done with one
263
00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,440
job, you can pick up another
one.
264
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,280
You know, that's, that's one of
the coolest things about it, but
265
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:32,520
also it's also the hardest thing
because it's not consistent, but
266
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:35,160
it's able to put you in some
really, really cool and
267
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:39,280
interesting places from
festivals to business
268
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:43,840
conferences, tech conferences,
music conferences.
269
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:49,960
I know you guys are musicians.
I worked for Nam.
270
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,680
I worked at the Nam convention,
which is one of the biggest
271
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:58,600
music conventions in the world.
Absolutely.
272
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:03,680
And that was cool, didn't even
know it existed, but I worked it
273
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:08,120
2 weekends and it was such a
cool, cool experience.
274
00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:12,120
You know, I learned a lot about
the music industry that I really
275
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:18,000
didn't know about.
So if you even have no idea what
276
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,320
you even want to do with your
life kind of thing, and
277
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:24,760
especially if you're younger,
you can pick this up and just
278
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:26,880
play around with it for a little
while.
279
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:32,240
And it'll help connect you in so
many different, so many
280
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,640
different fields with so many
different kind of people.
281
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,520
And if you know how to work it,
you can utilize it to elevate
282
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:43,280
you to other things.
Cool.
283
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,640
So definitely a networking
platform for somebody that wants
284
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:49,200
to just to network and kind of
engage with other people in
285
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,840
different walks of life.
That sounds like a really good
286
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:57,240
thing to do personally, and so
your books for sure.
287
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:58,840
You could even.
Travel Take.
288
00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:05,200
Advantage of that, right?
On Oh yeah, that's the plan.
289
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:10,480
Like I honestly, I started this
because partially I wanted the
290
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:15,319
freedom to be able to pursue
acting, you know, be with my
291
00:17:15,319 --> 00:17:20,400
friends and all that.
And this enables me to do just
292
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:23,319
that.
You know, I am still able to
293
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:25,839
pursue acting.
I'm still able to make money.
294
00:17:25,839 --> 00:17:31,560
And it's even better money than
you would with, you know, a fast
295
00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:35,840
food job or, or you know,
something where you're doing
296
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,960
like really crazy menial work
every single day.
297
00:17:42,120 --> 00:17:44,440
Yeah, yeah.
So this is just you're getting
298
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:51,200
paid to socialize, right?
Socialize.
299
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,400
I mean, it can be a grind.
It's not the easiest thing in
300
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:59,960
the world, but if you have a
high social battery and you're
301
00:17:59,960 --> 00:18:03,160
able to be on your feet
sometimes for hours and hours,
302
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:08,520
and you could deal with, you
know, maybe not necessarily
303
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,240
knowing what your next job is
going to be.
304
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:18,000
Yeah, it's a job for you.
Cool, cool.
305
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,320
So let's let's let's talk about
your acting career.
306
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,720
What have you done?
Anything, anything on a on a
307
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:27,520
grand scale, it's.
Going to be cool.
308
00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,560
Nothing on a grand scale.
Honestly, I have not.
309
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:34,920
Nothing.
I have, I have my ups and downs
310
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:39,040
with if I'm like even pursuing
it, if you will.
311
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,080
I just got some head shots done
recently like yesterday.
312
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,960
So we're jumping back in.
I have a new agent that's been
313
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,840
getting a lot of auditions.
So thank you.
314
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:53,680
Thank you.
It's only a matter of time.
315
00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:00,280
Right on.
So let me ask you about the
316
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,640
agent thing for people that
don't understand the whole world
317
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:04,800
of acting, right.
So an agent, you hire an agent,
318
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,200
the agent gets a percentage of
anything that you make for
319
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,240
whatever you if when you get
hired for a gig, right?
320
00:19:09,240 --> 00:19:10,720
Is that how they get paid?
That's how they make their
321
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:14,920
money.
Correct.
322
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:21,200
OK, so there's nothing up front.
You don't got to say here's, you
323
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:22,600
know, here's you got.
You don't have to give him a
324
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,920
retainer for anything.
You're just, you're just, he set
325
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:28,840
you up on auditions and they
want you to get a job because if
326
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,480
you get that job and they get
their RIP.
327
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,720
Exactly.
When I got my agent, I think
328
00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:42,280
they found me on casting
networks, which is where a lot
329
00:19:42,280 --> 00:19:47,760
of actors find their work.
And they wanted to, OK, They
330
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:53,360
wanted to represent me.
And I was like, yeah, I yeah,
331
00:19:53,360 --> 00:19:55,280
for sure.
And it's a commercial agency,
332
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,680
and they've been getting me
much, many more auditions since
333
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:02,200
my last agent.
I don't have to pay them.
334
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,440
And I just get my headshots,
which headshots are the things
335
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:13,040
that cost a lot and do classes
as you know, as I can afford it,
336
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:16,680
right?
OK, gotcha.
337
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,640
So what?
So it's called casting networks
338
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,760
or what's it called?
Casting networks.
339
00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:28,800
That's where if you're wanting
to really take the acting thing
340
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,000
seriously, you're going to set
up a profile.
341
00:20:31,360 --> 00:20:39,360
You upload your photos, you
upload your resume and videos,
342
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:41,720
and that's where you search for
jobs.
343
00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:48,240
Right now, well, currently
Tremont, there's 10,152 rules
344
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,080
waiting for you.
Is that?
345
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:55,040
What it says?
Yeah, there's 10,152 rules
346
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,360
waiting for you and.
It's going to be a busy dude.

And they don't tell you that
350
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:12,280
10,400 of those are in porn.
Right.
351
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,840
Right.
I mean, maybe Scientology is on
352
00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,760
there, or you can make films.
This guy's got to make a living.
353
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,040
Is it seriously Scientology?
That's crazy, dude.
354
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:31,280
Scientology.
That's insane man.
355
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:35,760
Scientology if you see gold
golden productions.
356
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,240
OK, no, this is this is pretty
legit, man.

00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,800
I don't know what AFTRA is.
What's AFTRA?
364
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:07,200
Tremont AFTRA, What's that?

00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:14,520
Union.

00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:15,600

369
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,920
OK, OK.
I belong to the Songwriters
370
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,160
Union.

371
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:24,520

372
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:28,080
BM not it's OK, yeah.
BMG, you're in the other one.
373
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:31,560
Yeah, Yeah.
I'm a published ASCAP YEAH
374
00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,320
composer, and he's a published
BMG composer.
375
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,160
This is crazy.
All the stuff that you have on
376
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:39,760
here, man.
You could.
377
00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,640
You could.
It's the other one.
378
00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:45,760
Yeah, the music group, I forget
what the B stands for, but it's
379
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:49,600
it's just when, when my when my
last band I was in, we we were
380
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,600
signed under an umbrella of
Universal Records is called
381
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:57,200
Platinum Plus Records.
So when we released our CD back
382
00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:01,120
in that day, they BMG was the
one that we registered the label
383
00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:04,040
registered group with for
whatever, I don't know.
384
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,840
It's just whoever you go to,
they're both, they both equally
385
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,840
serve the same purpose.
They collect royalties for any
386
00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,560
time your music's played right
on your behalf is basically you
387
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:16,600
know.
So, so it's like if we if we had
388
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:22,480
a billion.
Dollars get. $12.00 yeah, yeah,
389
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:25,120
you know, you know, that's
about.
390
00:23:25,120 --> 00:23:27,440
Capitalist.
OK, so actually he'd probably
391
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,560
get about 34,000, right?
Right.
392
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,720
And that's accurate.
So how big, how big was Gary IN
393
00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:37,280
when you left it population
wise?
394
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,240
Because I like the human
interest side of things.

00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,280
So I want to you're coming from
Gary, IN, which is the Midwest

people straight up, but it's
407
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,400
been working to to, you know,
bring in more business.
408
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:23,760
Like the Hard Rock is fairly
new, so make sure you check that
409
00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:27,960
out.
They have Michael Jackson stuff
410
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:34,560
there.
I went there once, this will be
411
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,520
my second visit.
I really enjoyed it man.
412
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:38,440
The place is really, really
nice.
413
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:43,160
Yeah, I've been there once
myself.
414
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,720
There's definitely a share of
casinos out there.
415
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,840
I used to work at the Horseshoe
Casino.
416
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,560
There's not a lot to do when
it's winter time, you know that.
417
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:03,080
Yeah, pretty much.
You sit, you chill and you maybe
418
00:25:03,080 --> 00:25:05,800
go to your local spot.
That's about it.
419
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,520
Where could the snows?
It's snowing in the winter.
420
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:14,840
Yeah, you got to have something
to do.
421
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,800
So people gamble.
I get it.
422
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,880
Oh, is that it?
Oh yeah, OK, we would have.
423
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:22,480
Breakfast.
Sit in the house the entire
424
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,200
winter.
Yeah, so, so I was showing
425
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,080
houses yesterday because my, my
gig is real estate guy there,
426
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:31,360
Tremont.
I was showing houses then in
427
00:25:31,360 --> 00:25:35,200
their, in their dining room.
They had two Vegas slot machines
428
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,000
and the kid, the 15 year old kid
was like, well, I guess if
429
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:39,600
you're going to have a gambling
problem, you might as well
430
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:40,800
gamble your own money, your own
machine.
431
00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,040
So you're not really losing
anything.
432
00:25:43,360 --> 00:25:45,080
That's a brilliant kid.
Right.
433
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:51,960
I was like, dude, this is, you
know, you can't argue with that
434
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,800
logic.
You got to feed that addiction.
435
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:55,640
It's your own machine.
So it's your own money you're
436
00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:57,400
putting in, but it's your own
money you're getting out.
437
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:01,520
So it's it's a win, win.
Right, I like it.
438
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:04,240
Yeah, so we got the LED dance
floor.
439
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:08,240
We got Tremont Turner, the actor
and the author.
440
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:09,040
What else?
What else?
441
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,000
What else do we know about you
and your life, man?
442
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:14,560
You're married.
You said you're married.
443
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,480
How many kids?
Any kids?
444
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:23,360
No kids, no kids yet, but my
wife and I have a very
445
00:26:23,360 --> 00:26:29,120
interesting story.
OK, cool, let's see.
446
00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:36,640
To start off, let's see we met
in Vegas on Tinder.
447
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:42,880
Didn't actually meet in person
at all, but we matched, matched
448
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,800
on Tinder.
Then we kept talking for about
449
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:50,240
two months.
Then we met in person in Vegas
450
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:54,640
and we did long distance for
about a year.
451
00:26:55,200 --> 00:27:00,800
She lived in Oregon, I was in
Indiana and two years later we
452
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:05,400
ended up moving out to
California and we had roommates
453
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:12,640
and five years into us living
out here in California, I ended
454
00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:16,040
up getting to propose at John
Legend concert.
455
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,080
So that was that was fine.
Right on.
456
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:25,840
That's all, man.
So how long you guys married
457
00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:26,120
now?
Yeah.
458
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:30,800
How long?
Have you been married?
459
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:34,600
We just hit a year in.
May OK cool.
460
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,160

Congratulations.
461

You just haven't found the right
1 yet.
473
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,480
That's true.
Good things take time.
474
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,800
That's true, Yeah.
Who better hurry up?
475
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:31,560
Yeah.
Yeah, see, I was, I was lucky
476
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:32,960
because I.
Just 30 years.
477
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,800
So and then Nikki just that's my
wife.
478
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:36,800
She just, she just fell on my
lap.
479
00:28:37,360 --> 00:28:39,920
So it's kind of like, you know,
yeah, we got.
480
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:41,600
How long hate?
Go ahead.
481
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:45,400
How long had you known her when
we started the band?
482
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,320
I don't remember.
I don't, I don't remember.
483
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:52,440
Not very long.
Yeah, I don't remember.
484
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,360
We were I.
I met her on I.
485
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:55,480
Was going to say, what's the
story?
486
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,600
And then she blew me off till,
yeah, I met her on her birthday.
487
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,600
I, I worked at a place in, in
the East Valley, which we took
488
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,280
care of mentally handicapped is,
I mean, it's not fully correct,
489
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:07,360
but that's what I'm going to
call it.
490
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:09,800
So I ran group homes.
So they were like people like
491
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,480
our age, but mentally they were
seven years old.
492
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:14,640
So I was on the social
committee, Shocking.
493
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,880
And I was going around the
houses during before Christmas
494
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:20,080
to film all the staff with the
clients.
495
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:23,840
We call them clients.
So when we had Santa, which I
496
00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:26,840
played Santa, my buddy at the
time played elf, he was Elvis.
497
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,960
So he was had long sideburns
like Elvis and was on his knees.
498
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,880
So you know, he looked like
Elvis and I was dressed up as
499
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,240
Santa.
Well, behind us we had this big
500
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,840
screen that we would play all
the interaction of all the staff
501
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,960
in all 32 group homes.
So I would, I was driving around
502
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,440
the, the valley in the East
Valley, you know, stopping at
503
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:46,560
the group homes, going in video
recording the staff with the
504
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,200
clients and things like that,
having fun.
505
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:50,840
Well, where she worked was an
all female house.
506
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,960
So that means all the clients
were, were, were women and all
507
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,960
the staff were women.
And my luck as I showed up
508
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,760
during shower time.
So they open the door like,
509
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:01,160
yeah, you're not coming in here.
I'm like, well, shit, I don't
510
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:03,560
want to come back because it's,
it's a further out, you know,
511
00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,800
house and like why you're coming
back because we can't let you
512
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,880
in.
I'm like, well, shit, So I ended
513
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,840
up coming back some other day,
but she had when they open the
514
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,640
door, she was I could see her
sitting on this chair.
515
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,200
She's wearing these red Rockies
and her leg was propped up over
516
00:30:16,200 --> 00:30:18,240
the side of the thing.
I'm I was like, damn.
517
00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:21,520
And just a little back story,
Tremont.
518
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:25,480
I had just shaved my head, so
about a month or so before that.
519
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,560
So and I did it in a time that I
I had a roommate that was like
520
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,360
super in the Louis Farrakhan of
stuff.
521
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:32,760
So he'd wear all that Muslim
stuff.
522
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,200
I'm walking around in a red and
black flannel, not understanding
523
00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:40,120
that the dark side of the shaved
head people or skinheads with
524
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,440
red and black and Doc Martin.
So it's completely ignorant
525
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:45,480
because I don't have that.
That's not who I am, right.
526
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:48,640
So we're walking around together
in malls and shit and people are
527
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:50,840
walking away from us.
Like that's really weird, man.
528
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:56,080
So, but as I was trying to, you
know, go out on dates and shit,
529
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:57,360
girls are just looking like
shit.
530
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,400
Fuck off.
Because I look when I my head's
531
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:05,400
like I had that look.
He did this in like 19, he did
532
00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,200
this in like 1993, four,
whatever.
533
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:11,360
Yeah, right when it wasn't done,
man, unless you were a Skinhead.
534
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:16,360
Dude, we got booked with a bunch
of Skinhead bands.
535
00:31:16,360 --> 00:31:18,800
We did.
And that was the first time I I
536
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:22,320
came from a small town, right?
So I lived in Chicago for two
537
00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:23,880
years going to college before
that.
538
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:27,480
So I had a little bit of, you
know, acclamation to the city,
539
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,880
but I hadn't experienced a lot
of things.
540
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,520
And we got booked with all these
bands and I learned they hate
541
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,200
everybody.
That's not them, right?
542
00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:37,200
They thought he was like one of
their brothers.
543
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:42,160
And the rest of us, they wanted
to fucking kill like long hairs.
544
00:31:42,160 --> 00:31:43,000
We hate you.
I was.
545
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:45,600
Like Jesus, man, it was
interesting, man.
546
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,000
So when I opened the door, right
and she was there and, and, and
547
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,480
we engaged a little bit in
conversation and then I kind of
548
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,560
I got her number and I was kind
of poking her to go out.
549
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,280
She blew me off, blew me off
because I didn't know at the
550
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,440
time, but her dad was in town.
So then we ended up going out on
551
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:01,680
our first date, February 19th.
And then we ended up getting
552
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:05,240
married a year of the day.
So I met her in December.
553
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:08,440
She blew me off.
I thought she we our first date,
554
00:32:08,440 --> 00:32:10,800
we talked marriage and shit
because it was just, we just
555
00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,680
knew, right.
And, you know, 30 years later,
556
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:18,520
you know, where we get along
really well, We don't, we don't
557
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,720
argue.
People don't, don't really grasp
558
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,400
that concept.
We don't, we were just opposite
559
00:32:24,400 --> 00:32:27,920
enough to work, you know, And
it's just like, you know, we've
560
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:29,880
been together that long.
I'm 55, she's 50.
561
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,560
So we've pretty much been with
each other more, more than half
562
00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:34,400
our lives.
And it's just, I mean, it's we
563
00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:35,920
still, it's still like a
honeymoon, man.
564
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:37,880
We still love each other.
We're still in love with each
565
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:38,680
other.
It's not.
566
00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:42,240
And I think due to me, that's
the part that is the most
567
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:47,080
appealing to like your situation
because so many people just play
568
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,480
fucking games.
And that's something that I was
569
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,400
never willing to do, right?
I only had that one time in my
570
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,760
life and I fucked that up.
So I have myself to blame for
571
00:32:56,760 --> 00:32:59,640
that.
But that part is I admire you
572
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:01,920
guys for that.
The fact that you don't argue,
573
00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:05,160
that you work things out, that
it's just that's so appealing.
574
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,160
That doesn't happen a lot.
Yeah, we have.
575
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,960
We don't.
We don't 100% agree on
576
00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,560
everything but but we don't the
only time.
577
00:33:11,560 --> 00:33:15,480
That's a different story than
having like not not.
578
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,400
We were screaming at each other.
You.
579
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,880
Know yeah, we only really had
one of those and that was the
580
00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:23,600
the day before I stopped
drinking because I'm 20 years
581
00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,920
sober too Tremont.
So the day before we stopped
582
00:33:26,920 --> 00:33:31,400
drinking, we had that that just
major blow up and I woke up and
583
00:33:31,400 --> 00:33:33,800
like something's got to change
and thank you.
584
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:38,480
So I you know, I changed and
we're still together to this day
585
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:39,760
because of that.
So I don't think we would have
586
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:41,760
been had I not changed had I not
woken up.
587
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,920
There's no way because she was
already after sober Chris came
588
00:33:45,920 --> 00:33:48,400
to light and I could be talked
to and reason with and I wasn't
589
00:33:48,880 --> 00:33:51,200
I wasn't an asshole drunk,
meaning I wasn't, you know,
590
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:54,360
violent or I just wasn't there
emotionally.
591
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:57,360
You know, I I remember one one
of the stories I tell so people
592
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,640
can grasp that when Christmas I
I got her diamond earrings.
593
00:34:00,640 --> 00:34:02,800
I'm just I tossed the matter in
the living room.
594
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:05,600
I was like Merry Christmas and
walked out of the room, you
595
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:09,800
know, kind of like just a total
Dick move, you know, but, but
596
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,639
that's how I, that's what the
alcohol did to me.
597
00:34:11,639 --> 00:34:13,760
It just made me not be there
emotionally.
598
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,440
I was there as a vessel.
And you know, I mean, I was a
599
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,920
deck, but I wasn't, I wasn't
verbally abusive, wasn't
600
00:34:18,920 --> 00:34:20,679
physically abusive.
I still paid the bills.
601
00:34:20,679 --> 00:34:22,040
I still did my job.
I you know.
602
00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:24,960
You were like zombie Chris.
Yeah, it just, it wasn't.
603
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:28,679
It wasn't something Chris.
It wasn't the best.
604
00:34:29,159 --> 00:34:31,080
Yeah, that's a good way to
explain it, though.
605
00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:32,239
It wasn't.
It wasn't well.
606
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,719
That's how I described myself
when I went through my addiction
607
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:38,960
was, you know, there's bits and
pieces of it I remember
608
00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:41,719
wholeheartedly, but there's
things people tell me that I'm
609
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,920
like, really?
I I did that, you know.
610
00:34:45,199 --> 00:34:48,000
Yeah, yeah.
And again, I mean, I, you know,
611
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,360
I can't imagine my life without
her.
612
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,520
So it's that's, that's the
grateful of the one of the great
613
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,000
most grateful moments of my life
is waking up that next day and
614
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:57,640
realizing, oh shit, something's
got to change, you know, and it
615
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,960
did.
So I'm still here and we're
616
00:34:59,960 --> 00:35:03,760
still together and we have two
adult grown kids that, you know,
617
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,760
are very well adjusted.
And, you know, there's our our
618
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,640
son struggles a little bit with
trying to find what we have
619
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:12,960
because what we have, my wife
and I was, I think is so rare
620
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,840
because we are so opposite,
right?
621
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,560
And, and because we are so
opposite, it works.
622
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,120
And the yin Yang that we have
and we bring the table.
623
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,280
It's just, you know, it's, it's
just a cool thing, man.
624
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:26,880
There's nothing like it.
So you got 29 years to catch up
625
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:30,280
there, Dramont?
Here's a secret.
626
00:35:30,280 --> 00:35:33,360
Here's a secret for you.
Get your own comforters.
627
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:34,720
Have.
Separate comforters, what's up?
628
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,760
Yeah, yeah, get get your own
comforters.
629
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,400
If you have your own comforter,
you have a happier life.
630
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,680
You get a comforter.
She gets a comforter because I
631
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:49,720
sleep hot, she sleeps cold.
So therefore I'm not pulling at
632
00:35:49,720 --> 00:35:51,960
her blanket and comforter.
She's not pulling at mine.
633
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,920
That is genius.
You're still in the same bed,
634
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,240
mind.
You never heard, you just.
635
00:35:56,240 --> 00:35:57,600
Have your own sheet and
comforter.
636
00:35:58,720 --> 00:36:00,200
They're genius, dude.
It really.
637
00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,360
Is that's money right there?
Because you can cuddle before,
638
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,000
right?
You go to bed, you wake up, she
639
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:06,760
can just come over and cuddle
you in the morning.
640
00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:10,880
But you still have your own
environment of comfort, see?
641
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,520
I love it, I really do.
That's genius.
642
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
A lot of people don't realize
643
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:19,960
that when anybody asks for
marriage, you buy something like
644
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:25,160
#1 separate comforters.
It works straight up.
645
00:36:25,400 --> 00:36:29,120
OK, I'll keep that in mind.
Yeah, I'll keep.
646
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,160
That in mind, 'cause no, we
definitely have hard.
647
00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,800
Times it's more so my snoring,
but.
648
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:36,680
Yeah, well, that's that's that's
what I'm saying.
649
00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:38,440
So, but but talk to your wife
first.
650
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:39,680
Don't just show up with a new
comforter.
651
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,640
Honey, this is yours.
Because to be like what?
652
00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:44,880
This is how things are going to
be now.
653
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:51,360
No, no, no.
That's true, yeah.
654
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,080
You know, because you, I mean
you because when you're sleeping
655
00:36:55,080 --> 00:36:56,920
right, you sleep your body
temperature different than your
656
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,640
wife when you sleep right.
That's why I say it's genius.
657
00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:02,880
Yeah, because, because if your
wife's like my wife, man, she's
658
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,760
always cold.
It could be, it could be ninety
659
00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,680
120° outside.
I got thermostat set 78 inside
660
00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,000
and she's going and she's going
to blanket.
661
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,360
Like really?
She's always cold.
662
00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:15,200
Oh, yeah, See, she's the one
that's always hot.
663
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,640
Has to make sure we turn there.
Turn there.
664
00:37:18,080 --> 00:37:19,080
So there you go.
No, we're good.
665
00:37:20,360 --> 00:37:22,800
See, but there you go then.
So she, she gets your own
666
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:25,000
comfort, gets your own comfort.
So that way you can.
667
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,200
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We got a fan.
668
00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:29,600
We got a fan and we got a fan.
We got a fan up top and a fan.
669
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,120
But the fan's more for white
noise, right?
670
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:33,600
You got to have that white noise
when you're sleeping, you know,
671
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:35,040
you got to have something going
on.
672
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:37,160
Of course, you live in
California, so you just open
673
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,560
your window.
You got white noise, I'm sure.
674
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,520
Oh yeah, no, we had.
Yeah, we have to keep our
675
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:49,840
windows shut because we hear all
the ambient noise of everywhere
676
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:52,920
around us.
I honestly I've become a fan of
677
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:58,880
like quiet quiet.
You would love it here.
678
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,520
Here's here's here's a question
for you because you're.
679
00:38:03,760 --> 00:38:05,240
In Arizona.
Where, where?
680
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:08,400
Where do you live in relation?
Yeah, I live in Arizona.
681
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,640
Where do you live in relation to
where all the fires were?
682
00:38:11,720 --> 00:38:17,400
The fires have just went down.
Farmer moved.
683
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:20,920
I'm in Long Beach.
So the fires happened.
684
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:24,920
OK, OK.
Palos Verdes.
685
00:38:25,280 --> 00:38:28,000
Yeah, I think it was.
Was it Palos Verdes?
686
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,360
Yeah, It's it was far enough.
Far enough.
687
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,600
We got the smoke.
OK, but we didn't get any.
688
00:38:36,280 --> 00:38:39,560
Yeah, OK, that's good.
We've been to Long Beach.
689
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:41,560
Long Beach is cool.
We've been all up and down
690
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:44,480
those, you know, coastal cities
and stuff.
691
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:51,080
How close are you to the beach?
What's been your favorite 5
692
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:54,880
minutes from the from the beach?
Like driving really like we
693
00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,440
really want to go to the beach.
It's about 5 five to 10 down the
694
00:38:58,440 --> 00:38:59,480
street.
Nice.
695
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,080
That's not bad.
My wife would probably say La
696
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:07,280
Jolla is her favorite.
We've been Redondo, Long Beach,
697
00:39:07,800 --> 00:39:09,280
Mission Beach.
I have.
698
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,760
I have friends that live in
Mission Beach that I've, I've
699
00:39:11,760 --> 00:39:13,840
worked with in the valley that
they live there, bought
700
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:18,520
investment properties here.
We ran a 5K Redondo Beach during
701
00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:19,840
the 4th of July weekend, which
is fun.
702
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:25,880
And we're runners.
I mean, they're kind of all the
703
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,360
same from from my vantage point,
you know what I mean?
704
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,600
It's just beachfront property
and it's, you know, you know,
705
00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,000
it's cool going and hanging out
on the beach and just, you know,
706
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:37,560
my son's in Camp Pendleton.
He's a Marine.
707
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,160
So he was in San Diego at MCRD,
now he's in Pendleton.
708
00:39:41,680 --> 00:39:43,600
They actually have, we learned
this, they actually have their
709
00:39:43,600 --> 00:39:47,800
own beachfront garages that you
can rent as military personnel
710
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:49,200
and family.
We were trying to do that, but
711
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:51,480
they were booked out.
We didn't do it soon enough, but
712
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,360
you legit, you're like, it's on
the beach in Pendleton.
713
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,080
That's awesome.
It's like a little studio
714
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:58,920
apartment.
And you open the door, there's
715
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:00,720
the.
Patio and then there's the
716
00:40:00,720 --> 00:40:04,880
beach, there's the water, yeah,
yeah, 'cause Pendleton's huge
717
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:08,240
man Camp Pendleton, that's Oh
yeah, that's that real estate
718
00:40:08,240 --> 00:40:12,040
there, that's.
That's the largest gathering of
719
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,320
military presence in the United
States, for sure.
720
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:16,480
It might be in the world.
Oh.
721
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,880
Pendleton, OH.
Really just that whole area, San
722
00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,520
Diego and Pendleton, and I think
there's 60,000 of them.
723
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:28,200
Oh wow.
Oh yeah, don't fuck around down
724
00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:30,440
there.
Your friends are your friends
725
00:40:30,440 --> 00:40:33,360
are Marine right now.
Oh, he was.
726
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:38,640
No, he's ex Marine.
Yeah, he was.
727
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:44,600
This was what, 2005 through?
Yeah, he served.
728
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,840
I think he served 2 terms I
believe.
729
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:51,920
Right on.
That's cool.
730
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:55,280
Right on.
All right.
731
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,440
So we got about 15 minutes or so
left.
732
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:58,600
And this is the Chris and Mike
show.
733
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:03,360
This is Tremont Turner, author,
actor, thespian and brand
734
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:07,000
ambassador and owner of LED
Dance Floors.
735
00:41:09,760 --> 00:41:13,600
Very nice.
What's what's what's something
736
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:15,360
else you want to talk about?
Where we where we still got some
737
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,200
time here to be my friend.
You're welcome.
738
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:24,440
Yeah.
Oh, let's see, let's see, let's
739
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:27,800
talk about the craziness of AI
right now.
740
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:31,520
I don't know if you guys have
seen, I know just kind of like
741
00:41:31,680 --> 00:41:35,000
way off subject but this
randomly.
742
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:36,640
No, it's not on my mind, man.
We just.
743
00:41:37,120 --> 00:41:39,000
Talked about the Google fail
thing.
744
00:41:42,400 --> 00:41:45,000
Yeah, no, AI is insane.
Did you just did you see that?
745
00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:50,360
Did you see that thing somebody
made with Diddy and, and what's
746
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:54,800
the dude Epstein and all those
Bill Cosby and stuff?
747
00:41:54,800 --> 00:41:56,480
Dude, it looks legit.
They're in prison.
748
00:41:56,720 --> 00:41:58,760
They're they're in prison eating
pizza.
749
00:41:59,160 --> 00:42:02,080
Diddy and and and and Epstein
are hugging.
750
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:05,600
They do some kissing.
They they feeding you Bill
751
00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,880
Cosby's and they're feeding each
other chocolate pudding because
752
00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:09,360
of his jello commercials and
shit.
753
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:14,680
Dude, it looks so real, Tremont.
It's freaking scary, man.
754
00:42:15,200 --> 00:42:18,160
It's like you don't there's,
there's no way you can tell like
755
00:42:18,160 --> 00:42:19,960
we're we're actually, I'm
actually AI.
756
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:22,040
I'm not real.
I'm actually sleeping in the
757
00:42:22,040 --> 00:42:24,600
other room.
This is all coming as a as an
758
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:27,400
image from my brain.
It's a whole new thing that
759
00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:29,560
we're working with with Bill
Gates, who's going to take over
760
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:33,240
the world.
We got this down to a science.
761
00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:36,680
It could be.
It very well could be.
762
00:42:37,040 --> 00:42:41,160
Honest, but it's insane, right?
Nowadays you can make an entire
763
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:47,040
podcast without you being there
for real for real, right?
764
00:42:47,720 --> 00:42:49,160
There's so many different
things.
765
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,360
We literally cover 2000 miles of
the country right now.
766
00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:56,080
No, it's insane dude, it's
insane.
767
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,000
I use this app called cap cut
for on captions for making
768
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:05,440
videos and and that platform
yes, let you create your own AI
769
00:43:05,440 --> 00:43:08,880
twin, which I was like that's
just weird man.
770
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,640
That's just, you know, just it's
freaky, dude.
771
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:15,680
It's freaky.
We're getting, we're getting
772
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:18,160
Terminator world.
You know, we're getting Matrix
773
00:43:18,160 --> 00:43:19,280
world.
It's coming.
774
00:43:19,360 --> 00:43:23,560
If you're not ready, like you
probably don't have quick.
775
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,480
Do you have quick, quick trips
in California?
776
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,640
QTI don't remember with that
convenience store.
777
00:43:29,960 --> 00:43:35,480
Quick trips, yeah.
Yeah, they're red.
778
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,000
I don't think so, but I'm
guessing like a 711.
779
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:43,560
So, OK, OK, so yeah, basically
we were, my wife and I, We had
780
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:46,680
to go to Tucson because I have a
listing down there, and we went
781
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:49,920
to the QuikTrip.
There was a robot cleaning the
782
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:52,600
floor, and it was telling you.
Thank you for stopping into
783
00:43:52,600 --> 00:43:54,320
QuikTrip.
I hope you have a nice day.
784
00:43:54,720 --> 00:43:56,280
Please excuse me when I cleaned
the floor.
785
00:43:56,680 --> 00:43:58,560
Oh, hello.
I'm cleaning the floor right
786
00:43:58,560 --> 00:44:00,040
now.
Would you please excuse me?
787
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:01,560
Oh, thank you for shopping
QuikTrip.
788
00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:05,200
Have a nice day.
I had blinking eyes.
789
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:08,640
The eyes would blink.
It's about 3 feet tall, just
790
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:10,560
kind of moving, maneuvering
around the floor.
791
00:44:12,440 --> 00:44:14,840
Shit's real, man.
It's yeah, it's.
792
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,480
Crazy.
Yeah, we have those automated 4
793
00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,680
cleaners at work.
I'm convinced that it all
794
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:24,800
started with the Roomba.
That was the whole.
795
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,320
That's how Skynet essentially
started is with the Roomba.
796
00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:31,520
There you go, Skynet.
He knows.
797
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:35,440
He knows.
Yes, Roomba.
798
00:44:36,040 --> 00:44:38,760
And then you have like the
automated doors, chemtrails.
799
00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:39,840
Yeah.
Yes, guy.
800
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,520
Straight up man, I agree with
that.
801
00:44:42,520 --> 00:44:44,760
I we have we have a little
conspiracy theory.
802
00:44:44,760 --> 00:44:48,680
It's not like insane, but you
know, there's moments like, you
803
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,400
know it's like yeah I didn't
think about that though.
804
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,200
Roomba.
Roomba started it all man.
805
00:44:53,400 --> 00:44:55,160
Roomba manufactured you might be
right.
806
00:44:55,520 --> 00:44:57,320
Uh huh.
Cause.
807
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:00,400
Yeah, I mean, think about it,
OK?
808
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,000
It started as Roomba.
Nothing.
809
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:11,320
The job was to get better at
cleaning, sucking up the floor.
810
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:13,600
That's literally where it
started.
811
00:45:13,920 --> 00:45:17,680
And its job is just to get
better and better and better
812
00:45:17,920 --> 00:45:22,000
when it eventually cleans humans
off the face of the Earth.
813
00:45:24,920 --> 00:45:30,760
Someday it will have its own
museum, and the Roomba will be
814
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,840
the Grand Poobah of them all.
Yeah.
815
00:45:35,040 --> 00:45:37,240
Have you, have you seen that?
Movie It all started with a
816
00:45:37,240 --> 00:45:39,800
lowly floor cleaner.
Yeah, have you seen the movie
817
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,280
Wally?
Yeah, Wally.
818
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,800
Yeah, that's where we're headed.
That's where we're headed.
819
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,760
Absolutely.
Yeah, 'cause you got Grubhub.
820
00:45:46,760 --> 00:45:49,280
Like I forget if it was you and
I talking about this mic or
821
00:45:49,280 --> 00:45:52,680
somebody else, but you literally
right now, oh, I think it was
822
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:56,120
Nate when we were on the last
show you, you literally were
823
00:45:56,120 --> 00:45:58,680
conditioned as humans now just
to sit in her ass and do nothing
824
00:45:58,720 --> 00:46:00,760
because your food can be
delivered, your house can be
825
00:46:00,760 --> 00:46:04,040
cleaned, you can work remotely
now you can sit of a in front of
826
00:46:04,040 --> 00:46:07,080
a computer 8 hours a day and
just do whatever job you do.
827
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,040
And then your food comes to the
door.
828
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,200
So all you got to do really is
get up and walk to the door to
829
00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:14,520
get your food right?
And you go sit down and eat your
830
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:17,200
food and you get up and throw it
away and you go back and I sit
831
00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:20,120
down like it's big.
We're creating a sedentary
832
00:46:20,120 --> 00:46:22,720
lifestyle for people.
And that's why it's just going
833
00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:23,480
to.
It's going to.
834
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:27,240
Yeah.
It's just, you know, it's bad.
835
00:46:28,320 --> 00:46:30,520
It's bad.
We don't have to hunt and gather
836
00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,840
anymore, it can all be
delivered.
837
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:36,720
No, right?
That's it right there.
838
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:41,120
See, here's a man who's done
some further education into the
839
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,160
reality of life, for sure.
I can tell, yes.
840
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,120
You don't get that.
Educated matrix.
841
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:50,000
School or college, you get that
education from looking for
842
00:46:50,000 --> 00:46:52,720
yourself for sure.
Well, he is Tremont Turner, you
843
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:55,680
know, actor, thespian, writer
and entrepreneur.
844
00:46:56,240 --> 00:46:57,920
So you.
Have No, I just appreciate that
845
00:46:57,920 --> 00:47:00,640
because I hear that that's a
different language that you
846
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:03,520
don't hear from people when they
say no longer hunters and
847
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:04,800
gatherers.
That's so true.
848
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:08,600
People don't realize that the
way we act is because of our
849
00:47:08,600 --> 00:47:12,000
DNA.
Yeah, yeah, they're hunting on
850
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,880
their Amazon.
Oh, what can I find today?
851
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,720
Yes, that's hunting.
Hunting for gathering is gather
852
00:47:17,720 --> 00:47:20,960
the package, Gather the package.
I mean my packages.
853
00:47:21,720 --> 00:47:25,600
On top of it you could also
think about it like we don't
854
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:31,800
even, we eat whatever just
'cause we're bored now.
855
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:36,920
Like before we used to yes, have
to starve for X amount.
856
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:39,480
Of we'd go days or always
fasting, yes, uh huh.
857
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,640
Yep.
Yeah, and that was normal.
858
00:47:42,760 --> 00:47:45,560
And like when you were a kid,
like probably the same, right?
859
00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,720
And when you were a kid, you get
kicked out of the house when it
860
00:47:47,720 --> 00:47:51,880
was summer break, go play, like
get out of the house, go figure
861
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:53,400
out something to do, go fend for
yourself.
862
00:47:53,400 --> 00:47:55,120
And you come back home when
you're hungry, have lunch and
863
00:47:55,120 --> 00:47:58,160
then go back out and play.
You know, St. lights start come
864
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:01,680
down, you come back home,
especially being in in Gary, IN,
865
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,200
because Gary, IN is small,
right?
866
00:48:03,200 --> 00:48:06,200
There's a population.
Well, it's surrounded by
867
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:07,840
Chicago.
Oh, is it?
868
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:12,960
Yeah, yeah, Chicago was the
nearest, like big, big city kind
869
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:13,720
of thing.
OK.
870
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:18,200
If you wanted a really good
time, a bunch of different
871
00:48:18,200 --> 00:48:21,200
things, Chicago is where you go.
It's big enough.
872
00:48:21,240 --> 00:48:23,680
It's it's not like where I live.
OK.
873
00:48:24,520 --> 00:48:27,920
Oh, you just 60 it's.
A It's a It's big as far as
874
00:48:28,560 --> 00:48:32,080
geographically, just not.
OK.
875
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,000
People aren't moving thicker
like that.
876
00:48:35,000 --> 00:48:38,200
OK.
Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
877
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:40,720
Not a sought after destination.
Gotcha.
878
00:48:40,720 --> 00:48:43,000
So, so let's go back to your,
your acting.
879
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:45,680
Have you have you gotten any
roles since you've been in
880
00:48:45,680 --> 00:48:53,400
California?
I've done a couple of smaller
881
00:48:53,400 --> 00:48:58,200
like commercials.
I did this one for Yammy by it
882
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:09,960
was kind of a it was for a
Japanese or Chinese E E shopping
883
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,880
website.
I did a insurance commercial
884
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,240
trying to think few stuff here
and there and I've done
885
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:25,240
background work a lot.
That's that's definitely
886
00:49:25,240 --> 00:49:27,960
plentiful out here.
Background work.
887
00:49:28,040 --> 00:49:32,040
You can get that very easy.
Yeah, like being an SO being an
888
00:49:32,040 --> 00:49:34,240
extra for those that are so
those don't understand that's
889
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:36,200
being an extra.
Like you're behind the scenes of
890
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,200
the scene that's being shot.
Cool.
891
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:40,920
Right on.
Have you?
892
00:49:41,040 --> 00:49:43,400
Have you been?
There you've been like, Oh my
893
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:47,840
God.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
894
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,840
Oh, there's Tremont I see.
Tremont, I see.
895
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:54,840
Him, he acts so surprised.
Oh yeah, that's literally how it
896
00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:56,040
is.
Let's see if you weren't
897
00:49:56,040 --> 00:49:58,200
married, there's a.
Scene in the.
898
00:49:58,440 --> 00:50:00,960
Yeah, see if you were.
Right.
899
00:50:04,200 --> 00:50:09,640
Scene in the what?
There's a scene in the movie
900
00:50:09,640 --> 00:50:13,560
Don't Worry Darling where you
can clearly see me at this,
901
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:16,120
where they're gathering outside
the pool.
902
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:19,920
And I had people hit me up like,
oh, my God, I saw you on Don't
903
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,160
Worry Darling.
Or was that you or Don't Worry
904
00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:23,240
Darling?
Yeah.
905
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:26,680
OK, that's awesome.
OK.
906
00:50:26,720 --> 00:50:28,840
And that's on Netflix?
Not right now, isn't it?
907
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:31,680
Yes.
Cool.
908
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,200
All right, I'm going to watch.
Don't worry, we're going to.
909
00:50:33,200 --> 00:50:35,280
Watch so I remember it being on
HBO and it's.
910
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:39,560
Yeah.
Oh, maybe it's on Max.
911
00:50:39,640 --> 00:50:40,480
Real.
Maybe it's on Max.
912
00:50:40,480 --> 00:50:43,000
Yeah, OK.
Don't blink though all.
913
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:44,480
Right, cool, I'm going to check
it out man.
914
00:50:47,800 --> 00:50:50,240
And it's still cool man.
See, if you weren't married that
915
00:50:50,240 --> 00:50:51,480
could be a pick up.
That's awesome.
916
00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:53,600
That could be a pick up line if
you weren't married, you know,
917
00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:54,880
in little clubs.
Hey, man, how are you?
918
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:56,360
I'm good, man.
You ever seen that movie?
919
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,480
Don't Worry, Darling.
Yeah, well, I was in that.
920
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:00,280
Oh my God.
Really.
921
00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,400
And then that's it.
That's your hook, man, You.

00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:05,760
Know well we were all wrong

movie called Cashing Out that
I'm in.
933
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:36,920
Cashing out, OK.
Look for cashing out.
934
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:46,000
And.
See if it's still on CASHIN

Right on, dude.
Cool.
946
00:52:37,360 --> 00:52:39,640
Yeah, of course we're going to
stick a stick, a fork in it
947
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,560
because I got to get out of, I
got to get out of Dodge.
948
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:45,160
But we need, we need to have you
back on Tremont because I mean,
949
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,080
