Barry Price (4:33): Okay, great. Yeah, I actually got into this a little late in my life in my, in my, mid thirties and, so it's been like thirty years already and,

Unknown Speaker (4:42): I'm not 60 years old.

Unknown Speaker (4:44): I'm, I'll be 63 in a

Unknown Speaker (4:46): couple I call bullshit. Call bullshit. You're not supposed to say that.

Unknown Speaker (4:50): You look

Unknown Speaker (4:50): You're not supposed to say how old you are. We've had actors on the show from Beverly and they have to, they just, they talk about their acting range.

Unknown Speaker (4:57): I, you know, don't care people you play. Yeah. Doesn't bother me. I can I'm proud to be almost 63 years old.

Unknown Speaker (5:04): I know you dude.

Unknown Speaker (5:05): You don't look good at all,

Unknown Speaker (5:06): No.

Barry Price (5:07): You. Actually, I live a couple blocks from the ocean. So I went surfing today. I've been surfing for about fifty years And, a couple ads that I was in when I was younger helped me get involved in acting. So I did a couple print ads, did a couple, like I'm an amateur, so I did a couple videos, you know?

Barry Price (5:23): Okay. And so that kind of led into acting. And I lived in San Diego one winter because my son's mother remarried and they moved to San Diego. And I worked in La Jolla and the banquet part of La Jolla at the La Valencia. And after the holidays were over, I was starving and I was looking for work.

Barry Price (5:43): And, back then there was no cell phone. So I would look into Help Wanted ads in a newspaper every day. And I saw an ad agency in San Diego said, no experience necessary, print, commercials, whatever. And so I, I met with those guys and I spent my last $350 on black and white headshots.

Unknown Speaker (6:02): Right on.

Unknown Speaker (6:02): Nice Yeah. Here we are.

Unknown Speaker (6:04): That got,

Barry Price (6:05): that got the ball rolling. And then I came back to the East Coast and, and Virginia Beach is like an hour and a half north of me. And they did an interview with me in a small magazine, and that kind of led into acting. I saw an acting agency in that, and I called them and it's kind of got the ball rolling from there.

Mike (6:24): Nice. Are you originally from the East Coast, Barry? Is that why you went back?

Barry Price (6:28): Yeah, I'm from North Carolina, and so I'm a bartender. I've been bartending for thirty some years, and I'm still doing it. I'm one of the oldest bartenders on the beach, but

Unknown Speaker (6:37): Right on.

Barry Price (6:40): They, my, the restaurant I worked in asked me if I was coming back and, I said, I'm going to have to because I'm not making any money out here. So I ended up coming back.

Unknown Speaker (6:49): Dude, hate to interrupt you, but I've seen this episode of a haunting.

Unknown Speaker (6:53): Yeah. A Haunting.

Unknown Speaker (6:55): Would've never known in a million years that was you, but how cool is that?

Barry Price (6:59): Yeah. Do. Hair's a little bit greyer now. This is Monsters and Mysteries in America right Yeah. So Derek's Derek Bort directed that.

Barry Price (7:09): He's, he's, he's a director from Virginia Beach and he directs, Russell Crowe and a few movies. Wow. Yeah.

Chris (7:16): Okay. So why, why we were talking about you before you came on the show, with your, you know, you're not the only person that had technical difficulties, so don't worry about it. I saw a picture of you with Richard Gere. He was poking at your ear. What was that about?

Barry Price (7:29): Okay. So, 2007, I was surfing in Rodanthe. It's a little village south of me about fifty minutes. Some of the locals down there were like, did you hear about them? They're going to film a movie down here called Nights in Rodanthe.

Barry Price (7:44): I was like, no, I didn't hear about it. So I, I reached out to somebody else and they gave me the address where I could send a headshot and my resume to. So I sent my resume to them and my headshot and they called me back and said, Hey, are you free for a couple months this summer? I was like, could be. And I said, we we were trying to pick you to be the stand in and double for Richard Gere.

Unknown Speaker (8:07): Oh.

Barry Price (8:07): And can you come in and audition for it? And I said, yeah. Yeah. I could certainly do that. And I went to Manio, North Carolina where Richard Gere and Diane Lane, were were sitting in front of cameras.

Unknown Speaker (8:23): And I walked in, and they were sitting there. I was like, oh my god. There's Diane Lane and Richard Gere.

Unknown Speaker (8:27): Yeah. Yeah.

Barry Price (8:28): They asked me a few questions, this and that. Are you free? And then I said, yes. And then they picked me. So I, I was Richard Gere standing in double, for a couple months on nights of road dancing.

Barry Price (8:39): Wasn't a stunt double, but just double.

Chris (8:42): That's cool. That's awesome. Lane, that's one of my top three, you know, fuck, you know, what is it, hall pass with the wife.

Barry Price (8:50): Yeah, She was super sweet and Richard Gere was more standoffish, but he was pretty nice at the end there. He was busy. They were both very busy.

Chris (9:01): Yeah. Well, I don't doubt that. I could see him being kind of, you know, I don't know, standoffish, just, just that has the aura. His presence is kind of like that. Like, leave me alone.

Barry Price (9:11): Yeah. Yeah. He, he, he was like that. He, he talked to the ladies more than he did to guys.

Unknown Speaker (9:17): Well, I mean, he's Richard Gere. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (9:21): Know, know, guys gotta do what a guy's gotta do. That's right.

Unknown Speaker (9:24): Yeah. He's the gerbil.

Unknown Speaker (9:26): He's like, gotta learn my lines, man. I can't talk to you. Yeah. People gave me a hard time about the gerbil too thing. Yeah, they did.

Unknown Speaker (9:34): We were talking

Unknown Speaker (9:35): before the show. Mean, talking about the gerbil.

Mike (9:40): We were just talking about that, Barry. You could never get away with that nowadays, but it's something about that time back then where a story like that just caught fire man. And everybody heard it. It's so crazy.

Barry Price (9:53): Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I, I, they get my, my, my peers gave me a hard time about that.

Unknown Speaker (9:58): I can imagine. Actors are

Unknown Speaker (10:01): probably It's funny. Like Beverly's texting me right now. Thinking that hoping that I got one. I can't text her back.

Chris (10:05): Well, yeah. Cause yeah, cause well, I'll tell her. I'll tell her cause Beverly, Beverly, she reaches out to me all the time. Have one of her people on the show.

Unknown Speaker (10:12): She's like, we love Beverly.

Unknown Speaker (10:14): He there yet? So I give her updates and I'm like, you know, so she's just, she's the coolest person ever, man.

Unknown Speaker (10:20): Had worked is. For so I've been with her on the show fifteen years. I've been with her Yeah. Yeah. She's so good people.

Barry Price (10:28): I went to a, I went to a, an acting seminar in Raleigh wasn't a participant, I just was in the audience and I was right behind the judges. One of the judges, which was Beverly, turns around and goes, Who are you with? I go, Nobody. I'm just checking this out. And she gave me her card and from there on we had a relationship.

Unknown Speaker (10:49): It's the look, man.

Unknown Speaker (10:50): Yep. You

Chris (10:51): got, you, got a great It says legit. You have to watch the beginning of the show when it airs because we were talking about you behind your back. All positive. I like to, I like to scroll through photos of whoever we have on the show. We were going through your photos and

Unknown Speaker (11:06): you know,

Unknown Speaker (11:06): you had, yeah, you got some, you got a, you got a nice, you got a nice range of looks, it all ties back, it all ties back to you, which is cool. I mean, the eyes give you away. Well, thanks.

Unknown Speaker (11:17): It helps me, you know, this look goes against me sometimes too, you guys.

Unknown Speaker (11:20): Really? So?

Barry Price (11:21): Yeah. Sometimes it does. How so? Beverly just sent me a script for a movie in, Kentucky. And, I just started reading it today before I got on with you guys.

Barry Price (11:30): So she sent me to your audition. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (11:32): Nice.

Barry Price (11:33): I'm grateful, very grateful to you guys too.

Chris (11:36): How does it work against you in some cases?

Unknown Speaker (11:39): I don't know. Maybe my eyes are too blue or maybe my hair gray or maybe I'm not tall enough or maybe, you know, yeah, kind of goes against you sometimes.

Mike (11:48): Do you feel like you get typecast into any certain roles? Cause we've encountered that where actors will say, you know, I keep getting cast in this certain kind of role and I'm trying to break out of it.

Barry Price (11:58): Yeah, I believe so. I mean, I'm cast, I mean, in the past, when you have some of the videos you see me on and everything, cast as a businessman, a husband, a doctor, a lawyer.

Unknown Speaker (12:11): Chris nailed the doctor.

Unknown Speaker (12:12): Yeah, I did that. I

Barry Price (12:13): said Yeah. Things like that, you know? So yeah, I've played a bad guy once or twice. I did a bad guy on a thing called, Death by Gossip. Kathy Williams, narrated it, but they fired her because she went cuckoo, you know?

Barry Price (12:28): But they only did one season of that. They dyed my beard black and my hair black, and I was one of the bad guys. And that was one of the funnest Thank roles I've ever

Chris (12:37): you. I've heard that from we had some other like we said, we've had some other Beverly's folks on. Know one guy, he's always gets typecast at bad guys. And I nowhere near what you and her clients have done. I years ago, I dabbled in the whole acting thing.

Chris (12:52): So when I played bad guys, it was a lot more fun than playing, you know, the boring, you know.

Unknown Speaker (12:57): Yeah, for real. I worked for bad guys for sure. Yeah.

Chris (13:00): Yeah. It's just, you know, there's more dynamic. You can be more creative. You can kind of just kind of branch out instead of being stuck in this box of like, I'm a father of two kids, you know? It's like, okay.

Unknown Speaker (13:11): Yeah. I'm a doctor. I'm a lawyer. I wanna do some cussing and some hitting and some. Yes.

Unknown Speaker (13:18): You. Do you wanna play

Mike (13:19): a polka or do you wanna play ACDC, you know?

Unknown Speaker (13:23): Oh, I'm ACDC all the way, man. You go. That's the

Mike (13:26): way I look at playing the husband versus playing the guy who's gonna kill the husband or whatever.

Unknown Speaker (13:31): You wanna be that guy,

Unknown Speaker (13:32): you know? I wanna,

Unknown Speaker (13:33): I wanna be that guy who's in there doing things.

Barry Price (13:35): It's getting better for me as I get older. I was a little green when I started because I'm not educated. I never went to a film school or theater or anything like that. I just kind of self taught through student films and independence and, short films and things like that.

Unknown Speaker (13:51): Cool. I bet that helps you more than it hurts you.

Barry Price (13:54): Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I, I fell in love with it. I mean, you know, it's like when I, when I did an extra work on, FBI files years ago and I saw the, you know, was just one of the sailors looking for the body in the creek. And, I, I got on set and it was on location in the country and I saw the cameras, I saw the wardrobe, I saw the actors, I saw the directors.

Unknown Speaker (14:15): I was like, dude, this is killer. Wanna know more about this stuff. Know, I wanted to beat that guy over there, you know?

Unknown Speaker (14:20): Yep. Yeah. That's cool. Really So thirty years, so thirty years doing this.

Barry Price (14:27): It's been an It's been an I'm still striving, striving for more, you know, striving for better roles.

Unknown Speaker (14:33): Oh yeah. Well, yeah. So how many things have, do you know how many, how many roles you've had over those thirty years?

Barry Price (14:39): I've done a lot of print. Done a lot commercials. And you know, the TV thing is, is something that, that I'm trying to, for some reason I've been doing tons and tons of auditions from my house, sending self tapes in, but I just can't get picked on some of these bigger, bigger roles. Know, I've, I've auditioned for a couple of soap operas. Got a callback on one with zoom and I didn't get it and things like that.

Barry Price (15:06): So, but I'm not giving up. Have nothing to lose. I have nothing to lose. I'm not giving up.

Unknown Speaker (15:10): It's like the lottery. You can't win if you don't play. If you don't keep trying, they're never, you know, they're not just gonna not same thing in the music business. Nobody's gonna knock on your door and say, Hey, do you want a record contract?

Unknown Speaker (15:20): I know. That's right.

Unknown Speaker (15:21): I know got happened work. Ever. Absolutely.

Unknown Speaker (15:23): You have to work for

Unknown Speaker (15:24): So you totally have the right attitude, man. It's it's cool. You got a smile on your face as you're saying you got rejected.

Unknown Speaker (15:30): Thanks, Gospel.

Unknown Speaker (15:33): All I do is I

Barry Price (15:34): serve people. My wife and I have an Airbnb on the bottom level of our home, so we're getting busier. We rent that out, we manage that, and we clean it, and then we work for somebody else. And semi man is their Airbnb and we clean that too. So one minute I'm doing a commercial, one minute I'm bartending and one minute I'm cleaning toilets and showers and bathrooms and, and kitchens.

Barry Price (15:56): So that's the way God humbles you, man. He you under His thumb, you know?

Chris (15:59): Oh yeah. Yeah. That's cool. What's your wife do?

Unknown Speaker (16:03): She cleans Airbnb.

Unknown Speaker (16:04): Oh, okay. Okay. That's okay. Cool. Cool.

Chris (16:07): Right on. So you, well, so you're making money on the lower half of your property then. That's kind of cool.

Barry Price (16:12): Yeah, we are. It's helping us. And, but in the wintertime it's extremely, because in the winter it's extremely slow here because I'm in a resort, a beach area on one of outer banks of North Carolina. It's busy now and it's slow in the wintertime.

Chris (16:25): Okay. Okay. Yeah. So who's the most, the most famous person you've ever done anything with?

Barry Price (16:34): Hang on. Well, Richard Gere and Diane Lane for one thing. Then, you know, James, James Franco was on that set too.

Unknown Speaker (16:40): Yeah. Well

Barry Price (16:42): Yeah. He wasn't very nice though. I guess he was in his, he was in his character. So he, he really, I stood in for him too, but he didn't talk to me. He was younger then, he was pretty cocky.

Barry Price (16:53): Who else? I did extra work on George Clooney's film, The Leatherheads, years ago in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Unknown Speaker (17:01): Oh yeah, remember that movie. John Krasinski was in that too, right?

Unknown Speaker (17:05): Yes, God. And George Clooney, when he walked through where I was like, oh my God, it's George Clooney. And by that time I'd already done, nights and red dancing with Richard Gere, but George Clooney was super, super cool. Was like a cool cat. He talked to people.

Barry Price (17:22): He stopped and talked and he was just super cool, man. He was cool as hell.

Unknown Speaker (17:26): That's good

Unknown Speaker (17:26): to know. Because you, you like to hear

Unknown Speaker (17:28): that stuff. Renee Zelllager was on that, shoot too. And she said hello to everybody too. She was super nice.

Chris (17:35): Was that before or after the plastic surgery debacle?

Unknown Speaker (17:38): Oh, way before man. Way

Unknown Speaker (17:39): before. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Like,

Unknown Speaker (17:41): I don't Yes. You don't know to look like yourself anymore.

Unknown Speaker (17:43): It's Yeah. There it is.

Unknown Speaker (17:45): There's the Richard Gere and the Barry Price moment.

Barry Price (17:47): Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He goes whispering in my ear. So he's like, you ever tried the gerbil?

Unknown Speaker (17:52): You ever tried the gerbil? I love it. Did

Unknown Speaker (17:59): he really say that?

Unknown Speaker (18:00): No, no. Because that would

Unknown Speaker (18:02): be funny as hell, man. Would be funny No, as

Barry Price (18:05): no. Didn't mean to say anything. He was just like, Hey man, hold still for a second. I was like, okay. All

Unknown Speaker (18:11): right. Hey, you're Richard here.

Unknown Speaker (18:13): But, those are the only ones I can really think of. I'm trying to think of who else.

Chris (18:18): It's nice that George Clooney's cool. Cause you, that's one of those people that you look at, you kind of think he's going go one way or the other. He's going be either be a super fucking asshole or he's going be like the salt of the earth, but maybe part of that's because it was Rosemary Clooney was his, was his mother or grandmother or something that was

Unknown Speaker (18:32): something like that. She was a singer or something like Yeah.

Chris (18:36): But she was like really revered as somebody in the industry. And he started as Facts of Right. He started when he was young. He started as Facts of Life. Remember that?

Barry Price (18:46): I do. Yeah. Absolutely. But he was directing that film, so he was just super nice. Was

Unknown Speaker (18:52): That's cool.

Barry Price (18:53): He directed it and was also the lead, but he was just, like, really nice, like, really cool. Really cool.

Chris (18:59): So I've always wondered about this. You may not be able to answer the question, though, but from an actor who is directing and acting in it, how how hard is that?

Barry Price (19:09): Oh, I was watching him. He looked pretty tough. You know? I mean, he he he's gotta put trust in the in the in the the DP, you know, the in the in the director of photography and the next director down from him, he's got to put trust in them so he can direct them on directing him and he'll get in front of the camera, you know, and then he gets behind the camera. Yeah, I think it's pretty difficult from what I hear, you know?

Chris (19:34): Everything would be exhausting, man. Well, just

Unknown Speaker (19:37): said how hard it is. He has to teach them how to direct him.

Unknown Speaker (19:41): Like that's

Unknown Speaker (19:41): a whole another level.

Barry Price (19:43): Yeah. It's, it's, it's pretty bizarre, but it was fascinating watching that guy, you know? And it was fun watching Richard Gere work too, you know, him and Diane Yeah. And then Derek Bort, Derek Bort's kind of a famous director from Virginia Beach area and he's directed Russell Crowe a couple times. I've done like six things with him.

Barry Price (20:04): I just did part of a music video with him a month ago up in Virginia. I played a cop.

Chris (20:11): Are you on, are you on YouTube?

Unknown Speaker (20:14): I am.

Unknown Speaker (20:15): Okay. I'm gonna look you up.

Unknown Speaker (20:17): Yeah. I saw some of the, I saw some of the photos you flashed. It looks like some of that stuff was from YouTube. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (20:22): I grabbed it off your I, your, I am Yeah. Yeah.

Barry Price (20:27): So there's a performer who, it's called A Bad Think, and Derek Wortz directed a bunch of his music videos. I can't remember the name of the artist, but I think he's, it comes from some band, some famous band, but I don't recall who it is.

Unknown Speaker (20:49): Okay. But I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to find you on YouTube.

Unknown Speaker (20:54): Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (20:55): Barry Price actor real.

Unknown Speaker (20:58): Maybe that's it.

Chris (21:00): Oh, that's that's when we were watching earlier. Hold on.

Barry Price (21:05): Oh yeah. Tons, tons of commercials on there and things, I think few things.

Unknown Speaker (21:11): Yeah. So we can play this live because it's just a conversation.

Barry Price (21:14): So yeah, that's, that's my, that's my one minute reel right there, but I need to get a new one done. I've done a bunch

Unknown Speaker (21:21): of, I've done a bunch

Unknown Speaker (21:21): of, you think that was the guy she started to see? Maybe go ahead. I've done a bunch of public service announcements here on the Outer Banks too, Dare County and killed over Hills and Nags Head and Kitty Hawk and things like that. So

Mike (21:35): season of homicide hunter was that Barry?

Barry Price (21:39): That was a homicide hunter, with Joe Kendo when, somebody, a lady kidnapped a baby. I'm trying to remember the name of it. Can't remember

Mike (21:50): I'm the sure I've seen that one too. It's it's not ringing a bell yet, but I've seen almost all those too. I love that show.

Barry Price (21:56): Oh, this is a funny story about that. When I played a a major in the air force, whereas my captain was acting weird, so I go in to see the detectives. And my name, my character name was Major Jagger. And when I first walked into the room through the door, I introduced myself and I said, Hey, my name is Mick Jagger. I'm Major Jagger.

Unknown Speaker (22:23): And the main character who plays third Kenny's like, Hey man, relax, it's okay. I've done that before too. That's what was supposed to say. Hey, my name is Major, Major Jagger. Go, Hey, my name is Mick Jagger.

Unknown Speaker (22:34): That's funny, I couldn't believe I did that.

Unknown Speaker (22:38): Out and

Unknown Speaker (22:38): Yeah. Through with the stones,

Unknown Speaker (22:40): Yeah. For some reason, Mick Jagger was on my mind.

Unknown Speaker (22:43): That's hilarious.

Chris (22:44): Well, because the name, I could see how that would work. Yeah.

Barry Price (22:48): Mick Jagger, Major Jagger, whatever. Yeah.

Mike (22:50): Your brain's like, I'm supposed to say something here. Starts with an M and a J.

Barry Price (22:54): Yeah. It's that dyslexia going on there.

Mike (22:59): So how long does it take to film one of those? Cause they churn those ID shows out like they're going out of style. How long does it take to film one of those, like from your perspective?

Barry Price (23:09): That one, a haunting that I did that you guys saw, I was on set probably three or four days, maybe five days.

Unknown Speaker (23:20): Okay.

Barry Price (23:21): But, but it's not full days. Some days will be early in the morning. Some days will be all night or overnight. It all depends on, you know, how it works out with the hours from the day before. So,

Mike (23:30): then, They're good shows, but I figured they couldn't have put a whole lot of time into them because there's so many of them. I mean, ID goes twenty four hours a day, seven days a week.

Unknown Speaker (23:40): Yeah, they have to go fast. They have to go real, real fast, and you gotta be ready. You have to be ready for it. That puts a lot of pressure on you, so you gotta know your lines, you gotta be prepared, you gotta listen. You gotta listen to what's going on.

Barry Price (23:56): You gotta figure out where the camera is and things like that. So, but, I think it's fascinating. I love it.

Mike (24:02): With that said, you've been on a haunting and monsters and mysteries. Are you a believer in either one of those?

Unknown Speaker (24:10): Or you

Unknown Speaker (24:10): just did the show?

Barry Price (24:11): I just did the show and I'm not really a believer, you know, especially monsters and mysteries. Yeah. But I mean, people believe it, some people have seen it and they just reenact those stories.

Unknown Speaker (24:26): Yep.

Unknown Speaker (24:27): They're fun. They're fun to do.

Unknown Speaker (24:29): Oh, have mad.

Unknown Speaker (24:30): There's the bad guy right there. Yeah. Yeah. I remember step by dog. There you go.

Unknown Speaker (24:34): Right. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (24:35): That's a

Unknown Speaker (24:35): good look, man.

Unknown Speaker (24:37): Yeah. That was

Unknown Speaker (24:37): Do you throw this guy in the trunk of your car?

Unknown Speaker (24:41): Say again.

Unknown Speaker (24:42): Do you throw him in the trunk of your car?

Unknown Speaker (24:44): He did. I didn't. He did. Yeah. But I was looking, I was looking back at it to see if they were there.

Unknown Speaker (24:49): I was looking back there to see if he did a good job.

Speaker 3 (24:51): I was like, yeah, they're back

Unknown Speaker (24:52): there. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (24:58): I'm grateful you guys are having me. Appreciate it. I think I really appreciate

Unknown Speaker (25:01): I know. We appreciate you being

Unknown Speaker (25:03): here, man. That's why we do this is give people a platform to promote themselves and you know, we all grow That's

Unknown Speaker (25:10): popular. I'm gonna copy of this and I can put it on

Unknown Speaker (25:12): Oh social yeah!

Unknown Speaker (25:13): Oh yeah! Chris is gonna send you a bunch of reels and he'll send you the full episode. It's yours to do with what you want, man.

Unknown Speaker (25:21): Thank you. You. If you want to get ahold of Barry, there you go.

Barry Price (25:24): Yep. Absolutely. Absolutely.

Chris (25:27): Barry work. He's married, and women out there, so just relax. Absolutely. And boys,

Unknown Speaker (25:32): she's downstairs listening to me right now.

Unknown Speaker (25:35): What, dude? Tell her to go to chrismikeshow.com. She can watch it live.

Barry Price (25:40): I, I don't know. I think she's cooking.

Chris (25:44): Oh, That's, the cool thing about it. We do this, we're live right now on Twitch and we're actually almost in a 100 countries now, so that's the cool thing. You're being broadcast And, you know, in a couple of weeks you'll get all this stuff and then we'll actually drop the episode and I'll send you an email and you get all the Awesome. Things,

Barry Price (26:02): I hope people, you know, are entertained by this, you know, I really do.

Unknown Speaker (26:09): Well, go ahead, Mike. I think one of

Mike (26:12): the things that we're pretty adept at is finding people that have what Chris likes to call an interesting life's resume, right? Yeah, So not that's everybody got to be an actor. Not everybody got to be a musician and play with some of the biggest bands like him and I did. Mhmm.

Unknown Speaker (26:28): You know,

Mike (26:29): You and I and him have done things that people who went to work nine to five every day just never got to experience. Not that there's anything wrong with that. We just lived a different life, you know, and I think that's what people find appealing.

Barry Price (26:42): Yeah, I never went to college. I just barely got out of high school, but I've always been a hard worker. And my dad, my father, when he was alive, never really understood that because my siblings and I are all artists in our own little way, and then we all think outside the box, you know, and, and I just had to do it my own way. And, if he was alive, he'd be proud of me. My, my mom saw a lot of the things that I did.

Unknown Speaker (27:05): And, so she, she, she was proud of me.

Unknown Speaker (27:07): Just your

Mike (27:08): character. You know, like the way you present yourself, I, your parents would be proud of you. You have a very good aura even through a computer, you know? Yeah.

Barry Price (27:17): Well, thanks. I mean, when I was younger, you guys, I didn't talk. My, my Italian uncle thought something was wrong with me because I was very, very, very quiet. Was a thinker and I was quiet. And 30 of bartending just kinda that's my theater.

Barry Price (27:31): I never did theater, but bartending's my theater. Sure. Is. And that just got me out of my, you know, out of my, shyness. Was pretty shy growing up.

Unknown Speaker (27:40): Didn't talk much.

Unknown Speaker (27:41): Me too. Me too. Yeah. You know what? You know what's crazy about bartenders?

Chris (27:44): So my wife's a complete introvert, like legitimately. We've been together thirty one years, married thirty, and she's, she's slowly over this time pulled her out of that, that introversion that she is, but her, her gig, when we got married, she bartender and she, you, you, you put her behind the bar, man. You would swear to God. She was this complete extroverted person that was just

Unknown Speaker (28:06): I get it. I totally get I get it. Yeah. Action. There we go.

Barry Price (28:11): I met my wife at a bar I worked in twenty five years ago. Her and her wife, I'm sorry, her and her sister came in. I wasn't dating anyone at the time and neither was she, we hit it off and we've been together ever since. Yeah, bartending's theater. Mean, I tried to stop a few times in my life and do regular jobs, nine to five jobs, but it just doesn't work for me.

Barry Price (28:38): Yeah. Bartending, I'm good at it, it's the best thing I know, and it's great money, and it allows me to do this stuff too. They're flexible enough to let me leave when I get gigs and do this and things like that.

Chris (28:52): Well that's because then they have people come back to the show. I mean come back to the bar. Hey Barry's working tonight and then they come pick your brain about what you just did. Right?

Unknown Speaker (29:00): Exactly. Where have been, Barry?

Unknown Speaker (29:02): Have you been, Barry? Oh, I've been shooting this flick, man. Sitting I'll down with George

Unknown Speaker (29:08): go to work tomorrow and then people are going to be like, how come you weren't at work last night? I go, well, me tell you. Let me tell you what I just did in a podcast with Chris and Mike.

Unknown Speaker (29:17): Who the fuck is Chris and Mike?

Unknown Speaker (29:21): Read, I read you guys. I read your resume, you know, and, and I was getting kind of nervous. I was like, Oh my God, man, these guys have done some big stuff. I'm like, but you know, I'm a firm believer in just being myself. I'm just WesCELL.

Barry Price (29:36): That's awesome.

Chris (29:36): Yeah. That's we don't do interviews, man. That's why we don't look you up. We have no idea who you are, what you've done, because we want everything on the show to be the interactions and the reactions themselves to be real.

Unknown Speaker (29:50): That's pretty cool.

Chris (29:51): There's no faking what we're doing because, you know, you're here and everything you're telling us, it's right now.

Unknown Speaker (46:32): Terrified. Oh, me

Barry Price (46:34): But I've seen them. I've seen black tips out here. If you've seen bull sharks, a black tip really won't bother you. You see them like a couple 100 yards ahead of you. You could see the black tip, but you see porpoises all the time.

Unknown Speaker (46:45): You know, the difference between porpoises and porpoises do this, but sharks, sharks do this, you know, they do that. And then if you see a bull shark, get out of the water because they'll attack you. But I've seen a hammerhead across the street. I wasn't surfing, but I've seen a hammerhead at the end of the pier across the street in October, probably twenty five years ago.

Unknown Speaker (47:06): Wow. Like

Unknown Speaker (47:07): 14 foot long.

Mike (47:09): You've never had any problems while you're out there surfing with the sharks?

You'll feel something on your, on your leg and you don't know if it's a fish or a flounder or, or if it's a, you know, but it still scares you. You get bumped, you know, you get bumped and it scares the hell out of you.

Unknown Speaker (50:11): Okay. Cool. Cool. Yeah. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker (50:14): Yeah. Just like everybody else, I think I was getting confused on the time the time changed, but I'm glad I got on. I know. I was trying to get on with my PC. Was like, the PC's not working.

Barry Price (50:24): Let me grab my phone and put it on the tripod and I'm where my Yeah, video of my audition's right

Chris (50:31): cool. Yeah. Yeah. It works out great. Thanks, Jason.

Chris (50:34): Mike and I were talking about that before the show, I gotta figure out a better way because you're not the only person that ever confuses me. I live in Arizona. My clock never changes ever. Right, right. Ours never So he was talking about we use this platform called Riverside.

Chris (50:47): Apparently there's new calendar feature, I'm gonna look into that. Cause we need to have you back on. You've been fun to talk to.

Unknown Speaker (50:52): Thank you.

Chris (50:53): You know, we'll definitely get you back on a couple months just to follow-up and see how things are going with you. What we have about eight minutes left. So what's on the horizon for Barry aside from, bartending and, and Airbnb? Do you have any, any roles coming up that you're shooting? Any things, your projects you're working on?

Barry Price (51:08): I'm, I'm on hold for a, Virginia tourism shoot in Virginia Beach. I'm on hold for that. I'm, I'm hoping I get that. That'll be cool. It's only an hour and a half up the road.

Unknown Speaker (51:18): Oh, And

Barry Price (51:18): then right Beverly brought Beverly just sent me an audition that's gonna be filming in Kentucky and they'll put me up in a hotel they'll pay for my travel expenses and things like that. Just need to put in a good audition. It's like three pages, so. Okay. Yeah.

Barry Price (51:40): I think I'm playing a man that's kind of losing his mind a little bit. I think he's starting to get Alzheimer's a little bit.

Unknown Speaker (51:47): That'll be a challenge.

Barry Price (51:49): So I'm going to read for that and, I'm going to, I'm putting that in by Friday I got a couple of other things pending, that I'm hoping that I'll get, as well. I'm always trying to get more and, I'm never gonna quit.

Chris (52:05): Have, so earlier you talked about you do, you do auditions like you film, because we had, we had a lady on about a year ago, I think. And she ended up after our, while she was on our show, she dropped the bomb that she was in the new Superman movie. I know you said her lines, but, but she was just an extra that was on film. I don't think she had lines. She have lines, Mike?

Unknown Speaker (52:23): I don't remember. I don't think so. I think she said she was a background extra, but she was in the movie.

Chris (52:28): Yeah. Which is cool. But she, but she had, so she had kind of enlightened us that all the auditions and stuff are now basically not done in person. You all, you film whatever you film at home and ship them off. Cause she, she alluded to like doing her audition tapes like two in the morning when everybody's asleep.

Unknown Speaker (52:43): Yeah.

Chris (52:45): So you referenced in the earlier in the conversation that you send your reels out or whoever you want to call them and then you get a call back via zoom. So how does that work? I mean, how do they, to me, if you're, if you're on a zoom, I mean, you can kind of get a sense because we can with this, can sense you have a good presence, a really strong aura and, you know, we can tell you're not an asshole, you know, that kind of stuff that, well, know what I mean? But that kind of stuff comes through the screen, right?

Unknown Speaker (53:06): Absolutely.

Chris (53:06): So is it, is it in your opinion, because obviously you started acting before the whole Zoom thing came to play, right?

Unknown Speaker (53:14): Absolutely.

Unknown Speaker (53:15): Do you feel like

Chris (53:16): it was better face to face auditions as opposed to the Zoom thing?

Unknown Speaker (53:22): You know, it goes both ways. It goes both ways.

Unknown Speaker (53:24): Okay.

Unknown Speaker (53:24): The face to face stuff is, I, I would travel to Charlotte like six or seven hours away Audience Member something cry the whole way home because I'd fuck that up. God, what a loser. And you're just like, you're beating yourself up. You just beat yourself up, beat yourself up, beat yourself up. And then sometimes you'll go do a shitty audition and you'll end up getting it.

Barry Price (53:49): You're like, damn, what the hell did that happen? But at home, when you do it digitally, you video at home and you upload it and send it in. Like I can do it 10 times before I'm satisfied.

Unknown Speaker (54:02): Oh,

Barry Price (54:02): okay. And then redo it over and over again until I got it perfect. Then you send it in. Then there's a lot of time constraints too. I'm very busy.

Barry Price (54:10): So like Friday, I got to get this audition in by Friday and I got a lot of studying to do. And you know, and so, so you, you, you get to take your time and, and you get to do it a few times from home. And, just as long as you got your lighting right and your sound right and everything like that, it works out pretty good. And then when you cheat, you can also put the script and tape it to the camera and read it sometimes and go, I'll memorize that later.

Unknown Speaker (54:39): Nice. There you go.

Unknown Speaker (54:40): But the little cheating things you do, but,

Unknown Speaker (54:43): A little tip there from your Uncle Barry.

Unknown Speaker (54:45): That's awesome.

Unknown Speaker (54:45): What? Said a little

Unknown Speaker (54:47): tip from your Uncle Barry?

Unknown Speaker (54:48): Uncle Barry. Yeah. Don't do that because you're

Barry Price (54:50): often, you to be memorized and off the page for sure.

Unknown Speaker (54:54): Absolutely. Definitely.

Barry Price (54:57): But yeah, it goes both ways, you know, digitally, you know, it's good. If an in person is good too, so.

Chris (55:02): Okay. Well, Well, we definitely want to have you come back on. We do this Tuesdays and Fridays. We can get, we have more time to play with because we do, we shoot it in the afternoon, 02:30. So when we get off air, we'll, we'll figure out another date to have you come on.

Unknown Speaker (55:16): Yeah. Cause it's later It's

Unknown Speaker (55:19): cool.

Barry Price (55:19): Yeah, it's 08:00 here, 8PM.

Chris (55:21): Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It's this five here now. So you're three hours difference.

Unknown Speaker (55:25): Woo hoo. I thought it was two. My bad.

Unknown Speaker (55:27): You're good. You're good. You're good. I didn't, I never know man. Cause I never changed my clock.

Chris (55:31): Right. We're going to figure, you're not the first person that's, that's had an issue with this. So we're going to figure out, I'm going to figure out the clock thing and figure out how

Unknown Speaker (55:38): set up. I even Googled it. Go, Hey man, this is like,

Mike (55:44): screenshot of my desktop and I'm gonna send it to Chris because I have every time zone accounted for. Oh, gotcha. Apple lets you do that.
