It's great to catch up with you again by this my fellow barber shopper , my fellow brother base and fellow podcaster. It's great to talk to you again. How have you been surviving this quarantine ?
Speaker 3Um , mr. Michael , uh, Michael sped in , am I calling you?
Speaker 1Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Speaker 3That's what I'm talking about. You have many personalities, many. It's a good thing though. Life is good. Mike, I gotta tell you , and this is a , this is the first for me actually going to let our, let our respective listeners know we were , uh, we're uh , on the dirty ugly wrestling podcast right now is , uh , something that's been going strong for almost five years now, four and a half, five years, myself, and the big ugly and several other guests. And we're rolling live on your show. Am I correct about ,
Speaker 1Oh yes, you are. Yes, you are. You are we're recording as we speak right now, you know? Um,
Speaker 3Yeah, so ,
Speaker 1You know , things have been going pretty good. You know, you've been getting some, you know, out some episodes out and everything. And so have I lately, you know , um , I've been going kind of bonkers ever since quarantine started, you know, back in March when we , uh, you know , had , were told that we had to stay inside and stay away from people and everything. I think I'm coming up on almost 50 episodes since March.
Speaker 3Wow. That's incredible. We've , uh, we've done at least one a month , uh, myself and the big, I believe remotely from different places and also coming here from the mansion and , and everything like that. And socially distanced , uh, wearing masks, using the great equipment. We've done the same thing. And as I was mentioning to you offline, you know, Mo most of our show is revolved around the world of professional wrestling, but we get in entertainers, motion, motivational speakers , uh, other, you know, all kinds of different guests, because we love to spread the word about just life and entertainment and , uh , just spread the positive word about people out there wanting to get their message across. And we've gone. That's a, you know, we've done several episodes. I don't know about 50 , uh, but , uh, probably probably 10 or so since the quarantine we've been off , keeping busy, trying to do other things, which is great, the quarantine, but it's great to still get the message out there. And we've actually gotten the word that our dirty, ugly wrestling contest has gone overseas. You know, all, all the way to , uh , different countries. It's just, it's amazing how many people, you know, it can get to the feedback where people you can reach. It's amazing.
Speaker 1That's great. That's good to hear that it's reaching out overseas and everything. And they're in a lot of foreign countries around the world. People are proficient in English, you know, because they learn it in school so much. So I guess they're able to listen into it and listen to it and enjoy everything, which is a good thing.
Speaker 3Yeah. We haven't been able to get into several different languages yet, but if there are people out there that are listening to podcasts and maybe translating them over to their own, I'm not sure how that's working, but it's working somehow, which is great. Michael wanted to ask you, you know, you've been, you know, a very active individual ever since I've known you, we've been in the barber shop thing together. And that's kind of on a little bit of a hold right now with singing and a lot of different things they're trying to do. Zoom meetings are trying to do drive in , uh , it's a lot of different things, but you've been, you know , pretty heavy in the acting and going out there and doing auditions and taking roles and a lot of different shows that we've seen and commercial shoots and all kinds of things I want to know, especially, you know, to, and from New York, which New York is still one of the epicenters of this whole pandemic. How are you holding up with all that? I know you're busy doing the podcast , but what's going on in the other world of entertainment.
Speaker 1As far as auditions go, everything is being done remotely nowadays with zoom and Skype. There are no in person auditions anymore. Uh, I think the last one, my wife went to one in Philly. I think it was like the first week after quarantine hit, or maybe like maybe the week before it officially shut down. And they, and they had out, you know, the , uh, the hand sanitizers and people were wearing masks in and , um, I guess taking them all for the , uh, audition part of it. And then , um, you know, there , there was paperless sign in , uh , somebody would check you off on their own clipboard instead of having you sign in. So they started taking precautions for kind of early on, but it w I've not been to New York since February. Um, it's just been shut down and there's really nothing else you can do except for really weighted out. But, you know, it's really , uh , kind of a new chapter as turned over and auditioning right now because people are buying equipment. Um, people are having courses online on how to record your auditions at home. Uh, you know, the types of , uh , you know, the way they want it to look. Um, and I'll tell you what if I own stock. I'm one of those companies that sells backdrop screens for auditioning. I'll tell you what, I'd be a rich man right now. I probably wouldn't
Speaker 3Drop screen plastic dividers and , uh , signage for like , uh, having signs on the floor for social distance saying that things like that things you would never even thought of. Yeah. There's a lot of businesses that are flourishing, just like that. Um,
Speaker 1Another interesting part too, is that , um , sometimes they're even not only do they want to see how well you can act for certain commercials, they want to see what the inside of your house looks like, because they're actually gonna direct you. Some , there were some projects out there where my manager had told me that they were actually going to direct people remotely, and you were going to film it with an iPhone or an iPad, or , um, and then use, you know, when certain software to edit it and send it in, or you were just going to do the raw footage and send it to them and have them edit it. Uh , but I'll tell you what, it's a whole new ball game. And honestly, there are a lot of things that I don't think are going to come back , um, as far as auditioning and even work as we know it, because I think a lot of these business parks have just about had it. People are realizing that, Hey, you know, you can work from home and be productive. And I think that's, that's something that's really going to change. Um, it may really hurt the commercial real estate business, but I think that , uh , we're going to see a lot more people working from home even after this whole thing is over. I agree. And I think
Speaker 3It's a , you know, it's an efficiency thing. It's, it's a way to stay close to your kids and your families, especially when there's still a lot of remote learning going on a lot of different places, as far as kids are concerned. Um, and it's , it's one big , uh, one big wave that just just hits you and it just keeps going and it hits other things. I do see a difference in the culture now. And just even, just for example, as you were mentioning the auditions and processes, I'm looking at things like America's got talent on television and they did their live shows and they're still doing them. They a universal studios, Hollywood, they're flying people in at certain points and they're being very careful. They're flying people in like individually or with their own groups and everybody's being tested and they're in the , in the closed amusement park and all of their fans. And a lot of these places MBA's doing this WWV , you can log in to be a fan and , and , uh , you know, kind of have the zoom or whatever it is on you. And you could be in the crowd and you can be watching the live stream as a part of the crowd as it's happening. So as far as being a performer, being a spectator , uh, it's, it's completely different, but there's a lot of value to , uh , being able to do things on your own. And a lot of people are learning a lot of different technologies that I don't think I , you know, most people wouldn't even think to check out. I mean, there's, there's people that were using some of the technology and kids today, man, they can use a cell phone, iPad, iPod, and I wouldn't know how to go left or right. Honestly, but it's the kids, the kids are being the ones that are all technological and teaching us and that the younger generation is building it up. I think it's, it's great. But I do still see value in person to person interaction. Even if it's with a mask or with a divider in front of you or with a shield or six feet away or whatever the case may be. There's still something to be said about that.
Speaker 1Yeah, you're right about that. You're right about that in person , um, person to person contact and everything, it just can't be rushed. You know, I had heard a number of friends of mine who work in the , uh, Canton corridor that , um , stretch of O'Donnell street, I'd say between right over the overpass where the national Bohemian condos or whatever they're called all the way down to, I guess, where O'Donnell meets Boston street.
Speaker 3Is that considered city at this point? Yeah .
Speaker 1Oh yeah. That is, that is that's . Well, the city, yeah. That's um, Canton and I guess it's called O'Donnell square. That corridor is, and they , they had started reopening, I think back around Memorial day and, you know , people were eating outside, the tables were spaced out. They would take and disinfect and scrubbed down the tables in between customers. And then all of a sudden it would just get weird because people, after a while people started getting started drinking, getting drunk, taken off their masks, the whole place kind of turned into a girls, gone wild video from what I heard and yeah. And a number of people. I know that, that work down there as bartenders and waitresses and that kind of thing sitting , you know, it was getting out of control and , um, you know, people were down there yelling F COVID. I mean, we , you know , we're all dying to get back to normal. We're all dying to go back to the way things were. We're all dying to perform. We're all dying to be able to get together, not having to worry, but we just gotta get through this. You know, it's just a matter of, and I can understand you're saying to somebody just be patient when their business is sitting there stagnant for all this time. That's way easier said than done. Absolutely . Um, you know, I'm just hoping there's some kind of help we can get these people or something, so they're not losing everything. And , um, unfortunately I've just heard about so many people that have just gone belly up since this happened through no fault of their own. And , um, like I said, I'm just really, really hoping , um, that this is just, we can get through this, you know , with minimal damage, minimal loss of life and just get ourselves back to normal and get everybody back to the house , how it was, because it's just a , it's , you know , it there's just too much to lose by rushing it, you know?
Speaker 3And , and I don't want to , you know, make this on either one of our episodes file players , radio or dirty of your wrestling podcasts . I don't want to make it, you know, a political thing election coming up. It's all kinds of thing , but there is a message that I should be getting across. And both of us reach , um, a lot of listeners. And I , I just think that at this point where we're at right now, we're recording in the early part of September, you know, summer's over, we just had a labor day weekend where I don't know if you saw this Mike, but , uh, you know , there was a lot of people out there partying and drinking and, you know, there , there wasn't a lot of social distancing going on and a lot of places and a lot of , not a lot of mask wearing . I see a lot of people taking pictures, posting them online, and they're showing like these big clumps in big groups of people that, you know, it doesn't necessarily matter if you know them, or if they're on your own, your own family, we just don't know where these things are airborne or where they're sticking to you or whatever germs you could be protecting yourself a million different ways. But if you're putting yourself in a group of people, whether you're symptomatic asymptomatic, you have an opportunity to either catch it or give it. And we just don't know enough about COVID yet as, as individual people to, to protect and say, Hey, we're we all right. You know, and if we get sick, you know, w we'll we'll bounce back, nobody knows this.
Speaker 1Nobody knows it. Yeah . Cause I mean, you're hearing, it was a little more looking like it was a little more cut and dry earlier senior younger people didn't get it. Only old people are dying from it. But then I'm hearing about younger people, very, very severe cases and dying of it. Um, we're hearing all kinds of new things about this. And , um, again, I mean , I'm not a scientist. I mean, I just know that I'm not a spring chicken and I'm just not to where I can really. I mean, it would be a real roll the dice if I went out and started really interacting as we used to , um, for me , um, you know, and I think about too with my foul players, you know, I've got a number of people that are, you know , a little bit older in the group that have had some issues in the past where they're particularly vulnerable and as much as I miss everybody and as much as I'd love to get everybody back together to be able to perform, you'll get the old band back together too , with the chorus. You know, I miss singing with the chorus. You know,
Speaker 3We all do chorus of the Chesapeake man has been way too long. It's been six months. And a lot of these guys are used to doing it once, twice, three times a week and different sing outs , different competitions. And a lot of those guys are, you know , uh , the folks in their , you know, older years, you know what I mean? But people who have not, you know, don't have a, exactly clean bill of health, but I mean, they, they can't take any risks like that. You know, can't take or give any risks and we miss it. But the thing is to get back to any semblance of that, I think we all have to, there's, there's a couple of major things that they keep talking about that they've talked about for months and months and months, you know, wash your hands. Every chance you get sanitized, every chance you get, because I mean, we're going back into these places. And like you said, earlier, people are disinfecting between, you know, tables or whatever, what we can't bank on that, you know, take your own sanitary wipes and wipe down your own sitting area, keep your mass going while you're not eating or drinking anything, try to stay away from groups of people that are not your own. I mean, if we all it's so idealistic, but I mean , if we all take responsibility and advantage of what we can do for ourselves, then we're all going to get back to where we need to be. But if there's going to be a couple of people or a couple of groups that are going to kind of throw wedges into that, that's going to make it harder and take longer for us to get back any semblance of normalcy or, you know, those businesses, the same thing. There's businesses that are striving to open back up and pretty open and what's going to happen. You know, people aren't thinking so far down the road, they're thinking exactly what you said. Like, man, it's a bummer. We need to get together. You know, we got to do something and they're just putting their own wants and desires in front of that and endangering themselves and others. I'm just saying, it's not everybody, but there's a lot of people out there, which is why , um, you know, there's , there's still certain spikes of things happening. And this is my concern. You know, they sent some kids, private school kids, some college kids back to school and a half and half basis and already during orientations and the first week of school, there's already been Kobe cases and places have quarantine sections of their school need to be to, you know, if they have symptoms or whatever, you gotta get quarantined in school, like locked up. Like, Oh my goodness. Just, yeah. I mean, just, I'm sorry, again, I'm on a soap box right now, but I'm saying I want people to listen and just not understand that, you know, the simplest things and just take your time and be patient and do your part. And we will all get back to where we want to be that much quicker. At the same time, we will all be more conscious of our surroundings. I have enjoyed the , the couple of places that I've been privileged enough to go that have all the social distancing in the mess and the sanitation. I think there's more protection now for people to either get sick or get unhealthy or anything like that. There's more than consciousness now than there was six months ago before this whole thing started. Yup. Yup. Yup. Because it's not at the top of every news story right now. Like it was six months ago. People are becoming a little, a little complacent with it and we've got Halloween coming up. That's a big, you know, kind of thing for groups of people, kids, we've got Thanksgiving coming up and Christmas and they're all big, you know, for spending and shopping and , uh, you know, outdoor or indoor, whatever the case, a lot indoor, a lot of stuff because it's going to be too cold outside. So gotta think ahead. And we don't want to be quarantined, you know, we don't want to go backwards. So again, apologize for the soap box, but I really care about everybody. That's listening to this and I want us all to get back to what we're doing. So please, you know, distance yourself, wear a mask , uh , wash your hands , sanitized , take responsibility. Don't gather in groups whether, you know, whether you don't , um , cause you just never, you never know if you can do something remotely, if we can do things through the podcast world like this, if we're doing it on our phone and our own , uh, you know, in our, in place has been death , what we're going to do for right now. Right .
Speaker 1Right. And again and again, too , I can't blame people for having cabin fever and wanting to get out and, you know, just not live their life in quarantine anymore, but you know, we just gotta get through it, you know, and I just keep telling people, we just gotta get through it. You know, we got to get through it, you know , um, you know, some other things I wanted to mention to you too, you know, speaking of which yeah .
Speaker 3Let's talk about something other than
Speaker 1Doing all, you know, doing all this podcasting and everything here I've had. I've , I've been happy to announce I've had some pretty , uh, some pretty interesting guests on lately. If you want to check out foul players , radio. Um, and , um, I've had , um , let me see. I had Larry Hankin on not too long ago. Larry Hankin was a Doobie in planes, trains and automobiles. Uh , he was , um, Larry butts , Charlie butts. He was Charlie butts in escape from Alcatraz. He in, Oh God. So many things. He was the Cramer , a fake Cramer in , um , Seinfeld. Uh, he's got just an impressive resume and it was a really enjoyable show to talk to him. I've , you know , said Jack O'Halloran on, who played , uh , one of the villains and Superman , uh , Superman one briefly, but Superman too , throughout the most of the movie, he played non , he was the big guy with the beard. He was a former heavyweight boxer actually in the sixties and seventies who was in line to fight Muhammad Ali and , um, was very close to two . It was very close to being able to do it, but just didn't quite get there. And , uh , he did fight for him and he did fight Ken Norton back in those days. And he has lots of great stories to tell, and I've got some other great ones coming up too , which I would like to announce, but I really don't want to, because I'm afraid that something will happen or, you know , um, and I won't get it and then it won't happen. So , um, but when things have been good at foul players radio here and , um, yeah , I'm always glad to reach out and catch up with you every so often. I think we kind of get, we've gotten together just about quarterly , um, ever since we kinda met each other and you know , started doing this together. Um, you know , it's just a shame, you know , I really miss the chorus too . It's , it's not only just the same, but it's the comradery , you know, getting to see people and saying hello and seeing how people are doing. And everything is really the , uh, really , uh , you know, another thing that I miss about it, you know ,
Speaker 3I do too. And then everybody can always check out the chorus of the Chesapeake on Facebook, like, and follow and check out the posts. You know, we're always fine trying to find a way to expand the organizations, even virtually and even dundalk.org, the website, they're still, they're still going. Um , they're still, you know, trying to do matter of fact, they did just sell something with a legacy quartet, like, you know, the best of the best , uh , kind of thing. And that that's always been phenomenal and they they're trying to , uh, keep everything going. The harmonizer magazine is still out there , uh, coming out once a month and it's , everybody's still trying to go. And you mentioned all these great people , uh , that you have when you are showing. I've got a , uh, you know, I would love to, you know, get hooked up with any of them and they , they're more than welcome to come out on the dirty on the wrestling podcast. It's , uh , you know , it's a different form of entertainment. You know, like I said, we circle around professional wrestling, but we've had , um, you know, actors and singers of like yourself, mr. Jimmy Fitzpatrick, who's been , um, you know, all up and down the, the world of acting and singing and performing. Oh, absolutely, absolutely. 100% , uh, Jimmy Fitzpatrick and his great friend of mine as well. And not only that, but , uh , professional, professional wrestlers and , uh, actors and performers and who are also, you know, teachers and , um, accountants and all guys , you know , everybody has so many different talents and , um, we've had the prejudice pleasure speaking to so many of them in so many different organizations and so many different walks of life. And, you know, definitely check out the dirty, ugly wrestling podcast archives too , as well as the foul players radio. And , uh , we can get them all together and start expanding the audiences. And that's what we're so privileged and proud to do. And glad we can do it. Like it's just a lot of fun just catching up, man,
Speaker 1Is it always is Mike, it's always a pleasure to catch up with my, with , uh , the brotherhood of the base as we call it right.
Speaker 3Brotherhood of the base . So we're the Bob, maybe the boob . We don't want to be the boob. That doesn't make sense.
Speaker 1We have enough boobs. We have
Speaker 3No , no kidding . I'll tell you what we are doing . And the wrestling podcast can be found on iTunes, SoundCloud, Stitcher tune in radio. Uh , you can also Google the dirty, ugly wrestling podcast and find us and about 10 other places, we do have a Twitter Twitter handle at GCU wrestling, a pod, and also on Facebook, dirty, ugly wrestling podcast and a dirty, ugly wrestling@gmail.com definitely find myself in the big, ugly. And also we got the seat and you want to only see him funk around Jim and Jason, and always a lot of different characters coming onto our show, including yourself. Um, and we always love to spread the word. And , uh , how can we find more of the foul players radio for our listings?
Speaker 1You asked Mike because you can find us on Apple podcast , Spotify, Google podcast , Stitcher overcast pocket cast, Castro, cast box, I heart radio. Uh , you can also find it on , um, it's the main website though. I can't even spit it out here. It's a HTTP S slash slash foul players' radio. That's F O w L players radio.buzzsprout.com. Uh, we also have a Facebook presence. We're also now on Twitter. If you look us up at, at foul F O w L underscore radio , uh , you can tell what they think of us foul radio, you know, we're ,
Speaker 3Well, I'll tell you what, and this is something else we gotta do, you know, myself and the big ugly, big ugly is the production side of what we do as well as a performer and a attributed show . But we got to hook you up with him because , um , there's, there's outlets that I'm sure you , you rattle off a lot of names there that I'm sure we'd like to get under, and I'm sure that we can , um , spread our presence with you as we're spreading ourselves overseas, but some ways we have , we can share commonalities. And , um, hopefully we can both go where all of us want to go, and that's just this reach as many people as we can. So I look forward to doing that too.
Speaker 1Absolutely. Mike, well , again, it was always great to catch up with you, you know , um , keep doing what you're keep pumping out , dirty, ugly wrestling, video , dirty, ugly wrestling episodes. And we'll be here listening .
Speaker 3There's some videos on there too, but I , I wanna , I want to put this out there as well. Just one final , uh, comment here. Um, it is just the professional wrestling world is where we're based. And we have had a lot to talk about. There's a lot of people that even in that world, in that business , um, are being very protective. And if you think about it pro wrestling as a very close kind of thing, it's very much like acting very much like a ballet. So proper , uh , physicality circus, all kind of turned into one, but I can, I can guarantee you everything we're seeing on television, which is a lot of stuff on the WWE and all elite wrestling and even a and impact wrestling. They're all being tested. They're all being quarantined themselves as being performers. You know, they're not going back home and going out partying and things like that. They're taking it very, very seriously. So, and of course, you're going to have a couple of things here and there, but it's there an example as well of, you know , we can get back. There are ways to do what we want to do. And we just got to come up with creative ways to get back to doing it. And this is going to be one of them. So support professional wrestling, of course, the independent professional wrestlers that are out there that are struggling to make ends meet, doing their own things, living their own lives. Hopefully we get them all back going and hopefully we get you continue going on virtual auditions and back to doing television. I love Cobra Kai on Netflix. I'm just gonna throw that out there. Um , that is one of the number one streaming things in the entire world. And I've seen you on Netflix and a couple of things, the unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I did watch that , that , that , that movie. That was fantastic. Thank you . I loved it, man. And I love seeing you in there because I was like, I pointed him out. Like I know him , I know that guy. He's like, yeah, man, we hung out together. We would do things. We podcasts, we hang, we can sing. But , um, yeah, Cobra, Kai. I wanna just keep watching. A lot of people watch things in their downtime and quarantine and the new people are getting out in the bath . Like keep up, keep those things going because those things are fueling the , uh , economic and the entertainment world , uh, everything, podcasting , radio , uh, serious , um, you know, Netflix, YouTube, all that good stuff. So keep it going and fight for Cobra Cod because we need so many more seasons.
Speaker 1That's what I hear. I hear it's getting a lot of good feedback and everything it's very possible.
Speaker 3And it's amazing that these are the three karate kid movies, the original ones. And then there was a next karate kid and then a karate kid with Jackie Chan and a will Smith son. Um , Jaden now willsmith is one of the executive producers of this covert type thing. And that's where a lot of the money's coming from. I can understand, but a lot of the creativity, but men , they just take that karate kid universe and bringing it back. And it's a real shot in the entertainment arm. And it's just a beautiful thing. Watch it support it. And of course, I'm going to be listening to foul player's radio. So keep tagging me on that and I'll keep tagging you on the dirty, on the wrestling podcast, man . Sure .
Speaker 1Well, you know, something funny, I'll tell you a quick story before we sign off here. I'm the guy who was the , uh, I guess in the original karate kid. And I think he's in the Cobra, Kai thing too. He was the original head of the dojo where the bad guys fought over time. Martin crease . Yes. Yes. Okay. Okay. Well , like 30 years ago when I worked at Comcast and I was going through safety orientation, that guy actually did a foot safety video and industrial. I was watching it because we had to watch everything you about, you know, working around power lines and they were doing safety training, you know , with us. And , um, he , and all of a sudden they throw one in for , uh , you know , about, you know, foot safety and wearing your boots and everything. And all of a sudden you see him and he walks over to the camera. He just looks at it and goose feet. We all walk on them. We all depend on them every day in our daily lives. And again , I was like, dude, you just did the karate kid, unless this was old, you know , that was like really old or something, but
Speaker 3No, no, that's true . I mean, you know, that was from the original one was from, I think, 1983 or 1984, something like that. But I'm sure that he made a presence. I mean, if you saw him anywhere doing anything, you knew like you , you had to watch, you had to listen because he's a presence. He still is part of the new Cobra cut
Speaker 1For his foot to come flying through the TV screen. If I wasn't paying attention,
Speaker 3I wouldn't put it past him . I mean, he is. And I'll say this about a lot of actors and actresses, you know, the nicest people play the best bad guys. And I have always noticed that they're phenomenal range. You know, when I've gotten to play a couple of heeled characters in my life, bill Sikes and Oliver and John in Oklahoma and to you. And I've always been told that I did really, really well. So it means I'm a really good, bad guy, or I was just a bad guy at heart, but no, no, but , um , I, I , uh, I was always the nicest people play, the nice , the biggest bang , the best bad guys. And I love Marvin Cole is one of them. And I would love to, you know, one day if we get him on that show now, especially with the increased popularity of Cobra cock coming back, man. And he would be, I'm sure he's got some phenomenal stories.
Speaker 1Oh, I'm sure he does. I'm sure he does.
Speaker 3All right , Mike, let's , let's wrap it up for the foul players radio and the dirty, ugly wrestling podcast . And , uh , we will meet up again and I'm sure the next couple of months, definitely before the holiday season.
Speaker 1Absolutely. Great to talk to you, Mike, and thank you all for listening. This is foul players radio and
Speaker 3So dirty, ugly wrestling podcast , and we'll all be right back.
