1:20
from our super cool friend, Beverly Brock.
1:23
His name is Barry Price. He's a actor, He's a thespian,
1:27
thespian. There's a picture of him with
1:29
Richard Gere which I was scrolling through his photos.
1:32
Very nice there's. This picture of him with a fast
1:35
car. He's wearing a suit in that one.
1:38
Looking very dapper. This is a dapper one, right?
1:40
This is like, I could be like a doctor or like a, you know,
1:43
somebody, you know, privileged on TV play like this is oh, look
1:47
at me, I'm. Still, he's got a good look
1:49
that's. He's got a good look, right?
1:51
This is, this is Barry Price. You know, like he's got that
1:56
good. You know, he's got the sharp
1:58
blue eyes, which is cool. You know, he's got a chiseled.
2:02
Chiseled. That's a good word, Mike.
2:04
He's chiseled. Look at that with a beard,
2:07
right? Without a beard.
2:09
Notice the hair is styled one way in that picture.
2:11
It's different in that one. It's flipped.
2:14
His hair is multifunctional. He flipped his hair both ways.
2:17
See that? Amazing.
2:19
That's how you get them different roles, but.
2:21
Amazing. It it is super happy smile.
2:24
Super happy smile. Now, you know, But the thing
2:27
with that photo is the tie is not completely secured, nor is
2:30
it centered. So I wonder if that was done on
2:33
purpose, which if he joins us, we can ask.
2:36
You know, that's a very like stoic look.
2:38
I'm Barry Price. I'm Barry Price.
2:40
You know, this one I thought was cool because it says all new on
2:44
Ripley's Believe It or Not. So I wonder if he's on Ripley's
2:46
Believe It or Not, and then he's.
2:47
Priest, it looked like. Right.
2:49
And then here he is with darker hair.
2:51
That was the younger days, I think.
2:54
Let's go back, let's close that puppy.
2:55
Let's see where does it take us back to the IMB?
2:57
Yes. OK, so this is the page that he
3:00
sent me. And down here, this is what he's
3:06
known for. The movie, The TV show The
3:07
Shepherd Critical rescue. A haunting and uneven.
3:13
That's a short film. I've seen a lot of the hauntings
3:16
those are. Good.
3:16
Oh, right on. So this is a shepherd.
3:21
Cool. These are things he's been in,
3:23
you know, according to this, he's got 16 previous things and
3:25
he's got one upcoming, which is the Shepherd.
3:28
So that must be, oh, they're filming it right now.
3:29
Barry. Hey, guys.
3:31
Hey, look, there's Barry. We were talking about you behind
3:34
your back, man. Hey man, it took me a minute.
3:36
I'm so sorry. It's all good, brother.
3:39
OK, it's all good. Just we were just talking about
3:41
you behind your back, you know, as you clearly see, you know,
3:45
there you are. I.
3:48
Guess that's your IMDb. Yep.
3:50
Yeah, OK. Yeah, Sorry it took me a minute,
3:53
fellas. You're you're totally fine man.
3:57
It happens. You're good.
3:59
It's, it's life in the fast lane, man.
4:02
I had, I just had little people come to my house.
4:04
Mike, talk to him for a second. He's he must have the grandkids
4:08
over Barry. So your granddaughter too?
4:13
Yeah. We were just scrolling through
4:14
your IMDb, man, You'd got a good look for a lot of different
4:18
roles. What Chris usually says.
4:21
Give us the we're going up a thirty floor building.
4:25
Give us the elevator speech of kind of why you're here and what
4:28
you want to promote. You know, like how did you get
4:30
into acting? And just tell us a little bit
4:32
about yourself, Barry. OK, great.
4:34
Yeah, I actually got into this a little late in my life and in my
4:37
in my mid 30s. And so it's been like 30 years
4:41
already and. You're not 60 years old.
4:45
I'm I'll be 63 and I call. Bullshit.
4:47
I call bullshit. That's supposed to say that.
4:50
That's supposed to help. You're not supposed to say how
4:52
old you are. We've had actors on the show
4:53
from Beverly and they have to, they just, they talk about their
4:56
acting range. I, you know, I don't care people
4:59
you play. Yeah.
5:00
Yeah, it doesn't bother me. I could.
5:02
I'm proud to be almost 63 years old.
5:04
So why not dude? You don't look at it all, man.
5:06
No, thank you. Actually, I live a couple blocks
5:08
from the ocean, so I went surfing today.
5:10
I've been surfing for about 50 years and a couple ads that I
5:15
was in when I was younger helped me get involved in acting.
5:18
So I did a couple print ads, did a couple like I'm an amateur.
5:21
So I did a couple videos, you know, and so that kind of led
5:24
into to acting and I, I lived in San Diego 1 winter because my
5:29
son's mother remarried and they, they moved to San Diego and I
5:32
worked in La Jolla and, and the banquet part of La Jolla at the
5:37
La Valencia. And after the holidays were
5:40
over, I was starving and I was looking for work.
5:43
And back then there was no cell phone.
5:45
So I would look in the help wanted ads in the newspaper
5:48
every day. And I saw an ad agency in San
5:51
Diego said no experience necessary, print commercials,
5:56
whatever. And so I met with those guys and
5:58
I spent my last $350.00 on black and white head shots.
6:02
Right on. Yeah.
6:04
So that got that, got the ball rolling.
6:06
And then I came back to the East Coast and and Virginia Beach is
6:09
like an hour and a half north of me.
6:10
And they did an interview with me in a small, small magazine.
6:16
And that kind of led into acting.
6:17
I saw an acting agency in that and I called them and it's kind
6:22
of got the ball rolling from there, so.
6:24
Nice. Are you originally from the East
6:25
Coast, Barry? Is that why you went back?
6:28
Yeah, I'm from North Carolina, and so I'm a bartender.
6:32
I've been bartending for 30 some years and I'm still doing it.
6:35
I'm one of the oldest bartenders on the beach, but right.
6:38
On. They they might.
6:41
The restaurant I worked in asked me if I was coming back and I
6:44
said I'm going to have to because I'm not making any money
6:47
out here. So I ended up coming back.
6:49
Dude, I hate to interrupt you, but I've seen this episode of A
6:52
Haunting. Yeah, a haunting.
6:55
Yeah, I. Would have never known in a
6:56
million years that was you, but how cool is that?
6:59
Yeah, my hair's a little grayer now, so.
7:03
And this is Monsters and Mysteries in America right here.
7:06
Yeah. So Derek, Derek Bort directed
7:09
that he's he's he's a director from Virginia Beach and he
7:12
directs Russell Crowe in a few movies, so.
7:15
Wow. Yeah.
7:16
OK, So why? Why?
7:17
We were talking about you before you came on the show with your.
7:21
You know, you're not the only person that had technical
7:23
difficulty, so don't worry about it.
7:25
I saw a picture of you with Richard Gere.
7:26
He was poking at your ear. What was that about?
7:29
OK, so 2007 I was surfing in Rodenti.
7:34
It's a little village South of me, about 50 minutes.
7:37
And some of the some of the locals down there were like, did
7:40
you hear about them? They're going to film a movie
7:43
down here called Nights in Rodenti.
7:44
I was like, no, I didn't hear about it.
7:46
So I I reached out to somebody else and they gave me the
7:49
address where I could send a headshot my resume to.
7:52
And so I sent my resume to them and my headshot and they called
7:56
me back and said, hey, are you free for a couple months this
7:59
summer? I was like could be.
8:02
And I said. We we, we're trying to pick you
8:04
to be the stand in and double for Richard Gere.
8:07
And can you come in and audition for it?
8:09
And I said, yeah, yeah, I could certainly do that.
8:13
And I went to Manteo, NC, where Richard Gere and Diane Lane were
8:19
were sitting in in front of cameras.
8:23
And I walked in and they were sitting there like, oh, my God,
8:25
there's Diane Lane and Richard Gere.
8:27
Yeah, Yeah. They asked me a few questions,
8:30
this and that. Are you free?
8:31
And then I said yes. And then they picked me.
8:33
So. So I, I was Richard Gere
8:35
standing in double for a couple months on nights in Rodanti.
8:39
I wasn't a stunt double, but just double.
8:42
That's cool. That's yeah, Diane Lane.
8:44
That's one of my top three, you know, You know what is it?
8:48
Hall Pass. Yeah, definitely.
8:50
She was. She was super sweet.
8:52
And Richard Gere was more standoffish, but he he was
8:57
pretty nice at the end there. So he was busy.
9:00
They were both very busy. Yeah, well, I don't doubt that.
9:02
I could see him being kind of, you know, I don't know,
9:06
standoffish, just just that has the aura.
9:09
His presence is kind of like that, like leave me alone.
9:12
Yeah, yeah. He, he, he was like that.
9:14
He he talked to the ladies more than they did to guys.
9:17
Well, I mean, he's Richard Gere. You.
9:21
Know guys got to do what a guy's got to do.
9:23
Guess you're right. Yeah, with or without the
9:25
gerbil, he's like, I got to. Learn my lines, man.
9:28
I can't talk to you. Yeah, people gave me a hard time
9:32
about the gerbil too thing. Yeah, they.
9:34
Did. We were.
9:35
Talking about the gerbil. We were just talking about that,
9:41
Barry. You could never get away with
9:43
that nowadays. But it's something about that
9:46
time back then where a story like that just caught fireman
9:50
and everybody heard it. It's so crazy, Yeah.
9:53
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I, I, they get my my my peers
9:57
gave me a hard time about that. I can imagine actors are
10:01
probably just like. Beverly texting me right now
10:03
thinking that, hoping that I got in mind I can't.
10:05
Text her back. Well, yeah, because, yeah,
10:06
because, well, I'll tell her. I'll tell her because Beverly,
10:08
Beverly, she reaches out to me all the time.
10:10
We have one of her, her people on the show.
10:12
She's like. We love is.
10:13
He there yet? Is he there yet?
10:15
So I, I give her updates and I'm like, you know, so she's just,
10:18
she's the coolest person ever, man, I worked for so.
10:20
Long on the show. 15 years, that was.
10:23
Fantastic. Yeah, almost. 15 years.
10:26
Yeah, yeah. She saw two people.
10:29
I went to AI, went to a an acting seminar in Raleigh, and I
10:35
wasn't a participant. I just was in the audience and I
10:38
was right behind the judges and, and one of the judges, which was
10:42
Beverly, turns around and goes, who are you with?
10:44
I go, nobody, I'm, I'm just checking this out.
10:46
And she gave me her card. And from there on, we had a
10:48
relationship. It's it's the look, man, you got
10:51
you got it says legit. You have to watch the beginning
10:55
of the show when it airs because we were talking about you behind
10:58
your back, all positive. But we were going I I like to I
11:01
like to scroll through photos of whoever we have on the show.
11:04
So we're going through your photos and cool.
11:07
Yeah, you got some, you got a, you got a nice, you got a nice
11:10
range of looks, but it all ties back.
11:12
It all ties back to you, which is cool.
11:14
I mean, the eyes give you away. Well, yeah, thanks.
11:16
It helps me. You know, this look goes against
11:18
me sometimes too, you guys. Really.
11:20
So yeah, sometimes it does. Beverly just sent me a script
11:24
for a movie in Kentucky, and I just started reading it today
11:28
before I got on with you guys. So she sent me an audition.
11:31
Yeah. Nice.
11:33
I'm grateful, very grateful to you guys too, so.
11:36
So how does it work against you in some cases?
11:39
I don't know, maybe my eyes are too blue, or maybe my ray, or
11:43
maybe I'm not tall enough, or maybe, you know, yeah, it kind
11:46
of goes against you sometimes. So do you.
11:48
Feel like you get typecast into any certain roles cause we've
11:51
encountered that where actors will say, you know, I keep
11:54
getting cast in this certain kind of role and I'm trying to
11:56
break out of it. Yeah, yeah, I believe so.
11:59
I mean, I'm cast. I mean in the past when you know
12:02
the, some of the, the, the videos you see me on and
12:04
everything and cast as a, a businessman, a a husband, a
12:09
doctor, a lawyer. Chris nailed the doctor.
12:12
I did that. I said that.
12:14
Things like that, You know, So, yeah, I, I played a bad guy once
12:17
or twice. I, I did a bad guy on a thing
12:20
called Death by Gossip. Kathy Williams narrated it.
12:25
But they fired her because she went cuckoo, you know?
12:27
But they only did one season of that.
12:29
They, they dyed my, my beard black and my hair black.
12:33
And I was one of the bad guys. And that was one of the funnest
12:35
roles I've ever done. Thank you.
12:38
I've heard, I've heard that from we had some other like with like
12:41
we said, we've had some other barely's folks on the one guy
12:43
he's he's just always gets typecast of bad guys.
12:45
And I nowhere near what you and her clients have done.
12:49
I years ago I dabbled in the whole acting thing.
12:52
And so when I played bad guys, it was a lot more fun than
12:54
playing, you know, the boring, you know, Yeah.
12:57
For real. I wanna play more bad guys for
12:59
sure. Yeah, yeah.
13:01
It's just, you know, there's more dynamic.
13:03
He can be more creative. You can kind of just kind of
13:05
branch out instead of being stuck in this box of like, I'm a
13:09
father of two kids, you know, it's like.
13:10
Yeah, yeah, I'm a doctor. I'm a.
13:13
Lawyer. Right now I want to do some
13:15
cussing and some hitting and some yes.
13:18
Thank you Do. You want to play a polka or do
13:21
you want to play ACDC, You know? I'm HBDC all the way.
13:25
There you go. That's the way I look at playing
13:27
the husband versus playing the guy who's going to kill the
13:30
husband or whatever you want to be that.
13:32
Guy. You know, I want to, I want to
13:33
be that guy who's in there doing.
13:35
It's getting better for me as I get older.
13:37
I was a little green when I started because I'm not
13:39
educated. I never went to a film school or
13:41
or theater or. That probably helps me like.
13:44
That I just kind of self-taught through student films and and
13:47
independence and short films and things like that.
13:51
So. I bet that helps you more than
13:53
it hurt you. Yeah, yeah.
13:55
I mean, I, I fell in love with it 'cause I mean, you know, it's
13:57
like when I, when I did an extra work on FBI files years ago and
14:02
I saw the, you know, I was just one of the sailors looking for
14:05
the body in the Creek. And I, I got on set and was on
14:08
location in the country and I saw the cameras, I saw the
14:11
wardrobe, I saw the actors, I saw the directors.
14:15
And I was like, dude, this is killer.
14:16
I want to know more about this stuff.
14:17
You know, I wanted to be that guy.
14:19
Over there, you know, Yeah, that's cool.
14:22
So 30 years. So 30 years doing this.
14:25
Yeah, Yeah. Yeah, it's been an evolution.
14:28
It's been an evolution. I'm still striving, striving for
14:31
more, you know, striving for better roles.
14:34
Well, yeah. So how many things do you know,
14:35
how many, how many roles you've had over those 30 years?
14:39
I've done a lot of print, I've done a lot of commercials and
14:45
you know, the TV thing is, is something that that I'm trying
14:48
to for some reason, I've been doing tons and tons of auditions
14:51
from my house, sending self tapes in, but I just can't get
14:56
picked on some of these bigger, bigger roles.
14:58
You know, I've I've auditioned for a couple soap operas and I
15:01
got a claw back on one with Zoom and I didn't get it and things
15:05
like that. So, but I'm not giving up.
15:07
I have nothing to lose. I have nothing to lose.
15:09
I'm not giving up. So, well, it's like the ladder,
15:11
you can't win if you don't play, if you don't keep trying.
15:13
They're never, you know, they're not just going to not same thing
15:16
in the music business. Nobody's going to knock on your
15:18
door and say, hey, do you want a record contract?
15:21
I know, I know. You've never happened.
15:22
Ever. Absolutely.
15:24
You have to work, so you. Totally have the right attitude,
15:26
man. It's it's cool you got a smile
15:28
on your face as you're saying you got rejected.
15:30
Thanks guys. Yeah.
15:33
All I do too. Man, and my wife and I have an
15:37
Airbnb on the bottom level of our home.
15:39
So we we're getting busy. We we rent that out, we manage
15:43
that and we clean it and then we work for somebody else and semi
15:47
man is there Airbnb and we clean that too.
15:49
So one minute I'm doing a commercial, one minute I'm
15:52
bartending and one minute I'm cleaning toilets and showers and
15:54
bathrooms and and kitchens. So that's the way God humbles
15:57
you, man. He keeps you under his thumb,
15:59
you know. Oh yeah.
16:00
Well. Yeah, that's cool.
16:01
What's your wife do? She cleans Airbnb.
16:04
Oh, OK. Yeah.
16:06
OK, that's OK. Cool, cool.
16:07
Right now. So you're making money on the
16:10
lower half of your property then.
16:11
So that's kind of cool. Yeah, we are.
16:13
It's helping us. And but in the winter time it's
16:15
extremely, because in the winter it's extremely slow here because
16:18
I'm in a resort, a beach area on the Outer Banks of North
16:21
Carolina. So it's busy now and it's slow
16:24
in the winter time. OK, OK, yeah.
16:28
So who's the most the most famous person you've ever done
16:31
anything with? Hang on.
16:34
Well, Richard Gere and Diane Lane, for one thing.
16:36
And then, you know, James, James Franco was on that set too.
16:41
Yeah, yeah. He wasn't very nice though.
16:43
I guess he was in his, he was in, in his character.
16:46
So he, he really, I stood in for him too, but he didn't talk to
16:49
me. He was younger then, so he was
16:51
pretty cocky. Who else?
16:55
I did extra work on George Clooney's film The Leather Heads
17:00
years ago in Greensboro. Oh yeah, I remember that movie.
17:03
John. John Krasinski was in that, too.
17:07
George Clooney, when he walked through where I was like, Oh my
17:10
God, it's George Clooney. And by that time I'd already
17:13
done nice and red dancing with Richard Gere.
17:15
But George Clooney was super, super cool.
17:19
He was like awesome cool cat. He talked to people, he stopped
17:22
and talked and he was just super cool, man.
17:25
He was cool as hell. That's good to know.
17:27
And Renee, Renee Zellweger. Renee Zellweger was on that
17:32
shoot too, and she said hello to everybody too.
17:33
She was super nice. Was that before or after the
17:36
plastic surgery debacle? Oh, way before man wave.
17:39
Before. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
17:41
Like, yeah. She won't be like herself
17:42
anymore. No, it's true.
17:45
Yeah, there it is. There's the Richard Gere and the
17:46
Barry Price. Model.
17:47
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He was whispering in my ear.
17:50
So he's like, You ever tried the gerbil?
17:52
You ever tried the? Gerbil, did you have a sense of
17:57
humor? Did he really say that?
18:01
No, no, because that would be. Funny as hell, man.
18:03
That would be funny as hell. He didn't even say anything.
18:06
He was just like, hey, man, hold still for a second, OK, All
18:10
right? Hey, you're Richard Gere.
18:13
But those are the only ones I can really think of.
18:15
I'm trying to think of who else. It's nice that George Clooney's
18:19
cool because you that's one of those people that you look at,
18:21
you kind of think he's going to go one way to the other.
18:23
He's going to be either be a super fucking asshole or he's
18:25
going to be like the salt of the earth.
18:26
But maybe part of that's because it was Rosemary Clooney was his
18:30
was his mother or grandmother or something.
18:31
That was something. Like that though, she likes
18:34
finger or something. Like that, yeah.
18:36
But she was like really revered as a, as a, as somebody in the
18:40
industry. And he started his facts, right?
18:43
Right. He started when he was young, He
18:44
started his facts of life. Remember that.
18:46
I do, yeah, absolutely. Yeah, but he was directing that
18:49
film, so he was just super nice. He was.
18:52
That's cool. He directed it and and was also
18:55
the lead and, but he was just like really nice.
18:57
Like really cool. Really.
18:59
Cool, so so I've always wondered about this.
19:01
You may not be able to answer the question though, but from an
19:03
actor who is directing and acting in it, how?
19:06
How hard is that? I was watching him.
19:10
He looked pretty tough, You know, I mean, he, he, he's got
19:12
to put trust in the, in the, in the, the DP, you know, the, in
19:17
this, in the, the director of photography and the, and the
19:20
next director down from him. He's got to put trust in them so
19:24
he can direct them on directing him.
19:26
And he'll, he'll get in front of the camera, you know, and and
19:29
then he gets behind the camera. So yeah, I think it's pretty
19:32
difficult from what I hear, you know?
19:34
Everything would be exhausting, man.
19:36
Well, you just said how hard it is he has to teach them how to
19:39
direct him. Like that's a whole nother
19:42
level. Yeah, yeah.
19:43
It's, it's it's pretty bizarre, but it was fascinating watching
19:46
that guy, you know, And it was fun watching Richard Gere work,
19:50
too, you know, him and Diane Lane.
19:52
Yeah, and then Derek Bort, Derek Bort's, it's kind of a famous
19:57
director from Virginia Beach area and he's directed Russell
20:00
Crowe a couple times. And I've done like I've done
20:02
like 6 things with him. I just did part of a, a music
20:06
video with him a month ago up in Virginia.
20:08
So I played a played a cop. So are you on?
20:12
Are you on YouTube? I am.
20:15
OK, I'm going to look you up. Yeah, I saw some of the, I saw
20:18
some of the photos you flashed. It looks like some of that stuff
20:21
was from YouTube. Yeah.
20:22
I I grabbed it off your, your the IMDVDB, yeah, yeah.
20:27
So there there's a performer, there's a performer who who it's
20:32
called a bad think, a bad think and and Derek Bortz directed a
20:37
bunch of his music videos. I can't remember the name of the
20:40
artist but I think he's comes from some band, some famous band
20:47
but I don't recall who it is but.
20:50
I'm trying to, I'm trying to, I'm trying to find you on
20:53
YouTube. Yeah.
20:55
Barry Price, actor real. Maybe that's it.
21:00
Oh yes, that's when we were watching earlier.
21:02
Hold on. Oh yeah, tons, tons of
21:06
commercials on there and things, I think few things.
21:11
Yeah, so we can play this live because it's just a
21:13
conversation. So, yeah, that's, that's my,
21:16
that's my one minute reel right there.
21:18
But I need to get a new one done.
21:20
I've done a bunch of I've done a bunch of you think that was the
21:22
guy she started to see Maybe go ahead.
21:25
I've done a bunch of public service announcements here on
21:28
the Outer Banks too, for Dare County and killed over Hills and
21:32
Nags Head and Kitty Hawk and things like that.
21:34
So. What season homicide hunter was
21:37
that Barry? That was a homicide hunter with
21:41
Joe Kendo when somebody, a lady, kidnapped a baby.
21:47
I'm trying to remember the name of it.
21:49
I can't. Remember, I'm sure I've seen
21:51
that one too. It's it's not ringing a bell
21:53
yet, but I've seen almost all those two.
21:55
I love that show. This is a funny story about that
21:58
when I played a major in the Air Force whereas I my captain was
22:05
acting weird. So I go in to see the detectives
22:08
and my name, my character name was Major Jagger.
22:13
And when I first walked into to the room through the door, I
22:17
introduced myself and I said, hey, my name is Mick Jagger.
22:22
Major Jagger and the the main character he plays.
22:25
So Ken, he's like, hey man, relax.
22:27
It's OK, I've done that before too.
22:29
That's what I'm supposed to say. Hey, my name is Major, Major
22:32
Jagger. I go, hey, my name is Mick
22:33
Jagger. That's funny.
22:35
Man, I couldn't believe I did that.
22:37
Going out on tour with the Stones, man.
22:39
Yeah, yeah. That's some reason Mick Jagger
22:42
was on my mind. That's hilarious.
22:44
Well, because the name, I could see how that would work, you
22:46
know? Mick Jagger, Major Jagger,
22:49
whatever, Yeah. Your brain's like I'm supposed
22:51
to say something here. Starts with an M and AJ.
22:54
Yeah, it's that dyslexia going on there.
22:59
So how long does it take to film one of those?
23:02
Because they turn those ID shows out like they're going out of
23:05
style. How long does it take to film
23:07
one of those like from your perspective?
23:09
That one a haunting that I did that you guys saw.
23:15
I was on set probably 3 or 4 days, maybe 5 days.
23:20
OK. But but it's not full day.
23:22
Some days will be early in the morning, some days will be all
23:25
night or overnight. It all depends on, you know, how
23:27
it works out for the hours from the day before, so and then.
23:31
They're good shows, but I I figured they couldn't have put a
23:34
whole lot of time into them because there's so many of them.
23:38
I mean ID goes 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
23:40
Yeah, they have to go fast. They they have to go real, real
23:43
fast. And you got to be ready.
23:45
You have to be ready for it. So that, that, that that puts a
23:49
lot of pressure on you. So you got it, you know, you got
23:51
to know your lines, you got to be prepared and you got to
23:53
listen. You got to listen to what's
23:55
going on. You got to figure out where the
23:57
camera is and things like that. So, but I think it's
24:00
fascinating. I love it.
24:02
Now with that said, you've been on a haunting and monsters and
24:06
mysteries. Are you a believer in either one
24:08
of those? No, you just did the show.
24:11
I just did the show and I'm not really a believer, you know,
24:15
especially monsters and mysteries.
24:17
So I'm not really just ridiculous.
24:20
Yeah, but I mean, some people believe it, some people have
24:23
seen it, and they just reenact those stories.
24:26
Yep. They're fun.
24:27
They're fun to do. Oh, I imagine.
24:30
There's there's the bad guy right here.
24:31
Yeah, yeah. Memory.
24:33
That's like awesome. There you go.
24:34
Right. Yeah, that's a.
24:35
Good look man. Yeah, that was fun.
24:38
Do you throw this guy in the trunk of your car?
24:41
Say again. Do you throw him in the trunk of
24:43
your car? He did.
24:45
I didn't. He did, yeah.
24:46
But I was looking, I was looking back there to see if they were
24:49
there. I was looking back there to see
24:50
if he did a good job. I was like, yeah, they're back
24:52
there. I'm grateful you guys are having
25:00
me. I appreciate it.
25:00
I think I. Really.
25:01
I know we. Appreciate you being here man.
25:03
That's why we do this, is give people a platform to promote
25:07
themselves and yeah, you know, we all grow together.
25:10
I'm going to copy of this and I can put it on.
25:12
Social. Oh yeah.
25:13
You can use Chris is going to send you a bunch of reels and
25:17
he'll send you the full episode. It's yours to do with what you
25:20
want, man. Thank you.
25:22
If you want to get a hold of Barry, there you go.
25:24
Yep, absolutely, absolutely. Get Barry.
25:27
He's. Married, he's married boys,
25:29
women out there. So just relax and.
25:32
Boys, she's downstairs listening to me right now.
25:35
What? Dude, tell her to go to
25:37
chrisandmikeshow.com she can watch it live.
25:40
I, I, I don't know, She's in the I think she's cooking.
25:44
OK, OK, yeah, that's, that's the cool thing about it.
25:47
We do this, we're live right now on Twitch and we're actually
25:50
almost in 100 countries now. So that's the cool thing.
25:53
You're being broadcast live and you know, in a couple weeks
25:56
you'll get all the stuff and then we'll actually drop the
25:57
episode and I'll send you an e-mail and you get all the
26:00
things, man. Awesome.
26:01
I. I hope, I hope I'm, I hope
26:04
people you know, that are entertained by this, you know, I
26:08
really do. Well, well, we're go ahead,
26:11
Mike. I think one of the things that
26:13
we're pretty adept at is finding people that have what Chris
26:18
likes to call an interesting lifes resume, right?
26:20
So not everybody got to be an actor, Not everybody got to be a
26:24
musician and play with some of the biggest fans like him.
26:27
And I did, you know, you and I and him have done things that
26:32
people who went to work 9:00 to 5:00 every day just never got to
26:35
experience. Not that there's anything wrong
26:37
with that. We just lived a different life,
26:39
you know? And I think that's what people
26:41
find appealing. Yeah, I, I never, I never went
26:43
to college. I just, I barely got out of high
26:46
school, but I've always been a hard worker.
26:47
And my dad, my father, when he was alive, he never really
26:51
understood that because my siblings and I are all artists
26:54
in our own little way. And then we all think outside
26:56
the box, you know, and, and I just had to do it my own way.
26:59
And, and if he was alive, he'd be proud of me.
27:02
My, my mom saw a lot of the things that I did.
27:05
And so she she, she was proud of me.
27:07
Just your character, you know, like the way you present
27:10
yourself. I your parents would be proud of
27:12
you. You have a very good aura even
27:15
through a computer, you know. Well, thanks.
27:17
I mean, listen, when I was younger, you guys, I didn't
27:19
talk. My, my Italian uncle thought
27:21
something was wrong to me because I was very, very, very
27:23
quiet. I was, I was a thinker and I was
27:26
quiet. And it and 30 years of
27:29
bartending just kind of that's my theater.
27:31
I never did theater, but bartending's my theater that is.
27:35
And that just got me out of my, you know, out of my shyness.
27:39
I was pretty shy growing up. I didn't.
27:41
I didn't talk too much. Yeah, you know what?
27:43
You know what's crazy about bartender?
27:44
So my wife's a complete introvert.
27:46
Like, like legitimately, we've been together 31 years, married
27:48
30. And she's she's slowly over this
27:51
time pulled her out of that, that introversion that she is.
27:54
But her, her gig when we got married, she bartender and she
28:00
you, you, you put her behind the bar man, you would swear to God
28:03
she was this complete extroverted person that was.
28:05
Just I get it. I totally go.
28:07
I get it. Yeah, yeah.
28:09
Action. There we go.
28:11
Well, I met my wife in the bar. I that a bar I worked in 25
28:15
years ago. Her and her wife, her and her.
28:16
I'm sorry. Her and her sister came in now
28:19
her and I, I wasn't dating anyone at the time and neither
28:22
was she. And we hit it off and we've been
28:23
together ever since. So.
28:26
But yeah, bartending's theater. I mean, I tried to stop a few
28:31
times in my life and then do regular jobs, 9 to 5 jobs, but
28:36
it just doesn't work for me. You know, Barteens bartending,
28:40
I'm good at it and it's, it's the, it's the the best thing I
28:43
know and it's great money and it allows me to do this stuff too.
28:46
So they they're flexible enough to let me leave when I get gigs
28:50
and do this and things like that.
28:51
So. Well, that's because then they
28:54
have people come back to the show.
28:55
I mean, come back to the bar, hey, Barry's working tonight.
28:57
And then they come pick your brain about what you just did
29:00
right? Exactly.
29:01
Where have you been, Barry? Where have you been, Barry?
29:03
Obviously this flick man. Just hanging out with George
29:06
Cooney. I'll, I'll go to work tomorrow
29:09
and then people are going to be like, how come you weren't at
29:11
work last night? I go, well, let me tell you.
29:12
Let me tell you what I just did in a podcast with Chris and
29:15
Mike. Right.
29:18
Who the fuck is Chris and Mike? I read, I read you guys, I read
29:23
your resume, you know, and I was getting kind of nervous.
29:27
I was like, Oh my God, man, these guys have done some big
29:29
stuff. And I'm like, but you know, I,
29:32
I'm from a firm, a firm believer in just being myself.
29:35
I'm just. That's us, man.
29:37
Yeah, that's why we're just off. Yeah, that's why, Yeah, that's
29:39
why we don't do interviews, man. That's why we don't look you up.
29:42
We have no idea who you are, what you've done.
29:44
Because we want everything on the show to be the interactions
29:47
and the reactions themselves to be real.
29:49
There's no there's no faking what we're doing because, you
29:54
know, you're here and and everything you're telling us,
29:57
it's right now. Everybody passed.
29:59
The other appeal? Yeah, I don't really.
30:01
I don't really talk about myself or what I do unless somebody
30:04
asks me. But somebody asked me or ask.
30:07
Mark the light bulb and then I'll tell them you know.
30:10
Talk to us about this right here.
30:13
About that wave. Yeah, but yeah, about the wave,
30:15
man. Oh.
30:16
That's right across the street. That's right across the street
30:18
from where I live, about two or three blocks.
30:20
That's, that's, that's Avalon Pier.
30:23
A few years ago during a big, big, big swell, and I think it's
30:28
on the north side of the pier and the wave, it closed out and
30:32
I was straightening out on it. That's a great shot.
30:34
Whoops, whoops, whoops, what's my bad?
30:36
There it is. Yeah, yeah.
30:37
That's amazing. I was straightening out because
30:40
it was all crashing down behind me and I was just straightening
30:43
it out. So that's awesome.
30:45
Much better shake back then that that would that would.
30:48
Be my like my, my Facebook cover photo, man.
30:50
Like screw everything else. Look at Oh yeah, this is Barry
30:53
Price surfing. Trying to get new ones man.
30:55
I'm trying to get new ones. They don't take photos of me
30:57
much anymore. I'm I've been surfing for 50
30:59
years. You answered my question.
31:01
I was going to say how long. That's a great one.
31:03
That's a great picture, MO Man, that was a great picture.
31:05
Is this the wife? That's my wife when we first
31:07
met. This was up in Montauk, New
31:09
York, at my, my, my aunt's party.
31:12
We went up there to, to her party.
31:14
And that's my wife, Inga. Yeah.
31:16
How long ago was that? About almost 25 years ago.
31:20
Nice. See.
31:21
Good job, man. Yeah.
31:23
Man, you guys are pulling up all kinds of photos.
31:25
Well this I work. No dude I just typed into
31:28
Facebook and found you on Facebook.
31:29
Added you to a friend. I clicked the photos button.
31:31
He's. Really good at doing this on the
31:33
fly, Barry. That's an old one.
31:35
That's an old one right there. Where are you?
31:38
I'm in the middle. OK, that's you right there.
31:41
Yeah, look at that. Oh.
31:42
Shit, wow, that. Was in good shape.
31:45
Back then. That's.
31:50
Fantastic, That's fantastic. Got got some drub there, got
31:54
some. Wings at work.
31:56
Yeah, Wings at work. So a lot of napkins.
31:57
Oh, is that for you? Is that the bar?
31:58
The bar where you work at. One of the older bars that I
32:02
used to work at and somebody was asking me to give them some
32:04
napkins. So I go, here's some napkins,
32:06
and I give them a whole stack of them.
32:09
Right on, man. That's awesome.
32:11
That's awesome. That's funny.
32:14
That's cool. Yeah, that's the old place that
32:16
worked right there too. That was like a Christmas party,
32:19
I think. Yeah, yeah.
32:20
Well, I would hope so. He's got a Christmas hat on
32:22
Santa Claus. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
32:27
Some of the old photos that yeah, that place was called
32:30
Roosters. That's it's about too mild for
32:32
me. Yeah, I found out they were
32:34
closing down during COVID. They closed and sold the
32:37
restaurant. I found out about it on their
32:39
marquee. Oh, that's the way I found out
32:42
about them closing that restaurant that was on the
32:44
marquee. That sucks.
32:47
I know it was awful. There's Barry heading out to the
32:50
waves. Yeah, that's on the north side
32:52
of the pier again, right? Now that's a great I love the
32:55
black and white man. That, to me is just the best way
32:57
to take photos. Yeah, a friend of mine shot that
33:00
and I didn't know. I didn't know they took it until
33:02
later. Until after, yeah.
33:03
Until after, yeah, that's. At the end of the pier, right
33:05
there, that bat waves. At the end of the Avalon Pier,
33:08
that was a hurricane. Right.
33:09
Yeah. Now see if that was black and
33:11
white, it'd be more powerful. Yeah, I think so too.
33:14
Well, you could make it black and white.
33:15
You could, Blake it black and white.
33:17
Yeah, you could. But yeah, I could change that.
33:19
Yeah, the power window world I did it at.
33:25
Oh, there you go. Right on.
33:27
That was a That was a billboard. Oh sweet.
33:31
That was a billboard in North Carolina.
33:33
Yeah. Nice.
33:35
Yeah. That's somebody walked when he
33:37
walked by saying hey, you're the window guy I know you from.
33:40
Somewhere, I think, I think my cousin was out in western North

39:21
actor. He does a Great American accent.
39:23
He's brilliant man. That show life that he did.

Band of brothers, too. I mean, he was amazing in that,
39:32
Yeah. Absolutely another great series.
39:35
What is this? What is this guy doing with his
39:36
hands in the in the picture, Barry, you're like you're
39:38
surfing. He's doing this like he's
39:40
framing you with his hands and no camera, like he's trying to
39:42
make a mental note of your of your surfing.
39:45
You know what it is he's about to get sprayed.
39:47
I'm getting ready to spray his hands.
39:49
Oh, OK, yes, when I when I wrap it around, I'm going to wrap it
39:52
around and then spray his nose smacking right in the.
39:54
Face all right cool so he's getting ready for that one I.
39:57
Thought he was just taking in. Your look at look, it's the dead
40:00
look, it's the dead presidents. He ever from point from point
40:03
break. Yep.
40:05
That's funny you guys pulled all these off on on Facebook.
40:08
That's so funny. Hey, Giants fan, Eli Manning
40:10
fan? Who's that?
40:12
Say again. That guy's an Eli Manning fan
40:14
right there. I like that.
40:18
Jersey on, he's got Eli's jerseys on.
40:20
Yes, he does. Yeah.
40:22
Oh, I'm on the far right. Yeah, he's talking.
40:25
I know you're, I know you're over here.
40:27
I know you're over here, Barry. But but I was drawn to Eli's
40:29
number 10, You know, I'm sorry. I mean, I know you're, I know
40:33
you're Barry John Rice, the actor, but this dude's wearing
40:35
Eli's jersey. So I had to divert my attention
40:38
that way. Well, look at the people on the
40:40
porch. They think that they're the
40:41
photographer's taking pictures of them.
40:43
That's. I know, yeah, there's a couple
40:45
of, you know why? Because because there's three of
40:46
them are Giants fans. So that's what they are.
40:48
Man, OK, that's what you got. It's just smaller on my screen.
40:51
OK, I. Got it.
40:51
Right, Right, right, right, right, right, right.
40:53
Yeah. Yeah, he's on his phone.
40:55
There you go. There.
40:56
You're surfing again. Yeah, backside.
40:59
Yeah, fun stuff. So do you surf every day?
41:03
I try to, I try to if I can in in the winter time, it's not so
41:09
much. It's starting to get really it
41:10
gets cold here in the winter time.
41:11
Oh, I bet. I bet this summer I do quite a
41:14
bit. Very cool man.
41:16
Yeah. So these are all this is.
41:19
Who's that dude? That was some guy on this movie,
41:23
an independent movie that that was that was a premiere in
41:27
Richmond, VA. He's got a good look.
41:29
Yeah, yeah, he's. Kind of looks like Grizzly
41:34
Adams, yeah. Oh, he's cleaned up.
41:36
He moved to LA. He's cleaned up now.
41:37
Look at that. So that is this another exempt
41:40
picture of that, right? That's just a different angle.
41:42
Shot right, Yeah. This is a photographer that was
41:45
swimming in the water. Yeah.
41:47
Mickey McCarthy. He's not with us anymore.
41:50
He passed away a few years ago. Well, that's unfortunate.
41:52
He was right. He was always around, man,
41:54
Always taking. That's cool.
41:56
Way ahead of his time, yeah. Have you had any of these he.
41:59
Made his own housings for the water camera.
42:01
He made his own housings for water.
42:03
Yeah, right on. Yeah.
42:07
Yeah, you should be selling these shots.
42:08
Mike asked the question because you I was going to ask the same
42:10
question, Mike. So ask the question.
42:12
Have you framed any of these? No, I I got a couple photos
42:17
framed for myself, but none of none of these.
42:20
You should sell those as prints man, those are amazing.
42:23
Shots those are. Hey that's a good idea I might
42:26
take your your advice on. That There you go.
42:28
Yeah. Yeah, because, you know, it's,

43:51
Yeah, Getting in the barrel, Yeah.
43:52
Small barrel. Yeah, how'd surfing get you in
43:56
the acting? Kind of with with the print ads
44:00
and the videos, some of some videos from local stuff and then
44:03
just kind of just kind of evolved into there.
44:05
I was like, man, if you're going to interview me about surfing,
44:07
do I want to do other things on TV, you know?
44:09
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
44:14

44:16
No, I'm taking off. I'm taking off on a wave, Yeah.
44:18
OK, that's all. That's.
44:20
Oh, that's badass right there. How fast do you go when you're
44:22
going down a wave like that? Do you know have any idea what
44:26
the speed is? Oh, I don't know, a couple
44:28
miles. I mean, I mean, you know, not,
44:30

44:34
OK, OK, OK. Some faster than others.

Yeah, OK. Well, that's not.
44:51
Fun. Cigarette smoking pill taking
44:54

44:56
Alice that that resonates. What was that about?
44:59
It was about. It was kind of a the added.
45:03
Alzheimer's Was it Alzheimer's E.
45:06
Cancer. Cancer.
45:07
And he, he thinks back to his earlier days when he had met
45:11
this girl Alice, and he fell in love with her and this and that.
45:13
OK. Yeah.
45:15
And he ends up leaving her and her daughter, everything, his
45:18
whole estate, which. Which he dies.
45:20
He ends up dying. OK, OK.
45:22
Poor guy. That was a punch shoot.
45:24
It didn't go anywhere, but it was a punch shoot.
45:26
Yeah. OK, yeah, I, well, I recognize
45:28
the name. That's why I asked.
45:29
I reckon I for some reason it resonated with me.
45:31
Fine, that's one of the Hurricanes.
45:35
Surf Feast. Yeah.
45:37
Oh, so you're surfing on the on the waves during a hurricane?
45:41
Dude, you're crazy, man. You're the man.
45:44
Definitely an adrenaline junkie. Right, there's that life resume
45:50
thing again. I hate to ask this question
45:52
Barry, but have you ever gotten hurt surfing?
45:55
Yeah, yeah, I have. I have.
45:58
I have. I've had stitches right here
46:00
from surfing. I've had stitches right here
46:02
from surfing and that what happened.
46:05
Had 11 stitches right here from surfing, right here from the
46:07
board hitting me. That's what I wanted to know.
46:10
I've always. On the left side, it's always on
46:11
the left side of me. Yeah.
46:13
But yeah, yeah, I've, I've got hitting the, you know, stitches
46:16
here, here and then right here on the on the chin.
46:20
But you know, you get hit in the arms and the face and all that
46:24
stuff too. You always wipe out.
46:25
You always get hit. How many encounters were
46:28
sharked? I've seen them, man.
46:31
I'm terrified of sharks. Terrified.
46:34
But I've seen them. I've seen black tips out here.
46:36
If you've seen bull sharks, a black tip really won't bother
46:39
you. You see them like a couple 100
46:41
yards ahead of you. You can see the black tip, but
46:43
you see porpoises all the time. You know the difference between
46:46
porpoises and corpuses do this, but sharks, sharks do this.
46:51
You know they do that. And then if you see a bull
46:53
shark, get out of the water because they'll attack you.
46:57
But I've seen a hammerhead across the street.
46:59
I wasn't surfing, but I've seen a hammerhead at the end of the
47:01
pier across the street in October probably 25 years ago.
47:07
Wow, like 14 foot long. Yeah.
47:09
But you've never had any problems while you're out there
47:11
surfing with the shark? No, no.
47:14
You kind of feel something every now and then.
47:16
You'll feel something on your on your leg and you don't know if
47:18
it's a fish or a flounder or, or yeah, but it still scares you.
47:23
You get bumped, you know you get bumped and it scares the hell
47:25
out of you. Damn right it now.
47:27
It's terrifying, bumping me because it's either a fish or a
47:30
dead body. Yeah, I've never seen a dead
47:33
body either, but I don't, I don't think I'll watch you.
47:36
You you don't surf the East River.
47:39
No thanks. No, that's New York.

that are in distress, though. I've, I've had people in
47:54
distress before in the RIP currents and you grab them on
47:57
your surfboard, you calm them down and you bring it.
47:59
You bring them in on your surfboard.

49:43
hundred of them. I worked last Tuesday night.
49:46
I was busy as hell. It was worth it to.
49:48
Make good money. If you're closer, I'd come down.
49:51
My wife loves margaritas. That's her thing, man.
49:53
That's her jam. I'd love you guys to come visit.
49:55
You can stay on my air can be. Wait on, it'll take us a while
50:00
to get there. I don't think we'll get there in
50:01
time. Maybe by next Tuesday.
50:02
You guys are located in where? What city?
50:05
Which? I'm, I'm in Arizona.
50:07
You're in Arizona, OK. In Mike's, In Mike's in
50:10
Illinois, Yeah. OK, cool, cool.
50:13
Yeah, yeah, yeah, just like everybody else.
50:16
I think I was getting confused on the time, the time, you know,
50:19
changed. But I'm glad I got on, you know,
50:22
I was trying to get on with my PC as like a PC is not working.
50:24
Let me grab my phone. I'll put it on the the the
50:27
tripod and I'm wearing my video of my auditions right here.
50:30
Yeah, cool. Yeah, it works out great.
50:32
Yeah. Mike and I were talking that
50:33
before the MM and I were talking about that before the show.
50:36
Like I got to figure out a better way because you're not
50:38
the only person ever confuses me.
50:40
I live in Arizona. My clock never changes.
50:41
Ever. Right.
50:42
Right. Ours just never changes.
50:44
So he was talking about we use this platform called Riverside.
50:47
Apparently there's a new calendar feature.
50:48
So I'm going to look into that because we need to have you back
50:51
on. You've been fun to talk to.
50:52
Thank you. And you too, you know, we'll
50:55
definitely get you back on a couple months just to follow up
50:56
and see how things are going with you.
50:58
What we have about 8 minutes left.
50:59
So what's on the horizon for Barry aside from bartending and
51:03
and Airbnb? Do you have any, any roles
51:05
coming up that you're shooting? Any things your projects you're
51:07
working on? I'm I'm on hold for Virginia
51:10
tourism shoot in Virginia Beach. I'm on hold for that.
51:14
I'm I'm hoping I get that. That'll be cool.
51:16
It's only an hour and a half up the road and Beverly Brock,
51:20
Beverly just sent me a, an audition that's going to be
51:24
filming and in Kentucky. And they'll put me up in a hotel
51:28
and they'll, they'll, they'll pay for my travel expenses and
51:33
things like that. I just need to put in a good
51:36
audition. It's like 3 pages.
51:37
So yeah, I, I think I'm playing a man that's kind of losing his
51:44
mind a little bit. He's he's getting, I think he's
51:45
starting to get Alzheimer's a little bit.
51:47
That'll be a challenge. So I, I'm going to read for that
51:50
and I'm going to, I'm putting that in by Friday and I got a
51:55
couple other things pending that I'm hoping that I'll get as
51:59
well. So I'm always trying to get more
52:03
and I'm never going to quit. Well, I I so earlier you talked
52:06
about you do you do auditions like you film because we had we
52:09
had a lady on about a year ago, I think, and she ended up after
52:13
our while she was on her show, she dropped the bomb that she
52:16
was in the new Superman movie. I don't know.
52:18
But but she was just an extra that was on film.
52:22
I don't think she had lines. She had lines, Mike.
52:23
I don't remember. I don't think so.
52:25
I think she said she was a background extra, but she was in
52:27
the movie. Yeah, which is cool, but she but
52:30
she had so she had kind of enlightened us that all the
52:32
auditions and stuff are now basically not done in person.
52:35
You all, you film whatever you film at home and ship them off
52:39
because she she alluded to like doing her audition tapes like 2
52:42
in the morning when everybody's asleep.
52:44
Yeah, so you referenced in the earlier in the conversation that
52:47
you you you send your reels out or everyone to call them and
52:49
then you get a call back via Zoom.
52:51
So how does that work? I mean, how do they to me, if
52:54
you're if you're on a Zoom, I mean, you can kind of get a
52:56
sense, because we can with this, we can sense you have a good
52:58
presence, a really strong aura and you know, we can tell you're
53:01
not an asshole. You know, that kind of stuff
53:03
that well, you know, I mean, but that kind of stuff comes through
53:05
the screen, right. But from so is it, is it in your
53:09
opinion? Because obviously you started
53:11
acting before the whole Zoom thing came to play, right?
53:14
Absolutely. Yeah.
53:15
Do you feel like it was better face to face auditions as
53:18
opposed to the Zoom thing? Yeah, it goes both ways.
53:23
It goes both ways. The the face to face stuff is I,
53:28
I would travel to Charlotte like 6 or 7 hours away to audition
53:32
for something and cry the whole way home because I fucked that
53:35
up. God, what a loser.
53:38
You know? And you're just like, you're
53:40
beating yourself up. You just beat yourself up, beat
53:43
yourself up, beat yourself up. And then sometimes you'll,
53:46
you'll go do a shitty audition and you'll end up getting it.
53:49
You're like, damn, you know, what the hell did that happen?
53:52
But at home, when you do it digitally, you video at home and
53:55
you, and you upload it and send it in.
53:57
Like, I can do it. I can, I can do it 10 times
54:00
before I'm satisfied and then redo it over and over again
54:04
until I'm until I got it perfect.
54:06
And then you send it in. But then there's a lot of time
54:09
constraints too. I'm very busy.
54:10
So like Friday, I got to get this audition in by Friday and I
54:14
got a lot of studying to do and, and you know, and so, so you,
54:19
you, you get to take your time and, and you get to do it a few
54:22
times from home and just as long as you got your lighting right
54:26
and your, your sound right and everything like that.
54:28
And it works out pretty good. And then when you cheat, you can
54:32
also put the script and tape it to the camera and read it
54:35
sometimes ago. I'll I'll memorize that later.
54:39
Nice, nice. There you go.
54:40
The little shitting things you do, but.
54:43
A little tip from your Uncle Barry.
54:45
That's awesome. What so you guys?
54:46
Said a little tip from your Uncle Barry.
54:48
Uncle Barry Yeah, don't do that. You want to, you want to be
54:52
memorizing off the page for sure.
54:53
Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Definitely.
54:55
Yeah, yeah. But yeah, it goes both ways, you
54:58
know, digitally, you know, it's good.
55:00
And in person is good too, so. OK, well, cool.
55:03
Well, we definitely want to have you come back on.
55:05
So we do this Tuesdays and Fridays.
55:07
Fridays we can. We have more time to play with
55:09
because we do, we shoot it in the afternoon, 2:30.
55:12
So when we get off air, we'll we'll figure out another date to
55:15
have you come on. Yeah, cuz it's later.
55:17
Here, it's OK. Yeah, cool.
55:19
Yeah, it's 8:00 here, 8:00 PM. So OK, yeah, yeah.
55:22
It's just five here now. So you're 3 hours difference.
55:24
Woo. I thought it was 2.
55:26
My bad. You're good, You're good, you're
55:28
good. I didn't.
55:29
I never know man, cuz I never changed my clock, right?
55:31
We're going to figure you're not the first person that's that's
55:34
had an issue with this. So we're going to figure out,
55:36
I'm going to figure out the clock thing and figure out how.
55:38
I even googled it. I'm going to.
55:42
I'm going to take a screenshot of my desktop and I'm going to
55:47
send it to Chris because I have every time zone accounted for.
55:52
I got you. Yeah, Apple let you do that.
55:55
There you go, 71. Two there you.
55:57
Go. There you go.
55:57
I will. There you go.
