Give us your elevator speech about who you are, what you do,

(01:52):
OK, First off, my name is ShamonTurner.
I come from Gary, IN. Gary, IN.
I now live in California. I've been out here since 2014 or
sorry, 2017, pursuing acting, working as a brand ambassador.
(02:17):
I've sitting since written a book on how to get into that
life. Sweet.
And yeah, right now I just recently started a business and
a lot of stuff in between. Cool.
All right, cool. So what's your business?
What's the business you started?So the business is, so it's a
(02:40):
LED digital dance floor we have at the center we rented out for
advanced parties. Yeah, I saw that on your on your
business page. Nice.
We have a little bit of a delay going on.
So you're so the. LED dance.
Floor when you're when? So the whole floor itself is LED
and you can and you can make different lights, different
(03:02):
patterns or what. Correct.
It's a pixel floor. So for every square, which is 2
feet by two feet, there's 64 pixels.
And I can, you know, write on it, type on it live.
I can also upload a actual videoor image as well.
(03:27):
That. That's legit dude.
That'd be awesome for weddings and stuff.
You know you can be dancing on the bride and groom.
Oh yeah, that's yo, that's a plan.
We're we're down to party with you if you let us.
That's awesome, man. What's the name of your company?
(03:49):
It's called Epic experiences. You guys are.
Epic experiences. Are you getting a are you
getting a delay from us? Are we just getting that delay
from you? Just out of curiosity.
I'm getting a delay from you guys as well.
Is it? Is it potentially my?
(04:11):
OK, OK, that's weird. I, I don't know.
We're just, we're not used to having a delay.
So that's why I was just asking to make sure we're not, we're
not, you know, glitching in the matrix.
Somewhere I'm guessing we'll work through it.
Yeah, yeah. Him and I had.
Delays I might. Get two of us for the first 48
episodes. Yeah, you're good.
(04:33):
Oh wow. Are you hearing me in real time,
Chris? I'm hearing you in real time.
Like, yeah, I got a little bit of delay with with Tremont
though. Yeah, I do too.
Like 2 seconds. OK.
Let me. See.
If maybe I. And there's a.
Huge delay and let me I'm going to OK, I'm going to change my
(04:55):
Internet over to something that might go.
OK, give me. One second, all right.
Cool that may that may fix the problem.
Sure absolutely man. We're just going to make sure
you come across as clear as possible.
Let's. See.
Yeah, in the final product he would have seemed together with
us, but it's just kind of weird for you and I right now.
(05:17):
Yeah. OK.
Any change by chance? Yeah, I'm thinking so.
Say something again. Sorry ladies, and.
Gentlemen, OK, here we go. Technical difficulties.
I think we might be back. I think I might have fixed my
(05:38):
issue baby. That's a lot better.
A lot better. It happens every now and then,
'cause I have a couple, yeah. OK.
Yeah, I have a couple Internet too.
So when I when I put on the wrong Internet by accident, it's
like, oh, it just lags, man. It just lags.
And we just want to be able to hear you when we.
Yeah, rookie. So we yeah, yeah, yeah.
(05:59):
It's no. That's all right, man.
That's way better. So that'll that'll help the flow
for sure. It would have been fine in the
end. This program is crazy.
I had like a 10 second delay when I was having Internet
difficulties. And when I've listened back to
the podcast, it was like I was right there with the two of
them, but they couldn't deal with it because it was so long.
(06:21):
You know, 10 seconds is a long time, but it pushed it all back
together seamlessly. It was crazy.
Power of technology, man. The AI world that we're living
in. It's amazing that any of this
works. Chris says it all the time.
You're in Los Angeles, I'm in the middle of a cornfield, and
Chris is in outside Phoenix. Yeah.
(06:46):
All right, so it's called. It's called.
That's what's up. That is how you can make it
work. Yeah, that's that's, that's way.
What's up? So, so we have a Tremont Turner
on. We had a little bit of glitches
going on. So we were going to kind of just
revisit what we talked about. You have an LED dance floor,
right? With, with pixel, the dance
floor pixel and you can put images, words, you can, you can
(07:09):
take wedding, you can take the wedding, the grooms and the
brides and all the pictures and stuff and put it on a dance
floor. So you're, you're like, that's
legit, dude. That would be really, that is so
cool, right? Brilliant idea because we just
had my daughter's wedding and that would have been a cool
thing to have on the on the on the floor while you're dancing.
Absolutely right. Yeah, way to go, Tremont.
Brilliant. Oh yeah, it's if you.
(07:29):
Learn nothing from the show. If you learn nothing from the
show, you just revolutionize dancing.
So what made this idea come about?
I mean, where did you dream thisup and where?
Where did it come? I got to know, man, now.
Now I'm fascinated. Well, honestly, my wife and I
were getting married and we're like, hey, we're wanting to get
(07:53):
out of the rat race, right? And this is only, this is still
as of recent as the end of last year.
And so we decided to look up what kind of cool niche business
that could be out there. I've been working in the event
world for the better part of 10 years, 12 years actually.
(08:17):
And we wanted something unique. We wanted something that not
everybody had. And I'd be able to kind of
network and be able to get off the ground, you know, with it.
And we were just looking around,looking on Alibaba and trying to
come up with ideas and came across the floor and it's like,
(08:38):
oh, OK, that looks, that looks interesting.
I'm like, OK, there's different kinds of floors because I've,
I've seen LED floors before, like the ones, but I've never
seen ones that you could put video on, you could write on,
you know, things like that, No. That's what.
And I was. Like my attention?
(09:00):
Yeah, that's legit, man. Yeah, because people love
customization, you know, people love to, you know, see their
name or I, I messed around when I was kind of figuring out how
to make it work. And I told my friend Joe I was
like, give me something that I could put on it.
He's like, ooh, how about Thundercats?
(09:21):
And so I put the the intro to Thundercats on.
Yeah, right on. That's awesome.
That's crazy. So you can put so this shit can
be completely customized. You could like.
You could like. Yeah, that's what caught my
attention, man, was you could dovideos, you could do pictures,
like you said, with, you know, your daughter's wedding.
You could have had either a video of all the pictures.
(09:44):
Yeah, put the pictures in the floor, right.
You can do all customize it up to that level, right?
Yeah. Oh yeah, and if you have a
drone, especially the the footage from it looks killer.
I can't. Yeah, exactly.
That's that's so cool, man. I love it.
(10:06):
So you can play the entire episode of The Office on the on
the dance floor while you're dancing?
That would be awesome. Play Play the episode of them
having a dance party. Yeah, yeah.
It could I Unfortunately The Office is one of those shows I
still have yet to actually watchthe whole thing.
(10:28):
Oh. Do yourself a favor.
Yeah, that's OK. It's hilarious.
Yeah, I just, you know, it was just, it's one of those shows
that that he, if you want to just tune out the world for 1/2
an hour, there you go. It's just that.
That's what I use it for too, yeah.
Stupid. Yeah.
Kind of like Seinfeld. You just you don't have to.
Yeah, it's what you absolutely go to sleep, laugh.
(10:48):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know, Oh.
Yeah, that's like me with FamilyGuy.
Put that time before before bed.Yeah, see, there you go.
Yeah, Yeah, right. Exactly.
Family Guy seems all the same. So you mentioned earlier when we
first got you on here, you had you wrote a book and the and the
book kind of I like the sound ofthe book.
So I want you to talk about the book again because I, you know,
because of our little glitches in the beginning here.
(11:09):
So you're in, you're in. Oh, look at that.
You're in California. Hold that up closer.
Yeah, hold it up closer. Hold it up closer and then you
can take a picture and stick it on our on our Facebook page.
The bucks behind the brand. That's cool.
Yeah, I like. It the bucks behind the brand
right on. So so give us give us a little
Yeah, yeah, it's not anything writing a book.
(11:32):
OK, So what's, what's the, what's the, what's the premise
of that? So the premise of it, there's
this whole world of experientialmarketing that not too many
people know about, right? Like you go to events, you go to
conventions and you never reallythink about the workers that are
(11:56):
there. Or, you know, you see these
other activations that are live or someone's putting on a
demonstration or they're giving out free stuff and you don't
think anything of the person that's doing the work, right.
So there is a whole yeah work get in the gig life or gig
(12:20):
economy called brand ambassador work in experiential marketing
and I've. Heard I've heard of I started
this. I've I've heard about it.
It's it's OK. Oh, I'm getting a very crazy
delay now. Yeah, we're delaying again.
(12:47):
Let me see, is there anything I can do real quick?
Like let me see. What kind of connection are you
on, just out of curiosity? I believe it was a We're on A5.
What is it five GI think as far as I understand it.
(13:16):
Yeah, that should be really. Fast.
Yeah, you would think so. Mine's 1 gig down, 1 gig out
let. Me see if I do OK are we any
fast are you? On cable again, Chris.
(13:41):
Hello. Hello.
Are you back with Cox? OK, who?
Me. OK.
Is this Yeah. Are you guys hearing me?
Is anything better? Yeah, we've always.
Yeah, we've already heard you. It's just a matter of the delay
or not, that's all. So did you hear me just now?
Oh, got it. OK, well.
Yeah. Yeah, it's just the delay.
(14:09):
It's all good. We just.
OK, should I start again or go again?
Yeah, well, let's talk about thebook a little bit more.
Yeah, 'cause I, I don't want to lose.
I don't, I, you know, we, we have an hour.
So I don't want to lose. I don't want to lose Why we're
why we have you on here. So, yeah, let's talk about the
book again real quick. And if and for those of you if,
if you're hearing this twice, you know, technology, sometimes
(14:30):
it sucks. No, it'll be fine in the end.
OK, cool. OK, OK, so I wrote this book
because I've been doing this forthe last 10 plus years.
I started when I was in college and I was doing some fast food
(14:51):
work. Yeah, I've been doing it for
over 10 years now. When I was probably 22, a friend
of mine told me I should get into it.
I would be really good at it. It's working for different
(15:11):
brands. It's giving out free stuff and
it's it's freelance work. So when you're done with one
job, you can pick up another one.
You know, that's, that's one of the coolest things about it, but
also it's also the hardest thingbecause it's not consistent, but
(15:32):
it's able to put you in some really, really cool and
interesting places from festivals to business
conferences, tech conferences, music conferences.
I know you guys are musicians. I worked for Nam.
I worked at the Nam convention, which is one of the biggest
(15:54):
music conventions in the world. Absolutely.
And that was cool, didn't even know it existed, but I worked it
2 weekends and it was such a cool, cool experience.
You know, I learned a lot about the music industry that I really
didn't know about. So if you even have no idea what
(16:18):
you even want to do with your life kind of thing, and
especially if you're younger, you can pick this up and just
play around with it for a littlewhile.
And it'll help connect you in somany different, so many
different fields with so many different kind of people.
And if you know how to work it, you can utilize it to elevate
(16:38):
you to other things. Cool.
So definitely a networking platform for somebody that wants
to just to network and kind of engage with other people in
different walks of life. That sounds like a really good
thing to do personally, and so your books for sure.
You could even. Travel Take.
(17:00):
Advantage of that, right? On Oh yeah, that's the plan.
Like I honestly, I started this because partially I wanted the
freedom to be able to pursue acting, you know, be with my
friends and all that. And this enables me to do just
(17:20):
that. You know, I am still able to
pursue acting. I'm still able to make money.
And it's even better money than you would with, you know, a fast
food job or, or you know, something where you're doing
like really crazy menial work every single day.
(17:42):
Yeah, yeah. So this is just you're getting
paid to socialize, right? Socialize.
I mean, it can be a grind. It's not the easiest thing in
the world, but if you have a high social battery and you're
able to be on your feet sometimes for hours and hours,
(18:03):
and you could deal with, you know, maybe not necessarily
knowing what your next job is going to be.
Yeah, it's a job for you. Cool, cool.
So let's let's let's talk about your acting career.
What have you done? Anything, anything on a on a
grand scale, it's. Going to be cool.
(18:27):
Nothing on a grand scale. Honestly, I have not.
Nothing. I have, I have my ups and downs
with if I'm like even pursuing it, if you will.
I just got some head shots done recently like yesterday.
So we're jumping back in. I have a new agent that's been
(18:47):
getting a lot of auditions. So thank you.
Thank you. It's only a matter of time.
Right on. So let me ask you about the
agent thing for people that don't understand the whole world
of acting, right. So an agent, you hire an agent,
the agent gets a percentage of anything that you make for
whatever you if when you get hired for a gig, right?
(19:09):
Is that how they get paid? That's how they make their
money. Correct.
OK, so there's nothing up front.You don't got to say here's, you
know, here's you got. You don't have to give him a
retainer for anything. You're just, you're just, he set
you up on auditions and they want you to get a job because if
you get that job and they get their RIP.
(19:33):
Exactly. When I got my agent, I think
they found me on casting networks, which is where a lot
of actors find their work. And they wanted to, OK, They
wanted to represent me. And I was like, yeah, I yeah,
for sure. And it's a commercial agency,
(19:55):
and they've been getting me much, many more auditions since
my last agent. I don't have to pay them.
And I just get my headshots, which headshots are the things
that cost a lot and do classes as you know, as I can afford it,
right? OK, gotcha.
(20:16):
So what? So it's called casting networks
or what's it called? Casting networks.
That's where if you're wanting to really take the acting thing
seriously, you're going to set up a profile.
You upload your photos, you upload your resume and videos,
(20:39):
and that's where you search for jobs.
Right now, well, currently Tremont, there's 10,152 rules
waiting for you. Is that?
What it says? Yeah, there's 10,152 rules
waiting for you and. It's going to be a busy dude.
10,000 plus high quality rules published monthly on Casting
(21:02):
Billboard 60 plus project types including TV, film, Voice Over,
Commercial and more. And they don't tell you that
10,400 of those are in porn. Right.
Right. I mean, maybe Scientology is on
there, or you can make films. This guy's got to make a living.
(21:25):
Is it seriously Scientology? That's crazy, dude.
Scientology. That's insane man.
Scientology if you see gold golden productions.
OK, no, this is this is pretty legit, man.
Like it drops it, it drops like like here's one.
It's called Paper Tiger. I've done my research on them
(21:46):
crazy fuckers Tremont. Right, so here's here's a here's
a here's a post for for for a job, right?
It's called Paper Tiger. It's a Russian organized crime.
It's SAG AFTRA covered which SAGof Screen Actors Guild.
I don't know what AFTRA is. What's AFTRA?
Tremont AFTRA, What's that? The other.
(22:07):
Union. It's a part of the.
Union. I yeah, I don't belong to the
union. I'm not with the union.
I'm not in union. Right now, shooting in New York.
OK, OK. I belong to the Songwriters
Union. Right on.
I'm in. I have.
BM not it's OK, yeah. BMG, you're in the other one.
(22:28):
Yeah, Yeah. I'm a published ASCAP YEAH
composer, and he's a published BMG composer.
This is crazy. All the stuff that you have on
here, man. You could.
You could. It's the other one.
Yeah, the music group, I forget what the B stands for, but it's
it's just when, when my when my last band I was in, we we were
(22:49):
signed under an umbrella of Universal Records is called
Platinum Plus Records. So when we released our CD back
in that day, they BMG was the one that we registered the label
registered group with for whatever, I don't know.
It's just whoever you go to, they're both, they both equally
serve the same purpose. They collect royalties for any
(23:10):
time your music's played right on your behalf is basically you
know. So, so it's like if we if we had
a billion. Dollars get. $12.00 yeah, yeah,
you know, you know, that's about.
Capitalist. OK, so actually he'd probably
get about 34,000, right? Right.
(23:31):
And that's accurate. So how big, how big was Gary IN
when you left it population wise?
Because I like the human interest side of things.
So I want to you're coming from Gary, IN, which is the Midwest
Podunk, right? I'm going there a week from
Saturday by the. Way right on.
Make sure you stop by to. Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, OH.
There you go, you still got family.
You still got family in Gary, IN.
(23:53):
Mike can swing by and say hi. Yeah, I do.
I do. Buy your drink.
All right. Both my mom and dad are are
still there. I haven't been there in a in a
little while, but yeah, when I left it was it's it's it's not
got it doesn't have a lot of people straight up, but it's
(24:16):
been working to to, you know, bring in more business.
Like the Hard Rock is fairly new, so make sure you check that
out. They have Michael Jackson stuff
there. I went there once, this will be
my second visit. I really enjoyed it man.
The place is really, really nice.
(24:40):
Yeah, I've been there once myself.
There's definitely a share of casinos out there.
I used to work at the Horseshoe Casino.
There's not a lot to do when it's winter time, you know that.
Yeah, pretty much. You sit, you chill and you maybe
(25:03):
go to your local spot. That's about it.
Where could the snows? It's snowing in the winter.
Yeah, you got to have something to do.
So people gamble. I get it.
Oh, is that it? Oh yeah, OK, we would have.
Breakfast. Sit in the house the entire
winter. Yeah, so, so I was showing
(25:25):
houses yesterday because my, my gig is real estate guy there,
Tremont. I was showing houses then in
their, in their dining room. They had two Vegas slot machines
and the kid, the 15 year old kidwas like, well, I guess if
you're going to have a gambling problem, you might as well
gamble your own money, your own machine.
So you're not really losing anything.
That's a brilliant kid. Right.
(25:45):
I was like, dude, this is, you know, you can't argue with that
logic. You got to feed that addiction.
It's your own machine. So it's your own money you're
putting in, but it's your own money you're getting out.
So it's it's a win, win. Right, I like it.
Yeah, so we got the LED dance floor.
We got Tremont Turner, the actorand the author.
(26:08):
What else? What else?
What else do we know about you and your life, man?
You're married. You said you're married.
How many kids? Any kids?
No kids, no kids yet, but my wife and I have a very
interesting story. OK, cool, let's see.
(26:31):
To start off, let's see we met in Vegas on Tinder.
Didn't actually meet in person at all, but we matched, matched
on Tinder. Then we kept talking for about
two months. Then we met in person in Vegas
and we did long distance for about a year.
(26:55):
She lived in Oregon, I was in Indiana and two years later we
ended up moving out to California and we had roommates
and five years into us living out here in California, I ended
up getting to propose at John Legend concert.

Not very long. Yeah, I don't remember.
We were I. I met her on I.
Was going to say, what's the story?
And then she blew me off till, yeah, I met her on her birthday.
I, I worked at a place in, in the East Valley, which we took
care of mentally handicapped is,I mean, it's not fully correct,
(29:06):
but that's what I'm going to call it.
So I ran group homes. So they were like people like
our age, but mentally they were seven years old.
So I was on the social committee, Shocking.
And I was going around the houses during before Christmas
to film all the staff with the clients.
We call them clients. So when we had Santa, which I
played Santa, my buddy at the time played elf, he was Elvis.
(29:26):
So he was had long sideburns like Elvis and was on his knees.
So you know, he looked like Elvis and I was dressed up as
Santa. Well, behind us we had this big
screen that we would play all the interaction of all the staff
in all 32 group homes. So I would, I was driving around
the, the valley in the East Valley, you know, stopping at
the group homes, going in video recording the staff with the
clients and things like that, having fun.
(29:48):
Well, where she worked was an all female house.
So that means all the clients were, were, were women and all
the staff were women. And my luck as I showed up
during shower time. So they open the door like,
yeah, you're not coming in here.I'm like, well, shit, I don't
want to come back because it's, it's a further out, you know,
house and like why you're comingback because we can't let you
in. I'm like, well, shit, So I ended
(30:08):
up coming back some other day, but she had when they open the
door, she was I could see her sitting on this chair.
She's wearing these red Rockies and her leg was propped up over
the side of the thing. I'm I was like, damn.
And just a little back story, Tremont.
I had just shaved my head, so about a month or so before that.
So and I did it in a time that II had a roommate that was like
(30:29):
super in the Louis Farrakhan of stuff.
So he'd wear all that Muslim stuff.
I'm walking around in a red and black flannel, not understanding
that the dark side of the shavedhead people or skinheads with
red and black and Doc Martin. So it's completely ignorant
because I don't have that. That's not who I am, right.
So we're walking around togetherin malls and shit and people are
walking away from us. Like that's really weird, man.
(30:51):
So, but as I was trying to, you know, go out on dates and shit,
girls are just looking like shit.
Fuck off. Because I look when I my head's
like I had that look. He did this in like 19, he did
this in like 1993, four, whatever.
Yeah, right when it wasn't done,man, unless you were a Skinhead.
(31:12):
Dude, we got booked with a bunchof Skinhead bands.
We did. And that was the first time I I
came from a small town, right? So I lived in Chicago for two
years going to college before that.
So I had a little bit of, you know, acclamation to the city,
but I hadn't experienced a lot of things.
And we got booked with all thesebands and I learned they hate
(31:33):
everybody. That's not them, right?
They thought he was like one of their brothers.
And the rest of us, they wanted to fucking kill like long hairs.
We hate you. I was.
Like Jesus, man, it was interesting, man.
So when I opened the door, rightand she was there and, and, and
we engaged a little bit in conversation and then I kind of
I got her number and I was kind of poking her to go out.
(31:53):
She blew me off, blew me off because I didn't know at the
time, but her dad was in town. So then we ended up going out on
our first date, February 19th. And then we ended up getting
married a year of the day. So I met her in December.
She blew me off. I thought she we our first date,
we talked marriage and shit because it was just, we just
knew, right. And, you know, 30 years later,
(32:16):
you know, where we get along really well, We don't, we don't
argue. People don't, don't really grasp
that concept. We don't, we were just opposite
enough to work, you know, And it's just like, you know, we've
been together that long. I'm 55, she's 50.
So we've pretty much been with each other more, more than half
our lives. And it's just, I mean, it's we
still, it's still like a honeymoon, man.
We still love each other. We're still in love with each
(32:37):
other. It's not.
And I think due to me, that's the part that is the most
appealing to like your situationbecause so many people just play
fucking games. And that's something that I was
never willing to do, right? I only had that one time in my
life and I fucked that up. So I have myself to blame for
that. But that part is I admire you
(32:59):
guys for that. The fact that you don't argue,
that you work things out, that it's just that's so appealing.
That doesn't happen a lot. Yeah, we have.
We don't. We don't 100% agree on
everything but but we don't the only time.
That's a different story than having like not not.
We were screaming at each other.You.
Know yeah, we only really had one of those and that was the
(33:21):
the day before I stopped drinking because I'm 20 years
sober too Tremont. So the day before we stopped
drinking, we had that that just major blow up and I woke up and
like something's got to change and thank you.
So I you know, I changed and we're still together to this day
because of that. So I don't think we would have
been had I not changed had I notwoken up.
(33:42):
There's no way because she was already after sober Chris came
to light and I could be talked to and reason with and I wasn't
I wasn't an asshole drunk, meaning I wasn't, you know,
violent or I just wasn't there emotionally.
You know, I I remember one one of the stories I tell so people
can grasp that when Christmas I I got her diamond earrings.
I'm just I tossed the matter in the living room.
(34:02):
I was like Merry Christmas and walked out of the room, you
know, kind of like just a total Dick move, you know, but, but
that's how I, that's what the alcohol did to me.
It just made me not be there emotionally.
I was there as a vessel. And you know, I mean, I was a
deck, but I wasn't, I wasn't verbally abusive, wasn't
physically abusive. I still paid the bills.
I still did my job. I you know.
You were like zombie Chris. Yeah, it just, it wasn't.
(34:26):
It wasn't something Chris. It wasn't the best.
Yeah, that's a good way to explain it, though.
It wasn't. It wasn't well.
That's how I described myself when I went through my addiction
was, you know, there's bits and pieces of it I remember
wholeheartedly, but there's things people tell me that I'm
like, really? I I did that, you know.
Yeah, yeah. And again, I mean, I, you know,
(34:48):
I can't imagine my life without her.
So it's that's, that's the grateful of the one of the great
most grateful moments of my lifeis waking up that next day and
realizing, oh shit, something's got to change, you know, and it
did. So I'm still here and we're
still together and we have two adult grown kids that, you know,
are very well adjusted. And, you know, there's our our
son struggles a little bit with trying to find what we have
(35:09):
because what we have, my wife and I was, I think is so rare
because we are so opposite, right?
And, and because we are so opposite, it works.
And the yin Yang that we have and we bring the table.
It's just, you know, it's, it's just a cool thing, man.
There's nothing like it. So you got 29 years to catch up
there, Dramont? Here's a secret.
(35:30):
Here's a secret for you. Get your own comforters.
Have. Separate comforters, what's up?
Yeah, yeah, get get your own comforters.
If you have your own comforter, you have a happier life.
You get a comforter. She gets a comforter because I
sleep hot, she sleeps cold. So therefore I'm not pulling at
her blanket and comforter. She's not pulling at mine.
(35:53):
That is genius. You're still in the same bed,
mind. You never heard, you just.
Have your own sheet and comforter.
They're genius, dude. It really.
Is that's money right there? Because you can cuddle before,
right? You go to bed, you wake up, she
can just come over and cuddle you in the morning.
But you still have your own environment of comfort, see?
(36:13):
I love it, I really do. That's genius.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of people don't realize
that when anybody asks for marriage, you buy something like
#1 separate comforters. It works straight up.
OK, I'll keep that in mind. Yeah, I'll keep.
That in mind, 'cause no, we definitely have hard.
Times it's more so my snoring, but.
(36:34):
Yeah, well, that's that's that'swhat I'm saying.
So, but but talk to your wife first.
Don't just show up with a new comforter.
Honey, this is yours. Because to be like what?
This is how things are going to be now.
No, no, no. That's true, yeah.
You know, because you, I mean you because when you're sleeping
(36:55):
right, you sleep your body temperature different than your
wife when you sleep right. That's why I say it's genius.
Yeah, because, because if your wife's like my wife, man, she's
always cold. It could be, it could be ninety
120° outside. I got thermostat set 78 inside
and she's going and she's going to blanket.
Like really? She's always cold.
Oh, yeah, See, she's the one that's always hot.
(37:15):
Has to make sure we turn there. Turn there.
So there you go. No, we're good.
See, but there you go then. So she, she gets your own
comfort, gets your own comfort. So that way you can.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got a fan.
We got a fan and we got a fan. We got a fan up top and a fan.
But the fan's more for white noise, right?
You got to have that white noisewhen you're sleeping, you know,
you got to have something going on.
Of course, you live in California, so you just open
(37:37):
your window. You got white noise, I'm sure.
Oh yeah, no, we had. Yeah, we have to keep our
windows shut because we hear allthe ambient noise of everywhere
around us. I honestly I've become a fan of
like quiet quiet. You would love it here.
(38:01):
Here's here's here's a question for you because you're.
In Arizona. Where, where?
Where do you live in relation? Yeah, I live in Arizona.
Where do you live in relation towhere all the fires were?
The fires have just went down. Farmer moved.
I'm in Long Beach. So the fires happened.
(38:22):
OK, OK. Palos Verdes.
Yeah, I think it was. Was it Palos Verdes?
Yeah, It's it was far enough. Far enough.
We got the smoke. OK, but we didn't get any.
Yeah, OK, that's good. We've been to Long Beach.
Long Beach is cool. We've been all up and down
those, you know, coastal cities and stuff.
(38:44):
How close are you to the beach? What's been your favorite 5
minutes from the from the beach?Like driving really like we
really want to go to the beach. It's about 5 five to 10 down the
street. Nice.
That's not bad. My wife would probably say La
Jolla is her favorite. We've been Redondo, Long Beach,
(39:07):
Mission Beach. I have.
I have friends that live in Mission Beach that I've, I've
worked with in the valley that they live there, bought
investment properties here. We ran a 5K Redondo Beach during
the 4th of July weekend, which is fun.
And we're runners. I mean, they're kind of all the
same from from my vantage point,you know what I mean?
(39:28):
It's just beachfront property and it's, you know, you know,
it's cool going and hanging out on the beach and just, you know,
my son's in Camp Pendleton. He's a Marine.
So he was in San Diego at MCRD, now he's in Pendleton.
They actually have, we learned this, they actually have their
own beachfront garages that you can rent as military personnel
and family. We were trying to do that, but
(39:49):
they were booked out. We didn't do it soon enough, but
you legit, you're like, it's on the beach in Pendleton.
That's awesome. It's like a little studio
apartment. And you open the door, there's
the. Patio and then there's the
beach, there's the water, yeah, yeah, 'cause Pendleton's huge
man Camp Pendleton, that's Oh yeah, that's that real estate
there, that's. That's the largest gathering of
(40:12):
military presence in the United States, for sure.
It might be in the world. Oh.
Pendleton, OH. Really just that whole area, San
Diego and Pendleton, and I thinkthere's 60,000 of them.
Oh wow. Oh yeah, don't fuck around down
there. Your friends are your friends
are Marine right now. Oh, he was.
(40:34):
No, he's ex Marine. Yeah, he was.
This was what, 2005 through? Yeah, he served.
I think he served 2 terms I believe.
Right on. That's cool.
Right on. All right.
(40:55):
So we got about 15 minutes or soleft.
And this is the Chris and Mike show.
This is Tremont Turner, author, actor, thespian and brand
ambassador and owner of LED Dance Floors.
Very nice. What's what's what's something
else you want to talk about? Where we where we still got some
(41:15):
time here to be my friend. You're welcome.
Yeah. Oh, let's see, let's see, let's
talk about the craziness of AI right now.
I don't know if you guys have seen, I know just kind of like
way off subject but this randomly.
No, it's not on my mind, man. We just.
(41:37):
Talked about the Google fail thing.
Yeah, no, AI is insane. Did you just did you see that?
Did you see that thing somebody made with Diddy and, and what's
the dude Epstein and all those Bill Cosby and stuff?
Dude, it looks legit. They're in prison.
They're they're in prison eatingpizza.
(41:59):
Diddy and and and and Epstein are hugging.
They do some kissing. They they feeding you Bill
Cosby's and they're feeding eachother chocolate pudding because
of his jello commercials and shit.
Dude, it looks so real, Tremont.It's freaking scary, man.
It's like you don't there's, there's no way you can tell like
we're we're actually, I'm actually AI.
(42:19):
I'm not real. I'm actually sleeping in the
other room. This is all coming as a as an
image from my brain. It's a whole new thing that
we're working with with Bill Gates, who's going to take over
the world. We got this down to a science.
It could be. It very well could be.
Honest, but it's insane, right? Nowadays you can make an entire
(42:41):
podcast without you being there for real for real, right?
There's so many different things.
We literally cover 2000 miles ofthe country right now.
No, it's insane dude, it's insane.
I use this app called cap cut for on captions for making
videos and and that platform yes, let you create your own AI
(43:05):
twin, which I was like that's just weird man.
That's just, you know, just it'sfreaky, dude.
It's freaky. We're getting, we're getting
Terminator world. You know, we're getting Matrix
world. It's coming.
If you're not ready, like you probably don't have quick.
Do you have quick, quick trips in California?
(43:25):
QTI don't remember with that convenience store.
Quick trips, yeah. Yeah, they're red.
I don't think so, but I'm guessing like a 711.
So, OK, OK, so yeah, basically we were, my wife and I, We had
to go to Tucson because I have alisting down there, and we went
(43:46):
to the QuikTrip. There was a robot cleaning the
floor, and it was telling you. Thank you for stopping into
QuikTrip. I hope you have a nice day.
Please excuse me when I cleaned the floor.
Oh, hello. I'm cleaning the floor right
now. Would you please excuse me?
Oh, thank you for shopping QuikTrip.
Have a nice day. I had blinking eyes.
The eyes would blink. It's about 3 feet tall, just
(44:08):
kind of moving, maneuvering around the floor.
Shit's real, man. It's yeah, it's.
Crazy. Yeah, we have those automated 4
cleaners at work. I'm convinced that it all
started with the Roomba. That was the whole.
That's how Skynet essentially started is with the Roomba.
(44:29):
There you go, Skynet. He knows.
He knows. Yes, Roomba.
And then you have like the automated doors, chemtrails.
Yeah. Yes, guy.
Straight up man, I agree with that.
I we have we have a little conspiracy theory.
It's not like insane, but you know, there's moments like, you
know it's like yeah I didn't think about that though.
(44:51):
Roomba. Roomba started it all man.
Roomba manufactured you might beright.
Uh huh. Cause.
Yeah, I mean, think about it, OK?
It started as Roomba. Nothing.
The job was to get better at cleaning, sucking up the floor.
That's literally where it started.
(45:13):
And its job is just to get better and better and better
when it eventually cleans humansoff the face of the Earth.
Someday it will have its own museum, and the Roomba will be
the Grand Poobah of them all. Yeah.
(45:35):
Have you, have you seen that? Movie It all started with a
lowly floor cleaner. Yeah, have you seen the movie
Wally? Yeah, Wally.
Yeah, that's where we're headed.That's where we're headed.
Absolutely. Yeah, 'cause you got Grubhub.
Like I forget if it was you and I talking about this mic or
somebody else, but you literallyright now, oh, I think it was
Nate when we were on the last show you, you literally were
(45:56):
conditioned as humans now just to sit in her ass and do nothing
because your food can be delivered, your house can be
cleaned, you can work remotely now you can sit of a in front of
a computer 8 hours a day and just do whatever job you do.
And then your food comes to the door.
So all you got to do really is get up and walk to the door to
get your food right? And you go sit down and eat your
food and you get up and throw itaway and you go back and I sit
(46:17):
down like it's big. We're creating a sedentary
lifestyle for people. And that's why it's just going
to. It's going to.
Yeah. It's just, you know, it's bad.
It's bad. We don't have to hunt and gather
anymore, it can all be delivered.
No, right? That's it right there.
See, here's a man who's done some further education into the
(46:41):
reality of life, for sure. I can tell, yes.
You don't get that. Educated matrix.
School or college, you get that education from looking for
yourself for sure. Well, he is Tremont Turner, you
know, actor, thespian, writer and entrepreneur.
So you. Have No, I just appreciate that
because I hear that that's a different language that you
don't hear from people when theysay no longer hunters and
(47:03):
gatherers. That's so true.
People don't realize that the way we act is because of our
DNA. Yeah, yeah, they're hunting on
their Amazon. Oh, what can I find today?
Yes, that's hunting. Hunting for gathering is gather
the package, Gather the package.I mean my packages.
On top of it you could also think about it like we don't
(47:25):
even, we eat whatever just 'cause we're bored now.
Like before we used to yes, haveto starve for X amount.
Of we'd go days or always fasting, yes, uh huh.
Yep. Yeah, and that was normal.
And like when you were a kid, like probably the same, right?
And when you were a kid, you getkicked out of the house when it
(47:47):
was summer break, go play, like get out of the house, go figure
out something to do, go fend foryourself.
And you come back home when you're hungry, have lunch and
then go back out and play. You know, St. lights start come
down, you come back home, especially being in in Gary, IN,
because Gary, IN is small, right?
There's a population. Well, it's surrounded by
Chicago. Oh, is it?
(48:08):
Yeah, yeah, Chicago was the nearest, like big, big city kind
of thing. OK.
If you wanted a really good time, a bunch of different
things, Chicago is where you go.It's big enough.
It's it's not like where I live.OK.
Oh, you just 60 it's. A It's a It's big as far as
geographically, just not. OK.
(48:32):
People aren't moving thicker like that.
OK. Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
Not a sought after destination. Gotcha.
So, so let's go back to your, your acting.
Have you have you gotten any roles since you've been in
California? I've done a couple of smaller
(48:53):
like commercials. I did this one for Yammy by it
was kind of a it was for a Japanese or Chinese E E shopping
website. I did a insurance commercial
(49:18):
trying to think few stuff here and there and I've done
background work a lot. That's that's definitely
plentiful out here. Background work.
You can get that very easy. Yeah, like being an SO being an
extra for those that are so those don't understand that's
being an extra. Like you're behind the scenes of
the scene that's being shot. Cool.
(49:39):
Right on. Have you?

There you go. Thank you.
All right. Cool.
Appreciate it. So Tremont Turner, the legend,
I, I found you on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, I got all
those things dialed in for you. So give us a little bit.
Give us your elevator speech about who you are, what you do,
and and what you want to get across on The Chris and Mike
Show. Bad elevator pitch.
(01:52):
OK, First off, my name is ShamonTurner.
I come from Gary, IN. Gary, IN.
I now live in California. I've been out here since 2014 or
sorry, 2017, pursuing acting, working as a brand ambassador.
(02:17):
I've sitting since written a book on how to get into that
life. Sweet.
And yeah, right now I just recently started a business and
a lot of stuff in between. Cool.
All right, cool. So what's your business?
What's the business you started?So the business is, so it's a
(02:40):
LED digital dance floor we have at the center we rented out for
advanced parties. Yeah, I saw that on your on your
business page. Nice.
We have a little bit of a delay going on.
So you're so the. LED dance.
Floor when you're when? So the whole floor itself is LED
and you can and you can make different lights, different
(03:02):
patterns or what. Correct.
It's a pixel floor. So for every square, which is 2
feet by two feet, there's 64 pixels.
And I can, you know, write on it, type on it live.
I can also upload a actual videoor image as well.
(03:27):
That. That's legit dude.
That'd be awesome for weddings and stuff.
You know you can be dancing on the bride and groom.
Oh yeah, that's yo, that's a plan.
We're we're down to party with you if you let us.
That's awesome, man. What's the name of your company?
(03:49):
It's called Epic experiences. You guys are.
Epic experiences. Are you getting a are you
getting a delay from us? Are we just getting that delay
from you? Just out of curiosity.
I'm getting a delay from you guys as well.
Is it? Is it potentially my?
(04:11):
OK, OK, that's weird. I, I don't know.
We're just, we're not used to having a delay.
So that's why I was just asking to make sure we're not, we're
not, you know, glitching in the matrix.
Somewhere I'm guessing we'll work through it.
Yeah, yeah. Him and I had.
Delays I might. Get two of us for the first 48
episodes. Yeah, you're good.
(04:33):
Oh wow. Are you hearing me in real time,
Chris? I'm hearing you in real time.
Like, yeah, I got a little bit of delay with with Tremont
though. Yeah, I do too.
Like 2 seconds. OK.
Let me. See.
If maybe I. And there's a.
Huge delay and let me I'm going to OK, I'm going to change my
(04:55):
Internet over to something that might go.
OK, give me. One second, all right.
Cool that may that may fix the problem.
Sure absolutely man. We're just going to make sure
you come across as clear as possible.
Let's. See.
Yeah, in the final product he would have seemed together with
us, but it's just kind of weird for you and I right now.
(05:17):
Yeah. OK.
Any change by chance? Yeah, I'm thinking so.
Say something again. Sorry ladies, and.
Gentlemen, OK, here we go. Technical difficulties.
I think we might be back. I think I might have fixed my
(05:38):
issue baby. That's a lot better.
A lot better. It happens every now and then,
'cause I have a couple, yeah. OK.
Yeah, I have a couple Internet too.
So when I when I put on the wrong Internet by accident, it's
like, oh, it just lags, man. It just lags.
And we just want to be able to hear you when we.
Yeah, rookie. So we yeah, yeah, yeah.
(05:59):
It's no. That's all right, man.
That's way better. So that'll that'll help the flow
for sure. It would have been fine in the
end. This program is crazy.
I had like a 10 second delay when I was having Internet
difficulties. And when I've listened back to
the podcast, it was like I was right there with the two of
them, but they couldn't deal with it because it was so long.
(06:21):
You know, 10 seconds is a long time, but it pushed it all back
together seamlessly. It was crazy.
Power of technology, man. The AI world that we're living
in. It's amazing that any of this
works. Chris says it all the time.
You're in Los Angeles, I'm in the middle of a cornfield, and
Chris is in outside Phoenix. Yeah.
(06:46):
All right, so it's called. It's called.
That's what's up. That is how you can make it
work. Yeah, that's that's, that's way.
What's up? So, so we have a Tremont Turner
on. We had a little bit of glitches
going on. So we were going to kind of just
revisit what we talked about. You have an LED dance floor,
right? With, with pixel, the dance
floor pixel and you can put images, words, you can, you can
(07:09):
take wedding, you can take the wedding, the grooms and the
brides and all the pictures and stuff and put it on a dance
floor. So you're, you're like, that's
legit, dude. That would be really, that is so
cool, right? Brilliant idea because we just
had my daughter's wedding and that would have been a cool
thing to have on the on the on the floor while you're dancing.
Absolutely right. Yeah, way to go, Tremont.
Brilliant. Oh yeah, it's if you.
(07:29):
Learn nothing from the show. If you learn nothing from the
show, you just revolutionize dancing.
So what made this idea come about?
I mean, where did you dream thisup and where?
Where did it come? I got to know, man, now.
Now I'm fascinated. Well, honestly, my wife and I
were getting married and we're like, hey, we're wanting to get
(07:53):
out of the rat race, right? And this is only, this is still
as of recent as the end of last year.
And so we decided to look up what kind of cool niche business
that could be out there. I've been working in the event
world for the better part of 10 years, 12 years actually.
(08:17):
And we wanted something unique. We wanted something that not
everybody had. And I'd be able to kind of
network and be able to get off the ground, you know, with it.
And we were just looking around,looking on Alibaba and trying to
come up with ideas and came across the floor and it's like,
(08:38):
oh, OK, that looks, that looks interesting.
I'm like, OK, there's different kinds of floors because I've,
I've seen LED floors before, like the ones, but I've never
seen ones that you could put video on, you could write on,
you know, things like that, No. That's what.
And I was. Like my attention?
(09:00):
Yeah, that's legit, man. Yeah, because people love
customization, you know, people love to, you know, see their
name or I, I messed around when I was kind of figuring out how
to make it work. And I told my friend Joe I was
like, give me something that I could put on it.
He's like, ooh, how about Thundercats?
(09:21):
And so I put the the intro to Thundercats on.
Yeah, right on. That's awesome.
That's crazy. So you can put so this shit can
be completely customized. You could like.
You could like. Yeah, that's what caught my
attention, man, was you could dovideos, you could do pictures,
like you said, with, you know, your daughter's wedding.
You could have had either a video of all the pictures.
(09:44):
Yeah, put the pictures in the floor, right.
You can do all customize it up to that level, right?
Yeah. Oh yeah, and if you have a
drone, especially the the footage from it looks killer.
I can't. Yeah, exactly.
That's that's so cool, man. I love it.
(10:06):
So you can play the entire episode of The Office on the on
the dance floor while you're dancing?
That would be awesome. Play Play the episode of them
having a dance party. Yeah, yeah.
It could I Unfortunately The Office is one of those shows I
still have yet to actually watchthe whole thing.
(10:28):
Oh. Do yourself a favor.
Yeah, that's OK. It's hilarious.
Yeah, I just, you know, it was just, it's one of those shows
that that he, if you want to just tune out the world for 1/2
an hour, there you go. It's just that.
That's what I use it for too, yeah.
Stupid. Yeah.
Kind of like Seinfeld. You just you don't have to.
Yeah, it's what you absolutely go to sleep, laugh.
(10:48):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. You know, Oh.
Yeah, that's like me with FamilyGuy.
Put that time before before bed.Yeah, see, there you go.
Yeah, Yeah, right. Exactly.
Family Guy seems all the same. So you mentioned earlier when we
first got you on here, you had you wrote a book and the and the
book kind of I like the sound ofthe book.
So I want you to talk about the book again because I, you know,
because of our little glitches in the beginning here.
(11:09):
So you're in, you're in. Oh, look at that.
You're in California. Hold that up closer.
Yeah, hold it up closer. Hold it up closer and then you
can take a picture and stick it on our on our Facebook page.
The bucks behind the brand. That's cool.
Yeah, I like. It the bucks behind the brand
right on. So so give us give us a little
Yeah, yeah, it's not anything writing a book.
(11:32):
OK, So what's, what's the, what's the, what's the premise
of that? So the premise of it, there's
this whole world of experientialmarketing that not too many
people know about, right? Like you go to events, you go to
conventions and you never reallythink about the workers that are
(11:56):
there. Or, you know, you see these
other activations that are live or someone's putting on a
demonstration or they're giving out free stuff and you don't
think anything of the person that's doing the work, right.
So there is a whole yeah work get in the gig life or gig
(12:20):
economy called brand ambassador work in experiential marketing
and I've. Heard I've heard of I started
this. I've I've heard about it.
It's it's OK. Oh, I'm getting a very crazy
delay now. Yeah, we're delaying again.
(12:47):
Let me see, is there anything I can do real quick?
Like let me see. What kind of connection are you
on, just out of curiosity? I believe it was a We're on A5.
What is it five GI think as far as I understand it.
(13:16):
Yeah, that should be really. Fast.
Yeah, you would think so. Mine's 1 gig down, 1 gig out
let. Me see if I do OK are we any
fast are you? On cable again, Chris.
(13:41):
Hello. Hello.
Are you back with Cox? OK, who?
Me. OK.
Is this Yeah. Are you guys hearing me?
Is anything better? Yeah, we've always.
Yeah, we've already heard you. It's just a matter of the delay
or not, that's all. So did you hear me just now?
Oh, got it. OK, well.
Yeah. Yeah, it's just the delay.
(14:09):
It's all good. We just.
OK, should I start again or go again?
Yeah, well, let's talk about thebook a little bit more.
Yeah, 'cause I, I don't want to lose.
I don't, I, you know, we, we have an hour.
So I don't want to lose. I don't want to lose Why we're
why we have you on here. So, yeah, let's talk about the
book again real quick. And if and for those of you if,
if you're hearing this twice, you know, technology, sometimes
(14:30):
it sucks. No, it'll be fine in the end.
OK, cool. OK, OK, so I wrote this book
because I've been doing this forthe last 10 plus years.
I started when I was in college and I was doing some fast food
(14:51):
work. Yeah, I've been doing it for
over 10 years now. When I was probably 22, a friend
of mine told me I should get into it.
I would be really good at it. It's working for different
(15:11):
brands. It's giving out free stuff and
it's it's freelance work. So when you're done with one
job, you can pick up another one.
You know, that's, that's one of the coolest things about it, but
also it's also the hardest thingbecause it's not consistent, but
(15:32):
it's able to put you in some really, really cool and
interesting places from festivals to business
conferences, tech conferences, music conferences.
I know you guys are musicians. I worked for Nam.
I worked at the Nam convention, which is one of the biggest
(15:54):
music conventions in the world. Absolutely.
And that was cool, didn't even know it existed, but I worked it
2 weekends and it was such a cool, cool experience.
You know, I learned a lot about the music industry that I really
didn't know about. So if you even have no idea what
(16:18):
you even want to do with your life kind of thing, and
especially if you're younger, you can pick this up and just
play around with it for a littlewhile.
And it'll help connect you in somany different, so many
different fields with so many different kind of people.
And if you know how to work it, you can utilize it to elevate
(16:38):
you to other things. Cool.
So definitely a networking platform for somebody that wants
to just to network and kind of engage with other people in
different walks of life. That sounds like a really good
thing to do personally, and so your books for sure.
You could even. Travel Take.
(17:00):
Advantage of that, right? On Oh yeah, that's the plan.
Like I honestly, I started this because partially I wanted the
freedom to be able to pursue acting, you know, be with my
friends and all that. And this enables me to do just
(17:20):
that. You know, I am still able to
pursue acting. I'm still able to make money.
And it's even better money than you would with, you know, a fast
food job or, or you know, something where you're doing
like really crazy menial work every single day.
(17:42):
Yeah, yeah. So this is just you're getting
paid to socialize, right? Socialize.
I mean, it can be a grind. It's not the easiest thing in
the world, but if you have a high social battery and you're
able to be on your feet sometimes for hours and hours,
(18:03):
and you could deal with, you know, maybe not necessarily
knowing what your next job is going to be.
Yeah, it's a job for you. Cool, cool.
So let's let's let's talk about your acting career.
What have you done? Anything, anything on a on a
grand scale, it's. Going to be cool.
(18:27):
Nothing on a grand scale. Honestly, I have not.
Nothing. I have, I have my ups and downs
with if I'm like even pursuing it, if you will.
I just got some head shots done recently like yesterday.
So we're jumping back in. I have a new agent that's been
(18:47):
getting a lot of auditions. So thank you.
Thank you. It's only a matter of time.
Right on. So let me ask you about the
agent thing for people that don't understand the whole world
of acting, right. So an agent, you hire an agent,
the agent gets a percentage of anything that you make for
whatever you if when you get hired for a gig, right?
(19:09):
Is that how they get paid? That's how they make their
money. Correct.
OK, so there's nothing up front.You don't got to say here's, you
know, here's you got. You don't have to give him a
retainer for anything. You're just, you're just, he set
you up on auditions and they want you to get a job because if
you get that job and they get their RIP.
(19:33):
Exactly. When I got my agent, I think
they found me on casting networks, which is where a lot
of actors find their work. And they wanted to, OK, They
wanted to represent me. And I was like, yeah, I yeah,
for sure. And it's a commercial agency,
(19:55):
and they've been getting me much, many more auditions since
my last agent. I don't have to pay them.
And I just get my headshots, which headshots are the things
that cost a lot and do classes as you know, as I can afford it,
right? OK, gotcha.
(20:16):
So what? So it's called casting networks
or what's it called? Casting networks.
That's where if you're wanting to really take the acting thing
seriously, you're going to set up a profile.
You upload your photos, you upload your resume and videos,
(20:39):
and that's where you search for jobs.
Right now, well, currently Tremont, there's 10,152 rules
waiting for you. Is that?
What it says? Yeah, there's 10,152 rules
waiting for you and. It's going to be a busy dude.
10,000 plus high quality rules published monthly on Casting
(21:02):
Billboard 60 plus project types including TV, film, Voice Over,
Commercial and more. And they don't tell you that
10,400 of those are in porn. Right.
Right. I mean, maybe Scientology is on
there, or you can make films. This guy's got to make a living.
(21:25):
Is it seriously Scientology? That's crazy, dude.
Scientology. That's insane man.
Scientology if you see gold golden productions.
OK, no, this is this is pretty legit, man.
Like it drops it, it drops like like here's one.
It's called Paper Tiger. I've done my research on them
(21:46):
crazy fuckers Tremont. Right, so here's here's a here's
a here's a post for for for a job, right?
It's called Paper Tiger. It's a Russian organized crime.
It's SAG AFTRA covered which SAGof Screen Actors Guild.
I don't know what AFTRA is. What's AFTRA?
Tremont AFTRA, What's that? The other.
(22:07):
Union. It's a part of the.
Union. I yeah, I don't belong to the
union. I'm not with the union.
I'm not in union. Right now, shooting in New York.
OK, OK. I belong to the Songwriters
Union. Right on.
I'm in. I have.
BM not it's OK, yeah. BMG, you're in the other one.
(22:28):
Yeah, Yeah. I'm a published ASCAP YEAH
composer, and he's a published BMG composer.
This is crazy. All the stuff that you have on
here, man. You could.
You could. It's the other one.
Yeah, the music group, I forget what the B stands for, but it's
it's just when, when my when my last band I was in, we we were
(22:49):
signed under an umbrella of Universal Records is called
Platinum Plus Records. So when we released our CD back
in that day, they BMG was the one that we registered the label
registered group with for whatever, I don't know.
It's just whoever you go to, they're both, they both equally
serve the same purpose. They collect royalties for any
(23:10):
time your music's played right on your behalf is basically you
know. So, so it's like if we if we had
a billion. Dollars get. $12.00 yeah, yeah,
you know, you know, that's about.
Capitalist. OK, so actually he'd probably
get about 34,000, right? Right.
(23:31):
And that's accurate. So how big, how big was Gary IN
when you left it population wise?
Because I like the human interest side of things.
So I want to you're coming from Gary, IN, which is the Midwest
Podunk, right? I'm going there a week from
Saturday by the. Way right on.
Make sure you stop by to. Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, OH.
There you go, you still got family.
You still got family in Gary, IN.
(23:53):
Mike can swing by and say hi. Yeah, I do.
I do. Buy your drink.
All right. Both my mom and dad are are
still there. I haven't been there in a in a
little while, but yeah, when I left it was it's it's it's not
got it doesn't have a lot of people straight up, but it's
(24:16):
been working to to, you know, bring in more business.
Like the Hard Rock is fairly new, so make sure you check that
out. They have Michael Jackson stuff
there. I went there once, this will be
my second visit. I really enjoyed it man.
The place is really, really nice.
(24:40):
Yeah, I've been there once myself.
There's definitely a share of casinos out there.
I used to work at the Horseshoe Casino.
There's not a lot to do when it's winter time, you know that.
Yeah, pretty much. You sit, you chill and you maybe
(25:03):
go to your local spot. That's about it.
Where could the snows? It's snowing in the winter.
Yeah, you got to have something to do.
So people gamble. I get it.
Oh, is that it? Oh yeah, OK, we would have.
Breakfast. Sit in the house the entire
winter. Yeah, so, so I was showing
(25:25):
houses yesterday because my, my gig is real estate guy there,
Tremont. I was showing houses then in
their, in their dining room. They had two Vegas slot machines
and the kid, the 15 year old kidwas like, well, I guess if
you're going to have a gambling problem, you might as well
gamble your own money, your own machine.
So you're not really losing anything.
That's a brilliant kid. Right.
(25:45):
I was like, dude, this is, you know, you can't argue with that
logic. You got to feed that addiction.
It's your own machine. So it's your own money you're
putting in, but it's your own money you're getting out.
So it's it's a win, win. Right, I like it.
Yeah, so we got the LED dance floor.
We got Tremont Turner, the actorand the author.
(26:08):
What else? What else?
What else do we know about you and your life, man?
You're married. You said you're married.
How many kids? Any kids?
No kids, no kids yet, but my wife and I have a very
interesting story. OK, cool, let's see.
(26:31):
To start off, let's see we met in Vegas on Tinder.
Didn't actually meet in person at all, but we matched, matched
on Tinder. Then we kept talking for about
two months. Then we met in person in Vegas
and we did long distance for about a year.
(26:55):
She lived in Oregon, I was in Indiana and two years later we
ended up moving out to California and we had roommates
and five years into us living out here in California, I ended
up getting to propose at John Legend concert.
(27:16):
So that was that was fine. Right on.
That's all, man. So how long you guys married
now? Yeah.
How long? Have you been married?
We just hit a year in. May OK cool.
Just hit a year. Congratulations.
Right on. So Mike's not married.
(27:37):
I Mike's not married. And I've, I've been married
going on 30 years. Yeah.
We about run the gamut. Wow.
Newly married, not married and 30 years.
Yeah, 30 years. Yeah, 30 years.
Congrats on her birthday, Mike. Congratulations on single Life.
Thank you. Thank you.
(28:00):
Thank you. Here there's some fireworks for
you for that. Hey, it's all good.
It's all good. I'm the ugliest guy ever.
You just haven't found the right1 yet.
(28:22):
That's true. Good things take time.
That's true, Yeah. Who better hurry up?
Yeah. Yeah, see, I was, I was lucky
because I. Just 30 years.
So and then Nikki just that's mywife.
She just, she just fell on my lap.
So it's kind of like, you know, yeah, we got.
How long hate? Go ahead.
How long had you known her when we started the band?
(28:45):
I don't remember. I don't, I don't remember.
Not very long. Yeah, I don't remember.
We were I. I met her on I.
Was going to say, what's the story?
And then she blew me off till, yeah, I met her on her birthday.
I, I worked at a place in, in the East Valley, which we took
care of mentally handicapped is,I mean, it's not fully correct,
(29:06):
but that's what I'm going to call it.
So I ran group homes. So they were like people like
our age, but mentally they were seven years old.
So I was on the social committee, Shocking.
And I was going around the houses during before Christmas
to film all the staff with the clients.
We call them clients. So when we had Santa, which I
played Santa, my buddy at the time played elf, he was Elvis.
(29:26):
So he was had long sideburns like Elvis and was on his knees.
So you know, he looked like Elvis and I was dressed up as
Santa. Well, behind us we had this big
screen that we would play all the interaction of all the staff
in all 32 group homes. So I would, I was driving around
the, the valley in the East Valley, you know, stopping at
the group homes, going in video recording the staff with the
clients and things like that, having fun.
(29:48):
Well, where she worked was an all female house.
So that means all the clients were, were, were women and all
the staff were women. And my luck as I showed up
during shower time. So they open the door like,
yeah, you're not coming in here.I'm like, well, shit, I don't
want to come back because it's, it's a further out, you know,
house and like why you're comingback because we can't let you
in. I'm like, well, shit, So I ended
(30:08):
up coming back some other day, but she had when they open the
door, she was I could see her sitting on this chair.
She's wearing these red Rockies and her leg was propped up over
the side of the thing. I'm I was like, damn.
And just a little back story, Tremont.
I had just shaved my head, so about a month or so before that.
So and I did it in a time that II had a roommate that was like
(30:29):
super in the Louis Farrakhan of stuff.
So he'd wear all that Muslim stuff.
I'm walking around in a red and black flannel, not understanding
that the dark side of the shavedhead people or skinheads with
red and black and Doc Martin. So it's completely ignorant
because I don't have that. That's not who I am, right.
So we're walking around togetherin malls and shit and people are
walking away from us. Like that's really weird, man.
(30:51):
So, but as I was trying to, you know, go out on dates and shit,
girls are just looking like shit.
Fuck off. Because I look when I my head's
like I had that look. He did this in like 19, he did
this in like 1993, four, whatever.
Yeah, right when it wasn't done,man, unless you were a Skinhead.
(31:12):
Dude, we got booked with a bunchof Skinhead bands.
We did. And that was the first time I I
came from a small town, right? So I lived in Chicago for two
years going to college before that.
So I had a little bit of, you know, acclamation to the city,
but I hadn't experienced a lot of things.
And we got booked with all thesebands and I learned they hate
(31:33):
everybody. That's not them, right?
They thought he was like one of their brothers.
And the rest of us, they wanted to fucking kill like long hairs.
We hate you. I was.
Like Jesus, man, it was interesting, man.
So when I opened the door, rightand she was there and, and, and
we engaged a little bit in conversation and then I kind of
I got her number and I was kind of poking her to go out.
(31:53):
She blew me off, blew me off because I didn't know at the
time, but her dad was in town. So then we ended up going out on
our first date, February 19th. And then we ended up getting
married a year of the day. So I met her in December.
She blew me off. I thought she we our first date,
we talked marriage and shit because it was just, we just
knew, right. And, you know, 30 years later,
(32:16):
you know, where we get along really well, We don't, we don't
argue. People don't, don't really grasp
that concept. We don't, we were just opposite
enough to work, you know, And it's just like, you know, we've
been together that long. I'm 55, she's 50.
So we've pretty much been with each other more, more than half
our lives. And it's just, I mean, it's we
still, it's still like a honeymoon, man.
We still love each other. We're still in love with each
(32:37):
other. It's not.
And I think due to me, that's the part that is the most
appealing to like your situationbecause so many people just play
fucking games. And that's something that I was
never willing to do, right? I only had that one time in my
life and I fucked that up. So I have myself to blame for
that. But that part is I admire you
(32:59):
guys for that. The fact that you don't argue,
that you work things out, that it's just that's so appealing.
That doesn't happen a lot. Yeah, we have.
We don't. We don't 100% agree on
everything but but we don't the only time.
That's a different story than having like not not.
We were screaming at each other.You.
Know yeah, we only really had one of those and that was the
(33:21):
the day before I stopped drinking because I'm 20 years
sober too Tremont. So the day before we stopped
drinking, we had that that just major blow up and I woke up and
like something's got to change and thank you.
So I you know, I changed and we're still together to this day
because of that. So I don't think we would have
been had I not changed had I notwoken up.
(33:42):
There's no way because she was already after sober Chris came
to light and I could be talked to and reason with and I wasn't
I wasn't an asshole drunk, meaning I wasn't, you know,
violent or I just wasn't there emotionally.
You know, I I remember one one of the stories I tell so people
can grasp that when Christmas I I got her diamond earrings.
I'm just I tossed the matter in the living room.
(34:02):
I was like Merry Christmas and walked out of the room, you
know, kind of like just a total Dick move, you know, but, but
that's how I, that's what the alcohol did to me.
It just made me not be there emotionally.
I was there as a vessel. And you know, I mean, I was a
deck, but I wasn't, I wasn't verbally abusive, wasn't
physically abusive. I still paid the bills.
I still did my job. I you know.
You were like zombie Chris. Yeah, it just, it wasn't.
(34:26):
It wasn't something Chris. It wasn't the best.
Yeah, that's a good way to explain it, though.
It wasn't. It wasn't well.
That's how I described myself when I went through my addiction
was, you know, there's bits and pieces of it I remember
wholeheartedly, but there's things people tell me that I'm
like, really? I I did that, you know.
Yeah, yeah. And again, I mean, I, you know,
(34:48):
I can't imagine my life without her.
So it's that's, that's the grateful of the one of the great
most grateful moments of my lifeis waking up that next day and
realizing, oh shit, something's got to change, you know, and it
did. So I'm still here and we're
still together and we have two adult grown kids that, you know,
are very well adjusted. And, you know, there's our our
son struggles a little bit with trying to find what we have
(35:09):
because what we have, my wife and I was, I think is so rare
because we are so opposite, right?
And, and because we are so opposite, it works.
And the yin Yang that we have and we bring the table.
It's just, you know, it's, it's just a cool thing, man.
There's nothing like it. So you got 29 years to catch up
there, Dramont? Here's a secret.
(35:30):
Here's a secret for you. Get your own comforters.
Have. Separate comforters, what's up?
Yeah, yeah, get get your own comforters.
If you have your own comforter, you have a happier life.
You get a comforter. She gets a comforter because I
sleep hot, she sleeps cold. So therefore I'm not pulling at
her blanket and comforter. She's not pulling at mine.
(35:53):
That is genius. You're still in the same bed,
mind. You never heard, you just.
Have your own sheet and comforter.
They're genius, dude. It really.
Is that's money right there? Because you can cuddle before,
right? You go to bed, you wake up, she
can just come over and cuddle you in the morning.
But you still have your own environment of comfort, see?
(36:13):
I love it, I really do. That's genius.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of people don't realize
that when anybody asks for marriage, you buy something like
#1 separate comforters. It works straight up.
OK, I'll keep that in mind. Yeah, I'll keep.
That in mind, 'cause no, we definitely have hard.
Times it's more so my snoring, but.
(36:34):
Yeah, well, that's that's that'swhat I'm saying.
So, but but talk to your wife first.
Don't just show up with a new comforter.
Honey, this is yours. Because to be like what?
This is how things are going to be now.
No, no, no. That's true, yeah.
You know, because you, I mean you because when you're sleeping
(36:55):
right, you sleep your body temperature different than your
wife when you sleep right. That's why I say it's genius.
Yeah, because, because if your wife's like my wife, man, she's
always cold. It could be, it could be ninety
120° outside. I got thermostat set 78 inside
and she's going and she's going to blanket.
Like really? She's always cold.
Oh, yeah, See, she's the one that's always hot.
(37:15):
Has to make sure we turn there. Turn there.
So there you go. No, we're good.
See, but there you go then. So she, she gets your own
comfort, gets your own comfort. So that way you can.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We got a fan.
We got a fan and we got a fan. We got a fan up top and a fan.
But the fan's more for white noise, right?
You got to have that white noisewhen you're sleeping, you know,
you got to have something going on.
Of course, you live in California, so you just open
(37:37):
your window. You got white noise, I'm sure.
Oh yeah, no, we had. Yeah, we have to keep our
windows shut because we hear allthe ambient noise of everywhere
around us. I honestly I've become a fan of
like quiet quiet. You would love it here.
(38:01):
Here's here's here's a question for you because you're.
In Arizona. Where, where?
Where do you live in relation? Yeah, I live in Arizona.
Where do you live in relation towhere all the fires were?
The fires have just went down. Farmer moved.
I'm in Long Beach. So the fires happened.
(38:22):
OK, OK. Palos Verdes.
Yeah, I think it was. Was it Palos Verdes?
Yeah, It's it was far enough. Far enough.
We got the smoke. OK, but we didn't get any.
Yeah, OK, that's good. We've been to Long Beach.
Long Beach is cool. We've been all up and down
those, you know, coastal cities and stuff.
(38:44):
How close are you to the beach? What's been your favorite 5
minutes from the from the beach?Like driving really like we
really want to go to the beach. It's about 5 five to 10 down the
street. Nice.
That's not bad. My wife would probably say La
Jolla is her favorite. We've been Redondo, Long Beach,
(39:07):
Mission Beach. I have.
I have friends that live in Mission Beach that I've, I've
worked with in the valley that they live there, bought
investment properties here. We ran a 5K Redondo Beach during
the 4th of July weekend, which is fun.
And we're runners. I mean, they're kind of all the
same from from my vantage point,you know what I mean?
(39:28):
It's just beachfront property and it's, you know, you know,
it's cool going and hanging out on the beach and just, you know,
my son's in Camp Pendleton. He's a Marine.
So he was in San Diego at MCRD, now he's in Pendleton.
They actually have, we learned this, they actually have their
own beachfront garages that you can rent as military personnel
and family. We were trying to do that, but
(39:49):
they were booked out. We didn't do it soon enough, but
you legit, you're like, it's on the beach in Pendleton.
That's awesome. It's like a little studio
apartment. And you open the door, there's
the. Patio and then there's the
beach, there's the water, yeah, yeah, 'cause Pendleton's huge
man Camp Pendleton, that's Oh yeah, that's that real estate
there, that's. That's the largest gathering of
(40:12):
military presence in the United States, for sure.
It might be in the world. Oh.
Pendleton, OH. Really just that whole area, San
Diego and Pendleton, and I thinkthere's 60,000 of them.
Oh wow. Oh yeah, don't fuck around down
there. Your friends are your friends
are Marine right now. Oh, he was.
(40:34):
No, he's ex Marine. Yeah, he was.
This was what, 2005 through? Yeah, he served.
I think he served 2 terms I believe.
Right on. That's cool.
Right on. All right.
(40:55):
So we got about 15 minutes or soleft.
And this is the Chris and Mike show.
This is Tremont Turner, author, actor, thespian and brand
ambassador and owner of LED Dance Floors.
Very nice. What's what's what's something
else you want to talk about? Where we where we still got some
(41:15):
time here to be my friend. You're welcome.
Yeah. Oh, let's see, let's see, let's
talk about the craziness of AI right now.
I don't know if you guys have seen, I know just kind of like
way off subject but this randomly.
No, it's not on my mind, man. We just.
(41:37):
Talked about the Google fail thing.
Yeah, no, AI is insane. Did you just did you see that?
Did you see that thing somebody made with Diddy and, and what's
the dude Epstein and all those Bill Cosby and stuff?
Dude, it looks legit. They're in prison.
They're they're in prison eatingpizza.
(41:59):
Diddy and and and and Epstein are hugging.
They do some kissing. They they feeding you Bill
Cosby's and they're feeding eachother chocolate pudding because
of his jello commercials and shit.
Dude, it looks so real, Tremont.It's freaking scary, man.
It's like you don't there's, there's no way you can tell like
we're we're actually, I'm actually AI.
(42:19):
I'm not real. I'm actually sleeping in the
other room. This is all coming as a as an
image from my brain. It's a whole new thing that
we're working with with Bill Gates, who's going to take over
the world. We got this down to a science.
It could be. It very well could be.
Honest, but it's insane, right? Nowadays you can make an entire
(42:41):
podcast without you being there for real for real, right?
There's so many different things.
We literally cover 2000 miles ofthe country right now.
No, it's insane dude, it's insane.
I use this app called cap cut for on captions for making
videos and and that platform yes, let you create your own AI
(43:05):
twin, which I was like that's just weird man.
That's just, you know, just it'sfreaky, dude.
It's freaky. We're getting, we're getting
Terminator world. You know, we're getting Matrix
world. It's coming.
If you're not ready, like you probably don't have quick.
Do you have quick, quick trips in California?
(43:25):
QTI don't remember with that convenience store.
Quick trips, yeah. Yeah, they're red.
I don't think so, but I'm guessing like a 711.
So, OK, OK, so yeah, basically we were, my wife and I, We had
to go to Tucson because I have alisting down there, and we went
(43:46):
to the QuikTrip. There was a robot cleaning the
floor, and it was telling you. Thank you for stopping into
QuikTrip. I hope you have a nice day.
Please excuse me when I cleaned the floor.
Oh, hello. I'm cleaning the floor right
now. Would you please excuse me?
Oh, thank you for shopping QuikTrip.
Have a nice day. I had blinking eyes.
The eyes would blink. It's about 3 feet tall, just
(44:08):
kind of moving, maneuvering around the floor.
Shit's real, man. It's yeah, it's.
Crazy. Yeah, we have those automated 4
cleaners at work. I'm convinced that it all
started with the Roomba. That was the whole.
That's how Skynet essentially started is with the Roomba.
(44:29):
There you go, Skynet. He knows.
He knows. Yes, Roomba.
And then you have like the automated doors, chemtrails.
Yeah. Yes, guy.
Straight up man, I agree with that.
I we have we have a little conspiracy theory.
It's not like insane, but you know, there's moments like, you
know it's like yeah I didn't think about that though.
(44:51):
Roomba. Roomba started it all man.
Roomba manufactured you might beright.
Uh huh. Cause.
Yeah, I mean, think about it, OK?
It started as Roomba. Nothing.
The job was to get better at cleaning, sucking up the floor.
That's literally where it started.
(45:13):
And its job is just to get better and better and better
when it eventually cleans humansoff the face of the Earth.
Someday it will have its own museum, and the Roomba will be
the Grand Poobah of them all. Yeah.
(45:35):
Have you, have you seen that? Movie It all started with a
lowly floor cleaner. Yeah, have you seen the movie
Wally? Yeah, Wally.
Yeah, that's where we're headed.That's where we're headed.
Absolutely. Yeah, 'cause you got Grubhub.
Like I forget if it was you and I talking about this mic or
somebody else, but you literallyright now, oh, I think it was
Nate when we were on the last show you, you literally were
(45:56):
conditioned as humans now just to sit in her ass and do nothing
because your food can be delivered, your house can be
cleaned, you can work remotely now you can sit of a in front of
a computer 8 hours a day and just do whatever job you do.
And then your food comes to the door.
So all you got to do really is get up and walk to the door to
get your food right? And you go sit down and eat your
food and you get up and throw itaway and you go back and I sit
(46:17):
down like it's big. We're creating a sedentary
lifestyle for people. And that's why it's just going
to. It's going to.
Yeah. It's just, you know, it's bad.
It's bad. We don't have to hunt and gather
anymore, it can all be delivered.
No, right? That's it right there.
See, here's a man who's done some further education into the
(46:41):
reality of life, for sure. I can tell, yes.
You don't get that. Educated matrix.
School or college, you get that education from looking for
yourself for sure. Well, he is Tremont Turner, you
know, actor, thespian, writer and entrepreneur.
So you. Have No, I just appreciate that
because I hear that that's a different language that you
don't hear from people when theysay no longer hunters and
(47:03):
gatherers. That's so true.
People don't realize that the way we act is because of our
DNA. Yeah, yeah, they're hunting on
their Amazon. Oh, what can I find today?
Yes, that's hunting. Hunting for gathering is gather
the package, Gather the package.I mean my packages.
On top of it you could also think about it like we don't
(47:25):
even, we eat whatever just 'cause we're bored now.
Like before we used to yes, haveto starve for X amount.
Of we'd go days or always fasting, yes, uh huh.
Yep. Yeah, and that was normal.
And like when you were a kid, like probably the same, right?
And when you were a kid, you getkicked out of the house when it
(47:47):
was summer break, go play, like get out of the house, go figure
out something to do, go fend foryourself.
And you come back home when you're hungry, have lunch and
then go back out and play. You know, St. lights start come
down, you come back home, especially being in in Gary, IN,
because Gary, IN is small, right?
There's a population. Well, it's surrounded by
Chicago. Oh, is it?
(48:08):
Yeah, yeah, Chicago was the nearest, like big, big city kind
of thing. OK.
If you wanted a really good time, a bunch of different
things, Chicago is where you go.It's big enough.
It's it's not like where I live.OK.
Oh, you just 60 it's. A It's a It's big as far as
geographically, just not. OK.
(48:32):
People aren't moving thicker like that.
OK. Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
Not a sought after destination. Gotcha.
So, so let's go back to your, your acting.
Have you have you gotten any roles since you've been in
California? I've done a couple of smaller
(48:53):
like commercials. I did this one for Yammy by it
was kind of a it was for a Japanese or Chinese E E shopping
website. I did a insurance commercial
(49:18):
trying to think few stuff here and there and I've done
background work a lot. That's that's definitely
plentiful out here. Background work.
You can get that very easy. Yeah, like being an SO being an
extra for those that are so those don't understand that's
being an extra. Like you're behind the scenes of
the scene that's being shot. Cool.
(49:39):
Right on. Have you?
Have you been? There you've been like, Oh my
God. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
