Speaker 1 (00:02):
What would you talk about on your on your podcast
phone represents show. This is gonna be a lot of fun.
You guys have no idea what we're about to do.
So around the room we have Gandhi, we have Scary,
we have Dave Brody with great team. Pay attention to Tea.

(00:25):
There's Danielle. All right. So so Garrett has a friend
he's going to bring in and he's gonna sit right here.
You've never met him. You saw him out in the
We've never met him before. So now we're going to
try to guess what he does. That now, just what
he does. So ready, Garrett, bring in your friend. Good morning,

(00:47):
mystery friend, come on in. Thank you for coming into that.
We appreciate it. Pleasure being here. Well, it's it's as
my dad used to say, it's good to be anywhere.
You know what I'm saying. Anyway, So you know, you know,
no one here has ever met you, right right, and oh,
Garrett knows who you are. So this is Garrett's idea.
So all right, so I want you to meet clay

(01:08):
En knows. That's all I'm gonna tell you. Okay, hold on,
put your phones down, no googling, and and if you're
listening right now, don't google, because I think you can
play along as well. So I think it would be
fun if you figure out what Clay does for a living,
and you can ask one or two questions. You can
ask her answer yes or no, and then after that
we could talk about what Clay does for a list.

(01:29):
So this is just a yes or no. You can
only answer ask yes or no questions if you feel
that the question is important enough where he could give
a little bit more. I believe he could if he feels.
Now if you if you feel that someone in the
room has asked a question of Clay that would force
him to give too much information to end the game early,
then we can all vote that's too big of a question. Okay,
all right, I'm game. Who wants to start first? Alright,

(01:51):
we'll start with it. We're going on the room, Gandhi.
Al Right, I see you've brought an apparatus of some
sort with you. Is that a harness? It is a
form of harness. Yeah. They They're a critical part of
how I do my job. Okay, a form of harness?
Um does your job take you around the country? The world?

(02:13):
In fact? Is the harness for a human or an animal.
It's for me, so I'm going with both. I don't know.
It could be it's a it's it's my harness straps. Gregory. Um, uh,

(02:35):
can I come? Can you come back to me for
one second? Yea question? You have a red room of pain.
But I knew that it's a bit of a red
herring on that front, isn't it. No? I do not. Okay,
do you have a question? Do you make a living
at you know, using this harness while traveling around the world. Yeah,
this is a part of my gear without being without

(02:58):
being too revealing. Yes, okay, all right, all right, all right?
Is your job in any way responsible for the safety
of others? No? Anybody have any more questions? Should we
go around one more time? Okay? Um? Is your job

(03:23):
something that puts you in a dangerous place when you
do it? No? Okay, that's gary. Family and friends okay,
started start. That was so loud. Alright, go ahead. Why
your family and friends were they skeptical when you first
got this job? What was the reaction? Excitement? Excitement? Okay, alright,

(03:48):
with a certain reluctance for anything. I'm gonna be a
little revealing here. No, don't. Don't, don't be real, not
at all at all? Okay, excitement do you do you're
a man with a harness? How more? Well? Strap? I
refer to them as straps, straps revealing? Can you be yes?
Do you have three questions? Like? All right? Do you

(04:10):
do you? Did you have to train a long time
to be able to do this job? No? Right, I
do have a degree. Okay, can you come back to me?
Because because my question was something, don't don't, don't tell
us anymore? Stop it, Daniel? Do you have any come

(04:30):
back to be a man of less work? All right, Daniel,
I have so many questions. Are there animals involved? Rarely? Rarely?
Rarely do people pay to watch you do this job? Unfortunately? Not?

(04:55):
Back to me here? Okay, um, I noticed that you're tall,
So does your what you do for a living with
this harness? Does it? Can you? Can a person be
a certain height a weight or do you have to
be a certain poor the same body type to do this? No?
My straps help me do my job, but they aren't
all right, gandhi, how did you meet Garrett? Garrett and

(05:19):
I share a mutual friend in the world of media
and publicity, okay, all right. Would your job be considered
a fetish fetish? No, that gives me. That does give
me an idea about how I could Wow. Okay, when
you're playing a game like this, when you answer, when
you ask a question like that and he says no,

(05:41):
it eliminates so many different things we can do. Yeah,
this is a red ring. I say, we eliminate scary
from the game for everyone. Have a question. Uh, No,
it's it's it's brodis time. Okay, you and Garrett have
a mutual friend. What would that? Friends say you do
for a living? No? No, okay, this job that you do,
you say you do it all around the world. Do

(06:02):
you choose to go to those countries or do they
call you to come do it? I'm I'm hired to go.
Why are you mad? Great? Because I always sit behind Prody.
He's asking the questions I wanted. Okay, with another question?
You all right? Yes, Daniel, you're out. Yeah, it's question. Uh,

(06:27):
in the job you do around the world with this harness? Uh?
Does it involve other people connected to the harnesses or
connected to you as well? Or just you? No? No,
just me and what I connect to it? Though it
is a team. I am a team player. I'm not
working alone as a rule. Okay, all right, I'm the
only one wearing them. But and they cause a bit

(06:49):
of They always get people's attention. It's part of why
I brought them, I would think. So, Okay, I got
a question. Is what you do for a living? Would
some would would? Would the masses consider what you do
for a living? Odd? No, they're envious, so jealous? Alright?
Not on the harness? I think it's can I guess? Yeah? Sure?

(07:13):
Do you pull cars? Like? Do you attach to the
harness to you and then attach it to a car?
Attached the harness? He's putting the harness straps and I
attached things to it, So you put the harness on
his back? I got it. Okay, I have a question
for you. I like that harness. There's a hard that's

(07:33):
exactly what a lot of people say. They like that. Okay,
it involves a harness. Does this harness keep you out
of harm's way? Okay? All right, so didn't put you
in harm's way? Just a just a tool? God? Come on? Well,
I was going to guess some type of rock climbing um,
But then the way you put that harness on. It

(07:54):
doesn't look like a rock climbing type of harm. Okay,
so scary? Would your job be considered something awe inspiring
like a stuntman or a daredevil of sort? Not quite
that inspiring, but but you're warm with stunt man. But
I'm in no danger whatsoever? Are you a body double

(08:14):
of some sort for somebody? Wait, that wasn't your turn
to something? Go on, come on, Brodie, come on? Three times?
You did it? Okay? Attaches himself to other things, and
people would be envious some kind of naked girl dog
sled No, no, no, okay, Um, it looks like you

(08:35):
have hooks on your all over your your straps. What
people would have to use those little like that? You
pull the thing back and you hook onto you. So
some things get hooked onto you, and people would be
envious of those things being hooked onto Youka, but it's
not a lifesaving thing. What would be hooked onto okay?
The things that are hooked onto you? Would any of
us ever own those things? You do? I do own them.

(08:57):
He already knows we do, and we do own them.
So and envious of you if you strapped them on you?
Daniel All right, yeah, Gregg. Less question from Greg Tea
because yeah, because I was not gonna ask that. Okay, Um,
I would assume I'm thinking that you're like some some
some sort of a heavy lifting delivery guy of some sort.

(09:20):
I like that that might be how I go, but
I'm absolutely not. Alright, alright, I said I could give
a hint, a photographic hint. The thing is, no one,
no one listening could understand still photographer for movies of Aquaman,
Wonder Woman, Stars Born, Justice League, and Watchman. All the

(09:41):
movie posters you see in the world. Clay has shot those,
and so you have. You have lots of cameras hanging
off your heart my cameras jealous, that's so cool. What
beautiful photography you've done. I bet can we see a
few of those and we can get most of you
to if I didn't do Aquaman, but I did wonder Woman.

(10:02):
We just finished the new Wonder Woman as well, and
he was on set of Stars Born, so we shot
Lady Gaga. Bradley Cooper. Let me ask a question, how
do you get this? Like, how did you become so
famous for this? You're the guy that they call you know,
it's always a little bit of who knows you in
the world. And I went to college with Zack Snyder's wife,

(10:23):
zach Levi Snyder, Zack Snyder the director. So give me
an opportunity a dozen years ago to work on Watchman.
I've been doing it ever since. So they hire you
to work on set, behind the scenes, to take pictures
of them while they're shooting these films. Correct, So they can,
they can have they can they can chronicle what it
was like to shoot the films. Unbelievable. Cool. Yeah, what

(10:47):
a cool job. So you'll do weddings and stuff like
that Anymoreance was who who what photographer has never shot
a wedding? But you don't do it anymore? Look, I'll
do it. I'll do it tomorrow if a friend of
mine is getting married coming up. You know, I always
say that one of the congratulations, thank you with it
one of the one of the treats of being a photographers.

(11:07):
You can gift your service and gift your your talent
to your friends, and shooting a wedding is one of
the most beautiful ways to do such a thing. I
would never thought that would be the you know what,
what a what a beautiful thing to say about what
you do for a living, if anyone could, if you
can gift what you do for a living to anyone, Yeah,
it's all. What I do for a living is what
most people like to do on vacation. Right Clay was

(11:29):
on set where we're all guessing if Lady Gaga and
Bradley Cooper were actually a couple. Like Greg T. Clay
can actually say they were in a couple, they were
just very good actors. Falling in love on screen is
one of the most impressive performers I've ever witnessed. I
as a rule, partly the nature of the films I've shot.
I don't tear up at work. Right Batman, as big

(11:51):
a fan as I may be, isn't isn't tear jerking
Twice on the set of A Star Is Born, I
had to wipe tears from my eyes. That's awesome because
of her. Do you become friends with the people you're shooting?
You know, there are plenty of friendships that emerge you
spend enough time with each other. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
So you see each other on another set, on another
and another. Yeah, it just happened. I ended up at

(12:13):
the premiere of Triple Frontier and saw Oscar Isaac's if
I hadn't seen in ten years, and you know, you
just pick it up quickly and wish him well, and
it's a it's a lovely thing. Not everyone is charming
or has the time for the still photographer. We're not
exactly the critical piece of the puzzle, but I know,
but but a very important part of the history of
the project. Absolutely have you ever been an extra like

(12:35):
if they ever said, when you a guy who looks
like you, go over there, I've I've yes, I've been
given that opportunity, and they appropriately ended up on the
cutting room floor movie, but it was a suicide squad,
so we almost saw he was on the floor to
the cutting room floor most of his parts. And so
before we were before we wrap up in just a
couple of minutes, Clay is actually going to be uh

(12:58):
doing a class kind of down in Nashville next week.
So if you're down in Nashville, in and around the area,
you're a fan of photography and you want to learn
from a man who's been on set down in Nashville
and beautiful work. You know the dates because this is
a podcast and it's going to could be smart sixteenth
and seventeen, and you can you sign up on a
little uh ad free social network called Vero that's sort

(13:19):
of trying to force the big guys away from their
bad practices. Yeah, and uh, come on down because we're
for me he as a photographer. The best way to
teach his just hands on, one on one and absolutely okay,
so we need to have the information right now, so
very v e r O dot com, Vero dot ceo,
Vero dot ceo. And didn't do a search for Clay

(13:40):
you know Clay you know E n O s Yeah,
it correctly. I'm noticing, like how calm Clay is, how
relaxed he is. Yeah, he's unlike you. Yeah, he's in
a polar opposite. Yeah, you're you're in a in a
in a what's to help me out zone, in a
field that doesn't cause a lot of stress. You know

(14:01):
you just take Is that true? I mean it? Are
there stressful moments and what you do? Oh for sure. Look,
as an artist, of course, you're always challenged to make
good art, right, to make a good photograph and is
the set photographer, which I do most of the time,
You're always a little bit the the odd man out.
You're not the one making the movie, so at a
moment's notice, you could be shoot away or in the

(14:21):
dance of staying away from the filming cameras. Is can
be stressful, so great, it's not the stress that you
could have, it's how you handle the things that could
be stressful. It's how you handle it. We used to
play a clip of Christian Bale screaming at a guy
for walking in his light where the light was has
has a celebrity you don't have to mention the you
