(00:00):
All right, I think everything's goodnow. So, ladies and gentlemen,
it's the Game Changer Podcast. It'sback. I am your host, Nathi
Effingreats. After a long absence andafter saying so many times, hey,
it's coming back, it's coming back, finally got the motivation to finally do
(00:20):
this podcast, and I needed alittle help doing that. I couldn't think
of anybody to help me out withthat with the return of the GCP than
the one, the only, thefabulous Victory Bell and you know her best
as Tory Clark. Tori. It'sgreat to have you back. Yeah,
no is this is really exciting.I think it was very Kisnet that this
(00:44):
came together and it happened to bewe both were on the verge of wanting
to talk more about entertainment again exactly. And ladies and gentlemen, we're going
to be talking about a couple ofthings. This is going to be more
of like a pilot test episode inwhich we're going to talk to you guys
about how this came to be atfirst, why we decided to end it
(01:06):
when we did, what we've beendoing since that point, and what really
sparked the return of the game changingduo. I guess you could call us
to make its comeback and to startwith this right now. So let's start
from ground up. How this allcame about. I remember when I was
talking to a lot of random peopleonline and one of them was one of
(01:29):
our good mutual friend god rest hissoul dead girl, and I remember seeing
him and Celeste. They were doingtheir thing, and then for some reason,
there was just this one girl thatpopped up in my head and I'm
just like, who is this girl? Why did she seem kind of interesting?
So I just remember seeing her namebeing tagged, and I remember messaging
(01:53):
her that person being Tori. Soafter a while we started talking and it
came to a point where I saidshe might be a good co host.
So I messaged her and said,would you be interested in co hosting the
show? And I remember, Istill remember to this day that you said,
let's talk on the phone for Ithink it was maybe fifteen thirty minutes
(02:15):
something like that, Let's see howit goes. If it works out,
I feel comfortable with it, we'lldo it. And obviously if it didn't
work out, we would not behere today. Well yeah, I mean
I think I think everybody's been there. In today's age of almost like online
dating type of thing, you knowthat conversation can flow with people, and
(02:37):
conversation can just pit her out anddie. And so like if we were
if it was going to be anawkward like okay, yeah, me too,
and then silence, it would beit would just not be fun for
either of us. So you haveto have some sort of chemistry to have
a conversation with someone regarding anything.People have to have a certain you know,
(03:04):
flow going back and forth. Andthat's kind of where I was doing
a little like temperature check, andI think, yeah, obviously it happened.
So we passed. We both passed. It wasn't just a test for
you as a test that can weboth talk to one another? Yes,
it was, yes, And honestly, you were the one that kind of
(03:25):
pulled the trigger on it because Ithink we were almost maybe like seven minutes
in the conversation and you just said, okay, let's go. I'm like,
wait really, yeah, no,we're totally fine. Yeah. Well
again, like if you can tellwhen you can talk, come on,
Nate, there had to be atime where you were talking to somebody and
(03:45):
like you were just like, ohmy gosh, I feel like I'm pulling
teeth here, Like why am Ieven having this conversation right now? No.
Definitely not as much though, becauseI think I've definitely tried to like
reach a point where it's like,Okay, maybe this person's not really worth
my time and they're just not reallygiving me that much, because you want
(04:06):
to feel like they had, likeit as much interested as you as you
do with them. I think thatwas kind of one of the things that
really set us apart from a lotof other shows is that we definitely do
try to like dissect each other's brainsto be like, hmm, okay,
I understand what you're saying, butwhy that's kind of I think one of
the cool things that really made theshow work was because we definitely had two
(04:29):
sides of the same cloth, andit was always a fun time no matter
what we were doing. Really ohyeah, oh yeah, Well, I'm
glad that you've never had to experiencetoo bad of like somebody not not like
vibing with you. But I alsoI liked what you said about the having
common interest within the person you're talkingto. I think that's a huge thing
(04:55):
that you bring to the table isthat you're very interested in that person,
and you bring your interest to thatperson. I think that's one of the
things that made me just like rightaway be like, all right, we
can do this, Like you're givingme as much as you're hoping to receive,
and that's huge, where a lotof people don't. I don't think
that's a common thing. Maybe podcastinginterviewing wise, it feels that way,
(05:20):
but I don't think in general it'sa common thing. And I think having
the idea that someone can be interestingno matter what they're talking about or why
they're talking to you or what's goingon, is a huge attribute to have,
Like make that person interesting, beinterested in them, and then all
of a sudden, you're right,there is no boring conversations that are just
(05:42):
like so it's cold out, Ithink right, not by me, but
I think if one of us wereto do that line, we would just
be doing that just either break thetension or just to be goofy, because
I think were to that point wherewe're just so comfortable with each other with
that. I mean, for goodnesssakes, we did at least three years
(06:05):
worth of like Oscar Live shows,which I feel like every single one of
them had their own quirks, withthe last one being probably the biggest bomb
that we had because we tried puttingit on Facebook and they're just like no,
no, no, Facebook said notto me so many times in my
(06:25):
life, and now I just giveit up. I've gotten the message.
Thank you, I'm done. Youhear that, Mark Zuckerberg, She's done
with you. That relationship's over.Meta not done. But Facebook, Facebook,
it wasn't. It wasn't. Thenit was me. Apparently I was
(06:45):
the problem, so they took meoff of it. So obviously, like
I said, we did so muchand we talked about so much when it
came to the podcast, and obviouslythere came a point where if it felt
like we were on a good role. But life does change, and when
(07:06):
that kind of change happens, itdoes change a lot of things. And
what happened was I believe we didthe last I think there's no it was.
I think it was after we didthe last Oscar show, we were
talking about you were going to bemoving to California, And I think that
(07:27):
what hits more about that last Oscarshow was that I think that unlike the
ones where we just kind of werelike, oh, hey, this was
fun. Everything like that. Itdefinitely felt like we didn't want it to
really end. I think I rememberus talking for maybe hour maybe more after
the show was even over, justtalking about you know what it's going to
be like after this kind of ends. With that, it just it kind
(07:49):
of hit really hard. It wasone of probably the first times where I
wouldn't say I was like depressed aboutit, but it was just one of
those things where it's like, I, we're all of you can use this
as an exit. Recently, Ijust did a show and we did the
performances, and it's one of thosethings where you just didn't let that feeling
tends. And it was kind ofthat same feeling where it's like I just
(08:09):
don't want this to be over becauseit's so much fun working with you.
Did you feel the same way whennight happened, Tory, or how'd you
feel about this? Kind Definitely?I mean I had a lot there's a
bittersweetness about it, right, solike there's some good in understanding that,
like there's a moving on point oflike like I'm moving on to a different
(08:33):
location for my own career. Andwhat I'm doing, but it stinks that
you also have to like kind oflet go of the life that you had
there and that was part this waspart of that life, was having the
ability to go and meet up anddo podcasts together live and and then be
(08:54):
on the same time zone and allthis stuff. Like it was definitely one
of those things that it's like,hey, like we can't do this anymore,
and that's that's really really sad.There was definitely a grieving period.
I don't know if I grieved rightaway, because I don't think I understood
the grief behind just moving even atthat point, but I do now.
(09:18):
I know that now, and Iknow that there was definitely grief happening,
and you know, it's part oflife is having to learn like can things
adjust and change with you or doyou have to say goodbye and let go?
And like, sometimes you have tolet go. And I think what
(09:39):
most people are figuring out in theirlives now is if you let something go,
it can choose to come back toyou, and that can be an
even more beautiful thing than the holdingon to something too tightly to where you
strangle it type of thing. Sothat's kind of a cool, little like
come around moment. I think ofthe great of being like, hey,
(10:01):
that's why we end it is becauseit would have been really hard and now
it's naturally. You're like, Ikind of want to do this, and
I was like, that's weird.I kind of want to do this,
and I feel like we have thespace and time now, and you're like,
holy crap, are we doing this? Yeah, And it's kind of
weird because one of the things Ireally enjoyed about going down to Illinois not
(10:24):
only to do the filming with Wyatt, to do the fmls and doing some
of the wrestling stuff they did downthere at the time, but also I
could take the time to go toSchomberg at the time and we would do,
like you said, we would dolike some great things. And also
there were times where you'd say,Hey, I'm doing like a convention here
(10:45):
in Milwaukee. I'm doing one inChicago. You're the one that introduced me
to C to E two, whichhas been one of the most splendid experiences
that I could ever have so manygreat memories with C to E two.
But I think I definitely give youa lot of credit for definitely broadening my
horizons when it comes down to it, because I don't think there was ever
(11:07):
a point of me that would havejust said, oh, you know,
conventions, it sounds like a lotof fun. I probably was still on
that point where it's like, Idon't know, I feel like I'm not
going to fit in with this kindof deal. But getting that chance to
go to some of these conventions andsee some of the expos and seeing some
of the features and such like that, and even getting to meet some of
the people that I'm like, ohmy gosh, I remember this person from
(11:30):
my child, Oh my gosh,there's this person I got to see rest,
Oh my gosh, there's all thesekind of crazy things. And just
seeing so much of these creative peoplethat go to these conventions. It's definitely
give me a broader respect for conventionsin and of itself. So I definitely
want to thank you for definitely openingmy eyes to that, and also to
the amazingly creative and wildly creative people, and some to the point where I'm
(11:54):
like, how the hell do youhave to have this much money to spend
on a costume? I am absolutelyamazed. Oh yeah, oh my gosh,
Yes, I'm not gonna lie,I haven't been to a I've been
to only one convention out here,really, and I did not costume for
it. But I miss costuming inthe sense of how beautiful it was and
(12:18):
how amazing, just like you givingthe props to the people who make the
props and stuff. But oh oh, I'm happy not to be carrying all
that stuff around anymore. Speaking ofletting go, Oh yeah, you forget
how much space you have too whenyou have like a whole house in the
Midwest versus like a one bedroom inLa type of Now I have a two
(12:46):
bedroom, but I still don't haveenough space for eighteen foot wings anymore.
Want maybe one day when you gota bigger house, but right now,
it's just like those wings are justgoing to be hidden off somewhere in like
a relic or a different time capsule, something like that. That's what pictures
and videos are for. That isabsolutely true, Marie condo or something you
(13:09):
know, the like hug it,thank it, and then give it away.
That's what I had to do witha lot of things. Oh it's
all right, it's it's served mewell, and I was very happy to
have had them in my life.See look at how look at how emotional
it gets, so happy to havethese costuming pieces in my life, and
(13:31):
now somebody else can use them andsomebody else can have fun with them,
or or they have done their dutyand now they are in costuming heaven fair
enough, which is obvious. Wellyeah, I mean, jesuise if nobody
believes in costume heaven, jesuise.Yeah, a different conversation. So,
(13:56):
since we've broken off and kind ofgo in our separate ways, what have
you kind of been up to you? Because I know that every now and
then we've kind of chatted about someof the things that you know you've done.
I think you've gone to a coupleof different jobs, you met some
very cool people from what our conversationshave been. But like, if you
can give us like a summary ofwhat you've been doing since since the show
(14:20):
kind of ended. So it's kindof like one of those where are they
now? Featuress, because I'm surea lot of people since you left Facebook
are like wondering, Wow, Iwonder what she's been doing. Yeah,
first off, I apologize if somebodywas trying to contact you on Facebook,
because I know Nate was telling methat my account is still active, but
I don't get any information. AndI think my Instagram is connected to Facebook
(14:43):
somehow, and so when I rarelypost, people are like, wait,
she's still on here. I'm like, no, not allowed. Had to
do that weird picture with your IDand You're like it's me and they're like,
we don't believe you. Like,oh, man, does that makes
sense? Yeah? I actually knowpeople who work at Facebook and They're like,
(15:03):
do you want me to look intoit? And I'm like, is
that a thing? Is that whatyou do? I mean, yeah,
we can like maybe, I don'tknow. I don't care that much yet.
I'm not going to get the likelittle real people touching the things.
But no. So a lot hashappened, a lot, a lot of
(15:26):
things I've been in. But Iguess mainly is I live in like the
West side of Los Angeles now onlylike a mile from the beach. I
love where I live. It's beautiful. I love going to the ocean.
(15:48):
I love the freedom I have.Right now, I'm kind of more just
doing gigwork, so I'm taking onjust acting jobs and I currently am an
actor for a company that hires hoststo come in and host game nights.
So I've worked with you know,Dan from Imagine Dragons. I've worked with
(16:11):
Kristen bell We. I've worked withquite a bit of like you know,
like kind of more like bless celebritiestoo that you just like you're like,
oh, I know who you are, Like I know who you are,
but if I like you don't knowtheir names, but you're like, oh,
like Schmidt from New Girl and I'mlike, yeah, you were New
Girl and stuff like that, whichis really kind of fun, really cool
(16:36):
to like know, like the there'sso many entertainers, there's so many actors
out there that you get to likejust interact with at this gig because that's
what I'm doing, is I'm hostingthe night for them, and they're like,
are you an actor? I'm like, of course i am. Do
you see me with this with thismicrophone in my hand? The power?
(16:56):
But yes, I do a lotof just kind of gig work, and
I am. I feel very successfulin that. But I also you know,
and still on the lookout for youknow, the next big acting like
on camera opportunity. I'm currently ina few pilots and not much like they're
(17:22):
not like out out, so likeI can't talk too much about that,
but I've been really throwing myself intothe industry as much as possible out here,
and I think we kind of chatted, but like you know, twenty
twenty, I moved to LA intwenty twenty, and you know, we
all know that that it was shutdown. Everybody was shut down. And
(17:47):
then twenty twenty one it opened upfor a second, and then it was
like, oh, gotcha. Nope, shut down again, and I was
like, oh you They're like,oh, we got you. You thought
you wanted to do this. Ithought so, I guess not. And
then twenty twenty two it picked backup again and things were happening. But
then the strike and everything of thispast year has really really made it a
(18:11):
little like interesting in the sense thatit's like, Okay, we're going to
just wait until it comes back tome, almost like the podcast. So
as of right now, I amacting as if I am a spider and
(18:32):
I am building my web, andwhatever comes into my web, I will
give it my attention and see ifit's worth my time. But I am
not going to go procure anything myself. In that sense, I am working
on my web, working on myabilities, my talents and whatever is mine
(18:53):
will come to me. And that'sthat's my mentality. Now, spider mentality.
I'm Spider woman is what I wastrying to say. I was going
for like the Madam Webb kind ofreference there. I feel like that would
have been more appropriate. I mean, my niece would like me to choose
Ghost Spider. Ah. Okay,I think the Gwen Stacy version, you
(19:17):
know. Oh, I could seethat. I could definitely see I should
have said I'm Ghost Spidy. Iknow that theme song to the Little the
Spider Man Show on Disney Plus becausebecause I've had to sing it so much.
I was also about to say whichone. I'm pretty sure there's at
least five different Spiderman TV shows onthat. It's like a Spidy Friends.
(19:41):
It's called like Spider Man and SpidyFriends. Okay, yes, for like
three year olds. Yeah, that'sthe one that I'm talking about. Yeah.
I think I think that my nephewstried to watch it, and I
think it just kind of went overtheir heads a little bit. It's just
those things where like, oh,it looks cool, then they sit down
watch for a lot. I waslike, Okay, this is boring.
(20:03):
I think that's a big difference betweengirls and boys. Like she'll just like
look at it. She'll just likebe that, like she's like, this
is me now, I'm Spidey.I'm go Spidey, and like she's watching
it and doing whatever that person's doing. It's it's really funny. It's super
cute until you have to replay thesong over and over because she wants to
play it. That's something like it. But you know, the guy the
(20:27):
singer is the lead singer from FalloutBoy because his kids are really into the
show, so he's like, whynot, why not, I'll do it.
So it's a great catchy theme,still still not necessarily what you want
to listen to on replay, youknow. No, that's my personal opinion,
(20:48):
My personal opinion, right, SoI guess if people are kind of
curious for me, I've been justkind of working from like job to job.
There's even like a point where Ithink I was going from like one
job to another one one job.I'm not gonna mention their name because I
think at this point it's just futile. Uh. They had me on for
(21:11):
about a month and after a whilethey were just like, we're gonna have
to let you go, and I'mlike, why, I don't think I've
done anything wrong. And then thehr REP they didn't say some in front
of the people, but they saidto me behind closed doors, they said,
well, well of the reasons why, it's just it didn't seem like
you were very interested. And it'slike, I have barely even started.
(21:33):
I went to go. I wentto get my CDL license. Unfortunately,
fortunately I failed, so that wouldmean that I didn't just get it for
nothing. But but yeah, no, it was just one of those situations
where I'm like, you know,it's weird when they basically tell you you
don't have to put us on yourresume. You don't have to do that.
It's like, oh, okay,this is weird. But I mean
(21:57):
this just shows have a good companyyou are to me at least. Wow.
Yeah, probably better with other people, but not for me. Ah.
So now I'm working with bed Exas a delivery driver. So I
found my routes. I found aplace where I've really been enjoying it,
working with a network called wrestle AticRadio who talk a lot about wrestling.
(22:23):
Uh, just going to do aquick shout out to them. Kings of
the Rings podcast, Pretsilvania podcast,Young Lions Perspective. Definitely check them out
all throughout the week. They areabsolutely phenomenal, and also check out our
discord because we do a lot ofcrazy stuff, Like there comes a point
where we'll just randomly just go intolike wrestling impressions, like I'll break out
(22:45):
the stone cold impression, be like, oh, you can't kick out of
my move set? Oh hell yeah. Just having absolutely crazy times. And
one of the proudest things that I'vedone recently was Noses Off, which was
a show within a show kind oftheater deal and worked with an amazing cast.
(23:07):
I cannot, for the life ofme continually to you know, show
praise to them enough because they're absolutelyamazing. I actually went through like a
full long Facebook deal where I talkedabout each individual person that was and there.
Thankfully, it was a smaller cast, so it was going to be
like a twenty page deal. Ithink it was more like ten, but
regardless, but it was one ofthe best experiences, and there were a
(23:29):
lot of people that gave me positivefeedback that were just saying like, Wow,
you're really really good at this role. And there were some people that
are saying like, this was therole for you. This was just perfect
because I played a character who knewall the lines and basically are just saying
like, Nope, this is notthe right line, this is not the
right line. I'm like, wow, this somehow worked out to my benefits.
I came out to be the mostannoying version of me possible basically,
(23:52):
but people are just like no,but it's still funny. It's still like,
yeah, it all works out onthe end when basically I'm being threatened,
hit, fall off a bench.That kind of deal. I got
to do some physical comedy and payhomage to Chris Farley, which was the
best part I just literally. SoI, like I said to everybody,
I'm gonna try my best to getthose posted up on the YouTube channel as
(24:15):
much as possible. It's gonna bethe three performances that we did, so
three different performances. You're gonna getthree different shows, honestly, because no
two shows are exactly the same.So I want to see it. I
will definitely show you once we getthat linked up. All right, So
now we get to the why wedecided to reconnect and do this, and
(24:40):
like I said, we kind ofbeen talking like on and off for a
while. We definitely try to,you know, keep that connection between us
because there is still that deal whereit's like, we spent like two plus
years talking to each other, soit's like we can't just cut each other
out of our lives cold Turkey.There was no way that was going to
happen. So, yeah, wetalked every now and then, and you
(25:02):
were the one that actually sparked theidea. You said, I think I
kind of would like to do podcastingagain. And I was thinking, Okay,
she must want to do like herown podcast or something like that.
It's like, no, I wantto do podcasting with you again. I'm
like, interesting, is there atime where you can talk? Okay?
And I immediately got flashbacks to thefirst time that we talked on them It's
like, well, and honestly,it was quicker than that for conversation,
(25:26):
probably like four minutes and we're like, let's do it again. Let's they'll
come back so two So those arewondering, was it a dramatics right,
No, it was probably quicker thanwe was the first time that we talked.
It was we already had our intentionset right, But no, yeah,
I I personally just think it wasalways fun to kind of go into
(25:55):
a show or something that I waswatching with the idea that I would get
to talk to somebody about it.I think that in general, I think
that's what entertainment's all about, isto discuss and like, well, that's
art. Art in general is todiscuss and give your feedback, your feelings,
your opinions, whether or not youthought it was good. I love
(26:21):
the idea that, like I hadsomebody I could talk to about these things
and we would you know, schedule, Okay, we're going to watch this
or do that or do that,and then you're like going in and you're
like, oh my gosh, thisis crap. I'm going to take notes
about this and say that and blahblah blah, and it's still fun and
it still engages you, and itmakes you want to watch more things and
be more in the now, inthe know of what's going on in the
(26:42):
entertainment business. And that could onlybe a positive thing for me as for
you too, as actors in thisindustry, it's always good to know what's
out there, know what roles areout there, and what's series are coming
back around or having a season threeor whatnot. And I think this podcast
(27:07):
is one of those things that justkeep you excited about all that stuff instead
of like, you know, I'mgood elsewhere, Like I'll still go play
basketball, I'll still go do allthese things. I'm interested still in that
my little like fandom, I don'teven know what I want to call it,
little fandom, like little like passionhas kind of like pewtered, petered
(27:30):
away, And so I want toignite that again. And I thought that
this could this could be the thing, and Nate could be the guy to
ignite it again. Light the torchof the game changing, light the torch.
Let the victory bell fly like thephoenix from the fire. Let's do
(27:51):
it, burn it down. Ohman, I'm already thinking of just like
great theme songs to just put atthe start of the show. Obviously,
guys, this is going to bea pilot episode, so it's just going
to be raw us talking that kindof deal. But time goes on,
you'll definitely hear a lotle more newsof being played. Who knows. If
time goes on, maybe we canget sponsorships. Who knows. At this
(28:14):
point, we'll see how that worksout. But to give you guys a
preview of what you could expect withthis show. As Tory said, We're
gonna definitely be talking a lot aboutentertainment. And honestly, one of the
biggest entertainment gurus icons and I guessmountains that we have right now is,
of course you guessed it Disney,because Disney owns everything. And yes,
(28:37):
Simpson's called it, who cares whocalled it? So it was kind of
crazy because I was thinking about,like, what in Disney can we talk
about? And one of the thingsthat I don't think we even hit on
when we first did the show wastalking about the different eras that Disney kind
of went through, and I'm thinking, well, how many eras could they
(28:57):
possibly have? In told they wouldhave seven, but I decided to add
an eighth one. And I'll tellyou guys right now what that era is.
It's the straight to VHS era,because that itself is an era that
needs to be discussed because we livedthat and it was, uh, it
(29:18):
was interesting to say the least.That's the beautiful thing about Disney Plus is
that we can talk about it andbe like, wow, this was a
thing that happened. Yeah, yep, yep, and it's interesting. And
you know, I mean, Ilove how you you know you were You're
praising them to and at the sametime, like some people are like,
(29:40):
what the heck is going on?Like when is when are we going to
get a good one? When arewe going to get a banger again?
Disney? Make me cry? Disney, make me cry like I cried when
Cody Roads won the WW title.Make me cry like that. Damn it.
You know, it's really it's reallycrazy, because yes, I can
praise Disney for what they have,but I'm not afraid to be like Disney,
(30:03):
explain yourself with this one. Iremember George of the Jungle too.
I took a full week just towatch that movie. It was hard.
It was hard. So that's gonnabe one of those things where I'm sure
a lot of people are gonna beinterested. Why was it so hard?
Well, first of all, havingBrendan Fraser not in there was probably the
problem, but that's beside the points. Wait, what he didn't just get
(30:25):
a nose job and a whole facechange and a voicelift. Well, I'm
pretty sure the first joke that theymade was that, oh, Brittany Fraser
was too busy being a big Hollywoodactor. I'm like, wow, you're
literally burying your movie right at thestarts without even giving it a chance.
That's nice. That's straight to HS, right, So that is gonna be
(30:48):
hit on there. I know thatwe are also going to be talking about
some of the new movies that aregonna be coming out the time goes on.
I mean, honestly, there's gonnabe so much to really even discuss.
There's just a lot to talk aboutwhen it comes to entertainment, and
obviously when we go into Disney,we're gonna talk about, of course,
their classic movies, and we're allstill going to be getting into talking more
about Marvel because that hit like ahurricane at the start, and now it's
(31:14):
kind of maybe a drizzle, whichI said, we'll get into that a
little bit more when we talk aboutbut just to give you guys a little
preview of that, it's gonna bewild. It's gonna be crazy. Honestly,
I think you're gonna get a lotmore out of us than previous times,
because I think at first we werekind of a little nervous and then
we're starting to open up a bitnow We're just at a point where it's
like we have our opinions, wedo not care at this point. We
(31:37):
know the old saying as it goes, is that everybody has an opinion like
an asshole and they all smell.Is that? Is that what we say?
Is that the No, that's whata wrestler once said. I'm I'm
just playing off of it because itis actually true. Yeah, if you
don't have an asshole, that wouldprobably mean you're not alive. Go get
(32:01):
that checked out. Nice. Alittle addition to that now, now go
see a doctor. Go see adoctor, because Victory Bed would like you
to see that. Other way,she will burn you with her phoenix flames.
Yes, yes, that's another wayto get rid of an asshole.
As Also, I do want tosay that's just because of the fact that
(32:22):
we mentioned sort of a Pokemon deal. One of our mutual friends, Ben
Trust, who is also a wrestlerin the Midwest area, literally decided to
piss off everybody in the Pokemon Foundationby ripping up a holographic Charsar card.
Ideed, this is just like cryyour dweeves. All I did is I
(32:45):
gave him a gift that just saidhow dare you? And he just says,
he replied to me saying, bringme your favorite Pokemon card and I'll
rip it up to your dweeb.I'm just like, I'm just going to
leave that alone because he's already digginghis own grave at this point, and
I'm sure somebody's going to bury aminute. But that's so funny. That's
actually really really funny. He's doinggood. Yeah, I feel like he
(33:07):
looks like he's kicking kicking butt.Oh, he is absolutely doing amazing.
It was probably the only second timeI've seen him in Wisconsin. I was
just like, wait, that's notand then they said Ben trust I'm like,
I knew it. I knew itwas him. Oh your tweets.
He's the best part about that ishe's the biggest sweep and we all know,
(33:31):
oh man, we're gonna have toget him on the show. I
want to. I want to seethe authenticity of that card because I bet
if it was really authentic, itwouldn't have been ripped. Also, I
will say this is kind of aside deal that I will I'm actually going
to start doing again, is thatI'm actually going to do some interviews with
a couple of people. They mightbe wrestlers, but they're also going to
(33:52):
be some local talent, some peoplethat I've known through the theater community as
well as some people that have sheworked uh through cosplay through the midwest Wisconsin
area that been talking to them.And there's even been one place. I'm
gonna give people this name and definitelycheck her out. Goofy Gore is one
(34:15):
of the most unique but also amazingjust creative things I have honestly ever seen.
They literally have like you know thoselike little green men that they have
in Ah in the toy story Buzzlightyour movies, Army Men. No,
no, no, that does On'slike the little green alien men. Yeah.
(34:37):
So there's a way that she wasable to take that and just make
it into like almost like a horrormovie creature. She just takes something like
that. It was like, youknow what, some people are having fun
with Winnie the Pooh, This onlyseems right. Oh wow, wow wow,
Okay, Yeah, that's that's awesome. I have the pan creative.
I do have the pin around heresomewhere. I'm gonna have to show it
(34:57):
to you one of these days.It's it's amazing, but Definitely check it
out. Like I said, goofyGore is what it's called. Definitely check
it out. It's absolutely phenomenal.So we're gonna wrap up this edition.
It's going to be a short episode. Like I said, it's our pilot.
Which hey, ironically enough you cantalk about this one, Tori,
because you're involved in it and literallyand hey, I don't have to deal
(35:20):
with NDAs because I can't afford NDA'sat this point. So I mean,
you can send one out, doesn'tmean we can enforce it, right,
That is true. It's just it'sjust one of those letters that just says
NDA. There's like nothing else theThree Lives. I didn't know how to
do it. I assume this ishow they did it in the corporate world.
(35:43):
It's just NDA. There we gopeople like, yeah, yeah,
that that's totally how it works.This guy, I sent you an NDA,
did you not see it? Andjust they just write whatever it is
underneath it and it'say, no disparaitementagreement, non dental association. Oh my
gosh, good job, good job. Yeah, definitely send me an NDA
and I will make up a goodacronym for it. This chaos and more
(36:10):
that you can only get on theGame Teacher podcast. Guys, we are
back and we are hoping that youwill join us for this crazy wild ride.
And we're starting off strong because we'regoing back to the Golden Ages,
Silver Ages, whatever you want tocall it, of Disney. So that
is what you can expect for thenext episode. We're covering the eras of
Disney, talking about the animated movies. We could talk about the live action
(36:34):
ones, but that feels like justanother podcasting of itself. So we're going
to cover the main ones that wehave for each era, and then we're
going to kind of go from there. It might even take two episodes for
some of these movies because there's alot to talk about with these Oh yeah,
I love them. What a goodwhat a good time. I'm excited
for going back in time with Disney. It makes me happy if my inner
(36:54):
child is singing. But if youguys, guys want to interact with us
on social media, you can definitelycheck me out on Twitter as well as
on Instagram at real fn game.Feel free to say something nice or say
something main but not too mean,because I do cry easily. Be sure
to also give the games theater podcastphage a nice like, and also feel
(37:16):
free to check out my show Bracefor Impact that I do on wrestle Atic
Radio. I've already told you guyshow to find them. Best way to
go is Attic Underscore Wrestle on theTwitter and they have a linked tree like
there that you can hit that andyou'll get access to all of the links
that you could do, especially checkout a lot of our great stuff,
including our merchandise. It's always great. But Tori, obviously Facebook is not
(37:39):
an option. But if they wantedto interact with you on social media,
how could they possibly do that?Wow? The possibilities are endless, not
true? Well, like, arelimited? Are limited to that list?
Yeah? I would say the bestway to interact with me is on my
(38:00):
Instagram, which is at Tory ClarkUnderscore Boss Mode. Yeah, you can
catch me there, I got sendme a message. I hopefully will start
posting again. I really enjoy postingon Instagram and creating again. And that's
why we're doing this, and thisis a creative collaboration and we're going to
(38:22):
continue to do it, and whoknows, it might spark more things from
both of us. Absolutely, so, guys, thank you so much for
joining us here. Like I said, GCP is back. We're bigger,
we're better, we're better than ever. We're probably crazier than ever at this
point, So yes, I wouldsay, yes, I accept. I
(38:44):
accept my crazy more than ever.Now maybe we're going to have to go
a little Miss Jay and Holly Queen, but who knows at this point.
So thank you guys for joining in. For Tory Clark, I've been Nate
the up and grade. This hasbeen the Game Teager podcast, and we
asked a question, why so serious? Take care of you? Bye?
(39:07):
Okay, now, how the helldo I do this? Oh wait,
that's right,
All right, I think everything's goodnow. So, ladies and gentlemen,
it's the Game Changer Podcast. It'sback. I am your host, Nathi
Effingreats. After a long absence andafter saying so many times, hey,
it's coming back, it's coming back, finally got the motivation to finally do
(00:20):
this podcast, and I needed alittle help doing that. I couldn't think
of anybody to help me out withthat with the return of the GCP than
the one, the only, thefabulous Victory Bell and you know her best
as Tory Clark. Tori. It'sgreat to have you back. Yeah,
no is this is really exciting.I think it was very Kisnet that this
(00:44):
came together and it happened to bewe both were on the verge of wanting
to talk more about entertainment again exactly. And ladies and gentlemen, we're going
to be talking about a couple ofthings. This is going to be more
of like a pilot test episode inwhich we're going to talk to you guys
about how this came to be atfirst, why we decided to end it
(01:06):
when we did, what we've beendoing since that point, and what really
sparked the return of the game changingduo. I guess you could call us
to make its comeback and to startwith this right now. So let's start
from ground up. How this allcame about. I remember when I was
talking to a lot of random peopleonline and one of them was one of
(01:29):
our good mutual friend god rest hissoul dead girl, and I remember seeing
him and Celeste. They were doingtheir thing, and then for some reason,
there was just this one girl thatpopped up in my head and I'm
just like, who is this girl? Why did she seem kind of interesting?
So I just remember seeing her namebeing tagged, and I remember messaging
(01:53):
her that person being Tori. Soafter a while we started talking and it
came to a point where I saidshe might be a good co host.
So I messaged her and said,would you be interested in co hosting the
show? And I remember, Istill remember to this day that you said,
let's talk on the phone for Ithink it was maybe fifteen thirty minutes
(02:15):
something like that, Let's see howit goes. If it works out,
I feel comfortable with it, we'lldo it. And obviously if it didn't
work out, we would not behere today. Well yeah, I mean
I think I think everybody's been there. In today's age of almost like online
dating type of thing, you knowthat conversation can flow with people, and
(02:37):
conversation can just pit her out anddie. And so like if we were
if it was going to be anawkward like okay, yeah, me too,
and then silence, it would beit would just not be fun for
either of us. So you haveto have some sort of chemistry to have
a conversation with someone regarding anything.People have to have a certain you know,
(03:04):
flow going back and forth. Andthat's kind of where I was doing
a little like temperature check, andI think, yeah, obviously it happened.
So we passed. We both passed. It wasn't just a test for
you as a test that can weboth talk to one another? Yes,
it was, yes, And honestly, you were the one that kind of
(03:25):
pulled the trigger on it because Ithink we were almost maybe like seven minutes
in the conversation and you just said, okay, let's go. I'm like,
wait really, yeah, no,we're totally fine. Yeah. Well
again, like if you can tellwhen you can talk, come on,
Nate, there had to be atime where you were talking to somebody and
(03:45):
like you were just like, ohmy gosh, I feel like I'm pulling
teeth here, Like why am Ieven having this conversation right now? No.
Definitely not as much though, becauseI think I've definitely tried to like
reach a point where it's like,Okay, maybe this person's not really worth
my time and they're just not reallygiving me that much, because you want
(04:06):
to feel like they had, likeit as much interested as you as you
do with them. I think thatwas kind of one of the things that
really set us apart from a lotof other shows is that we definitely do
try to like dissect each other's brainsto be like, hmm, okay,
I understand what you're saying, butwhy that's kind of I think one of
the cool things that really made theshow work was because we definitely had two
(04:29):
sides of the same cloth, andit was always a fun time no matter
what we were doing. Really ohyeah, oh yeah, Well, I'm
glad that you've never had to experiencetoo bad of like somebody not not like
vibing with you. But I alsoI liked what you said about the having
common interest within the person you're talkingto. I think that's a huge thing
(04:55):
that you bring to the table isthat you're very interested in that person,
and you bring your interest to thatperson. I think that's one of the
things that made me just like rightaway be like, all right, we
can do this, Like you're givingme as much as you're hoping to receive,
and that's huge, where a lotof people don't. I don't think
that's a common thing. Maybe podcastinginterviewing wise, it feels that way,
(05:20):
but I don't think in general it'sa common thing. And I think having
the idea that someone can be interestingno matter what they're talking about or why
they're talking to you or what's goingon, is a huge attribute to have,
Like make that person interesting, beinterested in them, and then all
of a sudden, you're right,there is no boring conversations that are just
(05:42):
like so it's cold out, Ithink right, not by me, but
I think if one of us wereto do that line, we would just
be doing that just either break thetension or just to be goofy, because
I think were to that point wherewe're just so comfortable with each other with
that. I mean, for goodnesssakes, we did at least three years
(06:05):
worth of like Oscar Live shows,which I feel like every single one of
them had their own quirks, withthe last one being probably the biggest bomb
that we had because we tried puttingit on Facebook and they're just like no,
no, no, Facebook said notto me so many times in my
(06:25):
life, and now I just giveit up. I've gotten the message.
Thank you, I'm done. Youhear that, Mark Zuckerberg, She's done
with you. That relationship's over.Meta not done. But Facebook, Facebook,
it wasn't. It wasn't. Thenit was me. Apparently I was
(06:45):
the problem, so they took meoff of it. So obviously, like
I said, we did so muchand we talked about so much when it
came to the podcast, and obviouslythere came a point where if it felt
like we were on a good role. But life does change, and when
(07:06):
that kind of change happens, itdoes change a lot of things. And
what happened was I believe we didthe last I think there's no it was.
I think it was after we didthe last Oscar show, we were
talking about you were going to bemoving to California, And I think that
(07:27):
what hits more about that last Oscarshow was that I think that unlike the
ones where we just kind of werelike, oh, hey, this was
fun. Everything like that. Itdefinitely felt like we didn't want it to
really end. I think I rememberus talking for maybe hour maybe more after
the show was even over, justtalking about you know what it's going to
be like after this kind of ends. With that, it just it kind
(07:49):
of hit really hard. It wasone of probably the first times where I
wouldn't say I was like depressed aboutit, but it was just one of
those things where it's like, I, we're all of you can use this
as an exit. Recently, Ijust did a show and we did the
performances, and it's one of thosethings where you just didn't let that feeling
tends. And it was kind ofthat same feeling where it's like I just
(08:09):
don't want this to be over becauseit's so much fun working with you.
Did you feel the same way whennight happened, Tory, or how'd you
feel about this? Kind Definitely?I mean I had a lot there's a
bittersweetness about it, right, solike there's some good in understanding that,
like there's a moving on point oflike like I'm moving on to a different
(08:33):
location for my own career. Andwhat I'm doing, but it stinks that
you also have to like kind oflet go of the life that you had
there and that was part this waspart of that life, was having the
ability to go and meet up anddo podcasts together live and and then be
(08:54):
on the same time zone and allthis stuff. Like it was definitely one
of those things that it's like,hey, like we can't do this anymore,
and that's that's really really sad.There was definitely a grieving period.
I don't know if I grieved rightaway, because I don't think I understood
the grief behind just moving even atthat point, but I do now.
(09:18):
I know that now, and Iknow that there was definitely grief happening,
and you know, it's part oflife is having to learn like can things
adjust and change with you or doyou have to say goodbye and let go?
And like, sometimes you have tolet go. And I think what
(09:39):
most people are figuring out in theirlives now is if you let something go,
it can choose to come back toyou, and that can be an
even more beautiful thing than the holdingon to something too tightly to where you
strangle it type of thing. Sothat's kind of a cool, little like
come around moment. I think ofthe great of being like, hey,
(10:01):
that's why we end it is becauseit would have been really hard and now
it's naturally. You're like, Ikind of want to do this, and
I was like, that's weird.I kind of want to do this,
and I feel like we have thespace and time now, and you're like,
holy crap, are we doing this? Yeah, And it's kind of
weird because one of the things Ireally enjoyed about going down to Illinois not
(10:24):
only to do the filming with Wyatt, to do the fmls and doing some
of the wrestling stuff they did downthere at the time, but also I
could take the time to go toSchomberg at the time and we would do,
like you said, we would dolike some great things. And also
there were times where you'd say,Hey, I'm doing like a convention here
(10:45):
in Milwaukee. I'm doing one inChicago. You're the one that introduced me
to C to E two, whichhas been one of the most splendid experiences
that I could ever have so manygreat memories with C to E two.
But I think I definitely give youa lot of credit for definitely broadening my
horizons when it comes down to it, because I don't think there was ever
(11:07):
a point of me that would havejust said, oh, you know,
conventions, it sounds like a lotof fun. I probably was still on
that point where it's like, Idon't know, I feel like I'm not
going to fit in with this kindof deal. But getting that chance to
go to some of these conventions andsee some of the expos and seeing some
of the features and such like that, and even getting to meet some of
the people that I'm like, ohmy gosh, I remember this person from
(11:30):
my child, Oh my gosh,there's this person I got to see rest,
Oh my gosh, there's all thesekind of crazy things. And just
seeing so much of these creative peoplethat go to these conventions. It's definitely
give me a broader respect for conventionsin and of itself. So I definitely
want to thank you for definitely openingmy eyes to that, and also to
the amazingly creative and wildly creative people, and some to the point where I'm
(11:54):
like, how the hell do youhave to have this much money to spend
on a costume? I am absolutelyamazed. Oh yeah, oh my gosh,
Yes, I'm not gonna lie,I haven't been to a I've been
to only one convention out here,really, and I did not costume for
it. But I miss costuming inthe sense of how beautiful it was and
(12:18):
how amazing, just like you givingthe props to the people who make the
props and stuff. But oh oh, I'm happy not to be carrying all
that stuff around anymore. Speaking ofletting go, Oh yeah, you forget
how much space you have too whenyou have like a whole house in the
Midwest versus like a one bedroom inLa type of Now I have a two
(12:46):
bedroom, but I still don't haveenough space for eighteen foot wings anymore.
Want maybe one day when you gota bigger house, but right now,
it's just like those wings are justgoing to be hidden off somewhere in like
a relic or a different time capsule, something like that. That's what pictures
and videos are for. That isabsolutely true, Marie condo or something you
(13:09):
know, the like hug it,thank it, and then give it away.
That's what I had to do witha lot of things. Oh it's
all right, it's it's served mewell, and I was very happy to
have had them in my life.See look at how look at how emotional
it gets, so happy to havethese costuming pieces in my life, and
(13:31):
now somebody else can use them andsomebody else can have fun with them,
or or they have done their dutyand now they are in costuming heaven fair
enough, which is obvious. Wellyeah, I mean, jesuise if nobody
believes in costume heaven, jesuise.Yeah, a different conversation. So,
(13:56):
since we've broken off and kind ofgo in our separate ways, what have
you kind of been up to you? Because I know that every now and
then we've kind of chatted about someof the things that you know you've done.
I think you've gone to a coupleof different jobs, you met some
very cool people from what our conversationshave been. But like, if you
can give us like a summary ofwhat you've been doing since since the show
(14:20):
kind of ended. So it's kindof like one of those where are they
now? Featuress, because I'm surea lot of people since you left Facebook
are like wondering, Wow, Iwonder what she's been doing. Yeah,
first off, I apologize if somebodywas trying to contact you on Facebook,
because I know Nate was telling methat my account is still active, but
I don't get any information. AndI think my Instagram is connected to Facebook
(14:43):
somehow, and so when I rarelypost, people are like, wait,
she's still on here. I'm like, no, not allowed. Had to
do that weird picture with your IDand You're like it's me and they're like,
we don't believe you. Like,oh, man, does that makes
sense? Yeah? I actually knowpeople who work at Facebook and They're like,
(15:03):
do you want me to look intoit? And I'm like, is
that a thing? Is that whatyou do? I mean, yeah,
we can like maybe, I don'tknow. I don't care that much yet.
I'm not going to get the likelittle real people touching the things.
But no. So a lot hashappened, a lot, a lot of
(15:26):
things I've been in. But Iguess mainly is I live in like the
West side of Los Angeles now onlylike a mile from the beach. I
love where I live. It's beautiful. I love going to the ocean.
(15:48):
I love the freedom I have.Right now, I'm kind of more just
doing gigwork, so I'm taking onjust acting jobs and I currently am an
actor for a company that hires hoststo come in and host game nights.
So I've worked with you know,Dan from Imagine Dragons. I've worked with
(16:11):
Kristen bell We. I've worked withquite a bit of like you know,
like kind of more like bless celebritiestoo that you just like you're like,
oh, I know who you are, Like I know who you are,
but if I like you don't knowtheir names, but you're like, oh,
like Schmidt from New Girl and I'mlike, yeah, you were New
Girl and stuff like that, whichis really kind of fun, really cool
(16:36):
to like know, like the there'sso many entertainers, there's so many actors
out there that you get to likejust interact with at this gig because that's
what I'm doing, is I'm hostingthe night for them, and they're like,
are you an actor? I'm like, of course i am. Do
you see me with this with thismicrophone in my hand? The power?
(16:56):
But yes, I do a lotof just kind of gig work, and
I am. I feel very successfulin that. But I also you know,
and still on the lookout for youknow, the next big acting like
on camera opportunity. I'm currently ina few pilots and not much like they're
(17:22):
not like out out, so likeI can't talk too much about that,
but I've been really throwing myself intothe industry as much as possible out here,
and I think we kind of chatted, but like you know, twenty
twenty, I moved to LA intwenty twenty, and you know, we
all know that that it was shutdown. Everybody was shut down. And
(17:47):
then twenty twenty one it opened upfor a second, and then it was
like, oh, gotcha. Nope, shut down again, and I was
like, oh you They're like,oh, we got you. You thought
you wanted to do this. Ithought so, I guess not. And
then twenty twenty two it picked backup again and things were happening. But
then the strike and everything of thispast year has really really made it a
(18:11):
little like interesting in the sense thatit's like, Okay, we're going to
just wait until it comes back tome, almost like the podcast. So
as of right now, I amacting as if I am a spider and
(18:32):
I am building my web, andwhatever comes into my web, I will
give it my attention and see ifit's worth my time. But I am
not going to go procure anything myself. In that sense, I am working
on my web, working on myabilities, my talents and whatever is mine
(18:53):
will come to me. And that'sthat's my mentality. Now, spider mentality.
I'm Spider woman is what I wastrying to say. I was going
for like the Madam Webb kind ofreference there. I feel like that would
have been more appropriate. I mean, my niece would like me to choose
Ghost Spider. Ah. Okay,I think the Gwen Stacy version, you
(19:17):
know. Oh, I could seethat. I could definitely see I should
have said I'm Ghost Spidy. Iknow that theme song to the Little the
Spider Man Show on Disney Plus becausebecause I've had to sing it so much.
I was also about to say whichone. I'm pretty sure there's at
least five different Spiderman TV shows onthat. It's like a Spidy Friends.
(19:41):
It's called like Spider Man and SpidyFriends. Okay, yes, for like
three year olds. Yeah, that'sthe one that I'm talking about. Yeah.
I think I think that my nephewstried to watch it, and I
think it just kind of went overtheir heads a little bit. It's just
those things where like, oh,it looks cool, then they sit down
watch for a lot. I waslike, Okay, this is boring.
(20:03):
I think that's a big difference betweengirls and boys. Like she'll just like
look at it. She'll just likebe that, like she's like, this
is me now, I'm Spidey.I'm go Spidey, and like she's watching
it and doing whatever that person's doing. It's it's really funny. It's super
cute until you have to replay thesong over and over because she wants to
play it. That's something like it. But you know, the guy the
(20:27):
singer is the lead singer from FalloutBoy because his kids are really into the
show, so he's like, whynot, why not, I'll do it.
So it's a great catchy theme,still still not necessarily what you want
to listen to on replay, youknow. No, that's my personal opinion,
(20:48):
My personal opinion, right, SoI guess if people are kind of
curious for me, I've been justkind of working from like job to job.
There's even like a point where Ithink I was going from like one
job to another one one job.I'm not gonna mention their name because I
think at this point it's just futile. Uh. They had me on for
(21:11):
about a month and after a whilethey were just like, we're gonna have
to let you go, and I'mlike, why, I don't think I've
done anything wrong. And then thehr REP they didn't say some in front
of the people, but they saidto me behind closed doors, they said,
well, well of the reasons why, it's just it didn't seem like
you were very interested. And it'slike, I have barely even started.
(21:33):
I went to go. I wentto get my CDL license. Unfortunately,
fortunately I failed, so that wouldmean that I didn't just get it for
nothing. But but yeah, no, it was just one of those situations
where I'm like, you know,it's weird when they basically tell you you
don't have to put us on yourresume. You don't have to do that.
It's like, oh, okay,this is weird. But I mean
(21:57):
this just shows have a good companyyou are to me at least. Wow.
Yeah, probably better with other people, but not for me. Ah.
So now I'm working with bed Exas a delivery driver. So I
found my routes. I found aplace where I've really been enjoying it,
working with a network called wrestle AticRadio who talk a lot about wrestling.
(22:23):
Uh, just going to do aquick shout out to them. Kings of
the Rings podcast, Pretsilvania podcast,Young Lions Perspective. Definitely check them out
all throughout the week. They areabsolutely phenomenal, and also check out our
discord because we do a lot ofcrazy stuff, Like there comes a point
where we'll just randomly just go intolike wrestling impressions, like I'll break out
(22:45):
the stone cold impression, be like, oh, you can't kick out of
my move set? Oh hell yeah. Just having absolutely crazy times. And
one of the proudest things that I'vedone recently was Noses Off, which was
a show within a show kind oftheater deal and worked with an amazing cast.
(23:07):
I cannot, for the life ofme continually to you know, show
praise to them enough because they're absolutelyamazing. I actually went through like a
full long Facebook deal where I talkedabout each individual person that was and there.
Thankfully, it was a smaller cast, so it was going to be
like a twenty page deal. Ithink it was more like ten, but
regardless, but it was one ofthe best experiences, and there were a
(23:29):
lot of people that gave me positivefeedback that were just saying like, Wow,
you're really really good at this role. And there were some people that
are saying like, this was therole for you. This was just perfect
because I played a character who knewall the lines and basically are just saying
like, Nope, this is notthe right line, this is not the
right line. I'm like, wow, this somehow worked out to my benefits.
I came out to be the mostannoying version of me possible basically,
(23:52):
but people are just like no,but it's still funny. It's still like,
yeah, it all works out onthe end when basically I'm being threatened,
hit, fall off a bench.That kind of deal. I got
to do some physical comedy and payhomage to Chris Farley, which was the
best part I just literally. SoI, like I said to everybody,
I'm gonna try my best to getthose posted up on the YouTube channel as
(24:15):
much as possible. It's gonna bethe three performances that we did, so
three different performances. You're gonna getthree different shows, honestly, because no
two shows are exactly the same.So I want to see it. I
will definitely show you once we getthat linked up. All right, So
now we get to the why wedecided to reconnect and do this, and
(24:40):
like I said, we kind ofbeen talking like on and off for a
while. We definitely try to,you know, keep that connection between us
because there is still that deal whereit's like, we spent like two plus
years talking to each other, soit's like we can't just cut each other
out of our lives cold Turkey.There was no way that was going to
happen. So, yeah, wetalked every now and then, and you
(25:02):
were the one that actually sparked theidea. You said, I think I
kind of would like to do podcastingagain. And I was thinking, Okay,
she must want to do like herown podcast or something like that.
It's like, no, I wantto do podcasting with you again. I'm
like, interesting, is there atime where you can talk? Okay?
And I immediately got flashbacks to thefirst time that we talked on them It's
like, well, and honestly,it was quicker than that for conversation,
(25:26):
probably like four minutes and we're like, let's do it again. Let's they'll
come back so two So those arewondering, was it a dramatics right,
No, it was probably quicker thanwe was the first time that we talked.
It was we already had our intentionset right, But no, yeah,
I I personally just think it wasalways fun to kind of go into
(25:55):
a show or something that I waswatching with the idea that I would get
to talk to somebody about it.I think that in general, I think
that's what entertainment's all about, isto discuss and like, well, that's
art. Art in general is todiscuss and give your feedback, your feelings,
your opinions, whether or not youthought it was good. I love
(26:21):
the idea that, like I hadsomebody I could talk to about these things
and we would you know, schedule, Okay, we're going to watch this
or do that or do that,and then you're like going in and you're
like, oh my gosh, thisis crap. I'm going to take notes
about this and say that and blahblah blah, and it's still fun and
it still engages you, and itmakes you want to watch more things and
be more in the now, inthe know of what's going on in the
(26:42):
entertainment business. And that could onlybe a positive thing for me as for
you too, as actors in thisindustry, it's always good to know what's
out there, know what roles areout there, and what's series are coming
back around or having a season threeor whatnot. And I think this podcast
(27:07):
is one of those things that justkeep you excited about all that stuff instead
of like, you know, I'mgood elsewhere, Like I'll still go play
basketball, I'll still go do allthese things. I'm interested still in that
my little like fandom, I don'teven know what I want to call it,
little fandom, like little like passionhas kind of like pewtered, petered
(27:30):
away, And so I want toignite that again. And I thought that
this could this could be the thing, and Nate could be the guy to
ignite it again. Light the torchof the game changing, light the torch.
Let the victory bell fly like thephoenix from the fire. Let's do
(27:51):
it, burn it down. Ohman, I'm already thinking of just like
great theme songs to just put atthe start of the show. Obviously,
guys, this is going to bea pilot episode, so it's just going
to be raw us talking that kindof deal. But time goes on,
you'll definitely hear a lotle more newsof being played. Who knows. If
time goes on, maybe we canget sponsorships. Who knows. At this
(28:14):
point, we'll see how that worksout. But to give you guys a
preview of what you could expect withthis show. As Tory said, We're
gonna definitely be talking a lot aboutentertainment. And honestly, one of the
biggest entertainment gurus icons and I guessmountains that we have right now is,
of course you guessed it Disney,because Disney owns everything. And yes,
(28:37):
Simpson's called it, who cares whocalled it? So it was kind of
crazy because I was thinking about,like, what in Disney can we talk
about? And one of the thingsthat I don't think we even hit on
when we first did the show wastalking about the different eras that Disney kind
of went through, and I'm thinking, well, how many eras could they
(28:57):
possibly have? In told they wouldhave seven, but I decided to add
an eighth one. And I'll tellyou guys right now what that era is.
It's the straight to VHS era,because that itself is an era that
needs to be discussed because we livedthat and it was, uh, it
(29:18):
was interesting to say the least.That's the beautiful thing about Disney Plus is
that we can talk about it andbe like, wow, this was a
thing that happened. Yeah, yep, yep, and it's interesting. And
you know, I mean, Ilove how you you know you were You're
praising them to and at the sametime, like some people are like,
(29:40):
what the heck is going on?Like when is when are we going to
get a good one? When arewe going to get a banger again?
Disney? Make me cry? Disney, make me cry like I cried when
Cody Roads won the WW title.Make me cry like that. Damn it.
You know, it's really it's reallycrazy, because yes, I can
praise Disney for what they have,but I'm not afraid to be like Disney,
(30:03):
explain yourself with this one. Iremember George of the Jungle too.
I took a full week just towatch that movie. It was hard.
It was hard. So that's gonnabe one of those things where I'm sure
a lot of people are gonna beinterested. Why was it so hard?
Well, first of all, havingBrendan Fraser not in there was probably the
problem, but that's beside the points. Wait, what he didn't just get
(30:25):
a nose job and a whole facechange and a voicelift. Well, I'm
pretty sure the first joke that theymade was that, oh, Brittany Fraser
was too busy being a big Hollywoodactor. I'm like, wow, you're
literally burying your movie right at thestarts without even giving it a chance.
That's nice. That's straight to HS, right, So that is gonna be
(30:48):
hit on there. I know thatwe are also going to be talking about
some of the new movies that aregonna be coming out the time goes on.
I mean, honestly, there's gonnabe so much to really even discuss.
There's just a lot to talk aboutwhen it comes to entertainment, and
obviously when we go into Disney,we're gonna talk about, of course,
their classic movies, and we're allstill going to be getting into talking more
about Marvel because that hit like ahurricane at the start, and now it's
(31:14):
kind of maybe a drizzle, whichI said, we'll get into that a
little bit more when we talk aboutbut just to give you guys a little
preview of that, it's gonna bewild. It's gonna be crazy. Honestly,
I think you're gonna get a lotmore out of us than previous times,
because I think at first we werekind of a little nervous and then
we're starting to open up a bitnow We're just at a point where it's
like we have our opinions, wedo not care at this point. We
(31:37):
know the old saying as it goes, is that everybody has an opinion like
an asshole and they all smell.Is that? Is that what we say?
Is that the No, that's whata wrestler once said. I'm I'm
just playing off of it because itis actually true. Yeah, if you
don't have an asshole, that wouldprobably mean you're not alive. Go get
(32:01):
that checked out. Nice. Alittle addition to that now, now go
see a doctor. Go see adoctor, because Victory Bed would like you
to see that. Other way,she will burn you with her phoenix flames.
Yes, yes, that's another wayto get rid of an asshole.
As Also, I do want tosay that's just because of the fact that
(32:22):
we mentioned sort of a Pokemon deal. One of our mutual friends, Ben
Trust, who is also a wrestlerin the Midwest area, literally decided to
piss off everybody in the Pokemon Foundationby ripping up a holographic Charsar card.
Ideed, this is just like cryyour dweeves. All I did is I
(32:45):
gave him a gift that just saidhow dare you? And he just says,
he replied to me saying, bringme your favorite Pokemon card and I'll
rip it up to your dweeb.I'm just like, I'm just going to
leave that alone because he's already digginghis own grave at this point, and
I'm sure somebody's going to bury aminute. But that's so funny. That's
actually really really funny. He's doinggood. Yeah, I feel like he
(33:07):
looks like he's kicking kicking butt.Oh, he is absolutely doing amazing.
It was probably the only second timeI've seen him in Wisconsin. I was
just like, wait, that's notand then they said Ben trust I'm like,
I knew it. I knew itwas him. Oh your tweets.
He's the best part about that ishe's the biggest sweep and we all know,
(33:31):
oh man, we're gonna have toget him on the show. I
want to. I want to seethe authenticity of that card because I bet
if it was really authentic, itwouldn't have been ripped. Also, I
will say this is kind of aside deal that I will I'm actually going
to start doing again, is thatI'm actually going to do some interviews with
a couple of people. They mightbe wrestlers, but they're also going to
(33:52):
be some local talent, some peoplethat I've known through the theater community as
well as some people that have sheworked uh through cosplay through the midwest Wisconsin
area that been talking to them.And there's even been one place. I'm
gonna give people this name and definitelycheck her out. Goofy Gore is one
(34:15):
of the most unique but also amazingjust creative things I have honestly ever seen.
They literally have like you know thoselike little green men that they have
in Ah in the toy story Buzzlightyour movies, Army Men. No,
no, no, that does On'slike the little green alien men. Yeah.
(34:37):
So there's a way that she wasable to take that and just make
it into like almost like a horrormovie creature. She just takes something like
that. It was like, youknow what, some people are having fun
with Winnie the Pooh, This onlyseems right. Oh wow, wow wow,
Okay, Yeah, that's that's awesome. I have the pan creative.
I do have the pin around heresomewhere. I'm gonna have to show it
(34:57):
to you one of these days.It's it's amazing, but Definitely check it
out. Like I said, goofyGore is what it's called. Definitely check
it out. It's absolutely phenomenal.So we're gonna wrap up this edition.
It's going to be a short episode. Like I said, it's our pilot.
Which hey, ironically enough you cantalk about this one, Tori,
because you're involved in it and literallyand hey, I don't have to deal
(35:20):
with NDAs because I can't afford NDA'sat this point. So I mean,
you can send one out, doesn'tmean we can enforce it, right,
That is true. It's just it'sjust one of those letters that just says
NDA. There's like nothing else theThree Lives. I didn't know how to
do it. I assume this ishow they did it in the corporate world.
(35:43):
It's just NDA. There we gopeople like, yeah, yeah,
that that's totally how it works.This guy, I sent you an NDA,
did you not see it? Andjust they just write whatever it is
underneath it and it'say, no disparaitementagreement, non dental association. Oh my
gosh, good job, good job. Yeah, definitely send me an NDA
and I will make up a goodacronym for it. This chaos and more

Silver Ages, whatever you want tocall it, of Disney. So that
is what you can expect for thenext episode. We're covering the eras of
Disney, talking about the animated movies. We could talk about the live action
(36:34):
ones, but that feels like justanother podcasting of itself. So we're going
to cover the main ones that wehave for each era, and then we're
going to kind of go from there. It might even take two episodes for
some of these movies because there's alot to talk about with these Oh yeah,
I love them. What a goodwhat a good time. I'm excited
for going back in time with Disney. It makes me happy if my inner
(36:54):

(37:39):
an option. But if they wantedto interact with you on social media,
how could they possibly do that?Wow? The possibilities are endless, not
true? Well, like, arelimited? Are limited to that list?
