My man's name is Adam Bartley. Many of you know who he is, Eden Prairie High School go crazy. He's an actor and a connoisseur of fine man of chevets and Adam Bartley joins the equation here nine to noon at 11 10. Adam is the is the last time I saw you at a Vikings road game. Must have been was this sometime it was in Los Angeles and you took me, Bersich and others to a Roscoe's chicken and waffles. Is that the last time?

100% wow. Did we win the game? I think we won and we just had so much maple syrup over every bit of food we could imagine. Yeah. See, I don't see. I think it might have been a Wednesday night before a Thursday night game at the Coliseum when Jared Goff had a perfect passer rating against Zimmer's defense. And we ended up with Anthony Barr covering like Brandon Cooks and I think that's right. Cooper Cup and they were redoing the LA Coliseum. So Bersich and I like in a broom closet man, just like right next to each other calling the game. There was another one at the soccer stadium that would that chargeers game. Yeah, the chargers game. And a Fadi O'Dennebo had a scoop and score touchdown. Right. And he tried to do a Viking vault into the stand. And I love a Fadi. So I feel like I can say this without, you know, many feelings being hurt. His vertical was about eight inches. And he couldn't get up to the crowd. I think because he was tired from returning the, the, the deliverers. Speaking of vault, how do you have the ability to remember like these

specific plays from games? I mean, we're talking how many years now? Okay. Well, I can't answer that question. Okay. However, I can turn it on you, turn it to you and say, I bet you season one episode two of Longmeyer. If I brought up an example, you probably could remember the line. I could, you know, as funny as I actually wasn't in that. Like I said, episode three season, or let's go to the only ones I was not in in the entire series. Yeah, you, you were in a Longmeyer and, and I watch most of not all of it, but there was one that involved a vampire. Right? Oh, gosh. Or somebody pinned somebody up against the wall. I can't remember. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, oh, no, I think you're thinking of, um, Lucifer potentially. And you were in that. I was in that. Yeah. Oh, that's what it was. My favorite thing is I'll just be sitting around LA doing my thing and I get it text from you. You, you, you, you're, you're sitting there watching something and you're like, I just saw you in the thing. I always makes my day. Well, it was Lucifer. Yeah. What was Lucifer? Was that vampire bit? Was it like, what, was it a one time hit or a

series? It was a long series, right? I think so. Yeah. But it was, I got thrown up against the wall. Yeah. By the devil. Yes. I remember that. And then I died. I'm pretty sure. So, but you probably could remember your lines in there, which would be like, ah, stop. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. That's it. Like Adam Bartley and Alan Roach, the box of all boxes ever to box. I got two people in my life. Mailbox money. Who get that mailbox money and gets a lip there? Live's not getting flipped on. It used to be so amazing. When I did my first commercial, I was in New York. It was just out of college. And I got to, I was working at this like restaurant or whatever and late at night. And I was, you know, I went, I did a commercial for Sony. It was my first big job. And then I remember going back to, I lived right next to where I was working at my apartment. I went in, I looked at my mailbox. There was a first residual check from Sony. And it was like 1 E K. And I was going on like 150 a night just to get through. And I remember looking at that.

Yeah. Being like, I'm going to quit my job. And I did. And, you know, then was broke shortly thereafter. But now, now you know, you recently did some work with Grayson Adam, right? I just finished. Yeah. Oh wow. Is that reason? Yeah. Just recent. I just did. I lived right above the studios for like the lot for seven, eight years. And I finally got to go in there. And I used to love the show. So wait, because you lived above the studio. Yeah. Keep like knock on it. Hey guys, look at the Sony commercial. Hey, that's the band. That's the devil holding me up against the wall. Will you take my head shot? Security guard. No, yeah. I mean, I, but I got to look down and I always people would come over and I'd be like, Hey, you know, that's where they shoot Grayson Adam. And I finally got to go in there and do it. And it was such a fun. When you got a show like that that's been around 23 years or whatever, it's just dialed in. Everybody. It's like you guys. It's so comfortable. Everybody's so kind and so easy. And it's a joy because it's not always like that. I should know the guy's name, the one who just died. But then Eric Dane, Eric Dane, yeah.

Really sad. And I wasn't super familiar with him or anything. But then like I read up on him and his marriage and his faith and stuff. And I'm like, damn, wonderful guy. I didn't get to meet him. But you know, it's just, it's one of those things where it's like, man, it's just, you could have the greatest life and everything's awesome. And then one day you're just like, whoops, I got this thing. And then a year later, you're gone. So it's just another reminder to just be grateful to enjoy every minute hug the loved ones. But yeah, he was a great, great actor. It did some really great work. A Minnesota and actor A.B. is here to chat, Mary and things, including a project he has momentarily. It's called in the lab with Adam Bartley. It is super, super cool. And we're going to get into that and some he's a lifetime Vikings fan. But I have an actor siding story that I'd like to share with you. And I'm hoping Nordo remembers the picture that I'm going to reference here. It, it was Tottenham Hotspur hyper announcers on the sideline. And there's Woody Harrelson.

Oh, yeah. Okay. Yeah. Okay. Cool. Yeah. Because his memories raise their sharp. So Tottenham Hotspur before they beat the Jets and Van Ginkler had that pick six. Remember that? I do. So I snapped a selfie with Woody Harrelson. Wow. It's Woody Harrelson. Are you kidding me? And I posted it on Twitter, which now is X. Well, the age of rage came snapping at your boy. And I couldn't figure out why. So I got deeply into it. Also in the picture was a political person named Dean Phillips. And I had no idea who he was. And there are people offended on the sideline. Oh boy. An hour and 15 minutes before Van Ginkler's about ready to be day, Raj. Like, how do you not know? I'm like, I don't know. Okay. And that's that every person in the every picture that I get taken with. However, there was this famous actress with strawberry blonde hair. Also in the picture. And I had no idea who either one was Dean or the lady. I can't even remember the lady's name

now, which is an L on my part. But yeah, so people are like, yeah, there's Woody, but there's also this guy and this lady. And I'm like, damn, I'm sorry. I didn't know who they were. There's no time. Anybody ever think you were somebody else? Like, come up to you like, like a roof says, Josh Jamel, what's up? What's going on, dog? Every day. Or what about Zach Gallifinakis from the hangover? I early days. I never exact. What's up, man? I'd actually take that. If Sean Aston, I used to get people would be like, oh, I can see Sean, when I don't have a beard going, Sean Aston, he was, yeah, I got the Gallifinakis hangover bit when you had the beard. Yeah. Yeah. No, no, I'll take it. I mean, yeah. No, but luckily, no, no, nobody that I can't imagine how frustrating that would be. There's people, there's people talk about it, coming up and saying, hey, can I get an autograph from him? Doppelganger. Yeah, that's tough. Do you know Josh? Well, or at all? I don't, you know,

I read it. We are. It is weird. It is weird. I would love to meet him and it's funny because we both have the same passion or whatever. I met Nick. What's his name, the comedian? Oh, Schwartz and Schwartz and Schwartz. And yeah, we used to go, we used to watch Vikings in L.A. together way back when I moved out there, but I haven't met Josh, but at some point, I need to just to talk Vikings. Well, you both love the Vikings. Yeah. He had a moment last year where I don't remember what part of the game it was. He, whenever he's in Minnesota, he'll come into the box box and say, hello. Yeah. Then he walks down between me and Bersich. Like, we'll go to break. And then with the crowd right in front of us, I'll go, hey, Josh Demell, everybody. And like, everybody turns around and gives him just the loudest standing ovation. It's Isla Fisher in that photo. Oh, well, you found it. So she has strawberry blonde hair. Did I scribe it the right way? Yeah, perfectly. No wonder Deen's pissed, though. I didn't remember because he's in the, he's posing

for the photo. And I didn't with respect. I didn't know who he was. He's locked it. He's actually center of the money and you're pointing at him. But look at Woody. I love Fisher used to be married to Sasha Baron Cohen, who was born. Oh, yeah. They used to be. And they're no longer all. I know that. So she's famous, right? She was. She was in that movie with Vince Vaughn and I didn't crash. Yes. Oh, wow. She was the girl that he was with in that movie. Oh, dang. Holy cow. She's great. Yeah. So I mean, there was an actor side. And I'm like, hey. Yeah. Over here in London, Tottenham, Hotspur, I just ran into Harry Kane as I was going through security. And I, and I knew who he was. But I never really seen him. Nordo got me all dressed up on that one. Just in case I happen to see Harry Kane, he was right in front of me at security. To get into the field, Harry Kane, unbelievable soccer player out England way. I think at that time might have been for Tottenham, Hotspur, Everton or something like that. So cool. So I got to fist bump him. Right. And then a half hour later, selfie, there's Woody, you know, but

Age of Rage just destroyed me. Well, no, wasn't a destruction. Age of Rage got after me for a little bit for not knowing who the political guy was. And I love Fisher. Holy cow. It's dangerous out there. It's just crazy. Adam Bartley in studio nine to noon. Let's go in the lab. All right. Well, let's go in the lab. And we suggest those listening go to in the lab.org in the lab.org to listen more and learn more that is about AB Adam Bartley's latest venture in the lab with Adam Bartley, the acting workshop you are conducting in Minnesota. I mean, it looks unbelievable. Oh, sweet. Yeah. It's in Minneapolis in the lab.org. Thank you. But also looks at me annex. It looks like mooch. Yeah, it looks like mooch. A work for you and your staff to provide the best experience. Tell us more. Yeah, I got a staff extensive staff. It's me sitting at

a computer at my mom's house right now. No, I, yeah, I've never really killed my grades in that. I mean, money comes well. There's that. I haven't started a business. I did start a business a long, long time ago, but this is really extensive. I'm really just used to sort of reading scripts, playing tennis, you know, going out with friends and waiting, you know, for my next acting job to hit. But this is, is that tough? Yeah, I mean, it can be great. I mean, you know, people are like, wow, your life is pretty great. You really don't do very much, you know, lucky, but, you know, I tell you, what's tough is just, you know, the insecurity of the, of the job is wild. You know, you have, I've had years, I had 13 years right and stopped working, you know, and when we, you and I met, that's was the deal. It just wouldn't stop. And then, you know, there's a year that'll go by and you're like, okay, well, my own Netflix was the bomb. And I think when I first met you, you adjusted, finished or finished, yeah, literally just at right. I'm not with respect. I'm just not big TV guy, but I got in, I mean, I watched a series and it was fantastic. You did such a good job. Thank you. Yeah, no, it was great. It's, it's a journey out in LA. You know, I, I signed up for

this life and this life of not knowing what's next, but, but I'm, I'm here for it because great, beautiful things have come my way. And it's been an amazing journey. But I was here two years ago, filming. I got asked to be the lead in this film called unholy communion that we shot here. And when I got offered the role, I was like, wait, they make movies in Minnesota. What are you talking about? I had no idea. Oh, yeah, Fargo. Yeah. Well, I mean, uh, they shot most of that in, um, in Canada, believe it or not. Really? Yeah. Um, so in other words, they, they have tax credits here that have happened recently. And they're, and there's actually credits in Minnesota for filming. And there's film, there's films and independent films coming. So they'd better tell my, my dad's guy with these 1099s. I get you. I need some of those credits. Seriously? Well, wasn't that the big thing, Adam, in terms of Hollywood finding, I mean, you know, New Mexico, Arizona, like from a production standpoint, it's almost like we, what we would want to lure somebody here to, to host the Super Bowl, for instance. So maybe there are tax credits or some discounts and such that are part of that similarly with Hollywood.

Yep. You know, you, you, it can be more expensive. Maybe in, in a studio in LA, then it could be in Montana, for instance. So maybe you would look for those tax credits and the financial viability of certain projects. Exactly. And I mean, you know, if you go and watch things and you see people, you'll notice, well, guys, there's a lot more international shows that I'm seeing on the Netflix or on the other streaming services. And the reason is is because it is incredibly high incentive for these, you know, for these shows and films to go and shoot in Ireland or to shoot. And we're not as competitive here anymore with these credits. And so we're in LA. We're trying to even make a more. But there's a bill going through the House and Senate right now in Minnesota that would create literally the best, most, you know, incredible incentive in the country and making this. And there's just, there's this burgeoning, incredible community of artists here and, you know, actors and, and, you know, crew that are, I have this amazing time. And I'm working with these actors. And I'm like, wow, there's some real talent here. I was really moved.

And I'm like, film in a scene in Eden Prairie where I like down the street from where I grew up and having this whole moment of, you know, to be able to be around my family and, and, and work at the same time. Usually I'm just here for Vikings games and, and, you know, Christmas or whatever. But to be able to do that was so cool. And I'm driving home back to LA and I'm on the road and I just kind of hit me this idea that, you know, you know, what I should do in the time when I'm not, you know, when I'm not working when they're in between work is establish a workshop whereby I can really bring and give and really added value to actors here. And, you know, when you talk to most actors, you ask them, you know, I, I often talk and counsel actors like, they're like, I want to get where you are. I want, I want an opportunity to like raise my game and to do bigger things. I always ask, well, what, what is your demo reel look like? You know, you're, you're most, you're calling card. You're, you're advertising further work. You have the best work. Do you have a demo reel with your best work on it that looks quality and great. And the answer 98% of the time

is now. And so what I, that's why I've created this is that I'm, it's a three week workshop where we're going to, you know, sort of explore the work fine tune, shape it. And then when it's ready and alive, we bring it to camera. And I've got a, I'm assembling a whole crew of professionals, director of photography, gaffers, sound operators, hair and makeup. And we're going to film them and make them look incredible. And the work that I'm, and I'm going to be using, you know, my expertise is really the craft. I've devoted my life to the craft after how many years now I went to school for it at SMU. And I've been coaching actors for years. You went to theater school at Southern Methodist University. I did. Why? Believe it or not, at the time, it was in top 10 undergraduate acting programs in the country. Yeah. Kathy Bates went there. Yeah. Well, was the running back, backfield Eric Dickerson and Craig James, the pony express. That's the pear shape history. And if you ever seen there's a documentary called the pony about the pony express,

no, an ESPN doc about it. My friend, Fad Metula made it. But it's great. But yeah. No, are you in it? No. But the football when I went there was, it was terrible. Really? Yeah. Well, he cheated. And they were like on some type of band for a decade or so. There's like no wins. Yeah. The quote unquote death penalty or something. That's right. Yeah. Yeah. See, but they actually were forward thinking because they were doing NIL before it was legal. Right. Just ahead of their time. Really? That's a such a positive spin. But now they're playing well, I guess. But football, college football, I don't watch college football. It was never a part of my life. I never got to like get into a team or whatever. So I always just looked the other way when it's on. All right. So, so with Adam and this venture is in Minnesota and these workshops begin in May, but there's there's a pre the pre ordering or signing up in advance to save cash. It's in the lab.org in the lab.org limited to 10 actors per session adults and those 14 to

18 separate classes, right? Yeah. I wanted to this is the one thing I'm the I really when I was a kid, I would have just died to have the opportunity and even pray high school doing theater. I would have loved to have the access and the opportunity to work with somebody that's established that knows this technique and knows what on camera work is about. And I don't think there's a ton of that here. And a lot of kids, you know, would love to have the access. So I want to give it to him. I'm only doing one class, you know, for kids. And I can't do too many people because we have to film these things. Yep. And it's a lot of work. Got to add it. Set up and a lot. We are renting it to high-end cinema quality cameras. We're going for it. Got Anthony Hopkins coming into one of his coming. He's coming. I didn't just wait and hear back from his management. But no, I mean, we're, but you know, I want, you know, for anyone who has kids who are in theater, you know, who would love to have the opportunity to try this or to get the opportunity to be on set and have a real experience and really get some great work that they can have and use. You can use that

really get an agent to get additions to to book work. You know, your agents can take that and send it to incoming movies and commercials and say, hey, look, you know, and it's a huge selling point. And it's just, it's for me, it feels really good to like give back to the place that, you know, bred me and good for you, bud. It feels good. So, yes, stick around. Okay. Okay. I have a few more on in the lab.org for the artists, the actors in your family, 14 to 18, or adults, in the lab.org. Take a peek in the lab.org. And Adam Bartley is in studio with us more on that plus and biking shatter lately. My friends keep asking what I'm doing to my skin. Honestly, I didn't change my makeup. I changed my skincare. It's called farmhouse fresh. This award-winning fresh grown brand is a 14 year favorite of US spa's and beauty magazines and celebrities agree. If you're over 40 and feel like nothing really makes a difference anymore, this does. My skin

Literally anything that comes in a McDonald's carton, wrapper, or bag, or a McDonald's cup. Yes, any of those items you do it. We've got your cravings covered. Now, stop in for the flaky filet of fish, the crispy snack wrap, or a large fries for just $2.99. Limited time only, price and participation may vary. Cannot be combined with any other offer. Hey, I'm Jay Chetty, host of the on-purpose podcast. My latest episode is with Hilary Duff, singer, actress, and multi-platinum artist. Hilary opens up about complicated family dynamics, motherhood, and releasing our first record in over 10 years. We talk about what it's taken to grow up in the entertainment industry and stay grounded through every chapter. It's a raw and

honest conversation about identity, evolution, and building a life that truly matters. You desire in family like this picture, and that's not reality a lot of the time, it's for people. My sister and I don't speak. It's definitely a very painful part of my life, and I hope it's not forever, but it's for right now. Listen to on-purpose with Jay Chetty on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. The nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended, a verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Letby. Lucy Letby has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby,

we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it, to ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Letby was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to Doubt, the case of Lucy Letby, on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Just a quick reminder before we bring in Adam Bartley and we're going to do a live listen in 96 seven KFA and the plus Class A semi-final action. The first takes this shot and it's a stick and goes to that trapezoid area. Maybe I'm looking to get something going three minutes left to go in period number one. Another shot down with that fallness by Jessica might have hit them off the mask. And that is indeed Kevin Faulness on the call 96 seven KFA and the plus Class A semi-final. Hibbing and Mata Midi, first period action taking place right now. And after that, Delano. Delano plays is a war road. Yep, thank you, war road, then six o'clock tonight. Bobby brings skippers taking on Rosemount and then you have the Dino and more head. Dino and more head today. Yeah, they're the late one. Minnesota State High School Hockey Tournament Adam Bartley, Minnesota. He's an actor, but he's a Minnesota for all time. When I'm the state high school hockey tournament, I mean, I don't even need to like,

I could just stop right there and you could go back to when you're at Eden Prairie High School with the likes of Patriots wide receiver coach, Todd Downing. And you could probably remember when Lee Smith coached the Eagles and just how big the high school hockey tournament was even if you're not really into hockey. Yeah, yeah, it was huge. It was unbelievable. I mean, my step dad still is just watching it nonstop constantly on the TV, but yeah, we were always good too, by the way, Eden Prairie. We've always been pretty darn good at the hockey. But yeah, it's pretty wild. All right, Vikings before you, you say goodbye. But first, I Adam's here, long time dear friend, a big time actor, Longmire, Raisa Anatomy, Lucifer, that series, what else? Night sky. Yeah, Amazon. That was a pretty recent night. Night sky is unbelievable, by the way, with JK Simmons. No, I love that. I think it was just a one season, right? Yeah, unfortunately, yeah, it was one of the best things I've ever been a part of. And it's truly an amazing show. Really, really well done. That was sissy-spacic too, maybe?

Yeah, sissy-spacic in JK Simmons. And it was one of the best times I've ever had working. And we were shot in Chicago. And I was in Paris, just like going to the French open, doing press, and I couldn't have had a better time in my life. Couldn't be, and this is just three or four years ago, and then got the word. This was at the beginning of when these streaming services started to shrink and collapse and stop putting the big investment in, you know, is sort of the end of the big TV era, yeah. If I may ask about that, like, you've been in this business for a very long time. So how has streaming, you know, me as a customer, you know, habits change in terms of viewing and such. But I also think just the pressure to continually push out new content, like, what is that? How do you experience or feel that on the acting end where there are certainly more projects and opportunities? But the streaming business, I feel like that's certainly changed. Kind of that industry as a whole. Yeah, it's a, it's a real very, very hard time right now. You know, we're still coming off of the strikes just from a couple of years ago that we're still paying

for. There's been a 50 some percent reduction in productions in LA and overall because the streaming model, which was precipitated by, you know, Wall Street and Silicon Valley, they kind of came in and bought up the old model, which was Nielsen ratings and knowing, you know, was advertising and you could see with advertising, you could see, okay, you know, here's how many people watched our show and that gave this sort of leverage that you could say, well, our show is kicking butt and we can now, you know, we can now try and get more money for the show for the actors and everything. But with streaming, all that information is proprietary. They don't need to give it to you. They don't need it. They don't need to say how well your shows are doing. Wow, so it completely eliminated any leverage on the artists and we're in this. How can they do that? Because they just did it because they own, they, they have all their data and they don't need to share it because legally, they don't need to. So it's changed the industry so much and now they're contracting because ultimately, all the investment that they put in, which, you know, Silicon Valley does, they put in all this investment for their, and it didn't

pay off. I mean, it didn't, the streaming model isn't as profitable as we had hoped. So now, we're all sitting around being like, oh, what's next? You know, and, but how is the streaming model not as profitable as people thought with the amounts of money they're spending, yeah, with the NBA and the NFL for, you know, third prime games and things like that. Yeah, I mean, I think they're, you, the sports and reality stuff is really expanding in big time. But, you know, maybe because of that in terms of the more original content isn't, isn't doing what it needs to. Ask the teenagers, you know, what, what shows are you watching? What, what, you know, what are you sitting on watching? Are you sitting on watching full TV shows and movies and most of them will play it? Well, I'm watching other people play video games for eight, nine hours a day. Oh, the Twitch fan. Yeah. And watching YouTube and things are changing. So we're trying to, Holly was trying to change with it. My, we're going to land the plane with in the lab.org momentarily. But, um, my favorite role of yours all time was when you played Jack's Teller in Sons of Anarchy.

I always loved that one. I mean, a full circle. I mean, riding the, the way you run the motorcycle, the end of it with the truck and everything. I wasn't on that. Oh, it was late. Yeah. If someone rolls up though, and there is one of those moments, the mistake, uh, do you correct them or do you just go with it? I mean, it's never happened. I'm for me. You know, anybody, any actor that gets upset, I do get people still come up and want, you know, autographs and pictures and stuff. And it's always such a joy. It's like, wow, you like what I do. That's awesome. This feels great. I don't, I never understood actors that are like, please leave me be. I'm, you know, I mean, when you get super, super famous, I understand. Hey, can I bring up, I have a thought about Viking stuff I wanted to throw out in the lab.org. Yeah. Uh, go to the website for the artist in you or in your family, Adams behind this. It's going to be unbelievable. Limited to 10 actors per session. Thank you. It's for adults and separate classes, I believe for those 14 to 18 correct. Yes. So it, it lastly here, uh, if some, if, if some of them with, uh, with the, with the, in the lab

sessions and, and training to be on the silver screen, uh, et cetera with Adam, really clicks. If they knock it out of the park, would you represent them on the spot and segway to that game? Well, I mean, I, I really do, there are no rolls in there and just kills it and you're like, who knew? And then you got to sign him up to team Bartley so you can get more mailbox money. Start a management agency company. Yeah. No, I mean, I, you know, I, I would, it would not be past me to recommend, you know, great actors that have real chance here to agents or people I know in LA. Why wouldn't I? Yeah. If they have an opportunity. Okay. Anything else within the lab? We need to know. No, I mean, I'm just a March date. That's key. It's may, may, may second. I thought it was if you sign up mid March or something. Oh, I have an introductory, uh, early bird offer until March 15th. Yeah. Exactly. And then, and then the price, how come I know more about the website than you? I need a staff and your number one on the list. Go off, obetically, maybe five weeks, six weeks away from needing the money.

May, well, May 2nd through 17th. Um, it's already half full, which is exciting. And so, yeah, people, it's, I've only launched it a week ago. It's going to fill up. So grab your spot when you can. If you can, uh, tell people, tell actors, I really want, I'm trying to fill this class up with, uh, students and get the word out. I'm starting to call high school. I love that. Call drama teachers and, and let them know what I'm doing. So, uh, Vikings nonstop in the final segment, which is around the corner. But, uh, let me, let me, and, uh, this part of the equation like this. And I, and I hope it's an answerable question. How does one get into character? Well, that's interesting. Um, well, ultimately, especially for, you know, on camera work, you know, the, the character, in quotations, is you. You know, it's, it's about the process is about, you know, you're the, the unis, the things that make you you and who you are and what makes you tick and what, what, how you process something naturally, the elements of you that also align with the character on the page that you're reading, sort of, that's what comes out. You know, I think

it's, uh, it's finding ways to connect and empathize with the character and have a real understanding for where they're coming from, what they want, what they need. And in just the empathizing with it, you then, you know, so then, then it comes out through you and you wanted to come out through you and your uniqueness and the way in which you, you live and breathe and go through the world. I mean, we have these, um, but we all play different characters. We're different with our mom, we're different with our, you know, relationships, we're different with people at work. We're all playing different characters, but you just don't know it. The hardest thing is when the cameras are on you and you, you know, you're being watched and you know, you're have focus on you. The hardest thing is to be unequivocally yourself in and trust that even in your smallness, your most insignificant, just sitting and listening, that it's, it's interesting enough, and that it's worthy of people's attention. That's hard. Leonardo DiCaprio, Wolf of Wall Street, was he in that? Oh, yeah. Okay. Now here, now here's why I asked that question, because when I was writing this yesterday and just like searching for Adam Bartley, doppelganger, stuff like that,

I came across a clip, a, I think it was a YouTube short of somebody being like, look at Leonardo DiCaprio, get in character here. And it was behind the scene shot from Wolf of Wall Street. And he has this head down a little bit. Then you hear the, whatever. And he picks it up and just kills it. Yeah. So he went from just like normal thinking about something like, okay, three, two, boom, it was him, but it was, but it was the role. Yeah. It was the getting into character piece. It was, it was a masterpiece. I know the clip you're talking about. And I mean, that's pretty standard. You know, I mean, that's, that's pretty across the board for it. I trained and, you know, with a guy that was his acting coach for a long time. I did a workshop with him in LA years ago. And, you know, it's, it's all the same kind of stuff coming from the same field of study, which is your, it's called packing. You got to pack your bags. And if you're in a scene where you're running around, like trying to amp everybody up and get them to sell, sell, sell, like he was in that scene. Yeah. You're, he's packing. That was the scene. Yeah. I know he's piece packing inside. He's,

he's, he's going over his work and his, his preparation and he's, and he's making sure in his head, he's probably going, all right, you're going to get in there and you're going to tell him this, you're going to come this, that's what he's doing. So that as soon as we, we had go, he's energetically and spiritually and physically in that, in that modality. Adam Bartley, Minnesotan, an actor in the lab.org.

Apple Podcast, or wherever you get your podcasts. In 2023, a story gripped the UK, evoking horror and disbelief. A nurse who should have been in charge of caring for tiny babies is now the most prolific child killer in modern British history. Everyone thought they knew how it ended. A verdict, a villain, a nurse named Lucy Leppie. Lucy Leppie has been found guilty. But what if we didn't get the whole story? The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapses. I'm Amanda Knox, and in the new podcast Doubt, the case of Lucy Leppie, we follow the evidence and hear from the people that lived it. To ask what really happened when the world decided who Lucy Leppie was. No voicing of any skepticism or doubt. It'll cause so much harm at every single level of the British establishment of this is wrong. Listen to Doubt, the case of Lucy Leppie on the I Heart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you

It is indeed all presented by James Hardy, the number one brand of siding in North America. That's beautiful. Just like Adam Bartley, actor and Minnesota Adam Bartley for

a couple of minutes. Vikings fan too. Been a lot of jacks teller this. Woody Arles and that. Holly with this even prairie high school that you you have something on your mind involving your favorite football team. What is it? Well, I'm going to share. First before I start, I just have to shout out to my brethren of Valhalla, my buddies who are just so they're listening and we are on text thread all year long, constantly arguing, debating, sometimes viciously getting into it. You know, Kirk was a big subject for us for a long time of lots of, you know, I thought maybe we might lose a few of these friends based on which one of your friends incessantly is like, O'Connell doesn't run enough. Well, there's always those in a group chat. Yeah, Jason probably. Yeah, no, there's, there's that. But really, the quarterback has been a real cause for conjecture for a long time. And I have the thought that for me, my life is about story. Why I love the Vikings, why I love sports, why I follow this team so intently as the story,

right? We're watching a story. Everybody's watching a kind of story and there's updates on the story. There's little elements and different things. I, well, this is like chapter 68 or 69. We still have no happy ending. And there never will be hopefully ending. That's part of it. We know there won't be an ending. It just keeps going. But like, you know, you have to look at the story of, of Kirk and the time he had here and how successful we were in our season. And then in the playoffs, not so much. We got a change fan. I can feel it coming. No, no, no, no, no. What I'm saying is frame, darn old's year and us dumping, not dumping, us moving on from him are letting Seattle take him. I should say is the appropriate thing. You can't frame that decision without the story of Kirk before one thing leads to the other. If he had no good quarterback, the kill these dobs, darn old. That's right. That's right. But letting go. I can see I'm playing Clint Kubiak in the movies. I think he's trying to become Brazinski's right hand man. Keep going. No, I'm just saying that I just think here's, here's my take on the McCarthy situation.

I think we all saw moments with him and you know, heard Brazinski talk about McCarthy and about how everybody's been pretty harsh on him. You know, you talked about earlier in the show. I think that is true, but also let's just, let me just frame it this way. If I could write a Hollywood film script about, you know, if I could write, I could not write a first act any better than the dumpster fire of media coverage and situation of McCarthy's first sort of year of playing. Yep. I mean, just a disaster in every way. So you've got to come back story here and you're mind don't you? I mean, if you want to set up, if you want to set up, and this kid is like he, he's straight, he like is full of spirit and he has that kind of movie going on all the time, sometimes maybe when he shouldn't, but yeah, but like he is in tapped into that kind of flow and vibe. And all I'm saying is that you don't, he doesn't need to create a movie in his mind to come out and ball. He didn't need it. He's all you got to do is just think about what happened last year. It's a perfect setup for these storytellers for him to come out and do something.

I'm just saying it's on the table. He's got to stay healthy, but it's on the table that people could be absolutely flawed. And I'm here for it. I want to see it. If he gets, if you know, if he isn't, you know, if somebody else isn't starting over him, he has a shot, I think, to shut everybody up in maybe one of the biggest ways we've ever seen here. And boy, it would not be a story. It's all I'm saying. There is acting immortality. And I'm going to say God rest his soul because he would probably be a hundred plus if he was in debt. Nick named the Duke. Oh, yeah. John Wayne. Oh, yeah, I know his grandson. Pity the fools who told John Wayne all the way until he was like age 29 to 31. You don't fit. You don't fit. Yeah. And then he became the Duke. The Duke. The Duke was on fire. They gave up on John Wayne. And he's John Wayne. Don't give up on the kid, right? Yeah. And then he basically just owned Hollywood for about two decades. He and Gene Autry never paid for any meals out there, man. Yeah. I'm just saying, I mean, I, I, the kids got something in there and we've seen it.

And the question is, can he, you know, can he technically catch up? You know, we saw, people don't really remember Josh Allen's first year. They don't even think about it, but it wasn't great. You know, it was great at US Bank Stadium when they were 16 and a half point underdogs and he ran over everybody. He was hurtling Anthony Barr. Unfortunately, I do remember that. Yeah. In the lab.org for the is actor and actress still acceptable. Of course, it have to be hard. Oh, it's acceptable. All right. If you have emerging actors or actresses or artists in your home and they dreamed to get on the silver screen and they got skills in the lab.org in the lab.org. Love you, brother. Good to see you.

Evidence has been made so fast. The moment you look at the whole picture, the case collapsed. What if the truth was disguised by a story we chose to believe? Oh my god. I think she might be innocent.
