Episode 79 - Darth Hammertime the Cyborg
When you’re a kid sometimes you think the future will be this crazy, robot infested tech-scape with eye-scanners and personally-targeted advertising like in Minority Report. And then you get a little older and the world still seems a little backwater and pedestrian. But another decade goes by and you find yourself lusting after electric cars with motors that make internal combustion look like an Atari 2600 and before you know it, you’re interviewing a Cyborg on your podcast. A goddamn Cyborg.
Meet Eric Michael Johnson, Unofficial’s first cybernetic lifeform guest. The thirteen inches of fused-steel straightening his otherwise Lombard-esque spinal column makes him more machine than man. Alright he’s still mostly man. Interesting guy too, really funny and he actually experienced a four inch growth spurt in only 8 hours. And for only $260,000. A bargain by today’s cosmetic surgery standards and as a bonus, the 8 hour spinal fusion surgery probably saved his life. A literal silver lining. And of course decent health insurance played a small role. #universalhealthcare. As a kid he also had lordosis and asthma. Add a comically stiff, full back brace his senior year of high school and you have yourself some legit fodder for a decent episode description. Eric lived in 46 states and 13 countries, born on an Airforce base in South Dakota and he makes his own movies. His very first, "White and Nerdy - Michigan Tech Edition” a parody of Weird Al Yankovic’s “White and Nerdy” is still on his Youtube channel, "Darth Hammertime" and has almost 50k views. This guy is just a fun dude to be around, what a cool guest. Oh and he loves 30 Rock, he’s definitely coming back.
Coop&Myan have the coolest job in our Universe, Unofficial is a dream come true and this first year has been like 87% joy. That’s a lot. With a new studio on the Horizon and a real push to be the number one source for exposing the bottomless well of unknown talent in Hollywood, Unofficial is poised on the precipice of unbridled, inimitable success. What does that mean? We really don’t know. But it’s all about the journey, right? Right.
