This week on Yes But Why, I interviewed writer and actor, Pete Parsons.

Pete Parsons is an entertainer who currently lives in Austin Texas. A graduate of The Theater School at DePaul University, Pete learned the most about what it takes to be an artist from the Chicago improv theaters and their classes and communities. These days, you can catch him at the Fallout Theater in downtown Austin. Every Saturday night there, you can see Pete hosting Pioneers, an improv show that features a new cast of improvisers each week.

In our conversation, we talk about how living a theatrical life was a forgone conclusion in Pete’s mind. Even from a very young age, he knew that he would be a performer. And luckily, he grew up in a town with a pretty amazing children’s theater. So Pete has been onstage for his whole life.

We talk about the pandemic and how all the chaos really sapped Pete’s creativity. There was just so much going on. Some people really dug into online content creation but that’s not Pete’s thing. (That is not to say that he doesn’t curate some pretty fun Instagram accounts: @littlehighbear and @wowsecretmountain.) But onstage is the place to be and so when Fallout reopened, Pete jumped at the chance to host Pioneers.

I know how it can be. Hosting a show is just enough action to keep your mind busy. Pete expressed to me that he's still very much in the midst of figuring out where his career will take him. We talk about options. We discuss ideas. Pete is a great artist and he has reinvented himself before and when he decides what his next big thing will be, I am sure it will be glorious.

Pete is a really cool dude.

In the press kit he sent me, this is what he sent about supporting him: “If you would like to support Pete Parsons, check out Pioneers or his comic "Little High Bear" but if you want to have a bigger impact, donate to The Innocence Project.” Awesome.

Pete also sent links to his upcoming shows and you should check them out because he is MAGIC onstage!

In this episode of the Curious Realm host Christopher Jordan welcomes researcher, chairman and co-founder of the OPUS – the Organization for Paranormal Understanding and Support. A non-profit foundation whose stated mission is to educate and support people having unusual /anomalous personal experiences. Such experiences may include extraordinary states of consciousness, spiritual or parapsychological phenomenon, close encounters with non-human entities, and/or UFO activity. What do these experiences mean to the greater whole of humanity and what can we learn from studying them?
In the second part of the episode, we are joined by author and researcher Daniel Alan Jones of The Vortex, to discuss the impact of the recent image captured by the mast camera of the Mars rover showing what appears to be an entrance carved in a cliff face. What kind of stir has this image caused in UFO/UAP disclosure communities. What does it mean being released as the US Senate prepares for the first open hearing on UAPs? Is the image proof of life on the distant red planet as some claim or just a physical defect in the rock face?

This week on Yes But Why, I interviewed emcee/beatboxer, David “BS” Bradshaw about his love for performing freestyle rap and teaching workshops.

David "BS" Bradshaw has been emceeing and beatboxing in NYC for the past decade. His primary focus the last five years has been refining his craft as an artist- educator and programming specialist.

He has toured regionally, performed at the Apollo, been featured on BET's 106&Park, and The Today Show. He’s collaborated on hip-hop based team-building and professional development seminars with entities like Facebook, Nikon, Toyota, the Museum of Street Art, BMW Foundation, Carnegie Hall, and Lavelle School for the Blind.

BS is a BEAT Global T3 certified instructor with background as a Spanish Dual Language teacher. He currently facilitates workshops for learners of all ages and abilities in freestyle rhyming, songwriting, and beatboxing, including incarcerated youth and special needs populations. You can find BS teaching at Freestyle Love Supreme’s Rap Academy, his own Freestyle Fitness and Beatbox Express workshops, or at a place of warm gathering in your community.

This was such a lovely conversation with BS. He is such a joyful person. We talked about becoming creative out of defiance. BS shared moments in his life when he was forced to face his individualism and when he decided to embrace it rather than give in to the bullies.

David “BS” Bradshaw is an artist that has the kind of charm and determination that will keep him afloat through this creative life. He told me his mother’s mantra, “You win some, you learn some.” And I couldn’t agree more! Having a good attitude through tough times can make all the difference.

BS told me of his recent development as an artist. He had been active in the performing all the time / producing albums lifestyle before the pandemic. But when major changes disrupted this path, BS pivoted and used his skills to develop online classes spreading the joy of freestyle rap to the world. He spoke of his workshop attendees as his friends, his community. BS is building a strong, supportive community with Freestyle Fitness!

Rebecca welcomes Jim Meskimen who is an actor, impressionist, voice artist, narrator, director, designer/cartoonist, and improvisational comedian best known for his work on WHOSE LINE IS IT ANYWAY, IMPRESS ME, and JIMPRESSIONS. Since 2017, he has captured the audience with his voice as Colonel Sanders in the advertising campaign for KFC and is the current voice of Genie from the Disney Aladdin franchise.

Jim's appeared in films such as FROST/NIXON, APOLLO 13, THE PAPER, and VIRAL VIGNETTES and created dozens of characters, weapons, and vehicles for the original "Thundercats" animated series. He is involved with three upcoming productions, including HUNTERS With Al Pacino, Carol Kane & Saul Rubinek), GASLIT (opposite Sean Penn and Julia Roberts / Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VQQSrbSw9M0), and THE BIG DOOR PRIZE.

Jim appeared on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990) for two seasons and has worked with director Ron Howard on five of his films, including The Paper (1994), Apollo 13 (1995), Edtv (1999), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), and Frost/Nixon (2008). He has also worked in two films by director Paul Thomas Anderson. A professional artist, Jim exhibits and sells his realist oil paintings. As a designer/cartoonist, he created dozens of characters, weapons, and vehicles for the original "Thundercats" animated series. Jim continues to dazzle audiences with his improvisational skills and appears regularly on L.A. stages.

Jim helped create laughter during the lockdown, when he joined a stellar cast including Barry Bostwick, Renee Taylor, John Schneider, Lynda Purl, Don Most, Susan Ruttan, Fred Melamed, Jane Kaczmarek, Robert Wuhl, and Audrey Landers, to name a few in the virtual hit series VIRAL VIGNETTES ( Vignettes Trailer: www.vimeo.com/662792409 ), now featured in festivals across the country.

Meskimen is married to actress Tamra Meskimen and they have a daughter, Taylor Meskimen. His mother is Golden Globe and Emmy-nominated actress Marion Ross of Happy Days (1974) and the critically-acclaimed series, Brooklyn Bridge (1991). Jim is also known for playing President George Washington crossing the Delaware Turnpike for Geico (www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zpi0cMQEBbA), which led his mother, Marion Ross (aka Mrs. C on Happy Days) to claim that she is now the mother of the father of our country.

An extraordinary man of expertise and flair!
