TOTAL SCHMIDT SHOW

Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidt

I love street performers.. Buskers...whatever you want to call them. I think it takes a perfect combination of incredible talent. balls, and charm to build a crowd on a street, and keeopm them entertained. Some cities have a great Busker community.. Melbourne, AUS.... NY... Venice Beach, California... I've always been really blown away by that.

I met Quinn Beasley "The Mighty Quinn" a few years ago. A juggler, comedian, busker... ran into him again and decided to have him on the show. Fun show.

Check him out @QuinnComedian

It was the  @celebritycruises  Constellation where I ran in to Gabriel and and Alessandra Nicastro. Gabe's show has everything from close-up magic, to crowd work, to card tricks, to an enourmous breathtaking stunt. It really hits all the levels They are both from Italy. Worked in the circus together before coming out to the ships. It's the story I always love. Performers re-inventing themselves, pushing the limits... MAKING a career out of an idea and passion. It was a great conversation. 

He was gonna be a lawyer..... HA!

After the taping, Alessandra went back to her home in Italy to help with the family business for a while. Gabe takes a short break and then, heads back to sea.

Besides the physical and emotional strain, the financial strain on Rocky and his family has been overwhelming. Rocky set-up a Go Fund Me to help the family.

This weeks episode is a remix/edited version of a "Quarantine Comedy" episode we did during the pandemic. We usuallly push and share the LSCN Patreon, give you Venmo and Cashapp info for you to financially support the channel and the shows. This week, we focused it all on the Toni's Go Fund Me. There's a link below if you would like to help Rockys family out.

A bonus episode!! By bonus, I mean the video files were corrupted. So, no YouTube this time, just a podcast. 

Ryan is exactly the type of artists I thought about when I started TSS. At the time of this recording, Ryan was playing the role of "Frankie" the lead in "Jersey Boys". Lots of insight to what goes on in the life an an actor. From hidden cups of water on the set, proper health and fitness during a show run, working with numerous acting coaches in NY, taping auditions... balancing it all with a new wife.... This is the life of a performer. 

Thanks Ryan
