TOTAL SCHMIDT SHOW

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

How lucky am I to get Chas for a third time? How lucky am I that the episode came out good for the second?? 

Recorded the "Thirsty Cougar" in Cozumel Mexico... Chas and I get deep about performing stand-up. From the advice he got from Jay Leno, to things we've learned ourselves the hard way.... We talk quite a bit about putting together a live theater stand-up show. Structure, pacing, and reading the room. All covered here. Chas also clues us in to his very own podcast that he's been working on. A consummate, funny guy, and a great performer, Chas is always a great guest.

AlmostEltonJohn.com -- Any idea What this show would be about....? 

While on the Celebrity Apex I got to see Craig A Meyer do his :remember When Rock was Young" show. A fantastic tribute to Elton John. An amazing show. Fun, energetic.. Craig crushes it. He was nice enough to hang out and talk a bit.

A professional entertainer/performer/actor.... too many words can describe what Craig has been doing for nearly forty years. He's worked on TV, film, in Vegas. It's not just something he does, he's turned himself in to a business and a brand. I really love talking to seasoned professionals that take entertainment seriously. He knows it's a business and knows how to work it. So much so that he has stepped uop to help others take their careers to another level. He helped develop Askmoe.app. A program that other performers can utilize. Something to help answer every question from "How much do I charge?' or "What do I need to put in a contract to protect myself?" Steps that can be quite challenging to any entertainer. 

Craig is a great talent, great guy, and this was a great podcast. 

You be the judge.

All the way from Vegas, Baby!!

Did a crossing with Sam Holder.... who was on board with "December '63", a Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons tribute show. This is a shorter episode because, well, we we're having trouble finding a good place to sit down and record. However, we got into alot. Sam is a smart cat and a seasoned professional. Got to get in and breakdown a lot of what going on in the music biz these days. He really knows his stuff. It was great to talk to him. Wish we had more time. Sam also has three of his own Guest Entertainer shows. "Sam sings the Sam's" is a great hook. 

Sam spends more time in Vegas than on the sea. We discuss the cool supportive part of the Vegas scene. Has his hands in quite a few shows. Even nominated for stage awards. He's probably to good for this show. Either way, I suggest you go see him.

Also, please note the drastic improvement in sound quality. 

You're Welcome.

From Boston by way of Canada.. Is that right? She's a Boston girl who lives up north. A woman with a powerful voice and great stage presence. When she's not touring the world and the high seas belting out to her sold-out shows, she's writing, producing and working with some of the biggest names in music. She did a cover/remix of a RuPaul's "Sissy that Walk" that got her attention. The rest is history. 

Also, funny. Forgot how funny until I finished editing. So cool to hang with her for a while. Hell, we're having dinner tomorrow. 

You're Welcome.

"Total Schmidt Show" (3TSS108) with Peter Cumins. All the way from Australia!  Worked together on a Trans-Atlantic crossing. Here we talk about that and show planning for a long cruise with several other entertainers. It's a little more involved than you think.

Peter was in "You've got a friend" with last week's guest, evan Jay Newman. Peter is a seasoned pro. Fully embraces his time on ships. Takes full advantage of being on stage, and it shows. Very clever and knowledgeable when it comes to putting together a show.... and delivers every night. I saw him in 3 different shows. Always a pleasure to work with a pro.

We're back to full power.

3TSS107 features Evan Jay Newman. We met on the Celebrity Constellation during a crossing.  Evan is a singer with amazing vocal range. Saw him in his own solo, as well as the show "You've got a friend."  He's also played Frankie Valli in "Jersey Boys"... featured in Les Miserables as a child..... and hundreds of other live performance. His solo show was great. "You've got a friend." was great, our discussion was great. It was a pleasure sitting down and talking with one who has so much talent in so many areas.

"Total Schmidt Show" Season Three / Episode One is an Audio only episode with Lucas Simpson this week. However, there's is a video of him performing "Thunderstruck" on the NCL Bliss. It's a pretty cool story. A group of New Yorkers asked him to play it every night of the seven day cruise. He had never payed it. he learned it and played it the last night. See the video here: https://youtu.be/Q-nNdaX_yqI

Lucas is an amazing musician. He plays everything. A great example of a working musician. Solo stuff, piano bar... The video is fun to watch. The coversation was great as well. I also found out he was on "American Ninja Warrior"...... Whaaaaat?
