What brings you here today at the Tropicana just to let people see how good I look that’s all and besides that’s it, man.

I keep telling them don’t eat the white ones. They goo you up eat black, jelly beans and what have you got going on obviously you’re still staying busy. We got Super Bowl week coming up in our neck of the woods. Yeah, but that’s another life, you know, I don’t really follow football anymore football has changed so much that it’s boring to me now. The guys pockets are so heavy. They got so much money in their pockets. They can’t play football anymore. They play titly wink. So pretty soon, probably the next couple years. It’s going to be flag football, but my projects are I did one in Berlin Germany called Atomic Eden I did one in Montreal called Billy trigger.

I did one in Phoenix called 5357 and I’m getting ready to do a sequel to original gangsters called Old School gangsters and of course. This is the Action Martial Arts Hall of Fame weekend. How did Martial arts come into your life. Well, I started studying Martial arts and I playing pro football, I studied with Aaron banks for five years. I studied with Emil fargus for 5 years I have two black belts, but I did. It just to stay in shape cuz I didn’t like the funky smell of a jock ridden locker room. So I went outside, man and started studying Martial arts to stay in shape.

So, I didn’t like the locker room thing. So I never knew that I was going to be able to use it as a filmmaker? Cuz I was never interested in the film thing. I’m I Was An Architect, I’m an egghe head and a body in the same jock. I graduated from Northwestern University as an architect and engineer who just happened to play football very nice. What a crazy story. Awesome story now. We are in Atlantic City. You doing your thing here, but have you had a chance to win or lose some money yet, it comes too hard dude it comes too hard to lay it on the table, you know, the little money that I’ve made selling pictures.

Here, I might just go out and lay it on the table just to be nice to Jersey City and thank them for welcoming me. So well here. So, I might leave 20 or $40 on the table out there for him now we’re here in the Northeast suffering from the cold after this awesome weekend. Can you tell everybody where you’re going to be Palm Springs today is 85° in Palm Springs California. I will be there. I have not been outside since I’ve been here I am not going outside except to the airport smart man. So I guess you’re not going to the Super Bowl is in Phoenix next year, dude.
