I just wanted to say I'm a big fan and thank you for getting me on the show I just wanted to ask one thing can I get a shotgun vision from you Nick? I don't oh come on man I'll give it to you in person how about in Orlando alright sweet if you ever come around to Orlando my band's called Out Go The Lights so if you have any time we have a record called Sun and we're only seniors in high school so if you have any you guys have any time we're Out Go The Lights from Orlando, Florida alright man thank you Out Go The Lights Out Go The Alex that's right man uh that's you got some love you got some worldwide love bro is Orlando considered worldwide? yeah Magic Kingdom's there you're from where are you from? can we get a call from China please? mm-hmm let's put Ryan from Maryland on the air we gotta we gotta need we need a call from China please so that we can prove that Nick is worldwide but obviously he is when my friend moves to China six months from now she'll call we're in the middle of the SAG action Marshall's the next caller on the line there yo our next caller is for Peter Scott but right now let's talk to Ryan from Maryland real quick is he on? what he hung up? alright some people just don't have the patience but we got somebody that wants to talk to Peter Scott and his name is Marsh Furs maybe it's a her what's up her? this is Marsha Furs oh Marsha Furs uh huh that makes sense and I have a question which is kind of a merger question how do you convince a casting director to see an actor that the CD does not know or doesn't think that maybe she is right for the part but you know that she's right for the part and you're not you're not you're not you know that she's right so how do you merge the actress to the part? there you go it's a doozy it's a good question yeah I know it is a good question and uh I think it just depends on the actress it depends on the CD and it depends on uh CD stands for casting director oh yeah casting director and uh compactus who by the way is not always the first and last word on who gets seen that's something I think is a little bit misunderstood by people out there um the executive producer or the singer or the studio the network the director a lot of the casting director answers to a lot of people so uh one of the ways is if you know uh that person who has hired the casting director uh you can muscle it in that way and try to get uh the casting uh director to see someone based on a relationship that you have with somebody above the casting director um so that's one answer uh maybe a little boring but it's you know it's one way you can do it and uh again you're gonna hear the answer that sort of is true in all ways but it's you know it's one way you can do it and it's true in all business it's it boils down to relationships uh to some degree if you have a solid relationship and the person trusts you sort of implicitly and if they have time in the day to take to meet somebody new because you know everyone has a busy day um if they feel like they can um take the time to meet someone new and take sort of a gamble on that time they're giving away uh then then you can usually get them that opportunity uh but you wanna make it count you don't wanna just call somebody who who wants to do you a favor from time to time uh for anything it has to be a really good fit a really good marriage between the actor and the role and makes sense when you pitch them uh otherwise you're just crying wolf calling for everybody and anyone for anything uh so you gotta you gotta you know play your ace when the right time is to play it and and uh hopefully that'll benefit the the actor and the casting director will be happy you made the call word so basically have a good manager word to finagle yourself in there yeah cause actors can't just be like hey uh you know quiet that motif yo quiet that modello box down bro yeah i uh i just got back from 7-11 i come bearing gifts press in thalandroma ladies and gentlemen modello he's brought some stuff from our sponsor modello my parents taught me to share so i like that we're ordering a pizza right now verbis is in the studio now ladies and gentlemen in case you were concerned alejandro okana is chillin out in the lobby with uh elos they're sitting next to each other on the couch lookin like why do you have to be mentioning our names right now leave his life his life his life his life his life his life his life his life his life his life his life his life his life his life his life his life that are being hired for their opinion. But they are being hired by someone. They're not, you know, they're not running the film. So, you know, just imagine, I mean, if Spielberg wants somebody in his movie, is it going to be the casting director's choice or Steven Spielberg's choice? I mean, the answer is obvious. And by the way, nobody gave me a Modelo. Yeah, me neither. Oh, shit. You know, I'm just saying. It's because you guys look uptight. It's because you guys look uptight. Especially you, Marie. You look really uptight, yeah. Dude. Okay, we're going to move on to our next caller, Marcia. But Marcia, we love you. Thank you, Marcia. The Jake Gallagher program. Are those gummy bears? We love you. Oh, dude. Bring some sugar to this party. I got one more call before I submit Peter to his final series of questions. Let's find out what Ryan from Maryland wants from us. Ryan from Maryland? Nick. Nick? What? Oh, oh. Your name's Ryan. Ryan. Nick. Yeah, I know. I'm assuming. Yes. What's up, man? Not much, man. What's up with you? I'm just chilling. Sound out of breath. What's up on your mat right now? He's a real big fan of you. Cool. Did you just run up the street or staircase before you called? He's been here a while. He drove over. Yeah. Sound out of breath. Hey, Nick. Hey, what are you guys doing? Nothing. I don't know if I'm supposed to ask a question or something. I mean, how often? You know his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his his We're going to be in Baltimore on the 23rd, I think. I've been planning on going to that show. Where is it? The 930 Club, I think? Or the Black Cat? No, I don't know. Oh, wait. The Baltimore. Didn't you say you were in Baltimore? I called my son's house. We had to go. He said he didn't really want to, and then I sent him the song, a Mr. Heavenly song, and then he said, okay, yeah, we're going. He didn't want to until I sent him that song. Oh, great. I remember looking through his old stuff. He's really into islands, or he was back in the day, but I guess he is now. Peter Scott, is this making you want to listen to Nick's music? Yeah. I'll listen to anybody's music. I got I Am An Addict the other day. God bless you. I streamed your new album. I like to listen to that album in the cellar. Yeah. It was a big cellar. I don't have an attic, but... Dude, you just won the pun contest. Dude, you could do rap battles right there. I have an attic. It was a big cellar. Damn. Ryan, we're short on time, so I want you to ask a succinct and concise question of Nick, the legend of From Islands. Okay. Four Burns Last Diamond. Four Burns Last Diamond. I don't know what to ask. Now I'm on the spot. I don't know what to ask. We're all on the spot right now. It's okay, man. You don't have to ask a question. Maybe I'll see you in a couple weeks. Yeah, I hope so. Are you going to tour with Gregory Pepper again? No, but he's great, isn't he? Yeah, he is. I sort of got the back way. I got into you through him. Through the back door. I've been really into Gregory Pepper lately. Oh, wow. Great, man. Yeah. Everyone should listen to him. He's a very underrated Canadian. Hey, man, this is Ryan again. Quick question. All right, let's do this. Okay, okay. So me and Matt, we're making music. We're doing all that. He's asking for permission to ask the question. Quick question. It's okay, Nick. No, but for real, I don't know, man. You write stuff, and you think it's good. Do you have that same self-doubt, even on your stuff now, after being an accomplished musician, or whatever? Now that you have a Maybach. Yeah. Do you still feel self-doubt? It's a nice car. Yeah, I do, of course. I think every artist should. That keeps you in check. That keeps you making good music. Once you think you've got it figured out, you start making crap. Yeah, I think every artist worth their salt always has an ounce of self-doubt. And you should always. If I were, I would get that tattooed on me. It's already tattooed on you. Every artist that... Chris French did it when you weren't looking last week. It's kind of a long tattoo. Ryan, we've got to move on to the next call, but thank you for calling. Thank you for listening. Well, hey, I'm going to go get that tattoo. Get that tattoo. Take it easy. All right, bye, guys. Every artist that's worth his salt has an ounce of self-doubt, or something like that. Whatever. Do it in Italian. Dude, you're a lot more poetic than me. We need a poetic host on here. I was just off the dome, man. I know. I know. I've got a lot of respect for your dome at this point. No. No dome. No dome. No dome. No dome. No dome. Look at fucking Elos laughing out of the waiting room. Like, okay, Jake. Save yourself for somebody else. We're going to put Amelia on the air because I know she has a question for Peter Scott from Torque. Amelia. Yes. Do you have a question for the most powerful manager in Hollywood, Peter Scott? I do, Peter Scott. This is Amelia Rose. Hey, Amelia. And I am not able to listen live yet, so I apologize if this question has already been asked. But I am curious about with the SAG-AFTRA merger. I can see a lot of the major benefits for people who are AFTRA who aren't SAG, being that they would be kind of grandfathered into SAG, and I'm wondering if you could discuss some of the major benefits, some of the major benefits for those who are already SAG and AFTRA, and why these unions coming together is going to be something you see as a positive or negative in the future. All right. Well, I think I can answer the question a little bit, or at least broadly, but I'll just start by saying that any answer I give is going to put everybody else who loves this show to sleep. So, you know, I'll try to. It's going to be too in-depth. Yeah, yeah. I'm putting your card in my bra right now, Peter Scott. What? Only the bra. Okay, so, well, anyway. Sorry. Modelo. So, anyway, back to the question at hand. Yes, you're right. AFTRA members are really good. If you're AFTRA and not SAG, or you are AFTRA eligible and not SAG, you're really going to benefit because you'll be able to pay $1,600 and be able to basically join both unions if they merge. Right. But if you're in your situation, it sounds like you're SAG or SAG and AFTRA already, and how are you going to benefit from this? Right. From this wonderful merger. Exactly. And the answer is, you know, people are concerned about their pensions. They're concerned about their, you know, residual issues. And historically, AFTRA hasn't really paid as much in residuals as SAG members. And, you know, a lot of people are going to be worried that they're going to get shafted in this whole deal. But in my personal opinion, even if in the short term a SAG person doesn't benefit tremendously, and there's going to be a flood of people joining the joint union because of the sort of incentive that's put in place in the union. That's where my L.A. is. That's where my elbow, that's my elbow. The joint union. The joint union? Yeah. Yeah. Whew, at least the caller thinks I'm funny. Yeah. No, no, I think that's pretty funny. But now I can't remember the question anymore. It just sounds like things are getting kind of dirty there. There's like a card and a bra and elbows getting dirty. I don't know your type. I've got to go to weird places. And we're drinking Medela. Oh, boy. And, yeah, and if, and... Product placement. And so anyway, what I will say... Product placement. The short answer is basically in the long run, collective bargaining is going to allow for actors in general to get more of everything. And right now, the two unions are split in half, and the broadcasters and networks and everyone else is driving a wedge between them, and that wedge will be gone when they merge. So it may take years and years of collective bargaining and negotiations, but ultimately, all ships will rise. And that's why it's a good thing, in my opinion. Not for the producer. The producer's going to pay more. Oh. You know everything, Peter Scott. Oh. I just want to interject. He's a knowledgeable man. I just want to interject and say that this Medela that we're drinking is delicious and refreshing. And how come you got the... How come you have the phony and we're all stuck with these 12-ounce... Amelia... I know, he got a big one. What does that mean? He's got people calling him from Florida and Maryland. He can have a bigger beer. I think if we had some Doritos for... Ugh. Potato chips or any Frito-Lay brand. We're going to get you a pizza, bro. Pizza. Pizza. And a throw. Hopefully it's from Domino's. That's... It sounds fun there. It is fun. Product placement, not from Garage Pizza. I know. And a throw. All right. We're having a lot of fun over here, Amelia. Thanks, Amelia. By the way, if you want to stay in contact with Peter Scott, he is available on Facebook. He's not invisible or anything. So I can stalk him? Yeah, you can totally stalk him. Of course, there's a lot of people named Peter Scott. He's the handsome one. Right. Oh, okay. Okay. Is that why he's on the radio? Face for radio. Yes. You can stalk him. You can stalk him. You can stalk him. Yeah. You can audition to be a co-host if you want. That's some snappy material. She has a beautiful voice. I like how she's kind of jealous. Yeah. You got a voiceover agent yet? You do have a beautiful voice, Amelia. Oh, well, thank you so much. All right. We're going to let you go. Go to torqentertainment.com. That's... Oh, she's not live, is she? Anyway, it's torq-entertainment. So that's T-O-R-Q-U-E-dash-entertainment.com. One last question before we get into Always Prolific's set. Here's a question that I don't think you know the answer to, Peter, but it's the question that I'm concerned about. Okay. Are they going to change the rules on Financial Core when they join the two unions together? You're right. I don't know the answer to it but my hunch is yes. Yeah. I think that goes away. Does that mean we're screwed? I'm going to call SAG tomorrow and ask them that. It could mean if people were Financial Core, they'd be screwed but... Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't. Lord knows that people who love the union don't like people that are financial core sometimes, because they feel that they weaken the union. Others, however, feel that financial core is a smart option that allows one to earn more money while playing the field. So it will be interesting to find out what the status is with financial core. But I'm going to call SAG and find that out. Just the last thing I'll say is right in front of me, I printed out both the merger agreement and the constitution. Are you going to read that for us? All 80 pages of this nonsense. So I got to say, like, there's a lot of information out there. If you go to, like, say, DeadlineHollywood.com. They emailed it to me. They emailed it to you. Yeah, yeah. So most actors will have it. But if you're just, like, some weirdo who's curious. Did you say DeadlineHollywood.com? DeadlineHollywood.com. They have it all right there. Lots of information about it. So all the answers I didn't answer tonight, there's one source. All right. Well, we're going to get into a set from Always Prolific of E! Super and Hellfire Club. Check out the show. Continue at Skid Row Studios.com and call in. At 1-800-893-9562. It's the Jake Gallagher Program. We're off now. We'll be right back. We'll be right back. We'll be right back.
