Some insight on the life of a Massive Monkee

Hands-Free

Some of our experience in front of the camera helped, but we ain't professionals. We didn't have to do too much acting thankfully. It was another week with the crew that I will remember forever, and by my standards it was good enough. We went way off script sometimes and some great footage didn't even make it in to the edits the world will see. The behind the scenes parts were my favorite. I thought the armbar routine was gonna be corny, the one at the end when the guys get old. We also put too much powder in the bottles and it looks like an explosion. The powder is so it doesn't leave shards in the skin when we break the glass, one of the producers went crazy with the powder to make sure we didn't hurt ourselves, and it ended up with clouds when they broke. I loved throwing papers in the face of the BIC VIP too when I was breaking on a conference table, it didn't even make it in though! I wasn't gonna break my neck too for the record even if Twixx didn't grab my leg. You saw the hands were down, but I still owe him my life. I took the coosh on my vacation, been gone for 10 days. It's really stretched out from all the head slides I had to do while we were shooting. I use it for calls mostly. I have to use it when I drive because in Seattle they have the hands-free law now.
