Some insight on the life of a Massive Monkee
Watch out
Brysen trusts me with his life, and we just did this photo to scare the coosh legal team.
When we went to Kochi, Japan it was big news. We had the best week of our career on that trip.
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.

Acting Lessons
It was the first time on a commercial shoot like that for me when the whole crew was there. Damn its tedious work though. Four long days, but all worth it. I saw the final product and was proud of our accomplishment. The jokes came off funny, anybody who don't know about us as a crew, well that's us. The fish thing, when Juse is poppin is my favorite part and then he slapped the Scientist and that had me crackin up. Pretty much the whole thing did. I looked better than I thought since I don't consider myself photogenic. Gotta get some acting lessons. I use the coosh everyday; they are the best headphones I ever used. At home I dance in the living room. I don't have the problem of knocking the headsets out anymore thanks to those Scientists at coosh. After half an hour the other ones would be killing my ears and they kept falling out. These are comfortable and that makes a difference in how long I can train like that.

No, My Car!
I had hella fun on those viral videos. My arms was hurtin after they broke those pipes, had to rest them for a few days even though the pipes were already cut. It still bruised a little. My car got blasted on too! In the video Brysen says "my car" but he didn't want his windshield busted up. I was down to let Juse smack it because this is my work car. So everybody out there: That's the lazy integra right there for the world to see. Nobody else was down to do it with their car. Using the coosh headset has been coo, it has been staying on my ears tight when I go jogging. I'm trying to get fit so some of my homies jog with me. They need cooshs too. I don't use anything else besides coosh, seriously. I don't have the iPhone but I hook it up to an old CD player and be rockin it. I do some crazy power moves when I break; I can go all out and it don't come off. That surprised me.

Suspense is Killing Me
It was a funny experience to do those video shoots. I got in character, played it really cheesy and went over the top, over exaggerated even. It has a hand held video camera look, and that helps since it was a parody. It reminded me of Naked Gun movies and Hot Shots. Our humor can be exclusive to us, but this hopefully comes across to all the people that see it. We are excited about the launch and announcing the collaboration. I wanna see what other people think. The suspense is killing me. We have an official sponsor now, and they support what we do and pay us for being good at what we do. I'm not getting up thinking about what I'm gonna do today to make money, I'm think about being good at dancing. That's how I'm paying the bills and the health care. Doing crazy stunts and I got a daughter - I gotta have that. Most of my practices are with a stereo. I use the coosh on long travel. Planes, trains and all the wild ways I get to these spots around the world that I usually haven't been to yet. My car and house are wired for stereo so I keep it on ice at home. It's hard to explain but it has an invisible feeling to it, like its not even there.
