AN INTERVIEW WITH BRADLEY STRYKER

Listen to the sound file here:

FF: This is Ferreira Fest and I’m going to record this conversation and just wanting to make sure that is okay with you?

Bradley: Absolutely fine.

FF: Let’s start with something simple. Please start by telling us about yourself. Who is Bradley Stryker, what do you do, what is your passion. Tell us about your latest project. The sky’s the limit.

Bradley: Okay, well, okay. Ah, who am I? You know, I am originally from Seattle; I grew up there, then moved down and lived in Southern California for twelve years. I was in college. I went to six different schools in four years before I graduated (laughter). With my time. I ended up graduated from San Diego State, then literally like two days after I finished class, I drove to LA and began my acting career at that point. It actually started about two years earlier when I was nineteen, I was in New York, took my first acting class.

Anyway, so here I am about fifteen years later and still very busy in the acting world, but now, I’ve started making my own films. And that is kind of where my passion is now. I spend most of my days writing. I have six, seven feature scripts that I juggle back and forth between…

FF: OMG, seven? Right now?

Bradley: Yeah, it’s not … (laughter), yeah.  And this is the ones that have made it through the gauntlet. I’ve actually written more than that, but a few of them end up in the garage shredder. I should say the recycle. Just because the idea is, the idea is there, but  just something doesn’t work. So I end up having to start over. The more education I get, the more I … you know, it’s a process. It’s like being an actor.

I wrote my first script like about six, no, … seven years ago. But then it was just kinda on and off and in the last three years have been just solid writing. So it’s been a lot of time in coffee shops, a lot of learning, a lot of banging my head against the wall. You know, all that fun stuff.

I’ve now made four short films, finished three of them and I’m in post production on the fourth. The one I did with Louis was the first one; A Weekend to Remember. Which was, it was good. You always learn the most on your first one. If nothing else, I was just lucky to have good actors on this film. That’s the thing, being an actor first and a filmmaker second, what’s interesting is that I… where a lot of movies fail, especially smaller budget films, is bad acting. I find it ironic because for me, without that you kinda don’t have anything.

FF: Yeah, yeah exactly.

Bradley: So, the first, this film, A Weekend to Remember, it was my first one. You know it’s all about learning at this point. The good thing I was nominated for a Leo Award for the acting in the film, which was cool. It’s like an award thing they have up here in Canada, it’s for western Canada.

FF: Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Um, is it still going to the, ah … film festival in New York? Is it still in there?

Bradley: Yes, yes, yes …

FF: When will we find out about that?

Bradley: Found out about that a couple of months ago, or six weeks ago. And I’m leaving, I’m gonna go on Wednesday night and I’ll be there for like six days. The film is showing on Sunday (April 15th), this upcoming Sunday.

FF: Oh, really? Wow. Perfect timing.

Bradley: Yeah. So it’s gonna be fun. It’s gonna be fun. We’re gonna get a chance to kinda see a little bit of the public’s reaction, and what not. It’s a tough film for festivals to program, just, the time is long, it’s sixteen and a half minutes, and the content is extremely, like, dramatic. It’s not a very like, you know, fun, it’s not an uplifting, this is fun film. It’s a film that’s like, “Wow, that was heavy.” A lot of people, you know, that’s kinda not their thing for festivals, is what I’m learning.

FF: Right. Yeah.

Bradley: Nonetheless though, we’re excited. It’s a great thing to have it in there. And you know I’ll still submit it to a few more festivals, but of course, now that I’ve got my second movie, which is, my second movie, Ranger Charlie, is also in the SOHO Film Festival, which is kinda, ah, kinda crazy. They didn’t actually realize that I had two films in the festival.

FF: Oh, you have two films in there? That’s fantastic!

Bradley: Yeah, they didn’t even realize until I brought it to their attention, ‘cause that Ranger Charlie is a comedy. So, totally different, totally different. And a lot of fun. And you know, the more I show my films, and then, my third film, Unexpected Guest, is like more of a thriller.

FF: That is the one with Patrick Gilmore, right?

Bradley: Yes, yes, Patrick Gilmore is in that. And we, with that one, the irony of this, of the Unexpected Guest is that it’s a thriller, the short film is a thriller, but I’ve also written a feature film version of it, and it’s more of a thriller-comedy.

FF: Okay.

Bradley: Which is kind of interesting because we kind of missed with the little pieces of the comedy in the short, but not necessarily a hundred percent. And there is a reason for that, it’s because it was only supposed to be a short film, but after we shot it, it went so well, when I got home, I was like, well, I think I need to turn this into a feature, so then I did it after I had already shot the short, and I didn’t realize how much comedy there was there.

So, I gotta redo that short introduction with a little bit more comedy, it’s gonna essentially be a tool we can use to try to present to people the idea of filming the feature. It would have been a little bit more representative of the feature script tied up with a little more comedy in it. Nonetheless, we just finished with that. We’re very happy with that.

And then Patrick and I produced a film together called Found, which is the fourth one. And that’s a silent film, it’s another short film.

FF: Oh, fantastic.

Bradley: That’s a silent film. I acted in that one, as well. So, I’ve acted in three of the four and my hope is to slowly kinda pull myself away from that. Not because I don’t want to, just because, you know, being that I want to be a film maker, it’s better to be on the, just pick a side of the camera.

FF: Right, exactly.

Bradley: And it’s been good, BUT… there’s always a but.

FF: There’s always a but. (laughter)

Bradley: Yeah. It’d be fun, more fun for me I think to just concentrate on the directing and writing portion. The issue I have sometimes is that, the commitment, ‘cause you don’t have a lot of money to pay actors, so the commitment you’re asking for, not even just time, but, like for the last one I did it was like, the commitment I was looking for from somebody, just in the presentation of what I needed them to look like ‘cause it’s about a homeless man, in terms of not shaving, and letting themselves go a little bit, just to be the character. I couldn’t really ask anybody to do it, and, and then I needed to find somebody who I was excited about from a perspective of like they are going to bring some really cool stuff to the table in terms of acting, well, all those people are busy working on professional productions and collecting the nice big paychecks. So I just realized, you know what, I’m better off if I just do it on my own, and I kinda just let myself go for the project. (laughter)

FF: That’s as good an excuse as any.

Bradley: Yeah.

FF: So now listen, Stryke-Force, that is your production company. Great name by the way, I absolutely love it.

Bradley: Aw, thanks.

FF: So is it mostly producing your stuff or is there also other projects that you handle with Stryke-Force?

Bradley: Stryke-Force Films is all mine as of now and it’s not, it’s to be, it’s just the beginning and we’ve done the four films so far. And it’s what do I want to do? That’s what I’m asking myself. What do I want to do? At this point, I want to just start, I want to start having more fun. And that means, I want to start shooting some shorter stuff for a funnier time, shooting some stuff to just put on YouTube, ‘cause everything to this point has been pretty labor intensive where, I mean like, from the writing of the scripts all through the projects is a year or two.

FF: Wow.

Bradley: Ah, through the end of the projects and then you’ve invested a lot of money in it, so then you run into this issue of now that I’ve invested all this money into it, I can’t just throw it up on, like you know, a website and just kinda give it away, I need to try and find some sort of way to facilitate having this project benefit me in some way. And so the plan is to, kinda, just start, maybe, and I’m looking for the team to do this, which is to just start making some fun things, we’ll film on a weekend and spend a couple of weeks editing, then put it online, you know.

Then the issue I’m fighting in Vancouver with that, the people that are willing to do that are so new that the quality is, is a little rougher. And a lot of the people I’ve been collaborating with at this point slowly, like one and two at a time, (laughter) one or two at a time, they’ve been disappearing. And what I mean by that is they, they kinda get scooped up by the professional film world. Rightfully so, and it’s what I want for them. And then their, you know, their rate goes from “yeah, let’s do this film ‘cause we’re excited about it” to they need, you know, they need to get paid their rates. Then, you gotta have the money. And it always comes down to that.

And I think that my future for Stryke-Force Films would be, in the near future, is making these kinds of things, but then, also finding my producer partner, which won’t be me. I’m not a, producing is not my thing. I like to be the creative guy. When I’m forced to do the business part, it kinda of, it’s not my forte, I don’t enjoy it, so I’m like, why do it.

Anyway, I’m gonna look into the next, it’s gonna take a minute, I’m revamping the website and getting everything set up professionally. I’m gonna contact a lawyer and draw up a contract, but I want to find my producing partner, and go into business with, right now, them helping get these short films out there and then the way the end thing that we’re all gonna be trying to gearing our energy towards is getting funding, or getting some of my screen plays out there. Whether we make them on our own or whether we find, we get people reading them, and this will be something to as I get an agent for writing them, that we can kinda of create some heat there, and then whoever my producing partner is will, you know, reap the benefits of their percentage on that.

FF: Gotcha. Ah, right, that’s awesome. Let’s go and move on to specifically to A Weekend to Remember and specifically the movie now. How did you get the idea for that movie? And personally, I’m interested in how you found that absolutely beautiful place for shooting that production.

Bradley: (laughter) Um, we found the location by just driving around. Daily. A lot.

FF: Seriously? You just saw it?

Bradley: We were just driving around Vancouver and constantly finding spots that didn’t work, didn’t work. Then we went online and found that place. They had filmed, that was out in an area called Langley Surrey, which is outside the city, by about forty-five minutes. And then we found this place, really, really nice couple owns it, and they’ve had a few professional productions come through. You know, a Coke commercial, and something else filmed there and you know, those productions pay $10,000 a day or something crazy. And we said this is what we we’re doing, and they were excited about it and they we’re interested and they gave us a really, really, really nice rate. Um, and so we we’re able to film. An essentially all it is, is they have a guest house on their property, which is kinda cool ‘cause they live like, you know, they live in their house which is not too far away on the property from that thing. It’s kinda like their baby, they put all their time into building it. Um, so, that’s, that’s how we found that. And we just found it, found it online, I think it was either through the resource of BC (British Columbia) Film or just looking online.

Listen to the sound file here:

FF: So it was something like that specifically that you were looking for that story? Was it always supposed to be a weekend house?

Bradley: Yeah, I wanted it to be in the mountains, and we couldn’t find it. And we went up, because we searched everywhere, we went up and searched around Whistler, which is about two hours out of Van, and we searched everywhere. So couldn’t find exactly what we wanted. I wanted it to be snowy, couldn’t find that either, because the year we were filming that there wasn’t a lot of snow, which is really ironic. So we ended up not even filming until June just because of scheduling. But, yeah, it was a long search, a couple of months just to find the place.

We also shot in a suburban house, though, too, which is out in that direction as well, for the flashback scenes.

FF: Right, right, the flashbacks, yeah, I remember that was very distinctly different.

Bradley: Yeah, yeah, yeah. And the idea for that story came, I was, years back, I was a bar tender in Venice Beach and a guy came in and sat down at the bar he was, something, something was off about him and you know Venice Beach is a fun place; it’s full of crazies, which is why I love it. I so I thought it was somebody, you know, one of the locals. And it wasn’t. And I was like, all right something’s going on here with this guy and you know he ordered a drink. And over the course of the next couple of hours, I found out he’d, just arrived, just literally got to Venice from Missouri and like six days beforehand, his wife and four year old son were killed, head on accident with a drunk driver.

FF: Oh my goodness.

Bradley: Ah, driving home from a field trip. And the guy I saw, the reason why I was so enamored with him, was the amount of, like, pain he was in. I had never seen, literally, I had never seen it face to face, like, this guy, he was done. He was broken. He was, he was gonna drink himself to death, if not just killed, or I don’t know what he had planned. What he told me is, that he had left, after it happened, he settled up a couple of debts, he left the keys to his house on the front counter, left the front door open, packed a little duffle bag, which he had at his feet when I met him, and got in his car and just started driving. And this is six days later, didn’t have any money left. So I told him, listen, you can just come into here, I work these days this week, and I’ll give you free food and free drink, you know, just because it looked like he needed some help. And he, ah… I never saw him again.

So it was just one of these things where I just, I always wondered what happened. What happened to the poor…

FF: So it’s actually based on an actual story, in a way.

Bradley: Yeah, the core, the core of it is. This is, this is part of the thing, right, is that the question for me was always, I don’t know what happened. So I’ve always kind of bumped around in my head, going, well what, how did that end up? What was the scenario? And so when I finally, major decided to make writing something that I was going to do continuously, ‘cause it was an off again, on again, off again until three years ago when it became a full time job. And when I started doing that, all these ideas just came, they’ve always been there forever, they’ve just been floating around. So like, that story came to me at, like, 5am, I just snapped awake one morning and I was like, oh my, and just started writing. I write tons of notes and forty-five minutes later, the outline was on the page. And you know, I had, I had the first draft done, a couple, two days later just ‘cause I was…

FF: It was ready to happen, huh?

Bradley: Yeah, it was one of those kinds of things. Yeah, and a really good experience. I’m very happy with it. It’s not, and we’ll see, you know, it’s not being received as well I’d like, but you know, in today’s world there’s so many films made. And there’s so, like, you know, at Sundance I think had somewhere around, I don’t know, ten or eleven thousand films were submitted this year. It’s just intense. It’s extremely competitive, so there’s not, there’s not a place for everything. For everybody’s.

So what I’m learning is that you kind of got to stay true to who I am. So I always got to ask myself, “why do you do this” and I do it because I love it. Once I’m reminded of that simple fact, kind of, if I just do it ‘cause I love it, and I, and I take my mind off of any sort of result, then I’m incredibly happy with the first, with this film. Am I getting the result necessarily, that I would have set out to garner, no, but, you know, if I take away all that stuff, then I’m actually doing it for the right reasons anyway.

FF: Yeah, I gotcha. That makes sense. All right now, when and how did you first meet Louis? Let’s scoot on over into that corner.

Bradley: Yeah, totally. I met Louis on Stargate. I worked on the first three episodes.

FF: Right. The ill-fated Sergeant Curtis.

Bradley: Yes, exactly. And, I met him on that. We just, we just kind of got each other. You know, you kind of, your energy just kind of attracted, attracted to certain people. You connect with certain people. And so, you know Louis’ been around a long time, he’s a very talented individual. Incredibly grounded guy, but also very real. Not a lot of, not a lot of bullshit, which is kind of good to me, because I’ve lived in LA for ten years, and I don’t have a lot of capacity for it anymore. I’m over it.

Anyway, so we would hang out off and on, and we were, we went and did the New Mexico thing, and whatnot. And then, I, from just that, I became friends with kind of the whole cast. (Laughter) And then the irony being, when the show got canceled, I wasn’t even on the show anymore, and I was sad. And I was like, “aw, I’ve got friends that are leaving.”

And then when I was doing my project, I just said “hey, I have this thing, I’d really love you to read.” And he was like “absolutely!”. And what I find kind of humorous about the whole thing, is that I had already used Louis for a table reading I had of my first feature that I started juggling around, which is, which is a really kind of dramatic piece, It’s actually ironically, a feature version of A Weekend to Remember, but it’s the same core story. It’s about a guy who loses his wife and child, but it’s a totally different story.

That’s the only part that’s the same. And Louis read it and after Louis read it, he was like, “Ah,” he goes, “Dude,” it’s funny, it’s like, “I want to make that movie.” And I was like, yeah, I know, but the problem is, it’s really hard to find money for a film like that. But he was, he really liked the part. It’s like an actor’s part though, it’s written by an actor, obviously, me, but it’s written for an actor. It’s just that, that particular film it’s called Silent Hero, it’s one of those things that is like, as an actor you only get a few opportunities to play stuff like that in your career. And the reason we’re attracted to it, is, all in one way, shape or form, we all have, we all, are very emotional beings, especially actors for some reason, seem to be incredibly… And so that material is, you know, it’s got a lot to sink your teeth into.

FF: What was the title of that feature again?

Bradley: It’s called Silent Hero.

FF: Silent Hero.

Bradley: Silent Hero. Yep, still re-writing it, constantly. Someday it will come to some sort of fruition. There is different kinds of films that are made, and some are made for money. You know, you make a big comedy for money. You make a horror film for money. The only reason to make it, right. It’s not gonna win an award. Then there’s some films that are for the, whether it be, like an art house film, or whether it would be like, they say this is the film we’re making specifically for, like, to win awards, kind of a thing, that kind of thing.

And that’s like, Silent Hero would more for somebody who wanted to take it on to make a splash and be taken seriously. Not somebody who…

FF: Right, more of a cerebral kind of thing rather than…

Bradley: What was that?

FF: More of a cerebral kind of thing rather than a big money maker.

Bradley: Exactly. And so when you get into those that, those get made when they get into the hands of somebody with power. You know. I don’t know who it would be, some up and coming director even saying, “I’m gonna make this movie” and everybody going, “Gee, do whatever you want. We’ll give you money for it.” And then it gets made. And they go in necessarily knowing, this is, you know, producers will produce that film with that person, just to be part of their party, and then go “Okay, cool, we did that one for you, now let’s do this one for us.” And it just happens to be Saw 5 or something, you know, (laughter) the movie that makes the bucks.

FF: So now, the part that Louis played in that movie was that written with him in mind or did you, was that already pretty much fleshed out when you asked him to play that part?

Bradley: Well, I wrote it originally not having any idea, but after Louis, we did the table reading on Silent Hero, I saw and I got to know him better and he was, like, my first choice and when I asked him, I said “here’s the part” and what he did, which is great, which is what most actors do anyway, but he’s been around so long and you know, he’s doing me a favor, he just made it his own. Which is what, essentially what you have to do anyway, but you have more freedom on a project like mine, to really make it your own. So once he showed up, and we got it filming, I was like, “huh, interesting.” I had never, ‘cause it comes into my head only one way, and I had never seen this version. And I like that’s great, and I liked it better than any sort of idea that I had in my head. So he, what he brought to it, essentially, he made it his own. So I had already written it a time before, but it came out of him different and then, that ended up being what we got and what actually ended up being the best possible choice which we ever could have had anyway.

FF: It’s always nice when your collaborators bring something to it that makes you look at it, you know, with a totally different set of eyes. And you discover something new about it.

Bradley: Absolutely. I mean, he’s a very talented man. So, I didn’t expect anything less, to be honest. And that’s part of, a good part of being an actor first and your friends are these successful actors and “maybe you got a free, you know, day to work on this for me,” and knowing that a free day is asking a lot sometimes, but they usually step up and then, the product you get from that perspective is just great. (laughter) And you sit back and look what I got. Look at that, and it makes the director usually, I didn’t direct A Weekend to Remember, but it makes the director, actually, really look good too, because part of the director’s job is to get, to get the performance that they need. And there it is. “Silver platter.”

FF: That’s excellent. Yeah. Now, do you have any interesting little stories or an event that happened during the making of A Weekend to Remember, that concerned Louis? Anything that you remember that you would like to share?

Bradley: Um. No. I just, I think that the most interesting story I’d have is when we were doing the very climatic scene, the incredibly dramatic scene, which was the incredibly emotional from my side…

FF: The breakdown.

Bradley: Yeah, yeah.

Listen to the sound file here:

Bradley: I didn’t have any idea what I was going to get from him. So we did rehearsals, and then, but I wasn’t, you know, in rehearsals I’m not really charged up emotionally, so when I, from the moment when I actually got charged up emotionally, and we did our first take, all I can do at that point is be present with him, and see what happens. I don’t know, because I don’t know what he’s going to give me. And I remember being so surprised by some of the stuff I was getting and being absolutely, just more than anything else being excited about how he was doing things in a way I just didn’t even see as an option.

And I was like, “Wow! Okay, I didn’t know that was coming.” And it made it all fresh and new, so it actually made it, you know, in a certain sense, it made my job a lot easier, but it also made it a lot tougher because emotionally it became a lot harder to keep it together.

FF: Right, right. Because it’s sort of a little bit of a one-upmanship after that.

Bradley: It’s, you know, what it is, more than anything, we’re playing brothers. When you take that on as a reality, and then you realize this is how this brother would approach the guy like my character and the position he was in, an emotional wreck. It really kind of floors you.

And you know, like, “Wow!, Ugh, this is gut-wrenching.” And then just watching the way Louis had to tip-toe and deal with me in a very specific way. And then also like, you know, him getting, kind of putting his foot down and getting tough with me. It was just like, it was really nice. It was really, really nice.

And other than that, it was just that, I mean it, it just that… What’s cool about Louis is just that he’s a normal guy. He’s doing his thing. You know, you’re just sitting having a nice conversation and then it’s game time and it takes him, he’s just been doing it so long, he just turns around and takes a deep breath and does his thing and you’re like “Wow!” (laughter) “This guy is, I didn’t see that coming. Okay, that’s talent.” It’s not an accident he’s ended up where he’s had the career he’s had. Right?

FF: Right, Exactly. So that actually already segues into my next question here. What do you think are Louis’ strongest points as an actor?

Bradley: Strongest points, I mean? It’s hard to say because he changes…

FF: His best qualities or whatever?

Bradley: Ah, you know, probably mine would be just that, how organic he is, in terms that he’s not, he doesn’t, he doesn’t seem to be married to. As actors, there’s actors that operate with max, with unlimited freedom, and then there’s other people who are, you can kind of see a little bit of a technician kind of working. With him, it always feels like, it’s just completely organic and happening in the moment, which is what we all strive for. He just does it effortlessly.

And for me it’s, more than anything, it’s like, I find him to be really, well like I said, like I already said, a really grounded individual, to be really…He’s not caught up in any of the stuff. He’s just who he is. Just himself. And that makes him, in my mind, that makes him a very interesting individual just to be around. And that’s the thing about, what I will say about the whole Stargate cast, they were an interesting group of people. So when you hang out with them in their group, you were like, “Wow!” There is just so many different personality types.

But, you know, Louis is being one of… had an incredible amount of care and compassion and integrity, but also incredibly artistic. And that’s always, right, it’s a pretty cool combination. And when he talks to you and also in his work he’s so present. He’s not anywhere else. Where I’ve worked with other very well known actors and I’m like, “Well, they’re, (laughter) they are definitely not even here. Don’t know where they are.” Then they are kind of phony in it. It’s not, it’s not their thing.

FF: Right. He’s a very genuine kind of person. I mean I’ve, you know, realized that very quickly when I first met him, that this is who he is, and there’s nothing fake about him..

Bradley: No. I don’t even think he has… I don’t even know if he has the capacity to be that guy, just because it’s with family and friends and growing up kept him very grounded. You know when you’re successful it often takes the people around you to keep you, kind of, in that place. And I think he’s, I just never saw that capacity for this guy losing himself in his own ego. He seems to have, kind of, put that in check, which is nice. It makes it easy to be around him.

FF: Okay, here’s the trick question that every person that I interview for for Ferreira Fest gets: if you had to describe Louis in four words, what would they be?

Bradley: Four words? Ahhhh, okay, here we go… compassionatefun, (laughter), isn’t it fun,… grounded…. and generous.

FF: Okay. Excellent. You’re right there in the middle of the road with what other people also say about him. So this is great. All right, I’m almost at the end here, and I know that, I have a DVD, of course, of A Weekend to Remember because, you sent me one. But, I was wondering if there is any chance at all, by this point, now that the movie has been out for a little while, that the public might have access or at least the people in the fan club might be able to see all of the movie, whether it’s available somewhere online or an address that you could me that I can post that these people could watch?

Bradley: Um, it will be possible soon, yes, very soon actually. I’m kind of setting up the Stryke-Force Films video channel thing. A piece at a time. And yes, what I have to do is figuring out what I have to do to condense it to the correct size, because the one I have right now is too big to put on video. But yes, there will be, there will be a time when the movie is, when you and I will be in touch, and I can get, everybody the link to the channel with the password, because it will be password protected.

FF: That would be fantastic.

Bradley: Yeah, for sure. And there is a trailer for it online on YouTube, for A Weekend to Remember, there is a trailer for it. It’s rather vague, which it needs to be, because to be honest, you can’t give too much away.

FF: Well, of course not. You know, and I don’t want to spoil anything, I’m trying to specifically steer away from spoilers of that kind of stuff in what I write up. But, you know, at some point, we’re having this whole conversation and people have seen a couple of pictures, and you allowed me last year to make a couple of screen caps and I’m planning to do that as long as it’s just Louis and it doesn’t give away the rest of the story. And I’m still happy to stick to those rules until you tell me otherwise.

Bradley: Yeah. And I’ll get you the link for sure, because my… I mean, that’s the thing, that’s the problem I’m having with the way, with putting too much money into these things, is that I can’t. Because ultimately, I just want everybody to watch them. I want to put it out in the world and just say “enjoy!”. But you get into this place, where you’re like, okay, I need to figure out, I need to get everything possible, you know, from this, before I kind of put it out there and let everybody play.

And it is a short film, so you don’t sell it. Generally speaking. That’s never been my plan. But right now, the issue is that I have is that nobody’s ever seen it because I’ve been waiting for to get some premiere stuff done. Like this weekend (April 15) in New York, will be the premiere for the US and so after that I think there will be a lot more, it will open up more. It’ll be a lot more lenient, for sure, in terms of letting people just get in there and watch it. Yeah, so that will be, absolutely, will be in touch, and if you haven’t heard from me in, I would say even like, just a month or two from now, just let me give, just shoot me an email and say, “any word on the Vimeo channel or what not?”

FF: Okay.

Bradley: If I remember, I’ll just send you the link, but the odds are that I’m so busy at times, things slip my mind.

FF: I’ll be happy to, to pester you there about that. I have my to–do list and I can check that and just make sure I can send you a reminder when the time comes.

Bradley: Perfect.

FF: All right.

Bradley: All right, I appreciate it, this was fun!

FF: Okay, thank you so much again for your time, Bradley, and I’ll be sending you the link as soon as it’s up.

Bradley: Okay.

FF: Thank you! Bye-bye.

Bradley: Bye-bye.

Thanks to Kimmy for the transcript!

FUNNY BRADLEY PICTURES

Bradley has to find room for yet another award.
Bradley is a dye-in-the-wool Seahawks fan. Sadly, they’ve never seen this photo so they lost the Superbowl. Talk about ungrateful!
