Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidt [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043436/fan_mail/new] JeRome returns my friend. A seasoned pro. We talk a lot of health in this pod. Diet, exercise, supplements... it takes a healthy balance to maintain yourself during the 200+ shows and 40+ weeks of travel you put your body through over a 30+ year career. We cover a lot of it here.

Total Schmidt Show (4TSS162) Percy Crews 2

Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidt [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043436/fan_mail/new] Last pod before the rtrip to Ireland. We'll take a hiatus as I record stuff to bring back.  I've been wanting to get Percy on here for a while. I've known Percy longer than any other comic on ships. A real pro and a great guy. Percty really knows how to work a room. Always has.  Get your attention and keeps it. Easily one of the strongest comics on the high seas. One of Carnivals best. We got to do this one outside at #celebrationkey Carnival's private island.  Great chat with one of the best.

Total Schmidt Show (4TSS160) Mark Bennick and Jill Kimmel

Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidt [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043436/fan_mail/new] The live feed did't stream last week... This posted late, so, a twofer.... to make up for the issues the last two weeks. Magician Mark Bennick and comedian Jill Kimmel Got to work with both of them on the Carnival Hawaii cruise. Great time hanging in Hawaii. I've known Mark for years. He been performing since he was kid. Lives in vegas and brings his several different magic shows all over the world. This was my fist time meeting and working with Jill. She's a Carnival favorite and I saw why instantly. Has a great show. Paints a picture, tells a story. More situation than jokey joke which is my favorite. It's easier to relate and connect.  The whole week was a blast. We had fun recording the pod too. Enjoy.

Total Schmidt Show (4TSS159) Nikki Carr

Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidt [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043436/fan_mail/new] My first Virgin Voyages crusie was a blast. So much cool stuff available to the guests... really great experience, and I got to work with Nikki Carr. Mad respect and a huge fondness in ,my heart for comics like Nikki. She's an old pro. Been there, done that. She's seen it all and done it all. She was one of the finalists on "Last Comic Standing" Always a pleasure to watch a 30 year pro work. She's funny and personal on stage... all the things that matter for me as a comic. It was those kind of comics that brought me into this business. You see yourself in them. Nikki is great at it. She makes it look easy, which it's not. It takes years of writing ajnd performing to really get to that point. A good comic makes it look easy. Nikki is one for sure.

Hey, Thanks for listening! Hit me back at this link, or find me on all socials @MrLennySchmidt [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2043436/fan_mail/new] First time working with and meeting Damon. We actually had quite a bit in common. We both worked with kids. However, he was a real teacher. An educator. My Improv class was more of a simple after school class.  This was a great pod. If you're a comic, you should check it out. We talk quite a bit about development and pushing your self to be better on stage at all times. Every show is an opportunity. Take something from every time you get on stage.  Damon was also one of the best I've ever seen at "throw away" lines. Simple tags after the initial joke and tag, sometimes in the middle of the set up as well. You don't see them coming. Great work. Great pod.
