Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of gypsies, techies, tramps and geeks, who have next to nothing in common but a growing interest in each others’ well-being… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida!

Geeks are generally unhealthy people, just like you and me.

Okay, like you, anyway; the wife and I literally joined the local Y yesterday to get back to the gym and take a stand against the rapid onset of middle age.

But enough about me. Let’s get back to the geeks and freaks in the audience. Your color is poor. So is your circulation. You’re fat and slovenly, too. Seriously, wipe that drool off your chin; it’s grossing me out.

BRUCE W. PERRY audio excerpt: “There’s too much indoors, too much immobilization in front of a screen. The geeks are hacking themselves.” 

Bruce W. Perry interview with Mr. Media, Bob Andelman, May 17, 2012

Never getting up from your computer terminals and working for hours on end in dimly lit rooms, never experiencing sunlight, will do that to a fella.

Another problem: you’re too smart for your own good. You think you know everything about everything because you’ve got the knowledge of the Internet forever at your fingertips.

But while you could run C+++ circles around the rest of us mere mortals, you’re doing a crappy job of maintaining your health. You’re only going to be 23 and know everything for so long. Then you’re going to turn into one of us – you know, your parents.

It’s not too late to do something about the situation, and software engineer Bruce W. Perry has written the perfect life hack for you: Fitness for Geeks: Real Science, Great Nutrition, and Good Health. It’s even produced by the ultimate geek publisher, O’Reilly.

Perry has figured out a way to get you focused on getting healthy using apps, widgets and terms only a geek will understand. So before this gets any more over my head…

Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of hardcore ex-cons who are scared silly by being anywhere close to Machete, even if it’s via Wi-Fi… in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida!

Of course there are stereotypes in Hollywood!

Look up “Scary Mofos” in any dictionary and you’ll find a picture of actor Danny Trejo. Even when he’s smiling, he’s frightening. (No disrespect, sir.) Mention his name in casual conversation and watch the visceral fear come rising up in someone’s eyes.

As the master thespian Jon Lovitz once said, “Acting!”

Yeah, maybe.

DANNY TREJO audio excerpt: “Machete doesn’t wear a cape and he has no superpowers. He’s just a badass. Clint Eastwood was just a badass. Iron Man needed a therapist and he had a daddy complex! Machete is just a guy, a day laborer. There is some sense of realism!” 

Danny Trejo interview with Mr. Media, Bob Andelman, May 22, 2012

You can LISTEN to this interview with actor DANNY TREJO, star of MACHETE, SPY KIDS and RANCHERO, by clicking the audio player above!

The truth is that Trejo can terrorize moviegoers with just a look because he’s been in bad places none of us would really want to go, including San Quentin during 11 years in and out of jail. But he’s made those hard years pay off for him in the decades since.

Remember the impression he made the first time you saw him in Robert Rodriguez’s Desperado? Or how about as “Razor Charlie” in From Dusk Till Dawn with George Clooney? Or Con Air and Anaconda?

He can also play a character that I can only describe as “less than threatening” in films such as the Rodriguez’s Spy Kids series, which introduced us to the legend of Machete Cortez. Machete was spun off from those movies into a full length feature; a sequel, cleverly titled Machete Kills is now in pre-production according to IMDB.

I am thrilled – and maybe a little terrified – to have Danny Trejo on the show today to talk about his role as “Capone” in a new movie, Ranchero, in which he plays a wheelchair-bound motel pimp opposite Roger Gutierrez and Christina Woods.
