Chris Jay, once a touring musician with the rock band Army of Freshmen, found a new creative path when the music industry shifted and opportunities dried up. Instead of giving up, he and his bandmate Aaron Goldberg turned to filmmaking, writing and producing their first feature, The Bet. Without studio backing or formal film education, the duo learned everything from scratch — from writing the screenplay to formatting scripts manually and raising money independently. Their story became a lesson in perseverance, proving that filmmaking success often starts with resourcefulness and a willingness to learn by doing.Despite budget limitations and countless challenges during production, The Bet made it to completion and secured distribution on major platforms like iTunes, Amazon, and cable VOD. Featuring wrestling legend Roddy Piper in one of his final roles, the film stands as a testament to the power of determination and creative problem-solving. For Chris, the project wasn't just about making a movie — it was about proving that great stories can come to life outside of Hollywood when passion, teamwork, and persistence lead the way.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela open with headlines out of Las Vegas, where an Israeli official was arrested for soliciting a minor, alongside lighter coverage of Snoop Dogg making the news for smoking marijuana. The tone pivots quickly to comedy as Dave recounts performing for 17,000 fans in Detroit alongside Shane Gillis, reflecting on the differences between intimate clubs, theaters, and massive arenas. From there, the conversation moves into sports and spectacle, revisiting the infamous Malice at the Palace with Ron Artest, debates over male cheerleaders in the NFL, and UFC champion Dricus Du Plessis. Wrestling legends including Diamond Dallas Page, Jake “The Snake” Roberts, Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Randy Savage, The Undertaker, Roddy Piper, and Dave Bautista all come up. The crew then explores music and pop culture, from DJ Jazzy Jeff and New Kids on the Block to Will Smith's troubled freestyle, Shia LaBeouf's eclectic performances, and the value of great movie soundtracks. They also riff on NFL end zone slogans like “End Racism,” revisit 1990s fashion trends such as frosted tips and puka shells, and discuss scandals involving Bob Crane, Patrice O'Neal's comedy legacy, and the Natalie Holloway case.Today's guest on "Normal World" is Gerard Michaels.
