Podcast appearances and mentions of taylor dane

In today's episode, we revisit the 80s pop sensation Taylor Dane and her iconic hit "Love Will Lead You Back." We delve into Dane's overlooked legacy (seven top 10 hits over two albums!) and explore the emotional power of Frank's favourite Taylor Dayne song. Even though Bill would have preferred to discuss “Tell it To My Heart” instead, he shares his evolving appreciation for today's song, while Frank highlights its themes of hope and love's resilience – as well as somehow once again recounting the time he went 4-for-4 from the three-point line during a ninth-grade basketball game. “Love Will Lead You Back” brings back lots of memories and forces us to come to terms with our own relationship breakdowns. Despite all these complicated feelings, love still leads us back to bringing these songs to you each week!

Ingolf Lück: Formel Eins, Wochenshow, Let's Dance - immer auf „Seite Eins"„Zurück zu … Lück!“ Ob Wochenshow oder Formel-1-Moderator: Comedian und Schaupieler Ingolf Lück ist ein bekanntes Gesicht im deutschen TV. Auf der Pänz-Bühne mitten im Kölner Hbf enthüllt er eines seiner größten Geheimnisse: In welchen Bahnhöfen gibt es die besten Bratwürste? Außerdem wird Ingolf Lück auf eine harte Probe im Fanshop des 1. FC Köln gestellt. Ob der gebürtige Bielefelder diese bestehen kann? Auf der Bühne im Wartesaal am Dom wird's poetisch - bringt doch der Entertainer den „Regenwurm“ von Heinz Erhardt ins Spiel. Ganz andere Seiten schlägt Ingolf Lück mit „Seite Eins“ auf, als er über sein aktuelles Theaterstück im ernsten Fach und sein Charity-Event - den ComedySchuppen - spricht. Kurz vor der Rückfahrt nutzen Ingo und Alex die Zeit und lassen sich im The Body Shop „liften“ :-)LINKS:https://ingolf-lueck.de/https://www.instagram.com/ingolf_lueck/https://www.einkaufsbahnhof.de/news/paenz-pokal-2025https://www.einkaufsbahnhof.de/koeln-hauptbahnhof/store/1-fc-koeln-fanshophttps://www.einkaufsbahnhof.de/koeln-hauptbahnhof/store/wartesaal-am-domhttps://www.einkaufsbahnhof.de/koeln-hauptbahnhof/store/the-body-shophttps://www.bahnhof.de/koeln-hbfIMPRESSUMMEKB GmbHEuropaplatz 110557 BerlinDeutschlandRegistergericht: Berlin-Charlottenburg HRB 200498 BUSt-IdNr.: 29/001/61866Vertreten durch Viola Hendrich (Geschäftsführerin) und Anja Strauss (Geschäftsführerin)Bei Fragen und/oder Anmerkungen wenden Sie sich bitte an mekb@deutschebahn.com.DATENSCHUTZhttps://www.einkaufsbahnhof.de/global/datenschutz(0:05) Und hier sind ihre Gastgeber. Alexander Dieg, der Mann, der aus dem Radio kam. (0:13) Wie bitteschön ist es dazu gekommen? (0:15) Und die Stimme der Bahn in Uruf.(0:18) Einkaufsbahnhof Köln Hauptbahnhof. (0:21) Heute sind wir dort, wo einmal im Jahr so richtig laut Kölneralaf gerufen wird. (0:25) Ja, weil es ist ein bisschen komisch, wenn wir als Berliner Kölneralaf rufen, (0:29) wir mit unserer zurückhaltenden Art, würde ich mal sagen.(0:33) Ja, ja, aber einer, der es wissen muss, weil er schon eine Weile in Köln lebt, (0:37) ist Komedienmoderator, Schauspieler, Musiker, Synchronsprecher und Risseur. (0:45) Ingolflösch. (0:46) Ja, willkommen auf der Penz-Bühne hier im Einkaufsbahnhof Köln.(0:51) Hallo, Jan, durch die Aufzählung dieser ganzen Credits. (0:55) Es ist jetzt ja die Sendung gleich schon wieder vorbei. (0:56) Das wusste ich ja gar nicht.(0:57) Viele Dinge wusste ich gar nicht, dass ich die kann und dass ich die mache. (1:00) Aber der Tat ist richtig. (1:01) Ich bin jetzt auch noch ein bisschen aus der Puste, (1:03) weil ich habe natürlich hier gerade, wenn ich eine Bühne sehe (1:05) und wenn es ums Tanzen geht, dann bin ich dabei.(1:08) Ja, dann geht es einfach los, dann kann ich mich, muss ich mich bewegen. (1:11) Der Penz-Pokal. Penz ist ja keine Firma oder irgendwas, (1:15) sondern Penz heißt in Köln, heißt, das sind das die Kinder.(1:18) Was bei uns in Bielefeld, die Blaren sind. (1:22) Und da komme ich natürlich auch gleich aufs Thema, (1:23) weil ich bin ja eigentlich gar kein Kölner, (1:25) lebe aber schon seit 45 Jahren hier. (1:27) Und meine Kinder sind in Köln geboren, das sind richtige Kölner.(1:32) Obwohl, die teilweise in München leben. (1:34) Du sagst, du bist schon jahrelang Wahlkölner. (1:37) Es ist deine zweite Heimat oder erste Heimat sogar jetzt.(1:41) Wie geht da denn jetzt aber wirklich der Narrenruf der Kölner? (1:44) Haben wir den richtig ausgesprochen oder nicht? (1:46) Ja, ich bin natürlich froh, dass ihr nicht Herr Lauch gesagt habt. (1:51) Dann wären wir ja in Düsseldorf, aber es heißt einfach Kölneralaf. (1:55) Drehen wir mal Kölneralaf und dann muss man tanzen (1:58) und dann wenn da Trömmischen geht, dann stonnen wir Alperat (2:01) und das singen sie auch beim FC.(2:03) Und der FC ist der heimische Fußballverein hier, (2:07) dem alle möglichen Menschen angehören, (2:09) die hier in Köln geboren sind in erster Linie. (2:11) Aber ja, das ist Kölneralaf natürlich. (2:13) Du ja als Bielefelder hier im Kölner Exil, (2:17) erkennt man dich beim Karneval, machst du da richtig mit? (2:21) Das verrückt beim Karneval ist, wenn du nicht erkannt werden willst, (2:25) während der Karnevalszeit, musst du ganz normal auf die Straße gehen.(2:29) Weil wenn du dich verkleidest als Heino oder keine Ahnung (2:32) oder was weiß ich, oder als Zugführer oder so, (2:35) dann erkennen sie dich am ersten. (2:37) Also wenn du gar nicht erkannt werden willst, (2:39) bleibst du am besten zu Hause. (2:41) Aber in Köln ist ja einfach das kölische Herz.(2:44) Das ist einfach so toll, das ist so offen. (2:47) Also ich habe das früher immer so erklärt, (2:49) als es noch keine Navis gab, habe ich immer gesagt, (2:51) in Köln ist es so, wenn du einen Kölner nach dem Weg fragst, (2:55) weil du dich nicht auskennst, weil du dich aus Köln bist, (2:57) dann merkst du hinterher, du hast dich eine halbe Stunde (2:59) mit dem unterhalten, der kennt deine ganze Familiengeschichte, (3:02) du auch seine. Den Weg kennst du aber nicht.(3:05) Und das ist in Köln. (3:06) Wenn du in Köln zweimal in Rewe gehst, (3:09) dann wirst du wieder erkannt. (3:11) Und diese Mentalität ist fantastisch.(3:13) Ich merke schon, Freundschaften schließt man in Köln doch recht schnell. (3:17) Ja, natürlich, spätestens nach dem dritten Köln. (3:20) Ja, das ist ja dieses Bier, was man hier aus diesen, (3:22) wie die Berliner sagen, immer aus diesen Gläsern trinken, (3:25) die man eigentlich, wenn man zum Urologen geht, (3:27) wo man seinen Urin abgeben muss.(3:29) Aber das liebt der Kölner. (3:30) Es sind die Kölner Stangen und das trinkt der. (3:33) Und es ist auch so in Köln, (3:34) du kriegst immer automatisch in Köln nachgestellt.(3:38) Also du musst ganz bestellen oder so, (3:41) sondern du trinkst dein Kölsch und dann sieht der Kölbis, (3:44) das ist der Kölner, der sieht, dass du ausgedrunken hast. (3:47) Wenn du keinen Kölsch mehr haben willst, musst du den Deckel drauflegen. (3:50) Das werden wir doch gleich mal ausprobieren.(3:51) Ja, und hier im Kölner Einkaufsbahnhof (3:53) wird ja Karnaval auch ganz groß geschrieben (3:55) mit dem Penz-Pokal. (3:56) Und Stefanie Tolles-Schicke von den Einkaufsbahnhöfen. (3:59) Was ist denn der Penz-Pokal bei euch? (4:01) Der Penz-Pokal ist eine Tanzveranstaltung (4:04) für Karnevalsvereine.(4:05) Und wie auch der Ingolf gerade schon sagte, für Nuffepens, (4:09) das heißt Kinder. (4:11) Organisiert ist der jetzt schon von den Einkaufsbahnhöfen (4:14) mittlerweile zum 21. Mal.(4:17) Und wir haben in dieser Penz-Pokalwoche 30 Vereine (4:21) auf unserer Einkaufsbahnhof-Bühne stehen (4:24) und da tanzen 800 bis 1000 Tänzerinnen und Tänzer. (4:29) Und der Spaß ist ja noch lange nicht vorbei, (4:31) denn er geht dann noch weiter. (4:32) Der geht noch weiter.(4:35) Wir haben jetzt ein wunderbares Gewinnspiel organisiert. (4:39) Das erste Mal haben wir ein Penz-Pokal-Song (4:43) zusammen mit der Band Alois entwickelt. (4:47) Und zu diesem Penz-Pokal-Song kann man ein Tanz nachtanzen, (4:50) den bei uns einreichen, (4:53) hochladen und eine Teilnahme (4:56) an dem offiziellen Musikvideo von Alois gewinnen.(4:59) Also mitmachen die ganzen Teilnahmebedingungen (5:01) wie man das macht, findet ihr alles auf Instagram, (5:04) auf Penz-Pokal-Official. (5:06) Und in den Song von Alois, hören wir mal rein. (5:21) Irgendwann hat er gesagt, er sieht eine Bühne (5:23) und schon zappelt mindestens ein Bein immer, (5:26) weil Ingo hat beim Aufzählen deiner ganzen Skills (5:30) Tanzen vergessen.(5:32) Du hast letzte 11. Staffel gewonnen. (5:34) Für viele, für dich ja vielleicht nicht, war es überraschend.(5:37) Woher kam denn das? (5:39) Naja, ich habe eine gewisse tänzerisch Vorbildung. (5:42) Jemand früher machte man eben Tanzschule, (5:44) als ich 15 war. (5:46) Dann habe ich Stepptanzen gelernt, so mit 2021.(5:51) Ich habe mich also immer für das Tanzen sehr interessiert. (5:53) Dass ich da natürlich so reissieren konnte bei Let's Dance, (5:56) das war eben halt nicht voraus zu sehen. (5:58) Geh ich ja Woche für Woche weiter (6:00) und du musst dich immer wieder neu beweisen.(6:02) Ja, dann habe ich halt insgesamt drei Monate lang, (6:06) jeden Tag acht bis zehn Stunden trainiert. (6:08) Du nimmst zehn Kilo ab, kannst gar nichts machen. (6:12) Du kannst Süßigkeiten essen noch und nöcher, (6:15) aber das bleibt einfach dann auf der Strecke.(6:17) Und das war eine tolle und intensive Zeit. (6:20) Du bist eine Million Publikum mit der TV-Sendung Formel 1 (6:23) in den 80er Jahren bekannt geworden. (6:26) Was bedeutet denn diese Show für dich heute? War es eine Art Türöffner? (6:30) Ja, natürlich.(6:31) Das Lustige ist, dass du gesagt hast, Millionen-Publikum. (6:35) Das ist ja heute bei Fernsehsendungen, (6:37) ist das ja schon mal was Besonderes, wenn man eine Million hat. (6:39) Damals waren das 11, 14 Millionen, die jede Woche geguckt haben.(6:43) Und du gehst dann natürlich als junger Typ (6:45) innerhalb kürzester Zeit von 0 auf 100. (6:48) Damals spielte ich 1984 hier in einem Nachwuchstheater in Köln. (6:53) Das war der Sprunggrilltheater vom WDR.(6:55) Und dann haben die gesagt, Ingol, willst du nicht mal Moderation machen? (6:58) Und dann habe ich gesagt, naja, gut, okay. (7:01) Interessiert mich eigentlich nicht. (7:02) Und hat die Theaterleiterin gesagt, (7:03) weißt du, wir haben aber da einen Jungen, der ist 19.(7:06) Und der ist gut, aber der traut sich nicht alleine. (7:08) Trifft den doch mal. Dann habe ich den getroffen.(7:10) Ich habe mich mit sehr gutem Verstanden (7:12) und habe dann mit Happy Cackling zwei Programme da gemacht. (7:16) Und dann wurden wir quasi fürs Fernsehen entdeckt. (7:19) Dann haben wir gesagt, wollt ihr nicht mal Fernsehen machen? (7:20) Dann haben wir gesagt, nee, eigentlich.(7:23) Fernsehen war damals noch nicht dieses goldenen Kalb, (7:25) um das man tanzt. (7:27) Und dann haben die quasi und haben die gesagt, (7:29) okay, wir haben zwei Sendungen. (7:30) Einen läuft in der ARD, sechsmal im Jahr.(7:33) Und eine läuft jede Woche auf allen dritten Programmen bundesweit. (7:38) Wer will was machen? (7:39) Und Hans-Peter war damals schon jemand, (7:40) der Work-Live-Balance richtig gut raushatte bis heute. (7:45) Wie ich finde, darum habe ich ihn immer beneidet, (7:47) weil ich bin immer der gewesen, der alles mitnimmt.(7:49) Und dann hat Hans-Peter eine ARD-Einsendung gemacht (7:51) und ich habe diese Formel 1 gemacht. (7:53) Für uns als Kinder der 80er. (7:55) Es ist eine unglaubliche Freude, (7:58) dass er nicht nur in Erinnerung lebt, (8:00) sondern das kommt jetzt wieder.(8:02) Ihr macht eine richtige 80s-Party. (8:04) 22. März, die 80er-Party auf Schalke, (8:07) wo du mit Kai Birking und Peter Ilmann zusammen.(8:10) Ja, das ist richtig. (8:12) Wir haben ja diese Formel 1 Reloaded-Sendung, (8:15) die es dann im Fernsehen gab bei Kabel 1, 2, 3, 1. (8:18) Davon gab es letztlich dann mehr (8:20) als von den ursprünglichen Sendungen. (8:22) Ich habe das ja nur ein Jahr gemacht.(8:24) Ich habe nur 40 Sendungen gemacht. (8:25) Aber damals blieb natürlich so eine Fernsehkarriere, (8:28) blieb lange in Erinnerung. (8:30) Und jetzt gibt es diese 80er-Party (8:33) mit Boy George und Ubi Forti.(8:36) Und Dieter Bohlen ist auch dabei. (8:39) In der Arena sind wahrscheinlich dann so 70.000 Leute. (8:42) Ich habe keine Ahnung.(8:44) Was ist das für ein Gefühl, (8:45) wenn du vor so vielen Leuten dann stehst? (8:48) Also es ist eigentlich einfacher (8:50) als vor 20 Leuten aufzutreten, (8:53) denen du ins Gesicht schaust. (8:54) Weil so ein großes Publikum ist wie einer eigentlich. (8:57) Aber ich werde dann natürlich (8:59) schon wieder wahnsinnig nervös sein, (9:01) weil das ist so.(9:02) Ich bin einfach immer aufgeregt. (9:04) Obwohl, ich habe seinerzeit gedacht, (9:06) ich hätte das größte Lampenfieber behaupten. (9:09) Und habe dann dir Bach kennengelernt, (9:11) der ein guter Freund wurde.(9:13) Und Dickey war noch viel aufgeregter. (9:15) Also ich musste immer nur hinten (9:17) und vorne drauf auf die Toilette. (9:19) Bei ihm kam es auch noch aus Mund und Nase.(9:22) Aber das Tolle ist ja, (9:24) wenn du dann auf der Bühne bist, (9:26) dann ist das vorbei. (9:27) Und das macht eben unseren Beruf aus. (9:29) Weil wenn du das auf der Bühne immer noch hast, (9:31) dann ist das der falschen Job.(9:32) Welcher ist dein persönlicher Lieblingssong (9:34) aus den 80ern? (9:36) Da gibt es so viele. (9:37) Ich mag auch so One Hit Wonder. (9:40) Taylor Dane habe ich gesehen, (9:41) wird dabei sein.(9:42) Die hatte einen Titel, (9:43) das war ein Titel. (9:45) Das ist doch fein. (9:47) Wo gibt es denn die Tickets für die 80er-Party auf Schalke? (9:50) Das weiß ich nicht.(9:51) Ich habe hier eins. (9:53) Was vielleicht die wenigsten wussten, (9:55) du bist selbst Musiker, (9:57) kannst X-Instrumenten spielen? (10:00) Beziehungsweise welche nicht? (10:01) Ich spiele Schlechtklavier. (10:03) Ich bin eigentlich shallow basiert.(10:05) Ich habe angefangen mit shallow früher. (10:07) Dann habe ich Gitarre gelernt (10:09) und habe Schlagzeug immer noch im Keller. (10:14) Ich spiele ganz gut Akkordien, (10:16) sondern diatonisches Akkordien.(10:17) Was ein anderen Ton macht, wenn man sieht. (10:19) Und drückt. (10:20) Und habe vor einigen Jahren in der Corona-Zeit angefangen, (10:25) Saxophon zu lernen.(10:27) Das spiele ich in der Hauptsache Habaritan. (10:28) Du hast so viele Dinge schon gemacht in deinem Leben. (10:33) Hast du auch mal darüber nachgedacht, (10:34) vielleicht ein eigenes Musikalbum zu produzieren, (10:36) zu veröffentlichen? (10:37) Oder haben wir beide da, (10:38) was nicht mitbekommen? (10:40) Nein, es gab einmal den Versuch.(10:42) Und zwar habe ich mich für AIDS-Prävention (10:45) sehr gekümmert, Ende der 18er, den 90er. (10:49) Und dann gab es eine Fernsehsendung. (10:51) Die hieß Liebe ist Zärtlichkeit.(10:53) Und die wollte ich moderieren, habe ich dann auch. (10:55) Und da sagte man singen doch den Titelsong. (10:57) Zeit, Zeit, Zeit, Liebe ist Zärtlichkeit.(10:59) Es war ein toller Song. (11:00) Und dann war ich bei Heinz Löff-Kunz in Hannover im Studio. (11:04) Und der Heinz hatte das schon eingesungen.(11:06) Also so für mich. (11:08) Und dann habe ich es abgehört. (11:10) Also du hast dein Gesang abgehört.(11:11) Und was hat Heinz Rudolfs gesagt? (11:14) Wisst ihr was? (11:15) Ich würde diesem jungen Mann, der da gerade gesungen hat, (11:17) empfehlen, er sollte alles tun. (11:19) Er sollte nur keine Platte rausbringen mitgesangt. (11:22) Und dann hat es der Heinz gesungen.(11:24) Und danach war das für mich gegessen. (11:26) Das habe ich nicht gewusst. (11:28) Aber apropos Nichtwissen.(11:29) Viele wissen ja auch nicht, (11:31) dass Ingo seit mehr als 25 Jahren (11:34) auf den Lautsprechern der DB-Regionalzüge liegt (11:38) und den nächsten Halt immer ansagt. (11:39) Und wo die Leute mal raus müssen, links oder rechts. (11:42) Ihnen hören im Jahr circa 2 Milliarden Reisende.(11:46) Wirklich super Promi. (11:48) Und es gehört im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes zum guten Ton, (11:51) dass unsere Promis mit ihm eine gemeinsame Ansage aufnehmen. (11:55) Diese sammeln wir.(11:57) Und wollen Sie dann irgendwann auch auf die Züge bringen? (12:00) Machst du mit? (12:01) Ja, vor allen Dingen, (12:02) solange uns beide noch keine KI ersetzt hat. (12:05) Das ist ein wesentlicher Stichpunkt. (12:07) Ja, sehr gerne.(12:09) Ingo, was hast du dir ausgedacht für Ingolff? (12:12) Naja, also ich habe eine Frage, (12:13) dass Ingolff ein wahrer Kenner der Bahnhöfe (12:15) und auch der Angebote ist. (12:16) Und er kennt sich sogar besser aus, (12:18) als wir beide zusammen, Alex. (12:20) Und aus diesem Grunde ist meine Ansage, (12:23) die ich jetzt vorhab, auch ein bisschen, (12:24) ich möchte es mal sagen, unkonkret.(12:26) Nur Ingolff kann uns wirklich aufklären. (12:28) Und zwar, guck mal, die Ansage haben wir vorbereitet. (12:31) Diese erste dünngedruckte Zelle lese ich vor.(12:35) Ja. (12:35) Und ich übergebe dann an dich (12:37) und du liest dann diese Fettgedruckte vor. (12:39) Ja.(12:40) Wolltest du mal probieren? (12:41) Ja, genau. (12:43) Nächster Halt, irgendwo in Deutschland, (12:46) bitte alle aussteigen. (12:47) Denn Sie haben hier Anschluss zur besten Bratwurst.(12:52) Ja, eigentlich müsstest du die Ansage (12:54) mit einer Bratwurst im Mund sprechen. (12:56) Aber gut, du musst uns jetzt bitte mal aufklären, (12:59) wo gibt es denn die beste Bratwurst? (13:01) Es gibt viele und viele gute. (13:03) Also natürlich in Bielfeld.(13:05) Das muss ich sagen. (13:08) Bielfeld ist ja der Warnung, (13:10) an dem ich aber auch oft vorbei fahre, (13:11) wenn ich von Berlin nach Köln zum Beispiel fahre. (13:14) Und wenn du sagst, der nächste Halt ist Bielfeld, (13:16) dann machen die ganzen Leute immer, (13:18) ach, das gibt es wirklich.(13:21) Ich liebe zum Beispiel auch die Bratwurst (13:22) direkt am ICE-Gleis von Norden nach Süden in Hannover. (13:27) Weil Hannover ist ja auch so ein klassischer Umsteigerbahnhof (13:29) wie Mannheim. (13:30) Und wenn du da runtergehst vom ICE-Gleis, (13:32) hast du direkt diese Bratwurst im Brötchen (13:34) und auch noch bezahlbar.(13:36) Aber auch im Mannheim gibt es eine gute Bratwurst. (13:39) In Norden zum Beispiel, ganz im Norden, (13:40) in Ostfriesland, da gibt es ein Meckes direkt am Gleis. (13:45) Das heißt, du kannst quasi, (13:47) wenn man die Fenster noch runter machen könnte, (13:48) sonst musst du aus der Tür ganz quasi das so weggreifen.(13:51) Also es gibt Bahnhöfe, die liebe ich sehr in Leipzig. (13:55) Kannst du im Grunde ja zwei Wochen nicht verköstigen. (13:57) Du brauchst diesen Bahnhof überhaupt nicht verlassen.(13:59) Du kannst ein bisschen so zwischenlöschen, ein bisschen so einlikern (14:01) und dann bist du wieder da. Der ist so riesengroß. (14:04) Das kannst du in Mannheim auch.(14:06) Geht es dir auch so, Bratwurst schmecken (14:07) an besonderen Orten immer besonders gut. (14:10) Also zum Beispiel im Bahnhof oder im Stadion. (14:13) Kannst du das erklären? (14:14) Nein, das ist genau das gleiche Phänomen wie die Freibadpommes.(14:18) Das ist die Stadionwurst. (14:21) Ich kann das nicht erklären. (14:23) Das sind kulinarische Geheimnisse.(14:25) Wir haben gehört, dass du Fan natürlich von Aminia Bielefeld bist, (14:29) aber den Herz natürlich auch für den FC schlägt. (14:32) Das Herz kann nur für einen Verein schlagen. (14:36) In den Vereinen wirst du reingeboren (14:38) und wirst rausgestorben.(14:40) Da kannst du überhaupt gar nichts machen. (14:42) Das kannst du dir nicht aussuchen. (14:44) Ich verfolge den FC und ich liebe meine Kinder.(14:47) Deswegen habe ich große Sympathien für den FC. (14:50) Das Schönste ist ja, im Grunde kannst du ja, (14:52) wenn du zum FC gehst und ich gehe auf zum FC, (14:55) weil ich will ja mal Bundesliga-Fußball auch mal sehen. (14:59) Das Schönste sind ja, das hat Rudi Völler auch mal gesagt, (15:02) der natürlich Leverkusender ist.(15:04) Der hat gesagt, das Schönste beim FC Spiele (15:05) sind die 10 Minuten vom Anpfiff. (15:07) Weil da feiern alle und das ist einmalig. (15:10) Das ist ganz schön.(15:11) Aber Leid und Glück teile ich mit Aminia Bielefeld. (15:15) Wir möchten gleich mal testen, (15:17) Ingolf, wie gut du mit einem Fußball umgehen kannst. (15:20) Und zwar machen wir das hier im Bahnhof, sei gespannt.(15:36) Wir sind ja mitten im Einkaufsbahnhof Köln (15:38) und haben uns in den Fanshop vom FC geschossen. (15:42) Und das muss man sagen, der erste FC Köln (15:43) ist der viertgrößte Verein Deutschlands. (15:45) Hat 50.000 Mitglieder und die Männer haben sich momentan (15:48) an die Spitze der zweiten Liga gekickt.(15:51) Und Ingolf, der Fußball ist für dich ja (15:54) immer bereit hier im Fanshop. (15:56) Und du sollst den FC heute schon (15:58) in die erste Bundesliga-Jean lien. (16:00) Und Ziel ist es, dass du fünfmal den Ball berührst, (16:04) ohne dass der Ball auf den Boden fällt, (16:06) also mit Kopf oder Fuß, ganz egal.(16:08) Die Decke ist hier relativ flach. (16:10) Na gut, dann nehme ich den Schuh. (16:13) Aber ich bin ganz schlecht im Ball hochhalten.(16:15) Wir versuchen das. (16:16) Gut, du hältst den Ball mit beiden Händen noch fest. (16:19) Soll ich den Fuß nehmen oder ich kann natürlich auch die Hand nehmen? (16:21) Das wäre ja zu einfach, oder? (16:24) Ja, aber ich fahre Handball an.(16:25) Ingolf, ich höre nur Ausreden. (16:26) Lass mal einmal bumpen hier, (16:29) dass man auch hört, dass er wirklich ein Ball ist. (16:31) Ja, er ist ein Ball.(16:32) Er ist rot und wies, wie man sagt. (16:35) Dann schauen wir zu, ob es fünfmal gelingt, (16:39) den Ball zu jonglieren. (16:40) Alles gibt es Startzeichen.(16:42) Wäre ich Schiedsrichter, würde ich jetzt pfeifen. (16:45) Ja, okay. (16:46) Eins, zwei, drei.(16:50) Ich versuche eins. (16:51) Ich muss mich erstmal einspielen. (16:53) Ja, ja, ja.(16:54) Aber da war es gut dabei. (16:56) Ich kann das nicht. (16:57) Eins, zwei, sechs, sieben, neunzig, acht, neunzig.(17:02) Aber es hat gut funktioniert. (17:05) Ja, wir haben die fünf Überschritten, (17:07) die wir als Minimum festgelegt haben. (17:09) Wir sind bei sieben gelandet.(17:11) Also bei Ingolf Franzis, 98. (17:13) Ja, ja, ja. (17:15) Es ist so, wenn ich den Ball spüre auf dem Fuß, (17:17) will ich ihn natürlich in das Ecke geschießen (17:20) und will ihn irgendwie dreimal hin und her machen.(17:22) Also da bin ich ganz stürmer und da muss es rein. (17:25) Ball ist da, Tor, ja. (17:27) Oder wie der große Lothar Emmerich seinerzeit gesagt hat, (17:29) auch wenn mich Sticken brechen, Hauptsache Pili ist drin.(17:33) Ich denke mal, bei deiner Kompetenz durfte mit dem Aufstieg alles klargehen. (17:38) Wie stehst du eigentlich zum Frauenfußball? (17:40) Find ich großartig. (17:41) Also was sich da verbessert hat in den letzten Jahren, (17:45) wenn ich das so als Laie beurteilen kann, ist fantastisch.(17:47) Das ist einfach toll. (17:48) Da könnte ich nirgendwo mitspielen, nicht mal zwei Minuten. (17:51) Das würde ich einfach gar nicht aushalten.(17:53) Taktisch ist das unglaublich gut geworden. (17:56) Wir fragen ja nicht ohne Grund, (17:58) denn die FC Frauen halten in derzeitigen Deutschland Rekord (18:01) mit rund 38.000 verkauften Tickets. (18:03) Und dieser eigene Rekord soll am 9. März (18:06) einen Tag nach Frauentag getoppt werden.(18:09) Dann spielen die FC Frauen um 14 Uhr (18:11) im Rhein-Energie-Stadion gegen den deutschen Meister FC Bayern München. (18:14) Ja, und jetzt Achtung, Fan-Alarm. (18:16) Denn in allen FC Fanshops gibt es exklusiv und erstmalig (18:19) ein limitiertes Sondertrikot für die FC Frauen, (18:22) das nur bis zum Spieltag am 9. März gekauft werden kann.(18:26) Und dieses Trikot tragen die FC Frauen auch nur einmalig zu diesem Spiel. (18:30) Ist das eine Idee? (18:31) Ja, das ist toll. (18:32) Also wenn die Vereine Möglichkeiten finden, (18:35) Dinge zu tun, die oftmals dann vielleicht auch noch (18:37) einen kleinen Charity Weihgeschmack haben.(18:39) Also womit ich jetzt nicht sagen will, (18:41) dass Frauenfußball Charity ist. (18:45) Du liebst ja neben Fußball auch noch das Spiel mit dem Wind. (18:49) Du machst Kitesurfen, was ist das genau? (18:52) Kitesurfen, das ist ein Hobby.(18:54) Das ist sowas wie Surfen, nur eben halt mit einem Kite, (18:58) also mit einem Schirm. (19:00) Und da gibt es verschiedene Größen, (19:03) und dann gibt es ein Board und dann geht man aufs Wasser (19:05) und dann lässt man sich vom Wind hier und da hinziehen. (19:09) Und wenn man jünger ist und mutiger ist, (19:12) dann springt man zehn Meter hoch (19:14) und da bin ich aber dann mit neun Metern schon zufrieden meistens.(19:19) Aber wo kann man das in Köln machen? (19:22) Gar nicht. (19:22) Ich mache das an der Nordsee und gelinglich in Ägypten, (19:26) also auch in Holland, überall da, wo Wasser und Wind und Wellen sind. (19:30) Oder auch in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern war ich letztens in Rerik, (19:34) da oben an Kühlingsborn, (19:35) wo es übrigens auch eine fantastische, meine Lieblings-Eisenbahn gibt, (19:39) die Molli.(19:40) Das ist eine Eisenbahn von 1896, die dampft immer noch (19:44) und die hat eine ganz geringe Spurbreite. (19:46) Und da, da kannst du doch mal kind sein. (19:49) Wir ziehen weiter, wir haben noch mehr.(19:51) Zum Beep im Einkaufsbahnhof in Köln und den Ball. (19:55) Den können wir natürlich hier nicht einfach so liegen lassen, (19:58) lieber Ingolf, denn ich denke, (19:59) wir sollten den Fußball zum Fanball machen. (20:01) Würdest du den Fußball signieren? (20:04) Aber selbstverständlich, ja.(20:05) Ich habe jetzt meinen Schabloner nicht dabei, aber ich versuch's. (20:09) Okay, gut. (20:10) Dann halte ich das Mikrofon mal an den Signerstift.(20:13) Ja. (20:14) Und da haben wir ihn. (20:15) Ingolf lögte sich den Ball nähert in dem Anlauf.(20:17) Oh, die Spannung steigt. (20:19) Er hebt den Stift und ja, ja, er hat es. (20:22) Er hat es.(20:23) Ein präziser Strich. (20:24) Ein Meisterwerk der Unterschrift. (20:27) Ja, und die Fans jubeln.(20:28) Sie sind außerrand. (20:29) Und man kann das mal zeigen hier im Geschäft. (20:34) Ein echter Treffer für die Autogrammjäger.(20:37) Und das alles ohne einen einzigen Elfmeter. (20:39) Ist denn das zu fassen? (20:41) Danke Ingolf. (20:42) Sehr gerne.(20:43) So, und den Ball, den lassen wir natürlich hier im Fanshop. (20:46) Vielleicht wird er ja verkauft. (20:48) Und verkauft werden ja aber auch auf alle Fälle (20:50) die limitierten Sondertrikos der FC Frauen (20:52) für das Heimspiel am 9. März, (20:54) die es auch nur bis zum 9. März in allen Fanshops gibt.(20:58) Ja, und geöffnet hat der Shop hier im Einkaufsbahnhof Köln. (21:01) Übrigens, Montag bis Samstag 9 bis 21 Uhr (21:04) und Sonntag 10 bis 19 Uhr. (21:07) Und wir gehen jetzt mit Ingolf Lück (21:09) auf eine ganz, ganz große Bahnhofsbühne.(21:12) Aber zuvor kommen die News aus den Einkaufsbahnhöfen. (21:15) Penz-Pokalsong von Alois. (21:18) Mittensten im offiziellen Video.(21:21) Der Penz-Pokal im Kölner Einkaufsbahnhof (21:24) ist zwar vergeben, aber der Karneval geht in die nächste Runde. (21:27) Denn der eigens für den Penz-Pokal-Geschriebene (21:30) Penz-Pokalsong von Alois sucht Tänzerinnen und Tänzer. (21:34) Im Rahmen eines Gewinnspiels besteht die Chance, (21:37) Teil des offiziellen Musikvideos zu sein.(21:40) Einfach den Tanzen nachtanzen (21:42) und dann das eigene Video bis zum 7. April 2025 hochladen. (21:47) Mehr Infos unter www.einkaufsbahnhof.de (21:58) Check disappear. (22:01) Bahnhof beads 2025.(22:04) Finalisten stehen fest.

(22:23) Folgende Aktien sind unter den Finalisten.(22:26) Wir nennen auch den zugehörigen Bahnhof, in dem die Geräusche aufgenommen wurden. (22:44) Die 5 Songs werden am 27.

(23:05) Alle Infos unter www.einkaufsbahnhof.de (23:08) slash news slash Bahnhof Beats 2025.(23:16) Landesfotoschau Sachsen im Bahnhof Dresden-Neustadt (23:20) Vom 8. bis 11. März 2025 findet im Bahnhof Dresden-Neustadt (23:25) die 13. Landesfotoschau Sachsen des Deutschen Verbands wie Fotografie statt.(23:30) Am Eröffnungstag werden die besten Fotografien um 10 Uhr (23:34) im Rahmen einer Vernissage von Sächsischen Fotoclubs primiert. (23:39) Der Eintritt ist frei. (23:42) Neue Ausstellung zum Tag der seltenen Erkrankungen im Dresdner Hauptbahnhof.(23:47) Noch bis zum 23. März 2025 ist die Ausstellung zum Tag der seltenen Erkrankungen (23:53) im Dresdner Hauptbahnhof zu sehen. (23:56) Unter dem Motto, unsere Kunst macht anderen Mut, (24:00) zeigt die Ausstellung selbst Porträts und Fotografien von Menschen, (24:03) die von diesen Krankheiten betroffen sind.(24:06) Und zum Schluss noch zwei Kurzmitteilungen. (24:09) Bahnhof Rheinheim, der Kiosk Genuss am Gleis, (24:13) hat seit dem 19. Februar 2025 geöffnet.(24:18) Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof, der Relay Store, (24:20) eröffnet mit neuer Optik am 13. März 2025. (24:26) Das waren die News aus den Einkaufsbahnhöfen.(24:29) Damit zurück in den Einkaufsbahnhof Köln zu Ingo und Alex. (24:40) Das waren die News aus den Einkaufsbahnhöfen mit Liwettkötze Hanemann. (24:44) Sie ist die englische Stimme der Bahn in den DB Nahverkehrszügen.(24:47) Und bei uns ist heute der Mann, der viele Gesichter hat, (24:50) ob auf der Bühne oder am TV. (24:51) Die meisten kennen ihn als Komedien Ingolf Lück. (24:58) Und übrigens die Event-Location Wartesaal am Dom, (25:03) bevor wir da zu kommen.(25:04) Ingolf, leg in der, die Satt-Eins-Wochenschau, (25:06) die du ja als Gesicht geprägt hast, (25:09) vor allem als Moderator, Parodist, ironisch-bissiger Nachrichtensprecher, (25:13) wäre so ne Comedy-Show nicht heute geradezu perfekt für die heutige Zeit? (25:18) Ich meine, der Stoff würde euch nie ausgehen. (25:20) Es gibt die heutige Show im ZDF, die sehr erfolgreich ist (25:23) und die sich an ein sehr, sehr treues Publikum wendet. (25:28) Und wie die Wochen-Show, die so ein Polyglotten-Wochen-Rück-Rundumschlag macht, (25:35) ist fast nicht mehr möglich, weil die Interessen der Menschen (25:38) sind viel zu diversifiziert.(25:40) Der eine hat das auf Insta gesehen, der andere nicht. (25:43) Früher war es einfacher. (25:45) Da hatten alle so den gleichen Kenntnis stand (25:46) und man kann natürlich nur Comedy machen, wenn die Leute wissen, worum es geht.(25:50) Deswegen glaube ich, dass das eigentlich die Zeit ein bisschen vorbei ist. (25:54) Im Internet hat man die Möglichkeit, natürlich viel Reichweite zu generieren. (25:57) Liegt denn die Zukunft jetzt ausschließlich in Instagram oder TikTok? (26:01) Ja, ohne die jetzt benennen zu wollen.(26:03) Aber die Streaming-Dienste sind natürlich aktuell bei uns zu Hause. (26:08) Meine Schwester, meine Eltern und ich, da gab es immer Streit um den Fernseher, (26:12) um das Fernsehprogramm. (26:13) Wir hatten ja auch nur einen, aber in meiner Familie gibt es überhaupt (26:16) keinen Streit um das Fernseher, weil die Kids gucken einfach (26:18) kein lineares Fernsehen mehr.(26:21) Das Gute ist, du kannst die Dinge dann schauen, wenn du willst, (26:24) entweder in der Mediathek oder auf den Streaming-Portalen. (26:28) Und das wird sich weiter eben einfach so entwickeln, ganz klar. (26:30) Deine Karriere hat ja nicht gleich auf der Bühne angefangen.(26:34) Du hast ja zunächst Philosophie, Germanistik und Pädagogik studiert. (26:38) Wann hast du gemerkt, ah, ist das Quatsch. (26:41) Ich muss auf die Bühne, ich muss ins Rampenlicht.(26:43) Na, das war schon in der Schule so. (26:46) Wir haben dann im Deutsch-Leistungs-Kurs die Physiker aufgeführt (26:48) und ich habe gedacht, na ja, wie komme ich am besten daran vorbei? (26:51) Und dann habe ich gesagt, na ja, mache ich Regieassistent. (26:53) Da hast du nichts zu tun.(26:55) Dann wird der Lehrer krank, nicht ernsthaft, aber er konnte nicht (26:57) weitermachen. (26:58) Und dann habe ich die Regie übernommen, gezwungen in Anführungsstrichen (27:02) Maßen. (27:02) Und das war eigentlich so ein Initiationsritus.(27:05) Das hat mir dann so sehr gefallen. (27:07) Dann habe ich in Bielefeld mal das Stadttheater besichtigt. (27:11) Und zwar hinter der Bühne und aufstand ich auf der Bühne.(27:14) Und dann habe ich gedacht, poh, das ist ja eigentlich der tolle Ort. (27:17) Das ist der bessere Ort als da unten im Publikum. (27:19) Hier hast du Platz, hier hast du Ruhe.(27:22) Und da habe ich dann eigentlich gemerkt, (27:25) dass ich gerne auf die Bühne will. (27:27) Und schon in der Abiturzeitung, 1978 habe ich Abitur gemacht. (27:32) Da stand bei Ingolf, irgendwann kommt ein Produzent (27:35) und dann komme ich ganz groß raus.(27:37) Dann habe ich mich aber natürlich interessiert, (27:39) auch für, sagen wir mal, Literatur. (27:42) Und im Bielefeld-Stadttheater sagte man, ja, (27:45) du kannst hier anfangen, wenn du willst, als Dramaturk. (27:47) Also der, der Theaterstücke einrichtet, entdeckt, aufbereitet.(27:53) Aber die haben gesagt, ein Studium hilft. (27:55) Und dann habe ich angefangen, Deutsch, Philosophie und Pedagogik zu studieren. (27:59) Also Schulfachpedagogik auf Lehramt.(28:02) Ich habe das auch intensiv betrieben. (28:04) Aber irgendwann habe ich es dann nicht zu Ende gemacht. (28:07) Welcher war denn eigentlich dein aufregender Moment (28:10) auf der Bühne beziehungsweise im TV? (28:12) Als ich 14, 15 war, habe ich Tanzmusik gemacht.(28:15) Mit meinem Onkel Karl Heinz, der spielte Akkordion und Gitarre. (28:19) Er hatte sich so eine Schiffermütze aufgesetzt (28:21) und dann sprach er so mit so einem norddeutschen Akzent, (28:23) obwohl er eigentlich Bielefelder war. (28:25) So, und dann spielten wir immer am Wochenende bei Hochzeiten, (28:30) Sparklubfesten, minderprominenten, Schicksalsschlägen.(28:33) Und ich habe hinten Gitarre gespielt. (28:35) Immer, immer, das hieß aber der junge Musikstudent Ingolf, (28:37) war ich gar nicht. (28:38) Ich hatte aber damals immer das beste MOFA gefahren, (28:42) weil ich ja jeden Abend 100 Mark kriegte.(28:44) Da hatte natürlich den Montag immer ganz kleine Augen. (28:45) Und dann sagte Onkel Heinz, (28:47) so meine sehr fette Damen und Herren, (28:49) und jetzt auf ganz besonderen Wunsch noch einmal den Schneewalzer. (28:53) Und dann habe ich gesagt, (28:54) Onkel Heinz, moment, es hat sich doch niemand den Schneewalzer gewünscht.(28:59) Da dreht er sich ziemlich um und es werde ich nie vergessen. (29:01) Und wer hat gesagt, Ingolf setzt Showbusiness. (29:06) Also, Dinge zu machen, die eigentlich keiner gefordert hat, (29:10) die vielleicht auch gar keiner wünscht, aber einfach zu behaupten, (29:13) das ist es jetzt.(29:14) Und das war auch so ein Initiationsritus, (29:16) und den werde ich nie vergessen. (29:18) Du bist in diesem Jahr auf Tour, momentan ja mit Seite 1, (29:22) ein Theaterstück für einen Mann und ein Smartphone. (29:25) Ganz kurz, worum geht es da? (29:27) Da spiele ich einen Boulevard-Jonger-Listen, (29:29) der eine junge Frau überredet, auf die Seite 1 zu kommen (29:33) und da sehr vielen Opfern.(29:35) Also, ich spiele in Arschloch, (29:38) wobei meine Frau sagt, Arschloch, (29:40) ich spiele. (29:41) Und die ganzen Boulevard-Jonger-Listen, (29:43) wenn man in Hamburg, in Berlin spielt, (29:45) die kommen dann hinterher und sagen, ich weiß schon, (29:47) du hast mich gemeint. (29:49) Also, das ist ein Monolog, ein Ernstesprogramm, (29:52) es ist ein Theaterstück, macht riesengroßen Spaß.(29:56) Ja, ich habe ja noch ein Kabarett-Programm,

WHO KNOWS WHAT EVIL LURKS IN THE HEARTS OF MEN?Thirty years ago this past summer, director Russell Mulcahy (Highlander, Ricochet) presented the answer to that question with a heavily hyped, lavish adaption of the popular radio show and comic strip of the same name from the '30's and 40's.....and audiences didn't seem to care, neither did critics for that matter.  However over time, this art-deco fantasy action thriller has garnered a bit of a cult following thanks to it very strong cast, catchy score (from the late, great Jerry Goldsmith) and some undeniably fun images and set pieces.  Alec Baldwin stars as Lamont Cranston, millionaire playboy who also moonlights as....The Shadow, fighting crime and getting to the bottom of evil conspiracies throughout his home city of New York.  John Lone co-stars as the main villain Shiwan Khan (a distant descendent of Genghis Khan), Penelope Ann Miller also co-stars as mysterious psychic Margo Lane, along with Sir Ian McKellen as her father Dr. Reinhardt Lane.  The stacked cast also includes Tim Curry, Jonathan Winters, and Peter Boyle.  It's time to find out.....what THE SHADOW knows..... :o   See below for a link to the official Taylor Dane video of a truly original song performed for this film's soundtrack:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXpWfd1BNkQHost: Geoff GershonEdited By Ella GershonProducer: Marlene GershonSend us a texthttps://livingforthecinema.com/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/Living-for-the-Cinema-Podcast-101167838847578Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/livingforthecinema/Letterboxd:https://letterboxd.com/Living4Cinema/

On Episode 227, we are joined by the acclaimed music writer Bob Stanley, the man behind one of Niall's favourite books Yeah Yeah Yeah: The Story of Modern Pop and a member of indie-pop group St. Etienne.To celebrate 10 years of Faber Books are reissuing Yeah Yeah Yeah (with a new chapter taking it up to present day) , along with its prequel Let's Do It: The Birth of Pop (the definitive story of the birth of Pop, from 1900 to the mid-fifties), both on paperback.Along with the books, Bob Stanley also put together a compilation for Ace Records called Latin Freestyle - New York/Miami 1983 - 1992, in his words a crashing electro-funk sub genre of dance music. It was the aural equivalent of a can of thirst-quenching Quatro or a Spanish Harlem dance-off, and it became the electronically constructed bridge between disco and house.Latin Freestyle grew out of electro, and was a more female-fronted classic pop version with frequently Latina vocals, bleepy synth riffs, proto-house piano lines, drum machine hits and lyrics that harked back to '60s girl groups teenage concerns of heartbreak, boys and dancing. We talk to Bob about the books and this subgenre of electro music that developed in New York and Miami in the early 80s and included Madonna, Debbie Deb, Shannon, Alisha, Company B, Lisa Lisa, Exposé, Taylor Dane and went on to influence music from the Bee Gees' Robin Gibb, Pet Shop Boys, Freeez and more.A playlist of Latin Freestyle accompanies this episode on Patron.

I've not always been a fan of mashups (Madonna's Mashed Potatoes) but the opening number of Music and Disco Inferno was brilliant and had me hooked. Love it." - Steve C., 5/26/22   “I really liked the remixers taking time to talk at the beginning of the broadcast (Madonna's Mashed Potatoes). Loved the brand new mixes made especially for this from Lukesavant and NEPH.EW! Absolute class! In addition, it's always nice to hear DJ Kerry talking and real fun hearing "M" pop into the studio too." - Mary H. C., 5/26/22   “Any fan of DJ Kerry John Poynter's is most likely a fan of Madonna!! The Queen is an artist like no other, and remixing perfection is a big undertaking.

Welcome to The Come Up, a podcast that interviews entrepreneurs and leaders. Damian Pelliccione:Cut to November, around Thanksgiving of 2015. I was playing a new Apple TV. You install it on your TV and you search for apps of apps that are of interest to you. I searched lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer. Nothing came up. I was like, ding. The light bulb went off. This is it. We're going to create the first LGBT streaming network. I had Alia, LaShawn, and Chris in my living. I said, "I have this idea. What do you guys think?" They were like, "Yeah, let's do it. We're all in." Chris Erwin:This week's episode features Damian Pelliccione, the co-founder and CEO of Revry. Damian was born in Canada, and since a young age had a passion for the creative arts. So he passed on taking over his family's large cheese and food distribution business, and moved to New York City to study acting and production. But after the tragic events of 9/11, Damian decided to move to LA and became an early mover and shaker in digital video. He did it all, from early web streaming and YouTube production, to producing live streams at car shows, and even running his own digital workshops. Chris Erwin:In 2015, Damian was sitting in his living room with three friends, frustrated by the fact that there wasn't any queer streamer apps on platforms like Apple TV or Amazon Prime, so he decided to change that and soon after launched the first 24/7 queer streamer network, Revry TV. Chris Erwin:Damian and I get into a lot of different things during our chat. Some highlights include how a delayed mortgage and the launch of the QueerX festival almost cost Damian the company, the wild success of grassroots marketing at San Francisco Pride, why Damian was such a standout at one of my executive dinners in LA, and changing the narrative for the queer community. Chris Erwin:All right, I'm pumped that we get to publish this episode during Pride month. Let's get to it. Chris Erwin:Damian, thanks for being on the podcast. Damian Pelliccione:Thanks so much, Chris, for having me. It's exciting to be here. Chris Erwin:Awesome. Let's rewind a bit. Why don't you tell me about where you grew up and what your household was like. Damian Pelliccione:Yeah, so I grew up actually in Canada. I'm from Toronto, a suburb of Toronto actually called Unionville, which is a small town, colonial, turn of the century, Victorian home that I grew up that was built in the later 1800s. It was a wonderful place to grow up because it was extremely multicultural. There was definitely not one of anything in terms of race and culture. Ironically enough, even though my family is extremely Italian, my father was actually born in Italy and immigrated at six years old to escape World War II. He was the youngest of six. Both my nonna and nonno, which is Italian for grandmother and grandfather- Chris Erwin:Oh, I'm Italian as well. Damian Pelliccione:Really? Chris Erwin:My mother was born in Italy, in Trieste, on what used to be the Yugoslavian border. I know nonna and pop pop. That's my grandparents. Damian Pelliccione:Parli Italiano? Chris Erwin:No. My mom spoke Italian growing up, and spoke it with my grandmother, but never taught the children. To this day, we always give my mom crap about that. Damian Pelliccione:[inaudible 00:03:33]. This is where my talking with my hands, that is completely my Italian [crosstalk 00:03:39]. Chris Erwin:It's all coming together now. Damian Pelliccione:All coming together, yeah. My family, my dad, was from [inaudible 00:03:46], which is in the [inaudible 00:03:49] province of Abruzzo. Unfortunately it was ravaged by a massive earthquake in the early 2000s. Since recovered, but we still have family there. I have cousins actually there. My dad... cross section of Damian is my dad was the entrepreneur in the family. Him and my uncle started the family business, which is huge in Canada. We're, I think in the top five biggest Italian cheese distributors to Canada. Chris Erwin:Wow. Damian Pelliccione:They obviously distribute to the United States as well. They built that from scratch, my dad and my uncle, and now all my cousins run the company. I had no interest in selling cheese. Chris Erwin:Was the opportunity was available to you and you were just like, "Ah, pass"? Damian Pelliccione:Of course. In a big Italian family, the opportunity was given to me and my sister. Both of us past. My sister, Kelly, was definitely going into a different sector than sales and cheese distribution. It's ironic, because I'm in distribution, but I'm more on the film and TV side of distribution, not the food side of distribution. Definitely was very inspired by my father, who was a tremendous salesman, and an entrepreneur who ran his own businesses and obviously started the big family business with my uncle. Damian Pelliccione:Then, ironically enough, my mother is also Italian, but she is third generation. Her and her parents were born in Canada. Her grandparents were born in Italy, a different part of Italy, too. Calabria, which is the heel of Italy, just across from Sicily. It's a little bit different in terms of Italian traditions between the two families, but obviously my mom and my dad are wonderful people. My mother was a politician. She was chairman of the Catholic school board. So was my father, actually, before my mother was. She ran the race relations committee in our city where we grew up. You can see, my mother was a politician, and my father, the entrepreneur, and out comes Damian. Chris Erwin:Yeah, I was going to say, I was like, it makes total sense because I think about, you're the ultimate showmen. You have incredible charisma. I remember that from when we first met at one of our executive dinners. Then the entrepreneurial bend, now I know where that comes from. Yeah, totally get it now. Damian Pelliccione:One of the biggest things, you know Toronto. Most of my family lives in Woodbridge, or Vaughan, which is extremely Italian, predominantly Italian. My mother and my father were very much, this is instilled in me and my sister growing up, about being respectful and understanding and learning about all races, religions, and cultures and walks of life. They chose Unionville, which is a part of town where it was very eclectic. I had friends from all over the world, whose families were immigrants from all over the world. I had so many different cultural upbringings. My parents even made me and my sister, even though I was raised Catholic... I'm not very practicing myself. I consider myself Agnostic, but made us go to all the different: Hindu, Jewish, Islam, all the different sects to see what that religion could provide. Chris Erwin:Would you actually go to their places of worship? Damian Pelliccione:Yeah. I went once or twice to multiple places of worship my mother would take me and my sister to because she wanted us to experience everybody. I think that is where, at least for me, it was instilled at a very young age, were authenticity, diversity, and inclusion, before it was even a thing. This is the late 80s, early 90s. I'm 40 years old now. That was always a part of my upbringing. I think it's ironic where you have a mother politician, father, entrepreneur, and very inclusive family in terms of how we were raised and outcomes Damian and Revry. Chris Erwin:Your mother was super ahead of the times giving you exposure to these different religions and different cultures early on. I get that. I see that as a seed for what you're doing for the overall queer community, trying to drive awareness and inclusion and change the message around queer culture. I think that's brilliant. Chris Erwin:I think that you are involved in the dramatic arts and the school for film and TV at an early age as well. Was this something that came out in your teen years, or before then? When did that start to be? Damian Pelliccione:I was a scene stealer before I was even five years old. I think my performance started at family functions where I have some cousins, and we're all born the same year. I would direct and create the family productions. The kids would get together and we would put on some kind of a show, where it was a musical number, a comedy, or whatever. We would perform for the whole family in the living room. I did this growing up, I think until the time I was 10 or 12 years old. We made that a fun family activity. Of course that led me into being an actor, and I started with community theater, just like anyone else does in Unionville or Markham, Ontario, where I'm from. Damian Pelliccione:From there, I auditioned for the Arts York program, which is part of Unionville High School. Unionville High School ironically enough had this arts program that was to take kids from all over the region, so not just by town, but other surrounding townships who specialize in music or dance, or visual arts, or drama. I was accepted to the drama program and had the most amazing inspirational teachers. These folks are still family members of mine. They inspired me in so many ways to stay in the arts and stay in drama. My passion when I was a teenager and into my early 20s was to be an actor. That's what led me to New York City. I got into the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and graduated from that program in 2001. Damian Pelliccione:Then 9/11 happened, and I had already booked a gig in Los Angeles. I was going to do this actor showcase for agents and managers and casting directors. I had a really good friend, one of my good friends from high school, is Hayden Christiansen, who is, as you know, Darth Vader. Hayden, like, come to LA, you should come to LA. I came to LA. Did the showcase, stayed on his couch I think for one or two nights and at a hotel and with other friends. Before the end of the week, I had been booked. I had been booked on a short. Got a commercial agent, got a theatrical agent. Chris Erwin:Okay, interjection. Along this journey, was your family supportive, or were they increasingly questioning, like, Damian, we have ae family cheese business, why are you not involved? Everyone else is here, what are you doing? Damian Pelliccione:No, they've been supportive the whole way through of my career. I am very lucky and blessed. They've been supportive of me, as a queer man, and they also have been supportive of Chris and I, my partner. They've been extremely supportive of my career. They knew, I think, what they were getting into at an early age, that this was pathway, was to be in entertainment. They helped my entire journey, both financially... I was very lucky, and I'm blessed that I had that opportunity. And even my immigration to the United States, because remember, I'm not an American citizen. I am now. I only became an American citizen three years ago now. They have been extremely supportive of my career the entire time, and supporting me early on and when I was in college, obviously financially, and then also with my move to Los Angeles. And then from there, I did what every other actor does. I waited tables for probably almost 10 years. Chris Erwin:You're at Hayden Christiansen's, on his couch, and then all of a sudden you start getting booked. You get an agent, so you're like, okay, this is happening for me. My career is taking off, right? Damian Pelliccione:Here's what's funny. After I finished school in New York, which is a two year program at ADA, I made a deal with my parents. I had been accepted to Concordia University in Montreal for philosophy, which ironically enough I had failed in high school. I'm like this is kind of funny that they accepted me for philosophy. I packed up my apartment in New York. This is, again, a month after 9/11. The decision was if I don't book an agent or manager or things don't start to feel like they're going to pick up in Los Angeles, then I'll go to Montreal, and I'll tell the movers to take my stuff to Montreal, or take my stuff to Los Angeles. Damian Pelliccione:I got lucky. They took my stuff to Los Angeles, and that was October of 2001. It was a crazy time to be in Hollywood. It was an exciting time to be 20 years old and moving to LA, and just hitting the ground running. I think one of the biggest things is that I've always had commitment to everything that I do, good or bad. I think that that has been my greatest life lesson. It was an exciting time. It was back when there was still pilot season, and you test for pilots. I tested for a bunch of pilots, and back when the casting process wasn't about your Instagram influence or your Facebook, or your YouTube. It was well before all those times. It was the old school... I think I even still have my black and white, 8 x 10 head shots that they had from that era. It was an exciting time. Damian Pelliccione:Look, when you're 20 years old, and I was also coming out at the time as gay and queer, it was a great place to be for me, both professionally and socially. Chris Erwin:In terms of pursuing your career, where do you start to hone in, which is like okay, of all the different types of acting or genre or projects that I can do, where were you starting to lean into more? Damian Pelliccione:Like I was saying, my early 20s was all about acting. I auditioned for a bunch of things, worked with agencies. My biggest booking to date was the Gilmore Girls. I actually had one pretty big scene with Alexis Bledel, and a character whose name was Lance. It was season five. I still have... well people and friends and family who watch it on Netflix, marathon watch it. They're like, "Oh my God." They'll screenshot it with their phone and send me a text. I still get residual checks from that show, because it's such a legacy project, right? It was wonderful to do that. I had done a bunch of independent. I had done a bunch of commercials. I had a pretty decent resume as an actor, but then the writer's strike happened in 2009, and it changed. Damian Pelliccione:That's when there was a dramatic shift. My roommate at the time, Deanna Nicole Baxter, who is a true inspiration of mine, had started to create a web series. This is 2006. Remember for context, YouTube launched in 2005, 2006. Chris Erwin:Is this like lonelygirl around that time, too? Damian Pelliccione:Before. Chris Erwin:Before, wow. Damian Pelliccione:This is [inaudible 00:13:44] 88, which won the first daytime technical Emmy for best broadband drama. I saw Deanna do it, and I was completely inspired by her commitment for work and the team that she had. I was like, oh, she can do it, I can do it. I'm always inspired by other people. I surrounded myself with amazing like-minded friends who I still have today, who have always been supportive. We've always supported each other's work along the way. This is my chosen family, as we say in the gay community. It's also, we need to inspire each other to push ourselves to do more. Deanna was one of those, and still today, is a big inspiration for how I lead. Seeing her win the first ever Emmy, was, hey, if she can do it, I'm going to do it. I created a web series vehicle for myself, called Homolebrity. Chris Erwin:Wait, hold on. Wait, hold on. Homolebrity? Damian Pelliccione:Homolebrity, yeah. It's not a very PC name for today, but the idea was to play off the reality boom at the time, and queer celebrity and the reality boom. I remember I was pitching it to Logo, which had just launched as well in 2007 in hopes that we'd get our own TV deal. Bright eyes, big hopes. The whole thing was, regardless of it just going to the web, we did it. We did another one. We did a superhero fantasy show called [inaudible 00:15:04]. We just, I kept producing and producing and producing, and eventually I wasn't putting myself in it, because people are like, "Oh, you're a great producer." Chris Erwin:Were you self distributing, or were you distributing through third-parties? Damian Pelliccione:Oh yeah. No, we were self distributing, just like everybody else. You would call it, I guess user generated content, but we were doing it on a bigger scale and a lot more scripted. It was a really exciting time, and I just got really good at producing. Here's where the transition happened, and I transitioned out of being an actor and being a producer. I produced for other people, and more projects. Damian Pelliccione:I started our own little production company. I remember my first office, which is right at 5th and Spring, because I had a loft in downtown. This is now, cut to 2007-2008. I had a couple of friends. One was an editor and a shooter. The other one was a producer as well. We had this office that was 150 square feet, one room, [inaudible 00:15:58], and three desks. We were like, we're going to be a production company. We just started producing stuff. We produced things for broadband TV and we produced things for YouTube. Some of them we got paid for, and some of them we didn't. We produced Illeana Douglas with Easy to Assemble. I think it was her second or third season. It was a lot of folks who were, they saw and recognized our skillset for user generated content and specifically the web. That was our first office. Chris Erwin:You transitioned from an actor to a producer. Then you're having more and more projects. Some you're getting paid for. Where do you think this is headed? In this moment when you're like, I'm on my way to be a film producer. Damian Pelliccione:That was literally what I was thinking. I'm like, I'm on my way to be a film producer, and I love the journey, and I love production. Even just now, I produced something in house for us last week and every time I get to be on set it reminds me about my passion for even just being a producer and how much fun it is. Then afterwards, we did this for awhile and produced a whole bunch of work, a lot of editorial content, broadband TV, when broadband had been around different areas and different cities. Damian Pelliccione:You could bid for different stories or pitch them stories, very much like a newsroom. That was really exciting. We did a bunch of different op ed pieces and exciting pieces. We even, I remember covering the... this is so funny. I was covering Prop 8 in the 2008 elections, the proposition for equality marriage. There was this big rally in downtown Los Angeles, and it was a lot of Yes on 8, and for context, Yes on 8 was you're anti gay marriage. No on 8 was you're pro gay marriage. I was at a Yes on 8 rally, and I thought I was undercover. I was with my friend, Logan, who produced a show called The Yellow Mic. I was interviewing people and asking them questions about why are you voting yes, and tell us your theories, and collecting the other side of the story, which is really interesting. Damian Pelliccione:Then all of a sudden, the police are like, "We're going to put up blockades in the No on 8 people." They stopped the intersection and there was Yes on 8, No on 8 people across the aisle yelling and screaming and holding up their signage and marching. All of a sudden, Sacha Baren Cohen shows up. He did a film where he was the gay character. He shows up. No one knows who he is, and we were the only who had cameras. I'm like, "Oh my God, that's Sacha Baren Cohen." We got him doing it. We were the only ones with cameras. I remember the next morning we sold it to the news and TMZ. That was my foray into being a paparazzi, which was kind of exciting. It ran on, I think KTLA even and TMZ the next day. Chris Erwin:Oh wow. Where does this lead you, Damian? You're being opportunistic. What's the next major step as you're working your way to eventually be the founder of Revry? Damian Pelliccione:The next step was I worked at Dogma Studios, [inaudible 00:18:41] who was my CEO there saw something in me. Started producing a lot of great content, did stuff with Taylor Dane, Taylor [inaudible 00:18:48] who has since passed, and some great comedians. Dogma, of course, happened during the recession in 2009. I only got to be there for a year, and Scott cut our department. But Scott's like, "Hey, we have this great space. Do something with it." The next thing that I created was with Deanna, which was web TV workshop, which was literally, we're like, hey, what do people do in a recession? They go back to learning new skills. We created our own, tried to produce content for the web with an Emmy award winning actress, writer, director, Deanna Nicole Baxter, and Damian Pelliccione, entrepreneur and web producer as well. Chris Erwin:Was it an early master class, like you sold these as tutorial videos? Damian Pelliccione:Not even videos. We did videos a year later, but we were doing it brick and mortar, where on Tuesday nights every week, or Tuesday/Thursday nights, and we had [inaudible 00:19:36] speak and then [inaudible 00:19:38] speak. [inaudible 00:19:38] we had speakers... like lonelygirl from [inaudible 00:19:41]. Everybody, they all come and speak in the class and we would have different topics ranging from production, all the way to the distribution and understanding the technology and YouTube. It was an eight week course. We were packed. We were full. We did that for a year, and then we created an online version, which now you can still on [inaudible 00:19:58], which was shot, I think in 2000, oh my God, '10 or '11. They still use it on their website. Yeah, it was an exciting time, and that took us into technology. Damian Pelliccione:From there, just to bridge the gap to Revry, Deanna and I were approached an Israeli casting startup called Audish, which was a self casting website, because now we're going into the world of not having to do self casting, which is now the norm, and shooting yourself and making sure it's all final. I was head of business development and user experience. Deanna was head of sales and marketing. Chris Erwin:Is this the first time that you're working for somebody else, or a startup? Because before it's like these are your own projects. Damian Pelliccione:Yeah, Dogma was, they were more of a post house, and I worked for them. They were established. They were not a startup, but yes, this was the first time working for a startup. It was Audish. It was super fun. We'd work at the founder's house in West Hollywood in the Hills, and we were this small team. We just loved it. Then from there we got approached by another startup, which was kind of doing something similar, another Israeli casting startup called eTribez which still exists. Then from there, I got approached by Chevy and Cadillac to do auto shows, both domestic and abroad. In the auto shows I was doing, I was product present. They put me on stage on what those rotating stages to talk about the cars. Chris Erwin:How did they find you? How did Chevy and Cadillac say, "We think Damian's going to be a great showman to sell our cars?" How does that come to be? Damian Pelliccione:I had a friend who worked for the agency, and the agency saw some of my work and said, "Hey do you want to do this?" I'm like, "Hell yeah, I get to travel the country." It was good pay. Then through that work, I suggested, "Hey, you know what you should do? Put a camera up connected to your GM website." Then all of a sudden it became this whole big thing about streaming these presentations. I was the first one to suggest this. This is 2013. You got 250,000 people coming through the Chicago Auto Show or the Detroit Auto Show. Put a camera in front of it and show the rest of the world what's happening here. That was huge. Then from there, they sent me to Geneva. They're like, "Oh, can you go do this for Cadillac in Geneva?" I'm like, "Sure, yeah. Why not? I've never been to Switzerland." I did it for a year. It was really exciting. GM is super, super corporate. I'll leave it at that. Damian Pelliccione:Then I found myself back in startup. The startup that I ended up leaving GM and Cadillac for was a German streaming company called Make.TV. I promise, this is the last one before I get to Revry. I'm giving you my entire resume right now. Chris Erwin:No, it's a great story. Damian Pelliccione:Make.TV, which has since been acquired by LTM group, I was head of VD for North America. Then someone got pregnant in Germany and they get a four year option. They gave me Globe. During my time there, I created a partnership with YouTube Space LA in New York. I actually trained creators at Space LA and Space New York on how to use this proved technology. It was a proven vendor of YouTube on how to stream live, and using multi cam and all that great stuff. I really got my feet wet with SaaS, and SaaS tech ed. I knew everybody in the YouTube market, all the influencers, all the execs, all the players, all the Space people in New York and LA, even in Space Dubai and Space Japan. It was really cool. They sent me all over the world. I went to Dubai for [inaudible 00:23:08]. I went to Singapore for broadcast Asia. Of course I was always at IBC in Amsterdam. I always at NAB here in Vegas. I went to all the entertainment tech shows and met everybody, and really understood the technology in a way and where it was going. Damian Pelliccione:I did that with Make.TV up until 2016, so almost three years, two and a half years. Chris Erwin:Were you developing a relationship as, okay, Damian is one of the preeminent digital producers, also with a specialty in live streaming as well? That was the brand you were creating for yourself. Damian Pelliccione:And understanding the technology, first and foremost. Going to all these technical trade shows, you're in front of all the new SaaS tech players, which used to when you went to NAB, a small section of one of the convention room floors. Now it's multiple floors, because it's all software. It's no longer hardware. Software and SaaS obviously in streaming is so huge. We were very OG SaaS tech streaming technology. Definitely carved a space for my knowledge. I just love this stuff. It was combining my love of technology and producing and content and entertainment into distribution and understanding really the ins and outs of how technology effectuates the consumer experience, and how that was my vision of how that would shift. Of course all of the things I thought of back then are all now definitely coming true today, or are already at fruition. Chris Erwin:Hey, listeners. This is Chris Erwin, your host of The Come Up. I have a quick ask for you. If you dig what we're putting down, if you like the show, if you like our guests, it would really mean a lot if you can give us a rating wherever you listen to our show. It helps other people discover our work, and it also really supports what we do here. All right, that's it everybody. Let's get back to the interview. Chris Erwin:Damian, I think next up is that you found Revry with three other co-founders. Tell me about that. Damian Pelliccione:Ironically enough, I was in Germany prepping for IBC in Amsterdam. I only speak a few words in German, and there's nothing to watch. There's not that much English content on TV that was in my hotel room. I watched the Apple broadcast every September, and then even when it was... before I'd even watch it every September when they had the new product launches with Steve Jobs, who's a hero of mine. Damian Pelliccione:I saw the announcement of the Apple TV, and specifically TV OS, the new operating system. I was like, wow, this is going to be huge. This is going to change TV. I see something here. I want to build something. I was inspired to do something. Of course, I didn't know what right away, right? It hadn't dawned on me. Damian Pelliccione:Cut to November, around Thanksgiving of 2015. When Chris, my partner, broke his iPhone, the glass on the iPhone. You used to go to the Apple store and they'd fix it there for you. Apple Care. I was playing a new Apple TV, and Alia, who is now my co-founder and our COO, she had gotten it in October when it came out. She's like, "It's super cool. You should get it. You should get it." Damian Pelliccione:I bought it, and you install it on your TV at home, and you search for apps, just like when you get an iPhone that's blank, of apps that are of interest to you. I searched lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer. Nothing came up. I was like, ding. The light bulb went off. I was like, this is it. We're going to create the first LGBTQ streaming network. I had Alia, LaShawn and Chris in my living. I said, "I have this idea. What do you guys think?" They were like, "Yeah, let's do it. We're all in." Chris Erwin:That just sounds so easy, because many people will say, "Oh yeah, I was recruiting them and they had different jobs, and someone just had a baby. They have financial obligations." But you guys, you're sitting in a room. You tell them the idea, and they're like, "Yeah, let's do it." Damian Pelliccione:I think everyone, besides... I'm just an entrepreneur who's crazy and has all the ideas. One of out of ten works. This is the one that's worked the biggest, in the biggest way. Alia wanted to be in entertainment. She was an attorney, went to law school with Chris. Her background is more small business and startup and employment law. I think she was over working at the firm she was at. Damian Pelliccione:LaShawn, besides being an Army veteran, woman of color like Alia, she is a graduate of the American Film Institute for editorial. She knows all the editorial, and she's our Chief Product Officer, is amazing at what she does in terms of spinning up channels. She was working on a freelance project, editing a film at the time. She was ready for the next big challenge. Damian Pelliccione:Chris, who was I think the most interesting story, he was the attorney for Shark Tank, and even worked on People's Choice awards. That was his biggest legal job. Prior to that he was at Original Productions doing a lot of the reality TV production contractions. When you're on a studio like that, it's not necessarily the most exciting thing. Depending on who your bosses were at the time... that's all I'm going to say about that. They're not necessarily the nicest people to work for. He was ready for a change. He's like, "This wasn't what I thought it was going to be." Damian Pelliccione:It's also difficult when I'm the one that's all over the place doing a whole bunch of different jobs. I'm like, "Let's quit both of our jobs, make no money for five years, and start this startup." Chris will tell you, it's the greatest decision he's ever made his entire life, the same with Alia and LaShawn. What we have built and what we have accomplished in five years consumer basing, this June, when we first started marketing our product at San Francisco Pride in 2016, drove ourselves up to SF, because gay capital of the world. Bigger Pride than Los Angeles, of course. We had a lot of friends up there that were going, so we're like why not? It's going to be a fun weekend. Self printed pink tshirts with a horrible old Revry logo on it. Giant postcard size fliers. I don't know why we thought that was a good idea. We hit the streets handing out the fliers. Chris Erwin:What were you promoting? Damian Pelliccione:Download our app, download our app, download our app. Just download our app and watch some great content. For those who you know, San Francisco, everyone parties in Delores Park on the Saturday before the Sunday of the parade. We were just walking through Delores Park handing out fliers with these hideous pink tshirts, fuchsia tshirts on with the Revry logo, old school Revry logo. People are like, "Oh, what street marketing team do you work for?" I'm like, "No, that's the CBO, that's the CPO, that's the COO. I'm the CEO." They're like, "What?" They're like, "You must really believe in what you do." I'm like, "No, we totally do." We were positing it on the porta potty stalls. We were trying to stick them up to walls and on posts. Damian Pelliccione:By the end of the weekend, we ended up getting booked on Oakland News. Two days later, San Francisco News. Bay Area News. Chris Erwin:What was the reception as you were telling people in the streets in Delores Park about Revry? Did they immediately get it? Were they confused? Damian Pelliccione:They got it, and they downloaded it, and they were watching stuff. They were subscribing. Again, this is the easiest sell, because it's queer capital of the world and San Francisco, tech capital of the world. They totally were in it to win it. I think they were just more astounded by our commitment, and that we're doing it in a very nontraditional, grassroots way. Damian Pelliccione:By the end of that weekend, had a friend of a friend of a friend who introduced us to Mac World. He was queer. He was a writer for Mac World. He's like, "I got to do a story on you." He did the interview that weekend. It didn't come out until about a month later, but once it was published, it was instantaneous downloads that rippled into 10 different languages and 100 different media publications, because Mac World is such a major player that we were the first LGBTQ TV OS app ever created for Apple TV. Damian Pelliccione:Even today, I will say we are bound to be featured again on IOS this next month in June. Everyone at Apple are big fans of Revry, and they keep featuring us, which I'm very happy about. I said it in this interview. If Tim Cook is listening, my ultimate dream is to have lunch with him in Cupertino at the Spaceship. I would fly up there in a heartbeat if he said yes. We'll see. You never know. Dream. Dream big. Chris Erwin:I think that's something I've seen in tracking your business over the last couple years since I first met you at that dinner, was that your resilience, persistence, and passion just always pays off. You've gotten a lot of nose in raising money and pitching partnerships, but then you call me three, six months later, and you're like, "I ended up getting that partnership. Yeah, we just got a check. Yeah, we just closed that round." Feels like the Tim Cook lunch in Cupertino is coming up. I'm excited to get that call from you. Damian Pelliccione:You'll be the first one to know, for sure. Chris Erwin:You mentioned that you launched QueerX in 2016. I want to hear about that, and then there's a pretty crazy moment in 2018 when you were running out of money. You had to do some unique financing structures to figure it out. Tell us about that. Damian Pelliccione:We're crazy. We launched two things at the same time. The former name of it was Out Web Fest. Then we rebranded to QueerX in 2019. We launched our own festival, kind of playing off the LGBT film festival circuit, but more focused on the short form side. Digital content, shorts, music videos, things that are typically not as publicized as feature films in the LGBTQ film festival consumer markets. Damian Pelliccione:We wanted to carve out that space and really highlight these new up and coming emerging voices. The big caveat to this was this is a great way to connect, create, an experiential event, create community, and also find content for Revry. At the end of the day, this is how we even seeded our application at the early stages, because folks were excited not to play in the festival. I would say about 50-60% were also excited to license us their content. It became a tool to curate content for our platform. Damian Pelliccione:Cut to 2018, an investor didn't write a check when we thought they were going to. That was going to be a thing that was going to float the festival. I was two weeks out from the festival, freaking out trying to figure out how to raise $10,000. I ended up getting a creative mortgage. I say that because it was a hard money loan, and not that it has interest... not terrible. I think at the time it was only 6%, but definitely- Chris Erwin:That's pretty good for hard money. Damian Pelliccione:Yeah, definitely on the high end, but because my credit wasn't the greatest, because when you start a business your finances drop a little bit. You're not making as much money. You're taking a pay cut. That was the only available loan to me, but I was able to close it quick enough to be able to float what we needed for the festival. I remember how stressful that was and tears and joy when it did all come through. That's I think the testament to our resilience. That's just one story. There's multiple stories on how... not to get too down in the weeds, but how anytime we were close, and this is any startup has this problem, running out of money or close to the end of your burn or your runway, and you're like, "Oh shit, when is the next check going to come in? Is that investor really going to come through the door and cross the line? Are we going to get the revenue we need?" These are the stressors of your first five years. Damian Pelliccione:Then eventually as time goes on and you sustain, you get... this becomes less and less of an issue. I can count at least two or three moments in time with Revry where I thought we were going to go bankrupt, or we weren't going to be able to pay our payroll, or whatever. There is always some saving grace, whether it was my home and our mortgage, that first time, or an investor that just came out of nowhere that then we would be able to get a check from to be able to sustain the difference in what we weren't making up in our burn for revenue. That's been kind of our mode, that and staying lean and really understanding how to run a business and scale a business with not a lot of money. We are four minorities. We represent veteran, LGBTQ, Latina, African American women, immigrant. I do consider myself non-binary. Chris Erwin:Just to be clear, these are the four co-founders of Revry. I think it's the most diverse founding team that I've ever worked with or been exposed to. Damian Pelliccione:That's our superhero strength. Because we represent so many different cultural, racial, sexual identities, gender identities and backgrounds, I think is a testament to our resilience, our skillset, and our ability to move at a really fast pace. We even got knocked in the beginning from being four co-founders. They're like, "It's never going to work. Someone's going to drop out. Something's not going to happen," whatever. It's like being in a rock band, I always say. It's like if you can get past your first few years, you probably can sustain. Damian Pelliccione:Alia, LaShawn, Chris, and I are very close. We even have founders night out once a month, just social time for the four of us. We support each other in every possible way of our business. I am saying, I proved all the nay sayers wrong that no, you can have four co-founders. You can diversity and inclusion. We believe that diversity and inclusion starts, authentic leadership starts from ownership. That's why we're four equal co-founders. No one owns any more equity than the next person. We leave from that pillar when I'm talking to a tech partner or a vendor, when I'm talking to a content creator, filmmaker, or distribution company. When we're talking to, even advertisers, like Lexus or [inaudible 00:35:53] who we work with, the main pillar and mission with our company is true reflection, authenticity, and diversity, and inclusion within our community. Damian Pelliccione:Because the great thing about being LGBTQ or queer, we like to add queer. We're adopting unapologetically queer, is that you're not one race. You're not one gender. You're not one sexual orientation. You're not one cultural background. You're not one language. Queer exists all over the world. This is a really exciting moment for us, and the rest of the world, and the entertainment business to be embracing what we're doing with Revry in such a big way where we've got some pretty big wins coming down the pipeline which we'll have announcements for in Pride month in June. Chris Erwin:Which leads to the next question of what is next for Revry? Now that you've been doing this, I think you said, for the past five years that you've now been officially consumer facing, right, with the product in the market, tell us how many different apps, how much programming do you have? Let's fast forward three to five years out. Where are you headed? Damian Pelliccione:Yeah, so right now Revry is available in over 280 million households and devices. That is our reach. This is our sweat equity over the last three years, and really understanding the market and the differential between... we call ourselves a trihybrid of fast, free, ad supported streaming TV, AVOD, ad video on demand, and SVOD, subscription video on demand. We started as a subscription video on demand platform when SVOD was not as big of a thing as it was today, and building that subscription audience. That was hard. Now today, it's super competitive and competing Disney+, Hulu, and Amazon, and Apple TV Plus, and all the ones that have way deeper pockets than I do. I think where we saw a major opportunity, which was in 2017, we started with Pluto TV, a fast channel. Revry was the first LGBTQ network on Pluto TV. Then a year later we launched on Xumo TV in 2018. We crushed it and we brought in advertisers like Lexus. They were the first advertiser. They actually unbounded us six months after we launched. Damian Pelliccione:So, launched in 2016. January 2017 I receive an email from our info at Revry.TV email from this agency that represents Lexus and asked if we did advertising. Of course we get that, we're like, "Yes, we do." You figure it out, because you don't want to say no to that opportunity. Luckily we have the Pluto TV channel to be able to figure that out on, which launched the next quarter. It was great, and they've increased their spend year over year and we're a major partner of Lexus, specifically in the LGBTQ space. We're very honored to have worked with them for so long now since 2017, but we saw just based on that one advertiser and that one channel, the opportunity for having free, linear TV. Damian Pelliccione:Today it's the cable killer. It's fast. It's going to overtake the market. I believe that the new cable networks are the smart TV manufacturers. The Samsung, the Vizios, the LGs, the Sonys even now are getting into this space. These are the ones that will lead the charge and why you won't need a subscription pairage package to your teleco broadcaster like Comcast or AT&T, and what Comcast bought Xumo, and why AT&T is mostly likely going to go into facet as well, to catch up to the market. Damian Pelliccione:Cut to day, we're on 35 fast platforms, more than half of which we are the exclusive and/or only LGBTQ provider. We are also on SVOD platforms, like Xfinity. We're about to launch on a few other big ones coming down the pipe this summer. Our distribution footprint is so massive, and it's not just US. We just launched May 12th with Samsung UK. We launched in a territory in March, which I can't talk about, because we're still in beta for that. We're launching with Australia this week. Actually in just a few days we launch TV across Australia. Next month we're launching in another Latin American territory. Then later on in North America, and hopefully Canada. Damian Pelliccione:It's just been this rolling explosion of opportunity with big partners like TV and Samsung and Vizio, and really embracing what we're doing in the content and how we're distributing. I think the next phase, to answer the question of the business, outside of continuing to spin up channels and build more connections for our networks so now we're not just one network, we have multiple networks... we have our North American English feed, our global English feed, our USA English feed, but we also have Revry News, the first ever LGBTQ 24/7 news network. We have OML under our Revry, which stands for Oe More Lesbian, the first ever queer women acts lesbian network, which has exploded. Revry LatinaX, the first LGBTQ Spanish language network. Damian Pelliccione:Then we have a few more announcements coming up later this year for specialty channels of language specific channels, because, again, we exist as people, LGBT people everywhere, and we're massive underserved in the market other than the few things you can watch on Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, or whatever territory that you live in, or on YouTube. There's no global network like Revry for our community until now. Damian Pelliccione:Really, for us, it's taking over all those global markets and tapping into... even outside of just English speaking markets, the community in Brasil, the community in Mexico, the community in India, the community all over Europe, and very soon the community in Africa. That's exciting to me. What's more exciting from a social impact standpoint is we don't have a barrier to entry. Yes, we still have our subscription product. We call it Revry Premium. That's upgrade from our... just like Peacock, right? The idea there is that if you want greater access and no ads, you pay the subscription price. You don't need to register to our site. You can just go on and start watching. Download the app and start watching anywhere on any device. Damian Pelliccione:The social impact site is like no matter your socioeconomic background, or where you are in the world, you can access Revry content. You as a trans person in Saudi Arabia, as a lesbian in Russia, as a gay man in South Africa can watch great, free content that is ad supported to see your story, to see yourself reflected. Damian Pelliccione:We've had letters from all over the world. The letter was after the Mac World article. That was from a gay man in Saudi Arabia who wrote me a message on LinkedIn of all places, from an anonymous profile saying, "I'm a queer man from Saudi Arabia. I read your Mac World article. I didn't know really what gay meant. I'm closeted, and I now see that there are other people out there like me. Thank you for doing what you're doing. I love this film, so and so." That was powerful. That's not the first. I have that framed, by the way. That message is framed and sits next to my desk, a reminder for why I do what I do every morning. When you're creating something way bigger than yourself, it gives you so much more purpose and drive than any other job you could ever have. That, I equate to our success. Damian Pelliccione:The other opportunity that I had where I saw the impact that Revry is having as a platform was when I was in India in June of 2019. I went to Mumbai to speak at the queer film festival, KASHISH. At the opening night ceremony, they had all the guest speakers come in and just say hello and give a little insight into what their talk would be later on in the week. All these queer female filmmakers surrounded me at the after party. We had this one title called The Other Love Story by this great filmmaker, [inaudible 00:42:50] in London, about this lesbian relationship in Bangalore. It was a scripted show. We branded it as a Revry original distributed in 2017 and '18, and it exploded, like these numbers from India, which we never expected. Again, testament to massively underserved market, but big opportunity. No one's tapping that. Damian Pelliccione:These queer women were so excited to meet Revry, a representative from Revry, let alone the CEO. I was like, "Oh my God. I'm so excited to meet you, too. Tell me what your project is. Can I license something?" That's where my mind goes in distribution, licensing and acquisition. This one girl's like, "No, no, no. Damian, I want to show you something." She pulls out her phone and shows me her Tinder. I'm like, "Why are you showing me your Tinder?" She funnels for lesbian, right? All the images in the grid were images were from The Other Love Story, our acquisition original from that territory. Damian Pelliccione:For context, we're celebrating 50 years of Stonewall right now in the United States, but for context, they only have their stonewall moment in 2018 where they decriminalized being LGBTQ. This is a year later that I'm in that territory. For fear of discretion, for their friends, their families, their jobs, or their places that they live or worship, that's how they identify themselves. Queer women specifically, and I started crying. I took this girl to dinner. I woke up Alia, LaShawn, and Chris in the west and was like, "Hey you have to, have to hear this story. This is huge. Everyone was crying." Damian Pelliccione:Even when I tell this story, I still get a little emotional, but it shows the power of the impact that media and a platform like Revry can have for the greater good of our community on a global scale. I've been quoted saying this story and the Saudi Arabia story multiple times in the past, but I will continue to quote it on all the interviews that I do, because that is the impact that we're having. That is the most exciting and biggest reward that I can receive as a founder. Chris Erwin:Beautifully put. Look, before we move on to the rapid fire, Damian, in terms of reward, what are the exit opportunities as you think about Revry? Where does this go? Do you just continually raise funding, or is there an exit that you're targeting in the next two to three years? I know the common answer is heads down building, we have a lot more to do, but what are you really thinking there, you and the three other founders? Damian Pelliccione:Heads down building, we have a lot more to do for sure. A lot more that we want to do and where I'd like to take this company, and where the founders, collectively, Alia, LaShawn, Chris, and I would like to take this company. We always knew from inception that this was not an idea business. We were an acquisition. When you look at the consolidation that's happening right now, MGM being bought by Amazon, Disney buying Discovery, I don't think that my thesis of acquisition is going to have very much longer before we're sucked up into a bigger machine. I wouldn't hate that, to be honest. I don't think any of the founders... I think we're all excited for that opportunity once it presents itself with the right partner. Damian Pelliccione:Right now, what am I doing? We're raising our next round. Series day is next. We'll see where the future takes us, but there's other conversations happening in the background. I think we're a really hot ticket item. We are the market leader, clearly, hands down the market leader for LGBTQ end streaming. We would be a great acquisition for any of the major studios at this point. And for the right price, not just the right pice, the right upside, but more or less being able to be capitalized in a way with the powers of a bigger studio and keep running the business the way we want to, which is to focus now more into the original side of content, and to create our whole slate of content and market and distribute that. I think that is a big value proposition. Damian Pelliccione:When you look at the stuff that we're coming out with this Pride season, I'm very proud of our slate of originals and content and shows and specials that we are about to announce just in a few days. Chris Erwin:Awesome. Last thing before I move on to rapid fire, Damian. I want to give you and the team some kudos. I remember, I threw an executive event nearby when our office was in Culver City. I think this is in the summer 2019. I did not know you, nor Revry before this. I think one of the guests that was commenting was like, "Oh, I want to bring this guy, Damian. He's electrifying. Can I add him to the guest list?" I was like, "Sure. Let's see." I remember, I think there was three or four long tables. You ended up sitting directly across from me. I just remember from the moment that we sat down, you not only lit up the space between us, but the entire table. I had such a good time talking to you. I got so excited by your vision and your gumption and your energy. That kicked off us working together on a few different fronts. Chris Erwin:I remember, and I was like, this is just a show that existed for this couple hours together, or does this persist? As I have continuously gotten to know you and the team better, and going to your office for an offsite and meeting the other members of your team, like you said, I had hesitation. I'm like, four co-founders? How does that work? But you guys have something very special in what you're building in your product, very special between the four co-founders, and your mission is fantastic. I know without a doubt that you guys are going to be coming out in a very, very special place. Keep on doing what you're doing. It's been amazing to track your journey, and it's fun getting to know you. Damian Pelliccione:We love you, Chris. You've always been a big cheerleader since we've met, and we appreciate your support. Chris Erwin:Cool. With that, we're going to move into the rapid fire round. Six questions. The rules are as follows. The answers are to be very brief, at most one to two sentences, but could also be one or two words. Do you understand the rules? Damian Pelliccione:Yes. Chris Erwin:Great. Let's dive in. Proudest life moment? Damian Pelliccione:Mumbai, India. Chris Erwin:What do you want to do less of in 2021? Damian Pelliccione:Work. No, I'm kidding. Chris Erwin:That's totally fair. Damian Pelliccione:What do I want to do less of? I want to eat less. Chris Erwin:You want to eat less, okay. What do you want to do more of? Damian Pelliccione:Exercise. Chris Erwin:What one to two things drive your success? Damian Pelliccione:Passion, innovation, love. Chris Erwin:Final three. What advice do you give media execs going into the end of 2021? Damian Pelliccione:Fail fast, fail big, and learn. Chris Erwin:Any future startup ambitions? Damian Pelliccione:Cannabis. Chris Erwin:Huh. Okay, I have to ask, what are you thinking on the cannabis front? Damian Pelliccione:Don't know yet. I have a passion for it, too. I think there's a frontier and a gold rush. I think there's so many healing qualities to it and so many unlocked potential and scientific research on what this plant can do. I wanted to be a part of that in some way. It hasn't revealed itself exactly, like what sector of cannabis, but I just know that I definitely want to... if I were to start another startup, it would definitely be in the cannabis sector. Chris Erwin:That'll be a good reason to have you on the show a second time, about your new venture. Damian Pelliccione:Yeah, there you go. Chris Erwin:Last one, very easy. How can people get in contact with you? Damian Pelliccione:Easy. You can go to our website, Revry.TV. You can also find me on Instagram, Damian, D-A-M-I-A-N media, M-E-D-I-A, or Revry TV, R-E-V-R-Y T-V. Chris Erwin:Awesome. All right, Damian. Thanks for being on the show. This was a delight. Damian Pelliccione:Thank you so much for having me, Chris. Always a pleasure to talk to you. Chris Erwin:I got to say, I just love spending time with Damian. He is so positive. He is so effusive. He always brings a smile to my face. That interview was a real delight. All right, before wrapping up, we have an exciting announcement. Rock Water has launched our second podcast. It's called the Rock Water Roundup. In under 15 minutes, me and my colleague, Andrew Cohen, breakdown recent media and commerce news. We already have, I think around seven or eight episodes up, and we cover topics like live stream commerce and whatnot's $40 million capital raise, the growth of creator competition series, including the recent Logan Paul and Floyd Mayweather fight, the rapid growth of the resale market, including Etsy's $1.6 billion acquisition of Depop, and so much more. Chris Erwin:You can get it wherever you listen to your podcast: Apple, Spotify, Google, Amazon, you name it. And you can also go to Rounduppodcast.com. We're getting some really good feedback on the short, what we like to call micro cast format. Would love to have you check it out. All right, that's it everybody. Thanks for listening. Chris Erwin:The Come Up is written and hosted by me, Chris Erwin, and is a production of Rock Water Industries.

HARVEY E. MORRIS is the President/CEO of TUFF STUFF Productions. Harvey is an Emmy Award-winning music producer, gifted singer/songwriter, vocal arranger, actor and professional drummer. Harvey's extensive, diversified experience has contributed to his reputation as a consummate professional in the entertainment industry. Harvey was born in Bronx, New York to Harvey and Lorraine Morris. Early on, his parents knew he was destined to be a musician. By age 2, Harvey’s parents purchased his first drum set to keep him from beating on their pots and pans. By the age of 4, Harvey and his cousins were dancing and singing to the sounds of Motown and Stax Records. It was clear to Harvey’s family from that point on that he desired to become an entertainer. Growing up in a household with God-fearing grandparents, Harvey attended the St. Luke A.M.E. church in Harlem, New York, and at age 8 began singing in the Children’s Choir under the caring directorship of Yvonne Clark. When he was just 12 years old, and under the tutelage of music director Leon Tubman, also of St. Luke’s A.M.E. in Harlem, Harvey recorded his first commercial for American Airlines. The years to follow have been constantly progressing for him. During those colorful years, Harvey has collected a patchwork, quilt-like scrapbook with pages that continue to be filled with tour dates, photographs, recordings, wonderful opportunities and memories that have allowed him to share the stage with artists and groups including The Main Ingredient, featuring Cuba Gooding, Freddie Jackson, Cameo, Roy Ayers, Stevie Wonder, Taylor Dane, Bobby Humphrey, Melba Moore, George Faison, Allison Williams and Gavin DeGraw, to name a few. Harvey has also tipped his hat into voiceovers for TV Land on the Nickelodeon network. He has created music for Ashley Stewart, a clothing company for women, and co-produced the title track for the PBS television special, Voices in Conflict, for which he earned an Emmy. Harvey has also earned SAG/ AFTRA credits for his role as “Phat Jimmy” in the motion picture Begin Again (2013).

There are many types of successful people out there; those who fell into their position, those for whom luck comes easy and often, and even those that lie, cheat, and steal their way into opportunities until they find themselves in a position of power, leaving a trail of heartbreak and deceit along the way. Yet there’s another group, who climb the ladder of success in a most understated way. Day in and day out, they quietly do their jobs, learning, getting better, being forthright with their peers and employers, their innocence and naïveté coupled with a pure love and passion for their career, eventually leading them to the highest ranks within their chosen field. Guitar Tech Steven “Charley” Cohen is a member of this aforementioned group. His approach is simple, his love of his job is pure and palpable, and his sense of self and his ability is straightforward and clear. If he weren’t those qualities that I just mentioned, I doubt he would have the kind of resume he does, which includes Don Henley/The Eagles, Sammy Hagar, Rush, Collective Soul, Taylor Dane, Bob Seeger, and Billy Corrigan of the Smashing Pumpkins. Oh, and did I mention that he’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met? Sometimes, even that’s all it takes to be the best.
