Alan must know. It looks like she's saying... I cant... I cant do it... Boo Hoo. Reminds me a little of my daughters at an early age.
I have no idea what they said unless it was translated. They only translated their "formal" questions to me or my statements to them. A lot of their Comedy "schtick", wise cracks or reactions were not translated as they happened.
Funny how they could get the rights to play Gloria Estefan's voice (song: Conga) on the air - but CBS could not.
Good thing they translated into Japanese so I could undestand what the Texas guy was saying. No wonder why the ladies were having such a good laugh. Sorry, Alan I couldn't resist. Although looks like a fun time!!
nope. Those where three female comedians and I was the only guy. Glad to say seppuku was not needed.
ps: I spent that whole day with their film crew going all over NYC and Brooklyn filming x3 different scenes. It was great fun and they were very considerate.
That was filmed on May 15th, 2013. It all happened pretty innocently I guess, all do to a few of my punch drumming video that went mid-level viral (not 1 mil views) for some reason.
Trust me on this, You never know who is watching ...and ALL major media are now monitoring many sites for innovative, new and unique video. (particularly "viral" sites like Break.com).
A few of my punch drumming videos get noticed on different sites like these and I started to get a few "high level" media contacts (CBS, NBC, Fox news, Fox sports, ESPN, Nippon TV, and about 4 bands...) via my website contact page and my youtube page.
One of those contacts in April 2013 was from TK-Digital.com vice president Kei Sugimoto (grey suit) about appearing in a TV video series about new, innovative fitness activities around the world. They had the contract to film the in USA segments for Nippon TV. It would trio of comedians (known as Morisanchu)
the email said:
"...In this episode we will be traveling with a trio of Japanese comedians who are slightly out of shape. We will be visiting various boot camps, spas, and weight-loss programs. The director is very interested in having our talent try out speed bagging and train our talent to take part in it as well. "
And from that the filming idea started to take place. First they were going to try and come to Waco Texas to film (bad idea) or to meet them in Washington DC (another bad idea). I thought the easiest way would be to join them for several of their segments in the NY area, and use Real Gymm as the speed bag location. To me that was the obvious location and that is what they went with. Picture below show us in the gym and proud to say G-Town and Juxt came up also to see the shoot.
None of the crew spoke English except Kei. I spent the whole day with them going all around the city. It was great fun and we went to parts of Brooklyn I didn't know existed.
Anyway, As more of your Punchdrumming video's get out there, you never know who might call.
