I didn't know. I walked out of here knowing exactly how to drive. And also, I left with a used Jeep with a hundred and 15000 miles on it. Thanks so much. Willie?

0:02:59
spk_1
 

And that's a hundred and 15000 Canadian miles on there, which is a smoother road and a better ride. Thank you, Mark, my boom guy. Now, 2 men named Mark, a race car driver and a boom mic operator have come in to Willie Henderson's exit 42 car

Here at Willie Henderson, we'll sell the car to anyone in the country except for 1 person. My ex wife in a rush. Sorry, Hadi. You blew it when you said there's no way you can open an auto dealership to get teach people to drive in 1 day. I hope that your family makes it to soccer practice in time and let them know that I'm still willing to coach as long as they'll work around my hours.

0:04:31
spk_1
 

Chris Richards, who you can hear perfectly well because obviously his brother kept a microphone in the car in case it should ever happen. Well, Chris, if you're okay, why don't you get out of that car? It looks like you need 2 things to learn

0:04:46
spk_4
 

to get a new car and to learn how to drive? Yeah. But I gotta learn in 1 day. And as you can see, I'm a terrible driver. Well, I can

0:04:59

get you inside a new dot soon, with only 185 Mexican miles on it for 29 99, and I can get you learning to drive for 15 32. 0 percent APR on the day. And cut. Cut. Okay. Alright, Willie. How'd you feel? Very good. The woman playing my ex doesn't look exactly how I had described, but I was able to work with it and be in the moment.

0:05:51
spk_1
 

a little long, and I'd love to do 1 as written. I really would. What did it did it feel long? I mean, it's a 30 second spot. So IIII would think we had to run a little longer. It's not a 1 of the fifteens.

And that whip pan was to Chris Richard's and that's the boom guy, his brother. Mark Richard's and cut on the commercial.

0:09:50
spk_5
 

Cut. Okay. So we did okay. That was actually pretty good. But you don't have to say cut because you're on camera. I will go ahead and say cut. But that'll be over. That that take was actually pretty clean. Mark, I do want you to decide how you're gonna pronounce your last name. Do you wanna go with Andrade or Adredi? I don't. Just make a choice there. And I think everything was pretty good. Wanna try that 1 again or do we wanna go to another version?

0:10:18
spk_1
 

I I missed rereading your resume. What was your background again directing? Well, I did a lot of stage stuff.

0:10:26
spk_4
 

I've done a lot of stuff -- Right. -- stuff -- -- publicity. Explicit stage stuff.

0:10:31
spk_5
 

Yeah. It's a lot of what we call naked cabaret. But theo

0:10:37
spk_4
 

but theo. Naked capiree. Capiree is kind of Scantus

0:10:42
spk_5
 

clad. Yeah.

0:10:43
spk_4
 

Yeah. It's not nude. It's it's it's it's kinda showing less.

0:10:48
spk_5
 

Mhmm.

0:10:49
spk_4
 

Does it have, like is there, like, a band and and and and tassels or anything? It's it's more just, like, productions of death of

0:10:57
spk_5
 

a salesman but nude. So it's but there's music. There's music. Anyway, it's more experimental. So I'm here mostly to just run camera. I'm not trying to change your vision. I just want to make sure we got what we intend to get. Okay.

0:11:15
spk_1
 

Well And

0:11:16
spk_5
 

how do you feel, Willie? You feel good about that

0:11:18
spk_1
 

1? I'm I'm happy with that take. I would love to do the chicken scratch dream tank if we could also just to see how we have

0:11:30
spk_5
 

no. It's

0:11:31
spk_4
 

me. Chris, Richard. How you doing over there? Chris, how you doing? My neck is in bad shape. Am I bleeding?

0:11:39
spk_5
 

Yeah. Just a lot. Yeah. Yeah.

0:11:42
spk_4
 

Okay.

0:11:42
spk_0
 

Alright.

0:11:43
spk_1

0:11:48
spk_4
 

Get a banana and a cutie. Oh. Crafty? Okay.

0:11:54
spk_0
 

I'm

0:11:54
spk_1
 

not curious. Yeah. Go ahead, brother. The sound effects that Chris and you were doing into the boom mic of the horny ladies. Is that just 10 Rary, and we'll put some other ones in the edit, or was that what we're gonna go with?

0:12:08
spk_5
 

Oh, sorry. Were we doing script 2? I thought we were doing script 2. You wanted those. Right? Well,

0:12:13
spk_1
 

the side effects are great. I just in the script, it said horny ladies and I didn't know that on set, it would be done by the director and the boom operator. I'm just wondering if is it gonna be temporary sound there? Or is that what we're using?

0:12:25
spk_5
 

In post, we're gonna hire some ladies. I know some ladies from death of a salesman nude, and I was gonna ask them to come do it. Yeah. That's the title of the place. Because

0:12:38
spk_4
 

because because it's salesman need

0:12:40
spk_2
 

yeah. Because it's not just the salesman that's nude, because there is a version that's death of a new nude salesman that I've seen before, but this 1 goes

0:12:47
spk_6
 

a little further.

0:12:47
spk_5
 

That's a funny 1. Now this is -- Yeah. -- this is more sexual. Everybody's nude, but it is word for word verbatim, death of a salesman. Right. And then at the end, they do voulez vous couchet.

0:12:58
spk_1
 

Oh, way to marble up. Yeah. At

0:13:01
spk_4
 

the end, they No. No. They do vous les but bouche. Yeah. Which I've seen it. I've seen it? Me too. It's very good.

0:13:09
spk_5
 

It's very good. Okay. If we're done questioning my credits, I would love to just move on to the chicken scratch dream version, if that's

0:13:16
spk_1
 

okay. Let's do the chicken scratch dream version.

0:13:18
spk_5

0:16:49
spk_1
 

this ever happened to you? You were walking somewhere because you don't know how to drive and don't have a car that you fell right through the ceiling. Well, I could solve both of those problems for you at Willie Henderson's exit 42, car dealership and training school. This injured man here would have never fallen through my ceiling if you knew how to drive which he could learn in 1 day from me and my friend, a certain race car driver

0:17:15
spk_2
 

you might recognize. Hi, I'm me. Mark, Aljandro. I am a funny

0:17:24
spk_0
 

car racer

0:17:25
spk_2
 

who has won lots of different titles. I didn't know how to drive. Until I came down here to my buddy, Willie Anderson's auto dealership. And the time that I by the time I left, I was a award winning chef. I mean, auto racer. I had a great time to this this is a little wordy. You want me to take anything out? I feel like I have added a lot.

0:17:51
spk_1
 

Keep rowing. No. That's perfect. Thank you. Okay. And that was my monologue. Thanks for watching. This was me doing a monologue. My perfectly naked body? Uptown. Those are real nipples. Not slices of zucchini.

0:18:11
spk_4
 

pulling out. Sound cuts. Yeah. Wow.

0:18:15
spk_5
 

Thank you sound for all the extra description of what you're doing for sure. We really appreciate where the boob mic is going. I am a little worried about the recording is going.

0:18:25
spk_1
 

A little worried the audio is gonna pick up throughout the take that he's describing what he's doing with the mic throughout.

0:18:31
spk_5
 

I'm a little worried about that too. I'm not I'm not actually used to film sets.

0:18:36
spk_4
 

We're losing light.

0:18:38
spk_1
 

Well, so that was my that was my option. Now that you've seen it on the unlossed tape. How'd you like my monologue? I

0:18:44
spk_5
 

gotta say the audition was great. Unfortunately, the production has run its course, so it doesn't apply to auditioning. But I will say, you got a pretty good commercial already.

0:18:55
spk_2
 

Yes. I

0:18:55
spk_5
 

didn't know that here

0:18:56
spk_3
 

i think we got

0:18:57
spk_5
 

was the commercial.

0:18:58
spk_1
 

Well, my audition was a retelling of the commercial. I was acting out a commercial that already existed. I can't we can't re air the same commercial is not We can't just read

0:19:09
spk_2
 

the No. I mean, the we

0:19:10
spk_1
 

re aired the recording we just made of the elementary school VCR of the audition of the commercial? Well, it's interesting. And it'll it'll get people going,

0:19:22
spk_2
 

it'll

0:19:22
spk_1
 

get them to lean in. You know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. I am feeling a little concerned that this is not a race car driver I've hired and that it is somebody pretending for a paycheck. III have sign your paychecks to cash, and you haven't remembered your name now ever.

0:19:38
spk_2
 

Hi. My name's cash. Can you sign my paycheck over And at a 0, please. Willie, I don't

0:19:44
spk_1
 

think this guy is from that race family. I think this is just a guy. I I in that did you see in the audition I think at a certain point he thought he was Mario batali because he said he was a chef at the end. I think so too.

0:19:59
spk_5
 

I think we have the safety

0:20:02

0:20:37
spk_2

spk_5
 

Oh my god. That's horrible.
