1
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: Have you ever looked at one of your coworkers, friends,

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: or even family members and wondered if there was something

3
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: they were keeping hidden from you. If only there was

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:20,079
Speaker 1: someone that talented, that hard working, that damn gorgeous you

5
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: could do the work for you.

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 2: Well there is. It's me, Artsimone.

7
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: I'm uncovering the interesting jobs, hobbies and secrets seemingly normal

8
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: people are keeping concealed. The catch is I don't know

9
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: who was about to walk through the door or what

10
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: they're hiding, but I'll use my amazing detective skills so

11
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: we can uncover it together. Welcome to Concealed with Art Simone.

12
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: Speaking of the guests, Oh, here they are, roll the tipe.

13
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:51,560

14
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,400

15
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,880

Speaker 3: fitness mountain claiming running, and I also like listening to music.

17
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 3: I don't think Art will be able to guess what

18
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,480
Speaker 3: I'm concealing today, because even though she may have seen

19
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 3: me before, she probably wouldn't recognize me.

20
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,640

45
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: that involve? What do you engineer with the mechanics.

46
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 3: Well, I'm capable of doing a lot of things, but

47
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 3: now I'm currently focused in HVAC, which is heating, ventilation

48
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 3: and air conditioning.

00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: Question number one, who would you choose to play you

118
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: a good team. I can read. People can't read books.

119
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: I get bored sometimes. I like the ones of the

120
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: pictures magazines too shiny, but they do make great paper

121
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,080

Speaker 3: Wow.

123
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, Well, obviously I'm being led into a path

124
00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: something involving being fit and strong, but I like to

125
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 1: keep it a bit kirky. So maybe you're like a

126
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: former astronaut. Are you a former astronaut?

127
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 3: Wrong? Even though I work as a mechanical engineer and

128
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 3: a personal trainer, I'm also a stunt double and I've

129
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 3: worked with the likes of Idris Albert on a recent

130
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:34,359
Speaker 3: movie called three Thousand Years of Longing. I'm also starred

131
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:35,919
Speaker 3: in a few upcoming movies.

132
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,799
Speaker 2: Ah, do you're like a Hollywood stunt double? You're like famous?

133
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:40,520
Speaker 3: Yes? What?

134
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,719
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, I stupid is not a former astronaut.

135
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: He's something even more exciting. He's a stunt performer.

136
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 2: What how does he jump off things? Does it hurt?

137
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 3: You know? How?

138
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 2: Is he breaking a bi And No? I don't know?

139
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 2: And well I found out who Idris Elbow is.

140
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: Please all right, so we're here was Steven And I've

141
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: just found out that No, Steven, you were not an

142
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: astronaut traveling all of the universe you're actually a Hollywood

143
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 1: stunt double exactly. Oh my goodness. Okay, all right, okay,

144
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 1: there's a lot that I need to know. First of all,

145
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 1: how did you get into being a stun double?

146
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,480
Speaker 3: So in my case, I went to stunt school. I

147
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 3: didn't complete it though, yeah.

148
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 1: Mood, I went to ask school. I didn't finished to

149
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: day either and look at me nails.

150
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 3: And I predominantly learned a lot during the job. You

151
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 3: get guys who've been in the industry way longer than

152
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 3: you who would guide you through the called stunt coordinators. So,

153
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 3: for example, in the job I did for Idris recently,

154
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 3: I had to do a few diving courses. I had

155
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 3: to learn how to breathe without a tank on the water.

156
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: A better human men maid sorry, quite scary.

157
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 3: Quite a long period of time. So you get all

158
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: those skills and you get certified as you grow.

159
00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: Yes, So in the world of stunts, what is like

160
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 1: the most mediocre thing that you could do, which is

161
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, standing in a doorframe versus like, what's

162
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: the craziest thing you do? Because I feel like they

163
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: need the stunt doubles for everything and anything, whether it's

164
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: jumping off buildings, or sitting in the car.

165
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,560
Speaker 3: So the most basic thing will be jumping off of building,

166
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 3: which is what you just said.

167
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: It's like, yes, the most basic, boring thing. I don't

168
00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 2: just jump off buildings.

169
00:08:35,440 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 3: Yes. So the way it works in the movie industry

170
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,320
Speaker 3: is that the safety control is immense. So tell you

171
00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 3: jump off a building. You strapped onto a harness, you're

172
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 3: connected to a rig, and as an engineer, for me,

173
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 3: it's simple calculation of this is safe, so my confidence

174
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 3: level goes higher. So even without that, it is still risky,

175
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 3: but the measures built in place are really really adequate.

176
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: Okay, so you say that jumping off a building is

177
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: the most basic thing you could do, how do we

178
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: even get started with that? Like, were you just really

179
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: good at the game The Flora's Lava and one day

180
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:12,719
Speaker 1: you went, you know what I reckon?

181
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 2: I could jump off a building.

182
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, jumping off buildings. Before you start doing that,

183
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 3: you do some rehearsals, and the rehearsals is nothing like

184
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 3: you actually jumping off a building. You're strapped onto a rig,

185
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 3: but you're on the ground. So all you have to

186
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: do is you're going to simulate the feeling of running

187
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 3: and lifting yourself up and then the rig brings you

188
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 3: down gradually. But what they're trying to look for, especially

189
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,839
Speaker 3: if it's an action movies, you're footing, what foot you

190
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 3: use to lift yourself up, how you lift yourself up,

191
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: because that will matter in your acceleration on the rig,

192
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 3: how you dissent, your posture, and your landing. So yeah,

193
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 3: there's a lot that goes into it. But I just

194
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,199
Speaker 3: said that because that is the most basic thing will

195
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 3: get They will get anyone to do.

196
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you're actually doing it.

197
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: Like, do you ever get grumpy when people get applauded

198
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: for your stunts? Like you're in the movies and you're

199
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,360
Speaker 1: watching it together and it's like that was me. I'm

200
00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: just one jumping off the building. You're like, guys, come on.

201
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what that's. That's a very good question.

202
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 3: In fact, I just got off the phone with an

203
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 3: associate producer for a movie which I did, and it

204
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 3: was quite unfortunate because I wasn't credited for that movie

205
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 3: at all at all. Now they're they're they're in the

206
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 3: walks of sod In and Out. Yeah, but.

207
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: It's not anger. When someone doesn't tag me on Instagram, I'm.

208
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 3: Like, come on, I'm not there, but it's not the

209
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 3: first time it's happened. Because some sometimes these actors they

210
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,199
Speaker 3: want the credit for that performance.

211
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: And I'm just like having a ghost rider, isn't it?

212
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, yes it is. I'm signing.

213
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: I'm signed nda is it saying like, I'm not going

214
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:56,559
Speaker 2: to go around and say.

215
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 3: Exactly, I've signed a contract as a performer. That's stay.

216
00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 3: You will not disclose any information that you actually did

217
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 3: this start work for mister such and so and so

218
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 3: in this movie, and they pay you for it. So yeah,

219
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 3: you see to have much money. Yes, it's good money.

220
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 1: Well everyone, I just want to let you know that

221
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: I actually haven't been a stunt double for anyone, and

222
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 1: I'm not being told to be silenced.

223
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 2: But maybe I'm lying. You'll never know.

224
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, it happens. Some actors want that credit.

225
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: That's crazy because you sometimes read articles like yeah, I

226
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: did all the stunts myself, really proud of myself. I'm like, yeah, yeah, true,

227
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: you're too valuable. Like if you mess yourself up a bit.

228
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 3: Exactly like this, it's not realistic. Yeah, you get it scratched.

229
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: I mean you can't work exactly. I've done things where

230
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:46,439
Speaker 3: I've done for they two takes on just the jump.

231
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 2: How rigorous is it?

232
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:47,440
Speaker 1: Like?

233
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 2: How many times you have to keep doing things over

234
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: and over and over again.

235
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 3: It predominantly depends on the director. The most recent stuff

236
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 3: I did, I got in there, I was strapped to

237
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 3: the harness. I did my role, and I got it

238
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: on the first take, like exactly. But you find out

239
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,080
Speaker 3: that really really good directors want it from every angle.

240
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,480
Speaker 3: They want to assume from every point of view. They

241
00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:13,679
Speaker 3: might want you raising your hand this way, raising your

242
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 3: hand that way. So you find out you do a

243
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: minimum of, if the director is reasonable, forty two takes.

244
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, a minimum of.

245
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: That kind of get at a bed in the morning

246
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,040
Speaker 1: sometimes like forty two times.

247
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, and uh yeah, and that's what you're being paid for.

248
00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:33,440
Speaker 3: And you can't complain. I mean, I don't complain. So

249
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: you do it and you're in pain. Yeah, and they're

250
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 3: constantly asking you are you good, and you're like, yeah.

251
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 2: You got it. You're the first one to complain. They're like,

252
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,280
Speaker 2: out that did in lockstep staying with.

253
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 3: Winging exactly, and yeah, I've done jumps where I did

254
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,680
Speaker 3: fifty takes and each time you jump down and a

255
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 3: harness it springs you up. You do that one or

256
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,720
Speaker 3: two times and you're sore. Yeah, and you can imagine

257
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 3: doing it for fifty two takes and when you're done

258
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 3: the next day you're something else.

259
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: It's like a meat puppet. It's the right sling shot.

260
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: You hear and there and you have to go, thanks guys.

261
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 3: And the interesting thing is, you see, that's what you

262
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 3: learn to appreciate the beauty of movies. I don't see

263
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 3: movies the way people normal people see it.

264
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: As soon as you work in television or anything.

265
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:27,000
Speaker 3: That one minute action scene that took a whole day

266
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 3: of thirteen hours, I look at it as Wow, that's

267
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 3: just thirteen hours gone like this in one minute.

268
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: And for me, I get really distracted because I know

269
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,320
Speaker 1: lots about hair, makeup and wigs and costumes. So I'd

270
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: be like watching Game of Thrones, I'm like, wig, wig,

271
00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 1: it's a week. And I'll be watching my friends and

272
00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: be like, we're ruining it, like it's a week. Look

273
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: you can see the wig line. They're like, shut up,

274
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: we're trying to get in the mood and like week.

275
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 1: So you know, I totally get it. What is the

276
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: most dangerous thing you've ever had to do. What's the

277
00:13:55,320 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 1: craziest thing besides shopping up buildings? That's crazy to make

278
00:13:58,600 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: you probably.

279
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 3: Not personally jumping off a moving truck moving about sixty

280
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,360
Speaker 3: per hour onto another moving na.

281
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, how did you train with something like that? You

282
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: get to go in and do a few runs before like.

283
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 3: Okay, So those are these scenes where you will probably

284
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: have to get on a first take or you add

285
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 3: max you do for.

286
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: Tax If you don't get on the best sect, you're

287
00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 1: on the grand he beIN run out of a back car.

288
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 3: Back in the days, you would have these stump performers

289
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:33,600
Speaker 3: jump off a car and they're meant to do a

290
00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 3: jump while the car is moving and jump onto another platform,

291
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: but they end up missing their footing and landing and

292
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: smashing their leg and it actor goes like, all right.

293
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 2: Get oh my god.

294
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,000
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, I guess like in this day nagic

295
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot more safety behind it.

296
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 3: But yes, there's a lot more safety, but like I said,

297
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,040
Speaker 3: it all depends on the director, and it all depends

298
00:14:56,080 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 3: on the availability of performers who look like the actor.

299
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: Yes, that's like camera technology has gotten a lot better

300
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: and HD exists. You have to kind of look a

301
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: little bit more similar to the person.

302
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 3: Yes, in terms of size and measures. There you have

303
00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 3: to be as close as possible.

304
00:15:12,600 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: Have you ever had to bulk up or shrink down

305
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: to match someone more?

306
00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 3: Yes, I've had to bulk up. So I have to

307
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,960
Speaker 3: cut a few types of training, probably have to stop

308
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 3: running for a while, start eating more.

309
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: Stop running. I've actually been bulking this whole time. How

310
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: did you get matched up with Idris?

311
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: To be?

312
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,760
