Welcome back to another episode of the 6 Figure Home Studio Podcast.

I am your host, Brian Hood, aka the hostess with the mostess, aka, I don't have anything else that rhymes, so I'm not that clever. I should have prepared some things before this.

Chris Graham (0:31)

I'm the hostess with the second mostess.

Brian Hood (0:33)

Yeah, and my co-hostess with the second mostess, Chris, not wearing a purple shirt, Graham. Chris, how are you doing today, man?

Chris Graham (0:39)

It's under the sweatshirt today.

Brian Hood (0:41)

Oh, you got a sweatshirt on. Yeah, I should actually wear a sweatshirt myself, simply because my new AC unit is just killing it right now. It's freezing in my house, and it's like, you know, 85, 90 outside. It's not too bad, but it's still hot outside.

Chris Graham (0:53)

I'm debating whether to make a joke about that being cool. But I'm not going to make that joke.

Brian Hood (0:58)

You just did. You just did.

Chris Graham (1:01)

No, I didn't. That's the safe way to make a bad pun joke right there.

Brian Hood (1:05)

Is just to make it without making it. All right.

Chris Graham (1:07)

Yeah, so I'm thinking about making a pun that has something to do with this.

Brian Hood (1:10)

It's the self-aware dad joke. That's like a next level of dad joke that has just been invented today on the podcast. You heard it here first. Chris, how have you been, man? And before you answer, I already know the answer. Anyone who's been following you on social media knows the answer. How have you been, buddy?

Chris Graham (1:23)

Well, back to what you said a minute ago about that type of pun joke being like an Inception type pun joke. Well, here's how I've been. Last week, Mr. Andy J. Pizza and I went to Hollywood.

Brian Hood (1:37)

That's not Hollywood, Ohio. That's Hollywood, California.

Chris Graham (1:39)

No, California, to interview one of the stars of the movie Inception, Mr. Joseph Gordon Levitt.

Brian Hood (1:46)

I hope you didn't talk to him like that a single time.

Chris Graham (1:48)

Under the whole time. And so it was awesome. So I went with Andy. Andy and I worked out a deal where he's going to be helping me with one of my businesses. Stay tuned for more details on that. It's going to be awesome.

And I showed up with the Mixpre that we've been talking about and set it all up and recorded an interview between Andy and Joseph Gordon Levitt. Joseph Gordon Levitt, if you don't know, he's an A-lister actor. He was in the movie Inception. He was in one of my favorite TV shows of all time, Third Rock from the Sun. It was great. Mixpre killed it.

We took a sponsorship from them just for a few episodes because we were obsessed with the product, but it really was amazing to just be like, I press the record button and I have nothing to worry about. It's not going to clip. It's not going to crash.

And Joseph Gordon Levitt's not going to get mad at me.

Brian Hood (2:36)

Yeah. So the Mixpre 3 being Hollywood approved because Joseph Gordon Levitt, also known as JGL, I don't know if he's ever known as that.

Chris Graham (2:44)

He should be.

Brian Hood (2:45)

He was recorded through the Mixpre 3 and I assume no issues happened?

Chris Graham (2:49)

Zero. It was awesome to just be like, I'm going to calm down and not worry if anything crashes.

Brian Hood (2:55)

Well, I will say mine is still sitting on my desk with the cord bundled up and I still need to hook it up, but I will report back as soon as I do. I promise.

I'm just I am such an anti gear nerd that I don't even want to set up brand new gear that I got sitting on my desk. It will happen. And when it happens, I will report back and the world will be right.

Chris Graham (3:14)

Fantastic. Well, so here's what happened. So we hung out with Joseph Gordon Levitt.

He was so cool.

Brian Hood (3:19)

He just seems like a cool dude. I just I've always liked him.

And I don't even know him.

Chris Graham (3:23)

Yeah, I really liked him a lot. He called me by name, which made me made my heart.
