Speaker 1: 0:48

Thank you very much. Welcome back to the All Purpose Pod for an all-purpose life. Wherever you are and however you're listening to the Call Me, mr you, the podcast. We thank you again for making us a part of your morning, your day and your week. We're your weekly mirror check before you change the world. We have another one-on-one today with a good friend brother, real estate mogul. This guy got it going on. Trey Monty is in the house this morning. Good morning, brother. How are you man?

Speaker 2: 1:13

Good morning, Mr you. It's so good to be with you today.

Speaker 1: 1:16

Awesome. How's the weather where you are, man? There's a lot of stuff going on in our area, man, you doing good.

Speaker 2: 1:22

We got a lot of stuff happening here, so we got one eye on this and one eye on the weather channel. Who knows right? One eye on the windows.

Speaker 1: 1:28

Yeah, it's going okay, everything's good. I'm glad to be here. Hopefully you're a pleasant distraction from all the stuff that's going on, man. Thanks for coming on, man. We definitely appreciate it. Our listeners have been prepped and ready for you, man, hopefully me to bring some questions and comments live to the table. If you guys are listening via YouTube youtubecom they call me Mr U you can come in live and you can kind of see all of our conversation, drop live comments and questions there and if you're simulcasting on Facebook, tiktok and Twitter, you can also drop questions there as well. Love to hear your thoughts. I'm sure Trayvon will appreciate it. All right. So, first thing, the creative in me, the creative person in me, is super excited about this, because for several reasons. One, I want to start with the musical background. I'm excited about that because I want people to hear kind of what you do and how you got into where you're going to. So, in brief, can you give me a few sentences, a few quick paragraph on your musical background, how you got started.

Speaker 2: 2:30

Let me do that. This is a very personal story to me, mr Yu. Here's what happened. I was nine years old. My mother took me. She was a teacher at a high school in New Bedford, massachusetts. 4,000 kids in the school. She had just recently gone through a divorce. She's I'm nine years old and she has the thought, and she has the thinking to take me to a high school concert at this big high school. And we're sitting up in the second balcony and halfway through the concert I looked down at the stage and I told her quietly because it was loud in there. I said well, I whispered to her. I said I like those instruments. These were shiny instruments in the front. I didn't know what they were called. She says that's the flute. I said yeah, I like that. I didn't even know what it sounded like.

Speaker 2: 3:14

A week later, as I started my fourth year in school, she got me lessons on the flute. It was unbelievable. So that began the whole cycle. And then, about four years later, I'm practicing taking lessons. I'm not really serious about the lessons. I like to improvise, even at 12 years old. I came across this. I want to show you this. This is a. Can you see that there?

Speaker 1: 3:40

Oh my goodness, yeah, absolutely.

Speaker 2: 3:42

Okay, I found that because it was dropped off. As a jazz DJ that knew my parents dropped off these free albums. And I found Herbie Mann. I didn't even know guys played the flute Yusuf, I thought this was like little girls that played the flute and it got me real excited because it was an Afro-Latin rhythm, latin rhythms, and I started to play along with the record with him. Now here's where the story gets really exciting. I didn't know much about Harry Mann. He was kind of like my idol. He was my mentor in playing flute and how to improvise and I developed my style based on a lot of his playing.

Speaker 2: 4:22

So now I'm playing all through high school and I'm not majoring in it, it's just something I personally love. And now I'm you know my age now and something told me to check the history of Herbie Mann now. So I'm like 66, just turned 66. And last year I say I got to look into Herbie Mann. So I start to search for Herbie Mann videos just to find out. I didn't know what I was looking for. And so one morning I'm looking at a YouTube video and it's from 1988. Herbie Mann's at the Newport Jazz Festival and the guy asked him the same question you just asked me Herbie, how did you get started playing the flute? And Herbie said and this is what blew me away, I almost had tears in my eyes. Herbie said when I was nine years old, my mother took me to go see Benny Goodman at the New York Radio City, new York.

Speaker 1: 5:17

Radio City Music Hall.

Speaker 2: 5:19

And a week later I had a clarinet in my hands. Man, that, just that killed me. Me because what it showed to me. It showed me that God okay, god sets stuff up Forty years before they're about to happen. He knows what's going to happen. That's how much he cares about us. Here's the thing His mother did what my mother did.

Speaker 2: 5:44

In a crowded auditorium with music blasting. He probably leaned over to her and said, kind of what I did, I like that instrument. She not only listened but she took action and that, to me, is just, it blows me away that if she didn't do that, I would not have found that album. If his mother didn't do that, he would not have found that album. If his mother didn't do that, he wouldn't have started really getting into it. Just, probably like I did, and it set a life course of music and love and appreciation that my kids have even followed down the path as well with music. Because of that, because of her taking action, I love that and it's just a beautiful thing, man, I'll tell you yeah it action.

Speaker 1: 6:26

I love that and it's just a beautiful thing. Man, I'll tell you it is. Man, give me a chance to blow your mind right quick, since we're here. That's why I love doing these one-on-ones. It's my favorite part of all I do in all of our podcast brands. It's my favorite, yeah, Because this kind of stuff starts happening Around the same age that you're talking about.

Speaker 1: 6:42

I was introduced to the clarinet around the same age. No kidding, absolutely almost the same scenario. The only thing was that a clarinet didn't stick with me. I didn't think it was. I didn't think it was fancy enough, so I didn't stick with it. Long term I moved on to other things. But around the same age, my mom put a you know, kind of a allowed me to venture into the world of the clarinet. She thought I'd be my sister. She, around the same age as we're talking about. She was introduced to the cello or the viola or both. I think it was Around the same age. I don't know if we're age eight and nine, but wow, that's pretty awesome. That's kind of what took us there. Some of my most favorite, my favorite contemporary jazz artists are saxophone players.

Speaker 2: 7:29

Why did you levitate toward the sax, if you don't mind sharing it with us yeah, I played, uh, flute has been my main instrument and, um, it was interesting because I played baseball in high school and you talk about getting razzed by by people of that age. You know, peers, I, I play flute in the band, in the marching band for football I play. Then I'd be a catcher for baseball and you see, this guy plays flute. And they said a few other derogatory terms, but it didn't matter, I loved it and, and here's the thing catches the tough man catches it. I mean I, they could make fun of flute playing. All it brought me into a world that I could never have imagined possible.

Speaker 3: 8:06

So here's the thing.

Speaker 2: 8:08

It wasn't until college where I decided that I was playing some jazz gigs in Boston and around, where it was really, with a guitar, a small trio. And I just knew that at that point I was ready to add another voice to my collection and I never played saxophone. And so I picked it up. And I just knew that at that point I was ready to add another voice to my collection and I never played saxophone, and so I picked it up and I learned it and I added it to the instruments that I play and it's just really.

Speaker 2: 8:36

It's a beautiful instrument. I love it, same as you. I love the sound of the saxophone. I play the tenor, but flute just has it still has a personal effect with me as much as I love the saxophone. It's, but it gave me that second voice.

Speaker 1: 8:52

Okay, as far as flautists and sax players, who do you love? Who do you listen to? Whose music do you download? Who do you anybody that we recognize? You think?

Speaker 2: 9:06

Yeah, I think you might you know I love so many.

Speaker 2: 9:12

It's hard. I've always thought who's my favorite? I don't know, but there's some contemporary guys right now. I just saw Chris Potter. Most people wouldn't recognize that name but he's unbelievable. Michael Brecker, who's now? He died a few years back one of the greatest players of all time. You'd recognize all the solos this guy has played on on pop albums.

Speaker 2: 9:34

A lot of people, unless they're into it, don't know him. Kirk Whalum. Kirk Whalum, come on, man, yeah, his sound is so beautiful to me and he me and he's right up there in the top three, absolutely. And you know, I got to say you know, and I know people kind of laugh at this, but Kenny G on Soprano, he's, I think. You know. I read the other day and people make fun of him. Fine, people are traditionalists, they're purists, but he took a sound and he blew it away. I mean, I understand he's the largest solo instrumentalist. I mean the sales of his nobody even comes close to what he has sold. So hey, he can laugh all the way to the bank. But he had a beautiful thing that he developed there and I think it brought people into understanding instrumental music that probably wouldn't look at it before that oh yeah, that's great.

Speaker 1: 10:32

Great place, absolutely, I love those. We talked at length about our musical journeys. They're a little bit different. I went into a different area of music than you did, and it's always fun, though. What was your ultimate goal for yourself in the, in your music, originally? What were you hoping to accomplish big picture wise, or were you just doing it for fun and it kind of just evolved into something else? How did that formulate?

Speaker 2: 11:37

Yeah, you know, you know there was no, there was no real desire for me to be on the professional level, as far as it was much more of a personal fulfillment. And I love playing all kinds. I ran a wedding band here for eight and a half years and we did a lot of pop and dance but it always gave me that personal satisfaction and if people enjoyed what I do in certain realms, worship music to me is probably as close to that fulfillment as I can get because there's a certain connection that happens when you're playing that style of music.

Speaker 2: 12:21

And I think if it touches people through me in order to play the gifts I've been given, then I think that's a very special thing. That, to me, gives me the most satisfaction with music.

Speaker 1: 12:32

I love it. I love it. So that's where you are right now. Musically, are there any goals that have developed over the past five years or so? Something maybe that's been sparked, maybe a creative spin or maybe a project, anything that's been happening lately, within the past five years or so?

Speaker 2: 12:54

Well, right now, because of my other things that I've been into over the last few years, it's kind of taken me a little off the music path slightly, but I'm always looking for something that could be really interesting. I know a while back you would talk to me about something that you're thinking of. That would be a very exciting thing. I mean because I'm always looking to do something that has a different twist to it and something I can lend my talent to if it fits. And so, yeah, I'm always on the lookout. I do sit in with groups here in Charleston when they need somebody Gives me that pleasure to do that. But right now it's kind of slightly on the back burner because of because of other things.

Speaker 1: 13:37

Copy that. Well, that's still it. That's still in works, by the way. We talk about that one off line. We haven't forgotten about that one. But let's transition a little bit. You spent about over 20 years in real estate. Let's transition a little bit. You spent about over 20 years in real estate. It's the normal path that people take when they want to seek, or when they're seeking, alternative income streams. What made real estate the go to option for you, and how did you navigate all the challenges that always go with it?

Speaker 2: 14:02

Markets- going up and down things like that. How did you navigate that that? Yeah, actually, actually, real estate started 10 years ago. And 10 years ago, which is, which is fine, that sometimes seems like 20, but it's 10. It was. It was because my life was at the time. I was like 55 and, um, I had, uh, transitioned from my business. I had worked on with my wife for many years. It was highly, very successful, but it was starting to phase out. Some things got in place of that and I started to look for new things. In the course of that, I took two jobs before just jumping into something. One job was I started just and I started working at the supermarket. I started working at my local supermarket Long story there.

Speaker 2: 14:45

We don't have time for that one today but it took all the pride that I ever had and I don't say that, I say that respectfully, because we would go into Publix, one of the main supermarkets in my neighborhood, and I never thought of really conversing a lot with the people. I was busy. I was helping my wife shop. She knew everybody and when this transition came and I knew I had to make some money until I decided what to do next, she says, well, and I met with a guy who gave me some guidance and he said to me a Christian fellow that I really respected, and he put my life on a piece of paper. He says, trey, you've got five areas of your life, four of them involve passion. You need a job. That I don't even want to hear about, passion and the thing you got to do. And he told me what I should do. A week later he said you should work for a supermarket man. I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to do it, but I knew it was a message because I'd been hearing this message that I was being downloaded. I believe God was telling me without a doubt. He says this is what you're going to do. And when he told me that, I did it. And man, I'll tell you, I was in there for 11 months putting cans of beans on a shelf and my neighbors would come by and they'd say what the heck happened. Look at Greg. He's working in public.

Speaker 2: 16:06

But you know what? I became friends, still to this day, friends with these people that I just really didn't notice before. These were beautiful people. It taught me some great lessons. One was pride. One was stripping, that attitude of well, I've got to a big salesman, or I got to you know, do this. No, it took all that pride away and when I left there I started selling cars. That I'd never sell cars, but I heard I had to. So I walk and I start doing that. And then the third thing was one of my daughters said to me Daddy, why don't you try real estate? I never really wanted to do that, but I said look, I've already done two things I don't want to do. I'm on the path now. I might as well keep doing what I'm hearing.

Speaker 3: 16:59

And I started that, not wanting to do it. I don't even know how I passed those tests that they gave.

Speaker 2: 17:03

At the end I had a piece for what I'm here. I had been in school for 40 something years forget it. But I passed the test on the first try and I said, okay, all right, I surrender, I'm going to do it, and that was 10 years ago and I'm loving it today. It's almost like to me. I look at it like almost like and I don't want to sound cliche, but it's almost like a ministry of some sort, because I'm able to help people avoid big mistakes that I made you know in real estate in my life, and I'm able to guide them in a way, that's true, caring, regardless of how much the house doesn't matter. I'm able to guide them in the process so they can avoid the things and the mistakes I made.

Speaker 1: 17:43

I love that man, at the risk of sounding repetitive mistakes I made. I love that man at the risk of sounding repetitive. This is why I love doing these one-on-ones, because so much stuff pops up that we haven't talked about again. Another uh connection, another commonality, publix, that that supermarket was pivotal in my professional growth too. Same same as you. I can't believe you. This is like we didn't talk about this. This is unplanned, that's right.

Speaker 1: 18:10

I moved out of the state of South Carolina. I moved to Tampa, florida, for about four years. I moved out there somewhere on a ministry mission. I didn't know if it would be long-term or what, but I was in a professional holding place, so to speak, and, long story short, I was uh, had a long resume, wasn't doing what I wanted to do or what I what I thought I should be doing, okay. So my resume that's my long list of of accomplishments, degrees and that kind of stuff, went to publish as a deli clerk beat it. I learned so much about me in that process. It was unbelievable and, like you, I met people who, uh, they maintain lifelong friendships but almost the same premise got to learn about the other side of of my world and kind of gotten a chance to, you know, see myself in a you know, in a different way and recognize that you know this is. This is good for my character, this is good for my personal development. So publix is a place that's like that's a shop there, but this place is in Tampa, so I haven't seen it in years. But, pivotal man, I love this. This is really good man. All right, so let's keep moving.

Speaker 1: 19:16

Now, before you mentioned about working with, uh, several bands here locally, musically, I think you said you kind of sit sitting once in a while. How did those? How you entered those collaborations Because that's something that I think about now, with doing music more seriously than I have in years now how did you enter into those collaborations? I'm kind of curious about that, and then we'll move on to something different. But how did you get there?

Speaker 2: 19:39

I think when you're in a town like this one, it's kind of a close-knit musical environment. I mean you have certain people in certain niche. You've got the jazz thing, you've got more eclectic type bands that play a lot of you know music that they've written and different kinds of sounds. That way I think the big thing was over the years, as I met people in this circle, it just naturally occurred that if they needed an instrument like what I play, then they knew how I played. We tried out, we'd have a practice session, we saw if it fit and I was adaptable to it in most cases and then I drew upon these people that I would meet that way.

Speaker 2: 20:27

So it's become a nice. It's just a beautiful thing to be able to do. And with the wedding band that I started, my wife and I ran it and five other superlative musicians. So we called Palmetto Soul. We had that going for eight and a half years, played the best venues from here to Florida and what a thrill that was. But you know, eight and a half years of playing a brick house, oh wow, that's about it, you know.

Speaker 1: 20:57

Yeah, I think it's easier for a musician than it is for a singer. Yeah, yeah, because the circles I've been in it's like I don't know. It seems like it's harder for a singer to get into those circles and collaborations. Just my brief personal experience. I'm like musicians can get in way faster than I could. There you go.

Speaker 2: 21:15

There you go. It might be different for all those things, but it was kind of it was a nice progression?

Speaker 1: 21:21

Absolutely so what's your all-time best experience playing solo or with a group? All-time best experience playing solo or with a group all-time best experience, the one that hits you the deepest.

Speaker 2: 21:32

All right, this is gonna sound, uh, this is gonna sound a little off off the path a little bit. I want it.

Speaker 3: 21:38

I want it all right here it is here it is.

Speaker 2: 21:42

Um, I would play with. I would play with the praise teams of different churches that we were attending over the last 10 years or so, and we were going to one church and I was there for quite a while and I played on Sundays, most Sundays, with this acoustic, more acoustic-sounding group, and one day the whole church was going to this retreat and I couldn't go away. I had to be in town that particular Sunday and so I wasn't going on that. But the whole church, including all the musicians, were going and most of the church, but they were still going to have a service for those that remained that Sunday. And about a week before they asked me and I don't even know how this came up, but they asked me would I leave the surface?

Speaker 2: 22:31

Or the guy that was given the sermon asked me. He was one of the alternate preachers. He said to me Greg, would you do some things with me? I think that's how it happened would you do some things with me on Sunday, just with the flute and saxophone? I said yeah, I'll try. There's no piano, there's no guitar, there's no chordal instrument. So I said yeah. So we got together and he says in between my talk, could you play little inserts of pieces and maybe lead the congregation? I said I've never done that like as a solo instrument, so I took it real serious. Well, it is because I said I want this thing to be right and I just at night I would stay up and listen what songs could I do that would make sense? And I was just given the download of what songs would work during his talk and then I would have to close out the day's service.

Speaker 2: 23:31

And I'll never forget I took a Bob Dylan song called something about. It's a popular song we'd all know something about. You know it was a popular tune but it had a very specific, beautiful wording that meant something to the love and people and understanding. And I had a music. I didn't have a music track, I just had it ready to go. And I remember I had to submit my list to one of the head directors at the church really wonderful guy. But he said what are you going to do at the end? Because we always went out on a very fast song at the end most of the time and he saw my list. He says I don't know if you should do that song. You know that song doesn't seem to fit what we do. I remember I was cutting the grass.

Speaker 1: 24:22

It was knocking on heaven's door, was it? What's that? Was it knocking on heaven's door?

Speaker 2: 24:28

No, and so, but it was a great Dylan song. And he said to me I don't know if you should do that one. And I was cutting the grass and I'd been studying for a week what I should do. I was hearing what I should do the Holy Spirit, god, you know what to do. And I said to him but you don't understand. I said, and I was dead serious, well, what could he say? Not much, not much. And I'll tell you, I think that was the most fulfilling moment I've ever had on a stage, because it worked. I know it worked because my wife was there and she told me it worked.

Speaker 2: 25:15

She's not easy. She's not easy. She's not easy for compliments If I don't do something right, man, I get. But here's the thing On the ride home this is the truth, mr Yu On the ride home in the car, she's getting texts and messages from people at the retreat who were told how good it was. And I say that humbly, but I also say that that was directed, you know. And what a moment that was. I'll never forget it. I love that.

Speaker 1: 25:45

I love that. Well, coming from the Northeast like you, growing up in New York City, most people, if you have any kind of a personality, you probably end up going into acting at some point in time. Well, my acting career was super short. I did a lot of stage stuff, school plays, some auditions for certain products, which I won't name, but it never got a lot further than that. I went to audition for a soap opera and got to the door and before I could I tell a story all the time, especially on the podcast earlier three seasons. And when I got to the door I could see my mother's face. She didn't know I was going to audition. I could see her face like saying don't you go in that door and go through that, don't you step into that room? I'm like it's funny, it's sad but it's funny. So I didn't do the audition. That was the end of my acting career, at least in that room. I did church plays and church performances, that kind of stuff, but nothing on a level as you.

Speaker 1: 26:49

But you've done something that many might find taboo or might be too much of an uphill climb, but you're doing it flawlessly right now. To be honest, most aspiring actors and actresses start their careers as early as possible. My mom had me auditioning for commercials when I was like nine years old, 10 years old. You started your acting career at age 55. Is that right? That's correct. Wow, talk us through. What sparked that for you and made you go forward, despite the inherent challenges of starting a late acting career? What made you go? Yeah?

Speaker 2: 27:22

Yeah, that's, that's good. That's good. My wife, nita, was in a church service that we're going to. She was in a teaching class one Wednesday night. I wasn't at it and she was like an eight o'clock at night. She came home and she said someone, someone, they have a film crew at the church, a Christian film crew at the church. They need a guy to play the dad. If you want to try to get the role, go down. And this is a time we were going through a business transition that's about the public's time and we needed. I needed to know what direction my life should go in and I was open to anything. So I went down, I auditioned, got the role.

Speaker 2: 27:57

Three years later, as the path opened up, I found myself in Beijing for a month playing the lead role in a movie called Pegasus on the Brink. I was there in Beijing because I was there in China a couple of years before for the same movie. They never released it. I played only four little scenes in that movie as the president of the so-called United States. They changed the name and I left, and when I got back that first time in 2015, I said that acting's all over.

Speaker 2: 28:31

I was kind of getting a little bit demoralized with acting, not because I wasn't getting offers or doing some work. It was that a lot of the roles I was getting was just morally something I didn't want to do. That's the decision we're talking about here. What do you accept and what don't you? I'm not prude about this, but at the same time I'm not going to do something that's blatant or gratuitous or just for the sake of stupidity. It's going to have some deep meaning. I mean, there's a lot of stuff in the Bible that's controversial, but at the same time it's life. But if it goes beyond that and becomes just nothing but salacious stuff, forget it. So I was finding. A lot of roles I was getting was like that, and the film I thought was going to be an opening door in China never took off. They didn't release it.

Speaker 2: 29:22

So I got out of acting and agents were firing me because I wouldn't do auditions. I said I don't care and real estate was starting up. Narrow it down. Right here I'm on Sunset Boulevard with my wife. We're visiting our oldest daughter out there in Hollywood. She's living out there. Oh wow, I'd have been out of acting now for nine months. I didn't even care. I could care less and I get a call from the production studio.

Speaker 2: 29:47

While we're on Sunset Boulevard in the fall, the production studio from the first film that never got released contacted me and said we'd like you to come back to China. We're redoing the whole film and you're the lead role in this film. I said what they said yeah, you're the president, you're going to play a Trump-like president. You're the lead. We need you there. So, after some negotiation and making sure my schedule was free that's another story I go and that's the result of Pegasus, and that it got me back into acting. Actually, I learned there I was playing the lead role. Never played a lead role. I was playing the lead role and I realized that I love this. I love this, but again under the guidelines of good quality content, and the doors started to reopen and it's been a beautiful thing, but again only for roles that are up to par.

Speaker 1: 30:43

Yeah, I definitely love to hear that. I got a clip I want to go ahead and play. I'll have you kind of break it down once we watch it, alright.

Speaker 3: 30:54

You think we've got a shot in Ohio?

Speaker 4: 30:56

It's close, senator. I think we should keep our money where it can do the most good, and that's.

Speaker 3: 31:02

Florida. Okay, if you think so.

Speaker 4: 31:08

Yes, sir, you realize there's a huge block of people whose votes are for sale. I know All you have to do is say the magic words your loans are forgiven. They don't care that the debt will crush our economy, hurting millions of people. They're selfish. They got what they wanted. They want everyone else to pay for it.

Speaker 3: 31:31

I can't do it and I won't do it. I know, I just like hearing you say it. When your father passed, it was well. He was the closest thing I've had to a brother. He felt the same way about you, senator. He was there when my Catherine got sick. I remember he was there when she passed. He was the reason I was able to keep on fighting. I mean, he wouldn't let me quit, and you meant more to him than life itself.

Speaker 1: 32:21

Thank you, I love that. All right, so kind of break down a little bit about how that came through and that was after the Pegasus movie.

Speaker 2: 32:30

Uh, that. That was a clip from a current film that's right now on uh on prime videos, called the third party. That was a clip from a current film that's right now on Prime Video. It's called the Third Party. So this is a movie that came later and we shot this. I play a senator from South Carolina. I played it along with Ern Gass, who's a dear friend of mine. He's a great actor. It was wonderful to have him in that scene.

Speaker 2: 32:49

I'm being convicted in the Democrat Party. They're trying to throw me out because I'm too conservative for their philosophies and their beliefs, so they're throwing me out. It's based on 2024. It's only 45 minutes. It's kind of between a short film and a full length feature.

Speaker 2: 33:16

The problem of media and how media can sway thoughts. Right now, what happened with that scene was they're convicting me of being a racist. They're convicting me, or they're trying to pin on me, that I'm an abuser of women, that I'm dealing with Iran in terrible ways, all of which were false. And this scene comes after some of these labels they're putting on me and I'm meeting with my campaign director, who Earned Gas plays his buddy, and we're having a very personal conversation about him and his father and how close we were. So it dispels everything they're trying to throw against me and the film clearly shows those two different things and I've got to make a decision, and that decision, as the senator, is do I run for a third party candidacy or not? And that's a pivotal scene in the display of who this guy really is.

Speaker 1: 34:03

I think the premise is incredible and the acting was very, very good. You and Buddy did a fantastic job, so I like that. I like that Acting is an interesting world for a Christian man. Like you said before, many believers have found themselves pressed to do things. They make them uncomfortable or they represent a compromise of their faith, morals or belief systems. What kind of advice would you give to maybe perhaps Christian actors or actresses that are listening right now, that are either in the industry or pondering getting into it? How do they kind of maintain the line and not blur it or step over it? How do you, how would you encourage them if they were listening right now?

Speaker 2: 34:45

Well, I think I would say that it does become a difficult decision because there are some roles that you know would advance your career in this, in this profession, if you took them, because they're really well-written and they're really good. But you know, when they cross the line into something that, personally, is not what you want to promote. It is a difficulty because most what would call faith-based they call it or Christian films, whatever label most are not really as good as you hope they would be, because they sometimes don't represent a show, real life and how it is. So I think what it comes down to, you have to really be tuned in to what's acceptable based on your faith and your belief system, and I can't you know everybody's going to be different on that. I mean, there's some great A-list actors who are giving Christian talks, who you see the films they're in and it's kind of rough. But that's their personal, that's their personal choice. They have to answer those questions to themselves and God have to answer those questions to themselves and how and God? But so I think, um, I think that it's a personal thing, step case by case and and then you've got to make that choice.

Speaker 2: 36:03

If I do it, is it something I'm hearing that's okay to do, even if it's not. Even if it crosses, let's say let's. Even if it crosses, let's say some words that are not something we'd use in day-to-day speaking, but sometimes those words are necessary if the character is portraying a real person. Otherwise it's not going to be believable to people. So we can't be caught up in this righteous mentality all the time. If we want a message to get out, it still has to be real. But you kind of know when things cross the line, and then at least I know when they cross the line. But they're not easy. But I say you've got to stick to your personal beliefs. You've got to be really true to that and true to what's right to your personal beliefs.

Speaker 2: 36:56

You've got to be really true to that and true to what's right, and otherwise we're just giving in. And I think if we stick to that, if it listen, if this never happens for me as an actor because I didn't take particular roles and I don't want it, I got out of it once I'll get out of it again, but I'm following the path that I know I need to follow.

Speaker 1: 37:18

Yeah, I respect your resolve, brother. I think our viewers would love to hear about your faith journey. Would you mind sharing how you found the Lord Jesus Christ and the impact of that on your goals in business and Austin Entertainment? Can you kind of share that with us a little bit?

Speaker 2: 37:31

Yeah, when I was in early high school, uh, I went to a church a nazarene church, a bible-based it was great like a speaker the reverend, reverend shavu, he was unbelievable, he was, uh, he was a great speaker. And I got into a youth group there. It was a very you know, it was a group of great guys and all the same age level and he was the youth group pastor I'm sorry, the youth group pastor who was leading it. I remember at that point believing in Christ and accepting and going in that lifestyle with younger people in high school was a great thing. But sometimes we don't always understand why churches and people make decisions they make. And our youth group pastor got fired from that position and this was something he loved. He was 20, maybe 30, and he'd gotten a divorce and the pastor of the church did not accept that divorce. And the pastor of the church did not accept that and he had his own beliefs. I mean he was the man of God of the church. I mean he decided who was going to be representative of the people that he put in charge and he didn't accept that. But that caused the youth group, because we liked this guy so much and we knew he dedicated his life. His marriage didn't work out, that who knows. We didn't know his personal details, but but he was let go and that was the end of the youth group. And so I kind of went. I kind of went my own way, as most of the younger people did until, uh, about eight, nine years ago.

Speaker 2: 39:17

You always have that base of what's right and you always have that knowledge, but sometimes you know what happens overrules that, because you just fall to it and you start doing things that you know aren't right and it's not getting you in the right places, you're not getting to where you want to be, the way you want to be. And until about eight years ago maybe it was nine years ago or maybe ten now things changed and it all came back around. And when you get back on track, all those things come back to you and that whole, it all came back around and it started to. When you get back on track, you know all those things come back to you and you realize that that we're just you know we're just floating around, wondering which way to go If we don't have that guidance and that and that strong belief inside that says no, listen to what I'm telling you, this is the way you got to go. Even if you don't like it, you do it.

Speaker 2: 40:18

But without that, you're just floating around, you're lost and people don't know what to do. And so, yeah, it's all come back, man, and I'd say but people say, well, how do you? This is important, and I don't know how much time we have left. What do we have left? How do you want brother?

Speaker 2: 40:35

Okay, here's the thing I want to make a point of Mr Yu. I started acting because of that open door when my wife was at the church service on a Wednesday night and I never acted. I was in one play in high school but I knew I probably could do it. That started it. But here's how I knew that I was on the path.

Speaker 2: 40:55

People say well, how do you hear from God? How do you? What does he talk to you? Well, I don't know Some people, some people claim they hear from God. I'll give you two. I'll give you two examples on how other ways you can hear from them. So when I knew I had to find a job to work, I mentioned Publix. The reason I wasn't shocked and knew I had to do it was because for two weeks before my friend Bruce told me I should work for Publix, I would walk by the supermarket and see sign wanted in the window sign wanted. And I laughed at that. I said there's no way I'm going to work in a super and I mocked it and I laughed at it. Okay, you should never do that because Absolutely, that's the last laugh.

Speaker 1: 41:42

Write that down. Never do that.

Speaker 2: 41:45

Never do it, because then you got to do it. So I knew I was on the right, but that's one way I heard on that. In acting it happened in a different way. The door opened and I didn't. The door opened and I didn't have any acting things. I didn't have any reel I could put together.

Speaker 2: 42:00

I'd only been you know, I just did that one little scene that happened with the Christian film. I get an agent and that's not. I still don't know what's going on. And the first role I get is for the School of the Arts down in Savannah, scad, the school down there and it was for a silent movie. Oh, wow, yeah, it was kind of half silent but mostly silent. And I said, well, it looked good, it was called Matinee and my job. So here's the thing. The director was a senior, it was for a senior thesis film. Okay thing. The director was a senior, it was for a senior thesis film. Okay, and he says Trey, I want you to meet me at a cafe in Walterborough with the lady that's going to play your wife in this role in the scene in the film.

Speaker 2: 42:47

This guy was really, really good, this guy here I know he's doing some great stuff today and so I go down there and I'm waiting for him to get there because we're going to discuss the role of this. And I'm sitting there with this lady who comes up on the porch. They had some rocking chairs and I said are you going to play the? I assume she was going to play my wife in the thing. So we're talking for like five or 10 minutes and she says to me where are you? Where are you from originally? I said I'm from New Bedford in Massachusetts. She says where are you? She says what high school did you go to? I said I went to New Bedford High. She says, well, I'm from Dartmouth. I'm from the town just right over a few minutes away. And she said I went there. Well, come to find out. We knew everybody, we just didn't know each other. So here she is, she's playing the first role I get she's going to play and I had an immediate connection with her. It was just wonderful. So the director gets there. He says you guys seem like you know each other. I said yeah, we do. He said it was phenomenal. I said you're a great casting director, we know each other. It was phenomenal. I said you're a great casting director, we know each other.

Speaker 2: 43:55

But here's the thing that was instrumental. We're sitting down at the table and he says to me I want to explain this character. You Trey, this guy, the guy you're playing, bill, is. He's had a job he's held on for too long. He's about to lose everything. His wife has gone through trouble in her life. She married you because you love the theater, you buy the theater. Now it's going out of business because videos come in. You held on. Now your whole business is going to be lost and at the end of the film you die and have a heart attack and leave your wife to go on on her own with nothing, ah jeez.

Speaker 2: 44:29

So I'm looking and as he's saying this to me, I'm thinking about my life at that time. Saying this to me, I'm thinking about my life at that time. A house was potentially under foreclosure because I held on to my business. I had done with my wife for way too long. My house this is in real life now. It's paralleling my life. So he's looking at me. He says do you think that you can play this guy? And I said, yeah, I'm that guy. Wow.

Speaker 2: 45:00

So what I heard with that was and the last final story on that is, that's a way again that you can hear that when something so phenomenal like that happens, a connection with this lady, a connection with my life, connection with this lady, a connection with my life that God opened the door to acting. It's showing me that. So what I heard from that was if I don't change and do different things, publics selling cars real all things I didn't want to do. If I don't change my life and start redirecting my business and ending it, then I'm going to end up like the guy at the end of the movie I'm going to have a heart attack and my wife's going to go on without me. It was that hardcore man, and so the last thing I'll say on that and we can change topics, whatever, but here's the last thing I think that's so vital for people to hear. When you get a message like that, or when you get a message that you know it's clear and it comes out that you think it's out of the blue but it isn't, if you don't do it, yeah, I think you're asking for trouble, regardless of how hard. You gotta heed the word. So here's the thing.

Speaker 2: 46:07

We filmed the whole movie matinee in savannah before christmas break. Christmas break comes, we have one scene left to go. We had the death scene. Now, look, I hadn't. This is my first main role. I never did a death scene. They said, well, we're going to come back after the holiday in February and we're going to shoot the death scene. So I said, man, the movie's gone great. Now, if I screw up this death scene.

Speaker 3: 46:33

The whole movie's shot, so here's, if I screw, up this death scene, the whole movie, the whole movie's shot.

Speaker 2: 46:38

So here's the key and this is this is the beautiful thing, okay, and this is a moving, just beautiful thing. I'm driving down to savannah and at the same week I'm driving down to savannah is the week out my wife and I was sending out letters to our old clients telling them we're out of that business. That was killing me and we were not to step foot back in that business again. And I'm driving to Savannah. I'm worried about all kinds of stuff. I'm worried about the letters going out, but I understand that's what we got to do. I'm worried about doing a realistic death scene. And I'm halfway to Savannah and Nina calls me in the car and she says listen, when you do that death scene today down there, no matter how it happens, no matter what room it's in and you've on the floor, think of it this way, think of it as you were, putting to death the old ways of doing things and starting new. Let it all. Leave it all. Leave everything you're worried about on the floor of that house.

Speaker 1: 47:46

You got to love Neiman.

Speaker 2: 47:49

Listen. You have to because that sets me straight and I had no more fear. No more fear. The scene came out great. I left it on the floor. It added the extra feel to what was going on there, but it did it in such a beautiful transitional way.

Speaker 2: 48:09

And that's how we know, we know when we get these messages and we get these messages given to us that are so outrageous, so the chances of things that happen just there's no chance for that, there's no probability Then I think it's a clear indication that's very possible, a message you should be listening to.

Speaker 2: 48:29

And also, it gives you that assurance that I'm going to stay on this path, gives you that assurance that I'm going to stay on this path. And when I left acting after that first visit to China, I was hearing that it's time to back out. You know, and I knew that and my prayer at that point was I said, lord, if you want me to go back into acting, then you're going to have to open the door because I'm not doing another audition. You're going to have to open the door because I'm not doing another audition.

Speaker 2: 48:57

And as ironic and with the sense of humor that he has, he has me on Sunset Boulevard, where every billboard is about a. It's about a movie or somebody. It's about it's promoting movies, it's a promoting actors. Well, of course, in the secular way, it's all these movies that we see that we don't really some we like, some we don't. But that irony, uh, that's when he opened the door to doing a feature film. And one last thing the feature film was never released because it made Trump look strong, it made the US look great and China stopped it from international release. So be it. But it taught me a lot of lessons. That's where it's at, man. No big shock there is it?

Speaker 1: 49:41

That's where we're at. Before we transition into another aspect of your acting, I want to share with our viewers and listeners another clip. Yeah, hold on for a moment, we'll go ahead and bring that through and you can prep it for us afterwards, alright, yeah?

Speaker 2: 49:55

Jack, I won. I finally tracked you down.

Speaker 3: 50:04

I.

Speaker 2: 50:05

Mr President, okay, it's all right, it's all right. Sorry, mr President. You still won't be hearing you're fired and one body slam is nothing. Tell your master I kind of miss him If it takes another body slam for me to see him around here again.

Speaker 3: 50:48

I accept. Good.

Speaker 2: 51:04

So what's going on?

Speaker 1: 51:04

here real quick.

Speaker 2: 51:05

Yeah, real quick. We uh, this was uh. I fly over to beijing. I've studied these lines for a month and I get over there and this is a scene that comes right at the end of the film. They don't do things in sequence. You know these films. So this was at the end of the film and I don't. I mean, I studied the lines.

Speaker 2: 51:25

So when I go to that scene where I find the guy I've been looking for the whole movie and I find him and I realize he's not the guy I thought he was going to be I start giving my lines and then he starts talking to me, as you heard, in Chinese, chinese. And I'm thinking to myself I'm in trouble, because they never told me the guy was going to be speaking Chinese to me. They gave me the lines in English. His name's Mike on the script. So I've studied a month worth of a lot of lines, not knowing what it's, not knowing what it sounded like in Chinese. So the beautiful thing here is they had. So we go there. I'm waiting all day. It's the first day on set, the guy that I'm acting with. That guy's name is John Guo Li. He is one. He's like the George Clooney of China. So they have me with one of the biggest actors in China. Wow, he brings an entourage in. They all get these coats on his fans. They're all in there protecting him. I'm in this cold warehouse from eight o'clock.

Speaker 2: 52:25

We shot that scene at about 1030 at night. I'm waiting to film. Nobody speaks English and then all of a sudden, then all of a sudden, he speaks Chinese and I say what the heck did he say? So now I've got to think of the lines and blocks. So I went out to the portal party. I couldn't even find the restroom in this place. I lines and blocks.

Speaker 2: 52:48

So I went out to the portal party. They didn't. I couldn't even find the restroom in this place. I go to the portal party and I we had a break because we had to cut that scene a few times because I had to figure out what he was. You know what was the last line so I could respond. I just put a prayer up. I said Lord, lord, you have got to help me say what I need to say when I need to say it. The scenes came out great. It was phenomenal. I was in 18 scenes with him throughout the film and just great actor. But all he really knew how to say was Mr President, mr President, and he's something else, but we got it done, man.

Speaker 2: 53:21

Love it, love it God's direction. There it is again.

Speaker 1: 53:25

I love that. Now your acting has taken you into an interesting acting place and then another project after that. I want to talk about the commercials. You are known as the man for the Perkins Restaurant franchise. My question I'm going to ask you how you got the part. I can figure it out. But my question about this is do you have to pay for a meal at Perkins or do you get it for free forever? That's my only question I want to know about Perkins. Perkins do you pay for a meal or do you get it free forever, for perpetuity?

Speaker 2: 53:59

I need to talk to my agent about that, because he should have he should have You're the man, I am the man.

Speaker 2: 54:09

We did 60 to sell those commercials some of the most fun I've had doing films. That happened after I got back from China. That's when the doors started opening again and you know there's a story behind that. I did this audition and you do them on video. Okay, by the way, if there's some actors out there and they want to know how to, or people thinking about it, I'm happy to show them how to get started. But here's the thing that's awesome I did this thing on video and I get the role.

Speaker 2: 54:37

So they fly me down to Florida at this Perkins and I meet the director from California and he tells me the story the next night, when we had some free time. He says to me Trey, you know this is a very weird thing, man. He says I wanted you for the role the way you did the audition. He said so when we did the callbacks, because you sometimes have to do a follow-up callback and videotape it again. He says when I did the callbacks we lost for some reason it didn't tape. So when we showed it to the customer, we did not have your callback video. All we had was the original one that I like so much, so we couldn't show it to him. We said all we got is this he says there were over 300 guys lobbying for that spot Because he lost the callback video, they used the original and that stuck with these folks and he got his way and that's how it became so, so and again.

Speaker 2: 55:34

That's another way that things can be orchestrated. That are just phenomenal things. Man. Listen, if I sound like a broken record on that, it's only because I keep seeing the way that he works.

Speaker 1: 55:45

Oh, that's good, yeah, it's awesome. Talk to your agent man, because there's a problem there. If you can't get a free meal at A Perkins worldwide, we got a problem. You're the man at Perkins. Okay, they call you the man for a reason that should be free meals forever For you and your family.

Speaker 1: 56:05

Okay, I don't understand that one. Okay, at least. Okay, let's, let's go ahead and move on. But you share with me, uh, some genuine excitement about a recent work. You started in narrating audiobooks. I think you did one called the moral walker, jack krause's private war. How did you enter into that new field and what's it been like to narrate audio books? I think you got the voice for it. I think everybody that's listening can hear that. But what was what would you like to step into that new field outside of your, your norm, I guess, with acting and real estate and such?

Speaker 2: 56:36

Yeah, I've always had a fascination as a young kid listening to Walter Cronkite, eric Severide these great news reporters, newscasters that had a certain thing about them. Recently well, not recently back then with Gene Shepard, I read his short stories. He was the guy that wrote the Christmas Story with Ralphie. Gene Shepard is the narrator on that film. I just love his voice. I always had this fascination as a young kid with voice, because that's all you get is just a voice and that has to move you to a degree. That's interesting and it's a very special thing that people can do that. But I never thought of doing it until COVID shut everything down work and the movie stuff. All that stuff got shut down in 2020 or 20, whenever that was, I forgot. Now I don't want to think about it 2020 sounds about right.

Speaker 2: 57:31

But it all got shut down. And that's when I had a friend of mine who had done a book the Mall Walker actually a cousin of mine, the Mall Walker and I liked the story a lot and he said, will you narrate it? And so I immediately jumped into recording, figuring out how to do clean recordings, how to make a long narration sound level. I learned that very quickly as I was doing that first book. That has led to I think I have about 40 or 30 some odd books up there now. That's incredible and a lot of fiction. Some of you know they're all different types but it led to and I'm still perfecting that. You perfect all the time. You practice and you do it, and it's been a very interesting and exciting thing to meet authors who are really good and you get to personally know them as you're doing this reading, because you're consulting on chapter by chapter. That's the way I do it and what a thrill that is. You know to work with other artists that are good in that particular field. That's awesome.

Speaker 2: 58:40

And the last book I did was the Trump Prophecies. It's interesting because in the Pegasus I played a Trump-like president. In the third party, the acting world, I played Ted Stewart, who was more of a Trump-like candidate than even though he was a Democrat moving over getting the first big, major, best-selling book that came out in 2016 by Mark Taylor, who's a fireman from Florida who wrote the Trump Prophecies first book when they expanded it. I did the audition and got that assignment. So here I am talking about my kids are going to hate me. Here I am talking about Trump again. I'm sorry, girls, I've got four daughters, two little grandkids. They probably even know too, but I talk about him because it's just the world we're in and I like the guy. But the bottom line is all these connections with that and this book is really selling.

Speaker 2: 59:37

Well, the audio book has been out for about a month on Audible Trump Prophecies the expanded edition and I just have a thrill. This is just a thrill. I never thought I would be doing this. So what a beautiful, natural thing because you can do it at home, you can do it according to your schedule and it's a dramatic thing. That, I think, is even a little more difficult Well, not difficult, but a little more challenging and it's got to be a lot more nuanced than strictly acting. You know, and it's such a personal thing, you know, you put a pair of people listening with their earphones when you listen to a voice in your head. That's that close. You hear everything. You hear the voice, you hear the breath, you hear the little subtleties. Yeah, absolutely, and it's a very personal thing, especially if you're doing an emotional novel or an emotional section of a book. It's just beautiful, man.

Speaker 1: 1:00:32

I love it yeah well, your story is inspirational, man. There's no question about that. We got one more final question for you. I'm in a space where I'm doing a lot of new things right now and at my age I know people get that wrong all the time, everywhere I go my entire life. They never got it right. They're not getting it right now, but at my age it's normally not common to do some of the things that I'm doing or contemplating doing, but you've been experiencing so many new things in your life yourself. What would you say to those that are contemplating, tackling new challenges and chasing their dreams, like you have, but doing it from a different age range, if you will? How would you encourage them?

Speaker 2: 1:01:21

Yeah, I want to. I want to mention an uncle that I had who was in his. He's an inspiration to me, he. He was a senator for a little while. He was a pharmacist, but at age 70, he became a pediatrician. Wow, at age 70. He lived to almost 100.

Speaker 2: 1:01:38

But to him nothing was too late. I love this, but to him nothing was too late. So I think that that's the problem you know people have is well, I can't do it. Well, this guy was 70 and started a business out of his home as a pediatrician where the patients would come to him, and it was a whole new life for him until he finally retired, I think in his late 80s, maybe early 90s. So nothing's too late. With proper direction and knowing that you're following the path you should be on to the young people. You've got to figure out what you will do, what you won't do, and you've got to make those personal decisions for yourself and decide which way you're going to do it and just stick to that, because you know nothing's fast, nothing's fast.

Speaker 2: 1:02:33

I've been doing audiobooks since I guess it's been five years, four years now, roughly four years. While I have a number of them up there, it's still to get one that breaks open the door a little bit better. It's a process and you have to devote yourself to it, and, as I mentioned a little bit before Mr Yu, I'll give my acting website, tregmontiactor at gmailcom. We'll have it posted somewhere. But Tregmonteactor at gmailcom, if anybody's thinking of that and they really like the idea, there's certain things that I can at least share with them to help them, you know, begin to open that door a little bit. Okay, thank you for doing that. If somebody wants to buy a million-dollar house or a $2 million house on Isle of Palms, I'm here to help them with that too. But no, and also, we're just here to do our thing.

Speaker 1: 1:03:30

Thank you for that too.

Speaker 2: 1:03:33

Help people, get you know, get to where they feel they are going and listen for those directions. So it's a beautiful thing, man. We'll help people when we can. Thanks, Mr I appreciate it, thank you. Thank you so much, though, for having me.

Speaker 1: 1:03:49

Thank you, brother.

Speaker 2: 1:03:50

We've known each other and listen. Like you said earlier, those things you shared with me, I had no idea until we start talking more in depth. You know spontaneously about what we do. Then we find out just how interesting the life's parallel a little bit as to what you've done. That's an awesome question.

Speaker 1: 1:04:10

We're talking about the Bible. It amazes me that we can get to the point where we make age a real thing or make it an impediment, when the Bible does the exact opposite. If you read these stories and dig into it and get beyond the surface part of the scripture and the main characters, the main subjects of the stories or the accounts, check out these people's ages. Check out how old people are. They're doing things in the 70s, 80s, even 90 years old. Abraham is a great example of that. Look what he did at age 99. Come on now. Age is definitely not, shouldn't be a thing. Like you said, I love that part so much. Nothing's too late. Your story is inspirational to me because I'm doing things right now and contemplating things that, honestly, if I said it out loud in front of people, they'd be like what? You're way too old to be thinking about that? Yeah, perhaps, but I'm going to attack it anyway because that's just how I'm living. You've been a great inspiration man. Thank you so much. I hope that everybody's been listening and will watch on the replay. They get value out of this because I know I have myself.
