Virtually unknown in the entertainment industry, this brave man is in pursuit of one goal & purpose; to become a nationally syndicated late night talk show host. This is the quest of Motown Maurice.

I didn't have anyone to play with on Wednesday so I decided to work on my serve. That's probably my first time in 7 plus years. I actually enjoyed myself and I proved my serve. Now, I intend on doing that more often, probably for basketball too. I played ball by myself a couple weeks ago and it was also great. Cheers to solo play and improvements. In addition, as previously predicted, my foot is much better.

My partner describes it as plantar fasciitis. There have been moments where I could barely walk in the morning. I was forced to invest in some orthopedic sandals and started soaking my feet last month. Thankfully, there wasn't much pain when it was time to play sports but the aftermath was real. </p><p>On Tuesday, it got bad resulting in a lost tennis match I should've won. The feet weren't the only issue. I had a bad racquet, it was in the morning and the sun was impacting my serve. </p><p>Nonetheless, I'm glad it happened. I immediately made adjustments. Epsom salt for soaking my feet. Demoed a new racquet and played the next match at night. </p><p>My feet are not perfect but it's better. Less than two weeks later, I soaked my in ice, instead of hot water, which I was doing before. I also got some compression soaks in Week 690.</p><p><br /><span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Sunday, November 19, 2023</b></span><br /><br />* SCC demo editing...</p><p>* Digitizing WaW footage... </p><p>* Watching Lakers game...</p><p><br /><b><span style="background-color: yellow;">Monday, November 20, 2023</span></b> </p><div>* Digitizing WaW footage... </div><div><br /></div><div>* Pop visit...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Tuesday, November 21, 2023</b><br /><br />* Tennis with Jeff.

That's until I got the idea to video record at least one episode per season. This weekend's shoot ended up using 3 cameras. Two cell phones and a DSLR camera. In post-production, I used Preimere's multi-camera editing feature for the first time. It turned out to be a good learning experience. </p><p><br /><span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Sunday, October 15, 2023</b></span><br /><br />* Pickleball...<br /><br />* Watching Gremlins Secrets of the Mogwai...<br /><br /></p><p><b style="background-color: yellow;">Monday, October 16, 2023</b></p><div>* Tennis...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Podcast editing...</div><div> </div><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Tuesday, October 17, 2023</b><br /><br />* Basketball...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Returning emails...<br /><br /><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Wednesday, October 18, 2023</b><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>* Rescheduled Starbucks meet up with...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b style="background-color: yellow;">Thursday, October 19, 2023</b><br /><br /></div><div>* Tennis...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Podcast post...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Friday, October 20, 2023</b><br /><br />* Computer stuff...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Ring Fit workout...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Started watching Transformers: Rise of the Beasts...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b style="background-color: yellow;">Saturday, October 21, 2023</b><br /><br /></div><div>* Podcast recording with Kori...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Finished watching Transformers: Rise of the Beasts...<br /><br /></div><div><br />As the quest continues...<br /><br /><b>The Future of Late Night</b><br /><br /><a href="http://motownmaurice.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #7a5921; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-decoration-line: none;">Motown Maurice</a></div>The Quest of a Late Night Talk Show Host by Motown Mauricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17292378258202464790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594070832008562761.post-46597066148199908652023-11-06T10:39:00.000-08:002023-11-06T10:39:05.556-08:00Week 682: Podcasting Life<p><b style="background-color: yellow;">Weekly Written Review </b></p>Sip & Chat Cafe is just yet another project that's taking far more time than expected to produce but it has to be done the right way and the right way requires time. <div><br /><br /><span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Sunday, October 8, 2023</b></span><br /><br />* Pickleball...<div><br /></div><div>* Trader Joe's...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Podcast editing...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Watching Tenet...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Started watching Gremlins Secrets of the Mogwai...<br /><br /><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Monday, October 9, 2023</b><br /><br /></div><div>* Podcast editing...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Tennis and pickleball afterward... </div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Tuesday, October 10, 2023</b><br /><br />* Basketball...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Podcast editing...<br /><br /><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Wednesday, October 11, 2023</b><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>* Podcast episode review...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Thursday, October 12, 2023</b><br /><br /></div><div>* Podcast post...</div><div><br /></div><div>* AOH FB Ad...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Friday, October 13, 2023</b><br /><br />* Tennis...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Podcast prepping...<br /><br /><br /></div><div><b style="background-color: yellow;">Saturday, October 14, 2023</b><br /><br /></div><div>* Podcast recording with Grace...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Watching Elemental...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Watching Gremlins Secrets of the Mogwai with Atarah...</div><div><br /></div><div><br />As the quest continues...<br /><br /><b>The Future of Late Night</b><br /><br /><a href="http://motownmaurice.com/" style="background-color: white; color: #7a5921; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-decoration-line: none;">Motown Maurice</a></div></div></div>The Quest of a Late Night Talk Show Host by Motown Mauricehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17292378258202464790noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2594070832008562761.post-74170570906024213962023-10-10T13:52:00.001-07:002023-10-10T22:41:25.022-07:00Week 681: Sponsored Ads<p><b style="background-color: yellow;">Weekly Written Review </b></p><div>When grassroots marketing is ineffective pay for Facebook ads.

Plus, it was for a lead role. I enjoyed the prep. The process was good. I had the best help. I'm glad I did it and I had a sense of hope after submitting but that didn't last long. Decisions for shows can take a while but I'm assuming they won't take long in most cases. I'll never know if they liked my character interpretation and it probably doesn't matter if I was great or not. I later learned that even though I'm on SAG hiatus, I'm most likely not eligible for a non-union project. I'll have to follow up on that research another day.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Sunday, September 24, 2023</b></span><br /><br />* Yardwork...<div><br /></div><div>* Jackparty Box with T<br /><br /><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Monday, September 25, 2023</b><br /> </div><div>* Return to...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Resting...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Atarah pickup...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Tuesday, September 26, 2023</b><br /><br />* Basketball...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Podcast planning...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Harddrive organizing...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Wednesday, September 27, 2023</b><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>* Audition notice...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Thursday, September 28, 2023</b><br /><br /></div><div>* Tennis...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Facebook ad...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Friday, September 29, 2023</b><br /><br />* Audition submission.

My delusional mind tricks me again. For months I've envisioned responses of excitement from people involved but that's not the case. I can acknowledge cool feedback from a couple people but not much from people I actually interviewed. Not one phone call. Oh well. I did put out a few paid ads and the results are much better from strangers. <div><br /><br /><span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Sunday, September 17, 2023</b></span><br /><br />* Basketball attempt.

First time I submitted to anything in a long while. I paid for the submission because I don't have a subscription. To my surprise, I wasn't selected but I began wondering if I should reenter the life of auditions again. I concluded, yes and no. Mostly no because I don't want to fully indulge in that type of life anymore but I'll take whatever comes to me. Then on Wednesday, I received a surprise email from my agent from over 3 1/2 years ago. They're back in business and it appears we're a team again.</p><p>When the pandemic hit in 2020, they vanished without explanation. Now that they're back, an explanation would be nice but it's not that serious. I'll take the representation and keep it moving. If I book one or two things and put a little money in my pocket, why not. This came without effort and I have no expectations. That's my preferred approach to the entertainment industry. </p><p><br /></p><p><span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>Sunday, September 3, 2023</b></span></p><div>* Pickleball...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Errands with Atarah...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Monday, September 4, 2023</b><br /><br /></div><div>* SCC Ep3 with Coach PK...</div><div> </div><div>* Tennis...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Tuesday, September 5, 2023</b><br /><br />* Basketball...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Pickleball...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Podcast editing...<br /><br /><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Wednesday, September 6, 2023</b><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>* Podcast publishing...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Errands...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Twilight Entertainment Management...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Thursday, September 7, 2023</b><br /><br /></div><div>* Flight...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Tennis...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><b style="background-color: yellow;">Friday, September 8, 2023</b><br /><br />* Food run...</div><div><br /></div><div>* Apollo TV trial...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b style="background-color: yellow;">Saturday, September 9, 2023</b><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>* Watching women's US Open.
