Thoughts on Three Stooges Documentary, Hey Moe! Hey Dad!

Transcription

Business TV show: Hey Moe! Hey Dad!

I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Hey Moe! Hey Dad! is a mini-series that was put out, back I believe in 2015. I believe there are eight or nine episodes of it and it’s one full story.

Why am I bringing up the three stooges?

When it comes to business there’s a whole lot you can learn from this stuff. But let me take it back a little further.

The reason why I’ll love to make recommendations for movies and TV shows is that it gives you a very different view than say, you know how-to books, which is a lot of what I focus on, you know, like my, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business. If you haven’t got a free copy yet, get it now while you can. And after you get your free copy, you’ll get the option to get an audiobook and a hard copy of it, you might want to look into AmazonProofBook.com. Go to AmazonProofBook.com for that very special deal.

I don’t know how long it’s going to last. So be sure and catch it while you can. So let’s talk about movies and TV shows. Now, this is kind of a mix because what this rule is is is a mini-series, this was a mini-series.

This is as if you had a very long documentary about the lives of the Three Stooges, that’s been stretched out and split out into eight different episodes. For me personally, this was fabulous, because I grew up with the three stooges.

But before I get too deep into that, let me continue on with the concept of why you should look at movies and TV shows and specifically documentaries. In specifically in that realm. Even when it comes to books. I love biographies, and autobiographies give you a different look in it helps encapsulate a person’s life.

You get to step back and you get to see it through the eyes of the writer or director or you know, producer of the movie. And you get to see from their point of view, and then you can kind of take it back to put it into your own point of view and see, okay, what do I relate with this person and what do I not relate to this person?

What can I learn from their life and what can I take away and move on my own and what can I see in other people and so on so forth?

That this is the story of our life is something that will never be able to be encapsulated in a book or a movie. But the fact that we can take an outside perspective and put it out there, and then yeah, and then be able to relive it a little bit and be able to learn something from their lives. That’s priceless. And that’s why I really enjoy biographies, anything of a biographical nature.

This is an interesting movie, because this mini-series takes Paul Howard, and who Paul Howard is he is the only son of Moe Howard. Now he also had a daughter who was also in the movie. But this is mostly from the perspective of Paul. Paul grew up having Moe Howard as his father.

Moe Howard is one of the main characters of the Three Stooges. And he goes through really talking about a life of living with a very famous person in a very, very odd type of famous person because really, they were the international clowns of America. They took a vaudeville show, and expanded upon it, and created something for the movie screen on an international basis that no one has ever experienced.

And then through the years, it morphed into different ideas and different concepts. But still, it’s very much a clown show. That’s what it is.

This is a situation of extreme entertainment, absolute theater of the absurd, and a whole bunch of different elements wrapped into one.

It’s interesting because with that you also see the highs and lows that come with success, which is also visible in business and there’s also a business side and interpersonal relationships, in terms of asking for what you’re worth versus not asking for what you’re worth being versus being too nice, versus wanting too much attention from people and not wanting too much attention.

And if you’re focused at all in an area where you have the ability to have any sense of notoriety or celebrity, and nowadays, it’s becoming more and more common with and it’s one of the things that I encourage you to do is that take advantage of the fact that celebrity is something that can be produced.

I talked about all my book, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business, you could check that out.

With that comes a whole lot of responsibility and a lot of people’s egos and backgrounds can handle the ability to be known without letting it go to their head.

And what you see is three brothers. So Moe, Curly, and Shemp, if you’re familiar with the three stooges, they were all brothers. And you see how each one of them dealt with celebrity differently, both in good and bad ways.

How it either allowed them to grow or destroyed them in the end. And you’ll have to watch the movie to see and also their friend, Louis Feinberg, who you know, as Larry from, The Three Stooges, how he plays into it, plus the two extra fellows that came toward the end, Joe Besser, and Curly Joe.

How these things all came into play, and how they went through popularity spikes through periods of time to where they were down in the gutter, and up into the stratosphere with how popular they were through the years.

Very, very, very interesting stuff that I never ever knew or had ever heard about. And it’s funny because I had never even heard this of this movie, of this series.

It’s worth checking out right now. But at the time of this recording it’s playing on to be, which is a free app, and both for Roku and you get it on your phone. That’s TUBI, you go check that out. I know it’s playing there.

I know they have a DVD out there, that’s a pretty decent price over on Amazon. The name of that show again is Hey, Moe! Hey Dad!

All from the perspective of the son of Moe. And but gives you a very thorough, I think, a very fair examination of the lives and success and failure of the Three Stooges, which is it’s just an incredible subject.

But it’s the story of humans and that’s what you just got to understand. And within that is we’ve through this concept of all these things that you have to deal with when you’re dealing with business, both success, and failure.

So love to hear what you think if you’ve seen it already. Leave me a comment down below. Let me know what you think.

Am I wrong?

Was this not really interesting?

I thought it was a kick. Plus, I’m sorry, I love The Three Stooges. I grew up with this stuff. As I got older, I went back and rewatched it and you find all these little intricate little jokes throughout, especially the verbal play back and forth was just amazing, especially in the 30s and 40s. They just had some amazing scripts, and it’s good stuff. The plus the genius of Curly is tough to deny.

So hopefully you’ve enjoyed that. That’s all I got for tonight.

I’ll be back here tomorrow night. In the meantime, you know, get out there and let the magic happen. Yeah lunkheads.

Business TV Show: Generation Hustle.

Hi I’m Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Wanted to hit this is gonna be a quick, quick, quick one.

I just want to recommend a show for you, I’ve only seen the first three episodes. I’m watching it on HBO Max, I believe it’s across HBO, but it may only be on HBO Max.

Either way, it’s called, Generation Hustle.

Go and watch this show, it is all about con artists and people doing something that is fooling other people in a sense, it’s worth seeing.

It’s one of those things, I was not all that interested in growing up. Well, I mean, you’re always interested in the movies where it was the fun con artists, you know, the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, or, oh, what’s the other one that I can’t think of off the top of my head, The Sting, you know, good con artists movies.

But those are just fun little things.

But this is serious, these are actual situations, actual people that have been around for years. And they even have an episode on the Wework scenario that I talked about earlier, in another, another episode.

So go check out Generation Hustle that the thing about con artists, here’s what you can learn from them. Anything that can be done for bad can be done for good.

And these people are certainly in most cases, doing things for the bad reasons or for the bad results. But a person who has that type of creativity can just as I don’t know about just as easily, but they could work and use that energy in a good format.

And you can pull out so many good nuggets, and I will, I’ll get into specific episodes, maybe in a few weeks or a few months here.

Go back and pick out some of my favorite episodes of this show. Because there are so many good gold nuggets.

It all has to do with human behavior and how people view things

The good stuff, not the bad stuff.

Without you know you just messing them over. So generation hustle worth watching. It’s one it’s an anthology series, so every episode is completely different.

So just make sure and go out and watch that. I’d love to hear your thoughts on it.

That’s all I got for tonight.

Hey, go grab a copy of my book, 9 Ways to Amazon-Proof Your Business. Get a free one at AmazonProofBook.com. AmazonProofBook.com.

We’ll be back here tomorrow night. In the meantime, get out there and let the magic happen.

Life Goals Relate to Business Profits?

Rick & Elara Bowman – Backyard Green Films: Part 1
Rick & Elara Bowman – Backyard Green Films: Part 2

So how do your life goals relate to your business profits?

Hi I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Today we’re going to be discussing a conversation that I had on my podcast with Rick & Elara Bowman of Backyard Green Films. And you can listen to that conversation, it’s been split up into two episodes over at offthegridbiz.com.

The links are in the description to those two episodes, part one and part two.

That’s Rick & Elara Bowman.

Now they have started up a company called Backyard Green Films and they produce films straight out of their backyard.

I mean, it’s all done homemade. It’s all done with all their own equipment. Self-funded where they’re building documentaries.

They’ve already made documentaries before.

Right now they’re in the process of finishing up this documentary on the Holstein Dilemma, which is….well, I won’t ruin it for you.

Go and listen to the podcasts about that conversation where they actually discuss what their whole movie is about.

But the piece I wanted to bring to you here today is their concept of real life goals.

How they’ve created a whole lifestyle and it isn’t what many people would consider absolutely ideal.

It’s not about the ideal amount of money that you bring in or the perfect life.

It is more like what do we want to do?

What would be the funnest thing to do?

What would be the most fulfilling thing to do in our life and how can we do that and still hit all the practical points that we know we have to do. We gotta be able to pay the bills, gotta be able to do all those things.

How do we do that and make this work?

They’ve found a way to be able to do it and it’s not about making a certain amount of money.

It’s about having the certain lifestyle that you’re after.

I think that’s one of the most inspiring messages that they bring to these two episodes that they fill up over at offthegridbiz.com. It’s the Off the Grid Biz Podcast.

Go and listen to those two episodes and I think it’ll give you a perspective of how you can design your life.

Don’t get caught up on a specific number of how much money you need to make every month.

Yeah, that can be helpful in terms of the long run, but in the short run, you gotta be willing to work within the parameters of what you got in front of you and we’ve only got a short period of time here on earth.

You gotta work with what you’ve got and still be able to make a difference and still do what you’re passionate about and get out there and travel and do what all the things that you want to do.

It doesn’t take a million dollars, multi-millions of dollars to do some amazing things with your life and these are two people that are doing some incredible things.

I got to meet them over at the Mother Earth News Fair, in Albany, Oregon, where we got to meet so many people.

This is part of the series that we’ve put out all on the Mother Earth News Fair. People that we met there and all their interesting stories and how all of that relates back to business and it can be helpful to you, so go and listen to that audio.

You know, within the next week I’m going to be discussing some other really cool things that don’t have anything to do with the podcast.

One of them is a movie that I just finished tonight.

Now if you happen to have Netflix, I’m going to suggest you watch a movie called, and this is funny.

It’s called, Dolomite Is My Name.

This is with Eddie Murphy in it.

If you go and you watch this, it is based on a true real life story of somebody that came from nothing and built an entire persona and built an entire business out of it.

I’ve got to talk about how this relates back to your business.

Now, just to warn you, it’s extremely vulgar.

It’s extremely outrageous and not for kids, but if you can handle that, go and watch, Dolomite Is My Name and we’re going to be talking about that next week.

So I’ll give you some time to watch it.

I don’t want to have any spoilers, but it’s based on a true story and I think it’s actually inspiring and there’s a lot of great lessons in there that you can use and fit directly back into your business.

So if you’d like to be able to work with me and be able to talk some more about how these principles fit into your business, go to BrianJPombo.com and look at the options there.

Also, if you are in the self-reliance field, like Rick & Elara are, go to DreamBizChat.com. That link is also in the description DreamBizChat.com.

We’ll give you the chance to have a free Dream Business Transformation with me only. Take 60 minutes.
