My agent called me about being a part of the reboot of Fear Factory - complete with a now bald Joe Rogan. As I like Rogan's podcast quite a bit I figured it'd be a really fun experience. My agent also told me that they couldn't afford a SHL player with the shows budget, which is why they'd settle on me. I'm not sure why he'd include that, I think the guy is just an ass.

Anyways, I arrive on set and quickly realize the first stunt is one of those 'eat maggots/insects/testicles' schticks. I wasn't too happy about this, but fuck it, I already signed the contract. So I go into my position behind one of the tables with gross shit on it and awaited the take. As soon as I got there Rogan started looking at me weirdly. Before I manage to ask him what's up, the producer starts yelling at me to do my fucking job. Long story short; I wasn't hired to be a participant on the show - I was hired to hold the fucking boom mic.

I just figured I dodged a bullet not having to eat bugs and held the mic for a day or two. Wasn't that bad, pay was OK. 6/10.
