You can call me Dude-Erino
I mean, socialists aren't usually good looking people are they?

Tyrants In Training Episode 18 -David Stokes as (Thumbs Up Symbol) of ThumberLand

The eighteenth episode in the history of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is screenwriter David Stokes.
Someone with an unexplained and some say unhealthy obsession with thumbs, David crashed landed on the island at the age of nine, because he flew the plane, and was quickly airlifted into the top floor of the mansion he resides in. Afraid of mirrors which he believes will take his soul away, thumbs up spends most of his days on zoom declaring orders that nobody with no thumbs may join the island and zooming in his cameo to the remake to the only Star Wars movie: A New Hope.  He assumes his people are carrying out his orders. 
 
He has made a friend, Trevor, a friendly man with no thumbs on his hands but does have thumb like baby toes. He has been spotted swinging across the bridge between the city and thumbs up castle and Trevor has a room just under thumbs up. Some say they are in a loving relationship but thumbs up refuses to answer that. 
 
Some quotes:
God is in the shape of a thumb. 
We do have a commercial and the tickets are very very cheap but the reason is the fact they don't know who is flying the plane. So it might be a pilot with 30 years experience, it might be John, who has had his 7th birthday and he's just behind there, pressing buttons. 
The chances of dying are astronomical and so people are kind of used to not leaving their homes. 
 

Tyrants In Training Episode 17 -Judge Cindy Begel : The Naboo People Versus Cedric Gegel

Seventeenth episode of the Tyrant In Training podcast. Hosted by Kevin Ryan. Today's guest is actor, screenwriter, director, youtuber Cedric Gegel on trial for his tyrannical ways in episode 5. Today's second guest is the unimpeachable, . stupendous and fair judge, TV writer and producer Cindy Begel 
 
The former M.C.P, the Most Celebrated Pomp of the Mediterranean island of Naboo, Cedric Gegel has been caught, put in a clown suit and brought into Cindy Begel's court. His crime? Abusing his power, spying on citizens who enjoy Shakespeare and maliciously destroying the mind of a beloved public servant. #Justice4Brian
Today's podcast is the trial. Cedric spinelessly defending himself and me, Kevin, heroically leading the prosecution team. Cedric will claim Brian is an "inept moron" who tried to start a war with Switzerland. Cedric will claim he knows nothing of a secret spying network the prosecution team randomly suggests might be real. Cedric will definitely be a much more polished speaker than Kevin BUT Judge Cindy immediately declares she doesn't trust actors. So the prosecution team might have a chance at winning this case!
Enjoy!  #CedricGeJail

Tyrants In Training Episode 15 - Detective Celine Laing

Episode 15 is a little different since I've an injury that means it's hard to sit down and edit. 
 
So this is a recording of my fiancee Celine Laing as Detective Celine Laing, hostage negotiator (wait does that mean she negotiates with hostages? She actually negotiates with the hostage takers!)
 
Det. Celine Laing is called in to rescue 100 hostages from an abandoned spam factory, her being specifically requested for by the hostage takers who are from her past.
