Hi Guys,

I got a call from the Dr. PHil Show!

Yup,that’s right!

Back June 25, 2008 I got a call from my good friend
and Olympic Trainer Scott Sanchez from Maui Hawaui.

He said Dr. Phil was looking for a few “BIG” guys from
Las Vegas that needed and wanted to lose weight, and
to be part of the Dr. Phil Weightloss Challenge Project.

Scott suggested that I apply for the show…
I’d get 6 weeks to totally focus on my health and
weight loss under the supervision trainers…

I auditioned and they called me the very next day saying
they were very interested in my being part of the upcoming
Dr Phil Show…

Need Some Inspiration?

Are you in need of some Motivation and Inspiration?

Have you been watching the Olympic Games?
If not, you are missing some great stuff.

Think about it, once every 4 years the best of the best in
the world of sports get together to compete.

Some of these athletes have been training for 10-15-20
years to compete in an event that could last less than
60 seconds!

Can you imagine that?
Training most of your adult life to participate in an
event that last less than 60 seconds!

Every athlete competing had to overcome many obsticles
just to get the honor and opportunity to compete in Beijing.

It’s a long road just getting to the Olympic Games and then
additional obsticles once you have arrived here.

The opening ceremony was breath taking!

The open Ceremony had 7ft.6 inch basketball player Yao Ming
from China walked in with this small 9 year old boy from China…

Talk about inspiring…

Turns out this little boy was in the earth quake a few months
ago. Most of his fellow classmates had died during the quake.
After he clawed his way out of the rubble he went back to
pull out 2 of his fellow classmates.

A reporter asked the little boy why he went back into the
rubble? And he replied, “I’m a hall monitor at my school
and that’s my job, to help and protect the other classmates.”

Wow!
Is that inspiring or what!

Now as far as the games, it has been totally thrilling.

How about that Michael Phelps???

He won his first Gold for these games on Saturday…
Then last night, (Sunday) he was in the 4 man relay…

This was one of the most exciting things I had ever seen.
Vickie and I could’nt take our eyes off the TV screen.

The announcer was saying all night that France was going to win
and that the Americans really didn’t have a chance.

Surprise!
The USA won by .02 of a second!

Whatever country you are from, we love watching excellence at
this level. These people are the best of the best.

So during the course of your week, if you need a little
inspiration, turn on the TV and watch the Olympics!

Have a Great Day,
Robby LeBlanc

 

How I Met Film Maker Sydney Pollack…

In case you didn’t know, Sydney Pollack recently pass away…
July 1, 1934 - May 26 2008…

Sydney Pollack was an Academy Award-winning director, producer, actor,
writer and public figure, who directed and produced over 40 films.

Films include: Michael Claton, The Interpreter, The Firm, Tootsie, Three
Days of the Condor, The Way We Were, and many more..

I was in San Francisco performing when I heard about the death of
Sydney Pollack and I never got a chance to write about it.

I met Sydney Pollack at the Cinevegas Film Festival in Las Vegas in 2002.
This film festivals is getting to be among the bigger ones in the world…

Everyone that attends a film festival has a reason for being there.
There are movie Directors, Producers, Actors, Distribution and wanna bees…

Bottom line, you want to get distribution for your film.

These events are always filled with, dinner partys, cocktail partys, world
premiers and tons of networking.

There is a saying….
It’s not who you know, but who knows you!

Well I was at this one crowded cocktail party at the Paris Hotel on
the Strip. Several hundred people werein this one ballroom and I noticed a
crowd around one person.

At first I couldn’t make it out, then I realized, it was Sydney Pollack.
There were 50 -60 people around him. They had him boxed in and he could
hardly move…

Everyone was asking questions and for autographs…

I was there for networking and wanted meet others in the industry.
Sydney Pollack was on my list of people to meet some day…

Well here he was, in the middle of a crowd and he can’t seem to move…

I yelled out to him…”Sydney, what are you drinking?”
Sydney responded…” Scotch on The Rocks”.

I went to the bar and order 2 Scotch on the rocks.

Then I proceeded to go back to the crowded Sydney and say, excuse me
drinks for Mr. Pollack, excuse me drinks for Mr. Pollack…

The crowd made room for me to get to him and I handed him 2 Scotch
on the rocks, one for each hand.

He winked at me and said to the crowd…” Ok folks I’m done for today and as
you can see I can’t write anymore and my assitant has something important to tell me”…

With that, Sydney Pollack put his arm around my shoulder with a drink still in
his hand and whispered in my ear thanks for saving me kid.

We proceeded to walk down this long hallway at the Paris hotel and no
one else followed us. It was just me and him…

Halfway down the hallway, Sydny stops and asks me…
“Can I help you with anything? You got a script
you wanna run buy me?”

I shared that I was just getting into the industry and asked if it was ok to
call him
in the future if I had a good script…

He said…
“Listen, you figured out how to get me out of
that crowd. You call me anytime.”

Well, that’s my Sydney Pollack Story…

Wouldn’t you know…I finally have a script For him!

Thanks For All The Movies Sydney…

Comic Jim Wiggins at ” Comedy After Hours” in Las Vegas

Hi Guys,

My good friend, legendary Comic Jim Wiggins came to town this last week at
the ” Comedy After Hours” Comedy Club in Las Vegas Nevada, inside the
Fitzgeralds Hotel and Casino down town Las Vegas.

Jim is also known as “The Last Hippie in America”… www.LastHippie.com
Yes,  Jim Wiggins thinks pot should be legal! Jim magnificently weaves his
words through his masterful story telling and shares why pot should be legal.

Owner of the Club, Bob Burke gave me permission to film my good friend.
When you do come to Las Vegas, you gotta check out this comedy room.
It’s Fantastic! www.ComedyAfterHours.com

Listen and watch to this comedy clip at your own risk.
Jim comes from a similar school of comedy that the late George Carlin came from.

There are curse words in this clip. It is pretty tame compared to what is
out there these days. If you are easily offended
PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN or WATCH THIS VIDEO CLIP.

Sorry about the shakey camera work. My tripod broke just before the
show and so I hand held for 50 minutes…

When you are finished watching this clip, watch the 5 minute interview
I did with Jim about George Carlins Passing. It’s touching…

And Please feel free to post a comment about this video clip…

Have a Great Day,
Robby LeBlanc
