We usually don't talk about ourselves very much.
so our producers say we need to give you guys some context for being able to
understand who we are.
So we're going to read to each other from off of each other's LinkedIn bios.
Priscilla, why don't you go first?
Please do not cut me off on this one okay because I know how excited you're
going to be. Before founding Wondros,
Jesse directed comedies like "Kicking and Screaming" starring Will Ferrell
and "How High" starring Method Ma, and Redman and they're, by the way,
they're not related to each other. I think he did a lot more than that.
He also produced a couple of really great documentaries and I want to say he
directed a lot of commercials, which included campaigns for,
oh, what was that called? Jesse, the one with Beyonce, what was that?
What was it? You know. So I don't know if you remember this,
but in 2008, you directed the "Yes, We Can" video,
which went viral because you called me up and told me I couldn't leave the
country, it won an Emmy award.
Then there's a cool thing which Barack Obama did go on to become the
44th president of the United States and the first African-American president and
that was an incredible thing. You are now venturing into the NFT space,
which is kind of interesting because you do not know how to like print a
PDF. So.
Okay. Thank you, Priscilla. That was very insightful.
Before Wondros Priscilla was a theater actress at the Intersection in San
Francisco and off-Broadway. She worked with physicist, Frank Oppenheimer,
the good Oppenheimer,
the San Francisco Exploratorium to dramatize science for kids and adults.
Priscilla played the part of Gravity.
She was a film executive with David Geffen and Robert Redford,
where she developed movies like "A River Runs Through It" and "Interview With a
Vampire." She won an Emmy for producing the 2008 campaign, "Yes,
We Can." This all culminated in her breakout success as a YouTube influencer

Um, uh, very talented.
That's two.
That's what I got. Brilliant. Exasperating.
Nice okay.
Hold on, I have to get my third one. Um, um,
There you go. Come on you've got to go for three. Three? Very,
well don't, very doesn't count as a word. So talented.
Tenacious. Talented. Persistent.
I think there's some common characteristics.
Kind. That's four. Well, one thing I do have to say,
cause I've always said this when people say, how do you describe Jesse?
I'll say Jesse is a person who's not completed a sentence since I've met him.
Oh, my favorite yoga pose is the half moon.
My favorite yoga pose is half moon.
Oh wow you're copying me now. That's weird. You gotta
pick your own that's mine.
Okay my favorite joke oppose is, um, headstand.
I was going to say that too, but.
Nothing. I'm not an expert in anything.
I am an expert at absolutely nothing.
Well you like to collect, remember you had all those,
remember the face and the body?
I did collect 19th century freak photography, but it sort of started on a Lark.
I did that for awhile.
I would definitely not be a dog trainer.
I don't think I'm going to be good at that.
Where's Billy? Right here. Hold on.
Let's take a look at Billy. Hey Billy. Billy's got his cape on.
He's got his, yeah, tuxedo. Nice.
But I, I don't think I could be a good dog trainer.
Don't think, just answer. I think I want, I need, I feel.
I think moonbeams and rainbows. I want lakes and streams.
I need mountains and clouds. I feel good.
I think smart. I want good things. I need a lot of love.
I feel shitty.
I think volcanoes. I want peace.
I need peace and I feel anxious.
I think confused. I want stuff.
I need help. I feel sick.
I think bowling balls and baseballs. I want footballs.
I need help. I feel exuberant.
I think blocked. I want food.
I need exercise. I feel it's Friday.
We can't all be as smart as some of our guests or Jesse and
so I do not always understand what's going on.
So I think my role is to ask the question nobody wants to ask like the stupid
question or the not so smart question.
Because I actually really do want to know and I'm trying to follow the
conversation. This
should not be an advertisement for Wondros, you know what I mean?
One thing though, Jesse. We've been able to,
to interview and talk with so many people over the last 15 years.
And we think that there are just so many more stories and people out in the
world that we want to share with you and let them tell their stories.
So thank you so much to help us celebrate the hundredth episode of the
Wondros podcast.
Thanks for being here and please comment. I'd appreciate some feedback.
I want to make sure we're bringing people along because I think a conversation
that falls in the forest and nobody hears it. It doesn't really help us.
And we definitely want to hear from you and send us if you have ideas of,
of folks that you want.
Yeah write to us, you know, and I want to get a flea circus on the podcast,
but I'm having trouble finding one.
If anybody knows of a real flea circus around anymore, let me know.
Bloopers. I don't have any bloopers, do we?
Well, you know, I really need to be in shape in order to spar with you.
Strength is good for your mental acuity. Did you know that?
Yeah. That's great news.
What's great news? The, the acuity thing. What did you do all day?
Just work. Lots of calls. I explored volcanoes and uh,
rode on a Moonbeam.
the dear repose for limbs with travel tired. You're reading it.
That's not acting. Weary with toil,
I haste me to my bed.
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.
I, I think we can leave it right there.
Okay. Thank you for that.
I don't think, I think some are listening,
but for those of you who are watching hi,
thanks for coming into our story.
You're bouncing.
And.
Bouncing.
