(applause)
Lockie Winslow: Uh, hi.
Hibblestump: Lockie, great to have you on the show! Now, for those who don’t know you, though I don’t know how they couldn’t unless they were living under a rock, why don’t you introduce yourself?
Winslow: Well, I’m an actor. Most of my work is as a dead body in cop shows, although I did have a speaking role in The Shore when I was a kid.
Hibblestump: Oooh, what was it like working with Snooki and The Situation?
Winslow: Oh, no, not The Jersey Shore. Just, The Shore. They basically tried to turn Jaws into a TV show, but it was canceled after three episodes, and I think a fire destroyed the original copies.
Hibblestump: Oh, well… I guess that’s why it’s important to make backups, am I right?
Winslow: Uh…
Hibblestump: So, what’s it like playing a dead body on TV? Any juicy secrets? Insider tips for getting a gig?
Winslow: Well, you need to be able to hold your breath for a really long time.
Hibblestump: And?
Winslow: Uh, you need to be able to hold still? Some of the shots take a really long time, so you need to be able to sit still and not move.
Hibblestump: Fascinating. Have you ever taken any souvenirs from set?
Winslow: Well, I’m not supposed to…
Hibblestump: Oh, come on, spill! The Stumpers are dying to know!
Winslow: You know how in cop shows they have like, mugshots or driver’s license pictures for suspects and victims?
Hibblestump: Uh-huh.
Winslow: Sometimes I take those.
(pause)
Winslow: Free headshots, right? And they show off my work, too, more than a glamor shot would.
Hibblestump: Let’s talk about your fan base.
Winslow: My what?
Hibblestump: Your fan base! You have over 100,000 followers on Instagram, and just as many on Twitter. What’s your secret?
Winslow: I just, like, post about my day? Like, ‘I went for a run, it felt great,’ or ‘look at this cool ice cream cone. Cold!’
Hibblestump: Okay… Well, you gotta admit, people are following for more than just your, uh, witty captions. Look at the six-pack in this picture!
Winslow: Oh, yeah, my friend drew that on with makeup once when we were bored! And honestly, a little high.
Hibblestump: For medicinal purposes, right, Lockie? We are a family-friendly show here.
Winslow: Oh, totally. I get headaches, and the weed totally helps.
Hibblestump: Let’s get to some fan questions! B1lly_1 wants to know why your socks seem to be pink in every picture of you online. Is it some kind of statement?
Winslow: I accidentally washed all my white socks with a red t-shirt once, and they ended up pink. Who knew? And since I really liked the socks, I decided to just roll with it.
Hibblestump: Fascinating! Let’s get another fan question. ProceduralLover49 wants to know if you have any plans to branch out from body work and take on some speaking roles in the future.
Winslow: Well, I feel like I am really hitting my stride with these roles, and like I am close to mastering them. So, for now, I think I’ll stay in my lane. Or my body freezer, you know what I mean!
Hibblestump: I think I do. Well, thank you so much for coming on the show, Lockie, we are big fans here at The Stump.
Winslow: Happy to be here. Any time. Is this going to be televised?
Hibblestump: Uh, no, it’s a podcast.
Winslow: Oh, okay cool. So, do I get a copy of the magazine or something?
Hibblestump: Remember to check us out at all the usual places, become a Patron over at Patreon, and hang around for our next interview after the break. Here’s a hint – you know our next guest from the viral video of them falling off a roof. Hang in there!
