Connor Ratliff's Dead Eyes

Part 2 of Yowei's quest to solve the mystery of proxy conversations. Why do they work?  How? Can Yowei figure out how to explain the show to people who don't get it?  In this episode, Yowei gets advice from actor, comedian, and proxy conversation expert Connor Ratliff. Over 20 years ago, Tom Hanks fired Connor from a small role in the HBO mini-series Band of Brothers - apparently for having "dead eyes." But is that really what happened? Connor made a podcast to investigate, and had 30 episodes worth of proxy conversations before talking to Tom Hanks himself.     From the episode: Follow Connor Ratliff on Instagram @connorratliff Dead Eyes podcast: www.headgum.com/dead-eyes Tiny Dinos podcast: www.pod.link/1742662792 The George Lucas Show: www.youtube.com/channel/UCH1XwfxXB--rl_Nqxvun8zQ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Proxy is an independent podcast and we rely on listeners.
