As we were nearing deadline I received the new brochure from OLD RELIABLE and to my delight David was offering a new tape of one of my favorite models, MIKE "The Spike" VICTOR. MIKE's BACK!(VT-159. $59 plus $3. 1626 N. Wilcox No.107, Hollywood. CA 90028. you people should have this memorized by now). Sure enough there was Mike's back, naked, covered with mud, cheeks slightly spread.cock hard. I Immediately mailed it to Santa with a note "this is what I've been asking you to leave for the past 30 years, get it right this time. Five days with Phil  was 4 days and 23 hours too much but 5 days with Mike would be great.

Anywho, I called David and left a message on his machine that I wanted to Interview Mr. The Spike if at all possible. Next day I got a call from the legend his self saying he was in town staying with David and wouid be happy to do his first intervlew, with OUTCOME! That night we did it (in your dreams), the interview that is. I want to thank David for being such a great friend and making a wish come true (you'll be getting the milk and cookies on Dec. 24th from here on) and I want to thank Mike for giving us his time for the interview. You're every bit the nice guy I had envisioned! A few minutes into the interview I noticed my recorder was fucking up so I lost the start so I'll summarize.

Mike got into nude modeling 3-4 years ago. He was a homeless person and had stopped at the YMCA to shower. An other showerer took note of his numerous assets and informed him that he could make money posing nude for a photographer he knew named Casey Klinger. He decided to give it a shot and it worked out to his liking. Very shortly there after he was put in touch with David Hurles where he did posing and a video (VT-83 re viewed in OUTCOME No.6). Mike is now 27 (getting hotter everly year), stands 5'5, is of Irish-Cherokee-German stock and is a native Califorian.

OUTCOME: What do you think about posing, you are a natural at it?

MIKE: In some respects it's pretty nice and in other respects  it's probably pornographic  depending on how you look at it and where you draw your own lines and stuff I just do it for the money myself (laughs).

OUTCOME: Well have you gotten any reaction to it? Do people recognize you?

MIKE: As a matter of fact, yes, somebody did recognize me. I recently made a trip up to Portland and I came back and there was a layover in San Francisco. And there was some guy looking at me and he looked like a friend of a friend, who happens to be a police officer and I said "you look like a cop."  I don't know why I said that it just came out of my mouth and he said 'you look like Mike the Spike." He actualy recognized me. He was driving a motor scooter and he went and parked it like five blocks down on the street I was walkinq. He asked me if I wanted to smoke a joint, I said sure. He said he recognized me and everything that's why I went with him. It was interesting to actually see somebody who recognized me.

OUTCOME: That's the only time anyone ever did?

MIKE: I don't know. You know you wonder. People are probably more discreet, they probably just don't say anything. I'm sure that if I saw somebody that I'd seen before like certain female models that I see or even male ones that you've seen with them in a magazine or something. I dont know that I'd say anything to them or anything.

OUTCOME: So modeling for you has been kind of neutral. It hasn't been positive or negative?

MIKE: Yeah, right in neutral.

OUTCOME: You also do quite a bit of wrestling & boxing videos. What got you into that? Did you do it in school?

MIKE: Well, not really Dave was already into it & I just went along. I know how to wrestle and goof around, play around I wasn't a sissy or anything as a kid.

OUTCOME: Well there is a skill to doing wresting.

MIKE: Yeah, and I felt pretty confident then and under all the circumstances. Nothing could go wrong and it couid be a good chance 'cause like you can't really just walk down the street and ask somebody 'hey you wanna wrestle"? Without them getting too over bearing or being intimidated or thinking  you're weird. You don't get to wrestle like that. It was a lot of fun. I'd do it any day of the week if I felt good.

OUTCOME: You're a real outgoing type of person.

MIKE: Yeah in that respect maybe. It is fun. (asking Mr. Hurles) Would you say I have fun Dave, wrestling? Yeah. I did a match just a couple days ago for Dave. A guy came by looking for Dave and David was out, I'm staying here for a couple weeks. So I let the guy in the house and I ended up doing a wrestllng match with him. I felt pretty confident myself but I sort of let him get me in a lot of headlocks and stuff just to build his confidence up. I've done that on a bunch of the matches but pretty much everyone he's put me up against I've felt pretty confident about. I like to mix it up and make it look pretty good.

OUTCOME: Well you say you're homeless but is there any particular line of occupation that you're skilled at that you are looking to do.

MIKE: The lodging industry and also warehousing. / can do a little of a lot of different things. I can paint. A lot of menial types of labor like gardening. I've had a delivery job.

OUTCOME: A Jack-of-all-Trades?

MIKE: Yeah.

OUTCOME: You've also done audio tapes for David. What's that like?

MIKE: I didn't feel like l could say the right  things or do the right things. You just do it alone in a room with a tape recorder. He gives you a prep   card that says talk about dot-dot-dot, stories and different things.

OUTCOME: But you have to make it all up yourself.

MIKE: Yeah, make it all up or think of something improvisational.

OUTCOME: Do you find that hard? Essentiaily its acting.

MIKE: Well yeah but I'm not that much into it l don't know if they came out good or not It's hard to get into.

OUTCOME: You're pretty well put together. Do you maintain yourself in a gym or whar?

MIKE: Just metabdism, I think Heredity. I'm probablely  gunna get fat when I get older (Iaughs).

OUTCOME: That explains why you're not fat, but you're very well defined and you have to do something to achieve that.

MIKE: Well as a kid I was always pretty athletic. I think it started out that way. Also, l'm a smoker and I don't over eat. I mean when I'm hungry I'll fill myself   but I won 't go out of my way if I'm not hungry. Some people drink a soda just because it's there, I'm not /ike that. Maybe a lot of walking, probably a lot of walking has a lot to do with it

OUTCOME: Have you ever done any live shows?

MIKE: Liveshows?For example?

OUTCOME: Strip shows.

MIKE: No but you know what,  It's funny 'cause hived in Bakersfield for awhile and somebody said you can make money doing that. I was interested in getting into it, dancing in front of women. I never got the full details on it. I ended up coming back down here or something and never got into it.  I probable would have gotten into it that time but probable now I wouldn't Two left feet you know.

OUTCOME: I assume that other than David's videos you haven't done anything else.

MIKE: I worked for a guy named B.G.

OUTCOME: Wrestling.

MIKE: Yeah, it's wrestling. I worked for a guy named Hal. I worked for a couple of different people from Bob Mizer to just people who have their own camera and didn't ask me to sign a model release. I'm getting some work next wouk doing some bondage photos for a guy named Hal.

OUTCOME: Filmco.

MIKE: Yeah, you know him huh? I'm waiting  for him to come back from San Francisco.

OUTCOME: Can you tell me something of your likes and dislikes in TV, films, etc.

MIKE: Well / like to watch the news, nature shows, in formation shows, simple because I don't like to read. So I try to get some of it on TV I like the outdoors. As a matter of fact I'm thinking of moving to Alaska but I'm going to move up to Seattle like right after l'm finished with Hal.

OUTCOME: Do you go to the movies a lot?

MIKE: Not a lot.  I'll go when somebody wants me to go with them. l used to go a lot as a kid but l don't really go out a lot. I'm sort of a house mouse type person. I'm thrifty and l'm lazy. l don't work a lot so l don't have a lot of money to spend. So I can usually keep myseif amused, smoke a joinl watch some television.

OUTCOME: These days most people are staying home and watching movies on cable or tape. What kind of films do you like.

MIKE: The best film / seen that not a lot of people would like is a Woody Allen film called "Hannah and Her Sisters" Semi-comedy, semi-drama, something with some meat to it. I liked "Star Wars "but that was a long time ago.

OUTCOME: With me its Science-Fiction, Horror, Fantasy. But you like a little of everything.

MIKE: Yeah, a little of everything.

OUTCOME: How about television shows?

MIKE: Sitcoms probably, short attention span. The last time I had a TV of my own was when I was married like over two years ago. Now /ike I'm at my friends house and we're watching TV with the cable and it's funny. The cable went out and there's nothing he can do about it. But it's funny if  they don't go out they sit around the house and wonder what to do. I'd probably just go out and go for a wa/k or something.

OUTCOME: You aren't a couch potato. You're a...

MIKE: I don't like being here being bored in front of a blg blue screen. I'd rather be doing something but it's a matter of money. If you don't have any money you can't go out and goof around and have fun. Well you could but its not as easy

OUTCOME: When you have money do you like to go to clubs and things like that?

MIKE: Yeah, sometimes. Usually drink, get an eye full, taik to people and stuff. I'm not into dancing and I'm not the kind of a person who dates like regular people do. I don't even have a car so like when sex comes my way it just comes. I had some sex up in Oregon. I was with this really strange girl (laughs)

OUTCOME: I didn't know they allowed sex in Oregon.

MIKE: I didn't know either, and they allow it outside too!

OUTCOME: Is there anything you want to tell the world?

MIKE: Nothing they want to hear. How about,  love their fellow man. How's that?

OUTCOME: But they have to do it safely.

MIKE: Love their fellow man, but do it safely!
