VDV Pre-Tour interview

Great interview. I love this things. I really hope there are a couple more during the tour. I prefer the audio so I can listen to it on my ipod.

VDV and JV are so cool for doing this for us fans.

I swear!!! Just got sidetracked, will finish tomorrow

for JV. He is officially aristocratic. At least he prefers a good overall region for wine. Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines are tasty grapes.

one of the amazing things about this blog was precisely that you did transcribe these interviews... oh well, another loss to the printed word in favor of listening to VDV on a cell phone with a wonky connection

TOUR DE SCHMALZ!!! TOUR SE SCHMALZ!!! TOUR DE SCHMALZ!!! TOUR DE SCHMALZ!!!

ANIMAL LIKE!!!!

Moved to Off Topic

We need a Tom Zirbel interview.

hell, beats the other boring crap i have to do.....

Excuse me, there was no rice bar offer.

Here's the Cliff's Notes transcription:

"Hey Schmalz. Yeah, you're a cool guy, don't let anybody tell you otherwise. The Tour? Eh, I'll be lucky if I get top 10. Say, can I interest you in another Allen Lim rice bar?"

Dear God! Are you actually transcribing this?

Fun to listen to--seems like a cool guy

about half way through, give me til the end of the day and I can send to you

Call waiting - probably Creed calling to borrow my car...

What are the beeps 2 min in? Censor or call waiting?

West Coast Reader (why is wheel sucker default now!?!?)

Nothing will increase your productivity like my nasally drone squeaking in the background.

These are the best. I can put them on, and do work while I listen. Fortunately, my boss could give a crap if I listen and work and the same time.

yes, pathetic, no argument

I appreciate that you assume I went to any 7th grade dances.

yes! funny

GREAT SOUND OFF "SOUNDS COOL..." LIKE A SEVENTH GRADER WHO JUST SCORED A DATE FOR THE WINTER DANCE.

if this is your one guilty pleasure, i am sorry for you. go downstairs and shoplift a powerbar at the cafe.

I know, sorry about that, but transcribing takes waaaay too much time. If someone wants to volunteer to do it, maybe we can make it worth their while?

g-dammit how can i read this at work. schmalz your laziness is robbing me of my one guilty pleasure. aargh.

(thanks, though)
