The best laugh is the loudest laugh!
I find it a little weird doing interviews with people over the phone. For sure I like talking to people and it's not like talking to someone who is writing an article about me freaks me out or anything but I find that talking over the phone doesn't allow you to always make any real connection with a person. Or at least not a person who is clearly interviewing you. It's no fun doing interviews over the phone!
Just when the conversation gets off topic a little or maybe a bit more colorful, you end up reminding yourself that this person is probably writing all this down and taken in the wrong context, everything you are saying could be printed in the next days newspaper. It's way to common to be misquoted about something and maybe it's all because the interview was over the phone and not done in person.
I hope that at least a few of the interviews I will be doing this week will be done in person. I guess maybe I like actually meeting with people more than I like just talking to them!
I took the afternoon off today to make sure I could attend a funeral for my Aunt Bernice. It was a sad day today for my family and especially for Bernices kids. Aunt Bernice was my Mom's older sister and one of my biggest fans. I always find it weird when my Mom tells me that some friend of hers told her that they saw me on Tv late one night last weekend. I'm usually kind of embarrassed for my Mom because the stuff I'm doing in Latenight probably isn't something my Mom or any of her friends would ever find amusing or at all entertaining. That being said, my Aunt Bernice use to watch my show pretty much every weekend. Often she would call my Mom to fill her in on the last bunch of shows I put on the air because Mom hardly ever watches the show and rarely thinks it's funny.
Aunt Bernice would always tell me about the stuff I had done on the show that made her laugh. She was a spirited Woman who loved to laugh just like my Grandpa use to. I clearly remember my Mom calling me when she was in Florida last February to tell me that Bernice had called her to tell her she thinks maybe I had lost my touch. I thought it was hilarious. She told Mom that the last bunch of shows I had on the air weren't very funny and that I should go back to doing the crazy stuff that I use to do on my show. She was 70 years old and still laughing at the same stupid stuff that probably made her laugh when she was a teenager. I'll always remember my Aunt Bernice that way!
Live life and laugh loud guys!
