Just Got Stronger

The SampleBank Interview: Live & Online With RealTVFilms

Barely 24 hours at SXSW, chillin at the Maple Leaf Digital Lounge when I’m asked to do a live web interview. Ugh…live…not with my jokes!

Thank you Karim Awad and Scott Howard for helping to set this up! Thank you Gordon Vasquez at RealTVFilms for doing this! Thank you Soniya Monga for conducting the interview…oh and at laughing at least 60% of jokes.

Peep 3 photos of the interview:

#1: Arty B & W

#2: Arty Colour (with an expression like that they’ll never ask me to do a TED Talk)

#3: At the end! Turns out the jokes weren’t so bad!

Oh and in case you’re wondering…the t-shirt reads:
Destroy
Popular Culture
Rebuild
Repeat

Yes Guy! It’s by Fresh Melt Water, a brand outta Philly. As much my motto as anything. Wear your dreams on your t-shirts!

Note: I’ll have archived footage soon as it’s up.

Overheard at SXSW 2011

#1:
Last night on 6th street, around 1am there was a giant robot. Ummm, yup.

“I like to party with Bacardi,” said the robot.

“That robot is kinda hot, I’d have sex with him. It?” very drunk girl

“Dude! That’s like totally like, a robot. Robots are real??” a dude who is not Keanu.

#2:
2 girls in ill-fitting tanktops: “See I told you we don’t need no black guys.”

Girl clearly in a band: “I only have enough money for food or for drugs. So…what do I do?”

Girl in the shop I buy glass bottle Cokes: “I only have enough money for gas or food.”

Girl on her mobile: “You want me to insert that where??!” Pause as she listens. “Well I can’t do that right now I’m out in public.”

#3:
Small child to his dad: “Papa…are we in Hollywood?”

2 girls walking past me: “As a boyfriend he’s good enough so I decided to give up drugs.”

Dude on a mobile: “I just spilled Starbucks on my lap, think I burned my wang, what should I do?”
