did they cut out the c-word conversation?

yes I did, sorry.  You should try coming over here and saying c*** a few times out loud and see how far that gets you…

you guys show soft corn p**n on the BBC each night!

or am I thinking of France?

I think you mean Germany

so did they edit it so it seems normal?

I left the rest of it in. Apart from when you said shit in relation to Darth Vader :p

you guys are such pussies

My show’s on drive time!!! It would be different if it were after 9pm

wow – that’s the first time I’ve been censored.  I feel… violated.  I need a moment

Okay – I’m taking my displaced anger and praying to Jesus that he delivers 40 straight days of no sunshine to you

and that your vitamin D levels get critically low

well we must have had about 39 of those already…

hmm… okay, plan B

The Australians take all of their criminals and displace them in your country

so you have to deal with those awful accents and pickpockets

Oh, and a nice tea shortage.  I’m praying to Lord Jesus Christ for a big tea shortage

I drink coffee. and Diet Coke

I stand by my tea prayer

Fin

(truth be told – I heavily edited this to take out the non-funny bits)

Jodie would also like me to mention that she just got tweeted from Rob Thomas and is very excited.  I tried to explain that over here we don’t…  Well, you know what?  Let her have her moment.

Oh, and as of writing this post, they had completely butchered the spelling of my name.  Which is funny in and of itself.

How to Blow a Radio Interview https://thoughtsfromparis.com/stories/how-to-blow-a-radio-interview/ https://thoughtsfromparis.com/stories/how-to-blow-a-radio-interview/#comments Sun, 15 Apr 2012 18:48:09 +0000 http://delfinparis.com/newsite/?p=2482 I just got off with Jodi Orton at American Dream Team, a radio program in the UK.  We did about 25 minutes on my favorite topic – me.

To check out their programming and listen live to the station, visit SirenFM here

I don’t know about how the FCC works over, or if they even have one, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen tons of boobs and heard lots of f-words during prime time television programming.

It never occurred to me to ask what the policy is on adult topics or language.

I probably made a few tactical errors, such as…

Telling her audience that, “Nobody gives a shit about the guy who played Darth Vader.” (he’s a British actor)

Doing about three minutes on how great it is that the c-word in the UK is conversationally acceptable, where here it will end a marriage.

I also insulted the host at least three times directly, telling her that there is, “No chance in hell that Bradley Cooper is listening to this program.”

I never actually said the dreaded c-word.  I’m no monster.  But I kept riffing on it while the host kept trying to steer me into something else.

At one point she said she was hovering above the disconnect button, and I dared her to push it.  But that was in jest, I hope.

After the interview I asked if I did okay, and she said yes but that their producer may cut out the c-word bit, and will have to bleep the “shit.”

It then hit me – I should have talked about “fanny.”  Fanny is the greatest of all UK words and they love it over there.  And what’s more amazing is that it has a totally different meaning than our version!  How does that happen?  We both speak roughly the same language!  I could have done five minutes on “fanny.”

I told her if we need to recut the sequence, I’d be more than happy to riff on “fanny.”  All in all, it was a fun interview and I’m grateful to have been asked to participate.

I’ll post a link to when the show goes live in a few weeks.
