#the sandwich interview

[pattons-stripper-euro]

Yo I'm finally about to face my fear of people making eating noises, in order to watch the Mike Patton Sandwich interview for the first time

This video should be considered world cultural heritage

[cruesuffix]

found this interview bout a week or two ago and thought it was pretty funny. nikki and mick make so much noise you can barely hear them at times. at one point they even order mcdonalds and continually rustle the bag and stuff. it’s extremely loud at some parts (sudden coughs and the bag rustling) so maybe keep the volume down so you don’t get jumpscared. also if you don’t like the sound of ppl eating this might not be for you either…it’s not loud but it is noticeable.

PM.com: This question is from Michael on Facebook: You’re often asked about any pre-show rituals you might have, but I wonder if you have a post-show routine or habit to round off the energy from a performance?

Paul: Oh yeah definitely. Most of the time we get on the bus immediately, and before we change back into our ‘day clothes’ I have a margarita to drink, which is always very welcome! And I have a cheese and pickle sandwich with the English type of pickle: Branston’s pickle. Americans would think I mean a dill pickle, but no! Those are the two things that are always there, and that I look forward to. It means we’ve done the show and we’re off!

[...]at age thirty-five, Winters put in for a transfer to U.S. Army Ranger school.

The transfer was granted and Winters found himself in familiar surroundings: Fort Benning. He enjoyed the training and the challenge of the Rangers because they shared his philosophy of doing one’s best. Still, it didn’t take him long to get off on the wrong foot with some of the ranking officers. A few weeks after his arrival Winters was assigned to a bevy of field-grade officers, mostly majors and lieutenant colonels, to observe the Rangers as they undertook a three-day field problem that included a mock night attack. At first Winters was excited. He longed to get back out into the wilds and live in the field. So he was horrified when he discovered that the officers would simply observe the Rangers as they left for the training session, and be there when they got back. Winters sought out the colonel in command.

“Colonel, I’d like to go along on the exercise,” he said.

The colonel looked startled.

“No, no. That’s out,” he said. “That’s not the way we do it, Major. This is an extremely arduous exercise, and it’s hard enough on these younger men. This is a tough assignment.”

“Respectfully, sir, I understand that. But I’d like to go along,” he insisted. “I can’t see the point in observing them if I can’t see them in action.”

The colonel again tried to dissuade Winters, but failed to budge the insistent major. Obviously displeased, the colonel finally relented.

Back in combat gear and helmet, fully loaded backpack and clutching a rifle, Winters trudged into the North Carolina wilderness for three days of hard living, surrounded by men, most of whom were fifteen years his junior. The three-day training exercise gave Winters the exhilarating opportunity not only to observe, but to participate in everything from lengthy hikes to cliff scaling.

“I did the whole damned thing,” he later said.

In the wilds, men lived on field rations except for one day when providence provided unexpected, and far tastier, fare. Bivouacked by a roadside, Winters was beginning to shave, a holdover from the days when Colonel Sink ordered all officers to shave every morning, when a civilian truck carrying a load of chickens roared past. An improperly closed cage swung open and several chickens escaped, making themselves fair game for men living on K Rations. Winters caught one of the escapees, which was now destined to become his lunch. He restrained the flapping bird by tying it to his leg with a shoestring and returned to his shave. Winters lathered up his face, then scraped away the minuscule growth of whiskers with his razor. As he shaved, a movement on the ground caught his eye. Not far away, a copperhead snake was also anticipating a chicken dinner. Winters froze as the snake slithered quietly closer. Winters slowly reached down to his field pack, and withdrew his machete. With one quick, sure motion he killed the snake, giving the chicken a temporary reprieve. He resumed his shave.

With the coming of darkness, men donned combat gear and blackened their faces. Their assignment during the night attack maneuver was to seize an enemy command post. Winters accompanied the Rangers as they moved silently along a wooded trail. As the command center loomed ahead, Winters and the others spread out, dropped to the ground and began to creep forward.

Winters spotted one soldier at the command post, possibly a sentry, standing alone. Slinking through the underbrush as carefully, and as lethally, as the snake he had killed earlier, Winters stalked the man. He worked his way unseen behind the sentry, then leaped up. He wrapped an arm around the soldier’s neck, closing a hand over his mouth to stifle any sound, and drew his other hand to the man’s throat.

“You’re dead,” he whispered.

Winters was ecstatic. It was a sure kill. His training from ten years earlier had stayed with him. The sentry had never heard him approach. For Dick Winters, it was the high point of his entire military experience since his recall.

After the three-day exercise, the Rangers hiked back into civilization, and the thirty-five-year-old Winters marched right along. The younger men appreciated Winters�� abilities and endurance, and poured respect on him. He returned their respect. However, the glowering looks on the faces of the observing officers plainly showed their dissatisfaction.

“They didn’t appreciate me going out one damned bit,” he recalled years later. “Basically, I was showing them up.”

Good mornin Wordgirl natio-

🌟GUESS WHAT ANOTHER WORDGIRL INTERVIEW 💫

YEAAH THAT'S RIGHT and this time it's with Jack Ferraiolo, who's the WordGirl co-creator + a writer, and voiced the Butcher!!

I'm just happy that I was finally able to finish the WordGirl interviews, so I hope y'all enjoy!!

And a SUPER HUGE THANKS to everyone that submitted a question for these interviews! It truly made them 100000x more special 💞

If Paddington were promoted to Q, what gadgets would he invent for James Bond? Oh God, I hate these kinds of questions because I’m not a gadget person. A bulletproof duffel coat and exploding marmalade sandwiches sounds about right!

🌟Attention All Wordgirlies!! 💫

It’s time that I announced one of the coolest WordGirl things that I’ll be working on for this month and it's criminal that I can't make that title any bigger ajfhsksfsd.

While I did originally announce this on a WG server, I wanna make sure to let every WordGirl fan know about this! 

Right now I’m working on a university project that revolves around interviewing a content creator. Well, I decided to try to reach out to a few crew members for WordGirl and get this: I’ll be interviewing not just one, but TWO WordGirl crew members:

Mike Nordstrom, who was a storyboard artist for season 1 to season 6 of WordGirl!

annnnnd

Jack Ferraiolo, one of the co-creators/writers of WordGirl and the voice of The Butcher!

I’m super stoked that I was able to reach out to them and that they were both willing to make the time to have an interview! 

While I will be recording this interview and transcribing for my school project, I also want to invite all you WordGirl fans the opportunity to ask your own questions to both Mike and Jack! 

I’ll leave the link to the Google Forms I created below the cut, but I do have a couple of disclaimers that I must address firstly so read them pls.

With that said, please share and reblog this to any other WordGirl lovers ya know; the more the merrier!! 💖💗

Aight disclaimers:

1. Since I have no idea how many questions y’all will have, I will likely have to limit the fan questions I ask to 2-3 questions. This is both so that transcribing isn’t a pain for me as well as to be mindful of their time. If I get a lot of questions, I may end up conducting a poll of some sorts to help us decide which questions to ask!!

2. While both Mike and Jack confirmed that they were interested in having an interview, I want to let you all know that I’m still trying to wrap some final details before having these interviews. While my plan is to start interviewing this Friday, should either Mike or Jack express any concerns about this interview that may end up changing. 

Aight ya read the disclaimers? Ya sure? Okie dokie here’s the link! https://forms.gle/m6xbrp5cjkKt2QcN7

i know we've all read the "he's got a great pelvis" interview but this new one from franz is somehow even wilder:

It's not just Ben having a beautiful back, and he does. He really knows how to use his pelvis and his dick.
