Eric's gone fishin'

Eric here! I want you to meet my new friend, his name is Mike-ro-phone. We're friends though so you can just call him "Mike." Actually, he doesn't care. That's what is so great about Mike... he just sits there and lets you talk to him all day long.

Ok, enough fun. I just wanted to show you how we record the show when I am on the road. It’s just what I do: share things with you my "News To Me" friends.

Not to toot our own horn... but as fun as the last few shows have been, the next few shows will be even more fun. Listen, I spoke with Daryl Hall (that guy from Hall and Oates) at his house, or should I say his compound. His cool new website is called Live From Daryl's House... where artists show up and play some great live jams. You also get to see the behind the scenes conversations that happen. You can be a voyeur...oooooohhhh.

Anyway... talking to Daryl was one of those surreal moments for me. See, unless they're sitting right next to me, I never see the people I interview face to face (minus Tom Green, but more on that in a moment) but after doing all the online research in order to interview Daryl Hall, it brought back those memories... you know like, what was I doing when a certain song was on the radio? Remember the song, "So Close?" I remember fighting with a high school girlfriend... getting into my Jeep, and blasting that song to cool down... weird huh? But it was a great interview, cant wait for you to see it... BTW, that "One on One" song by "H & O" is still the saddest damn song I have ever heard.

Now, the Tom Green interview... I have looked up to Tom for being the greatest man-on-the-street interviewer ever! We did our interview on a web cam.. so we were face to face... I was a coffee shop, he was in his home in the Hollywood Hills. That conversation will be on "News To Me" in a couple weeks. Wait to you see what he asks the girls sitting behind me... wow!

Anyway, I am off to Montana for some fly fishing, suds and fun. I'll be back in time for "News To Me" next weekend though, so we will see you when I get back...

Eric
