You have to realize, V, that at no point prior to this last couple-day go-round was Axelwolf interviewing me ever mentioned. He thought he'd surprise me, I guess, and I'd back out. LOL. Sorry, we "arrogant, confrontational" folks (I don't agree with "dismissive" at all) figure -- what the hell? This will be a good test. But it is required that he read some stuff prior to the interview because he doesn't know me from Adam, and he doesn't know sports handicapping from garbage collecting. Reading a thousand words isn't likely to tax anyone's neurons, even those damaged by various and sundry beverages.
Did you say "a script?" I haven't seen a script. Can you imagine if one side prompted some call-ins without the "other side" prompting call-ins?
It's okay, V. I have some familiarity with the phrase "ambush interview." Basically, I take the gig with nothing to gain, but you know what? Never let it be said the founder of Integrity Sports hid behind a need for a script or a need to seed the call-ins. As an old journalism dude, that's not the way I do things. I do them with integrity (see what I did there?).
And finally, Axelwolf, I never received your email, so what the hell? Todd can confirm that. I give him full permission to read all my inbox stuff. I can't be checking this God-forsaken swampland every day, so just send the email to integritysport@aol.com.
P.S. V, you read the small bio story in the Driving Southern book. I think anyone interviewing me should probably read it. Provides color and background. I mean, if he asks how I got started doing this, that book provides half of the story. Not sure if Todd has a copy or not. I know I gave one to Munchkin. I guess if Axelwolf is paranoid about his address, I could buy him an online copy and send it to his email or something.
