Stutter here, stammer there, ‘Uhmm’ & ‘Actually’ everywhere!

The podcast interview I was talking about last week is finally out. It’s pretty cool to see my riding pic accompanying the episode once it got loaded in my wife’s iPod. I just had to take a screenshot for posterity. ;)

But the coolness stops there! Don’t get me wrong. Dave did a pretty amazing job with how he edited our conversation. If you know me and if, after hearing it, you’d say it’s obvious that I was a nervous wreck the entire time; try to imagine how that could’ve sounded raw.

But despite that, I think the interview is still pretty interesting. You can actually listen to it three times. First, to count my how many times I said “actually.” Next, count the times I went “uhmm.” And finally, listen to the actual conversation and stop being so critical! hahaha!

iCringe,

    Let’s see… Last paragraph… actual(ly) – 3 times… Not bad! :-)

    We are always our own worst critic. I am sure you did fine.

    Congrats again John. The interview was not bad. May-konting daga ka lang sa dibdib. :) But it was good all in all. Cheers.

    Hi Bennette,
    Will probably visit Nay and Tay’s graves sometime next year. When are you guys coming over?? I have 2 empty rooms since my oldest is in college. So you guys are always welcome to stay here. Casino anyone??I enjoy reading Abette’s blog. I actually learn a lot from his site (It sort of keeps me updated on whats going on back home). Thanks for the reply
