Exclusive Tim and Eric interview on Noise to Signal

[drkickles]

Hey all. The boys granted me a telephone interview last week and you can read it now here:

Lots of teasing info about the Awesome Show, along with--probably the best part--information and plot summaries of episodes of Tom that Adult Swim would not let them do.

Hope you all enjoy. Feel free to leave feedback on the site.

Ooh. Thank you.





EDIT: Rape.

It was difficult to tell when they were joking and when they were being serious, which, sadly, is something lost in the transcription. I have the entire interview recorded, and their vocal inflections add a lot to what was said (believe me) but I don't know if I have the right to actually post that up as an mp3.

Regardless, I laughed when they described the rape situation, and the death squad situation, and the napalm situation...but the more they got into it the more I realized there was a lot of art behind what they would like to have done with the episodes...it wasn't chaos for the sake of chaos...there was a lot invested in those ideas...and, in a very real way, I'm sorry they didn't get made.

Anyway, that was longwinded and probably boring. They are two very funny men and I felt priveleged to be able to interview them. Maybe after Awesome Show season one is out of the way I'll try to get them to open up about that as well.

I don't think there's a shred of truth in that interview, except maybe Leave Tim and Eric Alone Day, it's entertaining none the less.

I think the only serious interview they've ever given is the A Special Thing interview with Bob Odenkirk.

It's usually hard to convey humor through text, but this interview, combined with a sugar high I had from eating half a pan of cinnamon rolls, had me on the floor.

Tim: If people want to come and follow me out into the desert and spend a week talking about what makes a show successful I'll do it, let's get it over with. But not now. Not after the day I had.
