Better Than CNN / News Archives / Interview With Nic Barnett
11/8/2002


Alright, here's the website's first interview. I chose to interview Nic Barnett because, well...he was on MSN when I decided to interview someone. Here we go...

Jimm McShane: Hello ladies and gentlemen. I am here with Nic Barnett, and I will be asking him some questions.
Hello, Nic.

Nic Barnett: Hello, James.

Jimm McShane: How are you?

Nic Barnett: I'm doing good. It's a Friday. Good day.

Jimm McShane: That's good.
Well, let's get to business.

Nic Barnett: Sounds good.

Jimm McShane: You've known me for a long time, right?

Nic Barnett: I would agree with that.

Jimm McShane: Do you think I would ever attack someone with a dead dog? I mean, like, swinging the dead dog above my head and screaming?

Nic Barnett: I could see that happening, but only if you really wanted to do that.
Say if you were going to rob a bank.

Jimm McShane: Alright, I would have to agree with that.
Now, do you think you would ever do that same thing?

Nic Barnett: No. Out of the question. I could see being your get away driver in such a situation, but never actually doing it my self.

Jimm McShane: I see.
Alright, I have a better question.

Nic Barnett: Good.

Jimm McShane: Who do you think would win in a fight between The Incredible Hulk and Hulk Hogan?

Nic Barnett: The Incredible Hulk, no problem.

Jimm McShane: I would have to agree with you.

Nic Barnett: Let me ask you a question.
Has The Incredible Hulk ever starred in a movie where he himself, was not actually playing himself?

Jimm McShane: ...I...don't...know...

Nic Barnett: Because I know Hulk Hogan has.

Jimm McShane: True...true...oh God so very true...
Alright, we're running out of time, so I'll finish up with one last question.

Nic Barnett: I didn't know there was a time limit. This is a short interview.

Jimm McShane: Yes, well...
Where do you stand on the issue of abortion?

Nic Barnett: I choose not to take a position, therefore avoiding any ridicule that might fall upon such a person that takes a side.

Jimm McShane: Really? I stand to the left of the issue most of the time...

Nic Barnett: I see.....
I have another question for you.

Jimm McShane: Alright.

Nic Barnett: What do you think about the happenings that occured on Tuesday with the elections and all?

Jimm McShane: I don't, really. That one guy wants to get rid of graduation standards, though, so that's pretty cool.

Nic Barnett: Are you talking about the new governor, Tim "I like men" Pawlenty?

Jimm McShane: Yes, I believe that's the man.

Nic Barnett: I don't like him one bit, Jimm.
Norm "Paul Wellstone hater" Coleman either.

Jimm McShane: I agree with you on the last one as well.
However, we are out of time, my friend. Thank you for joining me.

Nic Barnett: Thank you, Jimm, for a most delightful interview.
