MMR: Behind the scenes

Had some problems getting posts to publish, so I missed the interview with porn star Ron Jeremy, who has a new book, The Hardest (Working) Man in the Business, who said he never uses Viagra, confirmed a rumor about having a revealing interlude with Paris Hilton, claimed headaches are the worst malady he's ever had, and, in answer to a Casey complaint, said he's not into rude stuff like slapping women or even men spitting.

Behind the scenese notes: Amazing how relaxed these folks seem, with a nonstop piling-on of talk, talk, talk. Steve's interjections seem so natural, fitting into the flow, making the studio group laugh ("Must be a Mormon pig" just cracked Preston up). Casey is also in charge of working in those crazy sound clips.

Preston said during a break that they keep from tripping over each other through the use of hand signals. Balderdash. These guys have a kind of psychic rhythm or incredibly intuitive breathing/timing sensitivity ... no pause goes unfilled. Then after the rush, silence, relaxing, more conversation, casual, no panic.

I utilised to work like a phone psychic, and it was an exceptionally hard job. I loved being able to definitely support persons, though, and this was a wonderful way to do that.

that was an entertaining read.
