 last CNN post, I swear

I wanted to post these two videos with the actual interview – but it took me several days to find a connection strong enough to upload the full uncut interview phone-conversation with CNN. Now, to be perfectly honest, the full uncut interview isn’t something I would recommend watching: it’s fairly long and awkward, due to poor cell phone reception. It’s also super washed out because I adjusted the iris, sat down, and then, of course, the rain stop pouring and the sun came out behind us – completely washing us out and creating a blinding white light behind Larry and I. Well, now that I’ve talked it up, here it is (you’ve been warned): This second clip, however, is very short, and much less boring then the above one. This is the voice-mail that was left on my phone from CNN about their wanting to interview us for the project. And if you’re new here, please subscribe for free… because it makes us feel loved.

People say the nicest things…

 People say the nicest things...

First off, I’ve heard from several people who saw the CNN interview earlier today – if you missed it, don’t forget to check it out tomorrow at 12:30 or 5:30p ET on, but so far I’ve heard nothing but nice things. Thanks for all the great things you all have been saying – it means a lot to us. Speaking of great things that people say, I recently mentioned that I uploaded episodes one through four on Vimeo, I’ve gotten so many comments in such a short time, and they have been some of the most flattering comments I’ve ever received. For example: 2 days ago Sarah Shevett said about Episode 4, “Wow that actually made me cry.” And 3 days ago Robin said about Episode 1, “[Because in the end it has almost nothing to do with the bike and everything to do with setting out to accomplish something that is intimidating, that is unknown to you, something you know you have a good chance of failing at but doing it anyways and slowly but surely proving yourself wrong.] Moved to tears. Seriously. Bravo Mike!“ Not that my sole purpose is to make people cry with the episodes, but it’s unbelievably flattering and inspiring to hear people actually felt *that* connected with what I’m trying so hard to find the words to say. I can’t thank you enough. And if you’re new here, please subscribe for free and always be in the know.
