TMD: What kind of tunes do you groove to? R: Straight-up gangsta rap! Hey, is this thing for real? Are you really from the Daily? TMD: Yes, I assure you, I write for the Daily and this interview will be in the paper tomorrow. What's your favorite name for the penis? R: Uhh ... Tim. TMD: That's interesting. R: Ha ha, actually, I like to call it the Moneymaker. TMD: That's interesting, too. OK, I think we're about done here. So how was it for you? R: Good ... you're not gonna make an ass outta me, are you? TMD: Nah man, I wouldn't do that. Was it erotic? R: Definitely not.. TMD: Well, thank you for your time, sir. Take it easy.
