OK, I hope this all worked out right. But here is the interview with Carl I did with WSB 750 AM on the "Alan Vigil Ford 120" show hosted by Cpt. Herb Emory. Thanks to all for the help! Let me know via PM or email at [email protected] if you have trouble downloading or listening to the link. I put it on 2 different sites in case one has problems. The first is (I think) only available for 7 days, so it will be offline by March 13th or so. http://s65.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1248A0HJAJYOA0GB06JH26YS8W12.17 MB....13:19 long......you can only download this one, you cannot merely "listen" to it The second, should be available indefinitely and is a much smaller file. Pure Volume http://www.purevolume.com/carllong Smaller 5.32 MB....still 13:19 long...available to listen and/or download. I only got to ask a few questions. But Carl is such a great interview he more than makes up for it! Who knows, maybe I can get a few more questions out of him if I'm able to get some pit passes for the Atlanta race! (you can donate $$$ to me NOW!!!  ) A funny story behind the interview...the hosts tried for about an hour to get in touch with Carl, and could never get him. I thought my cell phone was going to die sitting on hold for so long! Appearantly Carl had a big long "Honey-Do" list for that day and they FINALLY got in touch with him around 4pm when he was sitting in the Wal-Mart parking lot!  My first ever on-air interview was conducted (in 3rd party) at a Wal Mart parking lot! LOL Now THAT's funny! Thanks for checking it out and let me know what you think! PS--Dig the Barney Fife piece at the beginning! The other on-air folks are Captain Herb (the host), Ben White (from NASCAR Scene/Illustrated) and I forgot her name. (from the Atlanta Motor Speedway ticket office) |

Excellent job Matt!!! <does ninja bow of respect> Extremely cool interview and a great job by yourself! My favorite was right at the end when Carl says "Brazillion....how many is a Brazillian?!" LOL Thanks for posting this man...what a treat! Poor James will still be downloading this sucker this time tomorrow! (damn dial upper)  |

Great stuff - didn't think much of the interviewer though. Just because you can't speak or understand "redneck" is no reason to playa hate! Have you purchased your "Scottish to Redneck" translation guide for your trip to the "dirty souf" yet in the fall?  Speaking of dirty souf, we have to crash Ludacris' gates! |

That was supposed to be "your" interview? They let you ask about 3 questions. That guy has the most annoying voice and laugh. Carl was great of course, as always. I want to know too, how many is a brazilian? But I'm VERY disappointed that you didn't get in the dancing nazis. Shame on you! Kidding  Great job Matt. |

Yeah, you really need about an hour to get a good interview in with Carl. He's such an awesome story teller and has such a huge personality! It was supposed to be 10 minutes, and I think it ended up being around 13 which would account for Ben White's question/response. Sucked that I only got to ask a few questions, but still an incredible experience and Carl told/elaborated on some stories that I had never heard before! I wanted to plug the website's address and the fanclub but that didn't happen either. Maybe next time. But hopefully if any interest was sparked, a quick google search for Carl Long will lead even Stevie Wonder to this site. I only got to ask questions that I already knew (most of) the answers to, but I still think it turned out pretty sweet! John, maybe you can finish up my dirty work at Atlanta! Very cool that they sent me a pair of tix for Sunday. I'll have to cough up the extra dough to get tix for Friday and Saturday, but I'll be there! John, maybe you could pull a "morgan" and sneek me into the infield in your land yacht? If anyone asks, don't worry, I know the procedure. "No speak english. Application?" Captain Herb (I STILL think that would be a GREAT jam band name!) is the Traffic reporter for WSB Monday-Friday in the AM and has had this NASCAR themed show for many years now. I can't say anything bad about the dude because he totally hooked me up and made me one happy Carl Long fan! Plus he does spend a lot of time covering the underdogs! |

"Land yacht" lol
We tried that thing Friday night. Came back Saturday with a sore back. I am too big a person for a camper.
No way am I going to sleep 3 nights in that thing in Atlanta. I don't know how those old people do it.
My legs hung off one end of the bed, my head off the other, and my arms hung off both sides.

John, I feel you on the "fat guy in a little camper" bit. Been there, done that. No thanks! Oi Vey. 6'2 290 lbs of pure back ache here. LOL However, I will probably be forced to sleep in the back of my Ambulance (race car hauler for poor people) later this summer when my race car and I make a road trip out to a small rural track where drinking around a campfire after the races are over, is the norm. Hopefully this year I don't wake up in my race car, like I did in 2003. LOL Apparently I decided to sit in it (it was on the trailer) for some reason and that's where I stayed until about 10 am. The moral of the story? Climbing out of a race car when you're hungover, sucks! |

The worst part of the camper is the bathroom.
At my age, I need to go "make a deposit" a few times each night, especially after a beer or two or twenty.
