   Joseph Nebus to All   
   1 August 2007 - Ann Curry, Gary Vaynerch   
   02 Aug 07 01:48:31   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Ann Curry:   
   	- Conan has more makeup on.  She rubs his hair, and Conan rowls.   
   	   
   	- She does three hours of TV daily, soon to be four, and night materials too,   
   there may be too much Curry.   
   	   
   	- They do a lot of stuff inside, then outside, and back again.  Once she ran   
   so fast to the Top of the Rock -- and they'd just opened it so she didn't know   
   where it was -- and she ran right into a glass revolving door, breaking her   
   nose.  The security    
   guy asked if she wanted to sit down; it hurt more than childbirth.  But she   
   had to do the interview.   
   	   
   	- Blood was dripping out her nose, and they had thirty seconds to air.  She   
   wiped her nose and now, we're going to be talking about decorating.  Her eyes   
   were as big as saucers, and she covered her nose to stop the blood.  So the   
   audience only saw the    
   horrified looks of the interviewee, who didn't drop the beat.   
   	   
   	- And she had to interview Brad Pitt the next day.  Brad Pitt kissed her and   
   thought it added character.   
   	   
   	- Her life seems in peril for some Today Show segments.  They've had her jump   
   out of planes twice.  Swim with sharks.  The second jump was a tandem jump,   
   and the wind took them far away from the right direction and they ended up in   
   someone's backyard.     
   Matt Lauer didn't know where she was, so all she could do is knock on the door   
   where the guy ... just saw you on television.  Despite the weirdness of that,   
   he did have a car and could drive her to the location.  Matt Lauer gave her a   
   locator so she    
   could always be tracked down.   
      
      
   Gary Vaynerchuk:   
   	- He wants to build people's palettes.  He feels wine is broken in America.    
   He compares ordering the 'wrong' wine to ordering the wrong toppings on pizza,   
   which is pretty impossible.   
   	   
   	- There'd be descriptions of wine as being like grass and grapefruit; he   
   wanted to see what that was like.  He's eaten cigars.  These aren't just odd   
   confessions; he wants to taste the influences in wine.   
   	   
   	- Try a little grass, then some sauvignon blanc.  Conan thinks he wishes he   
   didn't have the grass.   
   	   
   	- Now, wet rocks in salt water, and you need to lick the rock.  For the   
   minerals and salt water.   
   	   
   	- Cherries, dirt, tobacco.  Does he do this in the restaurant?  Eat some more   
   dirt.   
   	   
   	- Burgundy tends to be mushroomy and earthy and sweaty sock-y.  Conan refuses   
   to taste Vaynerchuk's sweaty sock, but agrees to taste his.
