BURLINGTON, ON
My friend James Burchill, the shameless self-promoter and Master of the Side Hustle has a new gig.
He takes people out for a drive in his neat little Smart Car and does a video interview with his passenger.
The camera is mounted on the dashboard.
The come on James uses is the cup of coffee he is going to buy you; I’ve yet to see anyone with a cup of coffee in their hands.
The interviews run for about six to seven minutes; there have been a few that are actually memorable.
There is one coming up – it will be “premiered” on Friday.
James convinced the Mayor to take the drive. The really short clip is HERE. The Mayor comes across as a much more relaxed guy on this video. Rock Goldring has this need to use his hands to make his point – when he isn’t doing that he holds them in front of him so they don’t get away.
But in the front passenger seat of a car there isn’t much he can do with his hands so he has to rely on facial expressions and so we get to see a different Rick Goldring.
It really is worth watching.
The full interview will be shown on Friday.
