Over at Punchline Magazine, Dylan Gadino has posted an uncircumcised video of an interview with Robert Schimmel. It was shot in January of 2009, and presented as one of the Tight Five interviews. The video as posted contains an extra, never-seen, 20 minutes.Schimmel talks about ignoring the advice he got early on to not be so sexually graphic. He talks about ignoring the advice he got later on to not talk about his cancer. He talks about his kids, his appreciation of Dane Cook, and he explains what a strawberry shortcake is. It's not sweet.
Gadino writes a nice tribute to accompany the video, remembering Schimmel as "frail-looking and diminutive" but with a calming and "Zen-like" presence.
