Yeah, I’ve not heard of that title before, but it’s an interesting proposition.
You can tell them I’m 6' 2", very slim, buff I think is the word, dress real well, dark hair, kind of like a Sean Connery type.
But no Irish accent.
Hey, that's not a problem. I can work one up pretty quickly.
Would that be authentic?
Authenticity is something other people have to worry about. Lass, we’re not looking for authenticity, we’re looking for sales.
Oh… you make me laugh. [Great, but it's not getting me what I want. Laugh is cheap, my dear.]
It’s the truth. But if they do fly me to Ireland, make sure they’ve had lots to drink before they meet me because that way they might actually believe I’m 6' 2" and buff and all the rest, young, vibrant… the kind of guy who can sell to the 30- and 40-year-olds. Wait, unless we do a grandfather thing. That’s it, the noble sage offering the Jameson wisdom of the ages to the young and innocent.
[Somewhat dryly.] The noble sage. Well, I love that you're so much of a fan and promoter of Jameson. And I’ll definitely raise these issues.
Okay, but don’t do it at your peril. Be safe about it. [But be vigorous and pushy and demanding and indefatigable.)
End of interview, sort of.
