**Helen** · 15th Nov 2008, 06:33 AM

Hahaha, love the helium at the end XD. I once downed about four balloons worth of that stuff in 10 minutes

It's also vair cool that you want to be a teacher ^_^ and it's even cooler that if you were forced to pick an instrument you'd pick the piano, because all the cool kids play the piano

Nick · 15th Nov 2008, 06:41 AM

Wow, I found this really interesting, not to mention hilarious !!

I can't believe that I didn't know of the pompom dance before. (Did anyone else notice that Martin was wearing the same "England" shirt in the pompom dance as well as the interview? :P)

And I have to say that Paul doesn't look like I imagined, which isn't a bad thing.

I look forward to watching the future interviews.

...and the same jumper-thingy.

They're my Tuesday clothes for college.

Yeah, my clothes are sorted into days. Lame I know.

Helium balloons, pom poms, alcohol..........what else is Martin hiding in his room?

Derek the Wolf · 15th Nov 2008, 07:38 AM

Was the helium really necessary?
Hooray for Martin making an idiot of himself!
I love these staff interviews. How 'bout someone next with an accent I can understand?
Seriously, the UK accent is cute, but I really have to pay close attention.

15th Nov 2008, 07:46 AM

That was awesome ^_^

15th Nov 2008, 08:19 AM

That was great! I just can't believe I've never seen the pom pom dance before.

**Lexington** · 15th Nov 2008, 08:20 AM

That drink does SO have a name. The same name as the pom-pom dance.

"The Martin".

As in, "I was worn out from doing The Martin on the dancefloor, so I went to the bar and ordered a Martin."

The boxers with the fake bum... Some devil horns... The mask in the pompom dance... Inflatable skeletons...

The full video was on the EC YouTube channel but seems to have disappeared. Perhaps Martin can explain that?

I could upload it again as I have it here...

The first staff interview (Martin interviewing me) is on there still, as is my dire karaoke attempt

I would be too scared to do that though. And I totally agree with Helen about the piano thing
