I can't begin to make out what she's saying.. any ideas?<< Well, Cindy, I have worked on this for about an hour and a half now. It isn't 100 % accurate, but quite good, if I say so myself. Hope it helps. Tori: (Laughs) Okay, (something muffled). Let's have a little chat. It's just us for a minute. Okay? Now, this is a bit of a secret, okay. So, um, I am in the town of micro management(?), as we know, all of you people are (too high pitched to tell) fathers, right? I knew this. I understand that was one of the (muffled). See, it is seeping into me again. I'm a bit disturbed. Two mornings ago, my little girl, 2 and three quarters, was up. 6:30 driving on our bus, everybody's asleep, naturally. Pppppp, goes on the bus, she turns on Shrek. 'Donkey, mrmrma." Driver's sitting here going, 'Miss T, got a problem.' 'What happened Troy?' 'Ben Folds has been hit.' 'Said, what? How far back?' '40 minutes.' 'By what?' 'You know..' You don't know. Mosquito. I don't know. 'Semi.' I said 'so,that's big.' I said, 'So, who're you talking to?' He said, 'No one right now.' I said, 'Get someone on the phone(?).' So, he gets the driver, I forget his name, I don't know, Frank. Frank. 'It's Frank.' 'What's going on?' 'Well, we got to pull over on the side of the road. And, you know, the cops are going to come, and we don't know what's happened to the semi. Guy says he didn't do it. 'What do you mean he didn't do it?' You know what I mean? So, I'm sitting there going, you know Tash is 'mrmrma, Shrek and Donkey, mrma.' I said, '40 minutes back, no, never gonna make it. She's gonna blow this bus up.' Well, so what do you think happens? I've got crew buses coming. You think, micro management. 'Okay, how far are they?' They've been drinking longer, they're lager (?). So, they are 27 minutes behind Ben's bus. I'm gonna test you. (Laughs) Now, the band bus, is 17 feet in front of me. So, I say, 'Troy, get Bulldog.' Who is the driver for the band. 'To pull into this fucking Arco (?) now! And I want to know if Mrs. Folds is alright.' So, prthtdm, we pull in, Tash gets out of the bus, 'When can I drive?' 'Shhh.' Now, all of this is going on, tour manager- British, very intelligent, my guy, says, 'Talk to them. They think they're gonna be okay. But the crew buses are coming, and they know they have to look out for them. And yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda, yadda.' So, I'm thinking, you know, poor Ben, oh my god. Is he gonna be like, you know, one of these(?)? And play with his feet, and da da da da. So, I see him last night, right, in Vegas. I'm sending wine everything, buhdudm. 'Hey Ben, how you doin?' 'Oh, I'm fine.' 'You are?' He goes, 'Yeah I'm great!' I said, 'How's your bus?' 'Well, what you talking about?' I said, 'You were hit by a semi.' He goes, ' I was?!' I said, 'Everybody in here now.' He was hit by a semi. I said, 'What were you doing?' He said, 'I was sleeping with my wife.'"

Pete, et al: A semi is a big truck, also known as a tractor-trailer. I guess over there you'd call it a giant lorry or something. I don't understand how you talk over there, and the reverse clearly is also true. :-) http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/pix/trucks/ross_burnham/rod_smith_tractor_trailer.jpg http://www.hankstruckpictures.com/burnham2.htm There's a bunch of them.
