Interview someone — a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman — and write a post based on their responses.

I recently had a moment to sit down and interview my bearded dragon Sandy about his thoughts on the new Johnny Depp/Amber Heard documentary on Netflix.

Me: How have you been? I heard you’re quite a fan of Netflix these days.

Sandy: Yeah, my owners were nice enough to put the big television were I can see what they are watching. They are pretty nice….for humans.

Me: That’s good. So you saw the new Johnny Depp/Amber Heard documentary recently?

Sandy: Yes it was fascinating to see how people absolutely lost their minds over this trial.

Me: What did you like about the documentary?

Sandy: I thought it did a good job of showing both perspectives, but I gotta say that both of them seemed to have their issues. I can see why their relationship turned into a dumpster fire.

Me: What did you not like about it?

Sandy: Well I would of liked more close ups of small insects, especially some crickets. I also would of liked for these famous humans to use their platforms for something other than acting like hatchlings. I mean the whole pooping in the bed thing….I do that all the time, what is the big deal?

Me: Well said, well said….maybe in the sequel the producers can add some insect cameo’s to bring in more of the reptile crowd.

Sandy’s Favorite Meal Worms – (Sandy and I are Amazon Affiliate Marketers)

Sandy: Yeah it would be nice if they anticipated our wants and needs a little more. Sometimes it feels like they don’t realize we are the ones powering a lot of their ratings. I literally can’t turn my television off.

Me: Ok, one last question….rumor has it that you are thinking of trying out for Alone season 11 in Australia, any truth to this?

Shameless self promotion – (I am a Amazon Affiliate Marketer) – I have to make like 10 bucks in the next 150 days or I am off the Amazon team! Yikes!

Pedro Pascual Air Freshener – Check out this Pedro Pascal Air Freshener – only $10! – It keeps your car smelling nice while warding off evil spirits! Sandy loves it (as long as it is not nearby, as beardi’s are sensitive to smell)!

Sandy: I can neither confirm nor deny these reports at this time, but my agent feels positively about my future as a reality star. I mean if Johnny Depp and Amber Heard can do it, how hard can it be?

Me: Lol….facts! Ok, that is a wrap then, thank you for your insights and good luck with your next project.

(Sandy tilts head down wondering when the mealworms will be delivered)
