Sam Beam interview with KEXP's Greg Vandy

[levimcduffie]

this interview was hard to watch but I liked learning about his past a little bit, but the interviewer was a fucking tool

[MrUnderself]

So, how many people have you met? Do you like baseball? Favorite color? Do you like animals?

[GlumLotDrums]

This interviewer is sooo awkward.

[datngatrel]

"Hey Greg"

*like*

[abfplano54]

this interviewer is a choad

[NicoBleackley]

I want to smack the interviewer in the face every time he does that shit eating grin.

[ccsss100]

He wants to grow a beard so bad. He's even wearing the same shirt as Sam.

[marsman888]

Sam looks totally blazed in this interview.

[tabber87]

Anyone who wears a hat like that is trying too damn hard.

[brownteal21]

"It makes your eyes pop."

What color does he think his eyes are? Red?

[WinterSportsSchool]

that guy is fawkward

[hampoofegg]

I love how Sam's accent randomly gets stronger and weaker as he talks

[blakemorris12]

i feel awkward watching this

[Brygelsmack]

4:16, fucking owned. xD

[Brygelsmack]

Sam Beam is brilliant.

[SuperNoobTroll]

omg 4:19 is as funny as Between Two Ferns!!!!

[TheCompleteGuitarist]

I don't know why everyone is on a downer about the interviewer. He asks some good questions. What are you reading are you still making movies etc?

The douches are the douche makers.

[thereversedcircle]

I just love his beard. He's standing there trying to be normal, but he's like... GOT A HUGE BEARD!! xD

[felixramsey]

This is so awkward.

[aliasanythingyouwant]

who wouldn't love for this man to make a movie? or just write one? that's if it didn't take time away from the music...

[catsaretheshit]

"I was a hardass man. Yeah. I'll show you."

[pjmgrooves]

"I wasn't all that cool..."

Sam Beam, you're so damn cool.

[Christophersboyd]

I'm amused by how many people try to interpret every angle of the interview. It was not as awkward as some make it out to be. And really, all interviews are some what strange simply because it's not a normal conversation atmosphere. It's just something that's done to appease the listeners.

[wenser13]

The interviewer has a major lisp..haha.

[zappafan136]

you can tell that Sam had no idea to respond to his eyes popping statement lmao this is deliciously awkward.

[futoncat]

@zappafan136 That was the best part, i think.

[soadfan]

awkward ending

[grotonhomie]

hahahaha "just Florida films"

[jainsworr]

I don't see what's so wrong with the interviewer?

[tylerismybf0]

why does this man get the privilege of talking to Sam like this???

[jacecrawford]

I feel SO bad for Sam . . . that was a downward spiral that guy should not ever be aloud to talk Artists ever, haha i think its funny when Sam looks at his fiance as if to say .  .. really you picked that guy .. .i'm sorry haha, and that guy says that his shirt makes his eyes pop . . . what the F does that mean ?

[datngatrel]

Sam Beam is so chill.

[emmgardner01234]

sooo awkward.

[emmgardner01234]

dear lord...

[Tenorsarefun]

damn, Sam is such a cool, laid back guy. I'm glad I listen to artists with genuine personalities.

[Auldhelm]

I thought it was a good interview I really liked hearing Sam Beam talk about his beginnings. I liked the interviewer too.

[swimprincess592]

this is horrid. and they're wearing matching shirts.. ???

[B4mmTk]

Oh GOD this is so painful to watch.

[icemanguitar]

hahaah hes like "dam ur gttn married to this guy!?"

[bephen]

most awkward interviewer ever

[GuitaristInTheSky]

I don't think the interviewer isn't listening to him as much as he is just plain awkward, and i really wanted to hear about Sam's take on the trapeze swinger as well as many other songs, but i guess just talkin about the general stuff is important too......

[acebrawler73]

Its funny how much the interviewer is getting trashed. And he has multiple interviews on this channel. He's no good because you can tell that he's barely listening to the answers sam is giving. He's just thinking of his next question and waiting for sam to finish talking. He needs to work on that.

[eithnekavanagh]

wats wrong with the interviewer??

[BlankRainbow]

Dang. I love this guy. =D Hahaha Sam Beam...not the interviewer...

He kinda reminds me of Alan from the Hangover. xD

[XImsXdemiseXCI]

Makes me wonder how Vandy got a job as an interviewer in the first place

[thaportcityskater]

@XImsXdemiseXCI it's just the beard

[Sephir0th59]

poor sam. this interviewer is horrible haha.

[barbiequeen1]

They are wearing the same shirt!! Do you think they planned that?

[tucker20333]

"It makes your eyes pop" What a creeper! This interviewer is such a perv!

[mostlycaveman]

The expression on Sam's face when the interviewer says "it makes your eyes pop" is the funniest thing I've seen all day. Talk about awkward moment.

[CrimsonEmpire]

I love how down to earth he seems. Like a guy you would meet at the grocery store or something like that.

[pickymcgee]

zack galifinakis anybody?

[leraginasian]

the camera man should've put it on manuel focus haha

[Booshielubber]

wow. this guy....not sam. the interviewer.

sam is amazing. this guy is just....weasly.

i wish i could hear what sam is thinking during this.

"what did he just ask me? and why is his nose making that noise?"

[lambdachi1826]

I cannot get over that they are wearing the exact same shirt just in different colors and one is long sleeved vs short sleeves. Sam Beam is my own personal Jesus. I wanna get stoned with him and play some tunes.

[spittal69]

I need a beard...

[buryyourflames]

@spittal69 I feel ya. This man has inspired me to grow one.

[pubfun]

@spittal69 I wish I was old enough to grow one. Unfortunately I'm only 16 and though I grow about a millimeter each night, i barley have any stubble.

[LeDINOZAVRE]

To the people commenting on Sam being short; Hes not thaaaaat short. I hugged him and was the same size, which is 5"7'

[pubfun]

@LeDINOZAVRE He's 5'8 which is average.

[logandc123]

I just kept waiting for 'greg' to ask him out on a date or something.

[emakne]

@logandc123

hahaha, seriously!

[standingonair777]

he reminds me of Isaac Brock

[crankdatunowho]

omg what the fuckk....where'd you get the shirt? seriously? it makes your eyes pop? what the fuckin shit....that guy should go die, along with his wife/

[crankdatunowho]

***** for sam, none for the fucker asking the questions..

[tonystanfield]

Horrible questions but great answers haha. The sarcasim with his answers cracked me up.

[ledzepaudball]

awkward.....lol. sam is so laid back and this guy is just...awkward. "are you down with the music?" lol uum...well, hes a musician so..i would think so

[ChoadaLoad666]

that interviewer was fucking stupid.

[xtina1982]

:55 - 1:00 - "yeah, just florida films."

god damn, you could hear the whoosh over greg's head. that was awesome. :D

[Pledian]

I was a hardass man....lol i don't think there are many people on Sam's level.

[456knarf]

"At the clothes store..." lmao

[wardc03]

Good God... What a douche bag interviewer.

[DawnpatrolTrev]

@wardc03

Really? I mean... maybe not the most pleasant personality, but a douche bag? O, forgot this is the internet and any opinion needs to be extreme.

[wardc03]

@DawnpatrolTrev Oh believe me, I could have been much more extreme.

[heartzeppelin]

sam is super relaxed and chill and this interveiwer looks like a fag and asks bad questions. wooow.

[7tilsleep]

i love this. sam is hilarious.

[superwarlock12]

hahah love the akwardness. baad questions though

[coberst01]

Sam seems like he'd be hard to interview. Just so relaxed..

[SUNSHiNEYX3]

lol awkward but i love sam, so adorable :)

[deathchips]

So, is Sam really short or something?

I never noticed.

[Lewellent]

yeah he's a lot shorter than you'd think. I saw him live a month ago and he was surprisingly small. But symbolically huge, of course.

[cliberacki]

:54 "yeah, just Florida films" lmao

[farubino]

awk

[illm4t1c]

fucking awkward as hell lol. "where'd you get the shirt?" -- "at the clothes store." -- "it makes your eyes pop!" -- "thanks". LOL

[weareHOUSES]

The interviewer seems like he's concentrating so much on his own questions that he's not really listening to Sam Beam answer.

[angelomcculloch]

Haha I feel bad for him, shit

[absolut3destiny]

They're both really awkward hehe.

[bebellis225]

well that was funny!
