That's what you get for bringing Boy Gary along.

Seriously, that's really shitty and I can't wait for him to come home so he can talk about his experience on the radio.

Holy crap. This is SCARY stuff. Keep ya head up Andie.

Hopefully that was the worst of it.

When do they come back? I bet they all come back all shell shocked.

Dang.

Nothing like a shocking dose of reality to scare you a little, I'm glad he came out uninjured

Damn, good to know everyone was ok, that's a hell of a wake up call!

The worst part about shit like that is when it first starts you have no idea where it's coming from, all you know is you better get to cover!

Can't wait to hear what Nick has to say about this!

I pray they all make it back safely. They all deserve a round of applause for going over there. It had to be stressful enough, without the bombing, just coming up with material because of everything taboo & off limits over there that is pretty much mainstream here.

It will not have been worth Artie having gone over there if he has any trauma from this. For Nick, i think he'll come back even stronger than when he went over there.

Looking forward to more BlogTV's with F'n Nick !

Welcome to the world guys! Really glad they are safe! If it means anything Dollface those fucks can't use mortors to save their life, and we have systems in place that can pinpoint where they fired from I am sure before that attack was over with we had our own arty raining down on their positions killing those little fucks!

Damn, glad Nick is safe. And the Howard Stern people, too, even though I'm an O&A fan. That's the closest I've ever heard of any celebrities entertaining over there being in danger. They protect them very well, I've heard.

Glad the savages that did that are likely pieces of ripped up meat in crumbled concrete.

Well, it would be nice to hear from Nick and maybe Artie for a little while maybe on Fri. night. Get the word out by email and maybe also with Steve on Howard news. Hey, it could happen, right?

Glad everybody got back OK.

Hey Now - Maybe Nick could do Blog TV on Sunday night, instead. It looks like Nick is busy. Lets 'lobby' for a Blog TV appearance this weekend.....
Best to you all

Hello people. Nick got in Saturday night, had Sunday at home to adjust back to our time and then left for 2 weeks in Montreal on Monday. He goes straight from Montreal to NJ, then he gets home late night on the 19th, so I'm preeeeeety sure he won't be doing a blog tv show soon. We're getting all his photos from the trip together to post sometime next week though.

Is there any chance that someone had a video camera running during the close call?

It'd be interesting to see that video, if it exists.

Glad everyone's ok and respect to Nick for having the balls to travel over there for the good of our soldiers.

Did he end up taking Mike Baker with him to document the trip?

No Mike is a big PUSSY and couldn't handle the gun fire and told Nick, so Nick didn't want him bringing the moral of the team down!

I wonder if Nick's perspective has changed or just strengthened regarding the whole clusterfuck.

to give you an idea of a typical motor attack and retaliation...

How cool was that? To get a nice little email...
Saw the video of Nick firing the M-60......WOW
I remember boot camp in San Diego [yes, I was a Hollywood Marine], and when we went to Pendleton for combat training......
nothing beats the sight of a Claymore [plastic explosive] going off.....
remember, pain is good, death is ecstacy
OOH-RAH
