Joining us today for Nic Cage’s favorite interview series which references one of his movies is action sports lifestyle network @FUELTV.
Q: On a scale of 1-10, How awesome is the movie Face-Off?
A: 7.5 It’s no Con-Air (the Holy Grail of bad Nic Cage movies) and it’s also no “Broken Arrow” (the HG of bad Travolta movies)
Nic Cage’s accent in Con Air might be the worst of all-time
Q: Your new show Bubba’s World premiered Sunday, how much shrimp is involved?
A: If “shrimp” is slang for “hot chicks in bikinis” then, a ton. (Ed. Note: I know what I am doing Sunday now)
Q from @thedewtour: Can you give me an interesting fact that most people don’t know about a #DewTour athlete?
A: Fabrizio Santos just changed his relationship status on Facebook to “single”
Q: Fill in the blank for this SAT question – Video Killed the Radio Star:MTV::____________:FuelTV

Q from @Dmills3: Do you think there should be more network coverage for action sports events besides the X Games?
