Nightcharm: Hi Daniel. It’s Nightcharm calling.

Daniel Nardicio: Your timing is impeccable. I’m shopping right now.

Nightcharm: What are you shopping for?

Daniel: I’m at Michael Fina’s which is pretty upscale. I’m looking at diamonds. I’m not actually going to buy diamonds nor do I wear diamonds but I like looking at them.

Nightcharm: I think I recall a picture of you having something to do with diamonds somehow.

Daniel: Really?

Nightcharm: I don’t know for sure. It seemed like maybe you had diamonds in your teeth, or you were wearing an enormous diamond necklace or something?

Daniel: Maybe, maybe. There are a lot of pictures out there. A lot of dirty pictures of me.

Nightcharm: So you’re taking a trip across America pretty soon, sounds like on a bus — is that it?

Daniel: Yeah! It’s pretty fucking great. I was just having a meeting about that. Basically we’re doing a big party tour across America. A bus filled with New York’s best and brightest (assorted photos below). Everything from trannies to go-go boys to drag queens to porn stars. Basically we’re going across the country and filming it as a reality show/docu-drama about how America responds to these people. And on the way we’re looking for America’s hottest go-go boys so it’s sort of a competition and at the end we pick, like, the hottest one.

Nightcharm: You’re starting in Baltimore, right?

Daniel: Yeah yeah; we filmed that last week, actually.

Nightcharm: So who won?

Daniel: A boy named Ethan, who is adorable. He’s so hot.

Nightcharm: Uh huh…

Daniel: So we got on this giant bus and it was like a super hot day and there’s no air conditioning and the bus driver “called in” so I had to drive this giant yellow school bus filled with trannies and drag queens — it was pretty intense. We got into Jersey on the turnpike and the police pulled us over and said, “We know who you are, and we know what you’re doing. Get back on the bus and get out of Jersey.”

Nightcharm: Why?! I don’t get it. Are you serious?

Daniel: Because we were stopping at the truck stops and we were just getting, you know stuff to eat, and coffee or something, but I guess we just drew a lot of attention and they were … concerned. And there’s a law that you can’t film things on the turnpike. And the whole thing was a little … well see, this is the experience.

Nightcharm: There’s something awfully ‘Borat’ about the whole thing.

Daniel: Yeah. I say it’s like Priscilla Queen of the Desert meets Road Rules because in town after we pick up the go-go boy who wins the competition [people can] log into my website, Dlist.com and vote off one of the go-go boys and then we leave that kid behind.

We just shot like fifty hours of material. I was only one of the cameras. There were constantly people filming at rest stops and restaurants. One of the trannies was giving some trucker head at a truck stop and they filmed her — it’s hysterical stuff.

Nightcharm: How are you going to release the project?

Daniel: The first episode is going to be on Dlist.com and on Maleflixxx.tv. We’re going to have it on both sites so people can watch it for free and vote for the cast like, “Oh I like this trannie,” or “I like this drag queen.” We took twenty-five people but we’re going to whittle it down to like fifteen because that’s a little bit more of a doable number. Twenty-five is a lot. A lot of yammering.

Nightcharm: So maybe I could ask you some questions about [your site] Dlist?

Daniel: Absolutely.

N: Okay, so I was looking at your profile the other day and you’ve got this note up asking guys to please stop unlocking their “private pics” for you because you’re suffering “cock overload.” So how many guys are unlocking their cocks for you on a daily basis?

Daniel: Like ten an hour.

Nightcharm: TEN AN HOUR?

Daniel: Ten an hour. I can’t deal with it and believe me there’s no one who likes cock more than I do. There’s no one who can appreciate people shoving it down my face like I do, but, it takes a lot of energy to open up pictures and I’m the type of guy … by nature I’m polite so I always feel like I have to write back something like, “that’s hot” or, “jeez, I wish …” you know whatever. You know what I mean? Something.

Nightcharm: Right.

Daniel: And I can’t do that. There was a point where the site started off and it was very like … homespun and I could respond to everyone.

… Hello, are you there? Sorry, wait, did you say something?

Nightcharm: No.

Daniel: I think it’s the diamonds — they’re deflecting my signal. Anyway, you don’t really need to unlock the private pictures for me — I can look at them, so that’s kind of my thing. It’s like, enough already.

Nightcharm: Yeah I remember on Dlist Radio you were saying you sometimes sneak a look at guys.

Daniel: Oh totally. Totally. Why else have a site, if you can’t, like, look at people’s dicks? Because there are some hot guys on that site! And it really surprises me sometimes.

Nightcharm: It’s famous for that actually.

Daniel: Yeah! Dan Savage said it best when he said “The hottest guys on the web are on Dlist.com.” And I really don’t know why. Like, I’d like to think I have something to do with it, but I really don’t think I do. I think it’s a fluke.

Nightcharm: So if someone’s just starting out on Dlist, what do you like to see in a profile? Is there any phrase you’re just completely sick of hearing?

Daniel: Oh god. Please, please, please never say you’re “bringing sexy back.” It’s like the least imaginative phrase and it’s a year old. You can do anything. But don’t do that, and don’t put up a picture of Justin Timberlake. I have pet peeves about this. I just think people should put up pictures of themselves.

Nightcharm: Right.

Daniel: And we’re really diligent on Dlist [about catching fake profiles]. Some people will argue with you and say, “everyone’s fake.” But everyone isn’t fake.

Nightcharm: People think so because there are so many hot guys.

Daniel: Right. They think, “There’s too many hot guys in there — they’re prob’ly fake” and I’m like, “Whatever, be bitter; I don’t really care.”

Nightcharm: Anything else you’d like to say?

Daniel: Just keep an eye out for the show! It’ll be up on Dlist like mid-July.

Nightcharm: Great.
