Does any video exist of Stalker Patti being made over on Muarry?

I remember seeing clips of it on Foundry, so it's gotta be around somewhere.

I remember a funny moment years later when Louis CK was in studio, Maury was on TV the studio and it was the Stalker Patti episode, and Louie notices it and goes "Is...is that Stalker Patti on Maury?" and they just completely brush it off. "Huh? Oh, yeah, that is her. Anyway, we have this audio..."

On Tuesday or Wednesday's show? I heard him talking on Tuesday about how he's still "thinking about" weed again, so the same thing he's been saying since 2002.

I don't recall him saying he made it up. Maybe he just said that to make nice when they made up, but that's a pretty drat specific detail about someone to just make up on the fly for spite purposes.

Also, Louis CK was very good yesterday, definitely worth listening to.

So, Philip Seymour Hoffman is dead. I gotta imagine they'll talk about that as I believe he's responsible for quite a few sound clips and they all (at least I know Jimmy and Ant do)love his characters.

This was never discussed on the show, and I only heard about it through a chance listening of a Nick DiPaolo podcast, but Jimmy actually had Thanksgiving with Hoffman this past year. Apparently Louie CK had a big get-together at his place for Thanksgiving, and invited the likes of Bob Kelly, Jimmy, DiPaolo, and also Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Nick didn't say much about it, except that Hoffman was absolutely obsessed with this cornbread that he brought to bake, and was constantly tending to it in the oven.

So is this 90 day fiance thing a paid endorsement? The boys were saying they get the episodes in advance.

Either way I'm ashamedly captivated by it, that Pao is a 10/10

They usually get advanced screeners and such for guests. I think they stumbled onto the show, and Roland knows the publicist (of course, it's a TLC show), so he got them the advance episodes once they agreed to have the couple on as guests.

I'm strangely captivated by the show too. It's funny because even though there's a lot creative license with the editing and stuff, the people all appear to be real. That small-town Brazilian girl obviously isn't as naive as they portray, since she's been tweeting since 2011.

Speaking of the diet, when Dr. Ian Smith was in he was ragging on E-Rock for his "water enhancers" by saying stuff like "Aw man, don't touch that stuff! It'll give you ball cancer! Who knows what artificial stuff is in that??" so then I looked at his website and his "shred" branded food items, and his lovely snack bars are loaded with all sorts of additives, and the same artificial sweeteners that he said caused cancer. Out of all the people involved with the weight loss thing, E-Rock is the only one even close to being likable.

I also love how Ant has been trashing family guy for jokes that basically repeat over and over until it's so annoying it's supposed to be funny. That's all Opie does now and it's awful. That irony can't be lost on them, can it?

Opie is notoriously tone-deaf to things like that, and there have been many times where he subliminally gets influenced by it. The biggest example is one time a few years ago, they did a pretty lengthy break on how awful the phrase "brings the funny" is. It was mostly Ant and Jim going off on it, but it was more than a passing mention. The very next day (perhaps even the same day) Opie says "After the break we've got Patrice O'Neal coming in...man, Patrice just brings the funny. Patrice really brings the funny." And then after the break Opie sheepishly had to admit that he said "brings the funny" and he was incredibly embarrassed. It's happened several times where Ant/Jim trash something, and then Opie does the exact thing shortly thereafter, and gets all embarrassed and says "Ok I don't get uncomfortable on the show ever, but I am now."

Also I love Opie acting like Ant is a genius for noticing the Family Guy thing, when South Park did an episode on it in 2006.

Breuer and the Pizza Guy made TMZ:

quote:

"Half Baked" star Jim Breuer's ex-neighbor is now facing felony stalking charges -- after allegedly mailing a box of condoms to the actor's Jersey house ... in a perverted joke involving Jim's underage daughters.

Sources close to Jim tell TMZ, the actor's been having problems with Giuseppe Ionfrida for a couple years ... but it got particularly twisted back in December.

We're told Ionfrida allegedly left extremely creepy comments on a YouTube video about Jim, such as ... "How's your three pretty daughters doing " Days later, Jim claims Ionfrida shipped him a box of condoms.

We're told Jim called police in early January, and Ionfrida was arrested on felony stalking charges.

We spoke to Ionfrida who told us he denies leaving the YouTube comments about Jim and his daughters. He did say he doesn't like his kids hanging around Jim -- which is an issue since their kids are friends.

Ionfrida has a hearing Wednesday on the stalking charges... and is prohibited from contacting Jim and his family as a condition of bail.

I'm surprised Ant took the Fox News stance on legalizing weed (not yesterday with Dan Soder, but a few weeks ago). I think it was before the tax stats came out, but he was really condescending and said "Yeah, I don't know about legalizing weed. We don't need a stoned populous." About 10 seconds later he came to his senses a bit and said "Well, I guess if you weren't smoking before you probably won't now, and if you smoke now you'd do it anyway..." Still pretty interesting how he instantly went with the Fox mentality though. Now his reasoning for not legalizing weed is "If you put dispensaries in areas with inner-city crime, a thug will assault you for your weed outside." I guess we should probably get rid of ATMs in cities too, Ant.

I was surprised O&A&J didn't know that people didn't like the word tranny anymore, but then I realized I only know that from reading these forums for so long.

I've been listening to stuff from 07-09 and it was jarring at how much they used fag and human being since they never say it anymore. I wonder if they were told not to.

Jim still throws around human being pretty casually, although it's usually at himself. After hearing the break today, I'm guessing they're gonna stick with the same mentality for tranny as they do for human being, which is "It's not offensive to me and I can't empathize with those that find it offensive, so I'll keep using it."

The last time I heard David audio is when I was listening to E-rock eating Sam's dad's "greatest treats of all time." E-rock was gagging down the buttermilk and nearly vomiting every time he sipped it, so they had David try it. He thought it tasted great.

EDIT: On today's show, Ant's Jim Florentine impression was so spot-on I actually thought Jim was in studio.

Man, remember up to 2007 when Anthony would argue tooth and nail that he wasn't a racist and that people who accused him of such where PC crybabies?

Say what you will about Obama, but he's certainly made the racists far more open to admitting their racism.

The early XM days are funny because Ant very rarely talked about race, and when he did, he tip-toed around things and was never really offensive. Jimmy, however, called anyone from the middle east a "savage" who "funds terrorism", constantly made fun of Asians for having expressionless faces, and would casually throw out n-bombs (I recall him saying some piece of listener audio "sucks friend of the family dick"). Jim has definitely come around on a lot of that stuff.

Wasn't Otto really sick from some kind of an infection or something last year? I wonder if it was related to that.

Yeah, he had bacterial meningitis. He was in studio after that though, so he seemed to recover. Jim said that Otto took a nap and just didn't wake up.

Today they talked about Otto's "demons" and drug use, with Bob Levy calling in saying that Otto "finally got control of his life." So who knows what his drug use was like in recent years, but they definitely used to mention him stories about Rich Vos copping crack and such.

Yeah, I also had to bail out during that conversation. I don't even consider myself to be PC, but you can only hear "human being doesn't mean gay! you say it when your friend doesn't wanna go out!" so many times. I couldn't care less if a bunch of 50-year-olds say "human being" or "gay", but their absolute stubbornness and utter refusal to see it any other way than their own is just mind-boggling. I also got really sick of frat-boy "haze the new guy" Opie. He'll never do that against confident guys like Burr or Dan Soder, but someone like Bert is perfect for Opie to pick on. I wonder how Opie would react if it were Joe Rogan saying he doesn't say "human being" anymore (which he doesn't).

Also, didn't see much mention here of Jimmy's Vice show. What are everyone's thoughts about it? I foresee a hell of a lot of blinking, bug eyeing and (in CQ's words) doing an imitation of an intellectual.

I don't know how Jim got it into his head that he's a good interviewer, but he's not. I can't really see it going well. Jim thinks that reading someone's wiki/imdb page in front of them (and then getting corrected for asking about erroneous information) is a sign of a good interview.

Yeah, that's been the vibe for a while now. I think the only time it wasn't in recent memory is when Louie popped in unannounced at the end of the show. Other than that appearance, it's them interviewing him and fawning over how famous he is, while he makes noises like "hm. meh. blrgh."

And his show is definitely not as brilliant as people make it out to be. A lot of episodes are really funny, some are great while not being funny, but a lot of them are just not good at all. Which is fine, it's not like a TV show has to be amazing every single episode.

Harping back to the Louie debate, that episode where he's opening up for Jerry, if you have ever done comedy, it's both gut wrenching and loving hilarious what is going on. I keep having to pause it because I can't take how close to home it hits. Even everything before it, the lead up has been my experience that lead to the inevitable conclusion

I'm so glad that episode had the twist toward the end, because I was beginning to wonder what the gently caress was going on and if Louie just decided to write himself having sex with hot models.

Also, this interaction between Jim and Louie on Monday was really funny to me:

Jim: I was looking at this picture from Lucky Louie of me, you, and Rick Shapiro. Boy, was I fat disgusting pig.
Louie: You were never a fat person.
Jim: Oh, I was. I was loving so fat.
Louie: You have mental problems.
