Please Do Not Prank SHUT UP WEIRDO.

[Stupornaut]

ACT I
A country road. A tree.
Evening.

JAMES, sitting on a low mound, is trying to take off his toupee. He pulls at it with both hands, panting. He gives up, exhausted, rests, tries again. As before. Enter VLADIMIR.

JAMES: [giving up again] Nothing to be done.
VLADIMIR: There's man all over for you, blaming on his toupee the faults of his head. [He takes off his hat again, peers inside it, feels about inside it, knocks on the crown, blows into it, puts it on again.] This is getting alarming. One of the thieves was saved. It's a reasonable percentage. [Pause.] James?
JAMES: What?
VLADIMIR: Suppose we repented.
JAMES: Repented what? [A flash of shabby mischief in his eyes. Runs at Vladimir, dances, giggles, waves his hands in the air.] JAMES JAMES JAMES JAMES!! [Exits.]
[Vladimir sighs, sits on the mound.]
VLADIMIR: That, for a start. [Pause.] Nothing to be done.

You win the Pulitzer.

I believe "Shut Up Fool" was a line of dialogue in Endgame.

I always thought that was from No Exit.

[iAmBaronVonTito]

im here to vent: i went back to the archive and listened to their show again.  i made it past the first 15 minutes this time.  the obvious problem (besides not paying their dues) is that instead of talking to the audience, they talk to each other. 

way to alienate, jerks.

I listened to the show from last Friday yesterday, but only made it about halfway through (and even that took about 3 tries). Their show suffers from what sooooooo many (almost all) podcasts suffer from too - reason for existence. Sure, the technology exists to record your voice and throw it out there, we all have access to it - but what do you have to say that makes you even think you should? And not just that, but are any of these people seriously asking themselves if their life or commentary on it are even interesting enough to actually invite (force?) people to listen? So many people just hit the record button and start babbling without even coming up with a reason to do so in the first place, and then toss the label "talk radio" on it afterwards, almost as an excuse. Which is an insult to the greats of talk radio, who apparently make it all seem so easy that "Joe Numbnuts" and "Sally Nopersonality" think they can jump into the arena as unfocused as they are too.

If the show is around in 6 months, I might peek in again, but Be Quiet, Jerk is in some rough, rough waters right now. That said, I wouldn't miss the show tonight for a hundred bucks.

No, that's "Hell is other people's jibber-jabber."

i think this proves Tom's point, "You don't have to say everything that comes into your head."  essentially, just because you CAN, doesnt mean you SHOULD. 

and to hear that frangry is twenty-eight is a real shocker.  it has nothing to do with her voice, everything to do with her whining and behavior.

Oh yeah, wow, that is shocking. I wouldn't have said more than 21 via the pics and hearing her.

Good for her, I guess.

"Shut Up, Weirdo" lost me when they named their show "Shut Up, Weirdo."

[mostlymeat]

"I was trying to think of a show I could do, and I was a big fan of 7 second delay, and a big fan of Scharpling's"

from shut up weirdo's 7SD fill-in show, by way of explanations, at about 8:45

I'd like to think that their banter is leading up to a big gag in a future show, kind of like the lead up to the h-man show. All that pain, finally released with one big gag. You know?

"I was trying to think of a show I could do, and I was a big fan of 7 second delay, and a big fan of Scharpling's"

on their comments, it says;

From: Tom Sharpling

HOLY MOLY this is bad. This causes me to yearn for a SSD trainwreck.

From: Andy Cohen

You're not my real Tom Scharpling -- the real Tom Scharpling would know how to spell his last name.

i have no doubt he's a fan of Tom (just show some respect).

Exactly. Who does this guy think he is, Jerry Lee Lewis? Bend your knee, son.

Yes, this is awesome.  Can you do The James Menagerie?
