Awesome!  Will I be pushing my luck if I ask for Glengarry Glen James?

How can I deny you, Mr. G? One more.


(A booth at a Chinese restaurant. JAMES and OTHER JAMES, both drinking.)

JAMES: I do those things which seem correct to me today.  I trust myself.  And if security concerns me, I do that which today I think will make me secure -- like stock up on toupee glue. And every day I do that, when that day arrives that I need a reserve, a) odds are that I have it, and b) the true reserve that I have is the strength that I have of acting each day without fear. (pause) According to the crazed dictates of my mind. (pause) Radios, telephones, chat rooms, sound boards stocked with disconnected audio clips.  Now: what are they? (pause) An opportunity. To what? To win notoriety? Perhaps. To annoy? Perhaps. To "indulge" and to "learn" about ourselves?  Perhaps. So fucking what?  What isn't? They're an opportunity to James one's fellow man. That's all. They're an event.  You find a public forum, you make a call, you send an email, it doesn't matter, "You got Jamesed." What does it mean? What you want it to mean. (pause) That's all it is. We're all different. (pause) We're not the same. (pause) We are not the same. (pause) Hmmm. (pause, sighs) It's been a long day. (pause) What are you drinking?
OTHER JAMES: Yoo-Hoo and cough syrup.
JAMES: (pause) Well, let's have a couple more. My name is James, what's yours?
OTHER JAMES: Also James.
JAMES: You're about to get Jamesed, James.
OTHER JAMES: You too, James.

(Pause. They stand up giggle, dance, wave their arms in the air, use one hand to steady each of their toupees.)

TOGETHER: JAMES JAMES JAMES JAMES JAMES!




Amazing.

Ditto.  I'm debating whether or not to ask for Shakespeare.

I'm finally listening to SUW.  It's not so bad. 
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

I'm just waiting for Trembling Eagle to make the inevitable "Come on bro, you have to at least admit that Frangry is hot" thread.

To think Andy and that one could so easily have avoided all of this too.

Priceless!

Not SKWM Andy Cohen.  It caused a little dissonance in my brain, too. 

Andy Cohen (the Hebrew Hendrix) lives in Chicago, and is a lawyer and facemelting guitar player for the great Bottomless Pit. 

This other Andy Cohen seems to be just a bit rude.

I think it's just a fact of life that talk show hosts always are each other's enemies.

Howard Stern v. Imus and Greaseman and the rest.  That NY Times magazine Rush Limbaugh piece had him trashing all the other conservative talk show hosts.  And remember when Bob Edwards held a "funeral" for Ira Glass?

Did anyone notice that Andy Cohen snubbed TBS again on 10/10/08?  I haven't heard much chatter on this.  It could be old news for all I know--I've been out of the loop.

If I'm correct, at around the 42:43 minute mark (mp3), it goes like this:


Caller:  "The government for not admitting the truth about UFO"

Andy Cohen:  "I think that's, ah, Tuesdays at 11:00, that's the call-in, that's the show that you want to be calling into.  Did I get that right?"





**If I had the technological prowess I would post the audio file for the exact quote.

I think he was probably referring to Night People and just got the time wrong.
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Frangry's uncle was great, though.

no way, that was so weird.  definitely something i did not need to hear.

not to mention, she stabbed a guy in the hand with a fork because he called her, "toots?"  everybody start buying stock in forks, frangry is going to make us all rich.

from Andy's Blog

ps. which Portland? Maine? (something like "North Bergen" would've been a better choice)

Woah, he quoted me!  I thought I wrote one of the least hateful things on here maybe (maybe not).  Anyway it was the truth.

You're referring to Frangry's story, I'm guessing?  I'm talking about the call someone made as her uncle.

The main reason I was hoping the calls would stop--it was actually making the show listenable!! Finally it's true mediocrity became apparent anyway...making it easy to abort.

Point is...That show does not deserve a free ride from FOT! >:(

(I'm usually so positive and pleasant, too. WTF!)
