FOTs on Morning Court TV

[MikeInManhattan]

Frank from Weehawken and Mike in Manhattan "smoothed" (scammed) their way onto a morning TV court and can be seen proudly wearing their FOT badges. The show had a bailiff. We're 70% hilarity ensues but who knows what precious jewels fell to the editing room floor.

Today - Thursday - 1pm - channel 11
http://www.streetcourttv.com/   has a commercial


The case - MinM stole cash from his band Family Fun so FfromW could "produce" their first "record." Let me know if it's any good  - can't watch TV at the saltmine.

Best,
MinM

awwwwww, missed it. surprising considering the 15 minute advance notice.  Let us know when it's online!

I really hope that you can youtube this, put it on Vimeo, whatever. JUST GET IT IN MY BRAIN

Also, this reminds me of a Q and A I did:

That MinM looks pretty slick and that guy yelling, who may or may not be the judge, seemed to call his bluff.  I'm thinking he had to pay up.

Finally up!

Street Court TV - starring Frank from Weehawken, Mike from Manhattan, and the rest of Family Fun... It's amazing that this whole idea went this far but I guess Frank will be the first to admit he's no stranger to being corrected by a judge, Mike is no stranger to theft from friends/loved ones, and Paul is no stranger to being a big goddamn baby that looks like a taller version of Mike...

"Why don't you just take an icepick and drive it through my eye?"

Mike's tie makes this video.

What is a "huckelero"?  NEVER MIND: I looked this up and it is a word made up by Judge Mazz.  Awesome.



Regional alert: It is entirely possible to live in any of the 3/4 of the country that is not the Northeast and never hear the phrase "Again with the..."  or even "This guy with the.."

I find it charming, but perhaps that's because nobody ever says it to me.

[methanolcereal]

haha, that's great guys.

How much "scamming" did you have to do to get on?

[JustNicole]

Yes!  Called it.

Wait, are you guys in Family Fun?  I actually saw you at Hank's.  My little brother plays guitar in a band (I've totally forgotten their name) that played after you guys.  I almost bought some hot sauce.

[Kim Kelly]

Is that Billy Mitchell's hot sauce?

[Steve of Bloomington]

I like the 'Leif Landed First' shirt.

Everybody (Paul, Frank, and me) but Frank is in FF. Over time, Frank has become a guest MC/audience plant- a loosely-moraled uncle to the "family."

That's so random you actually saw us. Is your brother in Mt. Olympus by any chance? We've played a few show with them and they're amazing. And that hot sauce? It's actually delicious. Our friend Jimi makes it in his apt and when he does there's this visible mist in the air that's slightly irritating to the eyes and skin. The sensation is not all too different from being maced. Delicious mace.

The video reminded me that Hank's Saloon is a dump.

The video reminded me that Hank's Saloon is a dump.

What it lacks in style, cleanliness, and safety, it makes up for with... um....

[Shaggy 2 Grote]

Yeah, that's what they're called, Mt. Olympus.  My brother Rich plays guitar -- he's got long reddish hair.  I liked you guys!
