Strangers, Horrifying Imagery and the Dao De Jing

Do girls hit on guys in public? What would Tod do if his woman got hit by a truck? Plus: cartoony movies, George Clooney, Tod's Travolta impression, insights into religion and much more.

I'd like to point out an embarrassing error made in this episode. I refer to "Executive Decision-era John Travolta." As any discerning movie connoisseur would know, Travolta was actually in Broken Arrow, which was promoted using an almost identical poster.

Broken Arrow had one good thing, and that is Sammantha Mathis. Though the years have not been kind to her, she was 'banging' then.

Now I have inapropriate 'leather'. This is bad.

Any chance of tonights record session being shown on Stickam? If not...why couldn't you just record somewhere warm, like your kitchen? I have a feeling that you actually live in the barn - like Tod lives in his garage. Salwin just hands upside down in a closet with blaring industrial music at a vampire/s&m club that doubles as a birth party rental room during the day - which I have heard has lead to some disturbing situations when he rolls out late and a party is in progress.

I knew Samatha Mathis's half-sister, Summer. While Samantha was playing the role of Princess Daisy in Super Mario Bros, her half-sister got to be an extra, and she got to dance with some old, sweaty Italian dude. This may have helped pave the way for my own extra work in Sorority Boys, Boston Public, and Crossroads. Or it may have had nothing to do with it.

You were in sorority boys John, not the dildo fight scene?
You were on Boston Public not the dildo fight ep though right?

John is famous!

I have only been an extra in an episode of 21 Jump Street (Depp years) when it filmed in my high school. I did slam a door into Steven Williams while tearing ass to get to Industrial Ed that probably caught him in the sack. But you have seen my handiwork, construction wise, in movies like Disturbing Behaviour and the Stargate series. I also almost ran over Winona Ryder, she has a strong freeze reflex, when she was filming Little Women.

In fact, on the set of DB I became left handed after a half empty 10 gallon bucket of paint fell on me from the top of some scaffolding - al the more fun since I was an under the table off book (non union) worker. That was a huge mess. I managed to get friendly with Katie Holmes though, this was after Creek had filmed but before it premiered. I tried like hell, but ultimately was beaten by her local boyfriend...Pacey. She was a nice formerly Catholic girl at the time. If I had played things *just* right I could have dated her just long enough to potentially hook up with Busy Phillips.

Gio, you seem to know an awful lot of movies or TV scenes with dildos. Do you have anything you want to share?

I still think it is funny to imagine John, slightly out of it, stumbling through a pretty pink princess birthday party, trying to get to the bathroom before he yaks...possibly punching a clown that gets up in his face.

hey there was no u in the behavior for the american release of the film lax, how dare you try and Canada that shit up.

December 9, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterGiovanni G.

Hey Lax Sorority boys has a scene in which men battle with double ended spear like dongs, it's the only part of the film that I remember as being oddly unique, not the most original film to say the least.
I have never seen an entire ep of Boston Public but I was making a joke, if the show actually had a dildo fight then I'm baffled.

Going back to John's post about "Super Mario Brothers" what the fuck man, that movie is nuts, it's insane, not good and not at all like the game, they made a strange fucking movie, did the people making it know how bizarre it was and how unlikely it's odds at success were?
Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo as Mario and Luigi, WTF man?

December 9, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterpatty slappa

EFF it i dont care

December 9, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterpatty slappa

Wow, I'd forgotten all about rotten.com. Disturbing images for true.

LAX, were you one of the guys that walk around the lot, seemingly with nothing to do and nowhere to be, in cargo shorts and shoes with no socks, usually unshaven, holding a huge cup of coffee?

Those guys seem to have the life.

I would like to hear an entire ep where Tod is on peyote or some other mind altering substance (LSD, shrooms, etc) just to hear the epiphanies he has. I dont think marc should be involved in this 'experiment' (ie. partake in the drug use) for i fear he may suffer some sort of nervous breakdown on the air. Salwin could be involved and when he starts speaking in fluent german my suspicions will be confirmed. This has the makings of an epic LBFM episode. Take one for the team, Tod Perry!!

Monkey, car lot or movie lot? On the car lot I would show up at closing, check the vault with who ever was closing, do a check of all the doors, and then hunker down. Had an 8 key patrol clock that I had to wind with one of 8 different keys that were stationed on the corners of the lot, and building in the middle of the lot. Had to do that once an hour, which took about 30 minutes, I would tend to run it and get it done much faster so I could take a nap or cook. Of course when I ran it it defeated the point, I was moving too fast to really see anyone and would make enough noise to warn anyone.

On film or TV I was usually called in when they were in a mad panic and was doing the job of 4 others, in full work gear and tool belt - but I did have my share of down time talking to the teamsters driving the trucks owned by the one precenters (aka bike gangs). To this day they are still the biggest pushers on the lot, you just have to look for the right sticker on the truck, they can also hook you up with a hooker.

Polly (Pretty, Pretty Pollyanna - so says The Kinks)

Nice suggestion. But I'm not sure whether the psychedelic experience will translate on the podcast. Tripping the light fantastic with Mr. Electric Potato Skins and the Swiss Miss Comic High Diving Team is more of a visual bit I feel. But I like where your head is.

What about an Ambien Olympics episode? Of course someone would have to be the sober broadcaster. Maybe you could borrow Gabe - because it has to be Marc & Salwin v Tod & Cioffi. I gather that Tod and John are heavy weights, so they have to double up which is why they are on separate teams.

December 10, 2009 | Unregistered Commenterlaxdude

I might not have much experience with Ambien, but I get the feeling that Tod and I would crush the other team, and I don't even know what that would entail exactly. Not passing out is the brightline here?

December 11, 2009 | Unregistered Commentercioffi

Yeah Cioffi it's something that Jeff Probst and the "survivor" crew do to pass time while on location, some of the activities include things like spinning around in a circle with your head on a baseball bat then they get worse from there, he talked about it on Loveline back in the day.

If you're going to do a drug themed show and not fake it I say do something original, maybe tranq Marc secretly so he has no idea, slip a roofie in his beer then watch the magic happen.

December 12, 2009 | Unregistered CommenterGiovanni G.

I think maybe we can just do it old school. Possibly members of the show could go face to face with shots like in Raiders of the Lost Ark. Just go shot for shoe 'til one person falls off the Raiders chair and onto the barn floor.

Sorry, but I can't leave the comments at 19.
