The Horrible Things One Will Do to Save Money

We've all got our limits. Some of us will go much further than others in an attempt to save a few bucks. But just how far will you push those limits?

i think this might be my favorite episode.

you must go through poo to save $800. no question

Tod, by going to a bridal expo your wedding increased, well, just add a zero onto everything. The only way to counter this is to calculate, exactly, how much you save (in the long run) by paying your mortgage off sooner. This is assuming that you do not go into debt to have the wedding. In that case you must calculate how much that wedding widget really costs after compounding interest and add it to how much you could save by paying off early.

It is hard, but you must attack her with logic. I have known people who were still paying off their wedding when they got divorced.

The method to stool recovery is. 1) crap into a bag and tie off. 2) Squish contents of a bag from outside with external manipulation. 3) if you do not feel the tooth, dispose of the bag. 4) repeat until you find the tooth. Might I suggest you at least double bag, with quality kitchen sized bags.

And c'mon people. It's just shit!

Now you probably all think I am some sort of a shit enthusiast.

Of course Princess Marc would not recover the crown, because he is impetuous and frivolous with money. That is why you got out of your iPhone contract early to jump to the Palm Pre. It is why you are crying poverty now.

I'm just imagining Sarah using a jewelers loupe as she dissects a turd.

This whole situation could have been avoided if Tod and Sarah only knew about a little substance called ipecac. No digging through poop, no arguments over getting a new crown vs. making a new one based on the old one.

I took an 400 dollar dump one time, lets just say I slipped and fell onto my Iphone.

this ep is up there in 'grotesqueness' with the march chambers having sex with a girl while on her period and the resulting bloodbath ep. Since that ep everytime i picture marc i see Carrie with that horrified look on her face, drenched in blood. But he's naked instead of in a prom gown **douche chills!**

I have this mental disorder (among many others) where when someone tells a story i get a moving, color picure of it in my mind. Just the other day i looked at Tod's pics on his facebook of he and Princess Perry. Now i just picture her squatting over a pyrex cake dish, dropping a duce in the living room while Tod stands in the backround with giant, elbow length yellow rubber gloves preparing to go gold panning . What the hell is going on in Lakewood???!!!

I'm tempted to give Marc's google number to Capitol One :)

MARC, TOD: My wife works in a dentist's office as a dental assistant (the person who assists the dentist during procedure, such as crown fittings). This is a VERY common experience. If you bring them a baggy holding a crown that has been pooped out, they will put on a glove, take the bag from you, and put it IMMEDIATELY into the bio-hazard waste bin. They will not put something back into your mouth that has been in contact with such extreme contamination. If you tell them that it fell out into her mouth, she caught it and spit it out, they MIGHT put it back in.

Don't be surprised if they refuse to re-install an old crown though.

January 19, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCharles

Regardless of what Charles said, that crown needs to go back in the mouth of Princess Perry. After such an ordeal it would be slap in the face to throw that precious crown away.

If this is not possible perhaps the crown could be pawned or sold in the LBR store.

P.S. I'm not trying to be a prick but is it possible to sell exclusive content through the website? I can not buy Apple products because of a contractual obligation.

P.P.S. Is there a way in which low budget laboratories could create a DeMarco bot 2000 portable wingman? I'm sure there are licensing and intellectual property rights issues but I could really use the insight. Using that same line of thought I could benefit from a Cioffi bot for some betting during the upcoming nfc and afc championship games. I however, would fear for my own safety if the bot were to make bad predictions and as a result go on a murdering spree.

Jaime: "I can not buy Apple products because of a contractual obligation"

What? What company would prevent you from owning an Apple unit? I can imagine Apple would try to prevent someone from owning an MS item or something, but what company would prevent someone from owning an Apple item?

January 19, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCharles

Charles,
I'm not at liberty to disclose that information. It is safer for us to not discuss this anymore.

January 19, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJaime

I'm betting Jamie is Michael Jordan and that lucrative Nike contract has some weird Apple clause.

January 19, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterFreddyT

I don't buy apple products either. No contract, they just suck.

January 19, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterCK

FreddyT you got close to it. Let's just say after last week's podcasts I'm scared of tall, lanky, white, podcasters.

January 19, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJaime

Ah. So Jamie has a really low Passer Rating.

January 20, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterFreddyT

Lets just say my passer rating is lower than most players that throw in the Wild Cat.

January 20, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterJaime

I would do it, only if I knew the exact process the dentist went through to clean the crown, otherwise, no dice!

Listened to this ep on Sunday walking three blocks back from Vons through the POURING rain and wind here in SoCal. My car was broken, and LBfm was my only companion. I usually hate "gross out" humor but the way Marc and Tod handled it was absolutely CLASSIC.

Tod's description of the bridal expo (I see those signs everywhere and wondered what they were actually like) and his "stalking" of the possible ex-Raider were hilarious as well.

I literally fell down three times laughing so hard I lost my balance and slipped or got pushed down by the wind. I got back to my apartment literally drenched from head to toe, but then I realized at least I didn't have to dig through my own feces to retrieve a dental implement and I laughed allllllllll over again...

I meant MONDAY morning. I, sadly, do not have access to the episodes in advance. Or a time machine. Bummer on both fronts.

January 20, 2010 | Unregistered CommenterScott

I simply cannot comprehend...why did she not just induce vomiting??? It seems as though it would be the more preferable alternative....as opposed to digging through poo, that is.
