Who Wants To Be A Reality TV Star?
Tod's working on getting his wedding onto a reality TV show, but he's unsure about whether that's a good thing. Marc went through the audition process for Beauty & The Geek and knows exactly what he would do. Plus: the Low Budget FM reality show.

Tod, my son. Do not worry about earthly celebrations like weddings. All your work on earth is simply preparation for the rewards you shall receive in Heaven. All the Crystal, ice carved swan stautes and killer whales one human soul could possibly handle await you. In Heaven you can ride a magical orca unicorn into deep space and link up with the Milenium Falcon while smokin SHIT LOADS of purple stank and tossing back 40's with your friend Drunk C.
However you and Princess Perry (a JEW) have been living in sin now for quite some time and, as a subscriber to you 'podcast,' you frequently curse, take my name in vain and kill interns. So cancel all of the above. You'll be rotting in the depths of Hell with that filthy pedophile Marc Chambers and your degenerate gambling friend Mike Cioffi. John Salwin, a dutiful Nazi, will be sitting at my right hand, reveling in all the glory bestowed upon loyal National Socialists.
good luck with all that.
GOD
LBFM Live sounds great..... in Seattle
Sorry guys, but I'm part of the Seattle-division of the LBFM Coast Guard, not LA
A live LBR show in a bar (or whereever) would be great! But why not also include your long distance friends too (on that night)?! What about a pay per view? And for those that can't watch live can download it later for the same price!
I'd pay $7 for the pay per view!
And Tod, Marc is right. Fun weddings are memorable weddings for all. 50 years from now, you and Princess Perry will look back and smile. Well, except for the part where Marc is running around naked, proposing to the Mrs Perry.
Tod, you have my sympathy. Two weeks ago I asked my lady to become "Mrs. Andy From Boston."
We once had a coffee table. Now there's just a mound of 700-page magazines, all filled with pictures of $5,000 dresses.
If some producers wanted to cut us a check, I'd have a hard time saying no, even if it ended up being a "To Catch A Predator" themed wedding.
How about a Low Budget Wedding? We could have King Dong officiate the ceremony??
Low Budget Wedding Podtacular sponsored by Hite.
If it sucks, assume Seena was the wedding planner.
Just elope. Tell her you will convert, but only on the condition you elope.
Elope, then throw a really big party, spend a fraction, and pay off that mortgage.
Now on to reality TV show, the wife qualified for a call back for the real producers on Canadian Idol, and got a ticket to Toronto, which just does not have the appeal of Hollywood. She never went, it would have taken too much time from her job.
Marc, still not seeing that bonus content about the spider couch, can you kick the server?
Tod & future Mrs. Tod:
I have friends who got married in their backyard. They had a beautiful ceremony and party for likely under $2,500. Another couple I know threw a $100,000 extravaganza at the Beverly Hills Hotel. (They spent $20k just on flowers.) Both couples are just as married. My wedding was much closer to the $2,500 variety. Married at the church I've attended forever, a nice reception at a local family-owned Italian joint. My wife borrowed her dress from a friend, half the flowers in her bouquet were from my mom's backyard. I'll be celebrating my 13th anniversary next week. Listen to Laxdude and me. Save that money for something really important, like paying your mortgage, setting up college funds for the kids (assuming) or seeding your retirement fund . For God's sake, don't borrow to finance the thing. To finish my unsolicited advice, focus on the marriage not the wedding.
LBfm crew:
What would I like in a LBfm live event? Hites in the barn! It'd be cool watching a live recording, hanging out afterward and shooting the shit with you guys and other listeners. A bar would be a second choice as a venue. I'd prefer more of a meet-n-greet than watching a "performance."
Whatever you decide, you'll see me there.
Oh yeah, the live event. I can't have anything to do with it. It would be much harder to say if it was in my city/province/country - I am perfectly happy with my level of involvement with the show.
That being said, I just wonder if certain people will be invited, knowing how certain fans might react to certain people. And that is ALL I am going to say.
I think the Hite is required. Note that you can probably have it arraigned to be brought in on tap for a big enough event, or in cases if you can't guarantee a high enough attendance. I think you at least need to have a couple of cases on hand.
"That being said, I just wonder if certain people will be invited, knowing how certain fans might react to certain people. And that is ALL I am going to say."
Listen laxdude, my love and admiration for Tod is PERFECTLY normal, plenty of people have a locket of hair from their favorite podcaster! And if you're going to alude to me in your post, JUST SAY IT!
It took me 12 hours to figure out (or at least make a guess at) what the hell Laxdude was alluding to in his cryptic post. I assume Alzheimer’s is setting in… I wonder, is that a viable defense for removing Randy Wang’s head at a listener party?
I just figured laxdude was referring to Tod. I for one fully support inviting Tod, as he has become a vital part of the show, almost as important as Marc or John.
Unless he was referring to the Jews or the blacks, in which case he should be ashamed of himself.
Dear LBFM Coast Guard,
Andy - My television set is also blocked by stacks of bridal magazines.
Polly - the idea of a magical orca unicorn made me sleep soundly last night.
Monkey - I couldn't agree with you more. Gotta pay it in CA$h!
Charles - If you have some of my hair, as part of the Perry Follicle Re-Collection project I will handsomely pay for each piece.
Derek - Eat my shorts.
Wow. Derek, thanks for reminding me that we all hate Tod, or at least pick on him. We need to start doing that again!
Monkeypants, you went all out on the wedding. I doubt our wedding total got that high even with the airfare, mind you it wasn't exactly a planned marriage - we had only been engaged officially a couple of weeks.
In order to save money, I am also willing to do a joint wedding with The Half-Ton Man and Proteus Leg Woman.
Hey i thought i was the only one with a lock of Tod Perry's hair! The seller on Ebay said it was a 'one of a kind' What a goddamm ripoff. I have it in a lighted glass display case hung on my wall, right next to a swatch of Marc's flannel shirt, a piece of the Berlin Wall, some moon rocks and Salwin's Iron Cross and Jack Boots.
Thats the last time i ever buy a piece of 'celebrity memorabilia' on Ebay.
LAX:
We also had a long engagement. 3 weeks from "Let's get married." to "I do."
I like that. I don't walk out to the driveway one morning, say "I should buy a new car" and then actually make the purchase two years later. I have the idea, I execute shortly thereafter. I can't imagine staying engaged forever.
But marriage and engagement aren't about the dude. They're about the lady. And since I'm so selfish, that means I'll have none of it.
And that, Ladies and Gentlemen, ends the discussion.
Thanks Marc.
