My first thought was, "What the fuck? Cioffi has a dead wife?"

I've pulled off this move, you have to get the girl interested then back way off - even dating other people. If she's interested, this will get her motivated to start making moves, otherwise she'll just enjoy the status quo of attention and infatuation from both you and her guy

I've given it some thought and all you need is a candy bar, a stirdy wooden box, a stick, and some friends with some pull (or at least access to the cargo bay) at NASA. You may want to work on growing a twirly mustache and a solid sinister laugh as well.

Damned lack of an "edit" button. Simply "a NASA maintenance uniform" would have worked much better.

If you had a submarine, this wouldn't be an issue.

Yeah, but does Rebecca have Bassett Hounds? I like you so much I wish I can make a few calls to some “friends” to make Rebecca’s b-friend go away, but my Jitterbug is very limited.

If her boyfriend is such a douche nozzle, their time is limited – continue to be yourself and she will fall for you (like I have) :-)

get his number and call him til he is angry then he will come after you a nd she break up with him

I believe the best tactic here is infecting her beau with an AIDS infected needle and then wait for her to choose. No one wants the AIDS, it can't even kill you anymore.

I can get you street quality AIDS, low prices.

I have been in a similar situation, just replace 'podcast' with 'lacrosse', except in my case the other guy was a team mate of mine...and he was married to the woman...had 2 kids...and they were both *very* Catholic.

I think it is best to just walk away. Tell your friends in common that you just can't be around her, telling them why. Maybe it gets back to her, maybe the friends think he is an ass too and will work on your behalf.

Just live your life, if you are lucky it just happens. Get your friends in common to sign you up for a google news alert for when she breaks up, then you lay your cards down when it comes if you are in a relationship void of your own (which since you are a man that plays the odds is pretty likely).

To run with the honest advice that people are throwing around here, I would agree with what seems to be the consensus. Run for your life dude. I imagine that if things change and she becomes free and wants to pursue it at that point she can get ahold of you, and maybe you not being around for a while may trigger something. In the meantime though it sounds like you're just stuck in a loop that may honestly never end. Sorry man.

Have a great 4th guys and happy 302.

Cioffi's predicament reminds me of my own "Aimee Claire" situation from 2005, if you don't make your move or somehow make it abundantly clear it will haunt you for years.
Can you fight this dude Cioffi?
He didn't try to fight you at the BBQ and kinda approached you like a pussy, he's probably intimidated you should use that to gain the upper hand and make him act like a bitch around you when she's present, that'll go a long way.

He's not a fan of the show huh? how about me and Lax come pay a visit to the barn, while were in town we could say hello to this gentleman for you, how does that sound?

This was a very strong ep, Cioffi was still secretive and weird but far more open then he usually is, nice work Cioffi, Marc was good too at eliciting this great content and filling in the gaps of the story.

Thinking about this ep more, the fact he freaked out and threw a fit while driving home was the best thing that could've ever happened, he doesn't even realize how much he exposed himself with that, he was planting seeds in her brain that you could never hope to on your own, this guy buried himself by doing that.
There is no way she'll ever forget him throwing a fit and whining about you at her while driving home, the fact you were the source of his anger,envy,fear only makes you seem more pleasant as well as masculine.

Mickey hosts a great show Tom, stop insulting it and his boobs are almost nonexistent so knock it off you twat.

Don't do it Cioffi, walk away bro. You'll be labeled a "home-wrecker" and no dude will trust you around their girlfriends ever again. Trust me. The "Having-fun-all-the-time-but-never-gets-laid-Cioffi" sounds much better than "Home-wrecker Cioffi" and you'll be happier in the end.

Peace.

You should hire Thomas to bake an erotic cake and then use it to violently penetrate him. In these situations, action is always better than non-action.

You know its a rough week when the "let's build a submarine" show was the best one.

I don't know Craig this one was remarkable, the sub ep was great but this had a unique energy and was very informative, not since the ol' TP era have I heard such shocking honesty on this show.
Cioffi has huger balls than The Seena has ever imagined especially after he revealed Becker and TomTom were aware of Lbfm.

Nice work guys.

I think I agree with Marc now Cioffi, this fucker has done all your work for you, he made himself seem like a whiny little baby in front of her then made her the brunt of all his anger he felt after meeting you and realizing his inferiority.
Keep your distance and stay aloof, let him further work against his own relationship and create an "opening" for you to throw your dong through.

I'm going INSANE trying to figure out if this is all real or if the boys are gaslighting me (us) again. If this is a ruse, you guys fucking sold it. You are masters... I no longer know which end is up. (Maybe those interns really did... oh God, I can't even complete the thought.)

I'm with Monkeypants, is this real? Your radio voices are so real, it started sounding like a fake story.

This was great and everything but I really want to hear Getting To Know Cioffi unless you think it was terrible.

mm... then why not just make him an intern? and get him to peel some fruit for tod

Cioffi, if you manage to steal this woman, how long before you wonder if she'll leave you too. I mean, if she can just casually end a 3-year relationship with a dude she moved halfway across the country with, I bet she'd be willing to do the same to you much earlier. Stay away from this one.

Mike Cioffi has a social life? Holy shit.

Awesome show. Glad to know that Mike is at least marginally human. I think the question needs to be asked, "Why does Mike Cioffi want to date a woman who dates douchebags?" I think you should destroy Thomas solely on the grounds of his douchebaggery. Or at least refuse to produce his podcast. Justice must be served.

"I don't know that it's ever right to end someone's relationship, but I'm okay with it." -- Marc Chambers

Actually, I think ending people's relationships is pretty awesome. People are morons, and if their relationships are so destructible in the first place, consider it doing God's work.
