WE LANDED ON THE MOON!
I think Batman ascended via the rapture. I, too, no longer hear his voice in life.
2x is not cheating, it is prudent time management that allows me to have a life.
I donated not for airconditioning, but hoping they would spend it on internet and bring back some live streamed shows.
I also paid to get you guys to drink....remember, it is ouzzo or a mug of Irish Cream.
Google streetview caught Cioffi's "secret" van. Time to torch it and walk away.

Pedophilia trifecta now in play for the next episode.
Please, nobody make a joke about the "box score."
Good Times!
Pulled off a Rapunzel this morning in Denver btw.
Fantastic Yahoo! Answers bit. The drug mule and spirit animal answers had my dying.
I totally thought this episode was about Giovanni breaking the band The Format.
Dear Giovanni,
You aren't funny.
Sincerely,
Fan of LBFM.
Hey DOT crazy, fuck off, seriously, you're probably just Will.B.iaTCH anyway, and telling a person who's not pursuing comedy that they are not funny is not as offensive as you'd hoped, also you are not a LBfm fan if you hate me or LAX, END OF STORY.
Good good, please don't attempt any jokes on ACP, Giovanni.
Giovanni: "also you are not a LBfm fan if you hate me or LAX, END OF STORY."
Huh. I didn't know that. I guess I'm not allowed to be fan of LBfm then. What a shame. This was my favorite podcast.
And guys, don't pick on Gio. He takes this stuff VERY SERIOUSLY. You'll make him cry.
Well this is one way to get the comments into the double digits. Anyways great episode boys (and Gio). Loved the spirit animals.
I don't hate Seena as a person (I've never met her before) and I don't hate her on AMP (I've never listened to her on the radio) but I just dread her appearances on Low Budget.
If I had to identify Low Budget's Achilles hell it would be repeating jokes, bits and story lines to death:
Yes we know Marc and Cioffi like the trashy Spider Man half-shirts.
Yes we know Seena is capable of doing an imitation of an innocent, clueless girl trying her best to play a little radio with the professionals.
Yes we know Mike likes to gamble and does many illegal activities (I don't think there's been a single episode in the Post-Golden Age Era that this hasn't been mentioned.
I point out these flaws because I love, not because I hate. Seena might work on other shows, but alll she does is lead to the repetition of the tired out jokes and adds nothing when she is on LBFM.
Sounds like your problem is with us, not Seena.
Sounds like he needs to identify a bit more with his spirit animal ... I assume a moose?
Good Ep. Gio was a nice change of pace, and has never claimed to be a comedian. He is a superfan, part archivist, part angry, persecuted nerd.
Now I remember why I stopped commenting(not Craig), nobody was attempting jokes you envious pricks, so shut the fuck up, you probably suck at Excel but nobody here is posting about you should never try to be an accountant, shove it up your ass.
Without me and Lax championing this show through all it's rough waters it probably would've ended(host fatigue etc.), now it's strong enough to carry on without us tooting it's horn at every turn, but yeah if you like this show and started listening recently, shut your fucking mouth and don't type hate here.
I said things that caused Adam to laugh his ass off, "Jimmy James", Cioffi and Chambers, just cause you hate me doesn't take away the fact of what took place in reality, so go back to mommys teets and cry about the mean man you hate but also want the spot of.
Envy truly is sick, especially since I'm not anyone you should envy, and anyone talking shit, anytime, anyplace fucking name it! and do feel free to go send that off to ACE, that shit don't work anymore and makes you look like the pussy you are, now I'm off for good to enjoy the show quietly in reality without the opinion of lesser fans clogging up my vision.
Giovanni - you're being trolled. If you totally ignore everything, people will stop hating, but they know that you'll get pissed and write a long FU back to them. Your reaction is why people troll.
Every time Gio posts a long-winded diatribe I can't help but picture him like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GCdt4AfSqqg
Daaaaaamn lots of Seena bashing by Mister Moose!
1. The show plays like a conversation between 2 or most times 3 friends. Repetition of jokes and punchlines... That happens in life. I don't think we're all claiming to be stand-up comedians but even in stand-up there are repeating themes and jokes. From what I can tell, most listeners enjoy being part of the inside jokes they get from past episodes. #dong
2. I have ONE Spiderman shirt I have worn ONCE to a podcast taping and I own/wear it because I like Spiderman. I'm not really sure where I get that as being "trashy"... Maybe I should start wearing 5 inch clear heels and fishnets to the tapings to class up the joint? It's nice that you're judging something you have not even seen before. Pretty cool. If that was the only reason Marc and Mike liked having me around, WHY would they give me a SPEAKING role on their podcast? I'm sure they would want my mouth used for purposes other than talking...
3. Innocent and clueless? Hahahaha.... That's just funny to me. I don't think anyone has ever referred to me that way. Again, pretty cool. I'm pretty sure that listening to any show I've been on can clearly prove against your "innocent" claim, and that's just me being real.
4. As for your "playing a little radio with professionals" comment... Yes, I completely agree that Marc and Mike are both professionals and I wouldn't be doing this podcast if they weren't. As for me? Honey, I've been in broadcast media for almost 9 years (not to mention I have a University of California degree in the field). I make my living off of "playing radio" and it's going pretty damn well so I think I'm gonna keep doing it, and as long as Marc and Mike keep inviting me to do their show, I think I'll keep doing that as well. :]

So... Bill Cosby, that guy had some funny sweaters, am I right? Am I right? Why do they call it coctail sauce? That stuff doesn't get you drunk at all. What happened when Paul locked the keys in the Beatles van? Ringo couldn't get out. Thank you very much. Please be really generous your waitress.
"Maybe I should start wearing 5 inch clear heels and fishnets to the tapings to class up the joint?"
Yes Seena please, wear clear heels and fishnets! LBFM Corporate, please get back on Stickcam or UStream or JustinTV!
