Party Time. Excellent. [Updated - Again]
Now that I know how to make the camera phone work, I am going to be an unstoppable juggernaut of stupid pictures.
Oh, don't forget about the radio show at three. I'll be on the road at that point, so I won't have to listen to myself be a complete idiot. (Did I mentioned my portion is taped?)
Update: I'd say that radio bit went well.
Don't think I'll be looking for a career on the air anytime soon, eh?
When I called it TWO DICKS and a chick, did you think I was being charming?
Update: Forget to mention for those interested who might have missed it live: the show is available at 5 after the hour every hour for the next 23 hours. Then you can hear again at intervals on the weekend.
According to witnesses, I either a) have no sense of humor; b) am a good actress or c) was completely ambushed in the interview. Or all of the above.
And yes, it was pre-taped, but only because I was on the road at 3:30 today. It wasn't rehearsed, I promise you that.
Plenty more comments on this post.
Update: It's Profanity Bingo!

Electric Schwing? Isn't that a little dangerous?
Oh, I get it. They make vibrators.

I don't have access to streaming audio at this moment (motherfucker).
Look forward to hearing the replay.

I think we should "live comment" the thing... ala PW style!

Nice Accent Michele.

Ew... Tom Delay cooties!

Tom DeLay massaging your feet? Yeah, more likely Stephen Green.

Your not from Long Island are you? (joke) I apologize ahead of time for that.

Bill still gets your goat, don't he?!

Oh my god, so many beeps. You Go GIRL!
Posted by: Shinobi | April 21, 2005 03:53 PM
That was the funniest bit I've heard so far!!!
Posted by: JFH | April 21, 2005 03:54 PM
God, I LOVED every second of that!
You are my idol.

Major F-bombs! Great jorb! see you on TF

That was the funniest thing I've ever heard on Bill & Jeff's show. I realize that's like the argument going on at Treacher's about Gallagher vs. Carrot Top, but there you have it.
And BTW, there's plenty of Republicans, even scary Christian ones, that'll keep your chair set up and the booze coming.

Just came from PW. Really wish I had speakers.

I was wonderign how long it would be before a guest layed the smack down on those two. She did it very thourghally too.
Posted by: Shinobi | April 21, 2005 04:05 PM
bring on the "unstoppable juggernaut of stupid pictures." That first one made me giggle like a schoolgirl.

Hey thanks!
Can I be Gallagher?
And you can be the guy in the front row whose head I bludgeon into rice pudding with my hammer?
Posted by: Bill from INDC | April 21, 2005 04:07 PM
damn, i totally missed it. from the comments, it sounds like some pretty shit happened. ahhhhhh i miss everything.
oh yeah, and welcome to the unstoppable juggernaut of stupid pictures club. i've been a member for over a year now.
Posted by: mikey | April 21, 2005 04:28 PM
Okay.....maybe being from the Midwest and not as nuanced as the two big time bloggers and radio personality wanna-bees, I found your response to the atheist crack (and not an atheist here...probably best described as a confused christian) to be spot on. And before it is said..."That if you think you can do better, grab a mike and get on the air." Hey, I have the pipes, I have the attitude, all I am lacking is the opportunity. But it was either the height of rudeness on their part, or one of the most sophomoric attempts at humor ever. And I will be happy to supply the drinks while you recline in said comfy chair.
Posted by: Guy S. | April 21, 2005 04:34 PM
Bill: when you've done more than 5 shows we'll talk about unreserved praise. You did good this week, now just keep it going.
Posted by: Ian S. | April 21, 2005 04:37 PM

Why not? You've got the "sucks ass" part down already.
Posted by: michele | April 21, 2005 04:39 PM
Definitely looking forward to it this weekend. Tonight, though, there is a higher calling...

Hey, Guy --
Maybe if you kiss her ass a little harder, she'll send you a free signed 8 × 10 glossy.
ANTI-SEMITE!

CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG! (sobbing quietly)
Posted by: JFH | April 21, 2005 05:31 PM
Well, planned or not, I thought it was funny as hell. Its what I would have liked to have seen Bush 41 to do Rather.
Posted by: Matt | April 21, 2005 05:39 PM
Anti-Semite? why that makes the Yiddish in me very confused. And if It wasn't clear enough earlier, I think both gents blogs are good reads...tis the audio portion of their gig that I sometimes wonder about. And I don't agree with Michele on everything (that would be boring if nothing else) but I would at the very least try to be civil about that if I was having a discussion with her.
Posted by: Guy S. | April 21, 2005 05:41 PM
To be clear, I was calling MICHELE the anti-semite, Guy. I was calling you a kiss ass.
And my voice is like an aphrodisiac. STOP THE WORLD AND MELT WITH ME, GUY.
Posted by: Jeff G | April 21, 2005 05:44 PM
That's Mrs. Foul-Mouthed Anti-Semite to you, Mr. GOldstien.
I dunno, though - between the anti-Semitism and the bleeping, don't you think the whole skit was a little derivative of Nixon's tape set (admittedly, you didn't have 18 and 1/2 minutes of silence, but nonetheless.....)
Posted by: jeremy in NYC | April 21, 2005 05:48 PM
Some days I dream of better lives; the kind which never hate.
Oh, well.
Posted by: michele | April 21, 2005 05:49 PM
Actually, I think it was more reminiscent of the Lyndon Johnson tapes, where he buys slacks.
Posted by: michele | April 21, 2005 05:51 PM
Yeah, I suppose - plus Bill's (at least I think it was Bill's) falsetto reminded me of the noise that dog made when ol' LBJ picked it up by the ears.
Posted by: jeremy in NYC | April 21, 2005 05:54 PM
Meld with you sir?....Your voice is like an aphrodisiac?!?! Sheesh, I haven't had an offer like that since I was TDY to Key West. grin....might upset my better half though. In the spirit of "making nice" I will conceed to "peaceful co-existance" vice melding, and your voice sounding like that pesky younger brother...you you put up with because he is your brother vice shudder ahprodisiac.
Posted by: Guy S. | April 21, 2005 05:57 PM
Michele, "You need a little more room in the crotch"?? Sorry, couldn't resist, have heard the tapes they are a riot!
Posted by: Guy S. | April 21, 2005 05:58 PM
Hmm..I left a comment and it's not here. Maybe I didn't submit or something. ANYWAY,
GUYS! Please!
Michele, Couldn't you tell Jeff was joking???? You could have blasted him by joking back. But you weren't joking with the Jew thing and that is unacceptable.
I'm just sorry it went that way.
Posted by: Rightwingsparkle | April 21, 2005 06:20 PM
You left that comment on the other thread, RWS.
Posted by: michele | April 21, 2005 06:22 PM
RWS, I'm pretty positive everyone involved is joking.
Posted by: Karol | April 21, 2005 06:27 PM
Philosophical question: If a comedy routine is so deadpan that nobody gets that it's a put-on, is it still a comedy routine?
Posted by: jeremy in NYC | April 21, 2005 06:27 PM
Karol, I realize that now.
I shoulda known they would become ratings whores...;-)
A regular Jerry Springer and Maury combined.
Sorry about that double post.
Posted by: Rightwingsparkle | April 21, 2005 06:29 PM
I have to admit as a former actress, Michele is pretty damn good.
Posted by: Rightwingsparkle | April 21, 2005 06:30 PM
"f a comedy routine is so deadpan that nobody gets that it's a put-on, is it still a comedy routine?"
Yes.
No.
That depends.

Rent the Office. Or don't, actually. Perhaps Benny Hill might be up your alley.
Posted by: Bill from INDC | April 21, 2005 06:42 PM
I'm so confused.....
All I know is that fake girly voice gave me a headache.
This agnostic says "You (bleeping) RAWK like a (bleeping) (bleeper bleeper), michele!"
Posted by: Trish | April 21, 2005 07:03 PM
Ahhhh so then tongues were in cheeks, boy and I thought my humor was rather arid at times. And as long as there is a significant desplay of "The Hill's Angels" Benny wasn't all that bad grin. Goes back to read his copy of "The Firesign Theater's Big Book of Plays"
Posted by: Guy S. | April 21, 2005 07:18 PM

Now them's fightin' words.
Posted by: jeremy in NYC | April 21, 2005 07:19 PM
Wasn't rehearsed?
C'mon.
Posted by: Dave in Texas | April 21, 2005 07:54 PM
I got to hear it!!! I was dying! Good to hear your voice too!!!
Posted by: carol | April 21, 2005 08:10 PM
I was certainly cheering you along, Michele. If somebody ambushed me that way, I'd said pretty much what you said, only thrown in a few hundred "cocksuckers" as well.
Posted by: ratan | April 21, 2005 08:32 PM

Not a very funny joke.
If a radio host made fun of you for being Catholic, "Oh, I'm a brain dead little Catholic who blindly believes everything the Pope tells me to." I'm sure, or I'd at least hope you'd blast them for it.
Posted by: ratan | April 21, 2005 08:48 PM
Ratan --
Stop. Digging. Now.
Trust me.
Posted by: Jeff G | April 21, 2005 08:51 PM
Did I get the wrong broadcast? Because all I got was an interminable interview with John Cole of Balloon Juice. I'm very sorry that he was so traumatized by the murder of Terri Schiavo -- or the kind, gentle letting go of her in a way respectful of her autonomy and individuality that she surely would have appreciated if she still had a brain; whichever you prefer -- but the scars will heal some day with proper therapy. But I was promised profanity and rude, non-PC jokes. I feel like I've been scammed.
Posted by: Andrea Harris | April 21, 2005 09:27 PM
No, that's the one, Andrea. Not as exciting as a post about dental work, I grant, but we try.
Posted by: Jeff G | April 21, 2005 09:37 PM
Your next show will be about root canals. I can feel it. Don't try to stop it when it happens -- just go with the flow.
Posted by: Andrea Harris | April 21, 2005 09:53 PM
WOW that was a thick New York accent!
Kudos on definitely handling yourself well. I disagree with you on most social issues, but a common thing we share is atheism and it was crap how they piled on you like that and they lose all respect in my eyes for attacking you and by association, my beliefs (or godless lack thereof).
Thanks for the fanservice, Michele. Now we have a voice to put with the humorous face! Wait, that didn't make sense...
Posted by: Martin | April 21, 2005 09:56 PM
fanservice?!?! Boy, I didn't know there was a video portion to the show.
Posted by: Guy S. | April 21, 2005 10:05 PM
Yeah, she came back five minutes later wearing a gold bikini while brandishing a flamethrower and reducing the guys to ashes. Then she winked at the camera and said "Kids, don't do drugs!"
It will be re-aired during the Super Bowl halftime show next year.
Posted by: Martin | April 21, 2005 10:17 PM
Guys! Are you not reading the comments??? They FOOLED US! It was a joke. OK????

It was all a joke? Well played, then. Very well played. The spring pollen must be affecting my BS detector.

God DAMN! I just listened to this. To say you got ambushed is quite the understatement.
Posted by: Farmer Joe | April 21, 2005 11:54 PM
Oops. Guess I should have read the comments before making a comment of my own.

Shit people, she all but let ya'll know what was up a day ahead of time for shits fire. Can ya'll say Simple? And folks ask why I tend to like these people. Some of us read the words... Some of us read the lines. Gobord!

When Jeff offered to mind meld...I knew there was something afoot. (yeah, I'm slow and ride the back of the short bus of life..but then I still hold on to the childlike notion the Cubs will get to the world series in my lifetime.) No, I don't want any waterfront property in Arizona...my brother has first dibs on that.
