Episode 15: Been Missing You
Thursday, March 15th, 2007
It’s on people. We’re back with a vengeance and in this power-packed episode we were so eager to be back that it was hard to stop. This week we discuss the Academy Awards, how Ellen did as host (rocked it), and the ridiculously long pre shows. Marty shares how he is going to handle being on the red carpet someday and his ideas on fashion.
Then we delve into the unfairness of comedians and their complete lack of awards or even nominations - Eddie Murphy was robbed!! And Jim Carrey where ever you are, The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine were amazing and you deserved a lot more credit than was received.
Dreamgirls is discussed, Bill Cosby and his impeccable storytelling, and our wish to see Eddie Murphy back on the stand-up stage.
Richard Jeni, the tragedy, how much joy he brought to people, and how he will be missed. Truly sad.
Celebrity sitings we’ve had living in NYC:
The Starbucks caffeine crew Marty served: RuPaul, Olsen Twins, the shy Mike Myers (leave him alone people!), Ron Howard, and Philip Seymour Hoffman (I hope I spelled that right).
Marty has served as a waiter: Jon Bon Jovi, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Hugh Grant, Bruce Willis, Sidney Poitier, John Cleese, William Goldman, and most recently Gwynenth Paltrow and Chris Martin (who we will now and forever refer to as Chris Coldplay).
Wendy saw each day at work: Claire Danes and her adorable dog.
Ok people, rule number 1 is: DON’T BE A STAR FUCKER. It’s just tacky and sad. We discuss the unruly fans Marty has had to deal with and the ninja who sneaked past him to harass Chris Coldplay. Here’s your sign dude.
Did you know that Tom Cruise pays his personal trianer a million dollars a year?! Crazy.
Wendy’s Shape magazine mystery. Ok, someone fess up already!! Marty gets some fitness advice from good friend Nicoye Banks and gets his ass kicked.
