Whats up regulators--
I slacked a little with updates last week so here's a collection of quick odds and ends.
The weekend before last, Jim organized a Wiffleball Family Fun day to benefit the ChiChi's Foundation. Of course, when it comes to Jim and wiffleball, a game never ends up being just a game. And the final game of the day turned out to be less of a lighthearted event, and more of a metaphor for the Youthful Underdog defeating the Evil Empire. Or something like that. Basically a bunch of cute little kids beat a team of twenty-something, non-shirtwearing, wiffle-ball obsessed meatheads. Picture of the kids celebrating is below.
And though Jim certainly understood the spirit of the day, that's not to say he doesn't still take his wiffleball seriously! Evidence of that follows:

Also last week SNL-er Darrell Hammond hung out in studio. He and Jim reminisced about their awesomely loud-mouthed colleague Norm MacDonald. Darrell is currently starring in "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" on Broadway; so if you get to NYC, check it out. He's an awesome guy and the play is supposed to be great.
Following is one of the least flattering photos of a human being I've ever seen in my life (Larry sent it to me with the message "Darrell kind of looks like a murderer in this" and I have to agree). But anyway, for your interest and/or amusement, here's Darrell in studio.

As of more recently, while Breu is off cavorting with Larry the Cable Guy on his insane sounding Christmas Special, Pete got the chance to interview one of his heroes in Breuer's stead. And that hero is none other than the one and only Diceman, Andrew Dice Clay. It all began innocently enough, with Pete betting that Dice couldn't identify a cigarette only by putting it in his mouth (because for the record; Andrew Dice Clay is not a smoker. He sucks on unlit cigarettes because he "likes the taste and gets them for free". His words, not mine.) The challenge proved to be child's play for Dice, and he soon found a new distraction in Nicole from Sirius Hits 1, who made the mistake of innocently stolling by the studio window. He hit on her and took the piss out of Pete for the better part of an hour. What more can you ask for from a guest, really?
The following day, we found out he'd been calling Nicole relentlessly and decided to stage a little intervention. Dice called us from a NYC diner, spoke to Nicole's dad (and won his approval... kind of), all while standing in an inlet and opening doors for diner patrons. Say what you will about Andrew Dice Clay and his act, but the man's got some class.

Other stuff--
Ben Bailey of Discovery's "Cash Cab" will be hanging with Pete again on Wednesday (8th) and Thursday (9th). Mike Weingartner (title-holder for some of the best Comedy Covers of all time) and comedian Gary Gulman (think Tourgasm... and spitting on an audience member) will be chilling in studio on Friday.
Screw Dane Cook and his precious MySpace title. Saddle up Regulators, Pete Correale for MySpace President! Add him here.
RedCloud's awesome video of a PowWow-
And to round it out, one last atrocious photo of one of our absolute favorite guests. Why not. Judah Friedlander from 30 Rock, yawning (speaking? pulling his face in disgust? doing a Mick Jagger impression? I haven't the slightest...) from a few weeks back, chilling in good old studio 21.
Until next time--
Montana
