It gets Big and Loud today, as Big Jim Willig subs out one Byron Beck and subs in his Big and Loud co-host/comedian/force of nature Don Frost, and it’s at that point the conversational whirlwind touches down and almost never lets up. Jim’s adventures in the actorly realm, and whether he’s getting scammed or not. Don’s adventures in the scamtastic realm, and how he frightened a theater full of Heavy Metal Fans. Frontier Justice: Myna, Nevada style. It involves balloons, re-stabbings, and cops who know just how to get a dumb teenager to cough up a confession. Also – did Kuato haul Don’s trash? And finally, at the end of the show, the entire video game industry is irrevocably revolutionized by the pure gold that comes out of our heads regarding how to fix first person shooters.

The Photocopier Lie Detector thing was also in the first episode of the Homicide TV show, which was fun because you got to watch Richard Belzer yelling at a kid over the top of a photocopier while they pulled that on him.
This episode had me laughing my ass off.
Scam:
I would ask them to have an actor they found work for to call you.
I would also have someone without acting experience go talk to them and see what they say to that person.
In the early 90′s I saw several similar things in the computer software field. You would pay them to do a resume, and they would get it out to their contacts, and you could use it to get a job through someone else; which was nice of them since they weren’t going to find work for you.
Confession from that kind of pressures aren’t ‘legitimate’ confessions, and don’t forget, Lie detectors don’t work.
I used to create custom maps for doom.
I had quake characters associated with process on the UNIX server, If I killed a monster, the process it was associated with would exit.
anyhow..great show, and if the acting thing doesn’t pay out for Jim, I have some fence posts I need installed~
I know someone who got busted for drinking and driving and I had the same idea about using a balloon to fool the breathalyser ignition dealy, but you have to hum as you breath into it.
Did anyone else laugh their ass off when the love interest in AVP: Requiem got pinned to the wall by the Predator’s giant shuriken?
I really want to go to the midnight movie, but I can’t get anyone to go with me.
I would just go by myself but I would have to drive all the way back to Keizer and I don’t have any balloons in the trunk. 
Bobby, I know this probably doesn’t have anything to do with anything that is said in today’s show (I have not listened to it yet) and for all I know you could be talking about it on the Friday show as I type but I JUST WANTED TO KNOW IF YOU WERE AWARE OF THIS?

Be afraid.
Good God; that’s horrifying! The worst part is seeing the sentient mashed potato monster all dressed up.
Cort & Fatboy + Big Jim Willig & Don Frost = Win
Big Jim makes Thursdays my favorite episode of the week. He cracks me up every damn time.
Keep it up dude!
