New B.S. Report again featuring a breakdown of the "Jersey Shore" franchise courtesy of Bill Simmons & "Reality Czar" Dave Jacoby.
# of times I have seen an actual episode of MTV's "Jersey Shore": 0.
# of times I have listened to an entire B.S. Report podcast devoted to a meticulous dissection of "Jersey Shore" plot and cast members: I don't know exactly but it's got to be around at least 4 episodes now.
I suppose it's a testament to my Simmons fandom that I actually find entertaining 2 people conversing about a show that I've never actually seen.
A similar situation occurred with me listening to a recent (11/17/09) B.S. Report podcast in which he interviews "Super Dave" Osborne about his recurring role on HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm." I don't get HBO and therefore I haven't seen any of the new episodes. However during the interview they talk extensively about a scene in the season finale of the show during which Dave's character Marty Funkhouser ad-libs a dirty joke to Jerry Seinfeld. In this particular episode of the B.S. Report, Dave Osborne and Bill Simmons discuss "The Dirty Joke" for about 15 minutes, without actually saying what the joke is! It was like the "snow creature" scene in the original "Empire Strikes Back"--you don't actually see the snow creature so your mind is forced to envision what it looks like. Anyways, I finally did track down "The Dirty Joke" on You Tube and figured out what they were talking about, and due to the adult content of the joke there's no way he would have been able to describe the joke adequately. But I have to admit that since I don't watch a lot of TV, a decent chunk of my pop culture exposure comes from the B.S. Report.
