Louis “Twitchels” Centanni rejoins Alex for part two of their interview.  Why a part two?  Because Louis had to take care of some other stuff so the first interview was cut short.  You would think these are the Frost/Nixon

tapes or that either one of them have actually accomplished something in their careers.

Louis explains how he got the nickname Twitchels on season 3 of The Simple Life with Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.

Alex notices that Louis’ tourettes ticks are a lot worse during this interview than the previous conversation.  They talk about Louis’ use of Marijuana to help common his tourettes and what its like to be an open user of an illegal drug.

Alex talks about how Twitchels’ 21st birthday party involved a wrestling card in his backyard featuring King Kong Bundy, Tito Santana, and Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka.  The guys talk about what it was like to see Snuka walking around smoking cigarettes and missing all of his teeth.  Tito Santana also tried to rip-off Louis, but King Kong Bundy confronted Tito and got Louis’ money back.

Louis tells a surprising story of how he tried to commit suicide and hang himself from his bed when he was fourteen, but he was so large at the time that the bed board snapped.  It was a situation that was joked about within his family and then never brought up again.

Louis tells us what he has been up to with his comedy and movie career.

This special episode of The Alex Show features an interview with long-time friend, Louis Centanni.  Louis known all over the world as Twitchels, the comedian with Tourettes, had been featured on MTV, the Opie and Anthony show, and the Scotty and Alex radio program.

The guys start off the show talking about how its been well over a year since they last talked.  Alex felt that since it had been such a long time and that Louis had never made an appearance on the podcast, that they should start at the beginning from the first time they met.

Twitchels tells the story of how he first found fame by making an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno doing his “belly-ball” act.  This act developed after Louis had peaked at three hundred pounds because of the side effects of the medication he took to control his tourettes.  After he graduated from high school, Centanni made the decision to take himself off the different medications and he quickly dropped the weight.  However, he was left with a large amount of skin flab that hangs over his waist.  The act involved Louis holding a wiffle ball bat with his flab and hitting a ball off a baseball tee.

Twitchels talks about how he was bumped the night he was scheduled on The Tonight Show for Ben Stiller and Vince Vaughn promoting Dodgeball.

This was the act that was performed during Twitchels first appearance on The Scotty and Alex Show.  Alex loved the total package that Twitchels brought to the show.  His energy, his personality, and his tourettes.

A few months after his appearance, Louis started to get booked on the Opie and Anthony radio show that helped his career take off.  Louis talked about his last appearance that happened over a year ago, which was preceded by a night sleeping on former Saturday Night Live cast member Colin Quinn’s couch.

The interview was cut short but will be picked up in the next podcast.

The Alex Show is off to a late start, because of a carbon monoxide scare in his studio (home).  About three minutes before the show was suppose to start at its regularly scheduled time of 10pm on Thursdays, all the alarms in the house started to buzz.  Alex aired out the house and waited, and waited, and waited.  Finally he called the fire department so they could figure out the problem.  Of course, the alarms stopped buzzing as soon as the fire truck pulled up to the house.  Alex is completely flustered…

Alex talked about the weird scenarios surrounding the almost perfect game for Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga.  With one out away in the bottom of the ninth, the first base ump blew a call that cost Galarraga the perfect game.  The runner was clearly out.  The ump apologized after the game, but Alex disagreed with the idea of MLB commissioner Bud Selig overturning the call.  The moment was then and that moment has passed.

Ken Griffey Jr. retired and Alex told a great story of Griffey making fun of a fan at a Veterans Stadium in Philadelphia.  He was possibly the greatest “clean” baseball player in the past 50 years.

The Alex Show has its first guest ever and its comedian Dan Boulger.  Alex came across Dan’s comedy when he was using StumbleUpon.com (Alex’s StumbleUpon profile).  Alex loved his style and thought it was one of the best five minute acts he’s seen in a long time.  Alex talks to Dan about what it was like winning the 2006 Boston Comedy Festival and how he quit college the very next day. (Check out Dan’s Winning Set)

Dan and Alex also talk about the impact of the internet on comedy and is it hard to keep things fresh on stage.  Dan talks about dealing with hecklers and that his demeanor on stage normally keeps people off guard.

Alex talks about how is trying to get back into shape, mostly to win a free t-shirt.
He told a story of how he went running at dusk and kept getting freaked out about running into wild animals or dogs.  Alex was so jumpy that when a rap song came on he freaked out and mashed-up two curse words together. (too explicit here)

When you actually hear people talk it makes you not want to like them anymore.  Facebook CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, made a statement about the recent privacy concerns and he sounded like a big wiener.  Alex was really disappointed when he first heard ESPN’s Bill Simmons do his podcast because he sounded so wimpy.

Alex takes a few calls from some old fans of the “Scotty and Alex” show.

The returns to discuss the endings of 24, Lost, and American Idol.  Make sure you check out the newest episode of “It Could Be Worse…Lost”

Alex admits that he he a bandwagon Philadelphia Flyers fan.  He has barely watched any of the playoffs and probably wont watch much of the Stanley Cup, but he normally gets a couple of highlights in the morning and than spouts them off as if he knows whats going on.

There was an article that came out right before the show started that talked about Boston turning into the “City of Chokers” with the Celtics losing two games in a row after going up 3-0 on the Orlando Magic.  Alex wondered if it was karma for the Red Sox beating the Yankees in the 2004 playoffs which, without a doubt, is the greatest comeback in the history of sports.

Alex ends the show talking about the oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico and how BP and the brilliant scientist that work there have turned to actor Kevin Costner because he has invested over $40 million over the past 15 years to create something that would separate oil from sea water…Kevin Costner.

“It Could Be Worse…” on Mevio

The Alex Show is live on Ustream.tv, the home of Darnell Dockett’s wiener.  Arizona Cardinals defensive tackle Darnell Dockett showered live and exposed himself on his Ustream.tv show to win a $1,000 bet.  This is a millionaire, a professional football millionaire…idiot. [More]

Alex shares a dirty little secret to everyone, he didn’t shower.  Normally he would get very paranoid about his stench, but today he took it has a victory over everyone around him.  Sounds like someone has issues.

TheAlexShow.com has blown up after the posting of the “Nope” Lebron James shirt that could be seen on Celtics home game.  Also, Alex got some exclusive shots of the new “Tragic” Dwight Howard shirts, but was asked to take them down.

Cleveland Cavalier Delonte West allegedly had sex with Lebron James’ mom.  This is the guy who was riding around on a motorcycle with a SHOTGUN in the beginning of the season!  I wonder if he was coming back from her house. [More]

Sports talk show hosts are really corny.  Using the cliches “sour grapes” and comparing players to “cans of corn” is just brutal.

Lovaza is a new drug that lists burping as a side effect.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey is one of Alex’s favorite shows.  He can’t believe the words he they can get away with…too explicit for description (you’ll have to listen to find out)

Alex has a great vision of what The Alex Show podcast could be like.  Producers and people behind the scenes could transform EVERYTHING.

Paramount Pictures says that they would not bring back Megan Fox for Transformers 3.  Megan Fox says that she didn’t want to continue.  Alex believes Megan Fox, and who would argue.

Former Tour de France winner Floyd Landis admitted to taking performance enhancing drugs.  Plus, Landis says that Lance Armstrong was the one who taught him how to pull it off.  Floyd also talked about when he would check Armstrong’s refrigerator in Spain to make sure the stored blood was at the right temperature.  Why do cyclist cheat so much.  The money can’t be that great and the sponsors money can’t be any better.  We just don’t get it.

Alex starts off the show talking about how he had a ton of ambition today, but it all went away because he “kept stepping into sh*t.”  Its funny the things that you remember in life, Alex always thinks about his cousins’ philosophy on life (one problem to the next) or his best friend’s saying that was based on everything in the universe equaling out. (Really funny, but you have to listen for all the details).

Alex was really disturbed about a segment that he saw on 60 Minutes.  Lawrence Stowe, has been taking people’s money for treatments of incurable diseases like MS, ALS, and much more.  There is no proof that these treatments work, and when 60 Minutes busted him, he just denied, denied, denied. [More]

Pittsburgh Steelers’ Quarterback, Ben Roethlisberger, was suspended for 6 games for breaking the NFL’s personal conduct policy.  Alex can’t believe that Big Ben would expose himself in some redneck bar in Georgia.

Fox’s Glee is not one of Alex’s favorite shows.  Alex just thinks its annoying, because he likes good plots and the dumb musicals just get in the way.  Glee’s “The Power of Madonna” soundtrack is projected to finish number 1 on Bilboard’s US pop album chart.  Ugh

Alex also discussed a local story in Providence, in which a bar owner left the scene of a crime after his car flipped over on the highway and the passenger (his cook) died.  It is in these types of situations that true identities come out, your either that type of person to stay and help or run.

Alex comes back and takes a phone call from @Brother_B_ who talks about what its like to be divorced at the age of 22.  Brother B talks about the circumstances that led to his divorce…and it is unbelievable.

The show ends with Suicide, which is a segment in which people can vent their frustration about life, love, work, or everything.

The Alex Show kicked off again with more audio issues, but were eventually fixed.  Yes!  Alex starts off the show talking about how he recently saw a photo of himself and his man boobs were way too noticeable.  Because of that, he went to the gym before the show and is now exhausted…but we digress.

The new best show in the world…RuPaul’s Drag Race.  Its the perfect combination of female cattiness and male testosterone.  There was constant fighting and the final two had a karaoke battle to see who would stay and who would go.

Alex had a little fender bender over the weekend and talked about how he was way more mature in the situation then the other driver who was in his forties.  Alex said it was the first time that he realized there is no more age gap between adults and himself.

I was born Alexander Stanley Balcerski Jr, shortly after midnight on August 19th, 1981.  I was born four weeks pre-mature because, as my mother put it, “that Phil Rizzuto was so annoying (who was announcing a Yankees baseball game) he sent me into labor.”

I grew up in the same house my entire life in Linwood, a small shore town in Southern New Jersey.  Most of my childhood I spent playing baseball, basketball, and soccer during the school year and working construction with my father in the summer. When I was five I got a really rare disease called Guillain-Barre, I survived.

I attended college at the University of Richmond (in Virginia), which is where I started my broadcasting career.

What started out as a professional wrestling radio show, “The Big Show” turned into one of the most listened to shows on WDCE.  Which isn’t all that impressive since most people at the school had no idea that there was even a radio station.

After graduation, I landed my first job at modern rock station WJSE-FM in Atlantic City.  I started out as the board operator for The Howard Stern Show, basically pushing buttons and occasionally squeaking out the weather and sports.  It was there that I met the afternoon DJ, Scott Reilly, who originally turned me down for my job.  After becoming friends and putting together some comedy bits, I joined Scotty as the co-host of what eventually became know as The Scotty and Alex Show (www.scottyandalex.com).

Within a year, we became the number one afternoon show in Atlantic City.  The success helped us be named the successor to Howard Stern on WJSE in January 2006.  Our run in mornings only lasted ten months as we were picked up by the legendary WYSP in Philadelphia to host nights on the newly deemed, FREE FM.

The show enjoyed success in Philadelphia, even releasing a compilation CD of parody songs and bits titled “Suck My Bit.”  However in September of 2007 WYSP changed formats, and The Scotty and Alex Show was let go.

As the radio industry has changed so have I!  This is why I developed TheAlexShow.com with a live weekly internet show on Friday nights, The Beat It Blog, the video series “It Could Be Worse…”, forums, and much more!

Take some time to check out the podcasts, watch some videos, read some blogs, and hanging out in the forums with other fans of TheAlexShow.com.
