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.

Saturday – February 27th, 2010:

This edition of The Alex Show podcast kicks off with Alex asking why USA Olympic skier, Julia Mancuso, is not beloved by her country.  Lindsey Vonn is overrated because falling in three out of five events is not acceptable for a true Olympic champion.

Alex hates the ski jump because there is no skill involve and he questions his moral values because he laughs every time an ice skater falls.

Alex has a thing for Lady Gaga.  He likes that she goes all out and is different.

Jay Leno returns to the Tonight Show on Monday, and everyone is wondering how he will handle is first show.  Does he make jokes about the late night debacle or just move on.

Alex was knee deep in the Hawaii Tsunami coverage, and wondered what he would do in that situation.
