I got on the maury show once. Took a road trip with a few buds to hit all the skateparks from here to New York. Within 10 mins of walking around a black cargo van pulls up next to us, door slides open, and somebody leans out and says "want free lunch?" Hell yeah we do...
So we get vanned to the show and there's already shit in progress. They sit us on the floor right in front of the stage. They finish up, lunch time. We all get one slice of some gnarly triangle of grease and cheese and herd us back into the studio. A new show with new guests was going to be taped. They tell the audience to go nuts."the crazier you are, the more chance you'll end up on tv". So people get all crazy and loud. They egg it all on with some lady right behind the camera waving her arms around for people to first get loud then shut the F up. It was supposed to be a 2 part show they made the guests go and change their clothes and maury went and put on a different colored sweater. It was fuckin lame.
Wasted a completely good day in NY to be stuck at the maury show. My buddy is still pissed we went there instead of seeing NY. That was pre 9-11. He's still pissed to this day he never got to see the towers.
Anyway, all those shows are way better sitting at home so when it finally gets to that "ok my head hurts, shut the fuck up now" you can easily turn it off or change it.
