The Fighty Trilogy: Episodes 408, 514, and 523
What is The Fighty Trilogy? These are the three episodes in which Jimmy, Matt, and Pat are the most, uh, fighty.
Episode 408 is Part 1 of The Fighty Trilogy, wherein the guys argue over who is the most rude in e-mail form. But it’s not all a slugfest. We also get to hear about Nana’s monkey and Andrew’s story about filming a movie with Gary Busey.
Episode 514 is Part 2. The guys discuss Michael Jackson on the day after his memorial service. Matt and Pat have some disagreements, which they insist on pursuing despite Jimmy’s repeated (repeated!) admonishing that “there is no funny to be found here!”
Episode 523 is the most famous of the Fighty Trilogy, in which Matt and Pat insist on not shutting up while Jimmy is trying to tell a story, so Jimmy does what any rational, right-thinking American would do: he throws his microphone, slams down his headphones and barges out of the studio.
