Zach Galifianakis to Star in Talking Guinea Pig Movie: When I am not listening to the almighty WOXY, I am listening to The Best Show on WFMU with Tom Scharpling. This past week he chatted with comedian Zach Galifianakis for a couple hours. It ruled. Listen up here.

    Robin Quivers covered the robot wife story on the Stern show the other day. And as she was telling the story, I had a vision of the guy who created the robot wife as being a really creepy loser and seeing his picture posted above I was right! How very “Stepford Wives” like!
