Anyone have Don't Try This at Home, Phobophilia or Home Invasion? - 2007/05/31 16:09 I don't wish to be a bother, but I think that if anyone has those specials and could put them on the site, they'd be greatly appreciated by myself and the other P&T fans.

Re:Anyone have Don't Try This at Home, Phobophilia or Home Invasion? - 2007/05/31 16:23 Isn't "Don't Try This At Home" the one where Teller gets run over by a truck, after Penn discusses hypotheses for the trick with Victoria Jackson?

I also wonder if Victoria Jackson is the nameless SNL has-been Penn talks about on the radio once, who says "Why can't Penn shut up about being an atheist? I'm a born-again Christian, and..." etc etc.

Yup, that's the one. And the truck bit is the only piece I've found online, never the whole show.

Re:Anyone have Don't Try This at Home, Phobophilia or Home Invasion? - 2007/05/31 17:48 according to Wikipedia Victoria Jackson is a devout Christian and has appeared on the 700 club (ewwww), so more than likely it was probably her.

Re:Anyone have Don't Try This at Home, Phobophilia or Home Invasion? - 2007/06/01 10:36 The "Don't Try This at Home" special also featured the millions of bees routine Penn talked about on the radio show.

And I believe the beaver trap routine was on there as well...

Good news. I found "Don't Try This" online. - 2007/06/01 18:50 There are two websites I came across that have "Don't Try This at Home" free for download. Here they are in case anyone is interested.

I'd like to upload them here, but I'm not that proficient with it. Maybe someone else could.

Re:Anyone have Don't Try This at Home, Phobophilia or Home Invasion? - 2007/06/05 15:10 It looks like most of this is stuff has survived on Youtube for a few weeks at a time, but not all of it. The opening bit with the mirrors, for example, I'd never seen anywhere.

The marshmallow bit left a bit of an impression on me. It's a lot like the Stand-Up Comedy Simulator bit seen in their UK show, but... preverse.

Re:Anyone have Don't Try This at Home, Phobophilia or Home Invasion? - 2007/06/11 19:22 I had Phobophilia on vhs but the first 3/4 of it got taped over with some David Copperfield crap, so now all that is left is Provenza in a tube and the bullet catch
