Question about Spencer and Joe from Staten Island

[Gandolf]

LOL, you know I always thought Joe did too much complimenting of Spencer when he calls in (not that Spencer isn't a great guy who has helped us all out tremendously, obviously he has). But it's clear that it get's so over the top at times that Spencer gets a little uncomfortable and I think the "I appreciate that" is just a tool he has found to try to prevent the show from being all about him and stay on target about all the other sufferers, treatments, etc. And it's clear that Joe's a really good natured person, it's just kind of comical at times.

For anyone who hasn't seen, or doesn't know what we're talking about, check out the youtube clip here. You can listen from 8:15 (the moment Joe calls in) until 11:15 and Spencer uses the phrase 5 times! Then less that a minute later at about 12:10 Joe goes so far as to tell him he has beautiful teeth for crying out loud and I don't think I have to tell you what the response is from Spencer! LOL!
