Make a call: Madonna or Willem Dafoe? (AP)

In anticipation of Saturday’s Foxwoods appearance, comedian Jay Mohr joined The Dennis & Callahan Morning Show to discuss the Super Bowl and Boston sports fans. The Jerry Maguire star kept the jokes coming throughout the interview (for audio, click here), culminating in his halftime show prediction for this Sunday’s rematch between the Giants and Patriots: “Madonna takes out her crank and shows the world that she’s really Willem Dafoe.”

Now for the best part. The real highlight of the interview came when the subject of Mohr’s late Saturday Night Live costar Chris Farley arose. We’ll let him tell the story in his own words.

Me and [former SNL writer] Dave Attell paid Farley to go No. 2 out our window. One night, he was in our office and he was about to leave, and we were like, “Wait, don’t go.” But not like normal people, like, “Don’t go, we want to hang out with you, because you’re Farley, you’re funny.” We were like, “No, wait, don’t go, we’ll give you $100 to drop a deuce out the window.”

To his credit, he said, “Give me the money first.” So, we gave him 100 bucks. He gets up on the window ledge. It’s the 17th floor. Almost his entire body is outside the building — just his head, knees, toes and hands are inside the building.

“It” fell inside the window sill. I’ll be careful how I say everything, don’t worry. Keep your finger on the “dump” button. There was no toilet paper or anything like that, so I think I can just say this: He did it manually.

Meteorologist Mark Rosenthal got lost at Honey Pot Hill Orchard in Stow, Mass., and had to call 911 to get out. If you had one guess what this guy did for a living, wouldn’t you have picked weatherman? Those guys can’t get anything right. For good reason, these genii are being compared to the Mensa candidates who got lost in the corn maze in Danvers, which raises the obvious question:
