Stu’s Super Bowl guarantee went very wrong
With the Glenn Beck Program based out of Philadelphia in 2005, Stu dangled a little cheap hometown pandering in front of Glenn, claiming the Eagles had never lost a game he attended and guaranteeing a Super Bowl win if Glenn paid to send him. Glenn paid, the Eagles lost, and Stu paid for it afterward.

Glenn’s joy came from watching Stu scramble
Glenn revealed on the show this week that one of his favorite things over the years was putting Stu on the spot with no warning — throwing to him on the phone with no idea where the call was headed. Here’s an example we found when researching the Super Bowl story above.
