Tuesday, October 31
Happy Halloween! It's my favorite holiday. I don't celebrate Christmas, so this is my Christmas.
7pm: Chris and Brad challenge listeners to try and scare us. For me, it is clowns and Danny Bonaduce. Dan's is roving rural crowds with pitchforks. Brad's is wasps and Chris' is people with deformities. But, clowns is not that interesting, so really you should focus on the others.
Chris did a good thing today. He signed up to be an organ donor. This starts off as a nice thing, but then he reveals that specifically he will be donating his nipples. Eww this is so creepy, Chris is actually lifting his shirt and showing Brad his nipples. I don't even know what to do with that.
They get the email of the month. It was supposed to be sent to me, but was sent to their email account. It is from former coworker, Phillip, of Chris and Brad's. He references a section in my blog about Chris admitting his drunk emails. To enlighten me further of Chris' drunken mistakes, he recounts a story of a blasted phone call. Chris admits that he was definitely the, "I love you" guy in his drinking days.
To get revenge against Phillip, Chris tells a story of his own. Now, Phillip is supposed to be very intelligent, but this is one of his dumbest moments. As some background, he was first fired for being pleasured by a female listener at the station. He gets to come back to do middays a few years later. One day, Phillip isn't there.
The reason: Phillip hypnotized a female coworker into gratifying him sexually. When called into the boss' office, he admitted this right away.
Brad and I have been having an argument that is brought to the air. Now, Snickers is my favorite candy bar, of course. But, Brad and I are arguing about Twix vs. Kit Kat. Twix is clearly better than Kit Kat. I mean, come on. Whose side are you on, I won't be offended, so let me know.
To end the hour, we go over the changes for Halloween in the Castro. There has been a lot of news on this locally in the past few weeks. Things have gotten pretty out of control the last few years, and the neighborhood has had enough. There have been rumours that there will be water trucks coming out at 11.
I went down there last year and it was absolutely packed. I saw some good costumes, but it was a little too much for me. You can't get into bars and it is difficult to move around. I could definitely see how the neighborhood gets completely trashed.
8pm: What is the best candy to get on Halloween? Chris loves Smarties. Brad tells us about making candy structures from the fun size bars.
Patty from the city calls in to tell us about her experience at the Exotic Erotic Ball. She had won tickets from the show. She is being pretty coy about the whole thing, but she definitely saw some pretty crazy things.
The guys go over ghost stories from all over the Bay Area. A lot of these sound like bs to me. Chris' is in a city high school, you can hear toilet paper unravelling in the girl's bathroom. You can also see feet under one of the stalls. Another is that on the Altamont Pass in Livermore, if you put your car in neutral, the deceased school children will push your vehicle.
Brad retells a story of his wife playing "Bloody Mary" as a child. She swears that she really saw a scary face in the mirror. I played that game at camp, and I remember being scared, but I'm pretty sure it was just power of suggestion... or was it???
Another story is that the roast beef shop at Great America is haunted. Supposedly, someone froze to death in their freezer and can be heard late at night. To give us more information on this, Andrew from Cupertino calls in. He tells us that there are other places in the park that are haunted, specifically the IMAX theater.
More importantly, Andrew is able to move us from 98 to 97%. Thanks Andrew, we've been waiting for someone to do this for us. We finally did it!!!
Calls are all over the place tonight. A great one is that Steve from Santa Rosa once got a package of Chicken Flavored Top Ramen. What the hell is that?
We also get a few calls from fellow clown fearers. They understand where I'm coming from. I'm sorry, but clowns are just plain scary. They just look so soulless. I'm not alone on this one for a reason.
9pm: Throughout the night, we have been talking about candy. So during break, I had to go grab some fun size Twix from the break room. Chris, of course, asks me a question when I have a mouth full of caramel. Some advice: do not eat a Twix when you may have to talk.
While we have been going on about candy, I have spent most of my time on a fantastic website. It's called OldTimeCandy.com. It's awesome. The problem is that looking at all this candy is completely distracting me from the show. So, if my blog is not as thorough tonight, I apologize.
We hear about candy necklaces and bikinis (Seen Above), Big Buddies, Jujubes, Good and Plentys, Charleston Chews, Sen Sen, and every other candy you could ever imagine.
We have also been asking what is the weirdest non-candy thing you got. We have heard pizza, toothbrushes, hand stamps, paper money, coupons, walnuts, and Top Ramen. That's just awful to give out that crap.
Chris goes on a rant about how his girlfriend, Ace, eats blowpops. She is a sugar addict. The thing that kills him is every time they go on a long trip, she goes to town on the blow pops. Fortunately, as Chris goes on and on about this, Brad realizes that there are calls on the board. Thank goodness for callers to move this away.
To end the hour, the guys read a story about the Mayan Indians. For the Day of the Dead, they take the bones of their deceased loved ones out of their boxes, and polish them. That's a pretty hardcore tradition. I think that Chris and Brad would be a little uncomfortable with this ritual.
10pm: Brad got a report from his daughter. She went trick or treating in Pacifica tonight. Apparently, she brought in a much better haul than ever had in Fresno. I miss trick or treating (I'm small I wonder if I could still go).
We have some breaking news tonight from our sister station, KPIX CBS 5. The story says that there were several explosions inside the Ebay/PayPal building. They are even sending in bomb squads and Hazmat teams. I hope that everyone is ok. We will certainly keep you updated as we here more.
Continuing our candy discussion, we start talking about white chocolate. Chris swears that if you get a good piece of white chocolate, and close your eyes, it tastes like regular chocolate. I'm not sure if I agree with that statement.
Also, they notice that sometimes Reese's Peanut Butter Cups have a bad one. We all love Reese's, but every once in a while, you get that one that just isn't right. It's just grainy and stale tasting. I wonder why that is.
Brad's Penile Euphemism of the Day: Alexander's Ragtime Gland. This one is a little more specific than normal, only for men named Alex, during that time of the month. Dan and I express our disgust at this one. I throw my headphones down and Dan says we're leaving the show. We, of course, stay and are forced to admit that in spite ourselves, it was pretty funny.
The guys go over a few more Bay Area ghost stories.
- Supposedly, the Outback Steakhouse in Dublin is haunted. Did someone die from too many Bloomin' Onions?
- A male student at Pittsburg high was shot 18 times and is heard screaming in the halls.
- The Oakland SPCA has an older woman gardening in the pet crematorium. That is weird.
- Mount Diablo High School has the ghost of a suicide hanging from the roof.
For the last segment, the guys tell a story about a magician, The Amazing Joe, in Fresno. He really wanted to be famous, but just didn't have the talent. The thing is, he wore a blue unitard and looked like Jesus. The guys had to interview him at their old station and he was incredibly cocky and condescending.
Amazing Joe wanted to be buried alive in a lucite coffin. Unfortunately, they say, Joe didn't work out all the variables to successfully complete this feat. Broadcast on tv and in front of a crowd of children, he enters the coffin. They lower him 6 feet into the ground, dump the concrete on top, and he is supposed to escape.
There is a crack, and everyone realizes that the cement has gone through the coffin. It took them 20 minutes to get him out of there, but that was too long. In front of all those little kids, Joe did not make it. That is a pretty intense story to end our Halloween broadcast. Poor Joe, awful or not, that is not a good way to go.
With that, I hope you had a safe and debaucherous Halloween. I apologize to my mother, have a good night.
