Friday, November 3

Hi! Little E here to keep you filled in. My mom is here in the studio and today is her birthday! Happy birthday Mom!!! I think Brad and Chris are a little nervous about her being here, they promised to be on their best behavior.

7pm: Of course, the guys start off telling my mom how bad at being Jewish I am. Totally ratted me out.

So, we had a little controversy last night. Danny from Daly City was given the Tenacious D tickets for Mental Speedbump. Danny spoke for the entire 60 seconds, but is being accused of not staying on topic. In all their years playing this game in Fresno, no complaints on a victory. The standards are a little higher here in San Francisco, and maybe the guys have to up the ante to meet expectations.

We replay Danny's effort before tonight's give away to show an example of what is not good enough for San Francisco's audience. Just to fill you in, before Danny, we had massive failures from other constestants.

The topic to begin: Explain why Mrs. Butterworth is hotter than the Land o Lakes chick? Peter from San Francisco's attempt makes us question the race of Mrs. Butterworth. Chris and I always thought she was white, Brad and Peter swear she was black.

Peter from Woodside gets a really nasty question about eye goop. Ewww. He uses a redneck accent and does a great job. Way to go Peter, I don't think there will be as much debate for this victory.

Kim from Vallejo calls in heated that Mrs. Butterworth is black. But look at this picture of her above. That's a white Mrs. B. No matter what Kim or Brad say, Chris won't budge a bit on his argument that she is white. Murphy tries to reach a compromise by saying that Mrs. Butterworth is black but looks white.

This controversy continues throughout the hour. The phones light up with people's ideas of Mrs. B's ethnicity. Will this mystery ever be solved? I tried to call their hotline, but they are closed. But what if I have a syrup emergency? Who will help me with my maple needs?

After a lot of calls, we found old Mrs. Butterworth's commercials on YouTube. From the voice in these ads, she is definitely a white woman.

8pm: During break, I read a forward that was absolutely hysterical. As soon as I read it, I had to give it to Chris and Brad for the show. It is from an advice column, and is titled: "Scouting For 'Camel Toads' at Pool." This letter is written by the sweetest, most clueless woman around. I can't begin to explain it, so you'll have to follow the link to read it yourself.

Chris admits to us in this hour, that he hates horses. He thinks that the rewards of a horse do not justify the care required. He thinks they are prissy, particularly compared to their cousin, the donkey. He makes it clear that he is not out to convert the horse-lovers of the world.

The reason Chris brings this up is Willie Nelson. Willie is out to save the horses. He wrote an article on CNN.com about horses being slaughtered in this country. Further, he believes that horses should be the national emblem. Brad likes horses, but believes the eagle serves us better. Chris kind of agrees, even though he doesn't like horses. The world is topsy-turvy. So, what do you think of the horse over the eagle as a national emblem? Or, do you think something else altogether would be better?

The guys finally ask my mom about my lack of religious practice and knowledge. My mom is a sweet woman, and won't sell me out to the guys. I think she was a little nervous, but I think she did a good job. I think the guys wanted her to get angry at me for my lack of faith. Sorry guys, not my mom.

Dan fills in the guys on the practices at the gym. He has to be the expert, because Chris, Brad and I don't work out. We smoke instead. The reason they ask about the gym, is because a man in New York was ejected from a gym for grunting. They ask if that would happen at Dan's gym.

9pm: At the end of the hour, Brad brought up that gyms force you to cancel credit cards. Long after you cancel your membership, they will keep charging your credit card. Anthony from Pleasanton calls in to say that his gym won't let him cancel. The gym won't let you go unless you move away or have a doctor's note. They are as bad as the cell phone companies.

Brad refutes a Bay Area myth. The fog here is not that bad, well compared to Central valley fog. This can't be true with all the advertising tied to the fog here in the city. Brad even gets frustrated with the local drivers reacting to the fog. He says that this fog is weak, and the drivers need to toughen up.

Police have arrested a New Jersey man for using a lawnmower to carve a racial slur into a field. They don't say what the slur is, but it could be seen from the sky. What a moron. This brings up Brad and Chris' dream to see "Surrender Dorothy" written in the sky. If you have any information into how this can be done, please let us know. Skywriting services are difficult to find.

Chris bitches about Maxim. He does not like the way they shoot these beautiful women. They are always overly made-up and oily. Brad thinks the articles are pretty good, but is angry by San Francisco's absence on the party city list. Chris thinks the list makes sense, but he's wrong. San Francisco is an incredible party town. I am with them about the girls though. They always have far too much bronzer on, and look dirty.

We have been speaking about the Borat movie all week. He has been everywhere, and each show introduces him as Borat, not Sacha Baron Cohen. I've seen him interviewed as himself, but only once and it was quite a while ago. I don't really remember his personality though, Brad wonders if he would be interesting not in character.

10pm: Chris has been trying to play Borat's appearance on The Daily Show for around 10 minutes. They try and use Comedy Central's Motherload, but it doesn't work very well. Finally, we are able to get it from YouTube. This is why they can't pull these clips from the site.

We found this recently, an Australian underwear company, that has invented the "Wonderjock." Yes, it is what it sounds like, a wonderbra for men's um.. special places. Now, this picture isn't a close-up, but I gotta say, this is pretty crazy. So, if you need a little boost, put down the sock, and grab a Wonderjock.

In speaking about Maxim before, Chris has a realization. Why would you buy a magazine now? There is nothing you can find in any magazine, that you can't eventually get on the internet for free. Now that I think of it, I can't remember the last time I bought a magazine.

We get a call from Susan in San Leandro. She has a bone to pick with the guys. Susan claims that they were rude to her a few weeks ago. Apparently, Chris and Brad kept putting her on hold and then accused her of being uninterested. She sounds like she's on something, although she says she hasn't been drinking. Furthermore, she remembers the insult, but not the conversation. None of us remember doing this to her, I think something is off there. We all kind of think she is thinking of Leykis.

Nick from Petaluma brings up a caller named Susan, that was on the Leykis show. He wonders if it was the same girl. Michael from Novato calls in to set the record straight. This was a different caller. A woman called Leykis' show saying that she had killed the father of her children, and got away with it. Tom offers a $5,000 bounty for the conviction of this woman. Apparently, she didn't realize the consequences of admitting something like that on the radio. That is pretty insane.

To end the show, Chris and Brad talk about the eventual ban of dvd players in your car. If cell phones are being banned, dvds have to be next. Chris saw a guy with a dvd player on his dashboard, facing him. What the hell is wrong with people?

We end the show on a high note. Reannan from San Jose calls in to give the guys a high compliment. She has been telling people about the show, including her professors. Tonight in class, her teacher quoted the show, with "I steeled my mind." That is awesome. See, word of mouth works. Help us out guys, it means everything. You're awesome Reannan.

Have a good night everyone and Happy Birthday Mom!!!
