Friday, January 26th

Hey Everyone. Well, I am in a much better mood, as my cell phone hell is finally over, at least temporarily. Happy Friday night!!! Remember to come say hello at the A's FanFest tomorrow from 10-3 at the Colliseum.

7pm: You know what's stupid? You can't tailgate at the Super Bowl. At the money of all football games, how are you not going to tailgate? The reason is security. According to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, "Among the items banned: containers of any type, coolers of any size, backpacks, bottles, banners, noisemakers and horns." I think the reason they are doing this, is so they can sell more beer and food in the stadium. They claim security, but I think that's total bull.

The guys are a little worried about tomorrow, because the show will be pretty baseball oriented. This is ok for Chris, because he likes sports, but for Brad this is an issue. To see how Brad will do, we are asking for daughters between 9-12, to compete against Brad in baseball knowledge. That's just mean.

A man in Pontiac, MI has been sentenced to 18 months - 30 years for his crimes. The reason, is that he cannot stop breaking into stores and molesting mannequins. This is the seventh time he has been arrested for this. Ronald Dotson, the mannequin-lover, is 39, still lives with his parents and has never been able to work. This is just insane. Although, she was wearing a french maid outfit, so she was kinda asking for it. That slutty mannequin.

This is hilarious. When asked what movie is being made into a play, I would have never guessed "Point Break." But, it is actually happening in New York. Here is the hook: Audience members will be playing Keanu Reeves' character, Johnny Utah. Why audience members?

From Playbill.com, "Keanu Reeves roles demand a special kind of acting," explains director Hook, on the show's conceit. "Essentially, in every scene, you have to look like you've just been dropped into a room and you have no idea what's going on." Fantastic.

So you want to leave your valuables in your room when you go swimming. Where do you leave them, where they won't get stolen? Brief safe has come up with a solution. They are tighty-whities, with a compartment in the crotch for your valuables, with a huge fake skidmark. That is very creative, but so incredibly disgusting. Shockingly, these are made in America. Ahh, so proud.


8pm: Ok, so it is time to embarrass Brad. We are going to have little girls face off against Brad, answering baseball questions. We are going to ask them both 20 questions and see who does the best. First up is Shannon in Daly City.

Shannon completely destroys Brad. Brad only gets 8 questions right (and that's a gimme). This is pretty sad. What is fantastic about this, is it's a big hoax. Shannon is actually Tim Jordan's, who works down the hall, daughter. She did a fantastic job though, completely fooling Brad until question 18.

Next is Alisha from Napa. She is only 5 years old. Alisha is giggling too much to answer any questions.

Doris in Albany is 11 years old. She does not like baseball and sounds a little unhappy. She is not nearly as successful as Shannon. I wonder why.

Ok, so now it is time to go over the 20 Greatest Guitar Solos Ever from CityRag. This is actually taken from Guitar World's 100 Greatest Guitar Solos Ever, but with video included. Pretty much all of us like the list, but do not like #8: Hotel California. Supposedly a good song, but none of us like it.

This leads us to the question: What song do you recognize as great, but never need to hear it again?

- Hotel California
- Money (I disagree)
- Born in the USA
- Anything by Lynyrd Skynyrd (I disagree with this, as well)
- Stairway to Heaven

Dave in SF says that MP3 players ruin great songs. He says that he hears these songs too often on his IPod. It's not the same as when you hear it on the radio.

9pm: James in Pleasanton calls a little off topic. He cannot stop cheating on women and is indifferent towards break-ups. In fact, he just broke up with his girlfriend tonight. We talk to him for a little while, but Brad gets really sick of the call.

Songs Mentioned This Hour:

- House of the Rising Sun
- Black Magic Woman (I say anything by Santana)
- Bohemian Rhapsody
- Spirit in the Sky
- Seven Nation Army

Sarah emails and thinks the terms for these should be "the vault." Mike in SF thinks they should me in "moratorium."

Alex in Hayward and 22. He is also mad at the IPod. He got a Nano for his fiancee, and she never used it. Finally, he took it over, because it was worthless sitting on the shelf. Once he did, he had the same problem, he got sick of his songs. This ends up being a common theme from several callers.

I have an IPod Mini and I never use it. It was great for my roadtrip and is good on planes, but that's about it. Ken in Pacifica actually uses the IPod in a similar way that I do. I go through phases, where I play the same 10 songs over and over.

10pm: It is now time for the Friday Night Replay of our interview yesterday with Craig Newark of Craigslist. So, have a great weekend, we hope to see you tomorrow, and I apologize to my mother.
