Friday, January 5th

Hey everyone. Happy Friday. Chris is not feeling too hot today, but hopefully will tough it through.

7pm: The guys start off with song about the ganja, leading to a discussion about pot. Even though they do not smoke anymore, they both have that love for it. There is no anger when it comes to pot, because nothing really bad happens.

We also talk about the weird thing about weed. That for most people, the first time you don't get high. Then you also cross that threshold, where it is no longer fun anymore and you cannot get high. Brad says the first time, he ate brownies. Chris is not down for any drug that takes and hour and a half to kick in.

John from Santa Clara talks about bang, where you take the seeds and stems, simmer it in soy milk, and drink it. That is ridiculous. This starts a flood of calls from all our little stoner listeners.
Adam from San Mateo is one of those guys who will go too far for resin. He cleaned his pipe with alcohol, poured it on a plate, and lit it. Supposedly, this leaves resin, but he almost burned down his apartment. That is not worth that nasty hit you would get from that little black ball.

We also ask the eternal question, can you be addicted to pot? "Always high" in Fairfield, says that she can't quit weed. She tries, but is always smoking. I think that the hard part is losing your friends.

The guys had asked, what is the most frequent question, one asks himself when stoned? Chris from Hayward has the best answer, "where's my lighter?"

Chris talks about when he was in rehab, there was a woman in there who was addicted to pot. She constantly got abused by the others, for having that type of addiction. Finally, she had to confront everyone on the fact that this was really messing up her life.

8pm: It's funny, I like stoners, but they are difficult to screen. A lot of them have trouble remembering what city they are from. Hmm... shocking.

Our callers in the new hour, call to defend pot. Both Tiffany and Bruce say that they love and have no plans to quit. Tiffany from Redwood Shores, who has the total stoner voice, says that it's fine as long as you are responsible with it. Bruce from San Jose, says that he is doing fine, and comes from a family where weed is a way of life.

Chris tells a story about a trip he took when he was younger. They were in Arcadia and had only $160. They had to get all the way back to New York City. They thought they were going to be able to buy a huge bag, and sell it to their friends in Salt Lake City. They get a bag of shake, because they are broke, and head to Utah. Their friends are incredibly unimpressed and Chris is not able to sell even a gram.

We also have callers on this topic who call up, and when I answer, forget what they wanted to say. Why am I not surprised?

Ok, so now it is time to talk to Riccardo Garelli, maker of the website, Saddamisnotdead.com. He is an Italian conspiracy theorist, who is trying to convince the world that the execution is a sham. This should be interesting, Riccardo is very excited and has just woken up, being that it is 5:45 AM his time.

This is pretty rough. The language barrier and the connection are not going all that well. I think the point is that he thinks that the cameraman missing the actual shot, is reason enough to believe that it did not actually happen. It seems that he does not really have much of a leg to stand on.

9pm: So, finally, this just keeps getting worse and worse. Eventually, after a few more minutes and a couple callers pleas, we have to throw Mr. Garelli in the Pit of Mediocrity. Poor Riccardo. Oh well.

Brad's cousin just gave him an '88 Honda Accord for free. So, first of all Brad and his wife, T, had to pick the car up from somewhere on 17. He and T get separated, because Brad goes off a weird way to get home to Pacifica. He is almost home, but gets a call from her, that their Saturn has died in the middle of the highway. Brad is almost killed because he goes down the wrong way on a one way street. In doing this, he jacks up a rim on the car that he just got an hour ago. Finally, he gets to her and she is completed freaked out. He gets in the car, and immediately it fires up.

Today, Brad has to go to the DMV to get the title transferred. Chris jumps all over him, for the fact that he should not have had to go to the office. He could have done it online, through the mail, on the phone, or at AAA. Although, Chris admits that he is not the person who takes advantage of these options.

Brad, in all of the time he has to wait, thinks that he will at least be able to do some show prep in all of this time he spends waiting. Of course, there are feral children running about, unsupervised and loud. There is the guy who looked like he "literally crawled out of a crackpipe." Chris points out that this is the guy who argues that he just got his SMOG last year. There is also a guy wearing 2 complete sets of clothes. Of course, there is also the couple that is at the window for the entire time that Brad is there. There is always that person, I don't understand.

Kyle from SF goes back to the Saddam thing, thinking that we will start hearing stories about people spotting Saddam all over the place. Maybe the former dictator will be the next Elvis. That would be pretty great.

Going back to the DMV, Chris goes on a little rant about the bilingual forms and tests. His problem is that as long as the signs are in English, the forms need to be only in English as well.

10pm: At the end of last hour, we got into a discussion about the chip in the brain idea. You know, that eventually we will all have implanted chips with all of our personal information. So, the guys want to know, would you take all of the convenience that comes with that, but have to lose 5% of your memory?

Everyone is down for this, except for me? I'm completely freaked out by the whole idea. I'm not so worried about the memory thing, I'm more concerned about mind control. The guys mock me for this fear, but I've read enough books about the future to be absolutely terrified.

We get a few calls on this, and our people are coming up with all sorts of holes. Dan says that the memory loss would be really terrible for surgeons and anyone else with important training. Sean in Livermore says that losing the 5 % would be bad, because we do not use enough already.

The guys read a story about a man who woke up in a garbage truck right before it was impacted. He made a cell phone call and was rescued in time to be rescued. That has got to be absolutely terrified. The thing is, the article is written in a way, to show that this poor man had a horrible thing happen to him. But he was passed out in a garbage truck. This happened because he was collecting bottles out of a dumpster and nodded off. Wow, this is absolutely crazy.

Ruth Bell Graham, the wife of Billy Graham, has caused some conflict in the family. Their son, Franklin, wants to bury her at the Billy Graham Memorial Library, while she wants to be laid to rest by their place up in the mountains. She says that the library is bookless and tacky. That to the right, is really a picture (from The Washington Post) of this place. I am not a huge fan of Billy Graham, but this place is an absolute monstrosity.

Ok, for the end of the show, we will replay the interview with the Governator from yesterday. So with that, my children, have a good night and I apologize to my mother.
