Tuesday, January 2nd

Hey everyone. Welcome back. Hope you all had a great break. It's always a little weird the first day back.

7pm: To start the show, the guys honor President Gerald Ford by playing a clip of Dana Carvey doing Tom Brokaw recording contigency breaking headlines of his death.

The guys talk about the demise of Dick Clark and Dana Carvey. Both were great and illness really affected their careers. We will play a clip of Clark's performance on New Years. It is pretty sad.

Of course we also talk about the death of James Brown. He was supposed to play at Bimbo's in February, but I guess that's not happening.

Chris and Brad talk about their vacations. Chris' was great but incredibly dull. Brad's was supposed to be great. He and his wife had their first week alone together in forever. But, the minute they returned from Fresno, they both got violently ill. Poor Brad, that sounds miserable. He is still hurting quite a bit.

You know what the best part is, Brad probably gave all of us whatever the hell he has. Fantastic. Now, I have bird flu.

After the Boise State game last night, we talk a little about college football. Chris, several listeners, and I all love pro football, and hate college ball. Dan thinks that we are all flawed for this preference. This also leads to what the Statue of Liberty play is. It was cool in the game last night, but probably wouldn't be pulled off in the pros.

8pm: Ok, so for Brad's sake, we wrap up the football discussion. By the way, I played the NFL.com game to decide who I should root for in the playoffs. Chris is trying to convince everyone to root for the Jets. I won't, simply because of Chris. If you didn't know, I am a huge 'Skins fan. The NFL.com site gave me the damn Ravens. I'm an f-ing Redskins fan. I hate the Ravens. Stupid NFL.com.

The guys play a bit of Dick Clark on New Year's Eve. It is incredibly depressing to hear this. This is really, really sad.

We also go over a review of the upcoming Rambo 4. Sweet, Rambo will be taking on some no-good pirates. We still don't know whether or not Rocky wins the fight in the new movie. The boys had argued about this. Brad says that Rocky wins and dies. Chris thinks he loses and lives. Chris is convinced that these two movies prove inarguably that Sly has become utterly impotent. They also realize that there are no beatdowns in Rambo, because he is always blowing people away.

So, what are the best movie beatdowns. Here are some mentions:
- English Bob getting beatdown in "Unforgiven"
- Joe Pesci getting his in "Casino"
- the curb scene in "American History X" (so incredibly horrifying)
- the ear scene in "Reservoir Dog"
- that Jean Claude Van Damm movie with the broken glass
- Jet Li in "Fist of Legend"
- Denis Leary beating the abusive father with a toaster in "Suicide Kings"
- Bruce Willis ripping the guy's junk off in "Sin City"
- Axe handle beating in "Evil Dead Two"

Brad has an interesting take with "Passion of the Christ." I have never seen this, but apparently, Jesus Christ gets beat up the entire movie.

9pm: We continue with the lovely imagery of people getting their ass kicked. Mentions this hour:

- Baseball bat beating in "Irreversible"
- All of "Boondock Saints"
- Patricia Arquette stabbing with a corkscrew in "True Romance"
- All of "High Tension"
- "Clockwork Orange" - the Singing in the Rain scene
- "Kill Bill" - Lucy Liu on the conference table/ Uma Thurman's revenge against the abusive orderly

Ok, so in talking about Uma Thurman's revenge, Chris gets really disgusting. He asks which is more wrong: sleeping with a dead girl or sleeping with a girl in a coma? What the hell is wrong with them? I had to jump on and yell at them for that one.

To wrap up the beating hour, the guys read a story about a mob of Spanish villagers burning down the home of "the bald one." This was apparently the result of seven years of threats and harrassment. Happy New Year to you, the bald one.

10pm: We wrap up the beating scenes. Finally, I get to talk about my new obsession: The Godfather: The Game. I got this for my boyfriend for Christmas, and realized how incredibly fun this is. The whole game is extortion and beating the crap out of people. If you like Grand Theft Auto, you will absolutely love this game.

So, the topics weave from gaming to beatdowns and everywhere else. Nate from Oakland calls in about gaming and goes back to pitbulls. He says that the reason that they are so screwed up is because they are incredibly inbred.

Brad mentions that he recently was forced to watch "The Devil Wears Prada" and did not even get any ass points for that. Dan defends that it is actually good, while Chris and I mock him harshly.

The guys play the Dana Carvey clip talking about Gerald Ford's theoretical death again. This leads them to other people who are no longer funny. One is Jay Leno. I have never thought that Leno was funny.

At the end of the show, it totally geeks out. A caller was talking about video games, and I had to write on his comment line, "still a virgin." I know that I'm mean, but seriously. This leads Chris to talk about the super geeky guys he saw outside an Anime convention. I can only imagine.

Ok, with that, have a great night everyone. I apologize to my mother.
