Friday, February 23rd
Hey everyone. Erica here yet again. Hope you enjoyed Chris and Brad this afternoon in their extra show today. I was not there, but heard it went well.
7pm: Chris had one of those experiences on the Embarcadero today that we all have had. There was a bike next to him, that he could not get away from. He kept passing him, until he realized that he was not really going any faster than this person. It annoyed him to the point, where part of him wanted to just jerk the wheel just a bit.
Chris went to a Chinese buffet in South San Francisco today. Brad had decided not to go with him, in order to take a nap. Chris points out that he saw a pile of green beans on one of the table, with workers snipping the ends. They are never wearing gloves and doing their own thing. One girl was even eating a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. Brad says you will never be surprised with what else they are doing while cleaning the beans.
Brad had mentioned that he hopes to live until 86. John in Moraga says that Brad has a better shot at kicking down a door, than living till 86. That's not very nice at all, John. Then he mocks Brad's ability of kicking down a door, he even says he'll put down $100 on it. Chris says he has about 56 for Brad on the death clock, John says early 60's.
Brenda in Patterson calls to talk about the Stockton dj's who tricked their listeners into thinking that Michael Jackson had died. It was part of a bad text messaging joke, whatever that means. The strangest thing is that a lot of listeners were very upset by their actions. One listener threatened to call the FCC, as if they would get right through.
Ok, so Dave Attell is with us tonight. A year ago today, he was on with a former host at the station. He remembers it as a bright, clear morning. He said he could tell right away that there was something wrong, being that she did not really say much beforehand. Being that he sympathized with her problem, he tried to help her out, even fielding calls. He also thought for a while, that people were punking him, but soon realized that was not the case.
So, moving on from that, Brad tells Dave that he and his wife use the drunken time travel bit. In the end of it, you play the knife game with the transsexual. Brad always wants to know what game that actually is.
When asked about the Joe Rogan/Carlos Mencia drama, he says he knows both of them. He tells us that Joe really loves comedy and is not just doing this for the press. Dave also says that a lot of times, people just come up with the same jokes. Some people do steal jokes; however, and he is glad that Joe is bringing the issue to the forefront.
Dave says that it was his decision to stop doing "Insomniac." It was too hard to keep doing it in the States, because people act too differently. He tells us that he loves Sarah Silverman's new show and that he is glad a funny woman is on there. Chris asks if it is too weird to be successful mainstream, to which Dave says that is what is so great about Comedy Central.
Dave only had a little bit of time for us tonight. Chris is a little confused, thinking that Dave seemed pretty chilly. Brad says that he was just probably just in his head, being that he was about to go onstage.
We play the news report audio from CBS 13 in Sacramento of the Stockton radio djs. Oh man, they are full of little jokes, like the KWIN djs "did start something" while playing "Wanna Be Startin' Somethin." The audio of these angry people is ridiculous.
To end the hour, the guys read the most disgusting Craigslist ad. It is for a house in Berkeley asking for a roommate who is lactating. They believe the human breast milk is nutritional. That is absolutely disgusting. They are offering free rent for her "services."
So, over break I realized a pattern with the show. Dave Attell seemed pretty surly in the interview. This makes me believe that perhaps the show is cursed when it comes to comedians. So, we go over the comics we have had on the show. Jim Norton was great, but Marcus pissed him off right before he went on the air. Then, we had Robert Schimmel, also good, but you could barely hear him because of bad cell phone reception. Finally, the guys are friends with Carlos Mencia; however, he is in some trouble because of his fight with Joe Rogan. Hmmm... just throwing that idea out there.
This brings us back to superstitions. Brad tells us that when you cross a railroad, you have to touch a screw to avoid pregnancy. Also, if a woman gets her period in a church, her next baby will be stillborn.
Jay in Oakland says that you have to touch the clock, when all the numbers are the same. Freddy in San Jose says that holding an American flag upside-down, will cause your house to burn down.
Somehow, Chris mentioned the phantom brake pedal. I have to ask what the deal is with parent's doing that when you are learning to drive. My mother did that all the time when I was younger and it drove me insane. The guys say it is because I am girl, but Dan says his mother did the same thing. Ben in Novato says that it is biological. His parents did it to him, and he and his wife did it to his daughter. Ahh, we must break this annoying cycle.
Well, back to superstitions, people keep calling about "Bloody Mary." Enough is enough, I'm going to put this to bed right now. This is absolutely ridiculous. So, I volunteer to do it right now. Caller Robert offers an explanation for why it happens, but I block out my audio so I can't hear.
Jeff in San Mateo holds his breath when he goes through tunnels. But, his problem is that he drives for a living and has to go through some nasty tunnels. What if you get caught in tunnel traffic?
9pm: The guys decide to impart some advice onto the young female listeners. You meet that really cool girl, but then you find out she's a little bit witchy. Not mean, but believes in all of the wicca stuff. Chris' girlfriend Ace is like that. He found out when he moved into a house and she wanted to cleanse the home.
Ok, so now it is time for the signs of the Apocalypse. Chris thought it was a sign when they changed the color of ketchup for kids. Especially, because all kids love ketchup already. For Brad, it has been the recent story that chimpanzees are using spears to kill African bushbabies. Yeah, that is pretty terrifying.
Apparently, according to Brad, scientists in Japan have given a six-legged robot a slime mold brain, so that it will hide in the dark. That just does not sound good at all.
Dan, the dreamcatcher that he is, does not believe in the Apocalypse. He thinks it is just a bunch of hooey.
Stem cells are being used to give women bigger breasts, and give us the ability to produce sperm. That's a little weird. I mean I guess it's good for lesbian couples, because the child would have both genetics.
Brad brings out that McDonald's may actually be serving breakfast all day. This has not been cemented, but the franchises are adding equipment that would lead one to believe so. But, this is such a huge change, that perhaps it is a sign.
Aidan in Newark believes that if another Rocky movie comes out, the world will officially end. Ben in Novato thinks that we hear too many signs, to heed any of them. He points out that we just rattled off six and are still asking for more.
John in Pacifica says that barcoding people is the next sign. He thinks it is right around the corner. Brad reads a story leading us that much closer to the chip being into the brain. Holy crap.
Aaron in Newark thinks it is when all the newly-hatched turtles make it to the ocean, without being snatched up by birds. It is so weak, that I as predicted, Aaron enters the Pit of Mediocrity.
We finish up the signs of the Apocalypse talking about the colossal squid recently caught in New Zealand that is almost 1,000 lbs.
Well, with that, it is time for the Friday Night Replay. I apologize to my mother, have a good night.
