Monday, March 12th
Hey everyone. Just to let you know, The Gray Area will be off tomorrow night as we our having our first A's night broadcast. We will be back Wednesday.
7pm: As Selection Sunday was yesterday, we start off talking about the brackets. Chris points out that there tends to be a trend. We all think Brad will win because he knows the least about college basketball. He has no loyalty issues that will affect Dan, Chris and I in our brackets. Also, we will be doing a mascot bracket.
If you haven't heard, in addition to Richard Jeni, Brad Delp from Boston died on Friday. The Richard Jeni thing is really sad. The story is that he shot himself in the face in the shower. His girlfriend apparently was in the other room.
We get a call from Joe in Livermore who must be on speed. He is calling about AC/DC and is talking incredibly fast. No matter what we say, he will not admit that he is on meth. Chris wonders why it is meth that eliminates culpability. Tweakers will never ever cop to their state of being.
Dan says that the reason tweakers won't admit it is because we all know it is only a matter of time before they are stealing from us. Then he asks Chris and Brad if they have ever slept with someone on meth. Dan says they cannot possibly concentrate on one act at a time, they are always wanting to do something new every other minute.
Joe in Livermore calls back to tell us why he won't admit that he is on meth. I think he says something comparing it to being a child molester?? He is speaking so quickly that it is kind of hard to understand. Before he even realizes it, while he is still talking, we go to break and turn off his volume.
Mindy, our wonderful webmistress, set up the Geek Argument poll on the homepage. This will be up for a little bit longer, so if you haven't, go ahead and vote. The guys go over the current results to wrap up the hour.
8pm: One of the arguments is Fruity Pebbles vs. Fruit Loops. This makes me wonder whatever happened to all of the cartoon cereal characters. You never see Count Chocula or Tony the Tiger anymore. I miss those guys.
After Dan mentions that he is creeped out by the Quaker Oats guy, Chris tells us that he eats regular oatmeal dry. That is horrible. Scott in Brentwood says the Quaker Oats guy is back on tv now. He says that they are making him like the Burger King king. That may be even creepier.
This devolves into a discussion of porridge, quail eggs, and Chinese supermarkets. I could not even begin to deliniate the conversation on the blog.
Megan in Walnut Creek calls to bring us back to the preferred hand conversation. Brad had said earlier that when "flying the simulator" he is ambidetrix. Chris tells us that he uses his non-dominant hand. I really wish I did not know any of this. Megan calls to say that her boyfriend is like Chris, asking why that phenomenon is the case. This leads Mike from Fairfield to tell us that the non-dominate hand is softer and more sensitive. This is gross.
I fortunately did not hear this, but apparently Brad asked Megan if she likes watching her boyfriend perform that. He had heard that a lot of women are turned on by that. Anna in Milbrae lets us know that she is all about that. She says that sometimes she is tired and just wants to go to sleep.
9pm: To start the hour, I bring us back to the NCAA tournament by informing Chris that his Arizona Wildcats are playing the Purdue Boilermakers instead of Kentucky. Purdue is a dangerous team this year. This of course leads us to a discussion of what Boilermakers are? Dan says their mascot is a train. Crazy ass Purdue.
When asking Brad who is tougher, the boilermaker or the wildcat, he correctly chooses boilermaker. Because, let's be honest, wildcats are really just big pussies. Of course, Chris has to bitch back at my comment, making fun of my wonderful Terrapins. We, playing Davidson, are playing yet another Wildcat team. There are too many damn teams called the Wildcats.
In talking about Richard Jeni, Chris brings up something I had said before the show. I said that I found it questionable that it was suicide. He supposedly shot himself in the face. I would think that he would put it in his mouth instead.
This somehow leads Chris to bring up that Ace is really into the crime shows. Despite being an incredibly sweet, empathetic woman, she is always watching these violent, horrifying programs. It confuses the hell out of Chris. He wonders which is the true side of her personality.
Brad is in a bit of a quandry right now. He is supposed to go to a movie with his daughter this weekend. They both want to see "300." Brad is concerned not about the violence in the movie, but whether or not there is sex. Dan and Chris question Brad's stand on this. Carlos in San Jose saw the movie and said that he thinks it will be ok.
Alex in Santa Clara said that he thought it was bad, but he is the only one. Everyone else keeps telling us how awesome it was. They all say it was action packed and that the effects were awesome.
10pm: Mike in Pacifica asks if Spartan men had sex with each other. Dan explains that in that society, when boys were teens, they were paired with an older man. That older man was their mentor and they were expected to have sex with them.
Chief in Redwood City is alone in thinking that the sex scene in "300" may be too graphic to watch with his daughter. He says it is kind of a long scene and may be uncomfortable for Brad.
The guys play a clip of William Wallace's speech in "Braveheart." This weekend I was arguing about the end of that movie. I thought Wallace was drawn and quartered at the end of the movie. My boyfriend says that you do not see that in the movie. Chris says that I was wrong. Dammit, I hope he is not listening.
The guys also briefly talk about the best man speeches in movies after this clip. Chris says that Pacino's speech in "Any Given Sunday" is supposed to be one of the best. The guys also mention Crowe's speech in "Gladiator" and Nicholson's in "A Few Good Men." Steve in San Jose thinks that you cannot have that discussion without mentioning George C. Scott in the opening scene of "Patton."
The guys were talking about the decision to give movies with smoking an "R" rating. Brock in Fremont calls in to say that he has recently quit smoking both crack and cigarettes. To him, as difficult as quitting crack was, cigarettes were far more difficult. That is really surprising. He also tells us that Denzel Washington's speech in "Training Day" is one of the best man speeches.
One of Brad's favorite speeches is actually from Shakespeare. It is the St. Crispin's Day speech in "Henry V." Brad tries to read it, but Chris has zero patience for it and keeps interrupting him with sound effects. Poor Brad.
To wrap up the show, the guys read a story about the Israeli Ambassador to El Salvador. He has been sent home in shame as he was caught naked with ball gag and bondage gear. Go Jews!!!!
Well, with that I apologize to my mother, have a good night.
