Friday, April 13th

Hey everyone. Erica here again. It's Friday!!!! Yay!!

1pm: Brad once again went to see his new love again today. She is a sweet, beautiful, older lady who runs the sushi place down the street. He is sad; however, because everytime he goes in there, she talks about Chris. He is buying inordinate amounts of sushi now, so that he can win her over.

About eight days ago, she thought that she had forgotten to give Chris wasabi in his sushi. He does not even think she did forget it. She feels horrible about the whole thing, and Chris did not come into her shop for the next three days. So, then when she saw Brad, she kept going on and on about how sorry she was.

Our very own Eeyore, Mishkin from Fremont, calls in to set the tone. He wants to know examples of when your "10% helmet-wearing retard" reveals himself. The guys are pretty down with this tone, because they think everyone needs to just accept that part of themselves.

Before we can get to Mishkin's tone, we have to get to a few things. First, there is the invention of the "

The "

futter" is just about the worst idea, ever. It is a combination of a fork and a pizza cutter. It is a long fork, with a cutter on the bottom of it, right near where your chin would be. Nothing about this makes any sense at all.

Ok, so we are finally going to play the audio from yesterday's KPIX news report. They used some footage of our show that upset the guys. Mike Sugarman did the report and called us "shock jocks." They are a little pissed at this description and want to know if the listeners agree.

I don't think that they are at all. Shock Jocks make their living by being offensive. That is their thing. This is not the case with this show and is part of the reason I enjoy being a part of the team. Howard Stern, Opie and Anthony, and Tom Leykis are shock jocks. They make a point of being distasteful. As someone who has worked with Chris and Brad for eight months, I can honestly say, that is not the case.

Do I think they have made comments that could be perceived as offensive? Of course. But, does categorize them with the Sterns of the world? Absolutely not. There are no women in the studio taking off their clothes for free breast implants.

Overall, the callers seem to agree that they are not shock jocks. We are interrupted from this by Mark in Milbrae. He calls in to complain that the guys continually say "you know." He may have a point, but throughout the conversation he keeps using big words. The thing is, he uses most of them incorrectly. Wow, that will make a great promo.

2pm: We continue asking callers about the shock jock issue. They continue to agree that this is not the case. Eric in Benecia thinks that most of the media is much more shocking than we are. The cable news networks are always focusing on the shock value.

Marie in Vallejo thinks that shock jocks are done. That it has been done to death and is not needed anymore. When asked about talking about Anna Nicole and other topical issues, she says that a mixture of both is the best solution.

Mark in Dublin calls to bash Mark from Milbrae a little bit. He says that everyone uses terms like "you know" and "um."

David in Hayward calls to say that he appreciates that the guys don't cut him off like other show hosts. Of course, Chris cuts him off with an Onion liner.

The show goes on goofily from here. Can't really explain what happens, but "you know" is said over and over again.

Oh well, with that have a good weekend, and I apologize to my mother.
