Monday, April 23rd
Hey everyone. Hope you had a good weekend, especially yesterday being so incredibly beautiful.
1pm: The guys start off bitching a bit about the phone system. It is set-up so that out of area calls cannot get through our 800 number. When Chris asked about this, he got no explanation whatsoever. Oh well.
From here, we go through all the songs they have uselessly downloaded from ITunes, charged to our boss' credit card. Some highlights include Air Supply and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. I think if the Feds looked at Chris' downloads, they might red flag him for serial killer status.
Joey in Concord asks what we think about the over twenty tons of cocaine that just came into Oakland. He is in the Coast Guard and is watching it come in now. When he tells us they are going to incinerate the blow, we wonder if that is going to freebase the whole East Bay. Joey reassures us that at the temperature they are going to burn it, it will not affect anyone.
All this coke was estimated at 230 million dollars. That must be one angry drug lord who got highjacked off the coast of Panama.
I sent the guys the website of a new boy band, Chai5. It is so incredibly lame and bad. They brag that they have played the day school circuit. Now no one will ever think the Jews are not lame.
I found a clip of an interesting news story online today. I sent it to Chris and Brad for one reason. It is the story of a woman breastfeeding her seven-year old. If there is one thing that will creep Chris out to the core of his soul, it is this video. He won't play the video, but at least I accomplished my mission.
I got Chris to watch some of this, and Brad is able to make Chris incredibly uncomfortable asking if he was breast fed as a baby. He claims he doesn't know. How does he not know?
2pm: Ok, so we finally play the trailer from "Combover: The Movie." Yes, there is a movie out on the Sundance Channel about the phenomenon known as the combover. It's really weird and they have some incredibly bad examples of this hairstyle.
Chris has a receding hairline and is frustrated with the current state it is in. It is kind of in that middle place, where he is definitely not bald. He was playing with his part to see what would look better, and accidentally ended up in the beginning stages of the combover. Fortunately, he realized this grievous error before it went too far.
When Brad moved to Pacifica, it was his first time moving an entire house. He did not really think it through and took way too much stuff. He did not feel like doing all the sorting needed to make things more efficient.
Finally, this weekend he started to go through all this stuff. He finally bit the bullet and started throwing things away. Being that he is a hardcore packrat, this is an ordeal.
There was, however, one thing Brad could not throw away. He actually brought it in to show us. What is it, a cardboard box full of old porn mags. Only in this job, is it acceptable to bring a box of porn into the office. There is even a three-ring binder filled with porn trading cards. That is disgusting.
Phil in Oakland has a thorough collection of porn cards. As an expert, he informs him that Brad's may be too recent to be valuable. Phil says that the cards are a part of Americana, particularly because they are regional. This is creeping me out.
Ok, well with that, we are done for the day. We have a night show tomorrow as the A's have a day game. I apologize to my mother, have a good day.
