Monday, April 30th Show 2
Hey everyone. Here we are for the second edition of The Gray Area for the day. The boys are a little loopy today, as the early show started at noon today.
7pm: The guys are a little confused as there is no traffic despite the freeway meltdown. They have been preparing and preparing for miserable traffic, yet looking at Google traffic, everything looks great. Even Berkeley looks green at 7pm on a weekday. That is unheard of. Brad points out that they may be the first djs to ever complain about the lack of traffic.
Brad is at least happy that he was able to pass the Business Ethics test for CBS. He kept failing but finally was able to pass on his sixth attempt.
Apparently there is a new drug out there, cheese. Yes, it is called cheese. A nice little extra value meal of intoxicants. It is a mixture of black tar heroin and Tylenol PM tablets. That's weird, but once Chris explains that it comes from Texas, I understand. The guys cannot understand what the Tylenol PM is doing in this concoction. Heroin laughs in the face of Tylenol.
In Japan, there is a yearly contest we have just heard of, crying sumo. It is where sumo wrestlers face off while holding babies. The one who makes the baby cry first is the victor. It is supposed to be good luck for the children's future. Why do you ever want to encourage babies to cry? Isn't it a mission in itself to get them to stop?
We return to our earlier discussion of types of drivers in traffic. We came up with a pretty extensive list in the early show, but are hoping to expand upon it now. Brad has admitted that he is "the berzerker." The enormously pissed off driver.
Here is the rest of the list:
The Monk - the overly serene driver
Mr. Honry - the guy who lays on the horn
Mr. Spaceman- the driver infuriating Mr. Horny by leaving space in between cars
Entitlement Guy- the guy in the fancy car who switches lanes at the last possible moment
Haha, Mishkin in Fremont, our very own Eeyore calls in and shockingly says he is the monk. Wow, that's a shocker. What's great is that he says he can at times be the berzerker. I would love to see that.
8pm: Dan in Livermore is my enemy. He is the teaser. This is the person who leaves some space in between cars and moves up right before the lane changer can get in. As a lane changer myself, I absolutely hate Dan in Livermore. I would really like to key his car.
Bill in Pleasanton is the scariest of the drivers. He is worse than the berzerker, as he will follow you home if you flip him off. Bill needs to relax a little bit, and coming from me, that says a lot.
Jason in Napa comes up with a name for he and Mishkin. They are the bipolar driver. Calm as a monk until something clicks and they turn into berzerker.
Andrew in Oakland deems himself the conductor. He is the guy pretending he is the conductor while stuck in traffic. Surprisingly he likes both this station and classical music. He can easily be confused with the monk, as per his calm nature while rocking out to Beethoven.
9pm: Calls are stacked on this, but first we have to give an example. Brad came from extremely different driving conditions moving from Fresno to Pacifica. We play a clip of Brad on his minidisk recorder bitching about being lost on the highways. He is confused by all the different highways. Once stuck in traffic, he quickly descends into insanity.
Dan in San Ramon claims to be "the Fonz." When people cut him off, he just gives them a big thumbs up. This is to take the steam out of the berzerker's supposed victory. Chris wants to join Dan in this category.
Josh in San Jose is always stoned in traffic. He claims it makes things better and turns him more into the monk. Greg in Palo Alto is the spotter. He tries to find the hot girl on the road and stay with her. But, hot girls are always insane drivers.
We finally get a call from the blaster. James in Fairfield says that the slower the traffic, the louder the music. He used to be the stoner, but got busted so has turned to music for his salvation.
Moving off this subject, Chris bitches a little about HBO's "Entourage." He loves the show but is upset that it has lost its steam. Even Jeremy Piven is not getting the lines he needs. I just watch Food Network. I am not as important as Chris and Brad so I don't have the kick ass Comcast package they do.
So, we have kept fighting about when and if The Simpsons have jumped the shark. Apparently, the TV Guide Channel has a show specifically about this, hosted by Christopher Knight. They asked Matt Groening about when this happened to The Simpsons. He said that they probably have several times, but have continually jumped back.
To wrap up the marathon, we speak to Rich in San Francisco. He drives a stick and has to be a little silly to be sane. He will swerve within his lane, to see how close he can get to the next car without a collision.
Well, with that we are thankfully done for the night. We will be back for a day show tomorrow. So, I apologize to my mother, have a good night.
