Hey everyone. Well, we are on at night tonight. This week we are alternating day and night. So, tomorrow is a day show. We also have tickets to the A's vs. the Devil Rays all week.
7pm: We start off catching up a little bit. Chris brings up the rubber ducky purchases by the Virginia Tech shooter. According to The Smoking Gun, he bought three dozen rubber ducks and a sailor suit for one of them. Chris asks what is the craziest thing you bought on Ebay while intoxicated.
In catching up with email, the guys read an email from listener, Andrew. He was upset with NWWL guest Janay for calling me a "brokedown beezy."
The guys play the clip of Tracy Morgan on something on a local news morning show. The poor anchor has no idea what to do, especially when Morgan begins to disrobe. It is so incredibly awkward. The guy tries his best to handle it, but does not realize he should just shut up for a minute.
I also found a Chicago local tv commercial for
- People who speak elf

We wrap up the hour talking about Chase Wright, Yankee pitcher who gave up four back-to-back homeruns. This was his first game up from the minors. That is horrible. The guys go through what must be going through his head.
8pm: Carlo's car was outside and over break I showed the guys his broken sideview mirror. He was going through the alley and tried to make it through and heard a smack. That sucks.
So, after we found the Moo and Oink commercial, I found their wonderful website. On the site, they have MooTV, which has a commercial vault. I directed Chris to play "Power Meeting," both #1 and #2. They didn't like them as much, but I thought the Moo and Oink superhero was pretty funny.
The guys read over Bob Saget's rider from The Smoking Gun. They have admitted several times that they are not huge fans of Saget. The one strange part is that his opener may not use dirty material and/or a musical instrument. I guess he does not want to be shown up.
Vern in Alameda claims that he worked with Saget in Salt Lake City. He says that he was a complete jackass in the situation. He was supposedly very pompous and uncool. What rubbed him the wrong way, is that he kept mentioning that in other venues, he would be dirtier.
Brad gets more and more worked up and now wants to challenge Bob Saget to anything, preferably something physical. I think Brad really just wants to beat him up. With Brad being 6'6" and Saget being 6'4," this should be interesting.
So, Adam is staging a contest at Alcatraz. They have two listeners participating: one gangbanger and one huge nerd. They will be competing against one another in some sort of battle of survival. The producers became extremely excited when the nerd asked, "Can I could bring his ghost hunting equipment?" Umm... wow, that sounds super cool.
The guys want to know if you can out geek a ghostbuster? Chris says no, Brad doesn't want to answer. The reason being, that T wants them to start going to cemeteries to look for ghosts.
We get a lot of great calls on this. Everyone of them trumps the ghosthunter in geekdom. Here are the highlights:
- Bigfoot Hunters
- Perfect Klingon Speakers
- Competitive Yo-Yoer's.
I present Chris and Brad with an old sound clip from my trip to the Renaissance Faire several months ago. I think the guy I interviewed, Lincoln, may be one of the geekiest. He is just so incredibly awkward and tells us he likes to photograph people in their costumes.
9pm: We play a clip of some D&D nerds talking about being tortured in high school for being vampires. Brad says that far exceeds the ghosthunters in the kingdom of nerditude.
Simon in SF calls in about his geeky thing. He plays Warhammer miniatures. He has about 8,000 that he has handpainted. He even carries an army in his trunk just in case. That is ridiculous. Brad asks if you get to take your opponents miniatures if you win. Simon says no, disappointing us all.
I throw in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle girl. She has to live with her parents because she spends all her money on the gear. She has all the costumes and only eats pizza, to be authentic. Chris still says no, saying that Brad and I are not grasping the true geekiness of the ghosthunter.
Other Attempts to Trump Ghosthunting:
- People who speak elf
- World War II modelers
- Live Action RPGs.
I just thought of a great one and am so excited. They have done specials on this on the Discovery Channel. It is people who have undergone massive body modification to look more like animals. There is a leopard guy, a lizard guy and a cat guy. And they are incredibly strange. This starts to shake Chris on his convictions.
Even More Geek Categories Mentioned:
- World of Warcraft Enthusiasts
- Jedi Religion Believers
- People Who Speak Esperanto
- Tornado Chasers
- Mall Piano and Organ Salesman
- Comic Book Guy (of course, how did we forget him)
- Air Guitar Competitor
Here is an
The guys make me choose which is the most attractive of all of these. Ick. I finally say the Sasquatch hunter or the Yo-yo competitor.
10pm: Scott in Santa Rosa calls to give us more information on LARP. He tells us that they do rock, paper, scissors to see who gets to say they are punching. They wear vampire costumes and roll die in the grass. When someone hits you, you have to write it down on your sheet.
Thomas in San Jose throws in two things he does. One, he plays Runescape, an online rpg like World of Warcraft. He says the graphics are really crappy, but is completely addictive. Then, he tells us he does Rubix Cube competition.
Logan in SF calls about cup stacking. It is becoming really popular, but these people do it at incredible speeds.
We have gotten two calls from people leaving the Megadeth concert. Both were hammered and both were dropped for cursing. That's a shocker. Brad is kinda pissed because he did not know about this.
So, it was Brad's birthday yesterday. His wife, T, threw him a little party. Thanks for inviting me, by the way :( They are all sitting around, having a good time, and T tells a little story about their daughter. She is twelve and has been asking T a bunch of uncomfortable questions. One of these questions was what is the right age for her to start having sex. T tells Brad this at the party and this is an incredibly hot button issue for him.
Brad asked T what she said in response. T is prefacing her answer and Brad is getting more and more impatient. Chris is watching this, unable to contain his laughter. Chris realizes that T is playing him, not just talking like she normally does.
Finally, after about twelve minutes, Chris is about to wet himself in laughter. But, when she realized he was about to blow a cork, she tells him that it was about 17 or 18. Of course, first she went over about ten scenarios.
The guys wrap up with news stories about a mutilated penis, a croc with a mean kid in his belly, and a man who won 25K for turning 100 years old.
Chris asked me to attach this, it is the Japanese Air Sex
video. You do absolutely need to see this. So, with that, I apologize to my mother, have a good night. We will be on tomorrow in the afternoon, and hopefully we will actually give away some tickets.

I dont think you can get any geekier than live action RPG...
"Lightening bolt!"
Hahahahaha, fucking nerds.
Erica, I do the whole ghost hunting thing here in Fresno and I know of a haunted ghost tour up in San Fransisco. I can forward you the info if the guys are interested. Also, the USS Hornet is haunted so that may get the guys to go. There are tons of places up in the Bay. If you want I can forward a list.
Happy Birthday Brad!!
You guys already posess the crown that reigns over the "Kngdom of Nerditude"...those little plastic helmets you must cary atop your mishapen skulls.

Have a great day now
