Wednesday, April 25th
Hey everyone. Happy Wednesday! We are all a little nervous today, because our new boss, Dan Mason is here today. He is the new head of CBS radio. Everyone is all spiffed up today as a result of this.
1pm: The guys start off talking about this visit. They point out that while all the men are all dressed up, none of the women really are. Well, except webmaster, Mindy, she is.
If you haven't heard, Rosie O'Donnell is off The View. They were unable to meet an agreement on a contract, so she is done in June. Whatever will be do without Rosie? Chris compares Rosie to an animal that leaves its poison and moves along, but can't remember what that is. I guess Bill Parcells, which would have been funny, but my mic wasn't on. Dammit!!
Frank in Hayward informs us that in fact it is the komodo dragon, yes the komodo dragon. Geeky in Rob in SF tells us that the komodo dragon is not poisonous, the bacteria in their mouth is.
Over break, I got a call from a telemarketer. The thing is, it was a recorded message asking me to call them back. Um... who in the hell is going to call that number back? We would like to interrupt you to sell you something, but we're too busy to talk to you right now. Please call us back when it would be more convenient for us.
The guys read over our list of nerd categories from last night. It was pretty damn thorough. We also replay my interview with Lincoln, a particularly nerdy attendee of the Ren Faire. He makes that noise that only the biggest geeks can make. I can't even possibly explain it.
The best thing possible happens after this audio airs. Dimitri in Rohnert Park calls to defend Lincoln about the heat of the Ren Faires. He lets us know that as we have not been to the other Ren Faires in the area and is somewhat pretentious about the circuit. Of course, Dimitri is sent to the Pit of Mediocrity. Fantastic.
Brian in Santa Clara tells us about in high school when his friends played guns in the woods. Not paintball, but guns like little kids. They painted spray guns black and made "bang bang" noises at each other.
2pm: We get a call from Jeff in San Jose, who is pretty into "Star Wars." He went to a Ren Faire dressed in a "Star Wars" costume. Some of the faire goers wanted to take pictures with them, upsetting the Ren geeks. They actually asked Jeff and his friends to leave.
Eric in Concord tells us about a dealer friend who is into the online RPGs. He will trade online gold from the game for actual weed. That is just bad business.
We go over a list of the "11 Guy Movie Classics (And Why They Secretly Suck)" from Cracked.com. Starting backwards, we begin with "Top Gun." Of course, they discuss the homoerotic themes of the movie.
"Terminator" comes in at #9. We all know why it's a classic, but this is why it sucks. The writer comes up with a point I never thought about. If the robot is so bad ass, why does he need big muscles? Also, of course, Schwarzenegger's acting.
"Platoon" ranks at #8. The reason it sucks is simply that "Full Metal Jacket" was so much better.
Chris is mad that "The Shining" is on the list, because it scared the crap out of him. They are both happy about "Scarface" at #3. Yeah, I think "Scarface" is pretty overrated.
More Guy Movies That Suck:
- Enter the Dragon
- Commando
- Rambo
- Army of Darkness
- Die Hard
- Chinese Connection
"Enter the Dragon" leads us to a discussion of "Kentucky Fried Movie." Chris, Brad and I all absolutely love this movie. It was made by the makers of "Airplane" and if you haven't seen it, you absolutely have to. Seriously, f-ing hilarious.
So, with that, we are done for the day. We will be on tomorrow night from 7-11. See you then and I apologize to my mother.

Apologize to your mother?
Only one word can sum that up: "Shame"
