Wednesday, May 2nd

Hey everyone. Today should be interesting as we have UFC Champion Frank Shamrock coming in studio at 1:45. I think Chris and Brad are afraid of him.

1pm: This should be pretty fun, but the guys are wondering why Frank Shamrock would even want to fight Phil Baroni. Chris is concerned the interview will suck because he is UFC cursed. Everytime Chris is watching, the fight instantly turns into just grappleholds. He is now banned from watching UFC with his boys.

We found a video of Phil Baroni on YouTube. It is a bit disturbing, and they are going to wait to play it for Frank when he gets here. Just go to YouTube and look for "Phil The NY Badass Baroni."

From ABC News, we hear about a lawsuit going on in DC right now that just makes no sense whatsoever. A judge is suing a Korean couple for losing a pair of pants in their drycleaning facility. The thing is, he is suing them for $67 million. No, it wasn't holding a winning lottery ticket. They were just his favorite pair and he wanted to wear them on his first day as a judge.

For some reason, he includes ten years of weekend car rentals to take his clothes to an alternate dry cleaner. I'm from the DC area, why didn't he just take the Metro? Or walk? Or take a damn cab? That is absolutely insane.

I feel terrible for these people. All this legal fees are tearing apart their lives. In the article, the woman says she just wants to move back to Korea. They had offered him up to $12,000 before he came up with this unbelievable amount.

2pm: Frank Shamrock has arrived and Phil Baroni is rumoured to be calling in soon. He explains that the reason this is such a big deal is that Phil challenged him a few years ago and dropped out. There has been quite of bit of smack talking and Frank cannot wait to kick his ass.

The guys talk about there are two groups of UFC fighters. There are those in great shape like Frank and there are those who are more butterbeaning. Frank says that size is not as important as technique in this type of fighting.

Frank did an appearance on "Walker: Texas Ranger." They ask how far you have to dial things back to make him look good. At first, Chuck Norris was supposed to beat him in a fight, but instead they rewrote the script so that he was shot instead.

The guys ask him about the showy aspect of UFC. There is a lot of talking and staging in the fights. Frank's answer is simply, "We are in the business of marketing. We are not in the business of fighting." That is part of why he walked away.

We hear from Phil Baroni. He starts off swearing and angry at us. Furthermore, he says that Frank is full of crap and is a money hungry whore. After a few minutes they are done with Phil and say goodbye.

We actually get a call from Fort Stewart, Georgia thanking Frank for training under him. He is in the military and says the skills Frank taught him have really helped him to move up.

The calls light up for Frank. Everyone seems to be really behind him in this fight. After the way things went with Phil, it certainly seems like Frank is the good guy. He even gets a call from a little girl who seems to have a big crush on him.

Well, with that we are off until our double shift tomorrow. I apologize to my mother, have a good day.
