The Sandbox Recap 10.30.09 by Intern Sabrina
Happy almost Halloween, everyone! The guys are in rare form this morning as they try to recover from last night's 1989 Prom Party.
Info Burrito in 101.7 Seconds
The Harvard Implicit Association has an online test designed to uncover your hidden prejudices. Bruins fell to the Devils 2-1 last night. Hundreds of fishermen are rallying in Boston today to protest unrealistic fishing regulations. The U2 broadcast on YouTube was the site's biggest event ever. Happy Birthday to Mr. Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale. Paranormal Activity is the most profitable movie of all time. Muse Uprising is still the #1 alternative song in the country. Parts of Nebraska, Colorado, and Kansas are all under 40 inches of fresh snow.
Levi Johnston
Even though Sarah Palin resigned as Governor, she is not going away anytime soon. Levi Johnston, the father of her grandson, is out to make her life miserable. He was on CBS recently dishing some dirt on the former Governor of Alaska. Fletcher kind of likes this because right now Palin is on the same level as Jerry Springer. Special Ed thinks Levi is a caveman. He can't even string together a coherent sentence! But is he good looking, Fletcher asks? Sounds irrelevant, but Levi IS planning to pose for Playgirl. The guys sort of digressed after this comment. Do women still read Playgirl? Are they even into porn at all? A few of our listeners admit to watching porn, but a naked man on a bearskin rug just isn't appealing. Then again, maybe you just have to find a guy who does it for you. Kind of like Ryan Reynolds does it for Ed.
ANYWHO, back to the issue at hand. Here's the video of Levi on CBS:
The Sandbox Office Report
Well everyone, it has finally arrived! Nine years in the making... The Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day is out in theaters! If you're a fan of the first one, you're probably going to have a problem with this one; it's a little absurd. But that's not the problem. This movie just tried to be too many things artistically.
One thing Fletcher's not going to push his way through mobs of people to see is This is It. It's behind the scenes of Michael Jackson as a musician. His huge fans will go to this and be super into it, and that's great for them.
Gentlemen Broncos is also out this weekend, an indie flick that looks pretty great. This is the guy who did Napoleon Dynamite, and everyone loved that. Except for Special Ed, who will be skipping this movie. Maybe he's right to do so- it could be a huge disappointment.
In conclusion, you don't really have to spend money at the movies this weekend. You're better off staying home with Netflix.
The Qdoba Mega Robo Thunder Phone Query
A few weeks ago, a couple guys from Bennington, Vermont tried to steal the huge Chili's logo sign off the roof. I wonder what they planned to do with it.. ? Anyway, the guys want to know: what have YOU stolen? Fletcher stole a boat once. Well, sort of. He swiped a toy boat from Target when he was a kid. Ed stole something a little bigger - an amp from his old job. Charlie had that job before Ed did. And although coined "Captain Stealer," he denies stealing anything.
All you Sandboxers are thieves! One girl stole baby Jesus out of the manger of a Christmas display. Another caller and his three year-old son both accidentally stole tape measures from Home Depot. I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree... We also got someone who stole a chair from Fenway (that's right) and a guy who stole someone's tire when he got a flat. Tisk, tisk.
Name That Tune
It happened again this week! Our first caller was the winner when he correctly named Fiona Apple's "Criminal." Congratulations to Henry! He'll be attending the Metric show at the House of Blues next month!
Pop Trash
Michael Ian Black was on the phone this morning! Ed wants to know: is Philadelphia the worst city in the country? But Michael says no. Fletcher feels like he's turning into a scrooge at a young age because he goes out on Halloween so he can avoid all the children. And now he wants to know if that makes him a bad person. Michael says yes, yes it does. Michael doesn't have that problem - there are no trick-or-treaters on his road. He has to take his kids to other neighborhoods in the area. Fletcher doesn't have a problem with that, but he hates when people go trick-or-treating in towns other than their own. Michael doesn't seem to care either way. His poor neighbors spend their hard-earned cash on candy to feed his rich, rich children.
E-Bag
The guys got lots of emails about the 1989 Prom Party last night. One guy had a ball and is now drunk at work, trying not to talk to anyone. It was well worth it though, as he woke up with two new numbers in his phone. And one of them is labeled "girl with light saber." Sounds like a good night. They also got an email about this new rum: The Kraken. Looks pretty gooood.
