11/16/06 - Joel McHale, PS3 Madness, Mobile Movies, and Fast Food Nation
7:08 - Drive-In Mobile Movies
Remember the flashmob phenomenon? Well, here's a new twist: Mobile Movies. Its creator Brian Kennedy described how it works: one guy drives around with a projector and an FM transmitter, sends out a message specifying a time and place on his phone, and shows a movie in some dark parking lot for all the others to enjoy, drive-in style. They now have 120 chapters all over the world, including one in Cuba oddly.
7:25 - People in Line for PS3
Super Steve came back to visit the Signal Hill Best Buy, where people have been in line for days, awaiting the release of the PS3 tonight at midnight! He observed that the folks there consisted of "younger kids and older guys who may not be able to get a female partner." They talked to one of those guys, who tried to pretend that he wasn't a big dork: "This is the line for your Christmas CD signing, right?"
7:40 - Fast Food Nation
Director Richard Linklater talked about his new movie, a fictionalized version of the book of the same name that investigated the dark side of fast food industry. (Which I highly recommend, by the way.) They played a clip of an executive yelling out, "There's [beep] in the meat!" The discussion then turned into a bit of a rant by Kevin and Bean about how corporate lawyers came down on them for playing the very beginning letter of words they beep out (like "sh[beep]"). Bogus, man.
8:13 - The PS3
As if it needed any more publicity, Peter Dille, Marketing SVP for Sony Computer Entertainment, called in to promote the newest edition of the PlayStation 3. Yes, they currently have a shortage ('only' 400,000 units), but plan to have plenty in stores after Christmas.
8:30 - Listener Call-In: The PS3 Shortage - Legit, or Clever Marketing Ploy?
Everyone was convinced that Sony's PS3 shortage was just a marketing ploy to generate press, except Lightning. He tried his best to explain Sony's situation, but to no avail. So they turned to the listeners for insight. The the boys' dismay, every single one backedLightning's claim (and was 'accidently' hung up on by Kevin). This caused Bean's entire universe to turn upside-down: "But you're WRONGMAN!"
9:13 - Joel McHale
The host of E's reality TV news show, The Soup dropped by, and talked about Flavor of Love (the release form for their show actually contains of list of STDs that the show is not responsible for, should contestants contract them during its filming!); the inexplicable Dancing With the Stars phenomenon (Joel noted that his wife actually cried 3 times during finale show); and the horror of William Shatner's Show Me the Money (ridiculously easy questions, coupled with annoying tension-less tension pauses, coupled with random samba dancing).
9:50 - What It Do, Nephew?
Joel McHale stuck around for this segment as well.
A gal got to talk to Dave Grohl, and found him amazingly pleasant.
A guy caught his nephew masturbating to a picture of HIS girlfriend! Joel: "I guess that answers the question of, 'What it do, nephew?'"!
A guy laughed at an old Asian lady, all bundled up to protect herself from the sun. She then gave him the finger!
A guy was grossed out by Rachel Ray's hair hanging over the food she cooks.
Tomorrow: guests galore: Jimmy Kimmel, Tenacious D, Adam Goldberg, Movie Beat, Chester Bennington from Linkin Park, and Fred Willard.
Ok, this is going to drive me nuts, I'm hoping one of my fellow K&B geeks
can help me out. During the closing montage today, there was a clip of
Kevin telling some guest that "the conversation isn't going the way we
expected, so I'd like you to leave," and he even threatened to call
security to have the person escourted out. Who was the guest? And when
did this happen? And, while we're at it, is the clip online at the archive
or anything?
Found it! This was from an awesome February 2004 confrontation with a
Scientologist represenstative.
Ah, Skimbo, you're the best, man! A sincere thanks for that. That was
driving me nuts. It was cool to find out where that came from for the sake
of my sanity, but it was also a really entertaining read, as well. I hope
the audio pops up somewhere some day because that was awesome. Thanks
again, man!
