K&B Dodger Day is tomorrow. Anyone going? If so, have a great time, and send me pictures or post highlights!
Today's Show:1:44 - Batman SchoolPreston DuCarr (sp?) is a personal trainer who used to weigh 480 lbs. "I was more like The Penguin than Batman." Upon reading about Batman, he was inspired by the story of an ordinary man who remakes himself into a superdude by sheer will power. Now he trains others! No, not to be vigilantes, but in strength and conditioning, nutrition, self-defense, and even financial investments AND weapons training, for only $75 a week! He works with a fishy-sounding side company for the investment thing, however, so be warned. He offered 3 months free to KROQ listeners: 818-445-2582. Ralph can't wait to sign up: "Bat-arangs for everyone!"
2:00 - Listener Call-In: Actor BoycottsWould you boycott an actor's movie just because you disagree with their private-life behaviors and beliefs? They talked to a woman who won't see
Mr. and Mrs. Smith because of Brad's alleged affair with Angelina, and
Cinderella Man because of Russell Crowe. Woody Allen's also on her list, but oddly, her view doesn't apply to politicians, as she admitted she would vote for Clinton again!
Bean: "Lemme get this straight, you wouldn't pay 10 bucks to see a guy's movie because he might have cheated, yet you'd vote for him to run the country?? I chastise you in public, Diana."
Other boycotters called in with their thoughts, and the boys tried to understand why women particularly seem to assume absolute worst about a male actor immediately, like Brad. One woman couldn't help but base it all solely on the fact that "the timing is suspicious." Bean's wife used to love Bing Crosby. But when she found out that he was a child abuser, she wouldn't allow his music to be played again.
Ralph: "She sure showed him! Bing is pissed! Oh wait, he's been dead for 20 years!" Kevin observed that maybe it's females projecting their insecruities. Another woman boycots Woody Allen movies, because "you shouldn't raise your own wife!" Ralph went into Woody Allen mode: "Hey, don't knock it unless you try it! She's jealous because I've got an incredibly hot Asian wife."
Caller: "I AM an incredibly hot Asian!" "Oh? Maybe we can go out later!"
2:40 Ralph's Movie BeatCrystal - Billy Bob plays a guy racked with guilt because of injurying his family in acar accident, goes to prison, and tries reconciling with them. No, it's not a wacky comedy. "I hear really good things about it."
High Tension - a college girl tracks down her friend, who was kidnapped by a serial killer. "Another HIlarious comedy. Seriously, it's supposed to be ultra-violent and dark."
The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl - "But, if you want to go the other way. This one's in 3-D! What more do you need??" Kevin pointed out that he'll be seeing this, and that Robert Rodriguez is amazing. They played a lame-sounding clip in scene with George Lopez. Silent pause.
Ralph: "Yeah. Good luck, Kevin. Did you hear me mention,
George Lopez is in it??
The Honeymooners - Cedric takes over the Jackie Gleason role of the classic TV show. Ralph noted how sitcoms are based on the personalities of the oritinal actors, and their premises are always lame. Therefore, trying to make a movie out of them never works.
Mr. and Mrs. Smith - "I heard everybody went to see this...except Lisa." "That's marital problems taken to the 9th degree, when you take out the assault weapons! So much fun to watch, and not just the action! They actually have a good script and a relationship that develops." Bean: "What about the part when Angelina says 'Hold me like you did on Naboo? '" "Wrong movie Bean." "Whaaaaa?" "Also, Angelina wears a vinyl bustier, complete with whips and fishnet stockings..."
3:00 - Adam CorollaThe other manager of the celebrity softball game at K&B Dodger Day talked about how "they're taking it one game at a time, not looking ahead, and trying to play within ourselves. " He'll train his team to play 'Corolla Ball': "lots of napping and masturbating."
Later, they brought up his latest scheme, which he's apparently been pitching on Loveline: to replace the 'Marco Polo' pool game with his own name. "They didn't even have pools 800 years ago! Marco's had a good run, it's time to change. What, he brought Top Ramen back from the East...and spread venereal disease."
Bean: "Who needs venereal disease in the pool, is that what you're sayin'?"
3:45 - A Damsel and her Cat in DistressJessica in Huntington Beach has a cat who was poisoned. He's better now...until he went up a 30-foot palm tree 4 days ago, and hasn't come down yet. Bean: "Maybe she hates you! You tried to kill her a week ago, what makes you think she wants to come back to your house?"
Adam: "1. The cat could be protesting something. 2. The cat WILL come down -- as soon as it dies!" Anyway. they're asking for anyone who can help. Adam's still thinking about other things, though: "Jessica, do you have a pool?"
4:00 - Rob SchneiderDeuce Bigelow talked about how he learned to be a really good hitter for his new movie, so he's ready for the K&B Dodger Day Celebrity Game. Adam's still fixated, however: "Rob, do you have a pool at home? Could you replace 'Marco Polo' with 'Adam Corolla?'"
Rob: "I'll get on that this afternoon!"
4:15 - Ralph Showbiz Report Adam was still talking about his Adam Corolla Pool Game campaign: "Marco Polo was a racist, a pedophile..."
Ralph: "That game is probably how he used to find the kids!"
Lindsay Lohan attributes her weight loss to stress from her dad's troubles: exhaustion and dehydration. "Why can't celebrities just take a nap and a sip of water?"
Reportedly, in a drinking competition Burt Reynolds out-drank Russell Crowe, but it turns out he pranked the hard-living actor by just drinking tonic. Bean had read that Russell has to call his wife every day at a certain time to make sure he's not drinking, cheating, etc.
Adam: "That's the exact opposite of Bean's wife, who's
praying he leaves the house!"
September will see the release of a special
3 disc set of the 70s "Tony Orlando and Dawn Show." Yes, Ralph was furious about Batman's lack of availability. Adam (Ralph's ex-roomie) revealed that Ralph's mom sewed him Batman costume when he was well into his 20s. "It was an OLD costume -- she just had to let it out a little bit." Ralph also replayed the classic Shmeckfest song featuring Kevin, Bean, and Tony Orlando (from 1991) to the boys' shame.
A caller said that he actually did the "Adam Corolla game" at Raging Waters on Saturday, along with a lifeguard there!
Adam: "[Sniff] You're my hero!"
Monday: a recap of of K&B Dodger Day, an expert on medical marujuana, a Michael Jackson update, and classic Kevin and Bean airchecks from their original audtiion tapes to KROQ! Should be AWESOME!
Bean: "I don't like to get people in trouble, and want harmony and love in the workplace, but I have to read this listener's email: 'I saw Kat flying a kite made out of Tami's skin. Just ugly. '"
Ralph: "Yeah, yeah, Rock Me Amadeus..."
