The show was broadcast live from Caesars Palace today, the site of the "K&B F* Monogamy Swingers Party" over the weekend - and Omar's surprise birthday party. In fact, most everyone was working with hardly any sleep. Or in Kevin's case, without any at all. So they were in various states of sleepiness, hung over, and/or drunkeness (Again, in Kevin's case, all 3) All except Bean, of course, who had left the party at 9pm!

7:10 - Swingers Party Recap

The gang talked about highlights from the party the night before:

- Every girl was mad at Kevin for calling them fat. Oddly, the one person Kevin talked to most was the biggest girl there! Kevin noted that he had actually brought a scale with him to Vegas, but couldn't bring himself to take it ot the party.  Bean noted that it was the most attractive crowd they've had at any K&B party. But then Bean also left by 9pm.

- Ralph had a couple who was furious that no one else there was into hardcore bondage and bestiality.

- Lots of nudity was going around: apparently, girls were flashing on the Southwest flight over, people were having sex on the plane, Kevin was surrounded by bare breasts on the dance floor at one point, and a girl even threw her dress over his head! Unfortunately, Kevin didn't remember a thing, and even accused them of making it all up. This led into...

7:28 - Game: Does Kevin Know? Vegas Edition
For tickets to Jack Johnson's concert at UCLA, listeners had to guess whether Kevin would remember Vegas-related facts that he *should* know. Things like the name of the mayor of Las Vegas, what TSA stands for, the name of the restaurant they were sitting in, 3 Killers songs, and who stabbed Caesar. In his trashed state, Kevin missed them all, going 0-5. Bean thought it was the best/most entertaining game of "Does Kevin Know" ever.  

8:10 - Internet Roundup By Dave
Another crew member in real bad shape was Dave. He had apparently lost his voice on SATURDAY, and was completely hoarse by this time. Naturally, the boys thought it would be funny to have him introduce the new videos in the Internet Roundup at KROQ.com. Within minutes after he finished, he was fast asleep.

8:26 - The Last Comic Standing Winner
Iliza Shlesinger, the first woman, and youngest, winner of Last Comic Standing dropped by to promote her appearance at Bally's through the 27th. The boys decided to replace Lisa with her for traffic reports. She even did the report, and theh boys hired her on the spot.Lisa said her prayers had been answered.

9:18 - More Swingers Party Highlights: The Guy Who Had Sex on the Plane Ride Over
The boys talked to a party-goer who just couldn't wait until the swingers party - he joined the Mile High Club on the flight over!  He told of how he got his girlfriend to join him (he pushed her into the bathroom), the reaction of the other passengers, and whether they hooked up with any other couples after last night's party (yes). Now THAT's a weekend, right there!

9:33 - Ralph Character: Criss Angel Drops By
Since they were in Vegas, Criss Angel dropped by to talk about the wussy David Blaine and his own Vegas act, where he - of course - talks about his dead dad, and yells "AAAAAAUUUGGGHHH!".  Bean wondered if there was anything he could do for the nearly-comatose Kevin. Criss was stumped, yelling, "I'm not a magician!"

Tomorrow: "Let's Talk About Megan Fox", Harvey Levin, people with f-ed up names, and a mother/daughter porn team!

Catching up on some shows. I'll be really busy at work this week and taking a day of or 2 next week, so it may be spotty for the next 2 weeks or so.  Sorry.

Anyway, you can keep up to date at the K&B Archive.

7:12 - More Swinging Couples
Scary news: Jed the Fish wants to go to the swingers party too! Although he'd be entertaining to have, the boys feared for everyone else at the party. More listeners called in to make their case for attending the party.    

7:31 - Ralph's Movie Beat

What We Do is Secret - As actor Shane West talked abou yesterday, this is based on the true story of the 70s punk rock group The Germs, and includes their ledgendary interview with Rodney on the Roq!

The House Bunny - Yes, this looks utterly predictable but the boys love Anna Faris. AND it's got Katherine Mcphee!  Ralph gave it two boners up.

Hamlet 2 - The funny Steve Coogan stars as a failed actor/drama teacher who writes a sequel to Hamlet. Not only do you have Steve, but also Catherine Keener (ding!), and Elizabeth Shue (ding!)  playing herself! "Looks great."

Death Race - Jason Statham plays a guy who races and, well, there's death. And explosions. And cars with flame throwers.  "How am I NOT going to this movie??"

The Rocker - Rainn Wilson from The Office stars as a drummer gets kicked out of a rock band just as they sign their first deal, but then gets a second chance. Ralph saw this and loved it, citing its heart and humor.  

7:45 - Kevin Smith
I missed this segement, but Kevin Smith dropped by to promote the Crazy 4 Cult art show at Gallery 1988, showcasing odes to cult movies.

8:12 - Anna Faris
Kevin joined the gang in interviewing Anna Faris in The House Bunny.

8:28 - More Kevin Smith
Kevin talked about his upcoming Zack and Miri Make a Porno (and how he successfully and nobly argued before the ratings board  - much like Clarence Darrow - to lower its rating from an NC-17 to an R), his screening of Watchmen (he loved it), and another unnamed movie that he got to screen that he loved (hint: the stars trek in it).

9:12 - Kevin Nealon
Kevin Nealon also dropped in to promote his Irvine Improv gig, the filming of Weeds, working with legends Lee Majors and Albert Brooks ono the show, and his book, Yes You're Pregnant But What About Me? (thoughts on having a baby at 53).


In "What It Do, Nephew", a listener made an Instant Request to have both Jed the Fish and Rodney sing Don't Bogart. The boys obliged.

7:15 - How to Go To College for Almost Free
Author Ben Kaplan called in to talk about his book, which gives tips on how to find and win any of the thousands of scholarships that are out there.  He himself scored about two dozen scholarships, ranging from organizations like the Klingon Language Institute to Coca Cola.  The trick is to target the really obscure ones, like the one offered by The Western Nude Sunbathing Society. Mainly, all you have to do for these is write an essay. Plus, keep in mind that there are plenty of scholarships available for grad school, adult school, kids, women going back to school, etc.

7:30 - Ralph Character: The Gay Mi5 Officer
Mi5 - England's version of the FBI - is now actively recruiting gays. A recruitment officer called in to talk about the things these officers can expect in training, like lessons in how to handle really long, powerful guns, surveillance (and being surveilled), nude hand-to-hand combat, how to be debriefed, and how to swallow and suppress their gag reflex - for cyandie capsules of course!  

8:15 - Kathy Griffin
The comedienne talked about filming My Life on the D List (and her multiple Emmy noms), attending Barack Obama's fundraiser, and Ralph's lack of personal hair care. She also stuck around to interview prospective swinger couples and Ralph's Showbiz Beat.

8:40 - More Swinger Couples
More swinger couples called in to get into the K&B F* Monogamy Swingers Party this weekend, including a guy whose girlfriend was a stripper (!) and a girl who wanted to go, mainly for her boyfriend, who is going to Iraq soon.

9:14 - Shane West
The actor you probably know best from ER talked about his new movie called What We Do Is Secret.   Is it has an curious KROQ connection, as it is about the legendary 70's punk rock group, The Germs.  He plays lead singer Darby Crash, a wild personality who died at the age of just 22. Interestingly, Shane also plays with the real band in real gigs too.

The KROQ connection was regarding their real-life legendary appearance on the Rodney on the Roq show, which is recreated in the movie! They played the clip of this scene from the movie the band, which featured the band abusing Rodney badly by horsing around, giving facetious answers, and cussing, completely flustering poor Rodney. Kevin pointed out that the actor who played Rodney was WAY too lucid compared to the real guy.  It's only playing at the Landmark Nuart and Edwards Irvine University 6.

Sorry, I missed the Jason Statham interview, but he promoted his new movie Death Race.

8:15 - Rainn Wilson
The actor who plays Dwight Shrute in The Office dropped by to talk about starring in a new movie called The Rocker.   Ralph has seen it, and loved it. Critics generally like it too, except NY Magazine's David Edelstein, whom - as Rainn quoted - called Rainn a "misshapen fellow whose features swim in the middle of his face, and whose movements are the opposite of fluid." He also talked about learning to be a rock and roll drummer, appearing naked (except for a "modesty pouch"), filming The Office, and how he is holding Jenna Fischer hostage in the trunk of his car unless The Rocker makes at least $18.7 million in its opening weekend.

9:10 - More Swinger Couples
With Kevin making fun of the ugliness of swingers (or so he believes) by asking if they had reinforced the floors of the party site, more curious swingers called in to get into the party. One was a hot girl, a guy who once nearly had a swinger experience with his buddy and his girlfriend (only to have the girls get cold feet at the last minute), and a gal whose husband always wanted to have 'a girl who wears white pants'. The boys feared for the day AFTER this party...

9:29 - Ralph Character: The Fake President of China on the Fake Olympics
First there was the faked fireworks. Then the lip-syncing little girl.  Now, it's been revealed that that scene where 56 kids represented each of the Chinese ethnic groups wasn't exactly authentic either: it turns out now find out that 90% not actual ethnic group. The boys called up President Hu, who admitted that not only were the whole Olympics actually a giant CGI project from ILM, he himself was a English guy. His voice then changed from the crude Asian accent into a proper British one.  


Tomorrow: Shane West's movie about germs, a cheerleading group banned for excessive hazing, the author of a book how to go to college for almost free, and Kathy Griffin.

 

7:13 - Spencer Pratt and...Tom Leykis?
The Hills had their premiere episode for their 4th season last night. A listener had a related Instant Request: How would a conversation with the 2 biggest chauvinist douchebags around - Spencer Pratt and Tom Leykis - sound like? The boys obliged, and a hilariously nonsensical conversation was the result.  It went something like this:

"Hoodies." "Reeeeally?" "Denim." "DO YOU CARE?!"  "Hyde." "A-a-a-a-a!" "Denim." 

Kevin felt he could listen to them all day long.

7:25 - Afro Calls
Among the callers was a guy who thought Bob Costas was a dick. He wondered what the boys thought. They responded on cue by playing Omar's insane "Bob Costas Is a Dick" song.

7:41 - K&B F* Monogamy Swingers Party
I didn't hear it, but more couples were interviewed for K&B's F* Monogamy Swingers Party in Vegas.

8:10 - Breakfast With Weezer
Over 100 people or so got to hang out with Weezer at a super-secret location, as Rivers Cuomo and gang played several songs live and answered their questions.

They talked about the Hootenanny Tour, writing songs, preparations for their upcoming tour, filming the video for Pork and Beans (where they gathererd together YouTube stars from around the country onto one set - see below), their worst concert experience (the Redding Festival in 1996 where mud balls were thrown at them), their favorite gig (in Taipei), influences (Daughtry - ha!), influential albums (Metal Health by Quiet Riot), their process of writing songs, Guitar Hero 3 (Scott Shriner admitted to getting whipped by kids on My Name is Jonas), and the world record attempts to be held on Thursday for their Troublemaker video.

The latest Kevin and Bean party was announced today. It was a twist on the usual singles party, however: it's a couples' SWINGERS party! It will be held this weekend in Caesars Palace, with a live broadcast from Las Vegas next Monday.

6:40 -  Bob Dylan and Anthony Keidis, Best Friends
Apparently, RHCP's Anthony Keidis is a huge fan of Bob Dylan.  So they called up Bob, who confirmed that they were indeed buddies.  In fact, Anthony was there with him on the phone!  Appropriately, Bob's Theme Time Radio Hour theme this week was friends. Anthony alternately yelled random phrases and quiet, nonsensical deep insights, while Bob wheezed in his inaudible tone.  Kevin noted that it sounded like they were speaking their own language.

7:28 - Alan Jackson's Lame "I Still Like Baloney" Song
Recently, country singer Alan Jackson held a party to celebrate 50 million albums sold, and served baloney sandwiches as a tribute to his current hit, "I Still Like Baloney". Ralph - passionate hater of all country music - thought this song sounded like the worse one ever made. This was confirmed when Bean (a fan of Alan Jackson), played the song. Ralph hilariously ripped it to shreds, and Kevin agreed. Bean, however, would only admit that while it wasn't his favorite Alan Jackson song, he still thought it was ok. The others pointed out it was the exact opposite of ok.

7:45 - Olympics Trampolining
Can you believe that jumping on a trampoline is an actual Olympic sport? Kevin couldn't, and he brought in clips of NBC's coverage to prove its lameness. He highlighted the double entendres ("going in and out of the box"), the suggestive names (Cocburn, Dong Dong), and a guy who simply jumped up and down for a full minute.

8:10 - Rise Against
The band came into the studio to talk about their new album, Appeal to Reason. Bizarrely, the band saw an album cover for Rick Dees' Disco Duck, which Bean played for them and tried to convince them to cover. The band was tempted.

8:45 - Game: Stump Dave
For Weezer tickets, listeners had to stump Dave with Weezer trivia.

6:40 - The Man Tries to Take Away Fun Again: In-Studio Video Disclaimers
Lightning has been doing a lot of filming of guests lately, for content for the KROQ.com website. In fact, he wants to set up a whole camera system in the studio, but unfortunately corporate CBS lawyers have stepped in. They want Lightning to put a sign that basically waives all guests' rights to anything, in any media, anywhere, forever. Kevin seethed at the ridiculousness of the wording and utterly refused to comply.  Although he was happy to put it over super-hot receptionist Jannelle's desk.

7:17 - Reporting From Beijing
Jeff Miller, reporter for OC Register, called in from Beijing and gave his takes on Olympics stuff, like the smog, foreigners in China, the Chinese people (the volunteers are almost annoyingly helpful), and coverage of lip syincing controversy in China (NO mention whatsoever).

7:33 - Online Booty Call.com
Sadly, I missed it, but Moses Brown the founder OnlineBootyCall.com talked about his 'casual dating' site that really cuts to the chase.

8:10 - Ralph Character: Michael Jackson is Moving to England?
Yup, there are reports that The Gloved One is now moving to England! He called in to give some more details, and also to show off his new English accent and his extensive knowledge of all things British: "Pip pip, cheerio!  Tea and crumpets! Fish and chips!"

8:22 - Ralph's Movie Beat

Vicky Cristina Barcelona - Hot Rebecca Hall and Scarlett Johansson have a 3 way with Javier Bardem in Spain, who are THEN joined by Penelope Cruz! Clearly, Woody Allen directed this just to satisfy his own porno tastes.  And bless him for it.  Ralph reported that this film opened the Cannes film festival and by all accounts is actually funny and pretty good.

Star Wars: The Clone Wars - Yawn. The animated tales of what happened between Episodes 2 and 3. clip.  They played a clip, and noted the really bad-sounding acting - even when compared to Hayden Christiansen!  That's pretty bad.

Mirrors - Kiefer Sutherland is a department store security guard and freaky things happen to him involving the store's mirrors. Looks like good scary summer fare.

Tropic Thunder - Ben Stiller's comedy about a group of actors shooting a war movie in Southeast Asian jungle find themselves in the middle of a real war. Bean saw it, and said it was exactly like the trailer, for better or worse, depending how you liked it.

8:37 - Game: Omaroke
For tickets to Weezer's Forum concert and the Breakfast With, listeners were forced to listen to Omar sing Weezer songs. A few actually were able to.  Omar suggested the next 'Breakfast With' special guest: Breakfast With Omaroke!

9:14 - Listener Call-In: Is Bob Costas a Dick?
When he was in last week, Petros Papadakis talked about how arrogant and pompous he thought Bob Costas was. Well, Kevin was skeptical, but started paying attention during the Olympic broadcast, and now agrees that Bob's an outright dick. Petros called back in today to listen to Kevin's clips and to join the discussion.

Caller both agreed and disagreed. The most interesting was a gal who once - while working as a production assistant at NBC - brought him coffee, only to hear him complain that it wasn't foamy enough. . no - that guy sucks! a gal named Courtney worked as a PA with him at NBC - coffee wasn't foamy or frothy enough. At the end, they played a song by Omar where (similar to the 'gay' song) he basically repeated 'Bob is gay' in the longest song ever.

Monday: Rise Against, trampolining is an actual Olympic event, and a Kevin and Bean COUPLES party!

Have a great weekend, and don't bogart that joint my friends! 

Listen to all of the day's segments at the K&B Archive.  

6:42 - When Bean Failed on Who Wants to be a Millionaire
I only caught the end: ok, when you heard that Russia had invaded the Republic of Georgia, did anyone else's first think of Bean's miserable failure on Who Wants to be a Millionaire?  Well, Kevin played the tape of Bean's embarrassing moment on national TV when he utterly failed as Ray Romano's 'call-a-friend' lifeline by admitting he didn't know Georgia's capital.

7:12 - Game: The Hardest Game in the World
It was truly the Hardest Game in the World today, as NO ONE correctly guessed any of the song titles played backwards (as read by Ralph). The boys ran out of song titles they had prepared, meaning no one won any Weezer tickets today.  

7:31 - Dave is Running a 10K??
Sad to say, but Dave is the epitome of the stereotype of a lazy Mexican. Kevin told of how - when they were both in Chicago last week - they walked a mere 2 blocks from their hotel to Lollaplooza, and Dave complained of getting tired! Well, now, Dave is planning to run in Nike's 10K Human Race on August 31.  That's like 6 miles and junk! Psycho Mike has been training him. Dave boasted that he ran 3 miles without any problem when training started...but it has been decreasing since.  The others doubted he'll make it, but Dave boasted that he was a "Mexi-Kenyan". Watch their training video below, and decide for yourself: 

 

7:45 - Ralph Character: Dubya at the Olympics
George Bush called in to talk about all the fun he has been having in Beijing at the Olympics, like slapping Misty May's lower back/upper ass. "Mmm, she makes Laura look like Donald Rumsfeld!" he gushed.

8:12 - The Airborne Toxic Event
The band came in-studio and lead singer Mikel Jollett talked about his own roots as a writer, how he formed the group, how they got their breaks (local indie rock blogs, along with help from Kat Corbett), their unique sound (using Julliard-trained classical musicians), and their first album (just released, self-titled). They also performed a few songs live. They are also playing this Saturday night at the KROQ Magic Mountain show with Katy Perry.

8:49 - K&B Instant Request: Eli Manning on the Tropic Thunder Controversy
Disability activists are up in arms over the movie Tropic Thunder, in which Robert Downey's gruff character repeatedly calls Ben Stiller's 'retarded'. A KROQ listener immediately asked the boys to get the opinion of one person: "Retard Strong" Eli Manning himself! So they obliged.  Eli agreed with the activists - he wanted the 'r' word banned too. One problem: he had no idea what that word was.  

9:15 - Ralph Character: Roland Upset About the Star Trek Experience Closing
Roland just heard that the Star Trek Experience at the Las Vegas Hilton is closing this September, and is deeply disturbed about it. "KAAAAAAAAAHN!" he cried out in vain.

9:28 - Pscyho Mike Character: Spencer on the New Season of The Hills
Season 4 of The Hills is starting next Monday, and Spencer Pratt came on to brag about that, his image being used for the boxing video game FaceBreaker, and his hate for Kim Kardashian.


Tomorrow: Is Bob Costas a dick?, the founder of Onlinebootycall.com, Movie Beat, and more Weezer tickets (Omaroke!).

Listen to all of the day's segments at the K&B Archive. 

I missed the interview with the guy who started a site/petition to get Psycho Mike off the air.   Apparently, Bean was wholeheartedly behind the guy as well.

7:14 - Listener Call-In: Ditching Your Date
So yesterday, when talking about the smallest deal-breakers, Psycho Mike told of how he was eating with a super-hot date and realized that she ate like a barbarian. Grossed out (and drunk), he couldn't think of any better plan than just standing up and walking out!

Listeners called in with their stories. One gal drove all the way up to San Francisco to meet a guy she met online.  After one look, she changed her mind (he was ugly), and drove straight back to L.A.  One classy guy took a girl out in his car into the woods (near his house, actually), started making out, claimed he had to go to the bathroom outside, and left her there!  What caused him to do this? He couldn't handle the one thick hair that was growing out of her neck. Nice.

7:40 - Bean's Blog: Bean, the Grammar Police
Bean is at it again. This time, he wrote a strongly worded letter to a Seattle radio station, complaining about their alleged mis-use of the terms 'partly cloudy' and 'partly sunny' in their weather forecasts. Kevin read his blog post in a mock-pompous voice, as he and Ralph hilariously ripped into the man they have nicknamed "Captain Minutiae". Other terms hey called him were 'an obnoxious turd' and a 'tremendous douchebag of mythic proportions'.  Ralph also suggested writing an apology letter to the station on behalf of Bean's assholery.  

8:12 - Madden NFL 09
I missed it, but Phil Frasier, Senior Producer of Madden NFL 09 called in to talk about the latest version of the game.

8:24 - Danny McBride
I also missed this interview: Actor Danny McBride talked about his movies Pineapple Express and Tropic Thunder.

8:39 - Ralph chraracter: John McCain Proves He's Hip
Apparently, John McCain's favorite TV shows are...Dexter and The Wire? Clearly a bogus claim by his campaign to make him appeal to the young and hip crowd, right? Not so, according to John himself when he called in, as he also claimed to enjoy The Hills and hip hopper Usher: "I'm being for real, man. Can you dig it? Give me some booty!"

9:08 - Rivers Cuomo
The Weezer frontman talked about his upcoming concert at the Forum (October 14, with Angels & Airwaves), playing the upcoming KROQ "Breakfast With" show, and the upcoming filming of their video for Troublemaker.  For this video, he will be asking for fans to come to the filming to perform the most world records at (the largest group of air guitarists, the largest break dancing circle, the highest stage dive, the biggest game of musical chairs, etc.). Sounds fun. Details will be on his website soon.

9:26 - Ralph Character: The Ugly Chinese Opening Ceremonies Girl
Chinese authorities have admitted that the little girl who sang their national anthem was lip-syncing to another girl's voice because the real singer was deemed not cute enough! The boys called her up to see how she felt, and the poor girl's self-esteem was still shattered by how ugly she felt she was. The self-pity turned to anger, however, as she then started to curse out the other girl.

Tomorrow: Dave the 10k runner (Ralph: "Is that weight, or distance??"), Airborne Toxic Event, and more Breaktfast With Weezer tickets.
