8/14/08 - The Airborne Toxic Event, Dave the Distance Runner, and Eli Manning on the

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!).
