A stark contrast to last week's unusual, somewhat quite show, this week is loud, constant and full of awesome! There's a number of things that have our levels peaking on the board; a 21 JUMP STREET movie, our dream plastic surgeries, blatant racism... it's all here.
First is that movie based on the TV series that ran in the late 80s to early 90s and starred Johnny Depp. This may have come up on a past episode when it was still being developed. I honestly don't remember. I think we all (including you) may have blocked such horridness from our memories. In any case, the project is 'jumping' forward. They've pretty much rounded out the cast and will probably start shooting soon. I won't list the cast here, I want you to tune in for that. Suffice it to say, it's an interesting group of people they've signed up. Here's a little teaser clue for ya... one of them once burned their penis on the set of another movie.
A scorched trouser snake probably could use some reconstructive plastic surgery. And "According To A New Study" there's no reason for the fellas to feel embarrassed about getting a little nip and tuck done these days. In fact, the number of guys going under the knife has increased dramatically. And the reasons why are sad and worrying.
Our big story of the day comes to us from Orange County, courtesy of one, Marilyn Davenport. It's also the inspiration for this show's title. Notice the spelling? It appears the lovely Davenport is coming under political fire for a "joke" E-Mail image she sent to a few friends. The image portrays President Obama as a monkey..... yep... a monkey. And Miss Davenport claims the racial context of the image never entered her mind... yet in a written apology states she only sent it to a few friends who she thought wouldn't be offended... umm... yeah... that means you knew it would be perceived as offensive to some and you didn't want to send it to them, just your other racist pals does it not? There's been a call from the Orange County GOP leader for Davenport to step down from her position. And as you might imagine, there's a lot of regular folks who are asking her to stop 'monkeying around' and hit the road as well. What makes matters even worse in this case is that just 2 years ago an Orange County mayor resigned after sending a Photoshopped picture of the White House with a watermelon patch in front of it to all of his E-Mail buddies. And Davenport defended him!
These kinds of stories are the best fodder for our show. They generate not only discussion, laughter and thought, but also decibels. If you're a regular listener you know that Mike is the first to call "racism" on any given story. Hell, we've now got him saying it on the sound board! He doesn't let us down this time either. Don't get me wrong, he's absolutely on point and so the flame of good show is fueled.
As always we wrap things up with the unusual happenings around the world in "Breaking News." First a man who may need some of that aforementioned plastic surgery. He didn't burn his junk like the 21 JUMP STREET star, no no... he lost it! Details are in this week's show. And then Clear Channel, who owns a shit-ton of billboards around the world, creates a little unintentional irony with an ad for a certain TV show on the side of a funeral home.
