5. Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Monkey - The Beatles

Well tonight was a special edition of OTYD. Valeria couldn't make it, but we had a very special guest! Sarah McTeague, Candace's former radio partner and Phelps lover co-hosted the show. Sarah, at first, was very modest about her love for Michael Phelps - saying she liked his eyes, his dog, Herman, and the fact that he was... well Michael Phelps. But as Candace probed a bit more Sarah revealed what we had always suspected: she does, in fact, have a pulse and loves that swimmer body of his. Of course, we have to blame NBC for this. Not only did they produce multiple profiles of Phelpsicle - talking about his daily life, training schedule and eating habits - they profiled his body. Now you have to wonder what they were thinking when they decided to emphasize the fact that the man has "dinner plate" sized hands and gigantic feet. What are the ladies supposed to think when we hear something like that?! I have a feeling they didn't have any women in the editing booth when they were cutting this. Or maybe they only had women... who knows.

The ladies also discussed the new LZR Racer that the swimmers wore in beijing. Sure it's the fastest suit in the world, whatever % less drag and all that but what we were interested in is the fast that it flattens those boys out like crazy! I mean they are straight up looking like Ken dolls in those things. We worry about the potential for reproduction in the future. When the LZR was unveiled at Speedo's big fancy event, Golden boy Michael Phelps took center stage and stood with his arms and lets spread out Vitruvian Man style (even though we all know he's not by any means perfectly proportioned.) Now maybe it was the lights, maybe it was the fact that this suit is insanely thin and even tighter but there was a clear outline of certain.... areas. Perhaps some people were happy to see what the normal Speedo (barely) hides but I'd like to leave something to the imagination. Funnily enough, some genius out there in this world uploaded this picture to photobucket and did a little Perez Hilton style editing. Using their fantastic MS Paint skills they circled his junk, drew an arrow pointing to it and wrote "YEAH!" in big letters. If this wasn't funny enough, it was taken down by photobucket due to violation of service terms. Awesome.

It's no secret that Ryan is a master of the English language, as evidence by his blog on SwimRoom.com. He's even creating words of his own. As an homage to his literary skills, we premiered a segment on tonight's show called "An English Lesson from Ryan Lochte." The word of the day was "Rig"

Rig noun
rig·ging, rig mode noun:

1. chiefly athletic

• to hurt
• to die (in practice)
  
• to have a bad practice

Practices and dry land are killing me. We can say Ryan was in rig mode.

For those of you who have tuned into the show before you will know that we like to air theatrical readings of Lochte's blog because the content of his writings are sheer genius - so much so that we read them to theme tune of Masterpiece theater. This English lesson comes courtesy of this blog entry.

Now, knowing that Sarah is such a big Phelps Phan, Candace wondered how she might feel about trying a little Lochte Love. During the break Sarah was shown a few pictures of the Daytona wonder. Sarah concluded that Lochte, in all his glory, reminded her of the Greek God Adonis - a pretty good observation I would say. We concluded that he may look like Adonis but still talks like Spicoli - not sure where that leaves him. Like we said, sometimes the boys are beautiful but there's just not much going on upstairs. Light's off in the attic, y'all!

What do you guys think?

Sarah is a very fashionable lady so I had to ask what she thought of Phelp's fashion sense. His recent unveiling of a velour hoodie, paired with white track pants accent by his favorite flip flops was definitely not his greatest fashion moment. I do realize that having the torso of a man as tall as Shaq might pose some problems when shopping for clothes but there is NEVER an excuse to wear velour. EVER. Luckily, on today's TRL appearance phelps decided not only to wear shoes but to wear clothes that fully covered his lengthy frame and they were actually nice! Imagine our surprise when we saw him in jeans, a button down and a very stylish gray sweater. Lookin' good Michael Fred! Even though the shirt looks like it's made for what Sarah calls a "normal sized man," it looks like it's doing the trick. Seeing Phelpsicle look so cute on today's show made Candace feel guilty, y'all! She started out the Olympics as a Phelps girl; willing to sacrifice her body (and uterus) to give him all the swimmer babies he could ever want. But slowly after the games ended her heart was captured by none other than skittle-loving, slow talking Ryan Lochte. Sigh.. I guess this is what Phlochte is for.

Given the fact that TRL is a complete crap show, they put him through what they call "the Wringer" where they ask "tough" questions. And by tough I mean completely idiotic. MP was a good sport and extremely gracious during his time on the show so everyone out there so says he's a D-bag needs to back off! Live it up, Michael Fred!

Did y'all know that Candace went to TRL once? She sure did. Candace revealed that her friend knows someone who works at TRL and they both got to attend a taping when the Jonas Brothers were guest hosts. Now, you are all aware that Candace is a borderline pedophile because she loves Nick Jonas but what started out as an exciting OMGTHEJONASBROTHERS moment turned out to be a pretty bad experience. Once it became clear that she was just about the person in attendance over the age of 16 and the only one not wearing a tank top, flip flops with her skin spray tanned orange - the mood dropped. Plus TRL is mad boring to tape. But the Jonas Brothers are very cute in person!

By the way, our boy Michael Fred was voted 3rd most influential male according to AskMen.com. First our blog, now Askmen.com. Seems like Michael Fred is getting pretty comfortable with 3rd place.

P to the S, the infamous escalade makes a cameo in this video at 4:41 (right after Lochte rocks his tiny red Speedo at 4:17)


We need ideas for the next poll, guys! Let us know what we should do.
