Well tonight was, as always, fun filled and full of sass (precisely 50% less sass because our lady Valeria couldn't make it to the show and Candace was flying solo for the evening.) The first topic of discussion was a story put out by Page 6 of the New York Post claiming that Michael Phelps was paid a hefty 100,000 buckaroos to swim laps at some cougar's pool party. Now when I imagine this I think of a woman with really big hair, leathery, tanning bed skin and a botoxed face - but that's just me. Anyway considering the price tag, Candace thought that while, yes, this was a pretty ridiculous sum of money to pay Michael Phelps to do what he does anyway, it was a pretty sweet deal on the part of Michael Phelps because he's getting paid to do what he does anyway! If someone offered me $100,000 to drink Diet Coke and fall asleep in moving vehicles I'd sure as hell take it. Others were more critical. Michael K of D listed said "If you're going to pay that bitch 100 grand to do a few strokes he'd better do it naked and on top of you." Can't really argue with that...Whether or not this whole pool party story ts true, we can't be too sure. It was, after all, published in the New York Post and for those of you who don't know this is a "newspaper" written at a third grade reading level and chock full of spelling errors. If it is true, props to that lady because I don't know anyone who wouldn't want to have Michael Phelps as their poolboy.

Can you believe it's Halloween already? Wasn't it just August? Well around here on OTYD we like to keep the Olympic spirit alive. Apparently one of our listeners is dressing up like our man Reezy for Halloween! Sounds like a lot of fun. Just don't get drunk and do the backstroke on the dance floor. I'll bet Michael Phelps will be a popular Halloween costume this year because a) he's one of the most famous people in the universe right now and b) the costume would cost just about nothing because you'd be practically naked. We're in a recession, people! Make those costumes at home! For any of us who watch The Office we know how easy it is to make Olympic Medals out of yogurt lids so that's a start.
Speaking of finances, supposedly our Olympic peeps are not getting as many endorsement deals as expected because nobody has any dough. I guess that sucks, but Phelps doesn't seem to have a problem. Nobody can get a damn job and he's all over the place. He's got an endorsement deal with everybody. He's kind of like that kid on Halloween that hits up all the good houses first, gets all the good candy and all that's left for the other kids are the bags of pennies. Michael has all the candy and everyone else has pennies! Share the candy, Michael. You don't need all those Snickers. I'm sure Cullen Jones would like a delicious candy treat, too.

Getting back to the Reezy train, Candace did another theatrical reading from Ryan Lochte's blog. This entry was especially amusing because it contains the sentence "i know i know i am a dummy." His words, not mine. It also had plenty of "jeahs." Candace was complimented on her delivery of the phrase and felt compelled to share how it's really done, Reezy style. In this video, Lochte wins the perseverance award from the Golden Goggles. After giving what I'm sure is an unintentionally funny speech, he lets out a "JEAH!" with a passion and fervor rarely seen. Lochte makes his way to the stage at 2:00


Breaking news was revealed on today's show. Candace may have a gigantic crush on Cullen Jones. After some serious discussion about the swimmer on monday's show (and subsequent facebook stalking) her heart has grown fond of the boy from New Jersey - and being from New Jersey just makes him cuter. Not to take anything away from how significant his accomplishments are but he is a cutie pie! He has the most squeezable cheeks I have ever seen and unlike Reezy and Phelps, he has style. That's right! I know it's shocking that someone on the USMOST can dress well but he actually does. As my friend Ted would say, Cullen is splashin - no pun intended.

With the election only 6 days away there was no way a chance to talk about Obama could be passed up. Tonight Obama will broadcast a 30 minute "informercial" of sorts on several major networks including NBC, FOX, Univision and CBS. Now I don't know what the content of this thing will be but if it's anyting like a real infomercial, Candace is down. She revealed on the show that she absolutely loves infomercials - and she wasn't being ironic. She searched for "paid programming" on her channel guide at night. Her favorites include infomercials for knives, the Magic Bullet, The Showtime Rotisserie and all those music compilations. Maybe Obama will do a little "set it and forget it" action.

On the subject of Obama, one of the links in our blog is to the community "Obama Daily." This community uploads new photos of Obama... daily (get it?) Anyway, while surfing around this afternoon Candace discovered "Obama on the Road!" a collection of photos resembling Travelocity's "Roaming Gnome" in which an Obama action figure travels across California and takes pictures at interesting locations. The pictures are cute and sometimes, oddly touching. Check out the collection here.

Breaking News: Candace has a crush on TI and now he's going to jail. Why didn't anyone tell her about this? Also, why didn't anyone tell her that he has 6 children? That's a lot of kids! Now normally, I have pretty good judgment when it comes to men and I would say hey, that dude with 6 kids whose going to jail for possession of firearms... probably not for me. But TI is just so charming in interviews! In his interview with Tyra Banks he revealed that he has two 7 year old children that are NOT twins. "How is this possible?" you might ask. Well according to TI one child was born in March and one was born in June. Tyra responded by calling him a "playa playa" he quickly corrected her by saying he was simply "single single." Oh TI... I'll be your baby Mama.

Finally I'd like to address a serious problem. On ONTD_O someone posted this picture of MP that garnered some reactions that I was not pleased with. Ladies, PLEASE get a hold of yourselves! I know it's Michael Phelps but are you so blinded by your love that you cannot see how laughable this picture is?! I saw various comments claiming how "sexy" this picture was and how they were "drooling" over it. Um... are we looking at the same picture?! This straight up cheesy. It looks like a reject from a romance novel cover shoot. He has his pants unzipped, a crisp white button down (with cuffs so over sized it looks like he borrowed the shirt from his father) and a fan blasting it open and away from his chest. This may be the most un-sexy thing I have ever seen in my natural born life. This is the definition of "trying too hard." And why is he smiling at me? WHY?! Is he pleased with himself? Because he shouldn't be. I am horrified and embarrassed for him. I don't want to see any more pictures like this. You're better than this, Michael Fred!

Also, Candace announced that the ladies of OYTD are planning on attending Gold Medal Mel's birthday party and are super psyched about it! They're also planning on pulling a mission impossible and sneaking into the Golden Goggles - but this is far less likely to happen because a) Candace is afraid of authority and b) well.. doing that just sounds scary.

Shout out to Kevin and Khellie of "It's Your ECB" for having me on as their special guest today. Check out their show Wednesdays from 2-4pm. They have a guest DJ on every week!
