Oh, Yes They Did! 11/12/08

Hey babies! Thanks to everyone who listened in tonight to "Oh, Yes They Did!" Here are the songs we played in case you missed it:

1. Renegade - Styx (in honor of the Obamas badass Secret Service Names)
2. Hold On - Razorlight
3. Valerie - Mark Ronson featuring Amy Winehouse
4. Lady Madonna - The Beatles
5. Under Pressure - Queen featuring David Bowie (or the other way around depending on how you look at it)

Another wonderful Wednesday! We started off the show with some more Obama talk. This time we talked a little more about Obama's pick for Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel. This dude has already become an internet sensation. For any of you who were familiar with BarackObamaIsYourNewBicycle.com then you know how these things can take on a life of their own. That site made light of the fact that everyone thought Barack Obama was just so damn nice! It just constantly reloaded with text telling you nice things Barack had done for you. This new site made in Rahm's honor, however, is a little different. RahmFacts.com is a site dedicated to Mr. Emanuel's badassery and sheer lunacy. I can't be too sure on the legitimacy of some of the facts but the scary thing is that some of the most insane things on here are actually true. For instance "Rahm Emanuel hates Arby's" because he cut off half of his middle finger with an Arby's meet slicer as a teenager and he did supposedly "declare his enemies 'dead' while repeatedly stabbing a steak knife into a table.'" Whether or not Rahm Emanuel "jumped on a table and said that the Republican Party 'can go fuck themselves'" we really can't be too sure.

Swimming news! Oh how we love swimming news. Apparently some punk named Peter Marshall broke Reezy's world record in the 100 back. This is very disturbing news to me - so I'm making a new rule. The rule is that people who I don't care about are not allowed to break world records - especially if that record was previously held by someone I (and my ovaries) do care about. With that said, I declare the record currently held by Peter whatever-his-name-is null in void and Reezy once again reigns supreme. In more recent news, the lovely Ryan Lochte will be competing in a truckload of events this weekend in Minnesota. Now some lovely listener IMed us during the show and proceeded to try and school Candace on the previously mentioned swimming news - already knew it. I got spies all over this piece. I had that PDF schedule downloaded, searched for all events featuring "Lochte, Ryan S." and had those puppies written down in my notebook. I wouldn't let you kids down! You know I'm up on Reezy Daily on the daily. But in all seriousness, we really appreciate it when you guys keep us updated on things you want us to talk about and/or things we might not know about (even if we already do) because some of you Lochte-lovers out there are far more knowledgeable than I - and seem to have far more comprehensive Google alerts. So keep it coming! Anyway, he's gonna be swimming out there in the heartland so... you know what that means! NEW PICTURES! And maybe some world records and accolades and things that are far less important to the female brain. Y'all know we have been in dire need of some new Reezy pictures as of late. Well... let me clarify. We have been in dire need of some speedo-clad Reezy pictures as of late. Lord knows this boy cannot dress his way out of a paper bag. I like my Reezy in a speedo - preferably soaking wet. If you're wet you can't wear gel in your hair. Someone put this man in contact with Nick Jonas' hairdresser. That boy has curls that defy physics - with no visible trace of gel! His curls are voluminous, defined and there's no frizz! It's unreal.

While we're on the topic of styling Reezy, why isn't Cullen Jones lending a hand? Valeria and I were facebook.... not stalking but more... strolling along and stumbled upon some newly tagged pictures of our boy - and he was looking fine as HALE. He was looking as swaggerific as ever - very sharp. Black shirt, jeans and rockin' one of those Afghan scarves. Now, a man that can pull off a scarf is A+ in my book. He looked so good it was enough to prompt us to actually play "Dreamweaver" as opposed to singing it off key into the mike - so you know it was good. This boy knows how to dress and he really needs to share the wealth cause his boy Reezy is seriously suffering. I think I saw Ryan wearing a shirt that had some rhinestones/jewels/some sort of ornate decoration on it. I would think a boy as fashion forward as Cullen would have enough sense to tell his friend that bedazzling your clothes isn't cool anymore and it's still questionable as to whether it ever was. Come on Cullen! You might be his only hope.

Where in the world is Michael Phelps? Is it just me or has he fallen off the face of the earth? We suspect he's getting crunk and hanging out with lots of (questionably hot) chicks. But even so, he's so famous at this point if he disappears we fear the earth might implode. Either the earth or our ovaries... we're not sure. I mean we've been getting little doses here and there seeing him dance in his speedo in that "Guitar Hero" commercial but that's not enough! I was emotionally invested in your Olympic journey, Michael! I cried when you won your 8th Gold Medal! Cried. Real human tears. You can't just leave me like this! You just better watch yourself, Mister, because when I take my love away it stings. Stings, I tell you! Be worried, sir. 8 gold medals cannot equal up to the glory of love of one Silva.

I think we figured out why Ryan Lochte loves lil Wayne so much. He doesn't make any kind of sense when he talks! Maybe it's a confidence booster. Like when you hang out with little kids - you just feel like the smartest person on earth. I mean we all know that Ryan says some silly things now and again but at least we can understand the man. On tonight's show we wanted to demonstrate just how insane lil Wayne is and played the beginning of his first video blog in which he thanks his fans for buying his album. He ends up going off on a tangent about school book drives... just watch.

What I think he's trying to do is equate the book drive to illegal downloads. Basically, he's thanking the people who bought the album rather than getting it illegally. Text books = his album, illegal downloads = book drive books that you can't take home to use for your homework.

We also did another reading from his blog (featured on ESPN.com) to the sounds of Mark Mothersbaugh. I just can't get enough of this guy. He sounds so enthusiastic when he writes about sports. Even though we made fun of Weezy for his very interesting choice of words, apparently this guy is pretty damn smart! One of our listeners informed us that he's studying psychology and political science. Seems like that'd require a pretty heavy course load. Whether not he's actually a good student... that's another story. Let's hope he doesn't write his blogs in class like Reezy does.

Guess what we're doing this weekend! Going to NY! Guess what's going on in NY (well, lots of things I'm sure but guess something that is related to things we always talk about) Gold Medal Mel's Birthday Party, that's what! Guess whose going to Gold Medal Mel's birthday party. WE ARE! It's 21+ and oh snap... we're both 21 so you know we're gonna have a good time. We're super super psyched to meet GMM because um... he's Gold Medal Mel and he's awesome and hilarious. P to the S the place where he's having the party is swanky. This party is legit you guys. I would call this a "soiree" because when I think of a "party" I think of annoying college kids and lots of red disposable cups. There definitely won't be any red disposable cups here. This is like a gateway into the New York I've always heard about but was never allowed into cause I'm not fancy at all and don't have the patience to do my hair. I'll make an exception for this party.

Happy Birthday, Mel!

We're also planning on stalking Mark Ronson and not having a restraining order put out against us so that should be fun (and challenging.) I'm from NYC so I'm super excited to go home for the weekend and taking my lovely lady Valeria around town. We'll be reporting back with details on all of our wonderful NY adventures. Be sure to check out blipBack in the coming days because we'll be recording some videos to keep you updated on what's going on.
