Oh, Yes They Did! 11/10/08

Thanks to everyone who listened in tonight to "Oh, Yes They Did!" Here is the playlist in case you missed it:

1. It's a New Day - will.i.am (for our man Barack!)
2. Michelle - The Beatles (for our next first Lady, Michelle Obama)
3. Rubber Band Man - TI (request from Bonnie)
4. Spaceman - The Killers (WECB Premier... I think)
5. Changes - David Bowie

Just to start off, sorry we were yelling at everyone for not IMing us anymore. Apparently our AIM at the station is effed up! We were sent some IMs but we couldn't see them - LAME! We love you guys and we'll try and get that fixed because we love talking to you during the show.

So of course, we're still on a crazy Obama high. Seriously y'all I needs me some Barack Obama in pill form cause I am feelin' good! As you all know I am completely obsessed with his family. I think they are just gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. Michelle? Fierce. Malia? Beautiful. And Sasha? Oh please, that girl is all kinds of amazing. Apparently her life's ambition is to sing and dance. Of course it is! She's the youngest and you know how we love the spotlight. I feel like my sister and I are exactly like Malia and Sasha. My sister is really pretty and elegant and I was the chubby faced loud one who may have used my cuteness to my advantage once in a while during those early years. A showman of sorts you might say. Even the journalists love her! Her gavel banging during Michelle's DNC stage tour delighted a journalist on CSpan. Delighted him! Valeria and I are also very impressed with Barack's choice for Chief of Staff. Rahm Emmanuel is effing crazy! In the best way possible. Some of the stories out there about him consist of things that usually only occur before the men in the white coats come and take people away. Supposedly he sent dead fish in the mail to his political foes. That's some crazy Godfather type shiz right there. And there was some other story involving a steak knife and stabbing a table. I don't know man, all I know is that when you're that passionate (and crazy) you get stuff done! We're not so pleased, however, with all the news station talking about the Secret Service and the security team following the Obamas. Um guys... it's called the Secret Service for a reason! Don't be telling people about that mess. I don't want to know about him being surrounded by bullet proof glass on 3 sides because then someone is going to be like "hey... I know the one side that isn't bullet proof!" Idiots. Keep that man safe, please! The one cool thing about these secrets being revealed are the Secret Service names used for the Obamas. Barack is Renegade (yeah!), Michelle is Renaissance (hell yeah!), Malia is Radiance (aw, yeah) and Sasha is Rosebud (OMG yeah!) Those are some badass names.

So getting away from our political crushes and onto our Olympic ones - we did another reading from Ryan Lochte's blog to the theme music of Masterpiece Theater. I'm not even going to lie about it- this one had so many spelling and grammatical errors that it was practically unreadable. It doesn't really matter though because we don't really love him for his brains, do we, girls? One of the great things about this particular blog entry was at the end Ryan ended it with "well class is over... i got to run." Maybe writing blog entries during class isn't the best way to make the most of that college education. Oh well.

We also played a short clip from an interview with Ryan that was posted on ONTD_Olympics earlier today. He was doing a swim clinic and basically tells the interviewer that he understands how kids feel when they see him because he used to look up to people too. So pretty much, he tells the interview that knows he's awesome. He is aware that, he is and always has been, the almighty Ryan Lochte that we have come to know. In other words, he declared himself the King of Jeahmaica before there was a Jeahmaica. Sounds kind of cocky but on the other hand... I just don't think he really knew how to answer that question... In other news, this video makes us want to have his swimmer babies.


Speaking of answering questions, Phelps got pretty good at answering (technically not answering) tough questions. When he was on The View Whoopi asked him about learning Chinese with Rossetta Stone. Now lord knows this boy did not learn a lick of Chinese past Lo Mein and Moo Shu Chicken. But who can blame him? If you spent 5 hours a day swimming would you want to sit in front of a computer screen wearing a little head set learning Chinese? If you just said yes, you need to turn off this computer and leave your house immediately. Give up those 40 cats and just leave your house now! No! That's not what he wants to do. So obviously he didn't learn himself any damn Chinese - but he's getting paid to kind of say he did. So, obviously this presents a problem. Anyway, he did a pretty good job of side stepping the question. It wasn't perfect but he still gave the product props for what it does and never actually admitted that he knows just about as much Chinese as one of those "Learn Chinese" fortunes inside a fortune cookie. This is why people want him! Good job, Mikey. Plus your commercial is pretty cute, too.

So, as you know, the ladies of OYTD love them some celebrities. In particular, they love them some Mark Ronson. Now what you may not know is that Mark Ronson has a radio show in NY that he does from time to time. He used to do it weekly but since he's such a work traveler you never know when he'll be there. Since discovering his show Candace and Valeria have made several plans to stalk (and we mean that in the least frightening way possible) this beautiful British man. We never have... but now we're starting to develop a kind of relationship. Which is why we are glad to bring to you "Our Developing Relationship with Mark Ronson." Now, a couple of weeks ago Candace IMed into his show and asked for a shoutout for herself and her cohort Valeria (Listen below)

Hearing Mark say our names was enough to make our brains explode and at least one uterus cry. But the plot thickens! This week on the show he was having a Barack Obama celebration show. He gave out the "number" for the station but left out the last digit for the listeners to figure out. Being the computer savvy lady that I am, I found that shiz in about 30 seconds. Only problem was that we didn't know what to say because um... it's Mark Ronson. We came up with a little script and called in. Apparently Mark was too busy trying to be Spinderella to talk to us on air but got on the phone and asked if he could call us back (even though he didn't have our number.) He quickly corrected himself and asked us to call back. Now at this point Valeria's ovaries had officially exploded, rendering her a practically mute - which meant that I had to make the second phone call even though I was nervous as hale. Basically - EPIC PHONE CALL.

UPDATE: OMGs y'all we beat the system! Blogger can't hold us down. Listen to our call!


In other news Valeria is currently losing her mind because her other British lover, Ed Westwick is now doing ads for KSwiss. Even though that brand completely sucks (as does his band) he is looking fine as HALE in the ads. And now she wants to buy the crappy shoes. Can't blame the girl. That's some good advertising. Unfortunately his HORRENDOUS band will also be featured in the campaign. Good lord they are awful. But if you're into self mutilation or just plain crappy music, you can listen to them on their myspace. They're called The Filthy Youth.
Supposedly Mark Ronson was offered this campaign but said no. Not really sure why. Maybe sneakers aren't his thing now that he isn't ghetto fab anymore. He did a Gap ad a little while ago and it was hotness. I guess how he's too busy answering phone calls from crazy fangirls to model. Not that we have a problem with that.

Valeria mentioned that Ed had a considerable bulge in some of these pictures so I'd like to take the time to introduce you all to a wonderful term that you all should incorporate into your vocabulary - bdubs. Pronounced bee-dubbs, the phrase refers to a noticeable bulge - either in person or in a picture. The phrase originates from a time (2 years ago) when Candace took leisure in collecting pictures where Ronnie Vannucci (drummer for the killers) had a visible bulge in order to prove to delusional Brandon Flowers fans that he was, indeed, the manlier man. Bdubs is short for "Bulge Watch" which was then shortened to BW and eventually became the grand "Bdubs." If you're good at noticing bulges and enjoy the pastime you can join the facebook group "Bulge Watch: World Wide" Hey, it's not weird! If it's there it's there. We just happen to notice.
