Attitude!!!
Sunday November 16, 2008 (Fabio isn’t sure though)
Bears suck, Chargers hurt….
Bears game was switched off, Chargers were turned off….
Next week maybe an early broadcast…as Brian and Fabio go to the Charger game…where they may hire the “Girl in your shirt” to wear Fierceugly.com tshirt and advertise for us. She costs $75 but advertises in your shirt on her site. She is booked solid for the next 3 weeks. She crashed Paypal…but World of Warcraft crashed the credit card network.
The Wrath of Lich King crashed the credit cards at Gamestop. It was humorous to see that in this tough economic times that people trying to spend their money could not. Brian said only Gamestop suffered this issue and it was quickly resolved. Not as quick to be resolved was Fabio’s loss of 3 days of free WOW gaming as his server was full. Now Fabio can play EA Sports Active…
EA is entering into the Wii market to target the hardcore training person. They are not competing with the Wii per se..but they are targeting a more dedicated athlete. We decided that a WiiFit workout facility may be a great idea, except that is a lot of upfront cash. With 800,000 plus sold last month, they are in very high demand.
Jen’s Box comes in strong….
Barack to be featured on Youtube with Democratic Weekly Address. It was debated whether or not he should be using Youtube and not a government website. We all agreed that having a video version of the broadcast was a great idea and well past due. Leave it to the Virutal President to bring that to us.
Californication: Jen had over a page of notes for the coked up chick and Justine Bateman’s appearance. The consensus was that she is not attractive and may have been using in the personal life. Hank and her get it on and she cried about it.
Big Bang Theory: Sheldon gave Penny two strikes..and she fought back to a full count before finishing him off by calling his mother. The tension continues to build between Penny and Sheldon as Jen still thinks they will hook up.
How I met your mother: Baby making was the theme of this show. Alyson Hannigan’s character shows up inebriated at her husbands job ready for him to lay waste to her and start their family together.
Entourage: Vince tried to call the shots much like Jen does on Fierceugly.com. We loved how Erik was jumping through hoops to get Seth Green on Vince’s and Lil Bow Wow’s pilot.
No Dirty Sexy Money and Jen mentioned 90210..but no one listened.
4 GB Nvidia video card..super expensive, super not worth the price…but Fabio wants one. Of course…
Audio Gift Cards: Fabio and Brian liked the audio gift card idea. Chris warned against any gift cards as the companies are going bankrupt and the cards are worthless.
The G1vs. Iphone vs. Storm: The Gphone had some issues with texting “Reboot” and the phone rebooted. We discussed the Iphone the Gphone and the new Storm from Blackberry. I am a huge Blackberry fan, however I played with the Gphone and really liked it. Others say its clunky, but the video and Internet was great and less pixelated than the Iphone. The cost is also cheaper and I think with Open Source Google will end up finding support.
Chris pointed out lastly that a man stole communion wafers froma Priest at a church. I thought that may be a conflicted theft as stealing God’s body was priceless…Jefe, a listener, recommended confession and forgiveness.
Finally, we discussed the inane coverage of the firestorms in California. Listener Jefe rang in to give his $75 worth about how moronic the news media is. We all agreed their snorkel gear and unsympathetic questioning is just ascinine. We enjoyed bringing Jefe into the mix..look more for some additional listener participation in future broadcasts.
Listener note: Next week may be a combined pre-recorded show with live broadcasts from the Charger game in San Diego where Brian and Fabio will be in attendance.

Obama will record weekly address on YouTube
Today, President-elect Obama will record the weekly Democratic address not just on radio but also on video — a first. The address, typically four minutes long, will be turned into a YouTube video and posted on Obama’s transition site, Change.gov, once the radio address is made public on Saturday morning.
The address will be taped at the transition office in Chicago today.
“This is just one of many ways that he will communicate directly with the American people and make the White House and the political process more transparent,” spokeswoman Jen Psaki told us last night.
In addition to regularly videotaping the radio address, officials at the transition office say the Obama White House will also conduct online Q&As and video interviews. The goal, officials say, is to put a face on government. In the following weeks, for example, senior members of the transition team, various policy experts and choices for the Cabinet, among others, will record videos for Change.gov.
