DISCLAIMER: The following recap should be used for entertainment purposes only. It is NOT an official transcript of the show, is NOT fact checked by the hosts and is NOT up for any literary awards. To hear Whatever, word-for-fabulous-word, TUNE IN TO THE SHOW!

Manliest city

Charlotte was apparently the manliest city and Portland was last on the list Jennifer was reading. Home improvement stores, pickup trucks and how many Combos you ate apparently determined whether your city was manly. Alexis and Jennifer didn’t get it. Alexis thought Combos were dainty little treats. She said she wanted peanut butter flavored ones but Jennifer said they didn’t have that flavor. Apparently there were bacon, egg and cheese combos, though. Yuck. Cities that chose vegetables over salty snacks were low on the list of manliness. New York fell at number 35 – it wasn’t so manly. Paulie bought the girls some Combos. Alexis thought there should be an exclamation point in the name. She thought they smelled like cat food.

And then there were none

Alexis discussed the killing of 400 geese in Prospect Park, Brooklyn and other geese close to the airports. They were euthanized in response to the situation where geese flew into the plane engine over the Hudson. People were outraged and were relating it to Auschwitz. One woman called a radio show in New York and said she didn’t know what she would tell her child. Alexis didn’t know if euthanizing them was the answer, but chasing them away was not helpful. Dogs were not going to help.

 

List of illegal immigrants

A list was being circulated around Utah that contained the names and personal information of 1,300 purported illegal immigrants and the demand that they be deported immediately. Jennifer felt bad for the individual people on the list. Alexis said she might care if she knew any of them as individuals but on the whole she didn’t care. Jennifer said there was an anti-Hispanic issue in Salt Lake City and this was confirmation that it existed. Paulie said a lot of his paycheck went to paying taxes and it sucked that these people weren’t paying taxes. He also said, though, that some of the hardest working people he has met were illegal immigrants. He had a lot of respect for people who wanted to work and so he was torn about the issue.

 

Bristol and Levi

They were engaged. Supposedly they gave the People interview before they told Bristol’s parents. Sarah Palin said something about Bristol being kind and forgiving in response. They were taking a vow of abstinence before they got married. Alexis found it hard to believe that Levi wasn’t having sex with SOMEBODY.

 

What theeee?

Alvin Greene shockingly won the Democratic primary for Senate in South Carolina. He was a complete unknown running against a powerful incumbent. Greene somehow won the primary without actually campaigning. Brad Warthen, the editor and publisher of bradwarthen.com,  called in to discuss the issue. Green didn’t campaign and was unemployed. He lived in his dad’s basement!  Brad said there was no way he’d be elected.

 

Darwin Awards

A naked man was hospitalized after a drinking game led to his prosthetic leg going up in flames. He and his friends decided that whoever  drank the least was going to be set on fire. A 36-year-old man jumped over a fence in the zoo and jumped onto a crocodile’s back. The crocodile bit him on the leg. Shocker. A woman had been arrested for DUI. She had been drinking coke and vanilla extract. Alexis didn’t understand how you could consume that much vanilla extract without projectile vomiting. The girls wondered how many bottles she would’ve had to consume to get drunk from it.

 

Mosque at ground zero

The girls wondered if people had a problem with it. Alexis said you couldn’t call buildings landmarks just because your family member died near them. Jennifer said most Muslims were not terrorists. She didn’t think the mosque would get approved. Alexis thought it would be built. Callers were split.

 

Stay tuned!
