Sports w/Special Ed
No good news here, the people. The B's lost 4-1 at home, the Patriots still blew it the other night, and Brock Lesner has intestinal problems. To top it all off, 86-year-old Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams was fined $250,000 by the NFL for conduct "detrimental to the league." Sure is! Old Bud's still got it!
Super Dave Osborne
Super Dave is back with a show on Spike TV! He says he can’t even count the number of bones he’s broken and body casts he’s been in after all these years, and now he just gets to watch other people hurt themselves. Super Dave coaches UFC guys and does crazy stuff on his shows, and loves that something like his show is on cable right now, up against “Jon and Kate” and the Kardashians. Ed wants to talk about the Super Dave’s cartoon, which sends Dave into a tizzy! The show was ranked #7 among kids shows, but that goddamn Sheri Lewis and Lambchop killed it! Super Dave has had many roles over the years, such as the surrogate dad on “Arrested Development” and Marty on “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” two shows that the guys love. Super Dave says that more people call “Marty!” to him now than anything else, and he and Fletcher don’t want the show to end! Charlie once again reminds him of his credentials, including working with Johnny Carson, which Super Dave says he absolutely loved. Catch an upcoming appearance from Larry David on his Spike TV show, “Super Dave’s Spike-Tacular!”
#21 of the Boston Bruins, Andrew "The Firefly" Ference!
The Sandbox all got together last night at the Garden to catch the Bruins game and hopefully see Andrew Ference score a goal and F some S up! Fletcher is happy that Ference didn't score last night, because when Andy gets his first goal of the season...FNX will stop playing 'Fireflies' by Owl City! Andy really doesn't like that song, which earned him said nickname, and he now realizes the weight he has on his shoulders. We're pulling for you, Andy!
Charlie brings the focus back to hockey, and notes that the B's have been able to get it done against good teams, so what up? Andy says the team gets hungrier when they go up against a number one team or a rival, and they're all trying to capture that attitude for every game. Fletcher says they better, or else everyone is just going to keep calling them "bums" like the dudes behind the Sandbox last night. "Shoot the puck, ya bum!"
Dr. Fletcher Operates
This one's rough, after all those Bud heavies Fletcher had last night at the Garden, he can't even hold the tweezers steady! After several failed attempts, Jay from Lowell had the doctor get the Breadbasket and pulled through! Congrats Jay, you get to see The Pixies and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, kid!
The Mega Robo Thunder Phone Query
Why'd you go back out that night? Massachusetts State Senator Anthony Galluccio was involved in a hit-and-run accident more than a month ago, and now the cops are saying that they gave him a lift home LATER that night, at about 4:30 am. The Senator went out and had a few, went home, and then got wasted again later. Ed has done this several times, and it’s a whole lot of fun, but Galluccio was just taking advantage of who he is and being above the law. Fletcher goes out during the day to events, rests for a bit, and then goes out again at 11 that night. He claims he does it because he is still young enough and doesn’t want to ‘miss out’ on anything. Most of the time it's for booty calls, say The People, which we all know can be a blessing and a curse. Ed still thinks Galluccio is an amateur, and he should held it together and kept boozin'...says the resident King of DUI's.
Fletcher's Never Heard or Seen Review
CD's
Boyz II Men – Love
Remember “End of the Road”? That song was everywhere, including Ed’s prom and Charlie’s honky high school. Fletcher’s Rating : ETATA – Ed Time At The Apollo
Adam Lambert – Take One
Is this even Adam Lambert? Did Charlie just mess up again? No, it really is! A reissue of Adam Lambert’s first album, the “deluxe version”! Cash in Lambert!
Norah Jones – The Fall
She really takes forever to put out albums. Fletcher's Rating : J - Janis (For his mom)
Justin Bieber –
My World
This 15 year old from Canada is adored by screaming girls everywhere..for reasons unknown. Fletcher's Rating: PR – Pedo’s Rejoice!
Fletcher's Pick of the Week
Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures
They put on a great show at the House of Blues a few weeks ago, and the whole Sandbox agrees on this one. They all went to the show, knew none of the songs but had an awesome time. Fletcher's Rating:MD - Mescaline and Distortion
DVD's
"Star Trek" – Fletcher doesn’t really like Sci-Fi, but this was a whole lot of fun! Ed thinks it rips off Star Wars, which gets him all worked up. Here we go. Come on, Simon Pegg’s in it, so how bad can it be?
"My Sister’s Keeper" – What a bad, bad movie! Fletcher loved the trailer, and just wanted to see an emotional movie where he could just cry his eyes out. Nothing about this was good.
"Bruno" – Kinda disappointing, since we’ve all done this with "Borat." Fletcher thinks Bruno seems to be kinda staged, too. And do we need that much dong?
Here's a good rip at the whole "Star Trek ripped off Star Wars" debate:
It never stops. All the people of the WTF line wanted to talk about was Star Trek/Wars. Thankfully, today's Finisher brings us back to some sanity, ala Larry and Marty:
