There are new perfumes and colognes being formulated based on celebrity DNA, like Blue Suede from Elvis Presley and IQ from Albert Einstein. President Barack Obama has wrapped up the business portion of his trip to China and is now sightseeing. The Republican Party in Massachusetts hopes to revive the death penalty debate. Adam Lambert's record label and manager instructed Out Magazine not to make the star look "too gay." Paul Pierce returned to practice after suffering a knee injury Friday night. The Strokes "Is This It?" has been named the album of the decade. You're no longer confined to fish n' chips if you go to England... London is now offering Chipotle! The Massachusetts Senate has approved an education bill that has been called the most extensive since the Education Reform Act of 1993.

 

Fletcher Missed That Movie Too: Krush Groove

Fletcher is a complete novice of hip hop, so he thought this 1985 film based on Russell Simmons would be an educational experience for him. One of the first things he loved about it was the white out-of-touch old lady teacher. Special Ed points out how amazing the acting is, as it is in all movies from the 80's. When one of his acts makes it big, Russell turns to a street hustler for money. You probably don't need to be reminded that taking money from a hustler is never a good idea. Overall, Fletcher gives this movie a B! It was a fantastic educational experience and he is now much more in touch with the streets. Yeah boiiiiii.

 

Forsberg!

No one's done talking about Belichick's play yet, and that includes The Sandbox. Forsberg says he loved the call itself. It showed total confidence in his offense. It didn't go well, but punting wouldn't have worked either. It didn't matter if he had 30 yards or if he had 70 yards, Peyton Manning was moving them down the field so efficiently, he would have scored either way. Fletcher wants to know, do the headlines and angry callers get into Belichick's head? Forsberg thinks the whole team is probably upset for about an hour after the game, but then they move on. And Belichick is no different. Now moving on to a team that is not living up to its expectations... the Bruins. Forsberg admits that he hasn't even been watching them, they're so awful. This is the same team as last year though, so maybe things will fall into place. But for now, the Bruins have to give fans a reason to watch, and right now they're not.

 

The Qdoba Mega Robo Thunder Phone Query

 http://wfnx.com/blogs/sandbox/blog%20images/Nov09/111809sandboxmadgirlfriend.jpeg

Special Ed went to see Brand New at the House of Blues last night, and in between bands he saw a couple; the guy was wearing a Misfits hoodie and his bleach-blond girlfriend was wearing a North Face jacket and a huge purse. She was pissed that she was getting pushed around in the pit and her boyfriend wasn't protecting her, so naturally, she insisted they leave. Ed thought the guy was going to stand his ground. But JUST as Brand New was getting ready to go on stage, he conceded. What's with girls? Guys would never do that to their girlfriends at a Taylor Swift concert! We've kind of talked about this before... If there's a band you really want to see, do you take your significant other with you?

The guys admit, the kid in the Misfits hoodie probably could have done a better job protecting his girl. One guy told us he was dragged to a New Kids On The Block concert and he has a good point - if he can get drunk enough, his girlfriend can get drunk enough. The consensus: if you agree to accompany someone to see their favorite band, you need to sit down, shut up, and stick it out until the very end.

 

Ed Has a Fatty Liver!

 http://wfnx.com/blogs/sandbox/blog%20images/Nov09/111809sandboxfattyliver.jpg

Well, it's been confirmed: Ed has a fatty liver. When a very nice woman delivered a sweet potato pie to the studio, Ed's doctor texted him, "no sweet potato pie for you." The guys then decided to get him on the phone. Not surprisingly, Doc thinks Ed's fatty liver was caused by his frequent consumption of alcohol. Ed is not happy that he has to forfeit his pizza and nachos for vegetables and fruit. But Doc assures him he just needs to reset the clock and let the liver heal a little bit, take it easy for a while. Fletcher asks, are a dozen beers or so every other night extreme? Doc says that everyone reacts a little differently, so not necessarily. And genetics do play a role, so Ed is allowed to blame his parents for yet another ailment.

 

Pop Trash

Rob Schneider recently did a radio interview on The Wild Morning Show with Kevin, Virginia, and Jason. And he was not happy that the studio made him wait in the parking lot until they were ready to talk to him.


Maybe he's just pissed that he hasn't gotten much work lately and is forced to make appearances on morning radio shows.

 

Special Ed-Fex

The guys have Pixies and Mighty Mighty Bosstones tickets to give away! And with everything going on involving the MBTA lately, Ed thought an appropriate sound effect would be a T crash. Congratulations to Joe for guessing correctly! He'll be rocking out with the Pixies on November 27th and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones on December 7th!
