There’s No TH Anymore

Be sure to secure the Waffle Houses, because Jocktober is getting urban this week, as we visit Boston’s “The GetUp Crew.” It’s a dynamic completely unknown in the radio world, where they have a regular guy, a probably wacky sports guy, and a hole to keep them in line. You won’t believe it.

  • Like last week’s show, and maybe a million other shows across the country, The GetUp Crew has a “Second Date Update” segment. This one might even be real (wink).
  • As the male half of the pretend couple answers the phone, Brian loses patience with this bit’s fakeness, and calls the host a “sellout punk bitch” for laughing at the guy.
  • In the space of sixty seconds, Brian tells two of his best jokes, and he’s exceedingly proud of them.
  • Brian confesses that when he saw that girl a few months ago, he left his debit card at home and texted his son the address, “just in case.” But he would go back.
  • Eva Marie Saint died, and the Dead Pool remains tied at 3.
  • The boys recount the Great Pussy Crash of 1931.
  • A low IQ 23-year-old woman strolled into a high school, pretended she was a substitute teacher, then started yelling at and insulting the kids.
  • The boys have had it with these local news reporters and their gay Top Gun mustaches.

Jocktober

Brian has talked about doing it for almost the whole life of this show, and this year we’re finally doing it: Jocktober. It was an Opie and Anthony tradition where they analyzed bad radio from across the country, and it’s finally made its way down to us. Here are some highlights to entice you to listen:

  • This week we’re listening to Brooke and Jeffrey in the Morning. Brian runs down their cast bios; one of them inexplicably won a Marconi award. The third mic is named Jose, and he’s “wacky.”
  • The callers definitely aren’t fake.
  • Jose has a great laugh and he’s always on mic. (Is this opposite stuff working for you?)
  • Brian introduces Jeff to felching and explains what “the hole” does on these radio shows.
  • Brian’s theory on the Cornell case, and why he had to do a deep dive on it.
  • They call “Erica,” and our Jeff tries to get into the spirit of the phone gimmick.
  • The flamethrower chicken strip basket leads to flamethrower dumps.
  • Old Fred Durst did it all for the bran.
  • Fartin’ and felchin’.
