The River Recap – Friday Sept 26th

Well, where to start? First off, this was one of their BEST shows PERIOD. Great interviews, fantastic segments, and an animal favorite “Snacks of the Roundtable” all crammed into a 5 hour mid-day masterpiece. The show opened with the “swinging dicks” talking about their Saturday Sept 27th appearance at the Northern Virginia Brewfest from 12:00 to 4:00 (but we all know they’ll stay longer). The Brewfest will be at Bull Run Regional Park in Centreville, VA from 11-8 Sat and 11-7 Sun this weekend. Seriously, if you want to hang out with the guys tomorrow and experience some great beers from some of the greatest breweries, then please show up and you’re guaranteed to have a wonderful time. Plus, if you can secure a limo or designated driver, you can also get smashed all to hell!

After that, Oscar & Chad started talking bout some football and let’s face it, if you’re watching regular TV shows instead of watching USC LOSE to Oregon State then you might have a problem for God’s sakes. Might want to check your “man” status too. Also, does anyone really think the Redskins will go to Dallas and beat the Cowboys even though that HATED team has Tony Homo as its quarterback?

Unless that douchebag is holding for a game-winning field goal or extra point, you might as well forget it!

Up next was a FANTASTIC interview with the actor Laz Alonso. This guy was so down to earth and truly eloquent that this interview could have gone on for HOURS. This guy has been in more movies and television shows than God for crying out loud.

Up next was the animal favorite “Snacks of the Roundtable” which featured Chad, Oscar, Drab, JeffDWright, Chad’s mom, Jormand, Jake, and Rob from Seasons. As usual Oscar had his snack bought for him by someone else (this time it was Lizzie the intern), but the real surprise was that neither Drab or Chad won this thing. Rob pulled off a .5 point upset and immediately proclaimed his retirement as an undefeated SOTR champion (imagine that)!

The next interview was with one Gina (I’m hotter than shit) Carrano from EliteXC. We can only imagine the amount of fapping that was going on during this s

egment. The guys asked her some great questions and she was very responsive about her career with MMA, her friendship with Kimbo Slice, and her upcoming fights. When Oscar & Chad mentioned that shot of her at the last EliteXC event where she did the lip biting thing while arching her eyebrow, I nearly had an aneurism. Fortunately, I was able to calm down once Drab did his impersonation of Gina’s lip biting as that basically killed the “moment” of picturing Gina doing it. Still though, well done Drab!

Then Colt Brennan, the Redskin quarterback, called in for God’s sakes (I told you guys this was a FANTASTIC show) and what a “swinging dick” this dude is. He’s extremely accomodating, a wonderful interview, and apparently BORED out of his mind. He’s willing to join in with the guys for a “Home Invasion ” movie viewing party, as well as possibly inviting everyone over to Chris Cooley’s house for another get together in the near future. Are you kidding me? Can this guy be any cooler? No pretension, no snobbiness, just a real cool dude!

After that they checked their hilarious voicemails where callers/listeners call in to leave messages (feel free to leave one at 301-910-9437) and then one Bradley Fukerton did a series of voices that just made everyone crap their pants. He did Alf, Rocky, Stone Cold Steve Austin, as well as a bunch of others too.

Last up was their segment with esteemed movie critic Mike Bracken ( a personal favorite of mine ) who ACTUALLY SAW four movies this past week. Normally he says he “saw” three when really he sees one, but apparently since his phone wasn’t working and his basement was flooded, old Smooth Daddy B got the hell out of his house and went to the movies instead.

On a personal note, I would like to thank ALL the members of this show by saying they were so gracious to me when I dropped by this morning. Since I didn’t have my normal Mike Bracken’s Ex-Wife phone call prepared for today, I felt obligated to redeem myself by buying some food at McDonald’s and giving it to them at their studio. I then proceeded to stay for about an hour and a half, as I was THRILLED to see everyone and was truly interested in watching how this show operates. Oscar, Chad, Drab, Jormand, hell EVERYONE could NOT have been nicer or more friendly. Thanks for the wonderful time guys! Next time, I’ll call first and maybe bring a crappy snack for SOTR!

Till next time,

The River
