Special Ed has the sniffles, Fletcher told him to knock it off in the car so he could listen to MGMT
The guys play “Who woke up with Special Ed?” to win a pair of tickets to see Weezer with Angels and Airwaves at the Tsongas Arena on September 23rd. The guys talk bad bedroom etiquette and Charlie grosses Fletcher out by telling him that his kids ate popcorn in his bed leaving all the cornels behind. The guys hint that Ed’s lucky lady is from Fresno, She’s a professional golfer, and that she’s way out of Ed’s league. Whether it is his enchanting musk, or some kind of secret charm the guys can’t for the life of them figure out. After tediously waiting for our listeners to guess that it was Heidi Watney, Kevin from Mansfield managed to score himself a pair of tickets to Weezer by being the only person who could guess the identity of who woke up with Ed.
Charlie is confused by who’s filling in for who at WNFX…Dave is filling in for Paul who is filling in for Julie… (Insert 10 degrees of Kevin Bacon joke here) “Its vacations ahoy!”
“How many clams do you think Henry’s having on vacation?” Fletcher recaps the highlights from the DNC last night where Hillary proclaimed that she is a Barack Obama supporter. “Go Away! She has nothing to do with this!” laments Charlie who does not seemed the least bit amused by Hilary or her sisterhood of the traveling pantsuits. Ed thinks it would’ve been funnier if the guy who does the movie trailers did Hillary’s speech.
Ed talks Sox coming up big in the Bronx against the Evil Empire. The guys do their Buchholz impressions which sound alot more like someone doing bad Dave Matthews karaoke.
In pop trash we learn that Tom Brady took out a $8.225 Million dollar mortgage that he intends to spend on a house he’s building for his supermodel girlfriend. Michael Lohan wants to box K-Fed, and talks candidly about his daughter’s alcoholism. R-Kelly finds himself in trouble with the law again after a South African woman was caught swindling money from investors to raise money for R-Kelly concerts… none would believe this to be any fault of Kelly’s until you learn that the money was deposited into his account. And Shia Labeouf returns to the set of Transformers 2 broken hand and all. “I wonder how they’ll re-write this one into the movie?”
7am
There is discussion in the studio about gross snacks lead by Intern Pam whose gross snack of choice involves pop corn dipped in peanut butter, pickles, and ends with a swig of chocolate milk. The guys have listeners call up and talk about what weird foods they like. Big Jim’s dad calls in and threatens to harden the guys’ arteries if they don’t stop the rumor that Big Jim does heroin. Bill calls from his car and talks about banana butter and sugar sandwiches that his mom used to make for him. And Melissa from Greenville loves indulging in pickles, French fries, and honey mustard. All this talk of food has made the guys ravenous, and Ed ate the whole plate of crackers.
Ed and Fletcher continue talking food, budgeting their money, and Charlie chastises the two hetero life mates for spending too much money on big name products. Ed claims his poverty is from putting girls through college not food. Ed eventually gets to sports and talks about the Pats last minute roster moves.
Lizzie Goodman from Blender calls the guys and Fletcher asks if the Blender wheels have come off after Kid Rock made Blender’s most popular people list. Special Ed and Lizzie agree that the New Kids on the Block comeback single was a big disappointment. Charlie’s only complaint is that Jonathan didn’t get enough time in the video, where as Special Ed complains about Danny Wood’s appearance. “Why did they put the guy that looks like the monkey in the jungle?”
F.A.A. computer trouble is found responsible for numerous flight delays yesterday. Fox News tries to connect Obama/Biden with Osama Bin Laden? Too much time on our hands friends?
8am
The guys discussed how a lot of people are abstaining from vaccinating their children due to fears that these vaccinations could be the cause of autism. Today’s phone query had listeners weigh in on whether or not they would have their kids vaccinated. Katelyn from East Boston believes that a lot of fear tactics are being used to persuade people out of vaccinating children, were as Lloyd from Beverly has a 19 year old brother who had complications due to a vaccination from he was given when he was 18 months old.
New Hampshire man denies accusations that he killed his ex-lover’s husband. And Democrats ask Americans; do we want 4 more years of the past 8?
Forsberg calls up the guys and talks Saturday cuts, Brady’s injury shenanigans, the three acres of land he dropped 11 million for and Rampage Jackson being arraigned on charges of wreck less driving in a hit and run incident back in July.
Ed’s sniffles return and Fletcher sounds off on Ed, telling him that he should spend his vacations getting more important things done like getting his nose fixed as opposed to going on cruises and spending all his money. To which Ed replies” They have no casinos at the hospital.”
Duvall Patrick backs Obama and tells delegates that the government should focus more on education, and the guys get nostalgic about the Clinton administration… peace, security, and low gas prices.
9am
Today’s “What’s in the que?” finds Special Ed channeling his inner horror movie fan boy to review Phantasm IV Oblivion… which he rated B for Balls. Charlie reviewed “Where in the world is Osama Bin Laden?” Which he gave an A…and last but not least Fletcher continues catching up on the classics with Top Gun!! How in god’s name did you go 25 years without seeing this one Fletcher? Was it the volley ball scene? Was that the clincher? Either way he gave it an A.
Former President Clinton’s speech will be the first to air with a five second delay.
Today’s WTF Line brought out the likes of Hilary Clinton CAW! CAW! CAW! Dared to ask how many of us would become turncoats if McCain gets elected, what kind of punishment does a two year old baby murdering 1,000 lbs lady deserve? Why does that injured Para sailor sound like Mickey Mouse? Can Trekkies and Star Wars fanatics co-exist? (Ed says no) How bad is Ed in the sack? But more importantly, according to one caller Big Jim is a speedballer.
And Today’s finisher a loving tribute to Professor Earmuffs a beloved friend of the Sandbox who passed away in Salem this past Monday.

Does Ed often try to stick his tongue in Fletcher's ear? I happened to see Ed expressing his feelings for Fletcher in a public way on the webcam though no mention is made of it in this recap. It's nice to see roommates who get along so well.
