Episode 32.12 - The Best of Frenemies
May 13

Gordon: Let me guess - one family is made up of Tribbles and the other one is made up of Tholians?
Chico: Close. Vulcans and Klingons
Gordon: I think Tribbles and Tholians would be more fun.
Chico: Khan Noonien Singh hosts.
Gordon: Well, there you go., Welcome back to WLTI. Thanks for being a part of our week and allowing us to be a part of yours. Now Chico is a med tech, but this week, I am the doctor, as I put on my papaya hat (puts on hat), Now during the past few weeks, I hear that you have garnered email for me?
Chico: I have!
Gordon: Excellent. Whats the first email?
Chico: First is from Naples, FL. Hi, Florida.

Gordon: Hi LA - The problem is that although you love music, you don't love women - you love your male personal trainer instead. This is according to eZine magazine and picked up by a number of publications.
Chico: We're going to hell.
Gordon: I'm a doctor that believes in tough love. But there is a solution - you need to join the Constantin Maroulis gravy train and go to Broadway. They will eat you up and you'll be a big star. Then you can leave your ice cream scooping with the boyfriend where you can be the little spoon. Signed, Dr. Gordon.
Chico: Ben & Jerry's.
Gordon: Cherry Garcia
Chico: Next letter...

Gordon: Dear PK - The problem with any small audience show with participation where the participation can influence the action is that a contestant can stack the deck in their favor. And the premise of your show is Shark Tank with an audience. My only advice is to be more flowing with the money and have a lighter, more fun tone than the tank. All of a sudden, I'm getting sleepy....zzzzzzzzzzzz
Chico: ... DOCTOR!
Gordon: umm...wha? I'm awake. Signed, Dr. Gordon. Next one?
Chico: Next one...

Gordon: Dear Drew - You're old news now. Like Vanilla Ice or Flava Flav. However, you could be the newest celebrity for VH1. Go petition them and ask for a series with you and Nick and the rest of your ba...oh wait, already did that. Well, maybe Hip Hop Squares is looking for talent for season 3. Signed, Dr. Gordon.
Chico: Or that failing, Old Navy commercials... hey, Boyz II Men are awesome. Especially live. Letter #4....

Gordon: Dear Purrrfect -You are a fine feline. The kitty that's witty. The cat with all that. I suggest first of all that you see what judges are going to be on Idol and the X Factor. You may get a slot there. If worse comes to worse, you can swing by the Lingerie Bowl, because if there's anything we want to see at the lingerie bowl, it's a fine pussy. Signed, Dr. Gordon.
Chico: Have I said we're going to hell yet?
Gordon: Nurse Chico, what sort of meds did you give Doctor Gordon today? or did you even give me any?
Chico: .... That explains it. These are expired.
Gordon: ...from 1969? Really?
Chico: Expired meds are BAD kids. Letter #5...

Gordon: Dear Ruby - You will find that in life, that you shouldn't really care what people say. Especially those idiots online, who only wish they were in the position that the cheery pudgy man was in. I think the next time you get to be on TV, you need to take your hand, roll it into a fist, and take the middle finger and extend it out. People LOVE it when little kids do that. You'll be the most popular person in the world. Signed, Dr. Gordon.
Chico: There's a meme waiting to happen.
Gordon: I'm doing this for the children.
Chico: By the way, how cool was that skype in with Rachel and baby Ruby? Can we get a video of that?


(video courtesy CBS)

Gordon: It was cool. I'd still like to see Ruby give the finger. Last one?
Chico: Last one...

Chico: ...obviously the wrong doctor there. Last one...

Chico: ... I'd take my chances with the Silent.
Gordon: Dear Nicki - I'm glad you took my advice on the last show. However, if you really want to bed me, you'll show up at the Game Show Marathon this weekend. Chico and I will compete against each other, and you can be the special bonus prize. Wouldn't that be fun, Chico?
Chico: Not as fun as beating you. Tee hee. 24hourgsm.pacdudegames.com
Gordon: I'll give you the advantage - you're used to being up at 2am
Chico: I am. I'm also used to being up on what should and will happen given opportunity x. Yeah. Math skills. Stay tuned, Should & Will is next!
Gordon: We'll get to Chico's skills after the break.

(Brought to you by The X Games factor. Can you sing while skateboadrding a ramp or alpine sliding? Wee Man hosts.)

Chico: Nice. I heard Bob Burnquist was a little pitchy dawg.
Gordon: He didn't have it. Now as we progress to the finales that are the next 2 weeks, time for a little Should and Will time. We start with...

Survivor. Who wins?

Chico: Should: Eddie. Will: Cochran. Because a favorite always wins.
Gordon: Should: Eddie. he deserves it after survivor through two minority alliances. WIll: Cochran. There's no way Cochran will allow Eddie to get to the final 3, and he'll win because of it. Next one...

American Idol. Who wins? Will America care?

Chico: Should: Office finale airing on the same night. Hee hee. Will: Candice. Its like a vocal Hummer vs a vocal Bugatti Veyron. Both have speed and finesse, but Candice has power.
Gordon: Should: Candace and yes. She has a great voice,. Will: Candace and no. With an average of only 12 million people watching, she won't have the fan base to have a significant career. She may get a few R&B hits in the beginning, but I see her going the way of Jordin Sparks, where she may need a tanelt behind her to restart a career.
Chico: In a movie with a dead soul star? Yeah I can see that.
Gordon: I can too. but not as a megastar. Next one...

Dancing With the Stars. The winner is....

Chico: Should: the law firm of Jacoby & Smirnoff. Its NFL for cripes sake. Will... same.
Gordon: Should: Jacoby. The fact that 4 people will make the finals shows me that he will have the edge. Will: Jacoby. NFL players do not lose when they get to the finals. Next one...

The American Idol judges. We know they are all gone. Who replaces them?

Chico: Should: two industry nobodies and a pop star from the mid to late 90s. If you're going to go nuclear, go all the way. Will: a has-been, a would-be, and a never was.
Gordon: Should: Simon / Randy / Paula. Will: Iovine / P. Diddy / Katy Perry / Taylor Swift
Chico: Taylor Swift has the crazy eyes, though.
Gordon: Kanye West would agree with you. Next one...

Donald' Trump's Celebrity Apprentice. Will it see the light of day?

Chico: Should: no. Its part its prime and its run its course, and no amount.of any press is good press is going to save it. Will: ... yes because NBC Nneeds something to put on that hour.
Gordon: Should: No. It needs to be buried alongside the civillian version. Will: Yes, but NOT on NBC proper. Those feeble ratings would look great on a cable channel like CNBC, etc. It wouldn't shock me if it made it's way to Cable - even GSN.
Chico: Not. GSN.
Gordon: We can only dream. Last one...

The Upfronts - will we see a new game show hit?

Chico: Should: yes. There are ideas out there, usually reserved for midseason. Will:.... yes, IF Million Second Quiz does well.
Gordon: Should Yes. Will: Yes. I can see Million Dollar Quiz do VERY well, as long as we get normal humans out there and the production is solid. We'll all find out together.
Chico: Yes we will. And that's a look at Should & Will. Next, a look at Speed and Speedier.
Gordon: That comes after this!
