Jason: LOL
Chico: Faster than 25 cents ought to move.
Gordon: Faster than 60 seconds.
Jason: Faster than a tall water cooller...
Chico: Welcome back to WLTI. He's Gordon Pepper. I'm Chico Alexander. We're
joined by Bill Block's kid.
Jason: Thank you. Proud to be it :)
Chico: Next up, we're going to play a game we actually premiered on the first
podcast of season 2 of WLTI Live, which you can listen to over at CLW83.com.
It's called...
Chico: ...Shark Watch. And I see a shark.
Jason: This is a fun game.
Gordon: You know we have that shark jumping moment when you see what could be
the end of a show.
Chico: Well, we give you a moment or an instance and we say whether or not we
see a shark coming in the distance because of it.
Gordon: Hence the game which is called....SHARKWATCH. I'll start.
The
booting of Nigel Lythgoe and Ken Warwick on Idol. What do you see?
Jason: I see the entire shark population of the Pacific. There's a boatload of
blood.
Chico: I see a Swedish fish getting eaten by TWO sharks. Everything has its time
and everything ends... EVEN AMERICAN IDOL.
Gordon: I see a u-boat from Sweden. I actually think Nigel was right when he
said they went away from what the show should have been - which is a FAMILY show
and not geared towards the young kids. They let the demographic marketers hurt
the show, but because of my love for Idol. I'll give it a chance with a new
producer.
Chico: You're a better man than I. Next...
A
tie on MasterChef requiring another Team Challenge and another Pressure Test
among the four that utterly failed the first Team Challenge/Pressure Test round.
What do you see?
Jason: I don't see a shark. I see lots of pots...of boiling water. This is how
you do it right. Nothing to see here.
Gordon: I see Shark Fin soup. Completely irrelevant in terms of the series
longeveity.
Chico: Indeed. I see sushi.
Gordon: Yum. Next one...
The
firing of Howie 'The Schwab' from ESPN due to salary reasons. What do you see?
Chico: I see the guy made of money from the Geico commercials running away on a
jetski the die was already cast.
Jason: I see a man with a suitcase and a tablet. This isn't shark bait, this is
business.
Gordon: I see a shark. In a shark tank. You do NOT get rid of one of the best
people in the business because of salary.
Chico: No sir.
Jason: No you don't.
Gordon: So either this was because of salary, in which case ESPN has bigger
issues than we think, or there's something else in this story, which means we
don't know all of it. Regardless, this is a horrible move by ESPN if it's the
former.
Chico: And it sucks, because the Schwab was basically before the whole wave of
"embrace debate". Now it's like... I'm counting down the days until August 17.
Jason: crappy all around.
Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next one.
Cedric
the Entertainer is your new host on Millionaire. What do you see?
Jason: I see a shark with a hat on it.
Chico: In a three piece suit.
Jason: One and done.
Chico: Yes, we did this one on the podcast, but we wanted to get J's take.
Jason: Thank you.
Gordon: I do see a shark, but it's an older one with an electric eel. I think
the shark will be bayed for a season, but I don't think it will get the
resurgence they are looking for.
Chico: I thnk they get curiosity numbers, but expect those to fade.
Gordon: Next one...
3
contestants on The Chase instead of the traditional 4. What do you see?
Jason: I see the shark circling.
Chico: I see a guppy. I mean, this is minor. They can come up with something
that'll make it seem trivial and you'll watch the show, and it's all good, then
this is just eh, I'll live.
Gordon: I see a big fat whale that looks like Mark Labbett. With less people to
go after and less of a team in the Final Chase, I expect him to at least go 6-2
if not 7-1.
Jason: OUCH
Chico: Can't wait to see. Early August, by the way, is what I'm hearing.
Jason: Right
Gordon: Last one?
Chico: Last one.
The
big red couch (ahem, gimmick infringement FTW!) on the Daytime Emmy stage. What
do you see?
Jason: I see a shark who is knocking into the satellite truck and video
production truck. Who booked this crap?
Gordon: I see a new producer riding on a shark to save the show.
Chico: Let's jus get this out of the way now. HLN should never have the Daytime
Emmys again. Robin Meade is not an award show host, nor is she a stage singer.
Jason: Gordon could do this with his eyes closed.
Chico: The producer obviously has never produced anything, otherwise, he
would've told Wayne Brady to stick to script. And that's Shark Watch. After the
break, we roll out the toilet for one more go.
Jason: Cant wait.
Gordon: Roll it out..after this!
(Brought to you by Where in Another World is Carmen Sandiego? Three kid
victims of soap-opera rapid aging syndrome will have to question daytime divas
in order to find the world's ultimate master criminal.)
Jason: DUDE :)
Chico: Going OLD SCHOOL on that.
Gordon: (Pulls out the toilet). Now THIS is old school
Chico: No supertoilet? Going with the standard?
Gordon: It felt right this week.
Jason: )
Chico: Right. And if you remember, we broke it last week.
Gordon: Start us off Chico.
Chico: We start the final round with...
