Episode 25.1 - Autumn Rush
September 20

Chico: Hey, it's your internet friend Chico Alexander... and how about the new season, y'all?
Gordon: They certainly didn't start off slow this fall, did it?
Chico: No they did not.
Jason: Damn, son. That's all I have to say.
Robert: Let's just say it was chock full of surprises.
Jason: In 5th gear so to speak.
Chico: And we're not done yet. Let's hit it all at once. From somewhere in America... the Autumn Rush of season 25 of WLTI... IS ... ON!
Jason: WOO!
Chico: Alongside my partner-in-crime-fighting Gordon Pepper, and prestige guests Jason Block and Game Show Garbage's Rob Seidelman.
Jason: Glad to be here. Lots to chat about.
Robert: Nice to bee here as well. Let's get cookin'.
Gordon: Lots of things falling, but we start this week with Jeopardy! records.
Chico: Two words... Roger Craig.
Gordon: And we're not talking football.
Chico: The Monster from Maryland.
Jason: Roger Craig. Truly a great player. He is showing Madden or even Jennings like qualities.
Chico: Not since Ken Jennings have we seen a player worth talking about. Five days so far, $195,801 so far. That's an average of $39,160.20 a game. In the five games he's played... I should probably bring down the board for this...


Roger & J!

- Four of the five games were runaways
- One day record
- Led his opponents by $20,460 going into Final
 

Chico: Said it before, $39,000 and change a game. Five games he's played, all but one of them were runaways.
Gordon: Let's go to 2 specific days during his run. This one is when he breaks the $75,000 one day mark set by Ken Jennings.
Chico: That would be Tuesday.
Gordon: Tuesday's Final Jeopardy, if you will, Mr. Chico?
Chico: Right on. The category is Literary & Movie Title Objects.

The inspiration for this title object in a novel & a 1957 movie actually spanned the Mae Khlung River.

Jason: What is the Bridge On the River Kwai?
Robert: What is the Bridge over the River Kwai?
Gordon: What is Donald Trump's Wig Collection?
Jason: ROFL
Robert: hahah
Chico: Jason and Robert - Right On. Gordon - Absolutely not. It was the Bridge on the River Kwai, and never has a bridge been worth so much. The KJ mark: $75,000. Roger Craig's total... $77,000.
Jason: This was an awesome performance. Beastly. Giant.
Robert: He's also not shy about throwing around his money when it comes to Daily Doubles. That set him up for this spot.
Chico: Yep. He's a lion. Second mark, G?
Gordon: Second would be Friday, where he sets a record for most amount for a 5 day champion.
Chico: The Final Jeopardy! category: Rivers. Again with the rivers.

These 2 rivers, each more than 1000 miles long, rise in the Armenian Plateau in Turkey.

Chico: Let's start with Rob first.
Robert: What are the Tigris & The Euphrates?
Chico: Jason?
Jason: What are the Tigris and Euphrates?
Chico: And Captain Wrong.
Gordon: Who are Joan and Melissa Rivers, with their miles of plastic surgery skin implants?
Jason: ROFL
Robert: Groan.
Chico: Correct response is Philip Rivers and Rivers Cuomo... They got the magic in you...
Robert: hahahha
Chico: No, but Rob and Jay are right. Interesting fun fact. Going into the final for all five games, Roger managed to average a lead of over $20,000. $20,460 to be exact. And Roger will go for six and beyond next week, but it wasn't just the week of Roger Craig... I've been waiting three long months to say this.. LET'S HIT REWIND.
Gordon: It's a Week of Champions Rewind!

(GSNN Rewind)

Chico: Starting with America's Got Talent. Your most talented guy of 2010... a guy with a guitar.
Jason: Yawn.
Chico: Though one would argue with Jackie Evancho, America loves a guy with a guitar.
Robert: Blah.
Chico: It's boring, really, but there you are.
Jason: Very.
Chico: Ask noted guitarist and noted lothario John Mayer.
Gordon: Also ask Kris Allen...and Lee DeWyze...and David Cook...and...
Chico: America loves... a guy with a guitar. Pagliacci operatics, little kids, and performance art.. not so much. Although you could make a case for any one of the four. Except for Prince Poppycock, really.
Gordon: Well to defend America here, Prince Poppycock sang the wrong choice, Fighting Gravity made a major error, and Jacke Evancho selected the wrong song. If you're going to win a million, you don't sing an opera song that every single opera singer has done.
Chico: So Michael Grimm just walked into it. Of course, the fact that he's a guy with a guitar doesn't hurt.
Jason: Not at all.
Robert: It's the status quo of talent competitions these days. People enjoy it and will vote for it.
Chico: Right on.
Gordon: We move to Big Brother, where Hayden wins the final HOH, takes Lane to the final two, and wins the $500,000.
Chico: This is what Hayden had to do to win it. And close as it was, he did it.
Gordon: We all called that it should be the game plan. Kudos to him for following it.
Robert: Agreed.
Jason: And it was a pretty good season overall. That why it will be on next year.
Chico: And they made no secret of that fact.
Gordon: Next up - Top Chef. Angelo was the better chef throughout the first half of the season, but he falters late, which allows Kevin to be the first African-American to win the title.
Chico: I think this was a case of winning in the clutch. I mean, one of those things where it honestly doesn't matter what you did over the season, as long as you win it where it counts.
Gordon: That's always been Top Chef's Mantra.
Jason: Usually the way. You have to be there all the way
Robert: I thought the last few challenges in the Orient were the toughest ever for the chefs. Kevin managed to persevere over the others and was rewarded because of it.
Jason: You can't be good at the beginning and fizzle out at the end
Chico: True that, true that.
Gordon: Angelo gets sick at the end and Ed just makes too many mistakes, including him not trusting his Season Champion (Ilan Hall) assigned to him as a sous chef.
Chico: Dude, you gotta learn to trust your crew.
Robert: You gotta trust someone who's been there at the end no matter what. It's just simple knowledge.
Chico: That's just easy.
Jason: What about Masterchef?
Chico: Whitney Miller. Strong all the way.
Gordon: Whitney wins it and it's also well-deserved.
Chico: Started as the favorite.. faltered a bit.. but in the end, won it where it counts. She wins the cash and the cookbook deal... AND the title.
Jason: And a season 2 in the works.
Robert: One of the key things as a champ. Gotta persevere and don't let past problems hinder you. Ed couldn't persevere in Top Chef. Whitney could and that's why she won.
Chico: Valid points, both of them.
Gordon: Very true. And that's the rewind.
Chico: Yay.

(End Rewind)

Chico: Now we go to the new season. And the two big moves we had our eyes on... First up, Hold on... *puts on crash helmet*... Millionaire.
Gordon: The NEW Millionaire, with the new format. Now Chico, you liked it?
Chico: I didn't think it was as bad as it was going to be. Granted, it's NOT MILLIONAIRE, but the format's still solid. Meredith is as good as ever, though I wouldn't have had much issue if they called it something else.
Gordon: And on the other side, I present to you...Jason Block (ducks)
Chico: *ducks*
Jason: I watched the show. Now, as Chico said it may be a solid game, but it's NOT MILLIONAIRE and shouldn't be called as such. And the fact they used the contestants to shill the new show irked me. "Hey I don't miss the Hot Seat." Shenanigans.
Chico: Yeah, I had a big issue with that. For me, Millionaire was always about the players.
Robert: They'll more than likely use the celebrities to further shill the new format.
Jason: And the fact they have to use celebrities in week 2...BAD SIGN.
Chico: Oh boy. That oughta be fun.
Jason: It doesn't have the same feel, energy, or anything about the show at all. This is a shell of its former self.
Chico: I mean, put the game as central, put the players as central, but let the action flow naturally. Don't force ANYTHING.
Gordon: Your turn, Rob.
Robert: I agree with Jason, but I have more venom than he does.
Chico: *ducks*
Robert: I absolutely abhor everything about the new format. Is it just me or did they see 5th Grader's set and think, "Hey, let's take their contestant desk, make it an ugly podium. Take their big screen and put that where our monitor is."
Chico: Basically.
Robert: Then, we'll add more bright lights around the set, and voila! MAGIC!
Chico: They figured out that magic #2 step that leads to step 3, profit.
Robert: Millionaire: Once the flag-bearer of sets has now descended into mediocrity. Then the new Music package is god-awful. It sounds like something used for a 200-level newscast. The 2 round format is utter garbage and I hope the show fails miserably.
Chico: Okay, Gordon, your thoughts.
Gordon: Now I'm not grading the show based on 'Millionaire' or the Millionaire brand. I'm basing this as a show on it's own accord. To me, this is very ill-conceived, and it reminded me of It's Your Chance of a Lifetime. Not a good comparison. Robert is dead on with both the visuals and the audio. It's utterly minimalist visually, there's nothing catchy about the audio, and both seems to be created with the intent of saving a buck. As far as the gameplay: Not only is it a huge step back from 'Millionaire', but it doesn't even work as a standard quizzer. Answer 10 questions at random amounts of money for your pot has no strategic value whatsoever and by only using the audience and two 'Skips' (since that's what they are, not 'Jump the Questions'), you're completely draining any strategic element in this show. The 'Jump the Questions' don't do anything to the game except slow it down, which means less contestants and less money given out. You have random question values which slow down the game thanks to wasting time on the reveal, you have the question difficulty ramped way up, and you have contestants that you wonder how they got on the show. All of this adds up to the equivalent of the trivia version of Supercoin if they played it at the $25,000 level.
Jason: ROFL
Robert: Ouch.
Chico: At least the Jump is still usable in round 2.
Gordon: The problem with the Jump is that it will skip the question but pass on the level. So let's say you're at $100,000 and you jump. You do NOT win the $100,000. You're just jumping to the 250K question, so unless you get the 250K question right, you're still techincally at the pot level, and not the $100,000 level. Get it wrong or pass and it's the first 10 question value that you get.
Robert: The contestants that they pick won't make it through the first 10 questions without using both jumps.
Gordon: I don't disagree there, either.
Chico: I mean, this could've worked anywhere else, but when you're the second-best quiz show on television, It demands a standard.

D C- F F D-

Gordon: I disagree with you, Chico. This doesn't work anywhere else. It's a bad trivia format that we'd be hammering if it wasn't under the Millionaire format. D.
Chico: ... Heheh. C-
Jason: I give this an F for failure. Sorry.
Robert: The clock was bad, the new format is much worse. The set and new music makes it more generic than it should be. With that, F
Chico: I'll end on this: somewhere the Strachan Brothers, who composed the legendary "duh-duh-duh-duhduhduhduh-duuuuuuuuh" theme, are making phone calls.
Gordon: The show will save on their budget. This reminds me of the Ally Bank commercials when they have the girl with the fake pony looking at the real one. The pony is alllll the way over there. I actually don't think we'll see a $250,000 winner, let alone a million dollar winner.
Chico: The other big change... Steve Harvey picks up the mantle of Richard Dawson to call the Family Feud. Now if you get the double runs, you can say that his first year is going to be a tale of two seasons.
Jason: How do you mean?
Chico: Well, the first run of shows are the first ones taped. Steve Harvey is very green, he's sticking to what he knows and that is observational humor and trying to get to the end without losing anyone.
Gordon: The second run is him with around a month of shows under his belt.
Chico: By then, he's a better conduit... he incorporates some elements of what's going on. He's got a better grasp by the second-run's showing.
Jason: If that's true, that bodes well for the show. And I can't believe I am saying this. Because what I saw...I liked. He has a totally different vibe than O'Hurley. More Party Host than classy guy. And I liked it.
Chico: Yeah, this is one of those get-the-whole-family watching runs now.
Gordon: I agree. The first shows of him are dreadful. He's trying to pander to the audience and cracking his own jokes without moving the show. However, what I did like was the producers changing the format. By removing the pointless Bulls-Eye round and going back to single, single, double, triple, you give Harvey more time to get into his own element.
Jason: Yes.
Chico: He's the same old Steve Harvey, but by then, you realize that yeah, he's doing what Fremantle is paying him to do... but he's doing it his way.
Jason: I think he learned from the Millionaire debacle.
Chico: Agreed.
Jason: Which means I am eating a slice of humble pie.
Robert: And that means he'll do much better than what people have forecasted.
Gordon: And I was one of the negative forecasters, but I am pleasantly surprised. What I like the most, and I'll gladly eat my words from last time, is that Harvey has a VERY firm grasp on how the show works. In the second run, he's really smooth on the direction on the game. In my mind, Harvey has his own persona, channeling a lot of Richard Dawson into his hosting.
Chico: So it's all good, but I will say this... why are we recycling surveys? Our Feud correspondent Jason Huhn has been pointing this out as needed.
Gordon: A lot of these surveys are also shown on the Family Feud internet game.
Robert: Yeah, that is weird. Well, they could easily reuse Survey questions and poll another group of 100 and get a different batch of answers.

Chico: But that's a minor tweak. Overall, I'm loving what I'm seeing. I'm seeing what I'm loving. And I can't wait for more. B-
Gordon: I'm not at the love stage yet, but I will say that it's coming along much better than I expected, and better than what it deserves to be.
Chico: Yeah, the Orlando set is a lot more poppy, a lot more colorful. Vibrant, even.
Robert: What kills me though is that the editing in some spots is horrendous. However, I am digging Steve Harvey as host, including the brighter set. I'll give it a B
Jason: My grade so far: B-
Gordon: Maybe Harvey is the kick the show needed. So I'll surprisingly say well-done, and though I'll hold judgment, Harvey may be the perfect host in this stage of the show's existence. B-.
Chico: Agreed. Okay. Good stuff coming from Universal Orlando and Joey Fatone. 10 years ago, a pop star; now... Art James. Just sayin'.
Gordon: 2 thumbs up for Fatone. Good grade for Family Feud. Bad grade for Wendy Jo, as we begin our first installment of...



Chico: As Wendy Jo proves the point, you don't speak to the Probst unless spoken to, and if you do, you better say something important. Wendy Jo does neither.
Gordon: Wendy Jo pretty much talked her way out of the game, showing people why she shouldn't be allowed to stick around.
Jason: That was desperation right there.
Chico: Gee. You THINK?!
Jason: BTW...Medallion of Power sounds like something from He-Man and the Masters of the Universe.
Chico: Or Power Rangers.
Robert: I think it was used in VR Troopers.
Gordon: Superhuman Cyber Samurai Squad?
Chico: The way it works is that whoever has hold of the Medallion of Power gives their team a statistical advantage in challenges. The older group used it, but it didn't do them any good as La Flor wins the challenge, and in essence, sends Wendy Jo packing.
Jason: Jimmy Johnson intrigues me.
Chico: How so?
Jason: He is saying "I can't win the Million." Though he is playing like he wants it.
Chico: I noticed that. Almost playing the non-contestant.
Gordon: He's playing the game well. The downside here is that he's easily the tribe's weakest link, and he could be a victim of numbers if they keep losing challenges.
Jason: He is like Taj.
Chico: He's a coach in every sense.
Robert: Yeah, but I think at the very least, he'll be out by Day 15. If they do keep on losing, he's got the presence to help motivate the team.
Gordon: I don't think so, Rob. I think at the beginning it's a physical by the numbers elimination. Which is why I also think the ladies may be in some early trouble on La Flor.
Chico: Say what you will about Jimmy, but he's clawing his way into the game. The same cannot be said for the ladies.
Gordon: But here's something you don't see a lot of - the guys working together, and them not trying to be the alpha male. Sort of shades of Big Brother, when you had the Brigade with the dumb guys working together. You're seeing this on the La Flor tribe.
Jason: Yup.
Chico: That is indicative of their win.
Robert: Right.
Gordon: Could we see an all-guy alliance actually work on Survivor?
Robert: Yeah.
Chico: Oh yeah.
Jason: Stranger things have happened.
Chico: I mean, if you have Chris Daugherty, who come back from nothing to win the game, ANYTHING can happen.
Gordon: Like Tiffany Coyne hanging out with a llama?
Chico: Yes.
Gordon: We continue our Fall Specials with this:



Chico: Kick it off, G.
Gordon: Kicking it off...

Question #1: How is Wayne and company going to outdo themselves this season?

Chico: Gotta go with what works. Rapport, game play, party atmosphere.
Jason: Simple. They don't have to outdo. They have to be better at what they started. Build on the foundation they have. Don't let the Emmy nod and the good ratings get to their head.
Gordon: I think they will do fine. I think it's up to the writers and producers to outdo themselves with the Zonks and Games. Keep in mind that TPIR always adds new games. LMAD needs to do the same.
Robert: I honestly think that's what they'll do. Wayne is a really good host in many formats, and Jonathan and Tiffany are great in their roles too. They follow that and they'll be fine.
Gordon: Next question?
Chico: Next question...

Question #2: Now that the folks at LMAD have established themselves, when will the daytime landscape take notice and add their own games?

Jason: When the ratings belie it. And when Julie Chen's show bombs nuclearly.
Robert: ABC won't because AMC, OLTL and GH are still good ratings getters for them.
Gordon: I don't think we're there yet. LMAD averaged a 2.2, which is nice, but it's not a 4.0 or 5.0 like TPIR had. If they hit those numbers (or if Julie Chen and the Ninny Nanies Bombs), then CBS may think about it.
Robert: NBC might if people get tired of the 4th hour of Today with Hoda Kotb and Kathie Lee.
Chico: I'm tired and I don't even watch it.
Gordon: Next one...

Question #3: Rumors about that Wayne doesn't want to stay on the show forever. Is this his last season?

Jason: No I don't think so.
Chico: I don't think so. Not when he's getting that much props.
Jason: I think he needs to make the show his.
Chico: Granted, he'll bow out when he thinks that it's time (much like the O'Hurleys of the world), but now isn't it.
Robert: No, he'll be there for a few years. I think Wayne will leave when the show hits year 5 or something along those lines.
Gordon: I don't think this will be his last season, but keep in mind that Wayne Brady shows do not have a long shelf life and you may want to take note of this. Next question?
Chico: Next question...

Question #4: Sister show TPIR has had a history of surprises as of late. Are we going to see the same from LMAD this year?

Jason: Who knows...why not. Always expect the unexpected
Robert: I don't think so. LMAD is still a young show, continuing to build its audience.
Gordon: I'm sure we will, but I don't know if it will be as time-sensitive as TPIR's. Keep in mind that they have a different schedule and aren't as quick in terms of tapings, though if they tape in LA instead of Vegas, that will change.
Chico: They have moved to LA, officially.
Robert: If they're going to do a big surprise, they'll do a host switch between either Wayne and Jonathan or Wayne and Drew for April Fools.
Jason: I would love that
Gordon: That could be fun. Last question...

Question #5: Last season, Let's Make a Deal averaged a 2.2. This season, Let's Make a Deal will average...

Robert: A 2.7
Jason: a 2.4
Chico: I'm going to guess a 2.5 under the box, Wayne.
Gordon: 2.5. I think it gets better. Now Fluffy has a deal for you.
Chico: I'm ready, Fluffy.
Jason: Me too
Gordon: Either the envelope or the small box.
Jason: BOX!
Robert: I'll take the envelope.
Chico: Envelope.
Gordon: Jason gets the Box, and gets...50 pounds of hamster hair (ZONK!)
Chico: HA HA!
Jason: As usual :)
Gordon: Inside the envelope...is a card... that reads...'Roll That beautiful Brain Footage'.

(Doug: Live, local, and latebreaking... From the four corners of the globe to your frontal lobe, this is WLTI Brainvision News, and now here's Gordon Pepper, Chico Alexander, and the award-winning Brainvision News Team)

Chico: Thank you, Doug. Gordon's got the Week 2 calendar...
Gordon: I do, and it's a biggun...

Monday gives us 5th Grader, Dancng With The Stars, Don't Forget the Lyrics, Let's Make a Deal, The Price is Right...(Breathes)...Turesday is The Biggest Loser, and Wednesday is Hell's Kitchen.

Gordon: (Exhales)
Robert: My DVR's gonna asplode.
Jason: BOOM
Chico: Mine's gonna melt. Holy moley. Also on the calendar - a baseball bat. And it's... a microphone.
Jason: (hands Chico the Microphone shaped Bat)
Chico: My baseball bat is a microphone.

September 22, the wait is over. Fox will officially reveal your season 10 American Idol judging panel. Randy Jackson expected to stay on as head judge. Frontrunners for the positions vacated by the other three, of course, Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez. BUT stranger things have happened, so stay tuned.

Gordon: What about a greenlight?
Chico: Oh doctor, do I have a few of those...And much like Gordon, I'm going to need a breath...
Gordon: (gives Chico an oxygen tank)

NBC has greenlit a pilot of "That's a Record" from Jimmy Fallon, Chris Hardwick hosting.... *breathes*

Gordon: That's a Record...Wanna Bet, anyone?

E! has greenlit "Bridalplasty" for brides looking to be perfect for their wedding day... Shanna Moakler hosting fresh off her win on Minute to Win It... *breathes*

Gordon: Yay?

Hulk Hogan was tapped to host "Hogan's Court", which is what it sounds like... Big Brother gets the big renewal... *breathes*

Gordon: Well deserved renewal.

And four game show heavyweights have pooled their resources for MIPCOM. Them being Scott Sternberg, Scott Satin, Andrew Glassman, and Craig Piligian.

Chico: *exhales deeply*
Jason: oh boy
Gordon: Walk it off, Chico.
Chico: *Walks it off*
Robert: Wow. That is a powerhouse team.
Gordon: Sure is. Hopefully, they can deliver.
Chico: That's like the Justice League of game show producers...
Gordon: So do you know who you would induct into the league of morons?
Chico: Besides Wendy Jo? =p
Gordon: Besides her.
Chico: No clue. But Gordon Pepper's gonna tell me.
Gordon: He is. I have 2 inductees here.

Are YOU Smarter than...Spencer and Heidi, who are allegedly detained in Costa Rica for illegal arms possession?

Jason: Oh boy.
Chico: This before or after Heidi loses her top?
Gordon: Well, you could say that's ALSO illegal contraband.
Chico: Ha.
Gordon: This before they will allegedly make up and reconcile...like their friends said they would do months ago, as they allege this is all being staged so they can stay in the spotlight.
Jason: (shakes head)
Chico: Just ignore them. If you ignore them, they will go away.
Gordon: See the problem is that they WILL stay in the spotlight, though with a complete loss in credibility. Ask Jessica Simpson how that publicity helped her.
Chico: Not really.
Gordon: Who wants some Haterade?
Chico: Me!
Jason: (puts cup down)
Robert: I'm always game for some Haterade.

Britney Hayes showed tears when she was voted in 4th on Big Brother. Now she has a real reason to cry as her new house burns down while she's in the Big Brother house.

Jason: Not cool.
Chico: That's never good.
Robert: Damn. That is just awful.
Gordon: So we're hoping Britney gets some aid for her new house. I'm guessing she may want to go on vacation.
Chico: Yep. Probably doesn't want to go to South Africa. Or if she does, she doesn't want to get into a fight at the Big Brother house.

Houseguest Harrington Kuteesa broke the show's rules when he assaulted a fellow contestant. M-Net responded by Chima-ing him out of the house.

Jason:
uh oh
Robert: I'm speechless.
Chico: Not much more needs be said.
Gordon: That's some Haterade there. And none of them will be hoes of the week.
Chico: Nope.
Gordon: But here's some for you.
Chico: *plays "Pimpin' All Over the World"*

In this week's Hodometer, Mario Lopez has a baby girl, Jordin Sparks gets bitten by a dog, The Harlem Globetrotters show up on 5th Grader...Jillian Michaels goes the GoDaddy Route, Hulk Hogan goes to court, Don Pardo talks retirement...Bob Barker is released for dehydration, Ben Bailey heads to Charlotte, and Jennifer Hudson has a new, slimmed-down body.

Gordon: But none of them are the hoes of the week.
Chico: I think I know who it is.
Gordon: And Chico thinks he knows who it is.
Chico: Does he play announcer?
Gordon: He does.
Chico: Is he the new host of TPIR Live in Vegas?
Gordon: He is.
Chico: He's Joey Fatone, y'all.
Gordon: He is. He's the newest busiest game show guy.
Jason: Singing Bee veteran host. TPIR live is NOT an easy gig. Lets hope he does well.
Gordon: Agreed. And those...are your hoes.
Chico: And finally, let's get loaded...
Robert: Yummy.
Jason: (HIC)

Got an iPad? Then you have The Price is Right and Press Your Luck in HD.

Chico: Again, they play like their bigger console cousins, but with the convenience of a touch screen.
Jason: They still need to work some bugs out to make the games better.
Chico: Sure do
Gordon: You can read some of our earlier columns for our reviews on both games. And that's Brainvision. Shut it down.
Jason: (shutting down)
Chico: Still to come, the World's Longest Fall Preview continues with toilets and a suggestion from yours truly that has to do with a Dancing With The Stars contestant. We'll find out what that is in a moment. This is We Love to Interrupt: the 25th Season. You give us 22 minutes, we'll give you 22 cheeseburgers. Trust us on this.
Gordon: NO! NOT THE WHOPPERRETTES!!!!!
Chico: YES!
Gordon: NOOOOOO!
Jason: NOOOOO!
Chico: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Robert: I loved those commercials.
Chico: See you on the other side, folks.

(BrainVision has been brought to you by Kentucky Fried Tarheels. Now with Ofer Holes, As in O-Fer the season. This week's flavor is Tampa Bay BuccaBerry. Kentucky Fried Tarheels. Ramses done right!)
