Episode 28.4 - Greatest Hits
October 3

Jason: ROFL
Chico: Thanks for the qualifier. Welcome back to the show. Thanks for being a part of our weekend and allowing our weekend to be a part of you. Now I have a little problem. My DVR is crying.
Jason: Mine too :)
Chico: I'm sure yours is too, G.
Gordon: It's retching
Chico: It wants its mommy if it's anything like ours. So let's try and sort our schedules out.
Gordon: Shall I start?
Chico: I'd be insulted if you didn't.
Gordon: I would not want that
Gordon: We'll start with...

Dancing With the Stars (The powerhouse show with no names) or The Sing-Off (Talent, but no ratings)

Chico: Watch Sing-Off. Record Dancing. Because I can relate.
Jason: Dancing is NOT must see TV right now.
Gordon: Watch Sing-Off, but for a different reason: The talent on that show this year is better.
Chico: Miles. I think the "real life Glee" deserved to be booted, and as much as I hate to say it, so did Messiah's Men. Dancing, with famous dancers, can't relate. At all. Even if Tom Bergeron is hosting.
Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next..

Top Chef Just Desserts (no fighting, just desserts) or The Ultimate Fighter (no desserts, nonstop fighting)

Jason: Watch TUF, record Top Chef. Last Season on Spike before FX move.
Gordon: Watch TUF, record Top Chef.
Chico: Make it a triple. I already know how to make (insert dessert here). I want to know how to kick someone's ass with honor.
Gordon: I'd rather do the sneak attack thing. Honor doesn't mean much when you're in traction.
Chico: True. It just means that you were the bigger person... or something.
Gordon: Next one...

Let's see how much you dislike The X-Factor. That...or Project Runway?

Jason: Watch...X Factor record Runway
Chico: Watch X Factor. Record Runway.
Gordon: So explain to me why you two hypocrites will still watch the show.
Chico: No, Jason's the hypocrite, I'm the troubleseeker. There's little to no appeal for me to watch 90 minutes of Project Runway. I have a Y-chromosome, after all.
Jason: Because you are giving me a choice of two. I dislike both of these shows. One is a show that's old and running it's course. The other is Project Runway :) So given the choice given, that's my story. Right now...I miss both.
Gordon: I hate X-Factor less than you guys, so I'll watch that. next one?
Chico: Next one...

Oh, here's a goodie... the one-two of Game of Life and Scrabble Showdown, or college football, doesn't matter the game.

Jason: Watch Football. Record the games. TOO Easy :)
Gordon: Life / Scrabble Showdown. There's only a few games of college football a year that I want to watch, and chances are I won't be seeing any of those against that block.
Chico: The one I want to see airs tonight at 8. A backyard brawl, Carolina vs. East Carolina.
Gordon: Go Pirates!
Chico: You would.
Gordon: I did.
Jason: LOL
Gordon: Next one...

America's Next Top Model...or Ton of Cash?

Jason: Watch ANTM, record CASH and apologize to my DVR after :)
Chico: Easy, given that one airs in primetime out of H8R... and one airs after midnight. Watch: Ton of Crap, Record, Top Model. Because I'm usually asleep for Model.
Gordon: Watch Ton of Cash, because I don't want to scar my VCR with it. I can at least setlle with Top Model.
Jason: LOL
Chico: Besides, when the machines become self-aware, it'll suggest you watch MORE VH1 crap.
Gordon: True. last one?
Chico: Last one...

Top Shot or One Man Army.

Jason: Watch One Man Army, Record Top Shot. Both good shows.
Gordon: Watch Top Shot, Record one Man Army for posterity, because...



Jason: OUCH
Chico: Yep. Pulled from the schedule with one show unaired. I guess Hawke really ain't nothing without his woman.
Gordon: Making him a one hand army
Chico: OH!
Jason: OUCH
Gordon: And with that, we'll go to break. More quips next!

(Brought to you by One Hand Army. Who's the fastest? The strongest? The smartest? ... with one hand?)

Jason: ROFL WOW. Too many easy jokes here.
Chico: Yeah, let's just skip all over'em
Gordon: The bad news is that we're dirty rotten people. The good news - is that we do this for your entertainment. And hence, time for some Bad News, Good News.
Chico: Yes, we're dirty. Yes we're rotten. Yes we probably are in need of some therapy. But we're good company.
Gordon: Chico, start it off.
Chico: Okay, first up...

The bad news... Steve Jones apparently SUCKS as host of The X Factor.

Jason: The Good News...Ant & Dec will no longer be known as the Worst Foreign Hosts in the US
Chico: The good news.... Networks will probably never hire Welsh again.
Gordon: The Good News: Thanks to pioneers like Ryan Dunkleman, Vernon Kay and Ant & Dec, there's a game show host support group that can give him the guidance he needs after he gets canned.
Chico: *lips* I'm sorry! Next?
Gordon: Next one.

The bad news: We're going to be stuck watching at least one episode of Who Wants To Date a Comedian

Jason: The good news...it's better than Excused.
Chico: The good news... Amy Schumer has work!
Gordon: The Good News: Jack Benza can extend his own record for game show appearances.
Chico: Woo-hoo!
Gordon: Next one?
Chico: Next...

The bad news: the dancers on "Dancing with the Stars" are more famous than the stars.

Jason: The good news...there are stars on Dancing?
Gordon: The Good News: Maybe we can actually get a winner who's good at DANCING than another Bristol Palin search.
Chico: The good news... hell, if someone can sing, we get another Julianne Hough. All they're missing is a William Shatner game show. That's right, I made a Show Me the Money reference. What'chu gon' do.
Gordon: Ask for the next one
Chico: Imma ask for the next one... NEXT ONE!
Gordon: Next...

The bad news... till Standing, which we've heard a bit about...is Zombie Food.



Chico: The good news... that frees up Ben Bailey for more Cash Cab.
Jason: The good news...what Chico said
Gordon: The Good News: They can return the Russian Roulette Set
Jason: Actually they can use the Russian Roulette set for the Presidential Debates in 2012
Gordon: Can we line them all up with Republicans?
Chico: It's so easy to just throw Michele Bachmann's name in here.
Jason: I said PRESIDENTIAL, not republican. You can't just leave that alone, can you? :)
Chico: I don't like taking chances. Next one...

The bad news: Extreme. Musical. Chairs.

Jason: The good news...falling on your butt...always funny.
Gordon: The Good News: It beats Extreme Musical Excused.
Chico: The good news... maybe we can get Phoebe Tonkin of the Secret Circle to host it. Double duty for the CW.
Gordon: Last one...

The Bad News: The Bachelor will show up in 2012.

Jason: The good news...we can torture Chico for ANOTHER YEAR LOL
Gordon: The Good News: There'll be more Bachelor auditions and Chico may find real love!
Chico: The good news....... The good news....... The GOOD news? Chris Harrison has work?
Gordon: You're struggling, aren't you?
Chico: I'm totally struggling.
Gordon: Maybe a break will set your mind at ease, and then you can say 'I Hate You, Gordon Pepper' afterwards.
Chico: ... okay. Speed Round right after I say "I hate you, Gordon Pepper."

(Brought to you by Kentucky Fried Tar Heels. This week's Flavor: Georgia Tech Yellow Mustard Stingers. How do you feel the sting of seeing your college championship shot disappear? Have some yummy mustard to go with the deep southern taste of our food. Kentucky Fried Tar Heels: Ramses Done Right!)

Chico: Yeah, and how's the College of New Jersey doing?
Gordon: 3-0 going into last nights match
Chico: And afterwards?
Gordon: I dunno. Haven't checked the scores yet. Besides even if we lose, we STILL have a better record than your team - and a shot to win the national title, because we have college football PLAYOFFS.
Chico: Can I say it now?
Gordon: Sure :D
Chico: I hate you Gordon Pepper... and that means it's SPEED ROUND TIME!
Gordon: Survivor: WHo goes to face Christine or Papap Bear?
Jason: Cochran
Chico: Mini-Russell.
Gordon: I'll go with Mini-Russell. Socially, he's in a lot of trouble. DWTS: WHo leaves next?
Chico: Chaz. He's not getting ANY better.
Jason: Chaz sorry.
Gordon: I'll say Chaz as well.
Chico: Amazing Race. Two teams leave. I say the Showgirls and Bill & Cathi
Gordon: I'll agree with that. Neither team has shown much so far.
Chico: Nope.
Jason: I agree.
Gordon: X-Factor: We start to see the groups get selected. Anyone impress you yet?
Chico: I like 4Shore. They're performers. Chris Rene stands out too...
Gordon: The problem that I have so far is that the people with the most talent are also the people who are the most unlikable.
Jason: Who was the "Don't stare At My MOm" person?
Chico: Brian Bradley.
Gordon: The one thing the X Factor hasn't done is make their talent marketable. I think that could be trouble for them down the road.
Jason: I agree.
Chico: Yep.
Chico: If you agree, you should e-mail us. If you disagree... you should ALSO e-mail us.
Gordon: So that ends our show. Special thanks to Jason Block for joining us today
Jason: Always fun. An honor and a privilege
Chico: Next week, we celebrate Halloween early. Because Gordon likes to be early
Gordon: We'll get to that then. For now, this is Gordon, saying Game Over - and Spread the Love.
