|    17 October 2007 - Joe Buck, Mute Math    |

      From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu              Joe Buck:        - Cleveland/Red Sox is not going well, but Buck is in Conan's       living room every night, which is creepy.                - Someone told Conan that Buck places bets -- this could get him       in trouble -- on things in the broadcast. Conan's heard of texting? He       has his phone (``phone?'') hooked up to the ``world-wide web'' on the       ``information superhighway''. Friends will text him words that he has       to fit into the broadcast, and the degree of difficulty depends on the       size of the bet.                - For example, wasabi? He talks about specialty foods at new       stadiums, like, in San Francisco there are Asian specialties with sushi       and soy sauce and wasabi. Then his friend owes him $20. But for $20 he       just turned Buck into a human puppet on national television.                - Conan came up with the phrase 'Jub Jub' on the Simpsons, and       tried for years to get it on, finally getting him to name a salamander       that. Conan's obsessed with the phrase and offers a $1000 charity       donation for getting 'Jub Jub' in there -- but he can't just say, 'Conan       asked me to say ...' It'll be a legit Jub Jub, not some fly-by-night       Jub Jub.                - Not much different from wearing that ridiculous tie LaBamba       gave him. Look what Labamba's wearing tonight. LaBamba was wearing a       hideous tie and they got Buck to wear it on last year's World Series.       His kids love to play with it. And in his dressing room there was ...       *another* of them. Meaning there must be *two of these hideous ties       made. Conan and LaBamba wears those when they go clubbing.                - Conan makes a convincing argument: ``he hit that one deep,       it's back, if it's fair it's good, it's a jub jub!''                - Weird clip: Jonathan Applebaum, funny guy, good closer. The       weird thing: when they clinched their division after fighting off the       Yankees, Jonathan comes back out with teammates in the middle of Fenway       Park and does this dance that's odd-great-erotic-disturbing-everything       wrapped into one. And it's barefoot and really, really weird.                - Buck's got the jub-jub worked out. Conan is careful with his       money and doesn't like charity, so he's interested in seeing it.                - Buck wants to mention if he does get a late night talk show he       hopes there's no weird stuff between him and Conan, it's embarrassing as       he'd had six or seven people back there asking ``can you take me back to       your show?'' Have you ever actually seen Max play drums for Bruce       Springsteen? If Buck gets a late night talk show they'll still be cool,       right? He'd probably be on a half hour earlier. ``I hope you fail.''       ``It's on Fox, how can it not fail?''                     Mute Math:        - From 'Mute Math': Break The Same? I can barely make out the       words.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
