The Don Geronimo Show - April 13, 2012
Today, being Friday, the 13th, Don begins by telling us about the superstitions he had in his "morning zoo" days, and how he would make his interns walk under ladders, break mirrors, etc. on this, the most superstitious of days. Mayor Kevin Johnson is in New York today to discuss the arena deal with Commissioner Stern, and to address the possible issues the Maloof's have with the arena deal they agreed on during the NBA All Star Weekend in Orlando. After talking about another new game Slow Joe has come up with, and the "human Statue Of Liberties" that are seen on the street holding up business signs, Dave explains how to haggle at Asian massage parlors, and Don tells us that his John Wilkes Booth Bobblehead arrived in the mail yesterday, and he pulls it out of the package to show us. He also found an old journal of his son Bart's from 1994, when he was 9 years old. Don reads a few of its contents, including Bart's Christmas list, and the gifts he actually got.
Don and Dave then discuss their love for video games, especially Madden, and talk about yesterday's after-show shenanigans, including Engineer Mark's inside-out polo shirt, the FCC guy and his "ATF" looking jacket, and G.M. Steve telling Dave to "go outside" with his phone conversation. After watching funny game show outtakes and stupid answers, including the infamous "In the butt, Bob," clip (which was actually dirtier than originally thought). The guys watch internet porn based on TV shows such as Big Bang Theory, Family Guy, Home Imporvement, and Scooby Doo. We also hear about a woman who put an ad on Craigslist looking for the guy who knocked her up at a Motorhead concert, and Courtney Love accusing Dave Grohl of hitting on her daughter.
We then cut right to the press conference in New York that the Maloofs are holding regarding the Arena issue. In a very bizarre turn of events, the Maloofs are claiming they never agreed to a deal in Orlando, that a new arena would actually hurt the Sacramento economy, and that they are in support of possibly renovating the Power Balance Pavillion, a move they have been opposed to for almost a decade. The guys, dumbfounded, express their absolute disgust for this sudden turn of events, as it appears that the Maloofs have no desire to stay in Sacramento, despite what they've told us for the past year. Because of the press conference, the "Phantom News Hour" gets skipped, and Don wraps everything up with a caller 100.
