9:35 – There was a porn parody of the Jersey Shore that came out in February called Jersey Shore: XXX, starring John Espizedo as “The Predicament.” Shooting has begun on a gay parody version called The Jersey Score starring Kevin Cavalie as “Pauly G.” John Espizedo and Kevin Cavalie are the same person.
15:50 – Seth was watching The Tonight Show this week and saw a band featuring a man wearing a New York Yankees hat and think Run-DMC gold chain and a man dressed up like a KISS vampirey guy playing guitar. It was Limp Bizkit. The song was “Take A Look Around,” the theme song of Mission: Impossible 2, which came out in May 2000.
36:04 – What Would You Do? with John Quinones. They leave a bike locked up at a park and show a white kid stealing it – even at one point with a saw and welding goggles – and they don’t do anything. When the black kid walks near the bike, people start overreacting and yelling at him, pulling out cell phones and calling anybody they can. Then they took a really hot girl and had her steal the bike, and tell guys who walked by that she’s stealing it and needs help. One married guy offers his help while the wife sits there. A Yale psychologist said “Men behave irrationally around attractive women.” One guy just lifted the bike off the sign it was on instead of messing with the lock.
1:05:38 – A company, Mead-Johnson’s Enfagrow, has a transitional baby formula called The Premium Chocolate Toddler Formula.
25:50 – US Weekly says that Jim Carrey tweeted 114 times on April 28. Many of them and almost all tweets since then at some point read #boing
40:44 - Dos Roberes
Games That Jonathan and Seth Play
34:48 – Seth ponders, If you put Nicolas Cage and Jim Carrey in a jail cell, who would come out alive? Jah picks Carrey, Seth picks Cage.
35:30 – Seth ponders, If you put Jim Caviezel in a jail cell do-or-die with Joel McHale, who would come out alive? Both pick Caviezel.
2:24 – Jah needs to apologize, because from the moment Seth told him to see Hubble in 3D (Episode 209, 46:33), everything Jah did before that was basically a false reality he was living. He needs to thank Seth for allowing him the opportunity to set that straight. Jah loved it.
11:48 – Jah remembers trying to rent some sort of risqué movie at Blockbuster when he was a kid and getting called out for it.
14:34 – Seth quit Rocket Video on 9/11 because he had things to deal with in his country. He thought the place was going to fold in four months but they’re still open somehow. This was shortly after he met Jonathan while working there (Episode 010, 39:38). Seth admits he still goes to the Blockbuster on Larchmont all the time because he loves to walk the aisles.
20:07 – Seth saw Scott Wieland at a Whole Foods in Sherman Oaks once, just stood next to him and nodded. He was getting some kefir for his awesome body.
21:22 – Jah knew some people in his life who got into Starbucks stock when it was starting off. Seth reveals that Jah had some stocks with Macintosh back in the day, but sold them before they got really hot.
28:41 – Seth talked about the market research he went to where he watched the worst sitcom he had ever seen (Episode 215, 22:07), then discovered this week that Keep Hope Alive had been picked up by Fox. It’s from Greg Garcia, who brought us My Name Is Earl.
39:27 – Jah wonders if Seth ever did anything crazy because a girl was getting him to do it. Jah doesn’t think he ever did it either. He never stole a car.
3:30 – If you can’t get to Hubble this week, get to a newsstand and pick up your June issue of Playboy this week and take a look at the 3D centerfold. The even more amazing thing about this edition of Playboy is that it features the first-ever playmate born in the 1990s (Episode 084, 51:05; Episode 091, 16:42; Episode 147, 53:02). Her name is Katie Vernola, and she’s Miss June. The pictoral is entitled “Little Surfer Girl.” She was born on Oct. 21, 1991. In Seth’s research, there was an October ’89, a November ’89, a December 89’, and then it just jumped to 1991.
5:35 – Jah lists off the most popular baby names of 2009 (Episode 070, 41:29; Episode 099, 36:33; Episode 145, 5:26; Episode 166, 7:38). Top 3 boys: 1) Jacob, 2) Ethan, 3) Michael. Top 3 girls: 1) Isabella, 2) Emma, 3) Olivia. Some other boys names – 159) Tanner, 194) Camden, 267) Kyler, 347) Greyson, 436) Talon, 583) Remington, 700) Sincere, 718) Gage, 879) Krish, 991) Chaz, 994) Stone, 30) Jonathan, 140) Seth. There are also a bunch of names that are so played out that you have to spell them differently: Brittneigh, Midisyn, Chyse. Some other girls names – 241) Delaney, Brielle, Dolce, Bailey, Ainsley, Journey, Brisa, Briley, Paityn, Karma, Mary Jane.
13:03 – Movie Gallery, who also owns Hollywood Video – the second-biggest movie rental chain behind Blockbuster – will be closing 2,415 locations.
17:44 – Seth got the lineup for the KROQ annual Weenie Roast, being held Saturday, June 5 at the Verizon Wireless Ampitheatre in Los Angeles. The headliners are Stone Temple Pilots, Sublime w/ Rome and Hole.
22:20 – People across the country who suffer from allergies have been turning to things called “salt rooms.” They have halo therapy, a 45-minute session that costs around $45. Designed to mimic salt caves in Eastern Europe, proponents claim its benefits extend to respiratory problems and skin conditions. The walls, floors and ceilings are coated in salt while generators grind salt into tiny particles and blow it into the air you are breathing. You sit in a chair and let the salt wash over your entire body.
32:51 – The 1940 Bel-Air estate, until recently owned by Nic Cage, is back on the market for $12.75 million. Its former owners include entertainer Dean Martin and singer Tom Jones. Cage lost the trophy home at a foreclosure auction earlier in April. The baronial mansion, at 11,800 square feet, has a central tower, custom wine cellar, 35-seat home theater, six bedrooms and nine bathrooms. It has a brick paved motor home and a basketball court. The gated house, now empty of Cage’s belongings and furniture, was open to real estate agents last week. Missing, too, are the 35 bronze wall sconce holders made from a cast of the Oscar winner’s arm.
43:02 – A satellite orbiting the earth right now called Galaxy 15 had its electronic brain fried by a solar storm and has gone rogue. It is being called a zombie satellite. It’s hurtling through outer space at about 22,000 miles per hour above the earth and the wayward equipment could possibly hit other orbiting satellites and knock out our television throughout the entire country.
46:25 – Movieline is reporting that the jive-talking, illiterate, gold-toothed robots from Transformers 2, Mudflap and Skids (Episode 172, 12:49), will not return for July 2011’s Transformers 3. Seth read the comments portion of this story, and people were comparing them to the Jar-Jar Binks of the Transformers world. A man who goes by the name “Lucas” defended the characters: “Yes, they were racist, but these bots got all their knowledge from TV and movies, and that is the way that blacks have been depicted.”
48:47 – The rise of dude food, or bachelor chow. Spencer Walker has taken the “recipes that will get you laid” from his popular food blog and published a book this week called Cook to Bang. “Cunny linguini,” “Beat yo’ meat salad,” “Bust a nut squash,” “Diddle that cous-cous,” “Eggs beg-a-dick,” “Fishy pink tacos,” “Don’t catch crabs dip,” “Spank my halibut,” “Eat-a my pita sinwich,” and “Pop their cherry jubilee.”
54:23 – The only way to determine a lake sturgeon’s sex currently is to examine its internal sexual organs. While analyzing DNA from the gonads of lake sturgeons, Purdue University researchers found that the sturgeon genome contains a gene called trematode that didn’t originally belong to it and may harbor a protozoan parasite that causes a sexually transmitted disease in humans.
56:58 – There has been a movement in the medical world to possibly change the standard colors of the standard-issue hospital gowns. Scientists Mark Changizi and Kevin Rio believe the venerable hospital gown needs a makeover. In a study published recently in the journal Medical Hypotheses, they argue that the typical hospital gown colors — usually a solid blue or green or a print on a white background — may not help health professionals see if skin tones are changing, signaling a serious condition such as cyanosis. Cyanosis produces a blue or purplish color to the skin and mucous membranes, signifying that there may be less oxygen in the bloodstream. Pale or yellow-tinged skin can signal other health problems. One solution, they suggest, is to give patients gowns and sheets that are close in color to their skin tone.
1:23 – Jah apologizes ahead of time for putting Seth at a slight disadvantage technologically by forgetting cables tonight. They’re coming to us from a campfire setting tonight.
32:21 – Seth wonders if UYD can get a TV show with the Jerky Boys. Jah thinks that would be awesome.
41:49 – Jah wonders if he heard this right – that the HIV virus is smaller than the porousness of latex in condoms.
48:21 – Seth reveals that Jah was born on the Sunset Strip. As far as Seth is concerned, Jah is a modern-day Jim Morrison.
1:03:36 – Jah loves some of the amazing texts he gets. He tries to respond to as many as he can. He can’t get to all of them, but some of them are so fresh or on point and he loves how they find him throughout his days and nights in other situations. He reassures everyone that he’s still down with it and appreciates it.
40:02 – According to a national poll by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy, people in their 20s, or “The Odyssey Years,” 86% of unmarried people are sexually active during that time. Of all the people polled, 24% of respondents believe that wearing two condoms provides double protection against accidental pregnancy.
53:11 – Seth goes off on Hollywood for all the shitty movies it pukes out.
