Rico & The Bald Man, SportsTalk 880, November 12, 2009
9:02 – Rico: And, we’re back. This hour of Rico & The Bald Man is brought to you by our sponsor Gampy’s Family Restaurant in Mount Vernon who want us to remind you that they fired that one weird waiter with the really loud monotone voice. He was freaking us out too. Now, on the line we have a familiar caller. Breakfast the Chicken, how’s it goin?
Breakfast: Feel like a million bucks, Rico. Livin’ the cluckin’ dream.
The Bald Man: Watch it with the language there, Breakfast. What’s on your mind?
Breakfast: I know I’ve been beating the drum on this for a while, but I don’t think the ownership has given my proposal serious consideration. The fans are speaking!
The Bald Man: Do you really think they’ll re-name the Ravens “The Chickens”?
Breakfast: This year, the Maryland poultry industry will produce almost 300 million broilers. Instead of turning them into 25 cent wings and buns for bacon and cheese sandwiches, we should cede to them democratic control of their henhouses…
The Bald Man: …and re-name the Baltimore Ravens the Baltimore Chickens…
Breakfast: …so the newly emancipated chickens become football fans and stimulate the economy by purchasing officially-licensed merchandise. Exactly. See, you get it!
The Bald Man: Actually, I don’t.
Rico: Surely, these chickens would have to work to afford Baltimore Chickens keychains, novelty helmet phones and Littlearth Quilted Purses with faux leather trim. What would they do for a living?
Breakfast: Ummm…. guano manufacture, organic free-range alarm clocks for hippies who don’t really care where on the farm they wake up, sports radio announcer. And stop calling me Shirley!
The Bald Man: Your little Vaudevillian … uh… quip will just make you look dumb when it’s written down.
Rico: It’s a verbal joke, you know that, right?
<3 all of this!!
Otto is too cute for words. <3
so perhaps only the supernatural can hear the squishables?
and by the way charles d, when did you start spotting a 5o’clock shadow? does your gravatar lie?
At the moment, I am rocking the shadow, but it isn’t part of my “look” per se.
so was Breakfast banned from Sports Talk 880 because of his arrest or was his arrest because of things he might have said on sports talk? And why sports talk? Why not erm, the breakfast show? or something like that?
@jasmine: He was banned for calling too much and having crazy things to say (see blog post accompanying the comic.” It’s sports talk just because it’s a popular form of call-in show. Breakfast was thrust into the quasi-political realm by his arrest, not by his disposition.
Well, I know I don’t have an internal monologue, so I’m not surprised to see others lacking such… *chuckle*
