Jenna the Virgin Intern leaving the show, English in America and Aron Ralston

Filed under: The Show — Justin @ 2:50 pm

Jenna the Virgin Intern is leaving Rover’s Morning Glory! She is graduating college on Sunday and has accepted a job with a marketing firm that represents Adidas. Duji also offered her a job with the show, but she will be making much better money with the marketing firm. Duji gave her a present of a frog on top of the world which Rover and Dieter both said was hideous.

Jenna and Duji did a lot of crying. Jenna told the story of her mother dying when she was six years old and how she now has a step-mother and step-sister whom she does not like very well. She and Rover discussed their family lives for a bit (Rover has never met his real father) and talked about how hard it is when your parent re-marries.

Geno’s Steak in Philadelphia has a sign that reads, “This is America. When ordering, ‘Speak English’.” This simple sign has sparked quite a wildfire of media attention in a neighborhood that is prodominately foreign. Duji thought that the sign is racist. Rover loves the sign and thinks it is great. I agree with Rover. This is America and English is the official language. If you want to live here, at least learn the language. Immigrants should not expect us to learn their language to accomodate them.

Between a Rock and a Hard PlaceAron Ralston, the climber that had to cut off his own arm, was supposed to be on Rover’s Morning Glory this morning. He has a new book coming out, “Between a Rock and a Hard Place”. He is also currently starring in the new Miller Lite “man law” commercials with Bert Reynolds, Jerome Bettis and other stars. Maybe I missed the segment but I never heard Aron on the show.

Cornhole: Nut ball edition

Filed under: Dare Dieter — Justin @ 2:48 pm

Ohio State Cornhole SetToday’s dare from Travis was for Dieter to sit underneath a cornhole board with his crotch underneath the “bullseye” hole. There was a wheel set up with various throwing objects, including a cue ball, a grapefruit, eggs, a coconut, a softball and a keg can of Heineken, which probably weighs like two pounds.

Rover made up a lame ass excuse that he was the commentator and therefore could not participate. A listener called him out on air and Rover said her would play but did not end up playing. Bartosh then began to say he wasn’t going to participate since Dieter could choose what to throw back but then was talked into it. So the throwers were DJ Jazzy Jim, Johnathon and Joe Bartosh.

The rules of the game:

  • Spin the wheel.
  • Toss (each thrower gets three attempts).
  • If they don’t make any successful tosses, they have to sit underneath the cornhole board and Dieter gets one throw at them.

Bartosh was up first. Mango was the first projectile. It went through the hole but didn’t hit Dieter (it rolled through). An egg was the second throw, the egg broke on the board and the yoke went all over Dieter’s crotch. His final throw was with a coconut. It was a miss.

Johnathon was next up to throw. His first throw was a baseball. Miss. Second throw was with a cantaloupe. It bounced off the board and hit Dieter in the chest. Grapefruit was the final object to throw. The throw was short. 0/3. Dieter gets to throw at Johnathon.

DJ Jazzy Jim was the last contestant. His first throw was with a softball. It was a miss. The second throw was the dreaded cue ball. It went through the hole and hit Dieter in the crotch. The last throw…the Heineken keg can. No damage was done though.

Dieter then got to throw at Johnathon. His weapon of choice, the cantaloupe. At this point things went out of control. Dieter missed with the cantaloupe and then began to throw everything from the dare. The can of Heineken ended up exploding in the hallway.
