RICHARD GARRIOTT:
 Today we welcomed to the program the Space traveler and millionaire Austin entrepreneur, Richard Garriott. He is the 483rd person to go into outer space, and he did it for recreational purposes. It only cost him $30 million. He spoke about adapting to the physical effects of going in and out of space, and it doesn’t sound pleasant. He said that it wasn’t what people think. He had to learn how to man the ship in case everyone else passed out. Richard also had to learn Russian because of the Russian space station’s involvement. Deb saw a Fox article about his environmental endeavors and needed to speak with him about his “green” life. While in space, Richard saw first hand the effects pollution has had on the Earth over the past 25 years since his dad went to space. Richard has since converted his house into an energy efficient home and is even working on a solar powered home. His ideal car is an SUV electric car, so he is working out the kinks on how this would be possible as well. Richard is also known for his Halloween Parties at his mansion. This year he has teamed up with Scare for a Cure to throw the party for charity. He turns his house into a huge haunted house like no other! This guy is all around amazing and a great person. We were so happy to have him on. To find out more about him and Scare for a Cure, check out http://www.scareforacure.org/ and http://www.richardinspace.com/
DEB IS SICK:
After Deb and Cassandra got back from vacation on the Bud Light Party Cruise, Deb started feeling like death. She has achy bones, a head ache, sore throat, a fever of 102 and she took a hot bath with all of her clothes on. Yesterday she went to the doctor to get a prescription and to find out what she has. They shoved a cotton swab 3 inches up her nose to test her for Swine Flu, but thank God she is safe. She does, however, have a bacterial infection. When she got home she was too weak to even walk, let alone pick up her medicine. She felt bad calling her friends to ask them for help. She finally called Jason, but he was working a remote. She then let Jason and Cassandra feel like the worst people in the world for not even calling her to see how she felt, let alone ask her if she needed anything. Deb makes sure to call Jason and Cassandra every day when they are sick. I don’t think Jason and Cassandra could feel any worse for being such bad friends. We love you Deb and we are so sorry. We suck!!
THE INTERN SHOW:
 We love you listener, but sometimes the forces that be make us leave for weeks at a time for things that we do. So, in our stead, we teach the interns everything we know so when we do get fired they can take over. While we were out we made them come up with intern shows. There are 6 interns, so there are 6 :30 second shows and 3 tag team shows. Today we played Jenna and Pedro’s airchecks. Intern Julia’s is a bit too sexual/racy to play on air, but you can listen to it on the podcast. Jenna’s was a parody on “A Moment with SI”, and she found clips of Jason and Deb talking about her. Pedro is our newest intern and hasn’t been here a week yet, so his was a bit amateur. He did intro a song fairly well though. We love all of our interns so the one with the most votes on our poll will win something cool. Go listen to the podcast and vote for your favorite on our poll!
ANDY LANGER, PRIEST:
 Today we welcomed to the show musical genius, Andy Langer. 2 years ago we were counting down the days to Jason Dick’s wedding. His 2 year anniversary is on November 3rd. Andy had gone online to get his preacher certificate to be able to officiate the ceremony before the two were to be wed. He interviewed Jason and his ex-wife separately to get material for the wedding speech. Andy was convinced that they were a legit couple who would make it. He was way off. Deb knew that they loved each other, but also knew that it wouldn’t last 2 years and 2 months. She was a year off, but still right. What a wise lady! Andy was hoping to make a side business out of the whole priest job, but no one has hired him yet. To this day they don’t know if the marriage was legit, because Andy thought it was a bit too easy to get ordained. On a separate topic, Deb asked Andy how much Bud Light paid for Dave Matthews Band to play at the private party. Andy said they were paid an easy $1 million at least. Deb and Cassandra can promise you that it was worth every single penny! Thanks Andy! Listen to him every Sunday here on KROX from 6p-8p on The Next Big Thing.
KNOW YOUR CO-HOST:
Every once and a while we ask Jason and Deb questions to see if they actually listen to each other when they talk. Today we played for Rob Zombie tickets. Today we found out that Jason has never dressed up as Troy Aikman for Halloween and that he stayed at the Belagio and Paris while in Vegas. Today we found out that Deb went to Belize for vacation this summer and her last car was a black Nissan Murano. Listener Bret won Rob Zombie tickets because he played on behalf of Jason today, who won. Poor Deb is deathly ill so she didn’t come up with very hard questions. We gave her listener, Buddy, a consolation prize anyways. Keep listening for your chance to win Rob Zombie tickets to his concert November 10th at Austin Music Hall.
I LOVE YOU CALL:
Every day we call a random business to try and spread the love around Austin. Deb has been sick, so she wasn’t looking forward to calling anyone today because she can barely speak. Jason wanted to call Starr Seeds because he thinks they would be mean. The lady that answered was totally sweet though. They are just mean to Jason because he only goes in there hammered at 3am. Deb asked them if they had soup for her sick aching body, and they do! Deb threw out the “I Love You” but we think she was a bit too late because the lady hung up before she heard it.
THE QUIZ:
Every day we quiz Deb on the pig skins. She hates football, so over three years she still doesn’t get the game of American Football. Today we quizzed her for AFI tickets and played with listener Cody. We asked her what BCS stands for. She knew it was the Bowl Championship Series. We then asked her to name the last team to win a National Championship with 2 losses. She didn’t know, but it was LSU. Lastly, we asked her to name one of the undefeated teams in the NFL. She didn’t get it right. Poor Cody lost today. We gave the tickets to caller X.
REWIND:
Yesterday we spoke with the one and only Freddy Krueger! (Well, not the one and only because there is a new actor playing in the movie coming out next year). But yesterday we got to speak with the original Robert Englund. Deb was freaking out because she has been watching the Nightmare on Elm Street since she was 11 years old. Robert has a book out right now called Hollywood Monster about his life in Hollywood. Halloween is coming up and we asked Robert if he has ever dressed as Freddy. He has, but very rarely, because the makeup takes forever, plus he has to make it look right with the right lighting. We asked him why the hell he isn’t in the new Nightmare on Elm Street coming out next year. He said it was because it isn’t a sequel or prequel. They are remaking the original in 2010. It’s the 25th anniversary of the original as well, so they want to make it like an update. Actor Jackie Earle Haley plays Freddy in the new one. Robert Englund has been in the horror Hollywood film business forever, so that is why he wanted to write his memoir called Hollywood Monster. He is a lot more than just Freddy. Check out the book. You can purchase it from his website and he will autograph it for you!
NEWS:
The charges were dropped on the Yogurt Shop murder case. The 2 guys who were on death row for murdering 4 teenage girls were proved innocent. The DA still thinks the 2 guys were the murderers. This happened in 1991 so the chances of finding the right guy are slim.
A Cap Metro bus driver was arrested for exposing his “member” to a lady passenger on the bus. He is suspended and was arrested on Tuesday. This wasn’t the first time he had done this.
Levi Johnston, the king of douchebags, was on the Early Show on CBS talking smack about Sarah Palin. He said she called her grandkid “retarded”. She responded by saying it isn’t true, obviously.
The Michael Jackson movie “This Is It” earned $2.2 million just on Tuesday before it even came out.
Larry David inadvertently peed on Jesus in the new episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm last week. Catholic groups are now pissed at Larry and HBO. HBO has come out saying, “Chill Out”.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney has chosen to rally around Kay Bailey Hutchinson in the Republican Governor race.
ACC has decided to be taken more seriously. They now want a mascot. You can make your suggestion to ACC. They used to be the Eagles.
Creed singer Scott Stapp talks about a near death experience he had in 2006 that brought him out of his downward spiral. He fell off a 4 story building and survived.
SPORTS:
The World Series Game 1 was last night. Philadelphia won 6 to 1. This series may go to 7 games. The Yankees are not looking as good as we expected. Game 2 is tonight at 6:57pm.
The San Antonio Spurs looked really good last night. They won against New Orleans.
Texas is a 9 point favorite in the game this Saturday. They are playing OSU who is ranked 13 while Texas is ranked 3rd.
Mike Leach, the Coach for the Red Raiders, held a hilarious press conference after the game against the Aggies last weekend. Apparently his player’s “fat little girlfriends” are making them think they are better than they are. He is using their fat little girlfriends as a metaphor for their egos. It came off as very mean, and Mike sounded a bit crazy.
