Comedian Doug Benson and Graham Elwood joined us in studio today.
You all probably know him from Comedy Central, and his documentary “Super High Me.” This year at SXSW he is hosting the interactive awards. Our first topic was about Corey Haim who recently passed away in a dorm-like apartment. Speaking of dorms, Jason misses his dorm days along with keg stands being widely acceptable for men over 200lbs, and easy chicks. Doug was glad he never lived in dorms because of the awkward roommate sex situation. Doug and Graham broke the ice and made fun of Deb’s koala poo shake. Doug picked it up to shake it, but it didn’t move, eww. Jason tried to ease some tension from rumors that started at Cap City last night. Apparently a group of people booed Doug for telling the crowd he was joining 101X in studio. Jason wiped a tear from his eye, and accepted the criticism. Jason and the guys got on topic about being a sex addict because Jason doesn’t believe you can have an addiction to sex. Deb understands sex addicts after watching Dr. Drew’s sex addiction show, and she said these people “spank it all day.” She reminded us that everyone just needs to remember to take everything in moderation whether it be sex, alcohol, or in Corey’s case, drugs. Jason said a great reality show would be Dr. Drew and Doug getting high together. Doug mentioned that Dr. Drew, a smart guy, thinks marijuana will be legalized eventually, and he likes that. Doug also told us that he gets invites all the time to smoke whether it be the airport or right after a show from fans, and other famous celebs. It’s a crazy world, so he has to be careful! Deb told us how hard it was giving up Red Bull. Doug gave up Diet Coke so he could relate. We all decided it is hard to quit these silly addictions, but all in all its just better for us. Check out Doug and Graham tonight at Cap City Comedy Club! Graham will be lubing you up for 30 minutes and then Doug will finish you off. The show is at 8 and tonight is their last night!Check out http://www.capcitycomedy.com/ for more!

ANDY LANGER IN STUDIO:
Every Thursday we welcome musical genius Andy Langer to our studio. Andy is going to pick up his SXSW badge today. His week will start to feel real and he’ll get into his regiment of staying up late talking to people for no good reason. We started off on the issue of people with substance abuse… Hole, is playing at Stubb’s. Hole’s performance is going to be a train wreck, but it’s going to be a good one. She is also playing at Dirty Dog Bar, which used to be the Metro. Andy mentioned seeing a performance by Corey Feldman at Metro, but get this- he was a mime. Trying to get out of his mime box, Andy lost all inspiration from his “Lost Boys” idol. Getting down to good recs for SXSW, Langer suggests seeing Broken Bells, Spoon, The Wigs, Band of Horses, Sweet Apple, and Broken Social Scene. He reminds us that some bands like Band of Horses are playing multiple shows. Zoe Deschanel is playing with M. Ward in at least eight shows, and Andy says she’s easy on the eyes. Andy says she’s the most perfectly constructed woman he’s ever laid his eyes on, and is more picturesque than models that usually bust through the SXSW scene. Unfortunately she’s married to Ben Gibbard, from Death Cab for Cutie. But who turns down the passion from Andy Langer?
MAGGOIRES PIZZA:
Yesterday Cass and Jason went to Maggoire’s Pizza in Cedar Park to compete in an eating contest involving a 10lb pizza to eat in 45 minutes. The restaurant asked Jason to compete, and he asked Sorority Intern to help him out. Jason found a proxy to replace him, listener James, since Jason is watching his man curves. He is eight times the size of Cassandra, and held her like a baby elf in his hand. The pizza was hanging off of the table when it came out, and rules called for a one-meat topping so team 101X picked pepperoni. When the contest started everyone dug in, even dipping the slices into their water cups to finish and win the 200 dollars. Cass ate around 40% of the pizza around the size of her whole laptop, and approximately 3lbs worth! Cass hugged the porcelain while cheese and pepperoni became her worst enemy. She’ll be working it out, or should we say up before she hits Catz today. They ended up losing, but gave it a good try. The pizza was fabulous though!
I LOVE YOU CALL:
Everyday Deb tries to spread love by calling random businesses. Today, Doug Benson joined us during the call, which he was very excited about. Deb called a place called PC Professor. Deb explained she thinks her laptop has a bug because she doesn’t have spam/bug protection. They told her they could do a full diagnostic exam of $145. Deb said she’d bring her computer in, and then attempted to confess her love. Deb loved PC Professor, but they didn’t love her. Officially butt slammed for the 9th time in a row, Doug Benson gave her some advice and told her she should have flirted some more.
THE QUIZ:
Every day we “trivialize” Deb by asking her questions on a variety of topics. Today we did Arizona trivia. What money mineral is most abundant in the state of Arizona? Ha, like she got that. Answer was copper, so listener got a point cause she got it wrong. Is the official state neckwear the bola tie? She said True, and the listener got another point! Josh wins Phoenix tickets!
REWIND:
We found out this morning that Jason may have used a 101X vehicle back in the day to help him move, and that made us wonder – what’s the most inappropriate use of a company vehicle out there? We knew Jason had worse stories than just moving. Turns out we were right. There was a time when 101X was young, Jason was working promotions, and he may have gotten frisky in a company vehicle. He was very quick to say that he did not have sex in the back of the 101X van. But it was close. He was working an event and a drunken woman came and banged on the window and asked for a 101X t-shirt in exchange for a lapdance. He said he only had the one on his body, but she said that was fine. They proceeded to get a little frisky in the back as – get this – another female, Wendy, who was working the event with Jason, was in the driver’s seat. Then the girl asked Jason if he had any protection. He didn’t. Asked if Wendy did. She didn’t. Asked if Wendy could drive them home. She did. When he dropped her off the next day, he lied about his name. We got a call from Nick who said that he was working for a beer company downtown, and he was driving the company van on deliveries, then his girlfriend who went with him, and when they were done delivering, they had some special time. Deb congratulated him. Wait, Jason gets condemned and Nick got congratulated? Well, Nick didn’t trade a t-shirt for sex. Fair enough. Fair enough.
NEWS:
Jessica Simpson still thinks Tony Romo’s but looks cute in his “outfit” uniform. She was on Leno talking about all her guy drama, even the sex controversy with John Mayer. Remember when he said her sex was like crack? Whoa.
Hump, a trendy sushi restaurant in California has been selling whale and horse meat. The whale, being an endangered species is illegal to kill. People were arrested and the store is closed.

A British soldier stationed in Afghanistan was in combat on March 3rd when a live grenade was thrown at his platoon. James McGee grabbed the grenade and threw it right back at the Taliban saving his comrades from being blown to smithereens. He said: "My platoon has taken a lot of casualties. I really didn't want to see anyone else get hurt."
SPORTS:
Texas basketball didn’t give up last night and beat Iowa State, 82-75. Damien James had a season high of 28 points. Texas plays Waco tonight for the third time, but they still advance to the Big 12 tournament.
Ben Roethlisberger was celebrating his birthday when the alleged “sexual assault” took place. Roethlisberger said that they never had intercourse in the bathroom, but played around and the woman fell and hurt herself. Roethlisberger had two friends who are police officers with him that night, and they vouched for him saying nothing ever happened.
