previously on the Superfriends:

at the Peters/Robinson residence-

Christy: ok Brian, are we ready to up our training for our 5k?
Brian: what, already?
Christy: ummm hon, we have been training for over 10 weeks now!
Brian: I know, but I am so out of shape!
Christy: that is why you run....
Brian: ok, but we need to start off slow..
Christy: (slaps forehead)

9:55 a.m. preshow meeting

Rohan: ok for today's meeting, I want you guys to come up with new ideas to keep our numbers strong.
Brian: I have one! how about a new segment called Spanning the Globe?
Mandy: we can do one, called Last Night's Dinner!
Christy: how about we cancel reading rangers boxscore and actually talk about something important!
Brian: ummm, I like my idea better.
Rohan: duly noted!
Mandy: so which ones will we use?
Rohan: well I like Brian and Christy's ideas.
Mandy: what about mine? it took me a long time to come up with.
Rohan: we will see if we can fit it in somewhere.
Mandy: (claps hands furioulsy)

Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix is strumming throughout the Superfriends studios.
Brian: welcome human radio listeners! we have a grand show for you today.
Mandy: yes we do, we will discuss last night's dinner!
Christy: what Mandy meant is we will discuss what everyone likes to eat...
Mandy: (looks on confused)
Brian: yes, we have a couple of new segments to introduce on the show today, called Spanning the Globe and Christy's reading of the Ranger Boxscore!
Christy: ummm I'm not reading the Ranger Boxscore!
Brian: ok, anyways, on with the show. looks like we have a couple of callers already.
caller 1: hey guys, where are the Blowhards?
Brian: yes yes, our most talked about and controversial station friends.
Christy: well our Human Resources Dept. won't let us get into specifics but they won't be around anymore..
Mandy: I heard they got fired for conduct detrimental to the staff!
Christy: well again, we can't discuss because of privacy laws.......
Brian: to paraphrase, they didn't know how to take NO for answer.....
Christy: (visibly shaken) can I read the Boxscore now please!
Brian: so no more MushMouth Josh and DK! (plays Another One Bites the Dust by Queen)
Mandy: (giggles)
Rohan: hey where is Troy?
Brian: well he is at the open house for the new Cowboys Stadium.
Mandy: good!
Rohan: well, maybe he can do a live report from there? I'll give him a call...
Brian: he is with his dad but...
Christy: ok anyways, we have another caller on the line.
caller 2: this Josh, and I would like to clear the air............
Brian: (dial tone is heard) oh man, bad connection there. seems like we don't have time for anymore callers so lets get to our new segment.
Mandy: (waiting with gleeful anticipation)
Brian: it is called Spanning the Globe!
Christy: (upset b/c her idea for more real substance was ignored, gets up and heads to the dougnut table)
Brian: ok during this segment we will call 3 places and get updates on what is going on in their neck of the woods!
Mandy: good idea Brian, did you come up with this on your own?
Christy: (scarfing down doughnut holes)
Brian: (dials number) ok, first up we have Patrick in Scotland.
Patrick: (in a heavy Scottish accent) how goes it lad!
Brian: you tell us, this is Spanning the Globe!
Patrick: well you called me, so......
Brian: (hangs up in disgust)
Mandy: what happened?
Brian: nothing, lets try another. (dials number) seems like we have Pedro in Mexico!
Pedro: ( in a very fast incomprehensible tone) hello!
Brian: what is going on in Mexico?
Pedro: we have the swine flu very bad!!!!
Mandy: OMG!!!!
Brian: (click) ok well this hasn't gone the way we have planned..
Mandy: you planned this not us!
Christy: (napping on the couch after her 4th doughnut, unbeknowedst at the failure of Spanning the Globe)
Rohan: hey you guys need some help?
Mandy: PLEASE!
Brian: well we could use a hand, seems like we are working with some real clowns here.
Rohan: how about I make a call. (dials number)
Rohan's brother in Australia is on the line.
Rohan: hey bro!
Rohan's bro: g'day mate!
Mandy: hi!
Brian: (upset b/c Rohan has more success at his own idea)
*15 minutes later*
Rohan's bro: well I gotta go, good catching up with you guys. I have to go gut an Australian deer.
Mandy: ok, have fun!
Brian: (hastily) ok well that is all the time we have for Spanning the Globe today.
Christy: (awakens from her doughnut induced slumber)
Mandy: thanks Rohan for saving that segment!
Rohan: yeah no problem, it was good talking to my brother.
Mandy: Christy, you have glaze on your cheek!
Brian: well that is a wrap, join us next time on the 93.8 the Superfriends!

post show ramblings:
Christy: I have cramps!
Brian: (depressed over his failed segment)
Mandy/Rohan heading off to Texas De Brazil!
Troy tries calling in with a Cowboy Stadium report, not knowing the show is over!

moviefone guy: join us next time on 93.8 the Superfriends as we monitor Christy's cramps!
will Brian rebound from his failure of his new segment? will Mandy/Rohan recover from their destruction of meat at TDB? will Troy get to wax poetic about the new Cowboy's Stadium??
