previously on the Superfriends.....
Mandy: hey Ro, you know what today is?
Rohan: no, what is it?
Mandy: guess....
Rohan: Mandy, I hate guessing games! just tell me....
Mandy: o, all right! it's Downton Day!
Rohan: what is that?
Mandy: it's a show on PBS about....
Rohan: Mandy, is the show Brian has been going on and on about??
Mandy: yes...
Rohan: I'm out!!!!
Mandy schlumps down in her chair!
at the Peters/Robinson residence-
Brian: Christy!!!
Christy: (running in from the bedroom) what??
Brian: why are you running?
Christy: why are you yelling my name?
Brian: I wasn't yelling! you just can't hear...
Christy: that makes no sense!
Brian: anyways, are we ready for a our 2nd annual Superfriends 5K fun run?
Christy: babe, you appoint me a running event, believe me that I'm up to the task!
Brian: I wonder if Mandy made the flyers!
at the Buck residence-
Mandy is seen sleep drooling in her chair while Rohan watches some basketball tutorials.. (Rohan has been thrashed and trashed recently by Brian in basketball and he is trying to get him game back up to snuff)
Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix is wafting through the cool yet warm air as the locals are getting limbered up for the Superfriend 5K fun run.
Brian: man look at this turnout!
Christy: (looking around) I wouldn't say 12 people is a lot hon...
Mandy and Rohan make way to the fun run and Rohan is dribbling a basketball.
Brian: what you got there chief?
Rohan: a basketball!
Brian: ummm ok, why?
Rohan: just working on the old handles! (dribbles between the legs)
Mandy whispers to Christy about the said tutorial Rohan was watching earlier
Brian: so you gonna run while dribbling?
Rohan: yea, why not?
Christy: ok, boys, lets stay focused! Mandy, are you sure you handed out all the flyers?
Mandy: what flyers?
Brian (smh)
Christy: never mind Mandy, this was doomed to be a clusterF anyways! (wonders to herself why she came home from the Philippines for this?)
Travis is setting up all the sound equipment since he is emceeing the fun run...
Brian: ok, Trav, you good on what to do here?
Trav: yea, man, I'm going to some play by play of the run and mix in some good beats. tunes you might say!
Brian: you got some Metallica in there?
Trav: (nervously sifting through his collection of music) ummm, yea man, no worries!
Trav: (grabs the mic) ok guys and girls, gather round gather round!
Christy is seen stretching and fixing her headphones
Brian is doing jumping jacks to stay loose
Rohan is running in place to get his heart rate up
Mandy is leaning on a tree sleeping
Trav: on my sound! 3... 2... 1... pew pew...
all 12 racers are off
Mandy has her headphones in and does not hear the gun and is left sleeping next to the tree.
Brian is seen keeping a steady albeit slow/walk pace
Christy is well out in front, running backwards as if almost taunting the much slower runners.
Rohan is dead sprinting trying to catch up all the while dribbling his basketball
Trav: around the bend they come, down the stretch, here they come, it's neck and neck! wait a minute, we have a surprise challenger, a slender yet very in shape runner chasing down Christy and passing Christy!
Rohan has fallen back in the pack as he has dribbled the basketball off his shoe and into the bushes....
Brian has kept a good pace and finishes 10th out of 12th.
Mandy finally awakes from her slumber and notices everyone finishing the race...
Mandy: wait, what happened??
Trav: and our winner is...... (jumps off the make shift platform and get the name of the winner) sir, what is your name?
winner: (not breaking a sweat) my name is Ty...
Christy is dumbfounded as to her 2nd place finish and checks and rechecks her time
Brian is just happy to finish without having to stop and walk
Rohan finally finishes after finding his ball
Mandy is 1/4 into the 5k...
Trav: alright everyone, lets head back to our title sponsor!
tired runners: where is that?
Trav: David's BBQ!
Brian and Christy look at each other hoping Mandy secured David's BBQ....
as everyone heads out in their cars to David's, Rohan hitches a ride with Trav
Brian and Christy stretch and head out as well
Ty is still basking in the glow of winning the Superfriends 5K fun run
Mandy is last seen huffing and puffing on a park bench!
join us next time on 93.8 the Superfriends as recap the 5K fun run! Did Mandy finish the race and make it to David's BBQ? will everyone get to know who this Ty fellow is? Did Rohan improve his ball handling skills? all that and much more frivolity on the Superfriends!
embrace your rage!

Christy: babe, don't worry about that, gotta go, gotta post and tweet, and instagram and tumble and.....
Brian: (sheepishly) bye
at the Buck residence
Mandy: Ro, I'm tired!
Rohan: Mandy, we decided we were going to start running and exercising again!, remember?
Mandy: yes I remember! but I liked it better when you just exercised with Brian playing basketball.
Rohan: yeah, well he beats me something awful every time we play! I mean, I can't buy a shot! I missed a wide open layup the other day! I mean front rimmed it...
Mandy: well, maybe you need to just focus more!
Rohan: focus on this. (throws her running shoes at her) lets go, we have 1.5 miles today...
Mandy vomits the scrambled eggs she made for breakfast up on her sleeve
11:00am sharp
Voodoo Child is blaring through the dimly lit and dingy studio
Brian: (looks around at the empty studio except for a half empty tuna can leftover from Mandy's lunch from the previous day) man, where is everyone? Christy is still overseas, Mandy and Rohan are late.. and no sign of Troy! guess, I should check the voicemails.
(Brian is busy checking voicemails and hears Mandy's muffled voice, wheezing and tired)
Mandy: Brian (huffing and puffing,mixed in with some sniffling) not gonna make it in today, sprained my ankle today running!
Brian: (thinks to himself, Mandy running?) hmmmm...
-second voicemail-
Troy: hey dude, gonna have to bail this week, Becca had emergency appendix surgery, so I'm unavailable this week....
Brian: (mental note to call Troy and offer sympathies)
-third voicemail-
Travis Vidaurri: (side note, Travis is Mandy's brother-in-law) hey, bro, wanna grab some lunch today! I'll even drive to you! call me back...
Brian: (light bulb goes off over Brian's head) let me give ol' Travis a call here... (dialing Travis's cell)
*ring ring*
Travis: hello
Brian: hey man, lets do lunch and maybe you can help me out on the show today?
Travis: what show?
Brian: the Superfriends radio show! 93.8fm the Superfriends!!
Travis: Mandy said that was fake!
Brian: don't worry about that, come on it will be fun!
Travis: what about lunch?
Brian: I like Wingstop!
Travis: ummm ok, what kind?
Brian: don't be so confrontational, they're wings... come on, the shows starts in 10 minutes!
Travis: but what....
Brian: (dialtone) ok, welcome everyone to another award winning edition of the Superfriends.........
next time on the Superfriends, does Mandy's ankle heal? does Christy's plane ever leave the Philippines? does Troy hold down the fort with Becca on the shelf? does Travis heave to and trice up as fill-in on the show? join us next time and we try to answer all these questions plus the ones we haven't come up with yet....
