Between Two Candles

* UPDATE *

It seems as The Superfriends Radio show has been canceled not to low ratings but to internal conflict. It seems Rohan couldn't get along with Brian because Rohan seems to always lose to Brian in basketball. Also, Mandy's general lack of sports knowledge was a detriment to overall show morale. Christy was fine with the cancellation due to the fact she had higher hopes and dreams. Troy had already bailed to live in Shiner, Texas as an exec for Shiner Beer Inc. So this little blog will follow the lives of all our "Superfriends" and more importantly what the radio show headliner is now doing with his life.

Brian is standing in front of his full length bedroom mirror, straightening his tie. Brian has a new job that starts at 11:00am sharp. Christy is also readying for her new jaunt in life. She has parlayed her journalism degree into freelancing for the New York Times, TIME magazine and National Geographic. This new job will also have Christy traveling a lot. Brian smooches his bride on the forehead, hands her her coffee and lays out her lunch on the table.

Brian: see you tonight sweets.
Christy: thanks for making my coffee, have a good day!

Brian makes way to his new studio and readys himself for the new venture.
He straightens up the chairs and lights the candles. It seems as if Brian has a new web/radio show. It is an interview style show that will highlight Brian's comedic prowess, improvisational quips and overall general talent.

*ring ring*
Brian looks at his phone and notices Mandy is calling.

Brian answers-
Mandy: hey goob. what's up?
Brian: thats Mr. Goob to you! are you here yet?
Mandy: Yes! ugh, don't you trust me, I said I'll be there at 11:00am and I am.
Brian: ok, well, um, it's 11:03am.
Mandy: who's keeping time anyways.
Brian: I am, we go on in 7 minutes. I have to keep a tight schedule.
Mandy: why? you think anyone will listen.
Brian: well, we had quite a few listeners for our radio show!
Mandy: that was fake, remember!
Brian: see, that's why it ultimately failed. this won't, believe that.

Brian calmly sits in his chair and wets his eyebrows in anticipation.

softly playing in the background is "One" by Metallica.
Brian: welcome to my new hit show, Between Two Candles. For the next 15 minutes, I offer my thoughts and opinions on the news of the day and conduct exciting and fresh interviews. Now you might ask who I will be interviewing? Well, I have lots of friends and family, so we'll start with that.
Brian leans over and lights the two candles. (this emits a rosy and earthy smell)

Brian grabs the newspaper and proceeds to read the headlines of the days. He begins to touch on the subject of Ebola but right before he does, he leans over and presses a music button that is nestled between the two candles. "Ebola, Ebola, don't touch your friends" blares out. Brian giggles at his new found comedic freedom. He thinks to himself, "I could never do this on the Superfriends."

After reading headlines about Ebola, ISIS, and the recent death of Robin Williams, Brian introduces the listening audience to his first guest.

Brian: now, lets welcome Mandy Pegues Buck.
Brian gets up to offer his hand in an inviting gesture. Mandy returns said gesture with a slap of the hand. Brian stands there in confused rejection. He waits for Mandy to take her seat, to be gentlemanly, but Mandy is nose smelling the candles. She goes to pick up one of the candles but.....
Brian: no.......... don't touch that! It's one of the candles!!
he reaches to grab it out of her hand but Mandy is scared confused and drops it and starts a small carpet fire. Mandy jumps up on the chair, while Brian puts out the fire with his Longhorn blanket.

Brian sits in disgust at the turn of the events. Mandy cheers him up with a glass of unsweet tea.

Brian rallies and proceeds to conduct his interview.
Brian: so, Mandy, is that your real name.
Mandy: (looks perplexed) umm, yes. Actually it's Mary but I go by Mandy. I go by that....
Brian: next question. So hows Rohan doing in his job? has he overcame his failures in basketball?
Mandy: what? yes, he's doing fine! he hasn't failed in basketball, actually didn't he beat you last ni....
Brian: one more question. have you ever watched Star Wars? What grade would you give it on a scale of 1-10?
Mandy: lol, I haven't watched Star Wars! you know that...
Brian: alright, alright! seems like we're out of time today. Join me next time as I interview my handsome wife about her escapades in New York. until next time, my name is Brian and you've been listening to Between Two Candles.

Mandy is seen slow walking out to her car skipping and flapping her arms making airplane noises.

Brian blows out the candles and leans back in his chair, basking in the glow of his just completed first show.
