The Superfriends!

previously on the Superfriends:

Mandy: Rohan, I'm getting tired of this fake radio show!
Rohan: then why do you do it?
Mandy: well because, Brian is a lonely sort and I would feel terrible if I told him I don't want to do it anymore.
Rohan: I'll tell him then..
Mandy: (contemplating hard) ok!

at the Peters/Robinson residence:
6:30 am- Brian is up and cooking Christy breakfast.
Christy: (snore)
Brian had made the coffee, cut the fruit and toasted the bagel.
8:00 am- Brian leans in and gives his wife a gentle kiss and awakens her with the smell of food!
Christy struggles to wake up and rolls back over. Brian is determined to wake Christy up and wish her a happy birthday with the food he has prepared. Christy stretches and finally opens an eye and sees the plethera of food and drink! Brian is standing with food tray in hand and sings happy birthday to his beloved. Christy has a tear come down her cheek and then swiftly destroys breakfast. Brian is left standing witnessing the ensuing carnage. Christy asks for another cup of Joe'. Brian dutifully saunters back to the kitchen to get another cup of coffee.
Brian: Happy Birthday sweets, but I am 30 minutes late for work, so I better run.
Christy lays in her appetite of destruction and falls back fast asleep.

*before the daily preshow meeting a covert meeting is taking place*
Rohan: ok, why am I here?
Mrs. Pegues: well, we have an offer for you.
Rohan: we? who is we?
Mrs. Pegues slowly opens the door, to unveil her guests. In steps Mrs. H (Brian's grandma) and Mrs. R. (Christy's mom)
Rohan: I'm confused.
Mrs. Pegues: well it seems like you guys have been spending an awful lot of time doing this fake radio show. So, the three of us have decided take over ownership of the station.
Rohan: well it seems like you are barking up the wrong tree here, I'm in full and complete control. (rubbing his hands together)
Mrs. Pegues: well we are ready to make you an offer you can't refuse!
Rohan: Jolly, no amount of free golf passes and free cable can pry me away from my love running this show.
Mrs. Pegues: (looks over at her cohorts, nods)
Mrs. H and Mrs. R walk in with a pan of ding dong cake.
Mrs. Pegues; we are prepared to make this for you monthly for the next year in return for ownership of the show!
Rohan: (without hesitation) DEAL!

10;47 a.m. preshow meeting
Brian: where is Rohan?
Mandy: where is Christy?
Troy: no clue, but I'm here!
Mandy: (holds back the vomit creeping up her throat)
Brian: well, Christy has the day off because it is her birthday, plus she is till sleeping.
Mandy: o, I see. wait a minute, it is her birthday????
Brian: yes, didn't you get the text I sent you?
Mandy: no, I don't answer texts!
Troy: you mean you don't know how? (giggles)
Rohan comes strolling in with a big smile draped across his face.
Brian: you're late!
Rohan: well boys and girls, I have big news...
Troy: what, another defeat at the hands of Brian in basketball?
Mandy: wow, Troy, you sure are full of it today!
Brian: can we get to the big news?
Rohan: soon, my little friends, soon!

The theme song of Dallas can be heard whistling through the Superfriends studio.
Brian: ummmmm, what is going on here?
Mandy: yeah, I was actually learning the words to Jimi Hendrix's VooDoo Child.
Rohan: well it seems like today is a big day for our little show!
Troy: what we get raises?
Mandy: for the last time, we get paid?
Brian: Rohan, we can't announce such news today because Christy is out taking the day off for her birthday.
Rohan: well, that is too bad but the show must go on.
Trey comes in late, carrying the donuts that Rohan asked him to pick up.
Troy: donuts!!!
Brian: what are the donuts for?
Mandy: to eat, duh! move out of my way.....
Rohan: I thought I would treat you guys.
Brian looks out the window to see his grandma, mother-in-law and Mrs. Pegues pull up in the parking lot.
Brian motions to Mandy, but she is to busy scarfing donut holes.
Trey opens the studio doors and in walk the triumvirate of saintedness.
Mandy: mamma! (runs to give her mom a hug, but is thwarted because of glazy fingers)
Brian: hi grandma, what are you doing?
Mrs. H: Brian, open my Dr. Pepper!
Brian obliges.
Rohan: I would like to announce that I am stepping down as *boss* and respectfully turn the reins over to these three women.
Mandy: I don't get it?
Troy: Mandy, they are in charge now! I'm out of here, I have better things to do!
Trey wants to leave with his little buddy but knows he can't.
Mandy: Rohan, why did you step down?
Mrs. Pegues: well hon, we don't need to go over minor details now. (whispering) Rohan, it is on the table, just make sure to cover it back up!
Brian: so what does this mean for the future of the show?
Mrs. H: well you will be getting a real job.
Mrs. Pegues: this show will broadcast once a week instead of daily.
Brian: (sobbing) I have worked my whole life for this!
Mandy: get a hold of yourself, this is fake remember!
Rohan leaves the building and heads over to the house to partake in his ding dong cake.
Troy makes a smooth getaway and heads down to a local eating establishment to meet his wife.
Trey stays and helps Brian take down all the sports posters and makes way for the lazy boy for Mrs. H, connects the labtop for Mrs. R and places the bible on the table for Mrs. Pegues.
Brian is seen furiously texting Christy, who is getting a chair massage from Hugo and drinking a Starbucks coffee.

moviefone guy: what does this mean for the future of the Superfriends? will Brian recover? will Rohan gain weight from the ding dong cake? those questions and much much more.
Is this the end of the Superfriends as we know it?

the Munsters theme song is heard eerily playing in the Superfriends studio!
Brian: welcome to a hair raising and goose bump inducing edition of the Superfriends.
Mandy: ok, I got the upchuck off my shirt. I knew I shouldn't have had strawberry waffles this morning.
Christy: Mandy, we are on the air!

Mandy: dangit!
Brian: anyways, on today's show, we will talk about the history of Halloween, a scary good win by the Cowboys this past weekend and tricking and treating.
Troy: hey bud, but that is only one sports topic, shouldn't we have a few more?
Brian: well Troy, tomorrow is Halloween and I thought we could deviate a little here.
Christy: good idea there hon, I have some great info on the evolution of Halloween.
Brian: babe, I don't believe in evolution so lets stay on topic...
Christy: (smacks forehead)
Mandy: (in full Dwight regalia including tan shirt, khaki pants and nerd glasses) Fact! Halloween was invented by the devil.
Brian: (in full Batman disguise) Holy Moly Mandy, you are grossly misinformed.
Trey: (in full police officer get-up) I think Halloween is a marketing ploy to get people to buy candy for their kids and in return make them fat and out of shape!
Christy: (in complete Xena attire) Trey, that is the most ridiculous thing I have heard since the making of this fake radio show.
Brian: Jeepers Creepers, what is going on here!
Mandy: Fact! Halloween is a satanic holiday pushed by the occult!
Troy: (in full footlong hotdog wear) this has turned into a trainwreck of epic fail!
Mandy: (is seen playing with her Dwight Schrute bobblehead doll)
Christy: why does it smell like blood in here!
Rohan: (gets up from eating deer jerky, in full dead deer costume accompanied by real live blood) what?? I was told to wear this!!!
Mandy: Fact! Brian told him to wear that outfit...
Trey: (twirling his gun) why do you keep saying fact?
Brian: Trey, do you not watch The Office?
Trey: no, I work for a living!
Christy: well, I think we should call it a wrap, we do have a costume party to get to. thank the Lord!
Troy: I can't make it!
Brian: why not? it will be fun...
Troy: well for starters, I am not showing up at a party wearing a hotdog suit.
Mandy: yeah, you look kind of ridiculous!
Troy: this coming from someone dressed as Dwight Schrute!
Rohan: I need a bath! (wiping blood off his face)
Christy: ok, well see you guys tonight! (ends the show with the Xena yell!)


*after the show*
Brian: Christy, we are still going trick or treating tonight, right?
Christy: only for a little while! (why am I even here)

Mandy: Rohan, I kind of liked dressing up as Dwight, makes me feel smart!
Rohan: I need a bath!

Troy leaves the studio and gets assaulted by juveniles throwing mustard and ketchup packets at him, but Trey is there to assist his good buddy by arresting them!

movie fone guy: join us next time on 93.8 the Superfriends as we detail the fallout from Halloween 2009. will Brian get to go trick or treating? will Rohan take a bath? will Mandy continue to feel smarter by impersonating Dwight? all answers and more on the next installment of the Superfriends!

Homage to a Friend!

previously on the Superfriends:

Christy: ok, Brian, tomorrow is Mandy's birthday.
Brian: so, I guess we need to get her some kind of gift?
Christy: yes, I was thinking of something she could use, not a gift card.
Brian: I bet she needs another bucket of tuna!
Christy: ummm no, probably not..
Brian: How about State Fair tickets?
Christy: how about some perfume and something from Sam Moon?
Brian: tuna is cheaper!

8:45 a.m. preshow meeting
Christy: ok guys, I have an idea on how to celebrate Mandy's birthday!
Brian: I thought we did that yesterday?

Christy: Brian, did you get her tuna after I explicity told you not too?
Brian: what, she likes it!
Troy: (seen taking the gift of tuna that he bought for Mandy and putting it under his desk)
Christy: ok ok, does everyone understand the plan?
crew: yes!

Troy: plus, we have some great news.
Christy: tap the brakes my little rotund friend. we don't want to let the cat out of the bag!

Brian: well actually, I'll be training with him!
Rohan: (looks on enviously)
Christy: well that is great and all but I'm talking about a special birthday amongst the crew.
Mandy: (clapping uncontrollably)
Brian: Christy, I bought the candles and the fire extinguisher. (hi-fives Troy)
Mandy: well, if that was a joke, and I don't know if it was, it was not funny. plus, you're older than me anyways!
Rohan: this has broken down into a cluster...
Christy throws it to a commercial break and unleashes something awful on Brian and Troy.
Brian and Troy looked on horrified at what Christy is saying to them. Brian and Troy mingle to each other that they didn't know Christy knew such foul language.

*back from break*
Brian: hey guys, we have a special caller on the Whataburger "thats how you like it" guest hotline. caller go ahead!
caller: (in a very heavy southern accent) happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Mandy!

preshow meeting 9:51 a.m.

Rohan: well the ratings are in for the Tampa game and Christy you did a smash up job!
Christy: why thank you, it was hot down there but I persevered.
Brian: what about the pre and post game show ratings?
Rohan: well it seems like they were good for the pre but terrible for the post.
Troy: I wonder why?
Mandy: well lets see, I was on the pre-game show and you were on the post-game show, so....
Troy: (swivels in his chair and turns on the Golf Channel)
Christy: so where do I go next?

VooDoo Child by Jimi Hendrix is heard blasting through the Superfriends studio welcoming the wildly popular Superfriends show to the airwaves.
Brian: welcome one and all. today we have a fantabulous show on tap!
Mandy: did you just say fantabulous?
Brian: yes, look it up.
Christy: hate to interrupt, but when is the flight leaving to DENVER? ( Christy is in full hiking and camping regalia)

Rohan: well for one I am the boss, and second I have a tee time in 30 minutes.
Mandy: what, you said your back hurt still from Brian beating you in basketball.
Rohan: (ring ring) well my buddy is here to pick me up, better run.
Mandy: (peers outside to see who picking up her beloved) hey, that is Dr. Manley!
*character update* Dr. Manley is a chiropracter in the metroplex and a friend of the show.
Christy: Dr. Manley!!! haven't seen him in years...

Christy: awesome, I'll have plenty of time to be one with nature!
Troy: well not actually, you will need to cover the Cowboys press conference and the walk through.
Christy: please! I WILL get in some outdoorsy fun!!!
Troy: Brian, will you get your scene under control?
Brian: what? I was doing some research on the Cowboys.
Mandy: this should be good!
Brian: Christy has enough journalistic integrity to know when and how much to cover on the Cowboys. I think a little outdoors will do some good for the soul.
Christy: that is my man!!!
Troy: so....
Mandy: so, Troy get over it.
Brian: ok lets briefly talk Rangers.
Mandy: why, they suck!
Christy: baseball is boring.

Christy: we quit this fake show and get real jobs???
Troy: we get a small refrigerator in our studio?
Rohan: nice, very nice. I'll break the news at our 11:20 segment!
Brian: but I need to know beforehand, so I can be better informed. I do have top billing!
Christy: did you just say you have top billing??? (giving the evil eye)
Brian: well, I do have top ...
Mandy: Brian, give it up! We know who has top billing around here!
Christy/Mandy: (both smuggly assuming that they each have top billing)

Voodoo Child by Jimi Hendrix is quietly strumming through the Superfriends studio.
Brian: welcome one and all, my name is Brian and I'll quickly introduce the crew.
Christy: hon, we have been doing this fake live show for over a year now, no need for the self-serving introductions ...
Mandy: *giggle*
Brian: what my trusted and loyal yet beautiful wife means is, we are soundly and roundly famous enough throughout the airwaves that we need not any introductions.
Troy: (snores in his chair while golf is being played on the t.v.)
Mandy: (looking over at Troy) why is he even here?
Brian: on the show today we have big news, plus our daily reading of the Rangers boxscore, plus Christy's new bit called Christy's Writings and Musings!
Christy: what?? I have a new segment? no one told me this ...
Brian: babe, it is called a bit and yes, we discussed this last night while you were cutting your toenails!
Christy: those were your toenails, and I don't remember that ...
Mandy: you cut his nails!!!!!!!
Brian: anyways, seems like our esteemed boss, Rohan, has some important news to share.
Mandy: esteemed boss?????????
Rohan: ahem! ok boys and girls, I have some big news. seems like we will be doing pre- and post-game shows on the Dallas Cowboys.
Brian: (jumping up and down giddily)
Troy: (awakens from his Shiner-induced slumber and does the running man)
Christy: (slams down her coffee in disgust and heads to the nearest doughnut shop)
Mandy: (vomits down her shirt)
Rohan: solid, very solid. We will provide outstanding insight and knowledge of the game of sport known as football.
Brian: dude, I am stoked! (giddily putting on his Jason Witten jersey)
Troy: man I can't believe this. Who will be on site to give live reports?
Rohan: well we need someone with journalistic integrity. (looking around the studio ... looking at Brian - nope we need him for analysis. Troy - too critical in the studio. Mandy - nope, tea glasses need to be filled. Christy - bingo!). Where is Christy?
Brian: well, let's see. Everytime she leaves, she is at the doughnut shop down the street.
Rohan: well, go round her up and bring her back in, but don't let her in on the good news ...
(Brian scurries off to get Christy, kicks up feet in Fred Astaire fashion.)
Mandy: Rohan, here is your tea! (schlumps off back to her second-in-commandness)
Troy: bro - I mean boss - I'll read the Rangers boxscore while we wait on Christy.
Rohan: good thinking my man, good thinking ...
Mandy: (throws up again on her shirt after hearing Rohan commending Troy on anything)
Brian: (huffing and puffing) ok, found her!
Christy: all right, what is the great and genius news?
Rohan: well, seems like we need a field reporter to cover live events at the Cowboy games!
Christy: there is no way in HADES that I'm covering that load of ...
Brian: but ...
Christy: I didn't get no journalism degree to cover Cowboy games!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rohan: I failed to mention road games are included. Company picks up the dime.
Christy: you mean, I get to travel???
Troy: (wiping celebratory sweat from his brow) yes, they play 8 games away! (sarcastically)
Christy: (gives Troy the one-finger salute)
Rohan: yes, you will travel 2 days ahead of any and all away games.
Brian: 2 days ahead????
Mandy: what Brian, you need Christy to cut your nails and cold-brew your tea????
Christy: well, let me think about this (1,2,3) ... after much thinking and considering, I'll take the job!
Rohan: good! First assignment is Tampa Bay!
Brian: (cries uncontrollably)
Troy: (downs another Shiner)
Rohan: ok Mandy, you will set up Christy's itinerary.
Mandy: will this be for 2?
Rohan: no, it will be for 1. Christy will be traveling alone.
Christy: (is glowing in the advance of traveling)
Rohan: Brian and Mandy, you will handle pregame duties and Brian and Troy will handle post-game duties.
Mandy: what will I do during the postgame show?
Rohan: well that is usually when we watch 60 Minutes or Del's Hunting Show.
Brian: well that is all the time and good news we have for today, lets call it a wrap!
Troy: wrap!!!!

Christy skips out of the office joyful glee at the news of traveling!
Mandy slowfoots it out with the news of further second-in-commandness!
Brian/Troy give forced side hugs and congratulatory hi-fives...
Rohan is chest-puffing in excitement of another well-oiled show.

Moviefone guy: join us next time as the Superfriends crew embarks on the dawn of an new era!
Will Christy embrace covering of the Cowboys for the sake of traveling?
Will Mandy stand for more slight of her place amongst the crew?
Will Brian and Troy prepare for the work even though they think they know all things Cowboys?

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??
