Fool's Paradise Playlists for July 4, 2015

Listener comments!

1:05pm P-90:

Happy Martha Vickers Independence Day, Rex!

🌮

1:07pm Mailman Tom:

Ms. Vickers, starred in The Big Sleep. A movie that made no sense whatsoever, but was fun to watch anyway !

1:07pm P-90:

And July Fourth weekend greetings to all fellow Rexpatriots!

1:08pm P-90:

(Or "Rexpats")

1:11pm Stefan Dz:

Thanks for working on July 4th so that we've got a great soundtrack for all the festivities, Rex.

1:16pm marc:

Chris Christie may have to go into the recording industry after his failed Governorship and disastrous run for President

🌮

1:21pm Mailman Tom:

He'd be the heaviest president since William Howard Taft. He tipped the scales at well over 300 pounds !

1:22pm common:

rex..all

1:23pm Greg from Bloomfield:

Afternoon and Happy 4th, Fools!

1:28pm kyle a.:

As a west coaster I don't understand... Was Chris Christie's goal to resemble an old UPA cartoon character?

1:30pm Melissa Jean:

happy 4th Rex n Foolz! after dis I'm going to a fair to ride rides and eat junk, hooray!

1:31pm V Priceless:

Hey Rex

1:35pm David in ATL from NJ:

Rex, have I told you that your program frightens me...but I like.

1:40pm P-90:

Inexplicably, a lot of girls married Mickey Rooney...

1:44pm Gaylord Fields:

So, Mickey Rooney ... he had some sort of magic spell-casting amulet, right?

1:53pm Stuart Rose:

Well, if Mickey was such a magnet for starlets, let's stop saying that all these happy unions were inexplicable.
Mickey had, it seems, some kind of sloshed mannish boy vibe. A jailbait quality of sorts.

1:56pm P-90:

"...sloshed mannish boy vibe." Lemme chew on that one fer a couple minutes...

1:57pm DJ Guy:

Brooklyn Zoo! That's what's up great clip

2:01pm P-90:

Oh no.... Rex mentioned Tito's Taco's. Now I'm craving their tacos AND burritos. And I'm on the completely wrong coast. The agony...!

2:03pm P-90:

...their little paper cups of minced Jalopeno hot salsa...their homemade tortilla chips...

2:07pm amira:

I like hot dogs!

2:08pm sinner:

I want the crusty macaronis around the edges of the pan. I'll even pay extry.

2:11pm Gaylord Fields:

Now why, pray tell, do you think an R&B dance-craze disc based on picking cotton neglected to become a hit with its intended audience?

2:12pm sam:

how many tube steaks did the mighty chestnut pound down ?

2:12pm Gaylord Fields:

@sam: Chestnut LOST!

2:13pm sam:

WHA?!!...DETAILS

2:14pm sam:

IMA HUNT UP A STORY

2:15pm Gaylord Fields:

He came in second to Matt Stonie, who downed 62 dogs to Chestnut's 60.

2:18pm Gaylord Fields:

I'm happy about this, as it reintroduces a strong CE rivalry, like back in the Chestnut vs. Kobayashi days.

2:18pm sam:

holy jezzus...a fix...settin up a pay per view meat jamming spectacular ! no doubt!

2:20pm sam:

theres enuff pay per view meat jamming already !

2:22pm Gaylord Fields:

@sam: I refuse to believe there's any impropriety in competitive eating, the oldest and purest form of sport!

2:23pm sam:

cant argue with that Gaylord

2:24pm sam:

Hurling the farthest is the second oldest competitive sport I think

2:25pm dk:

i'm guessing you don't get to be a champion hot-dog swallower if you're from a place with access to decent dogs. it'd be sacrilege to force a fistful of rutt's hut rippers down your gullet after drowning them in a 32oz cup of tepid poland springs.

2:27pm Gaylord Fields:

I'll take this opportunity to announce that I am willing to take on any and all challengers in an ice cream–eating contest (on a purely amateur level)!

I am serious.

2:27pm dk:

... from this observation i develop the following travel advice: when in San Jose, try the tacos!

2:29pm kyle a.:

Gaylord, you're on! If I run into at Tiki Oasis again we'll make a go of it!

2:30pm Gaylord Fields:

Banana splits at dawn! I'll be waiting for all comers at my training spot, Torico's!

2:30pm sam:

no taker here Gaylord....if I could temporarily remove my brain , maybe

2:32pm Gaylord Fields:

@sam: It worked wonders for me.

@kyle a: Don't let your mouth write a check your spoon can't cash!

2:32pm sam:

somebody notify the news media...this could be the beginning of a new new York tradition !

2:35pm Ken From Hyde Park:

Two hot dogs with some ketchup on a bun fills me up just fine. Maybe a third one a while later. If you need a training partner for the ice cream, Gaylord, I'd be happy to oblige.

2:35pm David in ATL from NJ:

Criminally insane in cages. Alright. Bring the family out.

2:36pm ETHEL:

IM COMIN FOR YA !!!

2:39pm Gaylord Fields:

@Ken From Hyde Park: You're now a member of Team Gaylord! I expect you to be able to handle at least six scoops a sitting, for starters.

2:44pm Blurb Clippington:

Chestnut ate more than 1.8 gallons of ice cream in six minutes Saturday...(Gaylord did say "any and all comers" didn't he?)

2:47pm Gaylord Fields:

@Blurb Clippigton: I also said I didn't want to jeopardize my amateur status. Some of us aren't in it for the money.

2:52pm Blurb Clippington:

I admire your purity of purpose Gaylord.

2:53pm Blurb Clippington:

Just a matter of time til the Olympics latch on.

2:56pm Ken From Hyde Park:

My new meal plan: breakfast > vanilla; dinner > strawberry; supper > chocolate. And some pistachio on Sundays. Midnight snacks will consist of cherry swirl.

2:57pm JakeGould:

How about a 50 piece McNugget bucket in 1 sitting? For a mere $10 you can be famous!

2:57pm Gaylord Fields:

Even though this is, by all metrics, quite hilarious, I wish I was kidding about this hero's journey of mine.

2:57pm Cosmic caveman:

Lets monkey around like a chimpanzebra

2:59pm Gaylord Fields:

@JakeGould: I'm a vegetarian — though that doesn't stop pro CE participants who also are veg from consuming meat. But I do this out of love of ice cream. And of winning.

3:00pm Gaylord Fields:

Do it, @Ken From Hyde Park!

3:01pm Philthy woman:

Thanks for infusing some energy into an otherwise rather dreary day here!

3:01pm Sam:

If Gaylord's buyin...I predict a Nathan's like turnout

3:01pm Cosmic caveman:

Bye Rex...bye
