[Host]

Together, let's drive the best of Homburg's morning sickness. But right now, it's time for Brady to give us all the news. In the entertainment world, we call it the entertainment drill. Brady, entertain me.

[Brady]

Ryan Seacrest was interviewed on a radio station yesterday. He's gay and New Jersey. It was actually on Wednesday. He walked out twice on the interview.

[Host]

Why?

[Brady]

Because one of the fine hosts asked him. He'd answered a question. He said in the first few minutes of the interview, he asked Ryan, would you rather, as American Idol star, would you rather spend a night with Kelly Clarkson or Clay Aiken?

[Host]

What did he say? He walked out. It was too hard for him to

[Brady]

ignore the sexual connotation of the question, saying, you're both very talented, blah, they're both very talented, blah, blah, blah. And then he got up and got out of seat. Then they talked him back. Seriously, come on back in.

[Host]

We were just playing, right?

[Brady]

And then there's dead air for a little bit. And he says, ryan, are you homosexual?

[Host]

That's it. No.

[Brady]

He says, I can't stay here, man. I got a jet. And then all he said as he was storming off, he left. He says, you know, I don't know why I trusted you.

[Eric]

Answer the question.

[Host]

It asked me that question. Are you gay? No. Yeah.

[Eric]

Because if you're not gay. You're gonna stand there. What's wrong with you?

[Brady]

Ask me again.

[Host]

Make sure.

[Brady]

Sean, are you gay?

[Eric]

No.

[Host]

Toledo. You want to make it the hat trick? John, how do you. Are you gay? No.

[Brady]

Ask me.

[Host]

Brady, are you gay?

[Brady]

I am out of here.

[Host]

I knew it.

[Eric]

He's gay.

[Host]

But that is so gay. And it's all right nowadays. Brokeback Mountain has made it good to be gay. Be gay. It means happy.

[Eric]

Maybe they should have worded it a little nicer. Are you a butt pirate?

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Host]

Can I smell your fingers?

[Brady]

That's nicer.

[Host]

That is nicer.

[Eric]

No, if you just answer the question.

[Host]

Waffles or hot dogs? What do you prefer?

[Eric]

I don't like either.

[Host]

Really?

[Brady]

Give me the choice again.

[Host]

Waffles or hot dogs?

[Brady]

Both.

[Host]

Bisexual.

[Brady]

Waffle and a hot dog.

[Host]

You got a waffle sit in front of you and a hot dog. What are you gonna pick?

[Brady]

No, I'm going for the.

[Host]

If you wanted. But take the waffle.

[Eric]

Do I get syrup with that?

[Brady]

Yeah, right. Now you know.

[Host]

But the hot dog represents homosexuality. Oh, yes. You didn't say that. No. Just testing you. Eric, are you gay? No. See? Took you a second, but no.

[Brady]

Is the hot dog Vienna Beef?

[Host]

I don't know.

[Brady]

Do I get ketchup?

[Host]

Yeah, you can have. You can put anything on it.

[Brady]

We could have the Return of the Swamp Thing too.

[Host]

I'm hungry.

[Brady]

Heather Locklear has thrown the Talon with Richie Sambora.

[Host]

She's done after 11 years.

[Eric]

What does that have to do with the swamp.

[Host]

She was in Return of the Swamp Thing. Yeah, she was. Adrienne Barbeau was in Swamp Thing and Heather Locklear was in Return of the Swamp Thing. I just watched it a couple months ago.

[Brady]

Eric.

[Eric]

Have that on your resume.

[Host]

It did her all right.

[Brady]

And Denise Richards and Charlie Sheen aren't talking to each other at all.

[Host]

Damn it.

[Eric]

That's too bad.

[Brady]

Lee Tamahori.

[Host]

Asian?

[Brady]

Yes. Director of the James Bond movie Die Another Day.

[Eric]

He's dead.

[Brady]

He's alive and doing quite well. He also did Triple X. State of the Union. So a terrible director, but a better transvestite. Street Squish.

[Host]

What?

[Brady]

He was arrested in a big prostitution sting. The problem was our. Our boy Tama was actually the Street Squish Brady. He was cruising Santa Monica Boulevard. Went up to a undercover cop who was in a car. Offered him perform an act of deviant.

[Host]

The director of Triple X?

[Brady]

Yes. He's currently free on a two thousand dollar bail. And his court date is February 24th.

[Host]

Was it triple X? Vin Diesel or State of the Union?

[Brady]

No.

[Host]

Ice cube.

[Brady]

Yeah.

[Host]

Okay, so he was the terrible, if it's possible, the worst of the two of those movies. And what was the other one he directed?

[Brady]

Die Another Day.

[Host]

That was a pretty terrible Bond movie. He had to make some money, though.

[Brady]

Wait a minute.

[Eric]

Is that the one with Halle Berry?

[Host]

Yes.

[Eric]

That is not too bad. She was in it.

[Brady]

Tom Sizemore back on the wagon, I guess. Or he fell off the wagon. No.

[Host]

What would it be? I've always confused that. If you're on the wagon, that means you're drunk. If you're off the wet. No, if you're on the wagon, you're not drunk, you're sober. If you're off the wagon, you're drunk.

[Brady]

He fell off the wagon then.

[Host]

So he's drunk again.

[Brady]

Yeah. Possession of meth.

[Eric]

Oh, he's not drunk.

[Host]

He's not drunk. He's not messing with the little stuff.

[Brady]

He said, we're off to see the Wiz Mater.

[Host]

But this is the best thing for his career because he doesn't do good movies. The only time he's one.

[Eric]

Natural Born Killers.

[Host]

It was decent, but it wasn't because

[Brady]

he's looking at 16 months prison.

[Host]

He was cool. Scagnetti.

[Brady]

He was cool.

[Host]

I like that.

[Brady]

But.

[Host]

Yeah, but that was 1 12, 15 years ago.

[Eric]

He's made good movie back in the day.

[Host]

Yeah. It's the best thing for his career because his career's over. It's been over for. Since Saving Private Ryan. And he wasn't even that big a part of that. It was good, but you remember the

[Brady]

super stud, Dick Van Patten?

[Host]

Oh, yeah. He's not dead, is he? He's alive.

[Brady]

Okay. He had a stroke, though.

[Eric]

Oh, you sucked us in on that one.

[Host]

Kind of gave me the. Oh. Oh.

[Brady]

He's 77 years old. He had a stroke last month. Luckily, however, even though he suffered some speech impairment paralysis, he's already on the road to full recovery.

[Host]

Geez.

[Brady]

He'll be hosting this year's New Year's Eve party. Oh, no, I don't know about that, but there's a diabetic stroke.

[Eric]

They better hurry up. Make Spaceballs, too. So I get them in there.

[Host]

They got to get that. It is enough reunion going, too.

[Brady]

We have a little picture of a commercial doing Natural Balance. Natural Balance Edibles for dogs. So delicious. You can eat them, too.

[Host]

Wrong with you. Oh, no.

[Brady]

Thought it'd be good to have a Dick Van Patten commercial.

[Host]

Sure, always.

[Brady]

And in the box office this weekend when a stranger calls. Have you Been seeing the.

[Host]

Yeah, it's the old dumb movie.

[Brady]

Yeah, the remake. But they've been doing the commercial.

[Host]

My issue with that.

[Brady]

To be continued.

[Host]

Back in the 70s, there used to be that. That horrible feeling when the phone would ring and have you checked the children? And the girl's like, oh, my God. She goes up and checks him. And then she calls to have the phone tapped to say, you know, the guy goes, oh, my God, he's in the house. That's the big horror of the movie, that the guy who's calling is actually in the house calling. But nowadays with caller ID and cell phones and stuff, you'd either know right away or the phone company couldn't tell whether.

[Eric]

Just so happens that she doesn't have caller id.

[Host]

Yeah, exactly. But who doesn't have that now in the house she's living in? They've got caller id. You can't buy a phone without it. Now

[Brady]

an unlimited release. Soon to be worldwide releasing. A good woman that has Scarlett Johansson in it. Wow.

[Host]

She naked? Does she get naked yet?

[Brady]

Let's see then.

[Eric]

I'm not. Well, I'd price Helen.

[Brady]

Helen Hunt is also in it. She plays a seductive older woman trying to steal Scarlett Johansson's husband away. Could be.

[Eric]

Could be boys.

[Host]

That would happen.

[Eric]

I. Dumbest guy in the world.

[Host]

Scarlett Johansson. I've got to go. Bug eyes. Wants a date with me. She looks like she's just developing down syndrome over the years. It's true. Her eyes are all drooping now.

[Eric]

She didn't look bad and as good as it gets.

[Host]

But look at her eyes.

[Eric]

I wasn't looking at her.

[Host]

She's corky. I know. That's where she's gotcha. I know.

[Brady]

You're.

[Host]

You're boob blind. We are.

[Eric]

Well, all of a sudden, she had boobs.

[Host]

I know.

[Eric]

I don't know where they came from.

[Host]

I do.

[Eric]

Where? Wonder bro.

[Brady]

Maybe not confirmed, but this could be huge. The Spice Girls reunion is back on. Except it's gonna be missing one Spice.

[Host]

Posh.

[Eric]

No, Baby.

[Brady]

Mel C. Or which is Sporty Spice. Still won't agree to participate. Darn it.

[Host]

Here's my favorite. But the.

[Eric]

The one that broke. Broke the whole group up. She'll play I don't know which one is what.

[Host]

I don't know what is what.

[Eric]

Anyway, she's one.

[Host]

Oh, Grandma Spice.

[Eric]

Yeah, Grandma.

[Host]

She was like, 40.

[Brady]

Finally. Is file sharing really the reason the music industry is in such a slump?

[Host]

No.

[Brady]

According to a poll of 1000 people by Rolling Stone magazine and the Associated Press, 92 of those surveyed had never downloaded music illegally. 80% say they do indeed believe this is stealing. 75 blame the decline in record sales on the high cost of CDs, while 58 say the quality of today's music is weak.

[Host]

Well, they put out one good song and make a whole album around it.

[Brady]

And our boy Nick Lachey had his singles out.

[Host]

What?

[Brady]

What's Left of Me?

[Host]

Nothing.

[Brady]

It made his premiere AOL Music this morning.

[Host]

Nothing is left of you, Nick. You were Jessica's love toy, and that's the only reason anyone in America liked you.

[Brady]

Or check it out. Www.the letter Y.

[Host]

That's his thing. Good luck, Nick.

[Eric]

Where did all my money go?

[Host]

Yeah, why doesn't anyone film me doing anything anymore? Because that gargantuan set of jugs that used to be with you all the time isn't so. No more cameras for you. On the flip side, Nick's getting a lot of privacy.

[Eric]

A lot of strip clubs.

[Host]

A lot of strip clubs. And he can go in and no one notices. There's your entertainment drill. Guadalupe Square is coming up in just moments. It's 98K upd.

[Sponsor Announcer]

It's out of control now.

[Janice]

Hello. I'm here during the lunch rush with Janice, who owns her own food truck.
