We Interrupt This Program...
Sorry to get this mornings Rundown off to a rough start, but we had some technical difficulties this morning, and I spent most of the first segment on the phone with our I.T. guy trying to resolve the issue. Luckily the major problem was resolved. Unluckily, I'm not sure what to tell you about the show, but I did hear Pauly telling Tools and Marianne about some of his favorite TV shows like Hannibal, based on Hannibal Lechter, and Bates Motel, the origin story or Norman Bates and his mother from the classic Hitchcock film Psycho.

Road Rage/Wimmen's Is Crazy
Pauly tells about a road rage incident he had yesterday while driving down Monroe Avenue with his girlfriend Ryann when they were dangerously cutoff by a car full of young dudes. Pauly kept his cool, but his chick went ballistic... screaming, swearing, threatening the other car, telling Pauly to chase the punks down, etc... It wasn't just a quick thing, but an ongoing outburst. Since Pauly had his windows down, sun roof open, the other carmade a U Turn to head back at Pauly, possibly for a physical confrontation. Luckily for Pauly the kids only tailed them for a little while, and eventually went away, giving Googs and Ryann the finger and an F bomb. Ryann felt badly about possibly getting Pauly killed, and hopefully learned her lesson about road rage.
Listeners called to tell us stories of road rage, including a guy that was arrested even though he feels he was in the right... but doesn't everyone? One guy thinks 6'2", 280 lb. Pauly is a pussy for not confronting the dudes.
Marshall Fine Film Reviews
Iron Man 3 is the only major flick this week... The returning cast includes Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, Don Cheadle as Rhodey, Jon Favreau as Happy, and Paul Bettany as the voice of Jarvis.
Ben Kingsley plays the Mandarin, who comic fans know to be one of Iron Man's greatest enemies. In "Iron Man 3" he initially comes across as a modern-day terrorist.
Marshall thought the first Iron Man was very good, the second one not so much... #3 he says is better than number 2, but not as good as the original.
Wade Boggs
One of baseballs all time great hitters joins us on the phone to promote May 18th's Pepsi Max Field Of Dreams game at Frontier Field where legends like him, Reggie Jackson, and Ozzie Smith will be playing. Wade reminisces about the 33 inning game in played in Rochester as a member of the Pawtucket Red Sox. We also chat about the '86 World Series where he was a member of the losing Boston Red Sox, and the '96 Yankees team he was a member of that won the series.

Iliza Shlesinger and Dario Joseph
Joined in studio by comedians Iliza Shlesinger and Dario Joseph, performing at The Comedy Club this weekend.... Iliza's little dog is also here. Iliza talks about being on the road, her funny parents, joins Marianne in making fun of Tools' rock collection, and winds up scratching her dog's back with Marianne's fork. Eeewww.
Joel Hodgson

Joined on the phone by Joel Hodson, the creator of Mystery Science Theater 3000, in Rochester tomorrow night for his one-man show "Riffing Myself" at The Dryden Theater. Billy is a HUGE fan of Joel's and turns into even more of a babbling mush-mouthed idiot than normal. Joel is nice enough to humor Billy and answer questions about MST3K's creation, the writing process, anecdotes, his standup career, and more. For info about Joel's show in Rochester, and to buy tickets click HERE.
Before Joel called show members were talking about moments in their lives they feel badly about. Pauly talks about being disrespectful to his parents as a kid, and the time his dad took him to a baseball game and all he did was complain. Billy wishes he could take back the last 10 minutes of his geeking out.
Rachel Vs. Spidey

Marvel Comics iconic webslinger has a new arch enemy... Channel 8's Rachel Barnhart. Many Rochestarian's are excited about the filming of the Spider-Man movie being filmed downtown, but not everyone. Rachel is giving a voice to people that are seeing the negative side of film being shot here. Is the economic impact really what is being portrayed? Are businesses being fairly compensated? Are RTS riders being endangered by the relocation of buses? Will this really bring more movies to Rochester. Rachel says Spider-Man is bringing excitement to town, but she just wants to point out the other side of it. Here is a quote from a listener email that disagrees with Ms. Barnhart...
"She always makes my blood boil when she does segments, she constantly spews her non progressive view that shows she doesn’t like any new ideas that can make Roc proud. Money doesn’t have to be everything, town pride has value also."
More Spider-Man Debate
A carryover from the previous segment with show members talking about how Rochestarians are being put out by the moviemakers. We get some calls from people working downtown being inconveienced.... but this is so cool...
ESPN Memo

With the revelation of the NBA's first out gay player a memo was released by ESPN, and made public by PTI host Tony Kornheiser...
Kornheiser told listeners that, for instance, employees are encouraged to use the word “gay” instead of “homosexual.”
“They say that ‘homosexuality’ or ‘homosexual’ is used and hurled at people who are gay as a slur,” Kornheiser explained, saying he was unaware of the issue but will use the network’s preferred word.
ESPN has also singled out the term “sexual preference,” saying it wants employees to use “sexual orientation” instead. Kornheiser said, “I completely understand and agree with this one, 100 percent.” The reasoning, he explained, is that “the mythology of being gay is strictly mythology, that people choose this. The position now — the science position now — is that you are born with this, so preference is not out there.”
Kornheiser also applauded Collins for his decision to come out, but suggested that the event isn’t “as landscape-changing as other people might think it is.”
“I personally think it took great courage to do this, but I also don’t think it’s Jackie Robinson,” he said.
We also wind up talking about offensive names and stereotypes in sports mascots... think the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians... especially the Indians mascot Chief Wahoo.

Kentucky Derby
Kentucky Derby is this weekend joined by Todd Haight from Batavia Downs OTB who gives up tips on how to bet and what to bet on. If they were speaking a language I understand I'd pass them on to you... instead I recommend you go to Batavia Downs yourself and talk to the experts. I heard the number 5 in the conversation, so maybe you could bet that.
Monday's Show
Wease is back from Florida, and he'll have Vacation Hell stories. Do ya really need more than that? Also, Tools back in his sports slot, Doug Emblidge with the news, and much more. It's nice to be important, but more important to be nice... have a great weekend.
