Beer for Breakfast, Again and Again

5:30 a.m.

Mahoney, hair gelled and ironically-messy, was wearing a blue, button-down, pin-stripe shirt and a blazer. Mat Diablo wondered why Mahoney was dressed up, and reminded him that no one can see him through a radio.

 

Mat fears this weekend with an overwhelming sense of existential dread; his wife his dragging him to the Margaret Cho show at Viejas on Saturday.

 

6 a.m.

A single tear rolled down Carlos’ cheek as Mat reported that 242 pounds of marijuana were seized from a truck at the San Clemente checkpoint on Monday.

 

San Diego has some of the most tech savvy residents, according to a recent Scarborough Research study. Mat and Mahoney are clearly not among them as they clumsily fumble around the inner-workings of a radio studio.

 

Mat giddily announced his plan to participate in the 9th annual lawn mower exchange by swapping his old gas-powered mower for a cordless, battery-powered one. Mahoney asked why this would make a difference since Mat has landscapers. Mat had no rebuttal.

 

Speaking of going electric, sales of the hybrid Toyota Prius hit 1.28 million as of the end of April.

 

Mat replayed highlights of the interview with Mayor Sanders from yesterday, including why old men love hosing down driveways, Rilo Kiley, Steve Francis commericials, and, of course, the “F#%k you, Steve!” incident. The mayor delightedly accepted a bundle of “F#%k you, Steve!” shirts and an invitation to return on a segment entitled, “Mayor Sanders’ iPod.”

 

A caller, after verifying that Mahoney drives a Hyundai Sonata, suggested that Mahoney fight himself if he wants to fight douche bags.

 

 

7 a.m.

Every time you pollute, a polar bear is put in a perilous position.

 

Jimmy Eat World: AWESOME live, AWFUL interview.

Mat tried talking about everything—from dancing to one of their songs at his wedding to Mexican food—to get any emotion out of Jim, but he was simply uninterested.

At least he saved a lot of energy to rock out tomorrow night!

A caller explained that Jim was just most likely just incredibly stoned. He said he’s been “that guy” before, and that he was probably just rifling through his pantry during the interview.

OK, we’ll buy it.

 

Pop Trash: Drunks, more political blowhards, and guess who’s having a baby.

 

Mat mocked a morning show favorite: the Animal Planet show, “Sunrise Earth.”

Mahoney and Sammi the Intern thoroughly enjoy the sensational tranquility it brings to the studio every morning at 7. It reminds them of a simpler time.

 

8 a.m.

 

Beer for Breakfast! “…Did we do news?”

 

Mat rushed through news after excitedly triggering the theme song that echoes the sentiment of the entire morning show crew too early.

“All I wanna do is drink beer for breakfast!”

                                       

Beer for Breakfast! (Finally.)

Two gentlemen from Latis Imports stopped by to bring Mat, Mahoney, and Carlos Palm Amber Beer from the 261-year-old, family-owned Palm Breweries in Belgium.

 

Mat, a self-proclaimed wino and noted beer non-connoisseur, reviewed the Palm Amber Beer this morning.

He said that it “tastes like Christmas; and not the ‘daddy drinks because you cry’ kind of Christmas.” He also noted that he can faintly taste the tears of the countrymen who bravely fought in the infamous Eighty Years’ War in Belgium and gave it 4 out of 5 Mat Diablo Mugs.

This brewery, among many others, will be featured at the Citybeat Festival of Beers in North Park this weekend.

 

Mat, other than a belly full of beer, also got a brand new band name out of the interview. So listen for the upcoming release from the Acid Rock band, Mat Diablo and the Secret Yeast.

 

Hooptie Car Show!

Bring your beat up, busted death-traps to Qualcomm tomorrow morning for the Hooptie Car Show at the 91X Morning Show live broadcast!

 

9 a.m.

Jesse Taylor returned this week to discuss last night’s episode of The Ultimate Fighter on Spike. Taylor teased the house drama to come, and described Forrest’s destruction of a door that didn’t make it on air.

The quarter-finals are coming up, so watch for Taylor’s triumphant return to TV brawls.

 

If you can’t wait until then, see where he’ll be around town by clicking here!

 

 

What did we learn?

Carlos learned that interviewing JEW isn’t worth it.

Sammi the Intern learned that Acid Rock still exists.

Mahoney learned that the mayor is the man.

Mat learned that Secret Yeast is actually headlining X-Fest tomorrow night.

 

Don’t forget to tailgate with the 91X Morning Show tomorrow morning with plenty of food, beer and X-Fest tickets from 5:30-10!

11,000 Calories and Complaints from Carolla

6 a.m.

The description of the robber of a local Gamestop was a spot-on depiction of Carlos. Mat Diablo became even more suspicious of Carlos as he reported that the ‘unknown’ robber tied up the clerk, threw him in the back of the store and submitted him to the ‘Dark Act.’

 

Mahoney grumbled and cursed as Mat announced a proposed 17 percent tax raise on strip clubs and porn from 8-25 percent.

 

Rod Luck’s mug shot brought overwhelming joy to the morning show crew. See it for yourself by clicking here!

 

The 91X Morning Show will feature a Hooptie Car Show at the live broadcast from X-Fest Friday morning. If your car can make it to Qualcomm despite its lack of necessary parts, or in spite of a recent car fire, drive it on down for a chance to win big! Cars will be crowned for a multitude of categories, so if there is anything wrecked on or in your ride, bring it over.

 

 

What’s on the Internet? http://dresshiker.com/ 

 

 

7 a.m.

 

Rants & Raves:

Carlos meandered over to Pita Pit the other day to satisfy some menacing munchies. He ordered a Chicken Caesar Pita, but was “mentally dominated” by the Pita Pit employee.  She grabbed a completely different pita and just packed it full of random components that he doesn’t particularly like, and definitely didn’t order. Instead of saying anything and backing up the lunch-rush line, he proceeded to pay for the pita, and even ended up purchasing chips and a drink. $10 later, he had an armful of food he did not want, an empty wallet, and a broken spirit. Bullied and hungry, he ate what he was given.

 

Mat wondered why he, like Carlos, can never bring himself to send food back, no matter how awful it may be. Recently he supped at a seafood restaurant and ordered the $29 scallop entrée. They were rotten, rubbery, and tasted really fishy, but he didn’t make a peep.

 

Pop Trash: Nick Hogan sentenced to eight months, Lohan wants Brand, and Megan Fox is topless. Fraggle Rock will triumphantly return as a live action musical flick!

 

Mahoney, with his eternal can-do attitude, thinks he can effortlessly accomplish anything and everything the gang discusses. He snubbed the loser, Psyko, of the 11,000-calorie bet featured during “What’s on the Internet?” and said he could do it, “no problem.” It should be noted that all of the previous endeavors he’s embarked upon have resulted in an epic fail.

 

Mat spoke to the mastermind behind the bet— Gedimin, a co-worker of the ‘Dress Hiker,’ Psyko.

Gedimin said Psyko tried to consume four jars of peanut butter and a gallon of melted Kirkland ice cream. He did not succeed. He made a second attempt to eat two whole Costco pizzas, but only finished a quarter of one. Nevertheless, Mahoney is adamant he can complete the challenge.

 

Tomorrow night at 6:30 p.m. join Gedimin and friends in the parking lot of Cowles Mountain as they take pleasure in the humiliation of Pskyo’s haute hike in a little red dress.

 

8 a.m.

The 91X Morning Show prides itself on being two things—local and independent.

Friday, a caller on Adam Carolla’s nationally-syndicated show asked why he can’t be heard in San Diego anymore. Carolla launched into a rant about the two unheard of, unfunny men (Mat and Mahoney) that 91X hired for the morning show instead of him—a self-proclaimed “high profile” funnyman with movies, reality TV and a laundry list of other media ventures under his belt. The answer is simple, Carolla, you even said it yourself—you don’t live here! It’s about San Diego, not the paycheck.

 

 

9 a.m.

Join the 91X Morning Show as they broadcast live from X-Fest Friday morning from 5:30a.m.-on. Free food from Roberto’s, free Starbucks, beer, the Hooptie Car Show, live music and X-Fest tickets!

 

Mahoney began planning his 11,000-calorie meal. He considered the easy route—an Awesome Blossom and a giant steak—but wants to man-up and eat three, 3500-calorie, massive pizzas from Papa John’s instead.

Mat called him out as “all talk” in reference to all of his past shortcomings and told him he was like Capri Sun— zero percent juice.

 

Mat tried to find a world record for Rowley to break.

His suggestions: Longest spoon session in a sleeping bag with Preston? Worst mustache on an Asian* guy?

 

 

*Rowley’s not Asian…

 

Mahoney winced as Mat replaced ‘Pop Trash’ with the new song from The Cure. Mat shed a joyous tear for each note in the song.

 

Psyko, the ‘Dress Hiker’ called Mahoney to tell him he will fail at the 11,000-calorie challenge.

 

What did we learn?

Carlos learned that he robbed a Gamestop.

Mahoney learned that both Mat and Carlos will be shamed when he successfully eats himself out of house and home.

For the Love of Carlos, Stop Shaving

5:30 a.m.

Mat’s got jokes: “Rod Luck makes George Hamilton look like Powder.”

 

6 a.m.

People of San Diego: Start your mustaches!

Mat made a humble request to the men (and folically-defunct women) of San Diego to stop shaving (just their faces) in preparation of the Stache Bash coming up on the 23rd in honor of Carlos’ birthday.

 

Mat was delighted to hear that Rod Luck of KUSI punched his lady-friend in the mouth. He speculated that Luck sleeps under a Wendy’s heat lamp, and proceeded to make a multitude of jokes of that nature.

 

State? A party school? Unheard of. Apparently SDSU is worried that the recent drug bust could mar the student body’s reputation of impeccable behavior and subdued social habits.

 

The Padres have been slump-busted. You’re welcome, San Diego.

 

AAMCO received a shout out on the Drunk Dial Line.

 

What’s on the Internet? http://sdsu08.com/ 

 

Mat and Mahoney discussed the problems they have with Hollywood’s Walk of Fame. Billy Dee Williams has a star, Kiefer Sutherland does not.

Bill Cosby does, Malcolm-Jamal Warner does not.

Journey does, Nirvana does not.

Paula Abdul does, Wilford Brimley does not.

 

A caller that knew Alex Trebek has a star, but Tony Danza does not, won tickets to X-Fest and passes to meet Offspring.

 

7 a.m.

Since neither Mat nor Mahoney is particularly interesting, and neither sees movies very often, today marked the first of many Mondays on which Bob Grimm will deliver his notoriously brutal movie reviews to the 91X Morning Show.

 

Speedracer: Grimm called it “two hours and fifteen minutes of incoherent computer animation.” He gave the flick 1 happy popcorn bucket out of a possible 5, noting that it really only deserves one spilled bucket of crushed popcorn with a Doc Martin mashing it into the sticky mess on the floor.

What Happens in Vegas: “Another failure of a movie,” according to Grimm. The highlight is Cameron Diaz briefly in her underwear. 2 popcorn buckets.

Maid of Honor: Grimm could not stress how much he hates Patrick Dempsey enough. Mat asked if it was at least a good date movie. Grimm responded with, “Good date movie!? No, unless you hate your date.” 0.5 of a popcorn bucket.

 

Pop Trash: Dennis Farina’s mustache does not give him authority to carry a weapon. Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson rumors. Some chick named ‘Poverty’ won Survivor.

 

8 a.m.

SPECIAL GUEST!

Andrew, of the X-Fest-playing band Ludo, joined Mat and Mahoney on the show this morning. Andrew detailed the band’s 28 minute, pterodactyl-packed rock opera that trails a widower on his quest through time to prevent his wife’s death.

 

Mat asked Andrew if St. Louis is equally as terrible as Mahoney turned out.

 

Check out Ludo’s most recent album “You’re Awful, I Love You” before you see them perform at X-Fest this Friday!

 

 

QUESTION: Who would get his own star on a ‘San Diego Walk of Fame?’

 

Mahoney nominated Michael Turko’s mustache.

Mat suggested Rod Luck (for the sheer power of his fists) and the Mt. Helix Sand Yeti.

 

Callers wanted to see a star for John Jon Pebsworth from Buck-O-Nine, Ron Burgandy, and Big Black.

The winning call, whose prize was X-Fest tickets and passes to meet and greet Jimmy Eat World, was a bid for Carlos and his mom to share a star with “roommates forever” etched into it.

Mat would add another star adjacent to it for the “Dark Act.”

 

 

9 a.m.

Mat said that Carlos’ mustache makes him look like an artist’s rendering of a pedophile for a Police Department.

 

 

Big News!

Mayor Jerry Sanders will be in the studio Wednesday!

The mayor’s office contacted Mat and told them Sanders was interested in stopping by after he heard they wanted to bring him in.

Mat plans to ask hard-hitting questions such as, “Do you like our ‘F#%k you, Steve!’ shirts?” and, “Do you want one?”

 

Mat was outraged when Carlos said his ‘roommate’ is not coming to his birthday celebration because, as we all know, she is responsible for his birthday in the first place.

 

Mat went out of town this weekend, only to be hounded with drunk dials various 91X staff members.

 Mahoney called with a way to revolutionize the show (that he subsequently forgot as he sobered up.)

Preston called to tell Mat that he bought $40 worth of pizza on Saturday.

 

Mat also learned that the legend of the Mahanimal is true: if you leave a bottle of wine and a glass on the kitchen counter, Mahoney will sneak in late at night, drunk dial you, and walk your dog.

 

What did we learn?

Carlos learned that his ‘roommate’ is going to have a star on the San Diego Walk of Fame.

Mat learned the Rod Luck/Powder joke from the beginning of the show.

Sonata Whole Lot Goin' On

6 a.m.

Mahoney, as Mat’s “hype man,” repeated the last word of every statement Mat made in a strange falsetto. Essentially he demonstrated how high his voice could go when he’s excited (and creeped everyone out.)

 

Mat reported that the DEA has been embellishing accounts of arrests in the SDSU drug sting by including students that have been arrested in routine police operations from January until early March. Only 33 students have been arrested as a result of the bust.

 

Mahoney suspects Mr. T in a recent string of gold-focused jewelry robberies from area JC Penny outlets.

 

A few kids in Texas were arrested for disturbing a grave and making a bong out of the corpse’s skull. That’s what I call a pot head. (Har har.)

 

In honor of Friar Friday, Mat re-aired the Jake Peavy interview from late in the show yesterday. The interview is expected to serve as the slump-buster that will bring the Padres out of the recent series of letdowns. Peavy starts tonight against the Rockies at 7:05.

 

Mat and Mahoney are the only two men to ever make a successful Tears for Fears reference before 7 a.m.

 

What’s on the Internet? http://baconsalt.com/ 

 

Mahoney, a self-proclaimed “modern-day Steve McQueen,” drives a Hyundai Sonata that Mat and Carlos frequently mock.

Mat, looking to rid himself of the gas-guzzling 4-runner he currently operates, asked his dad, an avid Consumer Report reader and fan, for automotive advice. Dad Diablo told ‘Matty’ to seriously consider buying the stunning, sensible car known as the Sonata.

Mat, unable to explain to his father why that purchase would be inexcusable, toyed with the idea of buying a newer, better, and in-all-ways-superior-to-Mahoney’s Sonata just for kicks.

 

7 a.m.

“So can we drink now?”

 

The great debate over whether Mat’s hair is a certified faux-hawk (“Is it... or Isn’t it?”) continues.

 

Mat interviewed Kenny Mayne of ESPN about his book, UNLV, the Golden Age of Sportscenter, plans for the Padres, and his eccentric Cha-Cha.

 

Pop Trash Earth, Wind, & Fire edition: Mahoney says “wassup” to Liv Tyler. Matthew McConaughey as Captain America? Grand Theft Auto made some money.

 

8 a.m.

Ruggy came in to help everyone get their Yelp on!

 

Drunk and hungry? Ruggy to the rescue.

Get a free side of hookers with your Huevos Rancheros at Rudford’s on

El Cajon Blvd
or the Ruggy-recommended ‘Mi-Hammy Vice’ at the Studio Diner in Kearny Mesa.

 

Get sauced with your mom at Lei Lounge in University Heights during Sunday brunch to make this Mother’s Day extra special.

 

Music: DJ Sultan at Club 2028, Buddy Akai at Beauty Bar, and Grand Ole Party at the Ken Club.

 

This week’s ‘Get your Yelp on’ was brought to you by Lorenzo Lamas and The Obscure Reference Fund.

 

QUESTION: What is the best drunk food?

Mahoney said hash browns, hands down.

Mat said Horchata.

 

Callers included classics like Jack in the Box tacos, anything at Las Cuatro Milpa, and 3 a.m. Denny’s, as well as the less popular Scrapple (?) The girl who won tickets to X-Fest admitted to her addiction to Carne Asada burritos despite the aftermath when they yield less-than-desirable outcomes. Literal outcomes…that come out…

 

9 a.m.

Mat saluted Mother’s Day with a salute to Carlos’ mom.

 

Drunk Dial Line!

Fatty almost threw up and asked Steve West to hook him up with Barbara Walters.

“If you guys are on air who’s manning the Bro Factory.”

A Hyundai enthusiast phoned in a bong rip and questioned Mat about his pompadour and wine-drinking habits.

Someone took the time to put a phone up to what could only be the snores of the Mt. Helix Sand Yeti to let know everyone know the beast is at bay in a drunken slumber… for now.

 

Drink! Drink! Drink! Call! Call! Call!

(858) 560-5911

 

What did we learn?

Carlos learned that Mahoney needs beer to be even mildly entertaining.

Mahoney learned that it’s not gay to stencil another man’s face on your chest.

Mat learned Lorenzo Lamas.

Mahappy's Ultimate Man-Crush Day

5:30 a.m.

Mat Diablo started drinking at 5:45 a.m. Classy.

 

6 a.m.

Mat was pleased to report on the mediocre midday police pursuit of a man in a blue Sebring, and thanked him for providing the most car-chase-induced excitement since ‘the tank incident.’

 

The interview from yesterday, in which Mat Diablo and Mahoney were “borderline

d#%ks” to Dane Cook, re-aired (in case you missed it.)

 

Mahoney called ‘Handlebars’ the greatest thing since Disturbed.

 

What’s on the Internet? http://www.woot.com/ 

 

7 a.m.

After he found out that the undercover DEA officers involved with the SDSU drug bust never even had to attend class to crack the system, Mat proclaimed that it is easier to get drugs at SDSU than get accepted.

 

According to Mahoney, Wilford Brimley is the pitcher set to start the Padres game at 10 a.m. today. (He meant to say “Wil Ledezma,” but is too white to be able to pronounce it correctly.)

Mat berated him, noting that he and Carlos, ‘the two brown guys,’ are offended by the severity of Mahoney’s whiteness. Carlos made Mat admit that he is only considered “brown” today because he got a Mystic Tan.

Then everyone heard Mat rap again.

 

Pop Trash: CSI drug bust, Hasselbeck is the only attractive Republican woman in the world, and Barbara Walters says “F#%k you, Star!” 

 

Beer for breakfast! “Karl Strauss in the house” edition

Mahoney was giddy, drunk and intimidated as Paul Segura, the Brew Master at Karl Strauss Brewery, graced the morning show with his presence and presents. He brought in the Karl Strauss Bavarian Hefeweizen and the Belgium Triple, a beer with 9 percent alcohol content and the same main two ingredients as Grape Nuts cereal—perfect for Beer for Breakfast! Each received 4 out of 5 Mahoney Mugs for overall enjoyment.  

 

Want to be a Brew Master someday? (Who doesn’t!?) Paul advised aspiring brew bros to check out the Fermentation Sciences program at UC Davis.

 

Head over to Karl Strauss’ Beach to Brewery Music and Beer Fest this Saturday in Pacific Beach for a drunken good time! Be sure to say hi to Mahoney (just look for the tall, goofy Midwesterner following Paul around like a puppy.)

 

8 a.m.

Mahoney, drunk and giggling from Paul’s visit, was acting like he just experienced his first kiss at his first seventh grade dance.

Mat and Carlos said they love the new (happy) Mahoney. All it took was a visit from his idol and free beer.

 

A new contender for Mat’s rally car has arisen. Sammi the Intern’s light blue 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme has consistently let her down and its time for payback.  Mat described Sammi the Intern to the listeners, and the car he pictured her driving. Then, a few mornings ago, he saw (and heard) her pull up and asked if she had driven straight off the set of Sanford & Son. He was intrigued enough to consider demolishing the car.

 

 

SPECIAL GUEST!

Jake Peavy called in from Atlanta to test the morning show’s “slump-buster” theory. The Padres play at 10 a.m. (PST) today and, although he is not pitching, Peavy was already pumped for the game. He thanked Mat, Mahoney and Carlos for the continued support and encouraged everyone in San Diego to come out to PETCO Park this weekend when the Padres return for a three-game series against the Rockies. He’ll be pitching tomorrow night.

Peavy described the team dynamic during these past few weeks as a “light-hearted camaraderie” in the midst of the losing streak. He said they all try to remember to have as much fun as they can, and stay loose and relax because that is what baseball is all about!

 

9 a.m.

ANOTHER SPECIAL GUEST!

Mahoney’s ultimate man-crush day continued with a visit from Jesse Taylor of Mat and Mahoney’s favorite television show: The Ultimate Fighter.

Jesse has already made it to the quarter-finals after winning two fights early in the season.

He joined Mat and Mahoney for a recap of last night’s episode, including an analysis of audio from Forrest and Rampage.

Jesse hinted at an upcoming brawl in the testosterone-laden house that he referred to as a “possible WWIII.” He added that in a house lush with booze and full of fighters with no real outlets to the goings-on of the world (TV, Internet, radio, etc.), some “s#%t’s bound to go down.”

 

Mat almost ruined the jovial radiance emanating from Mahoney this morning, but the gallons of beer consumed served as a blockade from any hindrance of happiness.

“Iamactuallyinagoodmood,” Mahoney slurred, reassuringly.

 

Pop Trash: Mike Epps punches Paternity in the face.

Mahoney cheerfully suggested that Jimmy Kimmel shoot himself in the face tonight, as Gavin DeGraw is his special guest.

 

What did we learn?

Carlos learned that all it takes is beer and a representative from Karl Strauss to make Mahoney merry.

Sammi the intern learned that Mat needs to buy her car and destroy it.

Mahoney learned that beer is the answer to everything.

Mat learned that the answer is not always mustache when it comes to Mahoney’s mood. And everyone learned “go Padres!”
