5:30 a.m.
Mat said Sammi smelled like a distillery. She only got an hour of sleep.
Mat predicted either Sammi would be hilarious today, or you wouldn’t hear a peep out of her.
Mat only got four hours of rest. Asleep, burrito in belly, he dreamt the greatest song in the world.
Unfortunately he forgot everything except the lyric, “This is our band.”
Mat saw Sam the Cooking Guy out and about last night dressed head to toe in Fubu with frosted tips and Oakley’s.
He was jealous of all the attention Sam was getting, and pouted when Sam failed to notice that they were standing right next to one another for 45 minutes before Sam the Cooking God said hello.
We love him.
Sammi mumbled about Drumline and manatees before announcing she has to go to the DMV today.
6 a.m.
SPECIAL GUEST!
Bo Burnham, the 18-year-old comical musician or musical comedian, called in to talk about his special on Comedy Central tomorrow night.
Mat asked if the offensive nature of his humor is acceptable due to his delivery or to his boyish good looks.
He attributed it to his boyish good looks because then people can just say, “Oh, he’s a kid, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.”
Mat asked what it was like to be one of the most subscribed to people on YouTube.
Burnham replied existentially, “What does subscribed even mean?”
He dismissed the honor as somewhat meaningless as all his subscribers aren’t necessarily people. They could be cyborgs or just one guy with a bunch of accounts.
Burnham said it’s easy to become a YouTube sensation. It just takes a lot of luck and a complete lack of dignity.
Watch his Comedy Central special tomorrow at 11 p.m. if you like word play and a dude who’s just “a little bit goofy.”
And keep an eye out for the musical he is writing with Judd Apatow.
Mat played one of his songs for everyone called “Love Is.”
What’s on the Internet?
Post a question for President Obama here.

ANOTHER SPECIAL GUEST!
Jim Gaffigan called in to talk about his upcoming Comedy Central Special and, of course, Hot Pockets.
Gaffigan promised it will be as controversial as ever as he tackles hard-hitting issues and taboo topics like bacon, ketchup, and bowling.
He said he’s so offensive that half the crowd typically walks out of the room as soon as he enters.
Mat told him that he needs to always rock a beard to which he replied, “Girl, I hear you.”
His brief history lesson taught us that Vikings went to Ireland and partied it up, leaving him with pale skin and blondish red hair.
Sammi asked him about a MySpace message she received from him when she first created an account way back in high school.
He personally wrote a note and sent her a friend request because she had “manatees” listed under her Interests. At the time he said he was simply seeking out anyone who shared his Interest in manatees.
Gaffigan says that technology is moving way too rapidly for him. For example, he only uses his Twitter to tell people that he loves diarrhea.
Check out his special “King Baby” Sunday at 9 p.m. on Comedy Central!
Pop Trash: The Shins tour, ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ trailer (!!!!!!!), Sean Penn and Nat Portman, Three Stooges movie, and a man calls 911 after his estranged wife handcuffs herself to him.
8 a.m.
BEER FOR BREAKFAST
Finally, a boisterous crew in to enjoy some brew!
Mark, Brandon and Nate from Oceanside Ale Works came in to share their beer and laughs with us.
The brewer, GM, and lead brewer, respectively, presented Mat with a 91X tap handle made of wood from the original Oceanside pier.
It was to make up for Brandon’s P1 Army tattoo.
Two of the brewers are school teachers. Brandon is one of Mark’s ex-students.
The guys got into the brewing biz almost accidentally.
“It was a hobby that spun way out of control.”
They said life’s easy when you’re doing what you love and get to drink on the job. (Sounds familiar.)
The gang reviewed Oceanside Ale Works’ American Strong Ale. The 9.2% beer was originally a mistake.
Mark said if we drank it right when its done fermenting without letting it age, it would taste like jet fuel.
But we didn’t, so it didn’t.
They planned on making it a seasonal ale, but locals began sitting at the door shaking their pint glasses chanting, “I need the strong ale!”
Carlos compared it to the pot o’ gold at the end of a drunken rainbow.
Mat compared it to a tranny… and it made sense.
She’s smooth and sultry and then BAM! There’s an Adam’s apple.
Sammi said it tasted like the California Dream. It had the savory flavor of everything she imagined about and moved out here for.
Find Oceanside Ale Works all around the tri-city area from Four Seasons to P’s and Q’s.
Keep an eye out for their upcoming Cactus Cream Ale!
And visit the tasting hours on Fridays and Saturdays for $4.
Email beer@91x.com if you want to come in!
And gear up for our Home Brew Challenge.
ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 13TH GRADER?
Carlos is pretty, but is he smart?
Carlos, the 91X Morning Show’s resident 13th grader, and Javier, a Mexican Cal grad who wanted to take on the Colombian Dark Lord in a battle of the Latin races, went head to head in a battle of knowledge.
Mat’s wife put the game together for today so it was super-hard because she’s super-smart.
The questions:
Name the primary colors.
What’s the denominator in 1/5?
What’s the formula to find the area of a circle?
In Greek (not Roman) mythology, who is the god of the Sea?
A triangle that has three unequal sides is what kind of triangle?
What year did Neil Armstrong land on the moon?
Who wrote “Catcher in the Rye?”
Name the capital of Washington.
How long did the war of 1812 last?
Who painted the Mona Lisa?
Javier went first, answering only 2 correctly.
Sammi was, again, the only one who believed that Carlos would break his losing streak today.
AND HE DID!
He was on fire.
Mat snuck Javier the tickets to Offspring and Alkaline Trio while Carlos was gloating.
9 a.m.
