What Was Kyle Doing? The Answer!
Though, pulling a tooth, chewing a hangnail, popping a zit, and (my personal favorite), "biting his tongue [because] he doesn't want to call Elliot a dick!" were good answers, none of them were correct...
The answer: During a bit back in 2004, Kyle had to eat Flounder's nasty toenail clippings. Gross! Stay tuned for more in the future!

US Gymnast Paul Hamm Withdraws From Olympics
Hamm broke his right hand two months ago at the National Championships, which he said that it did not heal enough to make him fit for the tournament. He notified his withdrwal from the Olympics to USA Gymnastics and the U.S. Olympic Committee on Monday.
He is still feeling pain in his right hand, but the bigger concern could be the strained rotator cuff in his left shoulder that made training last week "a disaster."
"For my comeback to be successful, I needed to make continuous progress and have no setbacks ...The time frame I was given was extremely short. ... This has been hardest decision I've ever had to make, but I have too much respect for the Olympics and my team to continue on when I know the best thing for everyone is for me to step aside." - Paul Hamm.
Raj Bhavsar, who also was an alternate in 2004, will take Hamm's spot.

German Super Cup : Bayern Munich -1 vs Borrussia Dortmund -2
Last years German double winners, Bayern Munich, were embarrassed to lose new coach Jurgen Klinsmann's first chance of a trophy yesterday.
They were beaten 2-1 by Borrussia Dortmund, who gained revenge for their narrow defeat in the Cup Final last season.
Dortmund took control in a lively first half when they scored twice within five minutes after half-an-hours play. Jakub Blaszczykowski scored the first from Mladen Petric's pass, and the advantage was doubled just four minutes later when Tamas Hajnal's 20-yard free-kick gave Bayern keeper Michael Rensing no chance.
In the second half, Klinsmann made five changes, and they finally pulled one back through substitute Mehmet Ekici, but they couldn't improve on that.
Munich were missing Ribery, who was badly injured in the Euro2008 tournament, but with Podolski, Klose, Toni, Schweinsteiger et al on the pitch, would have expected a better showing than that.
Tributes paid to Scots rugby player Gordon Mackay
Former Scotland captain Bulloch claimed Mackay, who had a solitary Under-21 cap, one of the best players never to have won full honours.
Mackay, who had been coaching Glasgow Accies, launched his career at Glasgow Academy and joined Accies, before a move to Stirling County and then France.
Bulloch said: "Gordon's career spanned the transition between amateur and professional rugby and I don't think his talents were fully rewarded.
"I can't recall hearing anybody saying anything negative about him and I was totally shattered when I heard the terrible news.
"My heart goes out to his wife and their two young children."
Logan added: "I played alongside 'Scnozz' both for Stirling County and Glasgow and he was a real fun guy.
"There aren't that many larger than life individuals in rugby in the professional era. He was one of them however."

The Mad Chefs Take!
From his blog, here is his recap from that morning:
EITM this morning was a blast. Elliot has the most intense stare and never seems to lose focus. Every time he looked my way I felt like an embarrassed little school child. Diane didn't touch the seafood, as I thought she wouldn't and is much more attractive in person then the pic on the DC101 site gives credit for! And FYI, Whitney is actually kinda hawt...for a DJ!For more on The Mad Chef of M Street visit his blog here.
Sister Hazel and Pat McGee couldn't be nicer. I got a few pics with them before I left and one of the band members actually interrupted Elliot before they started an acoustic set to give props to The Mad Chef of M Street for "the best food I've ever had in a studio." Overall it was a great experience with no issues and no tribulations. I can't wait to do it again.
Best Of...7/25 Recap!
Back in June 2008, Elliot participated in a hospital training drill that simulated a real-life emergency situation in a hospital. He sat in on a mock cesarean section in which the dummy patient caught fire due to a chemical used during the surgery. There's nothing like an open wound and a fire extinguisher!
If you've taken eight pregnancy tests and they all say you're pregnant, chances are you're pregnant. If at that point, you feel you want an abortion, whose the first person you call? Jen called Elliot...
Hi Dirty Slut!
A day after Elliot visited the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC, a listener identified as "Mr. Spy" called in to say he was a spy for the US government seeking to infiltrate China. Along with a fake German accent, he wasn't very covert and he couldn't even name China's ambassador to the US, Zhou Wenzhong (totally Googled that one)! Nevertheless, the spy finally revealed his American accent and even threw in a little French. Bon-ZURE!
Lastly, on May 29th, the band Filter appeared in-studio.
Their new album "Anthems for the Damned" is available online and in stores now!
Formula 1 Sex-scandal: Max Mosley Wins Civil Suit Against The News Of The World Publication
Mosley's legal team claimed the tabloid overstepped their boundaries illegally published private sexual material and wrongfully infused connotations that such S&M acts were Nazi themed.
In a statement issued by presiding Mr. Justice Eady, no reasonable evidence was found to support the publication's written accusations that Mosley's sexual activities were an "enactment of Nazi behaviour or adoption of any of its attitudes" or a mockery of Holocaust victims.
"I decided that the claimant had a reasonable expectation of privacy in relation to sexual activities -- albeit unconventional -- carried on between consenting adults on private property," Justice Eady stated.
Furthermore he writes: "There was bondage, beating and domination which seem to be typical of S&M behaviour. But there was no public interest or other justification for the clandestine recording, for the publication of the resulting information and still photographs, or for the placing of the video extracts on the News of the World website -- all of this on a massive scale."
Mosley was denied punitive exemplary damages and still maintains his sexual acts with five prostitutes was consensual and in no way Nazi themed.
News of the World editor Colin Myler adamantly stood by his newspaper staff and stated outside of court, "The News of the World will remain committed to fighting for its readers' right to know." Myler continued to say the story was of "legitimate public interest and one that I believe was legitimately published."
Prior to this court ruling, Mosley was given a majority vote of confidence by members of Formula 1's governing body, the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), to retain his position as president.

Best Of...7/24 Recap!
Intern Sam has a crush on fellow intern Heather. When Elliot found out, he called her to give her the scoop, and hopefully set the two of them up on a date. Unfortunately for Sam, Heather wasn't interested in anything more than just friends.
Down Syndrome Dolls are the latest craze in the UK! I love combing the doll's yarn hair!
Theresa called the show to let everyone know that Arnold Schwarzenegger was going to run for President. Instead, "Craig" called her a whore (among other things), she then started reading the bible, and revealed that when she was sixteen she killed her mother in a head-on collision with another car.
Meanwhile, Theresa's "sons" weren't happy with Elliot's mockery of her call and demanded an apology, to which Elliot obliged. Unfortunately, Theresa called him an asshole, and when Elliot called her out on it, she begged him for forgiveness.
Forgive me Elliot, Please!
Lastly, Rick Leventhal is a grown man. This is national!

Abby Wambach Expects To Return In Spring
The national team's leading scorer knew when she collided with a Brazilian player last Wednesday her leg was broken and she'd miss the Olympics.
"I looked down and my knee was pointing up and my foot was pointing in a little bit different direction," she said after her first physical therapy session Monday. It was her first major injury.
"Have I cried tears over it?" she said. "Yeah, this is a horrible accident and very bad timing. But I don't feel sorry for myself because this is what my life has shown me."
