Let's Do The News! (August 25, 2013)

Richard: And now the news and oh! Big news because...Hey! Is anyone of you coming to Luneta tomorrow for some bloodlust of a protest?

(audience laughing)

Jeremy: If by mean bloodlust, you mean there's a protest going on somewhere in Luneta. What is it?

James: Well, it's a protest against the government's misuse over the "pork barrel" or PDAF. As I heard, thanks to some Facebook post, people will be at Luneta by 9:00AM Philippine Standard Time. Rain or shine, I think those who come here are protesting against the PDAF...for the hell of it.

(audience laughing)

Richard: Yeah, who would want to get themselves by the long arm of the law, even water cannons and riot shields cops are using against the protesters?

James: Or what about Typhoon Nando? There was a new typhoon approaching in the Philippines and do you think this will hamper the protest?

Jeremy: Rain or shine, with or without typhoon, it's still a bloodbath in Luneta. I'd expect that it's going to be a mess by the time the protest worsens.

(audience laughing)

Jeremy: Seriously, yes. It does get worsen.

Richard: Okay...That's a big warning, I'll give you that. So um...do you wish that the pork barrel must be scrapped for ever?

Jeremy: Well for me, yes. It must be scrapped. Reason why because this whole PDAF kept falling to the wrong hands, even Napoles, who was still hunted by the government for this scandal. Think about it, if PDAF has to be used well, the Philippines will have more schools, more equipment for the cops, more disaster-reducing equipment, more houses, everything to keep the Philippines upfloat but what just happened? The pork barrel was abused for the wrong reasons and if that keeps on happening, corruption will spell doom to the Philippines. (sigh)

James: Interesting idea, though. Maybe the pork barrel needs to be scrapped so the government needs to focus on the citizens' concern first than anything else. Think about it, people payed their taxes every year and what just happened? Instead of spending it for the good, they just spend it for the hell of it! No wonder one part of the Inferno book mentioned one part of the Philippines as "gates of hell".

(audience laughing)

Richard: Maybe the Philippines DO becoming the "gates of hell". The Inferno book was right! It is! Very!

(audience laughing)

Jeremy: Now, Motor Trend held the 3rd episode of The World's Greatest Drag Race as part of this year's BEST DRIVER'S CAR. Surprisingly though, it seems that Nissan's always a regular to this one. In the first one, the GT-R wins against the best of supercars. Then on the second one, the GT-R got beaten by the Lamborghini Aventador. Now, it's back for the third time and this time, it's the "For Track Pack" we're talking.

James: "For Track Pack". What is it?

Jeremy: Stripped out version of the GT-R. Numerous improvements, Spec V-style wheels, loss of rear seats, everything that makes this GT-R live to its name. Anyway, here's the clip...



(cheers and applause)

Jeremy: Nissan's done it, again! This time it's the Datsun!

Richard: Yeah. It seems it always love beating down supercars five times its price! What a bargain!

Jeremy: More like a bargaining chip to us. Now as this unfolds, I'd expect that future NISMO version's going to be a lot better than that and...we're not talking about that for a while...

(audience laughing)

Richard: Why?

Jeremy: I'm seeing...RC Cola stuff around here.

(audience laughing)

James: What? Oh...An RC Cola mahcine.

(audience laughing)

Jeremy: Oh, has anyone seen a clip from YouTube about a man proposing a woman at the mall and then she smacks him with a guitar?

(yes!)

Richard: Well, I do. And I kept laughing so hard by the moment I start up my computer! (laughing)

(audience laughing)

Richard: Well, that's gotta hurt. Proposing to a woman and then got disturbed by a crossing train at the mall and later got smacked by a guitar? Ouch. More like...PROPOSAL FAIL.

(audience laughing)

James: Well that was one gigantic failure for a proposal. I'll give you that. And poor him. His heart's got a big honkin hole forever ever since the girl he's proposing at smacked him with the guitar. Hope he's okay but sadly, he's already the laughing stock of the internet.

Richard: Laughing stock indeed. Guess this man's gonna hide himself in shame right now with bandages on head.

(audience laughing)

Richard: Oh hey! I just got a word that 2K Games, the company behind the Borderlands franchise, the Bioshock franchise, XCOM, NBA 2K, and others, just announced a mobile racing game called 2KDRIVE

Jeremy: 2KDRIVE? What is 2KDRIVE?

Richard: Well, it's a brand new mobile racing game for the iPhone and iPad and it's developed by a new company from UK called Lucid Games. Lucid Games is a boutique studio made by the creators of Project Gotham Racing and Blur and this is just one of the few developers you'd never heard of...but still, here's the clip for 2KDRIVE.



(cheers and applause)

Richard: Impressive!

Jeremy: Yeah. That is very impressive. Anyway, that is the end of the news, folks! Hey! You still have the whole HOW CUTE IS YOUR CHARACTER segment coming up so...you've already tackled Mog from Final Fantasy, Adipose from Doctor Who, BMO from Adventure Time, and Mokona from Tsubasa which surprisingly, Mokona's tied with BMO in the Cuteness Ranker.

James: Yeah, and I can't believe it feels like Mokona cheated at our third test because Mokona's eyes remained closed.

(audience laughing)

Jeremy: So, for the preview of the next HOW CUTE IS YOUR CHARACTER segment, who's gonna be and will this...mystery cute character beat BMO's ranking?

James: Wait wait wait...Don't you mean both BMO and Mokona's?

Jeremy: Well, BMO had higher scores in the 1st and 2nd tests than Mokona's but Mokona's higher in our third test than BMO's even if it was cheating.

James: Oh...Okay...BMO's.

Jeremy: Like I was saying, who was this mystery cute character gonna be and will it beat BMO's score?

Richard: Well, as for now, I don't really know who and I'm not spilling the details who will be the next cute character to take on our challenge but I do have a clue...

Jeremy: What clue?

Richard: Ahem...(mimicking a little boy's voice) SUGAR PEAS!

James: Drop 'em!

Richard: Okay!

(audience laughing)

Richard: There's your clue and I had to say that this cute character wants to be neck-and-neck against BMO and I reckoned...It could beat or tie BMO by a margin. Anyway, check in tomorrow and find out.
