The Fantoo Girls are holed up in the elaborate recording studio preparing for the Grand Extravaganza that will be part of our 200th episode. And we want all of our listeners to be part of the soiree. We’ll be dipping back into the archives to pull some beauties from shows past and are hoping you’ll help by sending in your favorite segments. Jay, Producer to The Girls, will be in-studio for the fete and swears he’s going to create audio gold…which is a euphemism for super funny podcast.

Speaking of euphemisms, you will get a kick out of this week’s episode. Check it. We’re still laughing.

What about me? I’m a hostess, too!

Euphemisms, Heismans and Easy Toning With The Girls!

Episode 195

You know how CC Sabathia calls himself an ‘athlete’? Or when a Match.com ad describes someone as ‘full figured’? Or even when your really nice brother’s best friend is both ‘vertically AND follically challenged’? Those are euphemisms. And that is what we have when we call the Rachel Uchitels of the world a ‘hostess’. The same kind of ‘hostess’ that is a well-endowed Tennessee undergrad, traveling to HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL games, because she really, really cares if ‘John Smith’ from ‘Eastern Kazootie High School’ attends her beloved Tennessee. Ah, youth. Ah, ‘hostesses’. We know Lane Kiffin is behind this somehow.

College football greets the end of the season and the transition to the Bowl season with, yes, a month off. Nothing like playing every weekend and then…a month off. At least we have Charlie Weis and the Heisman watch to keep us entertained in the meantime. And Tracy asked, so we tell you, how the Heisman is actually decided. It’s kind of like a homecoming king - only this will make him more money.

Seriously, we would not mess with these ladies.

You know we’re talking ‘bout Tiger - and Carol puts a decidedly Scandinavian and steroidal spin on the ‘affair’. Over in the NHL, hockey players cement their status as tough guys on and off the ice - and they don’t even have to stay at a Holiday Inn Express to get it done. Our man, Martin Brodeur puts himself above all others as net minder - will anyone ever catch him? Ever? Even when the league has 1,000 games per season? We think not.

I’m going for a more youthful look. You likey?

Greg Oden is at it again. Poor Grampa, we mean Greg. Will his injuries ever end? Iverson is back in Philly - the team with absolutely nothing to lose. He makes a statement to the team that it will be just like old times, and therefore shows up late to his first game back. We still love him.

The NFL had a schizophrenic weekend. What, with the Pats sliding out from Belichick’s white knuckles and off the road to the Raiders beating Pittsburgh on Heinz Field. It almost makes you wan to yell ANYTHING IS POSSIBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALE!!! Almost. Really, though, it was a strange weekend with exception of Dallas starting their December slide right on cue. Did anyone think that the Saints would have to come from behind against the Redskins? (Don’t answer that, Al Michaels).

Remember how cheap the Good Ol’ Days were?

Coming up, can’t-miss showdowns this weekend: Giants-Eagles, Bengals-Vikings and the ever-popular Browns-Steelers. Ask yourself, have the Steelers hit rock bottom? The answer awaits this Thursday. And in this week’s It Has To Be Said, we call Reebok to the mat for calling us stupid. So grab you ‘hostess’ and your ‘cold one’ and get ready to ‘swing for the cheap seats’ with The Girls!
