For the next 2 hours I am going to count the number (and hopefully type) of drop in sounds played during Murphs show. I've always wondered how many he'll do on a given day and today I vow to solve this grand mystery. I'll be back with my exclusive investigative report...

Commercial break right now. Man, this is painful. Not only do I have to listen to this crap show but my hands are hurting from so much typing as these drops keep coming in. Can't wait for 2:00...

Why has Murph been playing the same background music non-stop? It sounds like some 1970's Italian music that would play with some pasta commercial. Hawkeye, I hope you're having fun.

I don't know why, but this has been the most painful 1 hour and 7 minutes of my life so far.

You don't know why? I know EXACTLY why. But, to use a quote from Fight Club- "You chose your own level of involvement"

Murph is the only person in the world that could make this Barry Bonds story boring as hell.

And what is up with him playing his own music during Bloomberg's update?

Murph is one geeky nerd.

12:24-Quirky "computer typing" music drop before Tweeter commercial
12:26-"Curb Your Enthusiasm" theme song
12:26-Strange "zipping sound"
12:28-First "Rimshot" drop of the day. I'm surprised it took so long...
12:28-Second "Rimshot" drop, and in the SAME MINUTE.
12:28-"Bud Selig Declined To Talk To Us" drop. 3 drops in the same minute.
12:29-Strange "zipping sound" again (Curb music also starts playing again)

12:33-Strange "zipping sound" again
12:37-Hawk yelling "Yyyyeeess" drop
12:38-Dusty "I don't like Booing Period" drop (Curb music ends as we exit for a commercial break starting with "MY GUYS" at JDS)
12:45-Back from commercial and Curb music begins again...
12:53-Curb music ends with another exit to commercial
1:01-Some "apologize when I didn't do anything wrong" drop between commercial breaks. Back to commercials now.
1:05-A Barry Bonds interview drop "apologize when wrong" thing coming out of commercial

1:17-Rock solo ends as we go out to commercial
1:17-"You guys wanted to hurt me" Bonds drop right before commercials
1:23-"I don't know what cheating is..." Bonds drop. Rock music starts and stops
1:23-Rim shot drop plays right after Bonds quote
1:23-Rock music still playing in background as Bonds discussion continues
1:25-Rim shot drop
1:25-Andy the Clown drop and we finally get to some callers for the first time in the show
1:32-After 2 callers we're back to an update (with rock music now being played in the background again of course) Hooray!!!
1:34-Back to Murph and James Bond music starts AGAIN
1:40-After a caller, we're back to commercial-James Bond music stops
1:40-After gay clapping, have Hawk drop saying "YYYEESSS"
1:40-After Hawk, another Bonds drop saying something unintelligible
1:47-Back from commercial
1:47-Another Bonds quote
1:47-Rolling Stones starts playing in background
1:53-"Bud Selig Declined to Talk to Us" drop (Music STILL being played in the background)
1:54-Background music changes to Led Zeppelin right away and we're back to commercial
The show ends with the typical song and I want to shoot myself now. Why did I decide to do this in the first place? Oh well, enjoy...

LMFAO!

Wow... and from what I've heard, this is pretty dead on too. Great job Hawkeye. I dunno why you'd put yourself through this, when totally unnecessary, but still great for a laugh, never the less.

and the really frightening part is that I didn't see any entries for "the Ethel Merman show will not be heard..." "Bing Crosby guest starring Al Jolson..." "Rock Island Line" "If I had a Hammer" "Rawhide" "Mooooooo" or "White Sox Polka" today :shock:

...And besides, you've been assigned to keep a running tally of North's malaprops from 6-10 AM tomorrow. :shock:

Now get some rest and keep up the good work!

hawkeye that was incredible! LOL! :lol:

Not having heard the show myself, I can now say I missed a lot, but missed a little!

Actually I did hear a few minutes of the show, and I thought I heard him say What's Your Beef was coming up. Didn't happen? Or maybe he was talking about tomorrow? 45 minutes of Don't try to understand em, just rope, throw and brand em!

Do it again tomorrow hawkeye!

Alright, I'll do it again today but I'm still really hurting from yesterday. It was physically and mentally draining having to actually pay attention to Murph. Maybe I'll just do the first hour this time.
