The Lost Show



New excitement:
  • conflict between a new guest, Preston, and Shawn (seems to be a recurring theme)
  • impersonation (of Shawn!)
  • news of the collision of a US Airways plane and a flock of Canada Geese (thanks to Jaxelplax, a faithful listener who pointed out that they are not Canadian Geese, for they do not have maple leaves painted on them... as if the people of Canada, the true Canadians, do... anyway she's an English major... don't mess!)
  • weather forecast: sunny and sunnier until it hits the 70's! *disco*
Songs played:
  • Umbrella, covered by All Time Low, an Indie Punk band hailing from Luthervill Timonium, Maryland
  • Details in the Fabric, a collaboration between two musical heartthrobs, Jason Mraz (known for "I'm Yours" and James Morrison, a UK artist known for "You Give Me Something"
Guests:
  • K Squared and Shawn as hosts
  • Preston as a new guest! Great impersonator of Shawn, hates road construction, loves words...
Definition of Original Antigenic Sin, according to the American Society for Microbiology:

ORIGINAL ANTIGENIC SIN: Original antigenic sin occurs when the antibodies produced by the body's immune system to fight exposure to the flu virus become part of the body's "memory" so that it can fight off future exposure the same flu strain. The problem is that those same antibodies end up suppressing the creation of new antibodies when the body is exposed to a new strain of the flu, making last year's flu vaccine ineffective against the newer strain. The phenomenon has also been observed in dengue fever and HIV, among other viruses.

Too Legit to Quit


K Waves is too legit to quit! Welcome to a new semester and the radio show that Roxy the Manager says, "Makes my weekend complete!" This is the show featuring K Squared and of course, Shawn, the "host buddy" that is simply "quite hilarious" according to a listener based in LA and Shanghai who calls this show some "good stuff!"

Thank you to the guests this week:
  • Muscles, who drinks protein shakes, eats spleens, crushes cars, eats conundrums with mashed potatoes, and believes going green is manly! First time guest, may visit again!
  • Marie Diodara, the voice of reason... until she makes a machine gun sound byte for the ages! But it's ok, her valient efforts to get the lights back on will cause her to be forever commended on the show...
  • Mr. Cellophane, a silent guest, who contributed to the music selection with The Fratellis
  • Crouton, the other silent guest, who contributed some laugh tracks to the show
  • Jaxelplax, the informative listener and caller who let us know that the show wasn't broadcasting on the dorm TVs here at Pepperdine... but good thing we have it online!
  • ...and of course, SHAWN! Awesome and optimistic, he is the expert of the on-air phones.
Music played:
  • Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis; Scottish alternative band; http://www.thefratellis.com/; recommended by Mr. Cellophane
  • Take Me to the Riot by Stars; indie band based on Montreal, CA; genre: melodramatic popular song; http://www.sadrobots.ca/; put on by K Squared

Did you know (ALERT! RADIO SHOW SPOILERS!):
  • Santa Clauses were in high demand in Berlin, Germany
  • Voluptuous is not a manly word
  • K Squared Radio is like the TV series, The Hills
  • Spleens are vacuums (but not according to a friend of K Squared Radio, who informs us that they are used to hold excess blood)
