North Korea has shaken up the geopolitical scene with its nuclear test. And they’re not stopping there. We take a look at a chilling announcement.
Announcer: “North Korea is on the march! Beware, imperialist dogs; not only does North Korea have nuclear weapons, we have also successfully produced atomic wings! Delicious spicy chicken wings so hot, they’ll destroy your aggressor taste buds.
North Korea: We Do Chicken Right!”

Suddenly, the camera shot of Dave drops to the floor. What’s the deal? What’s wrong with the camera? Dave asks our cameraman Dave Dorsett what’s the problem.
Dorsett: (picking up his bag and coat) “I’m going home.”
Dave: “Why?”
Dorsett: (looking around the theater) “Oh, sorry, it was so quiet in here I assumed the show was over.”

Because of the congressional sex scandal, political pundits have been speculating about Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert’s future. The Republican Party has issued this message to clarify the situation.
Announcer: “In the wake of the Mark Foley scandal, rumors have been circulating that Dennis Hastert will be asked to step down from his position as Speaker of the House. But the Republican Party wants America to know that we do not expect Hastert to step down. More likely, we will require a crane or perhaps some sore of industrial hoist to haul his fat ass out of the building.
The Republican Party: Going lean in 2006.”

DIDDY: the ever-cool Diddy makes a very hip entrance. Diddy is our neighbor, having his Bad Boy offices just up the road.
His new CD, “Press Play” is his first studio album in 5 years. What has he been up to in that time? He made a to-do list. On that list:
- run a marathon – (DING) did it
- star on Broadway – (DING) did it
- get kids to vote – (DING) did it
- become a fashion designer – (DING) did it
- one day he wanted to wear some cologne – didn’t have any – so he went into the fragrance business
And speaking of style and fashion, Diddy compliments Dave on his haircut. Dave thanks Diddy and explains that the first Thursday of every month he goes to Rikers Island for a prison cut.
Now he’s back into making music. Diddy tells Dave it’s safe to get back on the dance floor. And he’ll be back touring with his music.
Diddy always seems to be ahead of what’s happening . . . what’s he doing with the internet? He was a little behind this phenomena and when he heard everyone talking about their MySpace page, he decided to take a look into it. He liked what he saw and found it as a way to talk directly to his fans. He didn’t actually say it but I think he was likening it to the Wahoo Extra. He now has over 420,000 “friends” on MySpace. That’s where his MySpace and the Wahoo Extra splits. He wanted to be truthful and share everything with his friends. His very first blog included his going to the bathroom . . . and this is where his MySpace and the Wahoo Extra comes back together. We learn that Diddy is about to become a Daddy again . . . a Diddy Daddy. . . . this time to twin girls! This probably explains his plans to go back on tour.

NEIL PATRICK HARRIS: From the CBS hit show, How I Met Your Mother. This past weekend, Neil participated in Celebrity Jeopardy at Radio City Music Hall. It didn’t sound as if he fared too well. He was up against Bebe Neuwirth and everyone knows how smart Bebe can be be. How was that? Neil readily admits, “They dumb the questions down quite a bit” for the celebrities. To prepare, Neil Tivo’d the Kids Jeopardy earlier in the month. Neil says he didn’t do too well against the kids; he didn’t expect to do too well against the celebrities, either. Neil says it was good and bad being up against Bebe. It was bad because she was so smart. It was good because he knew she would buzz in before him, so he could pretend he knew the answer but simply wasn’t quick enough. Being right next to Bebe you could see his pretend “frustration.”
Paul played in the Celebrity Jeopardy too. The buzzer was always a problem. You have to wait for Alex to finish reading the answer/question and then there is a mad dash to ring in. First to ring in gets the honors. Who was Paul up against? Paul’s competition was Susan Lucci and Scott Turow.
In his spare time, Neil likes to dabble in magic. He shows off one of his new tricks. He reaches over to Dave’s microphone to do something but receives a big shock. He wasn’t expecting that at all. Dave has a trick he’s been practicing. He delights us with his secret talent by making himself disappear. Just like that, Dave disappears into thin air. (I had a lot of date who could do that.) And then just like that, he returns. (My dates didn’t.)
How I Met Your Mother is now on Monday nights on CBS at the new time of 8:00 PM. Wow! It kicks off the CBS week and Comedy Monday! The creators of the show, Craig Thomas and Carter Bays, are former writers of the LATE SHOW. It’s good to see their success.
And why don’t you check out “Barney’s Blog” on the How I Met Your Mother site on the CBS website. It’s not quite the Wahoo Extra, but it’s a very entertaining attempt.

WILL IT FLOAT?: Tonight’s item: a 19 ounce can of Beef Barley Chunky Soup.
Dave: “Sink”
Paul: “Float.”
The LATE SHOW models drop the "Will It Float?" item into the "Will It Float?" tank and it . . . .. SINKS! Dave is right! And that always makes for a much more festive "Will It Float?" Post-Party.

ACT 5: It’s Alan Kalter enjoying a cylinder of delicious Pringles. And he’s getting paid to do it! Some people have all the luck.

DIDDY: From his new CD, “Press Play,” his first studio album in 5 years, Diddy performs a medley of “Come To Me”, “I Am”, and “Africa.”

And that was our show for Friday, October 13, 2006. Wahoo EXTRA!

This weekend my daughters’ soccer game will be played under Silent Soccer Rules. Silent Soccer takes place once a year. What’s Silent Soccer? Coaches, fans, and parents are not allowed to say a word during the game; no cheering, no booing, no offering encouragement. Those watching are there for one reason: to watch.
This is how it is explained on their soccer rule book.

“On the topic of good sportsmanship, it is appropriate that next weekend October 14 & 15 OMM practices Silent Soccer. Silent Soccer started in the Midwest several years ago and quickly spread. The goals for Silent Soccer are simple:
- To help develop our players' thinking and creative ability to make - decisions on the field without constant sideline intervention.
- To improve the players' ability to communicate with each other on the field by reducing the outside noise level.
- To support referees by eliminating all sideline dissension and intervention.
- To reinforce to all of us, that the reason we are here is for the players to have fun, and while positive spectator encouragement is very important, it is their game, not ours.”

I received this E-Mail from Wahoo reader David Alexander regarding the Guinness World Record of 121 T-Shirts worn by Matt McAllister on Thursday night:

“I'm little unclear as to what exactly happened on Letterman last night, perhaps one of y’all can fill in the former record holders. We set the record at 121, not 120, and even if you did fork up to have a Guinness adjudicator present there, even a cursory reading of the official Guinness rules would indicate that they weren't followed, as evidenced by the attached picture. Not to be nit picky, but they were a pain in the ass for us to follow, so do tell, are we wrong? And assuming we are wrong and somehow that doesn't violate the rules from the Record Breakers Pack, didn't you just tie us at 121? Matt, care to fill us in?”

Want photos of David setting the “record”?

And I found this in the Wikipedia:

“The record, as listed in the Guinness Book of World Records, for Most T-Shirts worn was broken on July 29, 2006 by David Alexander, an Atlanta native commonly called "Dazz" by his friends. Dazz managed to wear 121 T-shirts breaking the old record of 107 that was set in the UK last year.”
