3-30-00: It's 3:51a.m. EST and it's time for Nightshift again. Or is it "Niteshift again"? I pray that it's the former because that Miller Lite/Diet Rite/Nick at Nite intentional misspelling thing is ridiculous. No matter how you spell it, it's still someone's favorite show! hosts this week are Make Sargent and Byron Saunders from the 'BAI studio and from the other side, Gabrielle "At Least The Racists Are Honest" Gabrielle.

The show opens with Gabby announcing that the GGCC was now a live streaming cam (you know, like stvlive.com). Mike and Byron rave about the upgrade, but it doesn't take long for them and everyone in the chat room to learn the awful truth. Aside from the occasional burst of fluidity, streaming Gabrielle didn't look that much different from reFreshing Gabrielle.  Gabrielle goes over last week's visit from Blast! Films, spitting a little 1997 street talk in the process. Read last week's Gab Session for the details. Bases are touched, food is chewed, and the hosts jump right into....

Segment One: Life Is (Like) Science Fiction/Open Phone Lines

I should have known something was up when they did this first.

Highlights:

-Mike drinks essence of man. I don't even want to know.

-The loop that opens "Six Underground" is sampled from the "Goldfinger" soundtrack

-A Brazilian beer brewer files (and wins) a lawsuit against his boss claiming that twenty years of tasting suds made him a alcoholic.

-French police catch a man trying to sneak through customs with a 16-inch boa in his pants.

-2/3 of the human genome has been mapped

-Gab contributes a tale of a Japanese woman who has became a cult icon because she pronounced the word  'fence' in an unusual way.

-Gabrielle agrees with John Rocker's sentiment that Major League Baseball opened it's regular season in Japan for commercial reasons(!). Professional sports motivated by money? Never.  She proceeds to sink further into the pro-Rocker abyss, dropping the pearl of wisdom printed above.  Considering the turn that the show took afterward, I'm surprised that the two angry black men didn't take her to task for that comment.

Segment Two: An unedited recording of the on-air assault of Errol Maitlin at the Dorismond funeral procession is played leading to a long, sprited discussion about race, gender and cops. Gab goes into anaphylactic shock for about thirty. It was drastic change of pace, but considering the state of affairs in NYC right now, it had to be done.

Epinephrine Segment : Nothing particularly interesting happens in the last twenty minutes, unless you like counting the number of times (4) someone got on the air and cursed.
