After spending last week's episode visiting every radio station on the east coast, Shwayze and the boyz are back in home town L.A. And we join them this week as they make yet another radio station appearance. They're promoting their upcoming performance at Wango Tango, a giant concert with a catchy name.
I've noticed that whenever the boyz sit down for an interview, there are only a few topics they can discuss. Topic 1: The first single, "Buzzin." Topic 2: The fabulous young Hollywood lifestyle the boyz lead. Topic 3: Shwayze's atypical background as a black guy who grew up in Malibu's only trailer park.
And today, they're discussing Topic 3. The DJ begins, "So you're the only black guy in Malibu. That's hilarious." I don't know that I'd classify it as traditionally hilarious. It's more like...I don't know...a fact?
IT'S FUNNY, BUT NOT FUNNY HA-HA.
As they walk out of the station, the boyz whip out their Flip cam to take some lousy video of their uneventful exit. They also talk about their upcoming Wango Tango show. Cisco says "We'll be playing in between Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers." Warren responds with "Isn't it illegal for you to go between Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers?"
Kind of a stretch for a pedophile joke, but Cisco doesn't miss a beat as he comes back with "No, it's consensual."
Takes one to know one, I guess. By which I mean takes a good pedophilia joke teller to know a good pedophilia joke teller.
YEAH, WE WENT THERE.
Later, on their way to an out of town radio show appearance, the boyz are in the backseat of the Party Van, hassling Chris, the record label guy behind the wheel, about his sense of direction. They're convinced he's lost; he knows they don't know nothing. "I will bet you anything that you are lost," Warren offers, so sure that he is right. Cisco seconds the motion with, "I sense a challenge."
"Okay," says Chris. "Loser has to jump in the pool naked."
Woah woah woah. Now you're really steering everyone into weird territory, Chris. I have some questions. Why was this your first suggestion for the loser of the bet? Why not the classic "owes me a coke?" Or I guess "owes me a beer" is more your speed. How long have you been trying to see Warren naked? And, lastly, what pool?
SOME PEOPLE WAIT A LIFETIME FOR A MOMENT LIKE THIS.
When Chris finally delivers the boyz to the hotel, he and Cisco are way too ready to make Warren do as he's promised. So ready, in fact, that they can't even wait until they find a pool on hotel grounds. Instead, they pull the Party Van over when they reach a duck and flamingo pond by the entrance.
THE REAL VICTIMS
Hurrying before they get caught, Warren climbs into the murky, shallow waters. Because, apparently, a stipulation of the bet is that he must be completely submerged, he squats down to get his head wet. Eep! Keep your mouth and eyes closed! He then rushes to get back out. Done and done.
A LITTLE SALMONELLA NEVER HURT NO ONE NO HOW.
Next up in the episode, we're treated to a touring montage with clips of the boyz visiting stations in Seattle and Phoenix. There is footage of them shirtless on stage. Shots of dancing hussies. Shots of them sleeping on planes, trains, and automobiles. But the highlight of this whole interlude is when Warren gets friendly with one radio station's mascot.
JUST SO DESPERATE FOR A HUG
The giant dog licks and climbs all over Warren, prompting Cisco to tease, "That's the hottest girl he's been with all week." Oh hardy har har.
Just when the boyz think they've made their last appearance and can finally get back to L.A. for some rest, Jordan calls and tells them he's booked another appearance in Portland.
ALRIGHT, WE'LL DO IT. BUT YOU'LL NEED TO SEND US MORE STUPID SUNGLASSES.
They're all bummed out that they need to drag themselves to yet another interview, but they manage to pull themselves together, show up at the station, and run through the usual 3 topics. In the clip from the Portland experience, the DJ brings up Topic 2: The fabulous young Hollywood lifestyle the boyz lead. He asks, "So is your life really like it is in your videos, with girls everywhere?" Cisco chimes in with, "No, it's better."
Really? Because your life kind of looks like it's exhausting and lame right now. And I've seen no girls anywhere.
But that's about to change in the upcoming scene.
