LOOK INTO MY SUNGLASSES AND YOU CAN SEE THE FUTURE!
It's on this music video set that we're introduced to the band's DJ, Skeet Skeet. It was not until I was researching this guy that I realized that was his name. See how on the show's font, it looks like Sheet Sheet? I thought it was a dumb name. But I guess I don't think Skeet Skeet's much better.
ONE SHEET'S FITTED AND THE OTHER ONE'S THE NORMAL KIND. HOLLAH
Everything's going well and the gang takes a minute to relax and talk about their upcoming Super Bowl weekend plans. They are playing 7 shows in 3 days, and this is meant to be the big debut of Shwayze.
But then Shwayze remembers, "Oh yeah, I have a court date on Monday, so I have to be back by 8 a.m."
"But we have a show Sunday night."
"Uhh..."
When asked what he's gotta go to court for, Shwayze begins with the highly suspicious, "It's just...drama." Seems "they thought" he was making fake IDs.
I ALWAYS LOOK LIKE I'M LYING WHEN I'M TELLING THE TRUTH
Manager Warren wonders why Shwayze has yet to inform his manager, Jordan, about this court day. Woah woah, back it up, Warren. I thought you were the manager?
"No I just separate the giraffes. Remember? Jordan owns the record label."
Oh I see now. Well then I agree Shwayze should probably fess up. But he really wants to keep it quiet, so now he's just got to come up with a brilliant plan to be in two places- the concert in Phoenix and at home in Malibu- at once. It's like a wacky episode of Full House or something.
Jordan and his record label sidekick, David Patton, drop by to see how the video shoot is going and to stress just how big this upcoming weekend will be for Shwayze's budding career.
IT WOULD BE MOST UNFORTUNATE IF YOU WERE TO, SAY, SKIP YOUR MEETING WITH THE SPONSORS TO GO TO A COURT DATE.
There's a good deal of corporate businessy talk here, and possibly some critical plot points, but I could not for the life of me pay attention while Cisco's boots were in the scene.
Just look at them!
INEXCUSABLE
For goodness sake. Where did he even find my old snow boots from the winter of '87 and how did he ever squeeze his feet into a 5 year old's size?
Once the music video shoot wraps, the gang's all like, "Well, now what should we do?" "Uh, I guess we can all hang out again."
And so they all sit around in Cisco's living room while Warren plays with like 3 small dogs that appear out of nowhere and jump all over his lap. But he won't be distracted by the tiny pooches, he's got bigger things on his mind: What the eff is Shwayze going to do about the approaching court date?
Suddenly Cisco comes up with a brilliant plan.
WHY DON'T WE USE OUR PRETEND PHONES TO ORDER A PIZZA?
Actually Cisco suggests that Shwayze get a lawyer to appear in court on his behalf and get your court date moved.
And in the next scene, Shawyze meets the attorney who is going to save his life/Super Bowl Weekend.
PSST...I HEAR YOU CAN MOVE MY COURT DATE.
OH GOD, DID CISCO TELL YOU THAT? WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT GUY?
Turns out that this whole court date switcheroo is not as easy as he'd thought. The lawyer says he'll see if there's anything he can do but he doesn't seem hopeful.
Poor Shwayze just can not get a break! First he has to grow up in a trailer park, then he's wrongfully accused, and now this. Good thing he's about to go on a kickass trip to Phoenix. That oughta take his mind off things.
The boyz are going to stay in a house that their record label booked for them. But before you think things are finally looking up for ol' Shwayze, they take another nasty turn. Shortly after they land at the Phoenix airport, they are shocked to learn that their accommodations are miles from their concert venues. Unbelievable! You mean he'll have to sit there in the backseat of a Hummer, sipping a capri sun while someone drives him to and from his shows? The hard knock life, indeed.
MY TWO MANAGERS ARE GONNA HAVE HELL TO PAY
Once they arrive at their rented house, they deem it worthy of not being bitched about for the next 3 days. So they settle in, Rock Paper Scissors for the best rooms, and then it's time to get off to their first show. And Jordan reminds them they better impress the sponsors!

Man, I should have videotaped me and my buddies getting stoned back in the day. We could have sold our stuff to MTV and shown ourselves as the complete idiots we were on international television too.
Wait...they didn't have MTV back then. Didn't even have (affordable) video cameras.
Another reason to celebrate being older.

I have zero plans to actually watch this show, but hilarious recap :) Will definitely look forward to next week ...
(sorry MTV thats officially the closest I'll get to anything associated with ugly balls on the internet!) :)
I think I'm actually a fan of DJ Sheet Sheet ... now that guy, Skeet Skeet, not so much

If I buy the gun, the ammo, and notarize the document saying it's alright to shoot me on site, will someone put me out of my misery for know this information. But didn't that Cisco guy once date Mischa Barton and have really big nipples and/or testicles? Or something of that nature. Am I the only one who remembers that? Bless my heart

At first I thought the DJ's name was DJ Skeet Skeet, and I was like that's not a good name to have. Anyone that doesn't know what that means needs to look it up.
This show is definately not as funny as Rob & Big. I wish MTV would pay me to get stoned out with my friend and then videotape it.

It looks like filth is still fun for some people... and Jesus-hair NEVER goes out of style (just ask Jesus!).
Maybe the DJ's name was really DJ Cheat Sheet, or DJ Cliff's Notes or DJ Dum Dum... what's a Skeet, and why does it repeet?
Ugh, please someone tell me the next time these guys are in town, I want to leave first.
love, J-Mo :)

To Skeet Skeet means to ejaculate on someone. That's why I was so worried that his name was DJ Skeet Skeet, but it's DJ Sheet Sheet.
As a DJ, he should've known better to name him something so close to skeet skeet, hopefully this will helpful to anyone who wanted to know what skeet skeet meant.
