FDH Lounge Show #28: May 11, 2008

By Rick Morris

When FDH Enterprises, LLC Managing Partner Rick Morris celebrates his birthday on the 28^th edition of THE FDH LOUNGE (Sunday night, 8-11 PM EDT on SportsTalkNetwork.com), the birthday party will light up the entire Lounge!

In Hour One, Rick and the Dignitaries dissect the apparent final stages of the Democratic primary process in the wake of Obama’s very successful Tuesday. But Hillary’s not getting the message that this race is over. Many frustrated Democrats are starting to see her, in the immortal words of Wayne and Garth, as a “psycho hose beast.” Is Hillary looking like the ex-girlfriend from Hades right now? We’ll examine. Also, we preview a summer event in the Lounge, something which we’d guess Hillary might not qualify for: a spin-off of our wildly popular “Fantasy I’d Hit That Draft,” namely our “MILF/Cougar” edition (women over 40 being the only ones to qualify for this).

In Hour Two, we consult with one of our Lounge Dignitaries, FDH horse racing analyst Bob Glassman for a look at the triumph and tragedy of this past Kentucky Derby and a glance ahead to whether Big Brown could become the first Triple Crown winner in 30 years. Then, we examine the topic of a forthcoming column here on the blog by Rick, namely the “Lebron Derangement Syndrome.” Because of the otherworldly hype that has surrounded him since his junior year of high school seven seasons ago, he is viewed in a way, positively and negatively, that is more detached from reality than perhaps any athlete ever. We’ll discuss this in some detail.

Then, later in Hour Two and into the final hour, we segue into a birthday roast of sorts for Rick as the voting commences for “The Worst of the Worst of Rick’s Ipod.” We have drawn up four brackets and we’ll vote on the songs deemed the absolutely least redeeming out of the more than one thousand on Rick’s device.

If you must know the songs in each category, and we suspect that you must, here are the brackets of doom:
