August 24, 2009

KEVIN: Hey Deb, it's Kevin.
DEB: (sigh) What is it, Kevin? Is it about the REPORTERS? I didn't talk to anyone...

KEVIN: No, I know, it's not about that. How's Teddy?
DEB: Your SON is fine. He didn't talk to them either.

KEVIN: No, no, I know... I... you know, I MISS him. I MISS you guys.

Popularity rank 37 #210. Teaching a rock star to Twitter

February 13, 2009

TONY THE AGENT: So you just text or IM your updates to your Twitter account, and fans follow it so they can experience your day-to-day life.

TONY THE AGENT: I've been running it, but I think you should take it over now.
TONY THE AGENT: Seems easy enough... Oh SHIT. This kid... I KNOW this kid.

TONY THE AGENT: Christ, how'm I supposed to tell this kid I screwed his mom backstage at our show in Billings?

TONY THE AGENT: Well, you use the @ symbol, and then his username...
TONY THE AGENT: Oh, OK. This IS easy...

Popularity rank 38 #208. Lowering ticket prices

February 11, 2009

GORDON CRANWICK: Lower ticket prices DEVALUE us! I don't care what TAYLOR SWIFT is doing!
PETER WELD: It'll sell more tickets AND make us look charitable.

KEVIN EDO: Seems like a win/win, Gordon.
GORDON CRANWICK: It's a slippery SLOPE, Kevin!
PETER WELD: Now... point #2, our CD prices...

GORDON CRANWICK: Oh, NO WAY, Peter! I will not be BANISHED to the GHETTO of the BARGAIN BIN!!
PETER WELD: Look, it's another win/win...

GORDON CRANWICK: I will DIE I am BOUGHT and SOLD at the "NICE PRICE"!
PETER WELD: We'll make more money AND still be respected! Ask Incubus!

Popularity rank 39 #206. The fat thing

February 4, 2009

KEVIN EDO: What statement would I even MAKE?
ANTHONY THE AGENT: Well, Lachey sorta condemned the press for covering the fat thing at ALL, and you were involved with her, TOO, so...

KEVIN EDO: Yeah, but she DOES look fat, OK, Tony? No. No statement. Jessica's fat, Britney's batshit and Kirsten Dunst's teeth look like Ground Zero wreckage. And this is all news to NO ONE.

SOUND: click slurp

ANTHONY THE AGENT: Mark? Quote Kevin as saying, "It's just more of her to love." Oh, he'd love to be on Extra! "Every Morning" he'll come on your show! Ha ha, OK...

Popularity rank 40 #205. Bonnaroo 2009 poster

February 3, 2009

KEVIN EDO: Did you see this fucking BONNAROO POSTER? We're in fucking 14pt, man!
TONY THE AGENT: Looks... the same as other bands.

KEVIN EDO: NO, Springsteen, Phish, and fucking NIN are 14.25pt, but we're down in 14pt with the God damned STEERAGE! We're the same damned font as God damned GOMEZ, Tony!

A pause.

TONY THE AGENT: You can eyeball a .25pt font difference?
KEVIN EDO: I took a typography class in Junior College!!!
