Dog Day Afternoon

ON TUESDAY, Oct. 12, the 2 Live Stews had a full plate of Atlanta sports topics for their midafternoon show. The previous night, the Braves had been eliminated from the playoffs by the Houston Astros. On the Sunday before, the Falcons had suffered their first loss of the season, 17-10 to the Detroit Lions. And the Stews' "everyday topic"--the issue of the day--was, Did Braves shortstop Rafael Furcal (DUI) and Baltimore Ravens running back Jamal Lewis (drug bust) get special treatment when they were allowed to postpone their respective prison sentences? Meanwhile, the Stews also found a way to employ a term--"smuck"--that they coined to avert the wrath of the FCC.

Ryan: 404-233-7979. Blasting calls is what we do, sir.

Doug: (Barking.)

R: Let's talk to my man St. Louis Rhon; he's Triple Platinum.... St. Louis Rhon--what you got?

St. Louis Rhon: What up, Stews?

Stews: What up, baby?

SLR: Big ups to the dogs and the poodles.... Hey, man, as the unofficial Number 1 fan for the Cardinals here, I'm kind of disappointed in the Braves because now I'm deprived of getting a home run ball off the bat of Albert Pujols. Hold on, hold on, hold on. (Shouting an aside.) Kindell, keep your eyes on the road! Hey, man, it's a struggle trying to teach this girl to drive. I had to unhook the horn because you know kids like the horn.

D: She's seven, St. Louis.

SLR: She's six ... nooo, she's three.

(Stews laugh.)
