Byron Beck bares his back and boasts about his billy bibbit haircut. Sure, he talks about butts and balls. It's Byron. But unexpectedly, there's a discussion about SPORTS, of all things. Baseball, specifically, and an investigation into a local columnist trying on Glenn Beck's hand-me-downs like an eager 6 year old rummaging through daddy's closet. Other discussions include: The K-Tel nightmare that Obama's public speaking engagements have turned into, the FDA gets in a fight with Lipton, Celebrities wandering around the midnight movie, and strange, and Byron's dad goes to a den of man-ass with his beautiful gay son.

Byron Beck goes shopping with a wide variety of celebrities - for example, what kind of weird crap did John Malkovich buy for his college-age daughter while dressed like a member of The Revolution? Further discussion reveals quite a few details about Byron's life that have never before been revealed, stories that include Byron's first big gay date, coke-rimmed butt-treats, self-loathing on the commode, and his own square tendencies. Other topics include - The Walking Dead, the Kentucky Mosque decision, McDonald's gets to relive 1994 all over again, and an interesting theory regarding aging and how it ruins your birthday.

Byron Beck has been swimming in celebrities, and discusses his interaction/altercation with LOST's Matthew Fox at the opening of William Hurt's latest stageplay here in PDX. Of course, the tale is dotted with little filthy sprinkles of nastiness and inappropriate overtures. Other topics include - The Cougar Phenomenon, is it real, or completely media produced? The Iraq war finally ends, with somewhat of a quiet whisper as we sneak out the back door in the night. Byron gets a photo-spread in a local paper and Cort and Fats discover, rather uncomfortably, that there are kids running around the daily house party they're throwing.

I think the heat finally melted the show: 66 minutes of uncomfortableness while the sirens and street sounds waft in from 14 stories below. Ryan from DigitalTrends returns one day late, just in time to meet Hurricane Byron full force. He manages to discuss Apple's big middle finger to iPhone4 users, and sparks a heated debate about cyberstalking after reporting on Blizzard's decision to remove anonymity from their messageboards. Byron dresses down Cort and Fats fashion decisions, spills on celebrities in PDX, and gives his thoughs after attending his first midnight movie, leading to Cort and Fatty explaining why they don't want an Army.

Been awhile, but Byron Beck has made the CONTENT ADVISORY WARNING necessary. It's one of those episodes, you guys.

Byron Beck horrifies for a full 20 straight minutes - and NOT in the way you might be used to. A whole new level of gentle revulsion. And then the show settles down and delves into topics such as: how to successfully wean yourself off the unemployment teat, Teachers losing the battle for children's minds to fricking RUBBER BANDS, Dancing with the Stars and American Idol discussion (what? Really?) what the LOST ending really means, The plethora of Portland movies being filmed, and way more other stuff.

Byron Beck returns with news on this whole Conan O'Brien kerfluffle, and what hollywood usurper thinks he can come in here and ride The Famous Scott Dally's coattails to PDX Stardom. And when it goes off the rails, as it always does, you'll learn just WHO it is that Byron will NOT engage in sexual relations with. You didn't think such a man existed, did you. He does. Or did. Also discussed: Your fat will not save you in a car wreck, more dirt on Jesse James, what the hell is chexting, idiot media? And the rogue adventures of C. Everett Koop!

Today's show runs the gamut. It runs so many gamuts, it's a veritable gamut of gamuts: Loss, tragedy, success, victory, happiness, sadness, politics, entertainment - but be warned: Your regular Thursday Listening rules apply: BE WARY, YE WHO ARE UNPREPARED FOR THE BYRON EFFECT. Because it's definitely in effect. Topics include - the Supreme Court puts public office up for sale, Sam Elliott's effect on gay men, Harrison Ford's work ethic (It involves clocks) and as per usual for a thursday, questions about Cort's junk.
