Flipping through the channels between the Sharks-Oilers game and the Suns-Clippers game, we stumbled upon David Blaine’s aquaman event. The actual stunt was pretty stupid but we jumped in during the pre-taped magic portions. You gotta admit the trick where David Blaine removes a woman’s canines, chews em up and spits it back intact into her mouth was pretty mindblowing. Not so much for the trick itself but how he could convince the woman that her teeth were actually gone.
Well, that got us hooked. Until we started hearing a familiar, yet irritating tones of… who is it… can’t quite figure it out… mental calculation… ESPN… ABC… oh f’ing hell.. it’s Boo-Ya Scott. Why ABC/ESPN still think people enjoy hearing Stu Scott cover anything is beyond us. At one point, describing the damage that could happen to David Blaine’s hands as a result of the water logging, Stu asked us to imagine anyone who made a living with their hands: a concert pianist, a surgeon…. Tiger Woods. What the? Tiger Woods? Way to drop some knowledge on us, Stu.
Stu Scott, thankfully, left the “holla at your boy” and “underwater like the okey-doke” schtick at the ESPN set, but that didn’t stop us from hating ESPN, ABC, and Stu Scott for ruining more of our watching experience.
Among the great unanswered questions in our lives are: how is Keith Richards still alive and why does Stu Scott have a job?
