Ok, before you start writing that hate mail because of something we said that may have offended you, I suggest you study up on some of the more popular people and phrases we mention on the show.  If you're not sure what we're talking about when we speak in "code" then this is the place for you.  Half the time, we don't even realize that we're saying things that some people may not understand. Hopefully, this glossary will help you figure everything out just so you can keep up. If you need us to add a name or a term, just ask! Anything written in the first person is by Candy.

 

>> producer ethan

Producer Ethan is the newest addition to the Succubus Club family since our move to KLBC.  He'll be with us during every show, often times answering the phone for us and doing all sorts of other cool stuff.  He's only been with us a few weeks and he's already gotten fan mail!  You go girl! 

>> gm mike

Mike is the former General Manager of K-Beach and all around slut.  The rat bastard barely comes by to visit us anymore, but we're not bitter about it or anything.  He's loved by many, so I guess he just got too popular for us or something.  Sheesh..

>> charles

The fourth and final member of the OG K-Beach family (Kitty, GM Mike and myself).  He often arrives at the station half-way through our show and you'll usually hear us greet him with our affectionate nickname for him, "Char-less!"  He's my previous Assistant Music Director and currently hosts The Indie Shop, a great Brit pop and rock show that airs after us at 8pm PT.  

>> carey

The Succubus Club official Private Investigator/News Correspondent. She is the wonderful listener who provides us with so many of the spoilers and information on the show!

>> shaun

Shaun the Pie Guy is a dear friend to the show and actually took over my job for a few weeks!

>> punker mike

Not to be confused with GM Mike, Punker Mike is our favorite young stud (don't tell Jeremy) and former DJ at the station.  Hands down the funniest stud on the planet, Punker Mike used to come by on Wednesdays to visit and make fun of us and man the Club chat room.  His class schedule won't let him do that this season, but I'm sure he'll be in touch.  Oh yeah, sorry to disappoint ladies, but he's got a girl. 

>> jeremy

Previous Program Director at the station and spikey-haired piece of cute.  I just don't know if it's possible for anyone to be more lovable (don't tell Punker Mike) than Remy.  Oh, and did I mention that he's Canadian? Mmmm... bacon. 

>> john

Kitty's SO and kickass photographer.

>> faith vader

Will we ever get to use this again?  Sigh.  This is a name that, as far as we can tell, came from Kitty and her friends, which refers to Faith's turn over to the dark side.

>> ewan

Refers to Ewan McGregor. Kitty lusts after him.  She goes into heat whenever she starts talking about him.  

 


 

>> ice pick in the eye

Short, and simple.  When we had Drew Greenberg on the show the first time, there were some new listeners who didn't know who we were or what our style was.  They listened to the show and proceeded to comment about us on a message board.  One comment in particular that we noticed was someone saying that we laughed so much that they wanted to take an ice pick and shove it into their eye/head/ear region.  We've never forgotten that and it tends to come up now and again.

>> faith is SOOOO hot

Sure, an obvious statement to the naked eye.  But where did it come from?  Why is it said as much as it is?  And why, oh why is it used for comedic purposes?  Long story short.  At the end of a listener-submitted Kitty Torture, many moons ago, there was a bonus question.  Innocent enough, one would think.  But no.  To earn these bonus points, Kitty had to talk (for a full minute) about how hot Faith was in the particular KT episode.  First words out of her mouth?  "Faith is SOOOOO hot."  And a new American catch phrase was born.  Now, whenever there's mention of a bonus question, before it's even asked, Kitty answers with this.   

>> monkey pen

A pen that I received from a friend of mine has become an unofficial mascot because it's just so damn cute and is the official pen used during Kitty Torture to mark which questions Kitty gets right!

>> behind the scenes

Whenever we have time before 6pm, we usually turn on the mics and let everyone at home listen to what goes on "behind the scenes" as we get ready for any given show.  Most people have found that all we do is talk about nothing during that time, but it's been known to be somewhat amusing at times.  On average, behind the scenes is only a few minutes before the actual show starts.  But there was one night we did a 45 minute version - so anything's possible.

>> up yours, ____!

We felt the need to add this after a few select one-time listeners objected to this term.  But it's our bad, we didn't have it in the glossary to give us the free "don't get all snippy" pass when we tell various writers, producers, actors or networks where they can stick it.  Long story short, Kitty uses this mostly when she's slightly perturbed at the state of the buffy/angel nation.  It's meant in jest... mostly.  It should be taken as such.  In other words, don't get your panty in a wad over it.  It's. A. Joke.

>> she's chick and i'm stu

This reference will most likely fly right over the heads of anyone who doesn't live in or around the Southern California area.  It refers to the late Chick Hearn and Stu Lantz, the former play-by-play and color commentators, respectively, of the Los Angeles Lakers.  Kitty uses this phrase to clue people in on our roles on the Club.  Since I tend to know more of the facts and try to keep the show on track, I'm Chick.  Since Kitty adds her colorful flavor and spices up the show with stories and fun-filled injections of hilarity, she's Stu.  Get it?  But we're cuter, damnit.

>> ...bitch

Taken from Spike, we have a tendency to add it onto way too many of our sentences, usually those with more than five words. However, fyi, this is what we refer to as Spike Style when we ask you guys to "give us reviews of the show, Spike style" to win our contests. Make a note of it!

>> pie

Sure, it seems like a simple word with a simple definition, but when put in our hands, it becomes something else completely. Kitty and I seem to have a fascination with pie which was only compounded on the day that Shaun first rolled up to the show and presented us with Hostess fruit-filled pies as gifts. We do truly believe that the world is a better place with pie in it. Whether eaten or smeared all over the place, you can't go wrong with good piece of pie.

>> f-word

You would think, being on radio, that this is one of those seven dirty words, right?  We wish!  We can't even bring ourselves to actually tell you what this means. We're betting you could figure it out, though. Let's just say that it's a show on the WB that used to follow Buffy on Tuesday nights. It's since been exiled to Sundays and returned to mid-week torture on Wednesdays. We thought we were going to finally be free of it when Buffy changed networks.  But are we?  No!  Damn that Angel.  What are we to do?  We can only avert our eyes for so long!  Sigh.  Once in a while, we'll say the word, but rest assured, it hurts us to the very core of our souls.

>> dawson's reek

Sorry, boys!

>> random thoughts

It would seem this is self-explanatory, but leave it to me to just ramble on about it anyway. What started out at 5 minutes between show summaries a year ago has turned into our favorite part and (from what we've heard) the most popular part of the show. In this time, we have kitty torture trivia, spoilers/news/cast appearances, and just about anything else that pops into our little pea brains. This is where anything goes.

>> kitty torture

Though it SOUNDS cruel, it's truly the juggernaut of our Random Thoughts. I thought it would be fun to see how much Kitty sucks at trivia, so I decided to put her through it every week. Kitty has asked for help from the listeners, but they seem to enjoy listening to her squirm.  Kitty stresses out under the pressure, which is... you know... pretty funny.

>> yer mom

We can all thank GM Mike for bringing this now-popular phrase into the K-Beach offices. Not that he invented it or anything, but once he started answering questions with "yer mom", Kitty and I just kindof never let go of it and now it will never go away.

>> the club

Kitty started using this phrase to as a way to refer to The Succubus Club in the coolest way possible. Kitty's nothing if not cool.  Don't forget, the first rule of the Succubus Club... don't talk about the Succubus Club!

>> coffee and sleep update

Defunct term.  These can be found on old Club shows.  What started as a passing question quickly became a staple. Kitty is a huge coffee drinker, and when she doesn't have enough in the morning, she's cranky. And for whatever reason, I never seemed to get much (if any) sleep on Tuesday nights. When I didn't get at least 5 hours, I was either a) bitchy b) loopy c) lethargic. It's a crap shoot, really. Hence, we used to give updates on how many cups of coffee and how much sleep we had.

>> 2-e wee

Ok, how do we explain this? During one show, I tried to describe something small, and Kitty piped in with her word for small, "wee". Since, over the radio it can be a little hard to understand what certain words mean, we went on to decipher that this was in fact the "2-e wee" and not the "1-e we". Since then, it's been used periodically and continues to be a source of much amusement for both of us.  Aren't you glad you asked?

>> red sweater and white pants

Yes, an odd thing to refer to, but it's been done more often than you'd think. What started as my fashion review of David Boreanaz' appearance on Conan O'Brien turned into one of Kitty's favorite smackdowns on dear ol' Dave. He will never live this fashion faux pas down at The Club - not as long as we have breath in their bodies.  If any VIP's are reading - beware what you wear on talk shows.
