	Catherine Keener; Chef Mario Batali; and Solomon Burke. PLUS: Big Brother Clip of the Night; Johnny Jihad; Psychic Sandwich; and a surprise celebrity taster. I'm gonna make this quick. Right after this I'm running out to get me a Solomon Burke. From today's headlines: NEW YORK TIMES: "Admitting He Fought in Taliban, American Agrees to 20-Year Term." NEW YORK POST: "20 Years' Jail For Traitor Lindh" - and this one made Dave roar with laughter - NEW YORK DAILY NEWS: "Johnny Jihad Cops A Plea" Johnny Jihad - sounds like a bad guy on *Johnny Quest. BIG BROTHER* CLIP OF THE NIGHT: I was running past a monitor when this was on but I think I heard the woman say, "That's an awful lot of drool." PSYCHIC SANDWICH: Our staff Intuitive Deborah Lynn was away on assignment so we called for our Rob Nen, our Mariano Rivera; our Trevor Hoffman; our Rollie Fingers - to fill in for Lynn we called for our good friend Stephanie. How do we play? Rupert prepares one of his famous sandwiches. It is up to blindfolded Stephanie to determine the name if the sandwich. We learn that Stephanie is a graduate of Wake Forest University, a Demon Deacon. Dave wonders why all her friends call her "Monty." An exasperated Stephanie says, "Only you do!" Before we go any farther, Dave has a request. He would like to see Stephanie's impression of her old boyfriend dancing. Stephanie is fine with that. With a little Rod Stewart "Maggie May" from Paul, Stephanie begins her dance. I recognized the dance. It's the same dance as Pig Pen from A Charlie Brown Christmas. (I think it was Pig Pen). Stephanie leaned over slightly, drooped her arms, and lazily bounced from one foot to the next. Rupert blindfolds Stephanie as Alan tells us tonight's Psychic Sandwich: "Tonight's Psychic Sandwich is made with grilled roast beef, American cheese, sauteed onions, lettuce, tomato, hot peppers, and mayonnaise on a hero. It's known to Rupert Jee customers as the Biff Henderson." While Stephanie is blindfolded, Dave asks her to do some more dancing. He then calls in Rupert to do a step or two. Rupert goes back to preparing the sandwich. Dave asks Stephanie if she frequents Rupert's. She says, "I like McDonald's." (Did you hear that, McDonald's? Bring it on!) My favorite part of Psychic Sandwich: When Dave says, "Rupert is plating the sandwich." The sandwich is ready and we're ready for Stephanie's guess. Doing as well as a highly paid Intuitive, Stephanie incorrectly guesses "The Jude Brennan." Right answer: The Biff Henderson. But there are no losers in Psychic Sandwich. What do we have for Stephanie? A Rupert Jee Hello Deli deli platter. IS THIS ANYTHING? She's back, Keva the Snake Lady, this time performing "Fire Fingers." To Dave and Paul, it just keeps on getting better and better. CATHERINE KEENER: dressed in all black. From the soon to be released film, Full Frontal (July 19) and from the acclaimed Lovely & Amazing which is now in theaters. Catherine Keener is married to fellow actor, Dermot Mulroney. It is decided that actors frequently marry actors because they understand each other's pressures and business schedules. It's probably why celebrity marriages last so long. Catherine Keener has a Mary Hartman way about her that I enjoyed. (I mean that in a good way). MARIO BATALI: Chef and part-owner of three restaurants in New York City: - Babbo, Lupa, and Esca. He's opening a 4th, Otto, in October. Tonight, Mario prepared soft-shell crabs with chickpea Panella and spicy sun-gold tomato vinaigrette. High points to the cooking demo: - Dave and Mario cooking in tandem. - Dave stuffing crabs down his pants. He started to wiggle and shuffle after this and I was hoping he would have done a little Stephanie dance. - Dave swigs from a heavily-alcoholed bottle. ('heavily-alcoholed' - I made up that word) - Dave spits the sipped alcohol into the cooking crabs. - Special Celebrity taster, Robin Williams. Robin comes out and requests the crab that was down Dave's pants. He samples and enjoys the soft-shell crab. He gives is a thumbs up. ACT 5: LATE SHOW SECURITY CAMERA - we see some creepy naked guy sitting in Dave's chair at the desk. I think he may have been a member of DaveCon2002. (Don't ask.) SOLOMON BURKE: Soul music legend and a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. From his new CD, Don't Give Up On Me, Solomon sang the song by the same name. It reminded me a bit of Otis Redding's "Try A Little Tenderness." My wallet is out and I'm wanting to buy. I'm getting "Don't Give Up On Me." This was one of the more thrilling performances on the Ed Sullivan stage. And that was our show for Tuesday July 16, 2002. Wahoo EXTRA! Featuring a *Cameo Mention of a Wahoo Reader* is much like preaching to the choir. I've been thinking of starting something new, entitled, *Cameo Mention of a Non-Wahoo Reader. Once these non-Wahoo* readers realize they missed their name in the Wahoo Gazette, they'll never skip another issue and my readership will increase. (I get paid by the hit) So tonight I will debut: CAMEO MENTION OF A NON-WAHOO READER From the Dean's List of the Milwaukee School of Engineering, it's Racine County's Lance Blakeman. This concludes the premiere episode of CAMEO MENTION OF A NON-WAHOO READER Yesterday I wrote that "awesome" is no longer in, and that "brilliant" is the new "groovy." I received the following this morning: From Janet Sullins: "FYI, I was in England about five years ago. 'Brilliant' was 'in' then. 'Mega-brill' is really excellent." So it looks like "brilliant" may already be on the way out, pushed aside by "mega-brill." Any suggestions as to what is next? No, I will not accept "Eddie-brill." My guess: "Toxic," as in "Dude, Dave Matthews was really toxic last night." And if the antonym angle doesn't work, then I'm going with "glorious." SNAPPLE UNDER THE CAP FUN FACT: #11.
