Hey folks. I’m presumptive New York Jets quarterback Ryan “FitzMagic” Fitzpatrick. A lot of you might not know this about me, but I went to Harvard. When I was a freshman, I found it really hard to balance all of my interests with the demands of my class schedule and football practice. Things got a little easier when Coach made me quit my job as the Seeker on the Quidditch team (“The only Golden Snitch you should be seeking is over at Kappa Delta Phi,” he said, “and it’s pronounced with an ‘a’, not an ‘i’.”) but it was still tough to do everything I wanted. I watched as my roommate’s cavalier Sturmstrung Whiteblade racked up experience points and went from a second-level Squire to an eight-level Banneret (with a vorpal blade!) while my own Perceptor the Illusionist languished behind in Azereus Motte. I got stuck going to keg parties with my football teammates instead of LAN parties with my CS 60 classmates. I was always jealous of the kids who had their own radio shows at WHRB. So that’s why I was thrilled when Rikki-Tikki-Deadly called me up and offered me a chance to host Request Line here for the week. I thought this week’s topic would be one of my favorites: MAGIC! I’ll get us started with a song from the Cars that always puts a smile on my face. Enjoy!
Hopping in the WAAAY back machine.
I love the acoustic intro to this song. Been a fan of these guys for many decades.

ABSTRACT INTERPRETATION OF THE THEME DOUBLE SHOT!
R.I.P Dimebag.
Eh, close enough:
Stay heavy, bro!
Cardinals brought in a Crimson 5th rounder. Cole Toner isn’t a me-first gloree boy like Fitzpatrick though so you’ll never hear about him holding out. He’s just glad to be a part of the team and is going to do whatever it takes to help BIRDCANO win the Super Bowl.
I’m all about that heavy shit, boss!
Steve Miller – Abracadabra

I really enjoyed “Spy”, but there’s no way the Ghostbusters remake can compete with the original on any level – including the soundtrack. Especially the soundtrack.
