[8:43am, Interior Recording Studio, Miami]

The cleaning lady is puttering around, acting like she’s cleaning, as the producer thumbs thru his notes for the day’s schedule.  Just then…

[Door Flies Open]

Producer:  Holy shit…aren’t you….?

Richie Incognito:  Yeah, I am.  Thanks for having me on the show today, btw.

Producer:  But you weren’t scheduled to…be…on….

Richie Incognito:  I came on short notice.  Thanks so much for having me.  I’m really hoping this thing today will soften folks’ attitude about me.  I’m really not a bad guy.  I was just having a bad day.  It happens.

Producer:  Rich…ummmm, may I call you Rich?

RI:  No.

Producer:  Fine.  Mr. Incognito, we don’t have you scheduled for today’s show.  I appreciate that you traveled…

RI:  Am I gonna have to shit in your mouth, Pal?

Producer:  Well no…I hope.

RI:  Look, I’ve been making a big comeback.  I’ve been behaving myself.  I haven’t bullied anyone lately as far as anyone knows.  I’ve been staying in shape…

Producer:  Ummmmm….where are you playing again now?

RI:  Oh FFS.  BUFFALO!!!!!!  FUCKING BUFFALO!!!!!!!

Producer:  Oh yeah, that explains it.

RI:  Why do you think I’m here, man?  That place sucks sooooooo hard!!!!!  I miss South Beach.  I miss girls.

Producer:  They don’t have girls in Buffalo?

The two look at one another and laugh hysterically.

Producer:  OK, fine.  I get it.  But if I let you on the air, you gotta promise to behave.

RI:  That’s why I’m here man.  I want to show Miami that I just had a bad day.

Fifteen minutes later, Richie Incognito is mic’d up and ready to go.

Producer:  Just push that button, then…go I guess.  Good Luck.

Richie pushes the button and begins talking into the mic…

RI:  What is up Miami????  This is your ol’ buddy Richie Incognito here.  I just wanna say that I miss all you guys and I hope to get back here soon.  I’ll behave.  I mean that Martin dude was just so irritating that I just wanted to strangle him down and….

Producer:  Richie?

RI:  …..  Right, right.  That Martin is a great kid.  I was just having a bad day…nothing more nothing less.  Here, have a listen and we’ll be back after the break…..

This week’s theme is HAVING A BAD DAY.  Don’t let me down.  Get imaginative.  Don’t just cop out like this….
