INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY

Once again, all the lights are off in the studio, and it’s completely silent.  The studio lights come on…

…and in the hallway that leads to the studio a series of frantic footsteps can be heard. 

— [DOOR FLIES OPEN] —

HUNTER RENFROW: [holding a square flat box] I’m here, I’m here! And it’s not my fault that I’m cutting it close this time, the guy at the…uh…shop wouldn’t stop talking.

DJ 3000′: THE SHOP WHERE YOU BOUGHT WHATEVER IS IN THAT BOX?

HUNTER RENFROW: Yeah. It’s a special day, so I brought a surprise!

DJ 3000′: NEAT! [engages Brad Pitt voice module] SO WHAT’S IN THE BOX?

HUNTER RENFROW: [mimes holding a walkie-talkie up to his mouth]: Stand down, I repeat, stand down.  DJ 3000′ has the upper hand!

DJ 3000′: YOU KNOW, IT ALWAYS BOTHERED ME THAT THEY STYLIZED IT AS SE7EN.

HUNTER RENFROW: Right? Like how are you even supposed to pronounce that?

DJ 3000′: I THOUGHT IT WOULD WORK OKAY IF THEY TURNED THE SEVEN SIDEWAYS, LIKE…

DJ 3000′ displays an image on his main console.

HUNTER RENFROW: Hey, that’s pretty good!

DJ 3000′: THANKS! SO, AS FUN AS IT WOULD BE IF THAT BOX CONTAINED THE SEVERED HEAD OF GWYNETH PALTROW, I’M GUESSING IT’S SOMETHING ELSE.

HUNTER RENFROW: Yeah, that would be more of a Fitzpatrick Bateman kind of thing.

HUNTER RENFROW lifts the lid of the box, to display…

DJ 3000′: UM…OH.

HUNTER RENFROW: It’s for the whole office.

DJ 3000′: YOU REALIZE I DON’T HAVE A MOUTH, RIGHT?

HUNTER RENFROW: I know.  But I’m not aware of any other way to celebrate the fourteenth day of the third month.

DJ 3000′: AH YES, THREE-FOURTEEN.  PI DAY.  DID YOU KNOW THAT IN BINARY PI IS NOT ACTUALLY AN IRRATIONAL NUMBER?

HUNTER RENFROW: Oh man don’t get started on that base-two stuff again, I thought I left that behind forever once we got through it in Honors Algebra.

DJ 3000′: I HOPE IT TASTES AS DELICIOUS AS IT LOOKS.

HUNTER RENFROW: [cutting himself a slice] Is there any way for you to enjoy something like this?

DJ 3000′: NOT THE SAME WAY THAT YOU WOULD.  I DO APPRECIATE THE SYMMETRY OF CIRCULAR SHAPES, HOWEVER.

HUNTER RENFROW: Speaking of circular shapes, I thought that could be the theme of today’s Request Line.

DJ 3000′: CIRCLES?

HUNTER RENFROW: Yeah, and basically anything else that’s round.  Like pies!

DJ 3000′: SURE THING, HAVE YOU GOT SOMETHING TO GET US STARTED WITH?

HUNTER RENFROW: Of course I do.  If you’d be so kind as to fire up a little something from the Beatles’ White Album…

Today’s theme is “Circles”.  We’re looking for songs about circular things – circles, of course, but other things like pies and clocks and such are fair game as well.  Please post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?w!Ld_V3r510n and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle clue of “Hovercraft” left our listeners stumped and went unsolved – it referred to The Alan Parsons Project and their song “The Raven”.  Now without further ado, let’s roll!
