MarioKarting After the Last Show!

So BBB show day is never complete until we play MarioKart after the show. And last night was not an exception! As usual we play for punishments so here are some that happened last night.






Incase u guys didn't here... we just found that bottle of pop in the radio jock lounge when we got there... it's pretty nasty that we don't know who it belonged to :S

BBB's Last Show of the Semester

Alright so as you all know, we had our last show of the semester last night :( Incase you were one of the lame people that had to miss it and didn't get a chance to tune into our live stream here are some videos we made during the show!

For those of you that don't know... LF, jen and I have been making MarioKart a little more interesting by adding punishments to those who come in last. Last week i posted a video of jen feeding LF some cheese and carrots :D. Anywho jen lost another one and because of that she had to get a makeover live on our last show so here's the video for you guys to check out!

Because it was our last night of BBB I thought it would be a great idea to bring some goodies such as cupcakes and cookies... CLEARLY that was not a good idea at all :(

BBB doing some production!

The semester and the school year is coming to an end... And since our school is giving away "star awards" we at BBB think we would be an excellent candidate to win best after hours show. So while we worked hard on our submission (aka LF working hard and jen and i just goofing off) I made some quick little videos so u guys can feel like you were part of the process.

The first video is the punishment jen got for losing a round of mario kart... and that as to spoon feed LF his lunch!


This next video is strange lil jen eating her kiwi in a strange lil way...




So stay tuned BBB fans! More punishment videos coming your way!

LF, VICKYT, AND ......?

For two semesters now, LF and vickyT have had names they are known by on the radio. But I have been just known as Jen. So we're trying something new here at BBB, we are gunning for a new name for me for next semester! So let Bento Boombox know what you think and post your name ideas here!

Us Bento kids finally followed through with our December 1st date and took winner, Katie Stanners out for dinner and to smoke a hookah! So the four of us, plus tag-a-long date champion Taylor Smith, made our way to Co Co Di for our most chill date yet. Even the waitress wanted to kick it with BBB as she gave us a free refill! In fact, we may even call Katie back for a second date another time. Listen to Bento Boombox during our new time slot on monday nights from 7 to 9 PM for your chance to bond with BBB and go on a date with us!

A taste of Bento Boombox

So BBB went on a hella nice dinner to Earls for their December 15th's show of Win a date with Bento Boombox! Thanks to one of the RTA promotions groups, we won a Tasting at Earls and took four lovely winners to dinner with us! After proving their love and dedication for us through the magic of poems, Taylor, John, Curtis, and Chris got to join us for food, wine, and conversation. (Sorry Taylor, I guess we really don't put out on third dates...) Keep listening for your chance to win, because that could have been you eating with us.
