Pro skaters Ryan Sheckler, Paul Rodriguez Jr. and Eric Koston come to the factory for a skate contest. Later, Rob and Ryan drag race.
Does anyone know why MTV decided to run the new episodes of these shows (Fantasy Factory and Nitro Circus) at 11:30 am and 12 noon on Sunday before the new ones show at their normal time on Sunday nights? Don’t get me wrong, I like the fact that they are doing it because then I can do absolutely nothing on Sunday nights, but it just seems weird that they would try to pull viewers away from primetime to have them watch at noon instead? I’m sure they have their reasons and I’m sure it doesn’t matter to them when people watch the show, I just found it a little odd.
For those of you that watch Rob Dyrdek’s Fantasy Factory on MTV, there is a guy on the show called Turbo who is supposedly the maintenance guy or handyman around the Factory, but Rob likes to be a dick so he blurs his face in every single episode. So while “Turbo” has appeared in Rob & Big, unblurred, he has never shown his face on The Fantasy Factory, but now you can see what he looks like.
For the longest time I thought he was one of the “Extreme Guys” from Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, but after rewatching the movie last night, I’ve determined that it’s not him, but they do look similar. So anyways, the above picture is what Turbo really looks like without the blur, if anyone cared. You can follow him on twitter at http://www.twitter.com/turbo_akablurry

Fantasy Factory (3/15/09)
Rob’s mom visits the factory, and everyone’s instructed to be on their best behavior.
I’ll be back later tonight to write a quick review as I do every week.
I didn’t know the title of the episode so “Dra Dra Drama Beats” sounded appropriate. So last night was pretty much all about Drama and getting him setup with a proper place to persue his music producing career. The episode opens up with Drama sitting in his office (under the stairs), starring at the wall blankly. Rob questions what he’s doing and he really doesn’t have a good answer, which gets them talking about what Drama really wants to do… produce music. So Rob decides to build him a studio, but before they do that they need to go see a hypnotherapist that can hypnotize Drama for success.
They get to the hypnotherapist and start talking to him about what ideas they want to instill in Drama… success I guess, but to start out they need to give their subconscious a name, Drama chooses Steve while Rob chooses Battle Hardened. The two can’t stop cracking up at “Steve” and how big of a douche Drama’s subconscious is without him even knowing it. After a few random hypno exercises the session is over and Drama is all showered up and ready to take on the world, time to build a studio.
The studio ends up being pretty cool. The console with all the computers/mixers/eq’s etc is setup in sort of a spaceship type area with the recording booth being through a cave in a separate room. The microphone comes out of a gorillas mouth and the client seats are the hands of god coming out of the wall. Overall it was a pretty interesting studio, but different, which is good. It’s a lot more than what Drama had before, which was basically just a Mac with a microphone in the closet. Not to say that it wasn’t a good setup, Bobby Light put out his number 1 hit “Dirty Girl” in that studio.
On a side note, Rob had a tennis ball cannon installed in the Fantasy Factory, so he could shoot people. It’s the same gun you see on American Gladiators in the “Assault” event. So Rob got to shoot a few people throughout the episode and Drama actually got 5 free shots on Rob after he was able to do a backflip on a BMX bike before Rob did (into the foam pit of course).
It would also appear that Rob, Drama and Turbo (aka Blurry) have made their way on to Twitter. So if you want to know what they are doing and have an easy way to get a hold of them, follow them on twitter at the links below.
