The RANGERS Foundation

EPISODE ONE: Youth in Asia

RADIO EXCERPT FROM 97.5 FM | September 15th | 7:30 a.m.

DJ: What's up my amigos. This is DJ BIG Easy. Welcome to RACK ATTACK, the number one radio show in AMERICA. I have some exciting show for today. We are about to have a live phone conversation with an actual Power Ranger. Now I know what you thinking. I must be lying through my teeth because getting an interview with Ranger is kind of like getting Ebola in America. It's super rare to get, but when you do, all attention falls to it. But in all seriousness, I was able to meet this Ranger. She's the real deal and guys, she single. Give it up for the Yellow Ranger from the Central Division.
Yellow: Hello
DJ: Hey, girl. How you been?
Yellow: Been fine. Thank you!
DJ: No mention it. So I'm just gonna ask you a few questions and let you be on your away but first, introduce yourself. Tell us about the real you.
Yellow: Well, okay. I'm the Yellow Ranger of the Central Division. I am 16 years old.
DJ: I'm sorry. I don't think I heard you right. How old are you?
Yellow: 16
DJ: To be honest, I though they were kidding with the whole 'teenagers with high tech gear' thing. So, sorry that I put you on the spot as being hot.
Yellow: Don't be. It's just an honest mistake. So, where was I? Oh, yeah! I am very hyper active. I am very out going. I love to run and fly a lot. And I love Sesame Street.
DJ: You love Sesame Street.
Yellow: Yeah! I love Elmo; love Big Bird. Only problem was that I could never guess how old they really were. After decades of broadcasting, it's kind of hard to tell whether any of those characters are really the age they say there are. Nonetheless, I still love it.
DJ: So, do you biggest inspirations?
Yellow: Not really. Well, maybe Olivia Pope.
DJ: You mean Kerry Washington, the actor.
Yellow: No, I mean the character she plays. Watching TGIT shows are my favorite pass time. Sometimes, I would even catch up on the show inside my helmet.
DJ: I'm sorry. What?
Yellow: Our helmets have built in screens that project videos, pictures, and music. One time I caught a bank robber and watched Season 3 of Scandal at the same time. (Yellow laughs)
DJ: I think I remember that. I had an interview with a news corespondent. You didn't want to speak to anyone.
Yellow: Because I was watching fighting the robber while I watched Quinn, spoiler alert, was getting tortured by Huck. I was devastated.
DJ: Guess that answers my next question. Why did you beat that guy so harshly?
Yellow: (Yellow laughs) No. No. No. I was so embarrassed. I didn't want to talk to anyone. That's the thing I loved about Olivia Pope. She was powerful and fierce and she never learned from the mistakes she made. I watch her go through her ups and downs and I loved her for that.
DJ: OK, well I have a special caller who wants to speak to you. Caller state your name, city, and state.
Caller: My name is Tammy. I'm from Atlanta, Georgia. And I wanted to ask this question that has been bugging me.
Yellow: Fire away!
Tammy: Do you have a bad case of helmet hair every time you put on that suit and if so, how do you keep your hair so beautiful.
Yellow: Sea salt hair spray! I use it every day. I spray it on my hair every morning. Then, when it's time to fight those monsters, I just bunch up my hair to the top of my head with bobby pins and put my suit on. That how I'm able to fight crime and look so flawless afterwards.
Tammy: Oh, thank you so much! You have no idea how much this means to me.
Yellow: No sweat. I have more tips were that came from! Just follow me CentralYellow_XD on Instagram, Tumblr, Snapchat, Facebook, and Twitter.
DJ: Well, I guess we have reached the end of this interview.
Yellow: Wow. That was fast. Thought you would have more than that.
DJ: Something tells me you don't know what phrasing means.
Yellow: What's phrasing.
DJ: It's a term used by older people that has a totally different meaning according to today's youth. Terms can also be heard being used by sports people on TV.
Yellow: I still don't get it.
DJ: Watch Archer on Netflix. You'll know what it means.
Yellow: Now you're giving me homework.
DJ: It's a funny show about spies and work related events and...I can believe I am talking about this with a teenager.
Yellow: You're not. You're having a conversation with me. (Yellow hangs up)
DJ: Did she just hang up on me? She just hung up on me! Yellow Ranger, ladies and gentleman. Coming up next is Cheerleader by OMI. This is RACK ATTACK coming at cha.
