D&D - Apr 14, 2009

R.I.P. Mark Fidrych. He makes the second athlete to pass away after I got his autograph. No one would ever guess the first -- if you do, I'll personally send you ten bucks. D&D talked to Ernie Harwell about the passing of "The Bird" as well as playing a couple old interview clips of Fidrych. Mr. Awesome Segue says they also talked to Captain Sig Hansen from the TV show Deadliest Catch before taking calls regarding Ask Men's top dangerous jobs list. And another caller swore on the air. Here's a little more from today's show, courtesy of WCSX.com:

1. FACES NOT NUMBERS (info [from last week]) - We want to let the people in Washington D.C. know that when they talk about making decisions regarding the auto industry...it’s more than just numbers...it’s REAL PEOPLE who are going to be impacted by these decisions. We’re going to put together a banner with pictures of all the men, women and children who are impacted by the auto industry (workers, suppliers, retirees, restaurants, etc.) [You can] email D&D your picture or mail it to:

2. SURPRISE TALENT! (links to video) - "American Idol" isn’t the only launching pad for aspiring singers. Across the pond, "Britain’s Got Talent" scored a huge boost in the Buzz after an unassuming contestant gave an amazing performance. Susan Boyle (remember that name) became a Web phenomenon after singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables. The performance brought the audience to its feet and left the judges (including Simon Cowell) either speechless or in tears. Before going on stage, Ms. Boyle admitted some self-deprecating facts about herself (she's never been kissed and lives alone with her cat, Pebbles). For those reasons and more, audiences were expecting the female William Hung. They were wrong. Check out the video here! Paul Potts, was also launched into stardom by winning a previous season of "Britain’s Got Talent." He is not the best looking dude in the world, but he sure put the judges in their place! Check out the video here! Paul also does a mean cover of "Ding Fries Are Done!"
3. ERNIE HARWELL (podcast) - This morning D&D spoke with Hall Of Fame Broadcaster Ernie Harwell on the passing of Mark "The Bird" Fidrych...Bird you will be missed!
4. THE RODENATOR (podcast) - The Rodenator assists landowners with the removal of most species of underground burrowing pests. The Rodenator currently is offered in two versions. Both the Pro and R2 Remote work on the principal of delivering a precisely measured mixture of propane and oxygen into the tunnel or burrow of invasive pests. This mixture is then detonated by the operator, causing an instantaneous underground shock wave of concussive force that eliminates the pests and in some (species specific) cases collapses some of the existing tunnel structure thus preventing immediate re-infestation. Carl Spackler says, "Man, free to kill gophers at will. To kill, you must know your enemy, and in this case my enemy is a varmint. And a varmint will never quit - ever. They're like the Viet Cong - Varmint Cong. So you have to fall back on superior intelligence and superior firepower. And that’s all she wrote."
5. ROCK STAR RUN-INS (podcast) - Have you ever run into a rock star? We took calls on people that met a rock star and whether they were cool or not...Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, and Freddy Mercury could not be reached for comment...Mark Walhberg was quoted, "You know, I'm just a regular guy who grew up with the posters of these guys on my wall...and now I’m one of them!" So stand up and shoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooout!
6. THE RAZORBA (podcast) - Listen up hairy guys! There is a novel invention called the razorba. It's a hand-held device that allows you to SHAVE YOUR OWN BACK! D&D found a lucky listener that is going to be coming in to the studio to test it out.
7. KNOW YOUR PORN (podcast) - In honor of the late Marylin Chambers, D&D talked about everyone’s favorite topic - PORN. And more importantly - how well do you know your porn? [Doyle aced this quiz...should we be scared?]
