D&D - July 31, 2009

The Friday Game is starting to make a comeback akin to the Dave Matthews Band song "Shotgun," which we Detroiters got a brief tease of on Tuesday. First there was a half-hour of "Will the Drunk Know It?" last Friday during the final hour of the show, then today (at 6:41) they closed out the 6am hour with a short round of "Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon" to give away tickets to their D&D Drive-In Double-Feature Day next week. Maybe we'll yet again be treated to a full game one of these weeks? Lotta stuff covered on this morning's show, many of them listed below; those that weren't deemed podcast-worthy included a call-in segment on the dangers of yard sales (and their recent recession-induced surge in popularity), an audio clip from the White House Beer Summit, another Daily Show clip (this one from John Hodgman), an update on Nicole's Chihuahua Challenge, and a Sarah Palin poetry reading by William Shatner, courtesy of the Tonight Show. Other topics from today were, thanks to WCSX.com:

1. BRANDI HOMETOWN HOTTIE PICS! (pics / links) - Here are the pictures of Brandi Alexis! She is from Canton, and is a semi-finalist for the MAXIM Hometown Hotties competition...Vote For Brandi! A Michigan Maxim Hometown Hottie Semi-Finalist! To Vote Click Here! Check out Brandi's website!
2. 7 YEAR OLD DRVER! (video) - A quiet Sunday morning in Plain City was disrupted by calls of an unusual, reckless driver. The Weber County Sheriff's Office released dash-cam video of a 7-year-old boy who went to great lengths to get out of going to church on July 26. He took the family car and led police on a low-speed chase. Click here to see the video!
3. 5 YEAR OLD COVERS "FOLSOM PRISON BLUES" (video) - Five-year-old Wesley hit the stage in a Seattle coffee shop to perform "Folsom Prison Blues." Apparently, in addition to having a bitchin' Prince Valiant haircut, Wesley is the world's biggest fan of the the Man in Black. We think he pretty much kills it. Click here to see the video! Speaking of talented kids...check out this amazing art by a 6 YEAR OLD! Experts have said that the six-year-old's atmospheric paintings, which began with harbour scenes and expanded to include rural vistas, animal portraits and landmarks, have perspective, shadow and reflections that demonstrate an ability well beyond his years.

4. RON LIVINGSTON (podcast) - You know Ron Livingston best from "OFFICE SPACE." Chicks dig him cause he was on "SEX IN THE CITY." Ron has a new TV show on ABC called "Defying Gravity."
5. BRANDI MAXIM HOMETOWN HOTTIE (podcast) - Brandi from Canton stopped in this morning...She is a semi-finalist for the MAXIM Hometown Hotties competition! Look at her pictures and you will know why!
6. LEWIS BLACK (podcast) - Comedian Lewis Black was on the show this morning! Black will perform on his "Let Them Eat Cake" Tour at The Fillmore Sunday August 2nd!
7. CASH FOR CLUNKERS (podcast) - Cash For Clunkers was so popular so fast it's out of money! Listen to who took advantage of the Cash For Clunkers Program!
8. STOP ON RED WEEK (podcast) - [CLASSIC DEMINSKI RANT! Very good unintentional Lewis Black impression by Jeff!] These are their words not ours! FAIL! "The National Campaign to Stop Red Light Running is comprised of grassroots members and crash survivors who care deeply about traffic safety and want to see the Campaign persevere in its mission. As we turn the corner in this new situation, we will rely on the support, enthusiasm and creativity of our members to help us find the resources to continue as an independent advocacy organization. Moving forward, we believe the Campaign can be more relevant than ever in promoting responsible driving behavior and fostering effective, accountable traffic safety photo enforcement programs to help meet that goal."

Hey anonymous, I know this a strictly D&D podcast blog. But I was wondering if you could do me a favor man. I am doing a suicide prevention walk at the riverfront on September 13th, and was hoping you could post a link to the site for donations. I have been doing this for a few years now. Sorry if I am asking too much. http://afsp.donordrive.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&eventID=943&participantID=51730

I asked Jeff the same thing and he was cool enough to call me on the air this morning. I miss being on the show man. I wish they had more segments I could be involved in. I also miss Wing, Pat the weirdo, Jay the cable guy, even Joe the Animal.

Yea...as I've written on here a couple times, the new show does seem to have a "short-attention span disorder" formula...I wish they'd go back to the longer segments and more caller interaction...
