D&D - Aug 31, 2009

We're tweaking the show audio a bit starting today -- almost completely gone are the normal commercials and in their place we'll be revisiting old winners of the Workforce Business of the Day contest. The newest WFBotD company is the Apple Driving School, but listen today for the ads Jeff did from the first week of the campaign.

Seemed like a bit of an old-school show today. There was only one interview (an unannounced appearance by The Skipper), only one "Classic Rock"-themed story (a short update to the death of a member of the Rolling Stones from 40 years ago), and a four call-in segments. Listeners got to chime in their opinions on topics such as government intervention in parenting (see #1 below), the effects of booze vs. weed, and their experiences with rude bill collectors (we even had one "Collections Agent" call in). There was also a contest for callers to see who could tell the best "worst date ever" story. A few current events & local stories were touched on, ranging from the brass balls of a Clinton Township thief and the end of Jack Kevorkian's gag order to an update to the California kidnapping story. Rudy chipped in a "best & worst" horror movie villains list (after being taught how to properly give a movie review), Doyle told his DUI story during the "Practice Your Jail Phone Call" segment (Rudy took out some anger on the fake Mom), and Deminski gave a short update on his troubled brother. The guys also played a bit of the YouTube video from Glen Moon, an über-religious whackjob running for Livonia City Council. Featured segments at WCSX.com included:

1. 13 YEAR OLD TO SAIL AROUND THE WORLD? (podcast) - A 13 year old girl wants to sail around the world alone...Her parents say yes, but the Dutch Government says no...Gene Hackman, Shelly Winters, Leonardo Dicaprio, Kate Winslet, George Clooney, Roy Scheider, Jack Sparrow, One-Eyed Willy, and Captain Hook could not be reached for comment...
2. U Of M AND RICH ROD (podcast) - The University of Michigan said that it will investigate the allegations of players and parents who made claims that the football team violated NCAA rules governing off-season workouts, in-season practices and summer scrimmages. At least the extra practices helped the team wi--Oh wait...FAIL!
3. JIM LEYLAND (podcast) - D&D talked to Jim Leyland "The Skipper" Monday morning! Great conversation about everything from Justin Verlander to the OVER 2 million fans this season...check out the podcast!
4. D-list Week of 8/31 (video) - Weekly D&D update video.

Apple Driving School (WCSX Workforce Business of the Day)

D&D - Aug 28, 2009

Rudy needs to turn in his man-card -- normally you don't have to eat boiled duck fetus (or other nasty crap) to retain it, but when you get pwned by a chick? That's a violation. It's a suspension at the very minimum. Maybe next the guys should get some of the cats from that house in Dearborn and feed them to her next. Chase it down with some Faygo root beer and you're all set. But I bet she won't eat any "cute" animals. Perhaps the Michigan State Fair should sell nasty third-world "delicacies" to stave off its impending demise. Other topics covered today include another "unconscious plagiarism" charge (this time between Weezer and Metallica), a breaking news story about the California kidnap victim, a slam of a Foreigner cover by Mariah Carey (it really is quite awful), a call-in segment about spousal nagging, and a hypothesis about a reason for the decline of hip fractures in Canada. Podcast-worthy topics were, courtesy of WCSX.com:

1. PLAY AIR HOCKEY AGAINST WCSX JOCKS (link) - Just click on the WCSX Jock you'd like to play (beat!) and use your mouse to guide the paddle in a game of intense air hockey! The first to score five goals wins. Keep playing for fun or click on the Register to Win link for your chance to Win free Red Wing Tickets!
2. NICOLE EATS BALUT (pics) - Well, she did it! Nicole took the "balut challenge" and won, with the composure of a champion. Here's to you miss "I'll eat the nastiest thing on the planet."
3. ANDREW ZIMMERN - AND THEN NICOLE EATS BALUT! (podcast) - D&D talk with Andrew Zimmern, from the show Bizarre World on Travel Channel. Then - Nicole EATS BALUT! Her reaction...startling to say the least.
4. ROD ALLEN (podcast) - Fox Sports Detroit's Rod Allen called in with his weekly Tigers report, and talked about the return of Nate Robinson.
5. 93 YEAR OLD KILLS SOMEONE - NO JAIL!? (podcast) - A 93 year old that probably shouldn't have been driving to be gin with, struck and killed someone with her car. And she isn't going to jail! How many people have had a close call with an elderly driver?

D&D - Aug 27, 2009

Today's show featured Rudy debating "open carry" laws with a cop, Jeff telling a story about shopping for Nicole's duck fetus in preparation for tomorrow's Balut Challenge, a story about another possible smoking restriction law, a hypocritical SPCA employee doing a Mark Sanford impression, a bit of audio from Rick Pitino, and some more slandering of the dead. Tim Ivan from Tim's Glass, today's Workforce Business of the Day winner, also popped on (as opposed to pooped on -- that was Tuesday's sponsor) the air to plug his business.

Tim's Glass (WCSX Workforce Business of the Day)

D&D - Aug 26, 2009

R.I.P. Senator Kennedy. While D&D took somewhat of a Free Republic route during the montage they played, I can't get too annoyed at them about it. After all, this is a show that has Deathpool Dave on as a guest -- he's a guy whose interviews and political opinions are both laughable. In other news, the Mega Millions jackpot is up to $325 million (I'd like to play those numbers) -- D&D interviewed the likely-to-be-misspelled Andi Brancato from the Michigan Lottery about the high jackpot figure. They should have inquired if there is a rule preventing someone from taking out a $325 million dollar loan to build a time machine. Other topics covered included a call-in segment about petty women, clips from yesterday's Plaxico Burress interview, another dog poop story, as well as a couple short blurbs about a (SCARY-ASS looking) hobo taser fire and a stupid pervert. Featured segments were, as listed on WCSX.com:

1. ROCHELLE RILEY - TEXTING WHILE DRIVING (video) - Rochelle Riley of the Detroit Free Press has a great column about texting while driving...take a couple of minutes and read it by clicking here.
**THIS VIDEO IS GRAPHIC IN NATURE - WAS MADE BY A HIGH SCHOOL IN GWENT, WALES TO SHOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN SOMEONE IS TEXTING AND DRIVING**
2. NICOLE EATS BALUT FRIDAY MORNING (pics) - Balut is a fertilized duck (or chicken) egg with a nearly-developed embryo inside that is boiled and eaten in the shell. It is commonly sold as street food in the Philippines. Balut is a common, everyday food in some other countries in Southeast Asia, such as Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Popularly believed to be an aphrodisiac and considered a high-protein, hearty snack, balut is mostly sold by street vendors in the regions where it is available.
**Disclaimer** WCSX is NOT responsible for gagging, choking, or throwing up in your mouth "a little bit."
3. DREAM CARS (podcast) - Very simple - if you could have the car of your dreams, what would it be? Listeners call in and tell D&D what their dream car is.
4. BEN BATOR AND LAUREN LETO (podcast) - Ben Bator and Lauren Leto were in studio this morning. They are the founders of a HILARIOUS website called www.textsfromlastnight.com.
5. ROCHELLE RILEY (podcast) - D&D talked to Rochelle Riley, of the Detroit Free Press. She wants to ban texting while driving. Then, an interesting question - what if there was a new technology that blocked ALL cell phone use in cars? Hmm...
6. DUSTY HILL (podcast) - D&D talk to Dusty Hill of ZZ Top. You can check out ZZ Top very soon! They are coming to The Fillmore in Detroit on Sept. 5.

D&D - Aug 25, 2009

Memo to any politician trying to push a viewpoint to the American public -- pay attention to Deminski & Doyle. Not because they have a political show, but because they don't. D&D represent middle America; though they both have stated that they voted for Obama, they are a couple of (I assume) mid-to-upper income white males who would hardly qualify as "big government" lefties. Political topics are rare on this show, and when they do appear, they are nearly always looked at from a non-partisan angle. Faces Not Numbers, for instance, included Michigan politicians from both sides of the aisle. I jokingly gloated a couple weeks ago about a "welcome tinge of liberalism" that snuck through, but a segment from this morning shows that the average American's views are not always restricted to one side of the partisan fence. Desensitized by repeated viewings of Jack Bauer's alternate universe, D&D defended the torture of human beings. "There's no allegation that...[it constitutes] torture," Doyle stated incorrectly, apparently forgetting about the Geneva Conventions. In his defense, questioning the actions of the CIA and humanizing suspected terrorists and insurgents are not easy things to do.

The "average" American is not someone who brings a gun to an Obama town hall, nor is it someone who has stickers from MoveOn.org on their car. The seemingly illogical person who is angered when Bernie Madoff tries to "pull a Lockerbie," but yet resists government regulations that would prevent the next Wall St. ponzi scheme? That's your "average American." I wonder, is it a generational thing -- do Baby Boomers and Generation X mistrust government because the only government they have ever known deserved mistrust? -- or is it an intrinsically American attribute to be instinctively suspicious of those in power?

Turning away from America (and back to today's show), there was a distinct international flavor to this morning's broadcast. We heard about British political-correctness gone crazy, jokes from a Scottish comedy festival, a story about an Australian butt-cam (SFW), an overweight airline passenger hoax from Italy, and a "Crazy Food" challenge to Nicole Salem featuring Filipino chicken fetuses. There were also a couple US-based topics -- Michael Jackson is back in the news (did he ever leave?) and two huge American clichés meet as a reality show contestant-turned-murderer ends up dead. Other topics covered included a suspicious wrong number text message to Jim's wife, a fantasy football call-in segment, and another look at bad cover songs. Web-worthy topics were, courtesy of WCSX.com:

1. Determine Your S.A.Q. - Sports Addiction Quotient (link) - How addicted to sports are you? Click here to find out!
2. JOHN MAYER PWNS ZZ TOP AND SLASH (video) - You may not like John Mayer, but in this video at The House Of Blues he gives ZZ Top and Slash a guitar lesson...Ralph Macchio and Steve Vai eat your hearts out!
3. VIGILANTE JUSTICE (podcast) - The grandfather who molested his own grandson was murdered...Vigilante justice? Or cold blooded murder? Do you even care if they catch the murderer?
4. JEFF DANIELS (podcast) - Jeff Daniels was on the show this morning! [This was at least the third time he's appeared on the show, including once at the old station.] Jeff will be playing an unplugged show at the Purple Rose Theatre in Chelsea August 26th thru the 29th...All proceeds will go to the Purple Rose Theatre...Tickets are available online at purplerosetheatre.org or by phone at (734) 433-7673.
5. MOVIES NEVER SEEN (podcast) - There is a couple that Jeff knows who has a laundry list of box office blockbusters they have never seen....Including The Godfather, Jaws, Goodfellas...FAIL!

(AFAIK this is real): Shepherd's Hill Pooper Scoopers (WCSX Workforce Business of the Day)

D&D - Aug 24, 2009

Made a few more changes to this morning's show audio during "post-production". We're still using the listener-made "remixed" intro mentioned last week and we're still pulling the majority of the music out, but we also added back in the Forrest Gump / Goodfellas sign-off that got dropped today for some unknown reason. We're also cutting the commercials down a bit -- the same PSAs over and over and getting annoying and they aren't really true D&D sponsors that you can go out and patronize (see the long list at left for better examples). Feel free to leave comments with other suggestions!

The show today was pretty interesting; topics covered included Deminski and his technophobia over Facebook and Twitter, a couple call-in segments about concert etiquette and sleepwalking, a bit more coverage of the health care debate (now with local flavor), two stories about lighting things -- a 14-year-old girl and Rudy's gas can -- on fire, and a couple short quips about a bathroom prank gone wrong and some disgusting survey results. Dan Marshall from Country Club Limousines, today's Workforce Business of the Day winner, and Michael Tunison, author of "The Football Fan's Manifesto" were interviewed as well; Michael provided an exception to the rule that interviews always make it onto the podcast page. Segments that were interesting enough to be listed online were, as decided by the staffers of WCSX.com:

1. CAPTION CONTEST (pic) - If you can come up with the most creative caption for this picture we will send ya a D&D coffee mug! Included in this photo Jim O'Brien, Rudy, and Jason Carr...
2. WHO GETS THE SEX TAPES? (podcast) - Believe it or not - this is becoming common. Couples getting divorced are actually going to court to decide who gets to keep the "Bedroom Videos."
3. CRICKET DARE (podcast) - Rudy was offered $20.00 to eat a cricket on the radio...AND HE FAILED! Nicole steps in and does it for NOTHIN'...shame on Rudy...shame! D&D offered Rudy $20 to eat a Bacon and Cheese seasoned cricket. Rudy chickened out. Nicole Salem on the other hand - ate a handful of them for FREE! Don't forget to see the picture of Nicole wearing her "Bubba" teeth while eating a cricket. Rudy - FAIL.
4. ARE WE IN IT FOR THE CRASHES? (podcast) - Things like the Selfridge Air Show, and Nascar races - aren't we all just in it because we want to see a crash? Does a small part of us hope to see a disaster?
5. PROPOSAL STORIES (podcast) - Another guy just made the news for a crazy, attention-whoring marriage proposal. Doesn't that make the rest of us guys look bad?
6. BJ NOVAK (podcast) - You know him as Ryan, from The Office, and he's also in this weekend's number 1 movie - Inglorious Bastards. BJ Novak called in to chat with D&D.

Country Club Limousines (WCSX Workforce Business of the Day)

D&D - Aug 21, 2009

This was a pretty busy show for a Friday. There were lots of interviews (see official podcasts below), a long intra-office discussion between Jeff, Bill, and Rudy about Entertainment Weekly's "Guilty Music Pleasures" bracket, harsh admonishings of Rudy for leaving yesterday's Tigers' game early and Nicole for receiving a speeding ticket (finally!), a list of Ten Surprising Foods on a Stick from Woman's Day (new MAN LAW, no sourcing Woman's Day on the D&D Show), as well as a handful of quick little segments at the very beginning of the show: John Cleese got screwed in his divorce, an ungrateful skydiver sued the guy who saved her life, Jon Stewart gave his take on Cash for Clunkers, and the guys from ZZ Top did something stupid a long time ago. Other topic covered were, courtesy of WCSX.com:

1. NILS LOFGREN FROM THE E-STREET BAND (podcast) - This morning D&D talked to Nils Lofgren guitar player from The E-Street Band...He talked about Springsteen, and his early days on the road...[and Jeff need to go buy his solo record!]
2. LISTENER JAY "THE CABLE GUY" ON MAN VS. FOOD! (podcast) - Jay is a listener and friend of the show...Jay got picked to be on Man vs. Food to try and eat the 180lb burger in Southgate...Well not by himself, but with a team...
3. LOCKERBIE BOMBER (podcast) - They released the Lockerbie Bomber...Should a terminally ill murderer be released from prison on compassionate grounds?
4. JACKIE FLYNN (podcast) - Comedian Jackie Flynn was in studio this morning…Early on in his career, Jackie was discovered on stage in Boston by the Farrelly brothers, who have since cast him in back to back roles in "King Pin," "There's Something About Mary," "Me, Myself And Irene," "Shallow Hal," and "Stuck On You," where he played opposite pop-diva Cher. Jackie will be at The Ann Arbor Comedy Showcase August 21st & 22nd...

American Blinds, Wallpaper & More (WCSX Workforce Business of the Day)

D&D - Aug 20, 2009

D&D keep mentioning that they need to change their intro again -- a fellow listener posted a "remixed" intro to the Yahoo Group a while back and while it's a little bit longer than the current "official" one, I like it better so I'm going to graft if on to the beginning of the Hour 1 recordings every day until they change it. Like Doyle, I miss the Dirty Deeds' AC/DC parody theme. Anyway...very full show today. There were a bunch of local topics covered today, including an arson spike in Michigan due to the economy, the story of the local 12-year-old arrested for murder, an argument between Jim O'Brien and Uncle Buck about being "one of those" crazy sports parents, and a possible change to Michigan high school math requirements that prompted Deminski to have a quick call-in trick math quiz. They also had listeners call in for a Tigers' mystery fan game, a discussion about leaving dogs in hot cars (inspired, of course, by Nicole), a sleeper-type personality quiz, and during a segment about stealing cars during a test drive. There were also a few small stories about a hungry woman at the Iowa State Fair, a deserved mocking directed toward a right-wing nutjob by Congressman Barney Frank, and Google's threat to decades-old communication monopolies. Web-worthy topics were, as decided by WCSX.com:

1. AWESOME HOMELESS GUY SIGNS (link) - Now days, being homeless is more competitive than ever. Only the most clever and creative signs are going to get people to let go of their precious spare change. This makes for some pretty awesome homeless dude signage. Check out the signs here!
2. IS SHE A HE? (link) - The 18-year-old 800m gold medal favorite has burst on to the world scene in recent months, with her appearance, including obvious facial hair, and muscular build igniting speculation about her gender. Judge for yourself here!
3. GAUGING YOUR DISTRACTION (link) - New studies show that drivers overestimate their ability to multitask behind the wheel. This game measures how your reaction time is affected by external distractions. Regardless of your results, experts say, you should not attempt to text when driving. Try out the game!
4. THISISPHOTOBOMB.COM (link) - Mentioned by Doyle on the air, this NSFW website is about as addicting as any "funny photo" website can be on the Internet. And it's blocked by my company's firewall -- awwww, dangit!
5. BOOZE A KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTY? (podcast) - Would you allow alcohol at your kid’s birthday party? Keep in mind we are talking toddlers...and this would be for the adults...Or is the party supposed to be all about the kids?
6. THE FART MACHINE (podcast) - Jeff bought his son a fart machine...Harmless right? Well Jeff insisted that his son bring it to pre-school...What could go wrong?

Cartwright's Carpet and Upholstery (WCSX Workforce Business of the Day)

D&D - Aug 19, 2009

Pretty standard pop culture show today. D&D touched on music (another round of musical Play the Numbers and a story about the Beatles Rockband game), TV and movies (a clip from The Daily Show, a movie theater rant from a critic, and a Richard Hatch update), and sports (Nick Schuyler's interview on HBO's Real Sports, a funny Brett Favre montage, and a story about Lenny Dykstra's dog). Other segments included more Detroit-area "Missed Connections" from Craigslist, an interview with Dave Motoligin from Alex Motoligin & Associates Florists (today's Workforce Business of the Day winner), a discussion on whether the Cash For Clunkers program should have been more pro-Big Three, and a couple little stories about a family eating their dog and the new possibility of faking DNA evidence. Podcast-worthy topics were, as listed on WCSX.com:

1. RATS IN ALLEN PARK- OH MY! (podcast) - The city of Allen Park is having problem with RATS! You could call an exterminator - or you could call Nicole Salem! She keeps them as pets!
2. HEATHER CATALLO (podcast) - WXYZ Channel 7's Heather Catallo called in to talk about her report on the arrest of an internet predator in Howell. Scary stuff!
3. EXPENSIVE DOGS (podcast) - While many people choose to adopt their beloved canine pals from a shelter or a rescue - some people would rather spend an arm and a leg on their pup. Wait till you hear what some of these callers paid for their dogs!!
4. SLEEP STUDY (podcast) - According to a new study - 6 hours is NOT enough sleep - yes some people get even less than that! How much sleep do you get?

Holistic Touch (WCSX Workforce Business of the Day)

D&D - Aug 17, 2009

The Deminski & Doyle Show is once again no longer available live on an FM band outside of the Detroit metro area. Their week-long stint (trial run?) with WTKK in Boston has ended and, unfortunately, this meant the reintroduction of segment-bashing music. At least one of the songs they played was by Weird Al. I don't have so much a problem with playing a song by an artist who was just interviewed -- or who Doyle just gave a sleep-deprived concert review of -- or the whole "be caller 11 NOW to win tickets to go see THESE GUYS!" shtick. It's just annoying when they're made to play music to fill time. These guys are professionals who have done a four hour talk radio show for years, they don't need filler. Anyway...sorry to rant again. They had some good call-in topics today; aside from the "one TV bet" segment listed below, they also had callers revisit their first concert memory, admit to dumb stuff done while driving, and give testimonials on the Russian Roulette game we call the American health system. Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (best known as Mr. Eko from lost, now starring as Heavy Duty in G.I. Joe) called in to see if Jeff could pronounce his name correctly (and sparked a discussion between the men about classic toys and dolls action figures), Michael Vick went on 60 Minutes as part of his Image Rehabilitation Tour, and Doyle is fascinated with a rat-eating plant (look out, Trevor!)...other topics from this morning were, courtesy of WCSX.com:

1. WEIRD AL "CNR" (video link) - Check out the new single from Weird Al "CNR." We give this one two thumbs up in snap formation!
2. PARTY AT DEMINSKI'S GET'S OUT OF CONTROL (podcast) - Last weekend, Deminski had a party at his house, Nicole Salem showed up and as it turns out - so did the cops! And no, it wasn't because they heard about "Super Bonus Points." COLLOSSAL FAIL.
3. RAY TABANO (podcast) - D&D Spoke with Ray Tabano - a former member of AEROSMITH, before they made it big. Now he is working as a caterer in Yonkers, NY.
4. DOES ANYONE OWN ONLY 1 TV? (podcast) - Bill Doyle finds it VERY hard to believe that there is anyone left in the world that only has one TV in their entire household. Turns out - he couldn't be more wrong!
5. TAKE A SPIN WITH NICOLE (video of Nicole) - Join the vitaminwater10 crew with Metro Detroit's hottest spinning instructor Jimmy Wilde and 94.7 WCSX morning traffic girl Nicole Salem Saturday, august 15th at the WCSX stage area at the Birmingham Cruise Event. Watch the video with Nicole Salem to find out more!

Black Ink Geeks (WCSX Workforce Business of the Day)

D&D - Aug 14, 2009

Casual "déjà vu" Friday show today. To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, D&D replayed a 3-way interview from a couple months ago they did with three guys who played at the festival. They also had saxophonist Alto Reed in the studio for a second time (no speeding tickets or in-studio sax playing this time). And inspired by a Minnesota story, Doyle again flashed back to his days in Catholic school and the crazy nuns he once knew. Play the Numbers was revisited as well (I actually got this one!) and today's Workforce Business of the Day interview was with DJ Loco Joe from DJDiscJockey.com. A few of the smaller stories mentioned this morning included Stewie Griffin's coming-out, a new Wolfenstein game, and a couple Michael Vick stories (60 Minutes interview and PETA protest). Other topics covered were, courtesy of WCSX.com:

1. EDDIE VAN HALEN AND LES PAUL (video) - The great Eddie Van Halen plays a tribute to Les Paul! Check out this awesome video!
2. BARBARA CORCORAN "SHARK TANK" (podcast) - One of the "sharks" from ABC's "Shark Tank" Barbara Corcoran gave us a call this morning...This show involves inventors attempting to pitch their ideas to would be investors...So Doyle seized the opportunity to pitch "The Gamer Trough." [They started the interview late and she trashed the GT -- EPIC DOUBLE FAIL!]
3. PETER FRAMPTON ON LES PAUL (podcast) - Guitar Great Peter Frampton called in this morning to speak on the passing of Les Paul...Les Paul was a pioneer in the development of the solid-body electric guitar which "made the sound of rock and roll possible." He is credited with inventing or discovering many recording innovations including overdubbing (also known as sound on sound), delay effects such as tape delay, phasing effects, and multitrack recording. Les Paul 1915-2009.
4. DAN SHAUGNESSY (podcast) - Dan is a writer and fellow media member...But he is a Red Sox homer...He wrote a revision about the Youk-Porcello take-down...Claiming Youk took down Porcello "like a baby calf!" What game were you watching dude?
5. BOSTONISMS (podcast) - Since D&D were on in Boston this week they decided to see if some of these Bostonisms were true...Rudy was no help...Usually never is...But at least they got some calls from "Bean Town," to confirm!

DJDiscJockey.com (WCSX Workforce Business of the Day)

D&D - Aug 13, 2009

Mr. Deminski has not had a whole lot of luck the last few days. First he masculinized a female caller yesterday, then his attempt to have his nerves soothed about his son's errr...digestive issues this morning backfired, and later on in the show he recounted how the segment they did on Tuesday about the VIP hospital care available to Boston-area pro sports teams' season ticket holders was heard by the Greater Media CEO, in the aforementioned Boston-area hospital, where he is on the Board of Directors. Talk about getting caught with your pants down, Jeff! Just don't go all Ed Offord on us, dude.

Other, non-depressed-downer-Deminski topics from today's show included a couple call-in segments (about male babysitters and imprisoning parents for their kids' indiscretions), a discussion about artistic license in books and movies (edit 8/14: this is the article Doyle mentioned), a clip from the Daily Show of Obama "doing a Biden," as well as a a few short blurbs about a PETA protest against a new Adam Sandler / Kevin James movie, a Best Buy "oopsie," and an excuse for playing fantasy football. Web-worthy topics included, as listed on WCSX.com:

1. MARK ARMINSKI - IN STUDIO (pics) - One of the greatest poster and handbill designers of our time in studio!...he's hosting "Rewind After Hours: The Art of Rock and Roll" at the Henry Ford Museum NEXT Thursday - we'll have tickets for the event AND he's going to bring in one of his prints to sign and give away...check out some of his work below. Check out Mark's official website! Mark will also be appearing at The Henry Ford Museum next week!
2. PURSUIT ENDS IN CRASH, EXPLOSION (video) - A police pursuit on Detroit's west side led to fiery crash and explosion Thursday morning. SkyFOX captured video of a pursuit Thursday morning as a fleeing vehicle sped down Michigan Avenue near Livernois. Trying to avoid an oncoming vehicle, the driver lost control and slammed into another truck before exploding.
3. DOGS GET OUT OF HAND! (video) - Local BC noon anchor Randene Neill tries to handle Ginger, a dog looking to be adopted from the SPCA. What ensues during the segment is pure hilarity. Check out the video!
4. RUDE CONGRESSWOMAN! (video) - Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee talks on the phone as a woman asks a question at a town hall event...Talk about rude! At least order a pizza for everyone Spicoli!
5. DOG ATTACKS (podcast) - Pit Bulls get alot of negative press. So to be fair, D&D took phonecalls about people being bitten by SMALL, seemingly non vicious dogs. Who knew little dogs could do so much damage?
6. LINK CHRISTIN (podcast) - D&D talked to one of the passengers that was trapped on the airplane for over 9 hours - even though the terminal was just a few yards away!!
7. NICOLE WALKS IN ON A GUY (podcast) - Nicole Salem is good at causing embarassing (sic) situations. This time, she walked in on a guy using a public unisex bathroom at a gas station. FAIL.

LaPrise Painting (WCSX Workforce Business of the Day)

P.S. R.I.P Les Paul...six points for me.

D&D - Aug 12, 2009

Today's show featured a welcome tinge of liberalism. For example, topics covered included the new 230 mpg electric Chevy Volt (for more technical aspects of the Volt, watch a clip of yesterday's Rachel Maddow Show here), yesterday's Obama town hall (I agree with Lawrence O'Donnell, nearly all people have a lot more respect for the office of the President than they do for members of Congress), the 40th anniversary of the hippie-fest known as Woodstock, as well as a discussion about the traditional roles of men and women in the home. D&D revisited the horrible Killers' "Hotel California" cover from Monday and played a few clips of lounge act cover artist Richard Cheese (umm...your name is "dick cheese?" [possible NSFW]). They also covered a few local stories -- the debate over toll roads in Michigan, an interview with Joseph Longo from Warren Doors (today's Workforce Business of the Day winner), plus a couple Parent of the Year stories from Utica and Windsor. Other "featured" topics were, courtesy of WCSX.com:

1. WALK4FRIENDSHIP 2009 (link) - If you'd like to donate to the 2009 Walk4Friendship to benefit the Friendship Circle - click here.
2. BEN WALLACE IS BACK...SORTA (pic) - Ben Wallace is back with the Pistons...check out this EPIC FAIL on the part of Channel 7...Nice picture of Rasheed Wallace!
3. PORCELLO 1 YOUKILIS 0 (video) - There were some great ones! Ali vs. Frazier, Rocky vs. Apollo, Probert vs. Domi, Godzilla vs. Mothra, and now Porcello vs Youkilis! The tale of the tape looks like this...Rick Porcello is 21 and stands 6'5" 200lbs and Kevin Youkilis is 30 and stands 6'1" 220lbs...Youkilis not only did you get beaned, but you received the most "electrifying" move in sports entertainment (The Rock Bottom) from a guy 20lbs lighter than you!
4. KATE HANNI-FLYER'S RIGHTS (podcast) - Kate Hanni is an advocate for flyer's getting stranded in planes...Man does she have some horror stories! Don't you hate being stranded on a plane for hours with the terminal in sight? There needs to be something done! D&D talked to Kate, the director of Flyer's Rights...check out their website!
5. DRINKING WITH YOUR KIDS (podcast) - Some experts recommend you let your kids drink underage and drink with them? Where were these people when we were young? At what age were you allowed to drink? Did your parents let you have some wine at dinner? Is it safer introducing your children to alcohol at a young age? Check out this article!
6. JAIL OVER CHILD SUPPORT (podcast) - A man spent a year in jail over child support for a kid that wasn't even his! Has this ever happenedto you or anyone you know? You should have called Maury earlier dude!
7. WARREN MOON (podcast) - D&D spoke with Hall Of Fame Quarterback Warren Moon...Moon has a book out called "Never Give Up On Your Dream: My Journey."
8. RUDY'S PROBLEM (podcast) - Rudy just became a homeowner a few weeks ago…Now he thinks squirrels are eating his grass? Oh yeah, remember the friend who wanted to store a jet-ski in Rudy's garage? Well it's been longer than 2 weeks and the jet-ski is still there! FAIL!

Warren Door (Sterling Heights, not Ohio) - (WCSX Workforce Business of the Day)

D&D - Aug 11, 2009

We definitely had a nice surprise the last couple days -- D&D have actually been able to have a talk show instead of worrying about spinning a certain number of records each hour. The longer, D&D-esque segments are back -- this includes both the call-in segments (such as podcasts #3 and #4 below or a discussion on paycuts vs. job losses) and the intra-studio bickering and joking (á la podcast #2 below or this morning's arguments about post-sleep peeing priority, the concept of "plane prisons," or professional players' practitioners producing VP patient privileges). Other points put up during today's program ranged from a cross-dressing wife-killer, a mistranslation that ruffled Hillary Clinton, the death of the Governator's M.I.L., a bit of a Joe Perry interview with Ken Calvert from yesterday, a clip from Who Wants to be a Thousandaire, and something uninteresting about Olivia Newton John's husband. Podcast-worthy topics from today were, as stolen from WCSX.com:

1. CHEECH AND CHONG (podcast) - Cheech and Chong called in to today's show!! You can see them tonight on VH1's "Lords of The Revolution" at 8pm.
2. THE IMMIGRANT TEST (podcast) - Do Rudy and Nicole deserve to be US citizens? D&D gave them a portion of an immigration test. EPIC FAIL. We'll see if Nicole is still laughing when she gets deported...
3. INJURY BY FRIEND (podcast) - A funny news story got D&D talking about being on the receiving end of an injury - that a friend caused! Psst...Don’t be friends with Jim O'Brien.
4. SEX ON THE FIRST DATE (podcast) - Jim O'Brien and Jeff Deminski had a bet going - is it possible to have a healthy long term relationship with someone if you sleep with them on the first date? [note: listen as Rudy's mic accidentally clicks on and we hear him cuss out screen callers in the background.]
5. D-list week of 8/10 (video) - Weekly D&D update video.

Unique Tanning (WCSX Workforce Business of the Day)

D&D - Aug 10, 2009

Wow has this show evolved. Their FCC complaints used to be about Dirty Sanchezes and Cleveland Steamers and now people are complaining about a rant against bicyclists? C'mon, we all know the only reason you ride a bike to work is because your license got taken away after your last DUI. The guy they interviewed today wasn't just a dick, he was a nervous dick. Come to think of it, maybe the issue here is not that the show has changed since 2002 (though of course it has), rather perhaps bicyclists (and Americans in general) are too self-absorbed and self-centric and just appalled when someone calls them out on their bullshit. Other (obviously less important) topics covered today included a couple quizzes for Rudy (texting shorthand and rock band "madien names"), a couple Stupid Nicole Stories, a disturbing 911 call from a guy who pushed his girlfriend out a window, a horrible cover of and Eagles song, new anti-smoking job requirements, as well as a couple short blurbs about "tainted" houses for sale and canine intelligence. David Sklena, owner of Doc Sweets' Candy (today's Workforce Business of the Day winner) popped on the air as well to plug his shop. Other segments were (courtesy of WCSX.com):

1. WTKK (link) - D&D are begin simulcasted on Greater Media's Boston-based sister station 96.9 WTKK this week while Don "Nappy Roots" Imus is on vacation. Good for Jeff & Bill to get some more exposure and possibly some new listeners (especially nice to see them back on an all-talk station), but could they maybe get to sub on something other than a conservative, ultra right-wing station next time?
2. BIKE GATE: WEEK 2 (podcast) - D&D spoke with Paul Alman from the Washtenaw Bicycling and Walking Coalition about our discussion last week regarding bicyclists and safety...[also, here are a few of the anti-D&D blogs, newspaper articles, and e-mail list postings that have popped up.]
3. BOWEN KERINS (podcast) - D&D talked to Bowen Kerins - world pinball champ from Salem, Massachusetts. So is it a "sport," something takes skill - or is it just a game? [I'm not sure myself, but like some sports, it is something that causes people to swear on the air.]
4. ROD ALLEN (podcast) - Rod Allen called in for his weekly Tigers report - will we continue our streak against the Red Sox? Rod also talked about being at Fenway Park.

Doc Sweets Candy (WCSX Workforce Business of the Day)

D&D - Aug 7, 2009

With apologies to Stephen Lynch, here's (the beginning of) my tribute to John Hughes:

John Hughes is dead and gone
But his movies still live on
And Lisa's still hot, but she's a robot
So I'd much rather ride with Sloan

As Doyle mentioned, not only were his movies classics, but they were very quotable as well -- hence the multiple drops throughout the show. Controversies were also scattered throughout this morning; Nicole laughed at child abuse (see #1 below), Deminski angered some militant bikers bicyclists, and Rudy is going to name his new band after an area known for their sex offender population. Other topics mentioned were this weekend's Dearborn Homecoming party (featuring a drinking contest between Rudy and Nicole), the recent hacker attack against Twitter and Facebook, a re-enactment of the too-fat-to-take-roadside-sobriety-tests legal defense from yesterday, and a quick story about a British lampoon who had his long duck dong lit on fire like sixteen candles after menacing some unsuspecting patrons of a Greek bar. D&D also spoke to Jim Selke, owner of Classic Lanes, today's Workforce Business of the Day winner. Podcast-worthy topics were, courtesy of WCSX.com:

1. KID DRAGGED ON A LEASH (link / CNN video) - A mom is arrested after dragging her son through a store on a leash. Did she go too far? Checkout the video! [And listen at the beginning of the 7am hour as Nicole finds humor in child abuse.]
2. BRENDA COLYER (podcast) - D&D got in tough with Brenda Colyer, whose son Henry was viciously attacked and beaten while delivering pizza. Kid Rock made an "anonymous" donation to Henry Colyer - but the word of his good deed eventually leaked out.
3. STANLEY CUP CRASHER (podcast) - D&D talked to a guy named Ryan, who somehow snuck into the Penguins locker room as they were celebrating their Stanley Cup win - and get this - Ryan got to celebrate with them and no one noticed he didn’t belong!
4. PLAY THE NUMBERS (podcast) - D&D played a particularly difficult round of Play The Numbers today. One lucky listener just might have that winning Michigan Lottery ticket!

Man, everybody was running late this morning. Detroit City Council leading vote-getter Charles Pugh, comedian Jim Gaffigan, me, the bus driver, God, y'know, everybody. At least Matt Servitto and Denise Cook from Salon D'MARS (today's Workforce Business of the Day winner) answered their phones. Other segments from this morning's show included a couple national news stories (former President Clinton's successful North Korea trip and an update to the Pittsburgh-area fitness center crazy women-hating shooter story), as well as a couple blurbs about a drunk fat guy beating a DUI, Cash for Imported Clunkers, and a rundown of the stupidest celebrity contract riders. Lengthier topics were, as listed on WCSX.com:

1. HOT FOR TEACHER (link) - Believe it or not a news radio station is allowing people to rate female teachers who slept with students on a 1 to 5 scale! Journalism at it's finest! Check it out!
2. DEBBIE STABENOW FIGHTS BACK (Daily Kos link / video) - Check out Debbie Stabenow completely pwning this [FAUX] News host...And listen to how he apparently invents breaking news [new video on "Shark Week"] in order to get out of it! Go Debbie! [And go D&D for the Daily Kos link!]
3. KID DRAGGED ON A LEASH (link / CNN video) - A mom is arrested after dragging her son through a store on a leash. Did she go too far? Check out the video!
4. BEST CAR TO MAKE OUT IN? (podcast) - With D&D having their Drive in Movie/Super Bonus Points night tonight - they thought they would ask which car listeners think is the best to make out in?
5. MATT SERVITTO (podcast) - Rumor has it...That there is going to be a Sopranos movie! We got ahold of Matt Servitto and pestered him forsome details.
6. MARK FARNER (podcast) - Mark Farner checked in with the guys today, and D&D want to know - When is Grand Funk reuniting? Mark also gave us a glimpse into the tour life.

D&D - Aug 5, 2009

[8:09am - Just a heads-up -- we had some Internet issues this morning, so until my backup source gets off work tonight, today's show will be missing from about 6:30am until about 7:45am. If anyone else could get us an audio source sooner, that'd be awesome. :^]

[12:18am - UPDATE: Finally got home and got this damn thing updated, sorry, forgot I had plans tonight...new links are below]

Happy Hump-day, all. As I wrote earlier, the primary audio source that we use had Internet issues, so we're still missing a little over an hour of the show. This should be fixed by tonight. In the meantime, two segments that didn't get recorded were made into WCSX podcasts on the official website -- see #1 and #3 below. Y'know, other radio shows I listen to have subscription services where they offer full-show podcasts. I'm conflicted; I'd jump right on this if it was something D&D offered, but then this website would become obsolete. :) We'll just have to see...anyway, here are a few other topics that were covered on the show this morning (at least between 6-6:30am or between 7:40-9:03am): a Cash for Clunkers used VHS/DVD movie drive, a Dear-Abby-I'm-a-Slut letter, and another D & De-rive In Double-Feature movie quiz / ticket giveaway, as well as a couple short local blurbs about the Detroit election results and a Dearborn got who got hit by plane poop. Podcast-worthy topics (as so deemed by WCSX.com) were:

1. RUDY'S GROSS-OUT (podcast) - It normally takes a lot to offend Rudy...He is obsessed with horror flicks and serial killers...but people who urinate in the shower turns his stomach?
2. BICYCLISTS [updated link] (podcast) - Jeff Deminski hates bicyclists! They are road hogs, and never obey the rules of the road...Some states are considering laws that you can't throw things at them...[don't forget to read Jeff's blog rant from last year on this topic!]
3. LOCAL ARMED ROBBERIES (podcast) - There have been a few stories in the news about some local armed robberies...Have you ever been robbed at gun point? What did you do? If you haven't...What would you do?
4. BRIAN PELIONE (podcast) - Brian is from Warren and a huge Boston Red Sox fan...So he built a replica of the "Green Monster" in his front yard! How cool is that? Especially playing home run derby! Nice work Brian!
5. KIDS & CELL PHONES (podcast) - Would you give your child their own personal cell phone? We are talking 8-11 year olds...There was a survey that says one in four 8 to 11 year olds has a cell phone! This just in...Sexting on the rise!

D&D - Aug 4, 2009

The WCSX webstream must be updating their infomercial database again -- we got another Mirror Day where the over-the-air commercials were played over-the-tubes. We cut out a lot of them (duplicates, evil corporations, etc.), but there are still a tad more ads than normal -- if you don't like it, hit fast-forward, but karma would prefer if you patronized the D&D Show sponsors. On another note, it seems like perhaps TPTB may have listened to the listeners...the last couple shows have seemed "fuller" -- they've had more content, funnier bits, and less music. Keep it up, guys. Topics covered today ranged from the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything in Deminski's dream, Nicole contemplating suicide (but not really), Ryan O'Neal's vomit-inducing creepiness, a discussion about game show hosts, and insta-fail job application requirements. The best part of today's show was, in my opinion, the J. Chris Newburg interview -- not sure why this wasn't made into an official podcast, but it was a very unusual interview (you'll just have to listen for yourself). Craig Simmons from All Species Animal Control, today's Workforce Business of the Day winner, also popped on to manwhore his company. Other segments from this morning were (thanks to WCSX.com):

1. REGIFTING ROBIN (link) - Check out this mind-trip game...Eat your heart out Criss Angel! [hint: z = 10x + y]
2. BLIND JUST-US (podcast) - Jim O'Brien came up with a fun new game. It involves wearing a blindfold and answering really embarassing questions. Fun!!!
3. MOVIE TRIVIA FOR SUPER BONUS POINTS! (podcast) - To give away more free movie passes for this Thursday's drive in movie/Super Bonus Points night, D&D trusted Rudy with a game of movie trivia. EPIC FAIL.
4. BILL DILLON (podcast) - Can you imagine spending 27 years in prison for a crime you didn't commit? D&D talked to a man that DID.
5. ROD ALLEN (podcast) - FSD's Rod Allen called in with his weekly Tiger's report. Rod also told us what he thinks about the trade deadline acquisitions.
6. D-list Week of 8/3/09 (video) - Weekly D&D update video.

D&D - Aug 3, 2009

Very good show today, whole lot of funny segments. People have ripped on Nicole Salem for what they view as her lack of contribution to the show (forgetting that her actual job is to do traffic and weather reports), but she is an excellent, mostly good-natured target for jokes (e.g. the follow-up to the "choking chihuahua CPR" story today). I once described Rudy as the "bitch" of the show, but he's playing this role less and less -- I don't know about what went on behind the scenes last week, but he seemed to do a pretty good job filling in as producer. Topics today ranged from brief headline mentions (the head-shaped urns and Tiger Woods' flatulence) to many call-in segments, including the aforementioned pet CPR story, a tally of annoying celebrities, an on-air clunker car qualification test, and another Super Bonus Point Drive-In Spectacular ticket giveaway. Ton of (interesting) interviews in the 8 o'clock hour -- Ken from VanEx Fire Systems, today's Workforce Business of the Day winner, SuperSize Scott plugging a suicide prevention charity walk, and the returning champion, stand-up comedian Mike Stanley. Here is a link to the Mike Stanley podcast from 2007 mentioned during today's show (actually, I almost forgot that I was about to upload the entire 10/4/07 D&D show from WXYT thanks to another fellow D&D fan). Podcast-worthy segments from today were, courtesy of WCSX.com:

1. D&D "SUPER BONUS POINT" MOVIE THEATRE NIGHT THURSDAY (link) - How would you like to join us for another D&D "Super Bonus Point" night? this time it's a free drive-in movie at the VERY COOL Compuware Arena Drive-In in Plymouth — click here for more info on the drive in — and LISTEN TOMORROW MORNING FOR YOUR CHANCE TO WIN!!
2. SUPERSIZE SCOTT'S CHARITY WALK (link) - Our buddy Supersize Scott is doing a charity walk for the "Out of The Darkness" charity walk [for suicide prevention] on September 13th - click here to sponsor Scott.
3. NICOLE IN THE FREE PRESS (article) - Thanks to BJ Hammerstein of the Detroit Free Press for mentioning Nicole’s "Chihuahua Challenge!" [Full text of the article can be read at the link above or read the original article here.]
4. JEFF & THE RACCOON (podcast) - On his way to work this morning, Jeff Deminski accidently hit and (he's pretty sure) killed a raccoon. This brings up the topic of doing a "mercy kill." Things get wonderfully disturbing from there!
5. NAME THAT MOVIE FOR DRIVE IN TICKETS (podcast) - D&D are hosting a drive-in movie night at Compuware in Plymouth this Thursday. Listeners called in to play a fun game to win tickets.
6. MIKE STANLEY (podcast) - D&D had comedian Mike Stanley in studio this morning. He's a local guy, and if you haven't heard him - He's HILARIOUS.
