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.
