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?
