D&D - Sept 11, 2009

We had another one of those "very special announcements" from D&D right at the end of the show today -- we know what happened after the last one of those. Jason Carr had signed off for the final time thirty minutes beforehand, so I was fairly sure this announcement would have something to do with his departure. Well WCSX (or Greater Media) failed to follow my kill-the-sports-reports suggestion and decided to hire Jamie Samuelson (-sen?) as Jason's replacement. Not a wholly unpredictable move, especially since Jamie worked for Greater Media as recently as July (BTW - I stumbed upon a Drew & Mike/Zip/Jamie audio archive in case anyone is interested). And as for the last "very special announcement" that circumsized the D&D show back in April -- Jeff stated today that they're "working on getting that back." Seems easy enough to infer, based on context, that he was talking about the 9am hour.

As for the show today -- there was obviously a lot of 9/11 anniversary topics. Along with the standard "Where Were You?" call-in segment and the interview with the 9/11 survivor podcast listed below, the crew told their own stories about that day. Other longer segments today ranged from Rudy gloating about his pir4t3 sk1llz (Rudy gon' get raped!) to an in-studio appearance by comic David Dyer. There were also some smaller, Friday-esque news items, including a local Oedipussian story that will make some therapist rich, another update on Tila Tequila (why?), a report about a guy (maybe a relative of Taryn's?) who really, really wanted to be Alice in Wonderland, a farting Austrian (no not that one), an update on the is-she-a-he track star, and a few end-of-show filler stories from Doyle -- mice can levitate, former football player Orlando Brown is nasty, and the dick-chop is worthy of indefinite detention. Web-worthy topics were, as selected by the pimps and whores over at WCSX.com:
