D&D - Sept 15, 2009

This was a very odd show today. Not to bore anyone, but editing the show audio every day has given me a little insight into how the D&D Show is typically formatted. There's usually nine commercial breaks; the ones at 7am and 8am we usually pull out completely and the others are shortened. This makes for a nice, four-part three-part archive of the show. I'm not sure what the reasoning was, but today's show featured only six commercial breaks and they ran upwards of 9 1/2 minutes. The webstream must not be formatted correctly either, because there were some long gaps during some of the breaks (I noticed this yesterday as well). The commercial breaks at the end of each hour were removed, that's why the three parts to today's show aren't even close to the same size / length. Not sure if this has something to do with the elongated sports reports or not, but I did notice that Jamie Samuelsen has been given the title of "Sports Director" for the show.

Highlights from today's show included a lot of audio-based segments; there were replays of parts of a profanity-laced (but in a good way) off-air interview Jim O'Brien did with MMA fighter Kimbo Slice, a clip from Inside the Actors Studio featuring the cast of Family Guy (I'll be TiVO'ing this), audio from a few "Hot Chicks in Black & White Flicks" videos, an interview the guys found online with old fart anti-MMA boxing promoter Bob Arum, and a clip from musical comedian Mike Rayburn. The only call-in segment not make into an official podcast was a long discussion with "Professor Rudy" about freemasons and Dan Brown's new book. The guys pointed out how Jay Leno bashed the Lions during the first episode of his new show; Kanye "Jackass" West also appeared with Jay last night. And oh yeah, Patrick Swayze is dead -- D&D played the same sappy memorial montage twice, so I changed it up a bit the second time around. Web-worthy segments were, as selected by the drunken monkeys over at WCSX.com:

1. WHICH UFC FIGHTER ARE YOU? (link) - Take this personality quiz to find out which UFC fighter you resemble...Jim O'Brien is Tito Jackson...Oops Tito Ortiz...Our bad...

4. DOYLE'S DINE AND DASH?

6. WHITNEY HOUSTON'S SPITTING STORY (podcast) - The Bobby Brown Whitney Houston saga continues...Whitney went on Oprah and told a story of Bobby Brown at one time spitting on her...Rudy thinks that is the worst possible thing that can be done to a human...Even more than getting punched in the face, or calling someone a "son of a motherless goat"...Although a close second could be forcing someone to listen to My Prerogative on repeat!
