D&D - Top 9 of 2009 - #6

Yesterday's entry in the Top Nine "Shows" of 2009 countdown included Pistons- and Tigers-related broadcasts, so today the Red Wings get their turn. While D&D didn't have any remote broadcasts, they had a TON of contests during the 2009 playoff run. April 16 was the first of several shows that contained games that, more often than not, were designed to make Rudy look like a fool but also resulted in a bunch of listeners scoring playoff tickets or other awesome prizes. This show specifically stood out due to the other segments -- Kirk Maltby hopped on the air to talk hockey with D&D, Rudy explains his desire to own weird (and possibly illegal) weapons, and the classic "Fatwa!" segment was featured. This is what we wrote about this show at the time:

The real season begins tonight for the Red Wings. One lucky D&D listener won tickets and a limo ride this morning by locating Rudy's new home. I wonder what a wall of medieval weapons would look like on the inside wall of a dumpster? In other news, there was rampant teabagging going on across the country yesterday. No mention of this on D&D; maybe they were worried about another FCC fine? There was another discussion about fat people on airplanes -- I'll agree with the airline, if your ass takes up two seats, you need to pay for two seats.

Here's the show:
