D&D - Blast From the Past #9 & #10

We've got more New Jersey 101.5 D&D goodness for y'all today. Thanks again to "the cousin" in New Jersey who found these segments on cassette tapes in his "archive" (why am I picturing something from the show "Hoarders?" :). The first clip is a short little ten minute segment from April, 1999, where Jeff and Bill discuss a newly-released report from the New Jersey Attorney General about NJ Troopers and racial profiling. This was a rare political discussion for D&D -- we had a nice Hannity & Colmes back-and-forth going on there. Sometimes Jeff reminds me of Stephen Colbert -- the character, not the comedian. The second bit is also believed to be from 1999 -- Doyle takes a "White Castle Challenge" and wages $85 on whether he can eat a dozen and a half sliders in 20 minutes. There was no exact date given for this segment, but judging from the weather reports (we cut some out, BTW, to smooth out any jump-cuts), this is from a Wednesday show during the summer. Looking at weather archives for 1999, my best guess would have to be August 4, 1999, during D&D's final week at NJ 101.5, even though their upcoming move to Detroit was never mentioned.

Interesting facts learned from these segments -- Bill T. (Beaver) had been working with D&D for three years, so that would place his beginnings with show to 1996. The debate about "vomit rule" during the White Castle bit may have been a precursor to the WingCup rules. Jeff puts his age at 35 and Doyle's at 36, so if we knew their birthdates, we could better place the date of the segment. Another funny note is Doyle's "I love Tabasco sauce" quip -- later this week we're going to feature the Doyle Tabasco Challenge from November, 1999 2007 [EDIT: Oops totally got that date wrong!].
