D&D - May 13, 2010 - Philly's WPHT 1210am

D&D started this show (their first live broadcast in over a month) with a very partisan opinion on a very controversial topic, the Arizona immigration law. I'm not sure if they're trying to fit in with the rest of the right-wing talent on WPHT, but this was one of the rare times Jeff and Bill both shared an unpopular opinion on a hot-button issue. Like Eric Holder, most Americans haven't read this law -- the questionable poll results on this law reflect more the average American's recession-based anti-immigrant attitudes (cue South Park - "They tuk yur jooob!").

Anyway, off the soapbox -- other topics covered included the proposed national "potty parity" bill (co-sponsored, incidentally, by Republican Congressman Darrell Issa), the Philly cop who shot himself -- and said "a black man did it" (yet again) -- weird kids' names (Wentworth, anyone?), the ACLU protecting those who dare cuss at cops, and a sick Philly fuck who killed a kid with Drano. A local Philly story the guys should have touched on is the 25th anniversary of the MOVE bombing -- watch a short video on it here.

As far as the show itself goes -- it seemed like there were less commercials than the last few times they were on WPHT. They also had their first contest -- they gave away some tickets to a Charlie Manuel event. It seemed (at least during the immigration debate) that they were pandering to the audience a bit. If that's the case, as comic Bill Hicks once put it, "Have some self respect -- stay home and jerk off, man." Heh...just breaking balls. They did a good job, but keep in mind, there are zero well-known syndicated political radio shows featuring two hosts, so I really don't see that working out for them. I'm still really missing the comedy bits.

Here's the show:
