Where were you on 9/9/09? If you were a D&D listener, you may have been at the WCSX studios that morning at the Deminski & Doyle Beatles: Rock Band open house! We highlighted this show as #2 on our Top 9 of 2009 Countdown. As a bit of an apology for last week's debacle with Mediafire, we've updated all the links on the Beatles: Rock Band post from Jan 14, 2010...it's reposted below in its entirety.
NOTE: The links on the rest of the Top 9 of 2009 Countdown posts are still broken. We'll work on getting this updated as well. Jeff and Bill should really host another open house...it may not be NJ-101.5's style, but the comedic segments they had in Detroit were some of my personal highlights.

The Deminski & Doyle Show has always thrived on listener interaction. And not just of the call-in-and-talk-on-the-radio variety. Open houses and listener gatherings have been a staple of the show for as long as I can remember. There was the St. Patty's Day live show, as we highlighted yesterday, as well as the Tigers' opening day broadcast from the Ellwood that we mentioned last week. As far as off-air parties and events went, there was the New Years Eve bash, a Superbowl party, a Halloween party, and, of course, the Super Bonus Points events (more on those later) -- Jeff ponied up for free burgers in March and the guys gave away ticket for a screening of "Year One" in June. The final Super Bonus Points event was supposed to be a free breakfast; this ended up being delayed, but when it did happen, it coincided with the coolest open house the guys have ever done. On 9/9/09, to commemorate the release of the Beatles Rock Band game (and the remastered CDs), D&D opened up the studio to any listener who wanted to come in any play. A deluxe edition of the game was given away, "Jack Nicholson" stopped in to sing, and fun was had by all. A couple Beatles-related interviews from previous days were replayed; Jeff and Bill spoke to Giles Martin live from Abbey Road Studios on Sept. 4, and Beatles Rock Band creator Josh Randall was interviewed on Sept. 3 (both are updated

BONUS PODCASTS (updated
As mentioned above, the Super Bonus Points goof-up by Jeff was a continuing theme throughout the year. The original "D&D-Mail" can be viewed here (and Jeff's response is here), and here is the original segment from Feb. 26 where Jeff got faced with his mistake. "Super Bonus Points Tuesday" was March 3; here is the segment from that morning, and listen here to see how listeners responded to Jeff's attempted repentance on March 12. The "Super Bonus Points Movie" was in August; tickets were given away during on-air contests, including a movie trivia quiz on Aug 3 (listen here) and an EPIC FAIL of a movie quiz by Rudy the next day that can be heard here. Jim O'Brien kept the gag alive with his "announcer voice" -- listen to the Super Bonus Points "commercials" he made here (requires WinRAR). A listener even made a Super Bonus Points Club Card that can be viewed here.
