D&D - Aug 10, 2010 - Philly's WPHT 1210am

Last day of live D&D in Philly...for now. I'm way behind schedule so I'll try to at least get the first half of the show up this evening and the second half probably not until tomorrow.

UPDATE 6/11: Well that was fun. I forgot how much work it is to edit a full four-hour show every day. Here's hoping I'll have that opportunity in the future -- as Jeff said just before they signed off yesterday, "Hopefully we'll talk again, who knows?" This was a very full show that included a number of positive comments from WPHT listeners about their substitute hosts. I don't know how TPTB viewed it, but if this was an audition, I'd personally say it was a successful one. Topics covered during this four-hour spread included interviews with Philly Fire Commissioner Lloyd Ayers about a possible brownout-related fire death, Claudia Gomez of Philly's FOX 29 about illegal parking spots in the city, and John Meixner from Northwestern University about a new technology that could be used to read terrorist's thought (ok, more like read a specific, previously known brainwave frequency). Call-in segments included debated about the "Take This Job and Shove It" Jet Blue flight attendant, the death penalty (again), a lawsuit from a Mets fan injured by a flying baseball bat, as well as calls following the firehouse brownout and parking lots segments. Other stories mentioned ranged from the serious (Defense Secretary Bob Gates' thoughts on budget cuts, more on DRPA & DROP, and a possible new "Substitute Justice" position on the Supreme Court) to the silly (Jennifer Aniston's thoughts on families, falling magazine subscription numbers, and toxic dog food) to the what-the-@#$% (Stephen Hawking's "get off my planet!" rant, a possible baby-thrown-off-bridge hoax in Philly, and a Massachusetts pastor who's in favor of beating kids).

BONUS: These are, so far, the first and only "official" D&D podcasts from WPHT -- their interviews with Phillies' manager Charlie Manuel from last Monday and this Monday.

D&D - Aug 9, 2010 - Philly's WPHT 1210am

There were a number of local (Philly) story updates in this show -- some further background came out about Stacy Strauss, the woman charged in the death of the autistic 20-year-old, more numbers from the DROP retirement scandal were revealed, pedo teacher David Devine's "summer camp" was mentioned again, and Philadelphia Daily News' Stu Bykofsky (who Jeff and Bill spoke with last week) is having a "candidate's comedy night." Other topics covered included a few other local stories (merits of the death penalty in Philly, a cop's hit-and-run admission, and new ways to fight prostitution in the City of Brotherly Love) as well as another chat with Phillies' manager Charlie Manuel, a Sarah Palin vs. Kate Gosselin update, a groom killer story from Turkey, and a scientific update on the "five second rule." Call-in segments included debates on Wikileaks, Proposition 8, airport body scanners, "Obamacare," and Arizona's SB 1080. Callers also chimed in on a couple of Deminski rants -- he told a story about a shopping cart "accident" and once again gave his opinion on bicyclists.

D&D - Aug 6, 2010 - Philly's WPHT 1210am

Sorry folks -- had an emergency come up today and I wasn't able to edit the audio from Friday's show. I'll try to get it up by Sunday night, Monday afternoon at the latest (along with the audio from Monday's show).

UPDATE 8/9:
Friday's audio is up...sorry again for the delay...today's show will be up in a bit...

There weren't nearly as many call-in segment during this Friday show as there were earlier in the week -- maybe Jeff and Bill's "audition week" (my term, not meaning to start a rumor) includes many different types of shows? They did finally have a lengthy comedic segment today when they took calls about the best (and the worst) comedies of all times. Callers also got to chime in on a few other topics, ranging from corporal punishment in schools to Philadelphia police reform to the local (Philly) first-grade teacher / kiddie porn addict. Other topics covered included two replays of the 911 call by the Connecticut shooter, updates from BP and Social Security, some scattered gay news (Elena Kagan, Prop 8, and a banned book), a blown off interview from Adolf Hitler's dad, as well as an interview with Ronnie Polaneczky of the Philadelphia Daily News (and the subjects of her pet-medical care story). Smaller l'il bits talked about ranged from instant replay in baseball, MMA, the wife who discovered her husband's other wife on Facebook, a dead woman covered by laundry, and an animal hoarder. No end-of-the-week game though. :(

D&D - Aug 5, 2010 - Philly's WPHT 1210am

"What the hell is goin' on here?" Looks like WPHT's webstream wasn't working correctly until 7:35am -- on three different computers, the only thing that recorded from 5am - 7:35am were the commercials. :( It looks like D&D were on live in Philly -- they never mentioned anything about coming on late -- just not online. And seeing as how WPHT isn't putting up any "official" podcasts from D&D, all we're going to get is the last hour of a half of this show.

There wasn't much "there" there -- the two big topics from the last half of this show were, as expected, the overturning of California's Proposition 8 (I loved listening to Doyle go toe-to-toe...err, verse-to-verse...with the Jesus Freaks) as well as the local issue of DRPA and its upcoming idea of camera-based fines for toll roads. Kind of a dry topic for Michigan listeners. They also played the 911 call of yesterday's horrible Connecticut workplace shooting at the very end of the show. Can anyone in Philly (or NJ) clue us in on what we missed from 5am - 7:35am?

D&D - Aug 4, 2010 - Philly's WPHT 1210am

Jeff and Bill are really getting into this political talk and the local Philadelphia stories. They had some humorous segments during the first hour of the show including one on the "Macaca" moment of Nevada gubernatorial candidate Brian Sandoval -- they also mentioned the correlation between beer and weight loss, the "Twilight baby name" phenomenon, and a fake funeral scam -- as well as some heavier call-in topics later on about the local autistic man who died after being left in a hot car, the "Ground Zero Mosque" controversy, a nutty animal rights activist protesting at the PA Capitol, and the outrageous DROP "fake retirement" scheme in Philly (they spoke with Stu Bykofsky of the Philadelphia Daily News on this issue). Other topics covered included a triple-segment on the Connecticut workplace shooting (and the possible racism angle), a list of top stolen vehicles, and a rundown of the top wasteful spending projects of the 2009 Stimulus bill -- you gotta check out antweb.org! There was one flashback moment when they talked about an old WCSX interview with George Wendt from 2009.

D&D - Aug 3, 2010 - Philly's WPHT 1210am

There's a lot of déjà vu in this show...we had flashbacks to Jeff's handshake stiffing of Kwame at the 2006 SuperBowl party, a debate about elderly drivers, as well as revisiting a segment they had back in March on WPHT about rude toll workers. Other topics covered included light topics from the 5am hour such as Pam Anderson's campaign to help oil spill'd pets, a discussion about a Mike Tyson interview, a "not dead" rebuttal from Bill Cosby, as well as a few uninteresting (to me) local Philly stories. Time was also spent talking with callers about telling off politicians, air rage (on weeeeeed?), Philadelphia firehouse brownouts, and the death penalty. There were a few interesting interviews as well -- a couple local state representatives were interviewed about upcoming legislation regarding teen driver laws and teen sexting laws, and Cheryl James, the hospital worker in Michigan who was fired for a HIPPA violation (mentioned earlier in the week) chatted with D&D for a few minutes.

D&D - Aug 2, 2010 - Philly's WPHT 1210am

UPDATE 8/3: Fixed Hours 3 + 4, links updated below...Hour 4 includes Charlie Manuel interview...

It's time for some LIVE (via tape delay) Deminski & Doyle! Our primary computer lost its Internet connection sometime around 7:30am for about an hour or so, so we only have about half of each of Hour 3 and Hour 4. Hopefully our backup person recorded without incident, so that should be fixed by tomorrow. They guys did a pretty good job with their first four-hour show in over a year. Notable moments included Jeff elaborating on some of his recent personal issues and Bill's comment about GLADD's top rating of "excellent" for gay-friendly TV networks -- "You'd think it would be 'fabulous.'" Doyle sounding a little tired at various points. What's up, boy, you not used to waking up before God? I thought you were an early riser!

Anyway, topics covered included call-in segments about an Oakwood Hospital (yay Michigan story) worker fired for a Facebook HIPPA violation (though I join D&D in being sympathetic for her in this case), the elimination of most required vehicle inspections in New Jersey, the resignation of the head of the Delaware River Port Authority (another local story), government intrusion in divorce cases, the latest rulings on the Arizona Immigration law, and GLADD's "victory" over CBS (call it the "Can't Be Straight" decision). Other smaller articles included something about "Pukemon" (local story, I guess), Al Gore and Chelsea Clinton updates, as well as a few audio clips, including a rant on the floor of Congress by Rep. Anthony Weiner (they didn't mention his last name, I suppose to avoid an FCC fine?), Obama vs. Hasselbeck on the View, and a funny YouTube prank. Bill is also annoyed that you can't say "homo" on Bravo (which is ironic, if you ask me).

P.S. This is (at least part of) the reason why references to another show on WPHT were removed.

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.

D&D - WPHT - No show May 12, 2010

As alluded to on Jeff's blog yesterday, due to last-minute weather-related schedule changes in the Phillies @ Rockies doubleheader from Denver, there was no D&D show last night on WPHT. Dom Giordano was on the air until midnight instead. Jeff ensured us that he and Bill will be on the air tonight from 10pm-midnight.

We were unfortunately counting on a WPHT show today and we don't have a 2005 show prepped to upload, so there's no new audio to post today. How about a few classic WKRK podcasts instead?

Feb 17, 2006 - SuperSize Scott recalls falling through the floor of his trailer while on the toilet
Apr 26, 2006 - Beaver goes inside a trash compactor
July 7, 2006 - "Doyle buys gay porn" (title says it all, no?)

D&D - Mar 31, 2010 - Philly's WPHT 1210am

We're seeing more and more why the D&D Show on WCSX didn't work. The abbreviated topics geared towards the ADD crowd, the lack of call-in segments, the oversaturation of interviews, the too long and / or too frequent commercial breaks, and the "too many cooks in the kitchen" experience. The show last night would make a great resumé attachment for Jeff and Bill -- maybe tack on a segment about tranny sex or peeing in a Mt. Dew bottle to show off their comedic elements. We had a little less politics during the first hour than the last two times they were on WPHT (the Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell segment was the only truly political discussion), as well as a current topic that D&D had some history on (Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist "Church") and an associated interview, Sean Summers, the lawyer for the father of the soldier who was KIA and whose funeral was protested by the WBC assholes. After a short CBS News break at 11pm (a good way to go, as opposed to an in-show "sports update" or other distractions), D&D spent most of the second hour taking calls on rude toll collectors -- something their Detroit audience may not have related to, but it did spawn a great Jeff-vs-caller moment -- and a Pennsylvania hospital's decision to stop hiring tobacco addicts (by the way, as was pointed out to a caller, employer-based prohibitions on smoking and rising costs of health care were both around WAY before Obama was elected). Topics to end the show included sex addiction and dog fighting.

D&D - Mar 30, 2010 - Philly's WPHT 1210am

Last night's show was an interesting one. As was the case last time, it was just Jeff and Bill in the studio with a ton of callers on a wide range of mostly-political topics (and a couple that were "ripped from the headlines"). The health care reform bill law was another point of contention for the guys and the (mostly) right-leaning callers. Other than the general (false) consensus that no one likes the bill, Jeff also dissed the new requirement that restaurants have to include nutritional information on their menus (though Doyle was in favor of it). Other political topics during the first hour included a quick history lesson on political insults and a "Deminski rant" against the two-party system -- hey Jeff, don't be too quick to shoot down that one caller's pro-parliamentary system if you want to increase the number of political parties!

The second hour was more focused on "current events" topics -- the guys revisited a topic from the show preceding theirs, the arrest of nine teenagers in an upper-class Massachusetts town after an Irish girl committed suicide due to bullying. Sue Finklestien (of the I'll-whore-myself-out-for-World-Series-tickets fame) was interviewed, and a weird-ass pro-rape Japanese video game was mentioned. If only Rudy was on their air during that segment...

Anyway...it was interesting to note how many callers said, "I like your show," or, "I enjoy listening when you guys are on" -- even though one Trenton caller was a fan from the NJ 101.5 days, they've only been on in Philly three times and they've already got regular listeners! I wonder how much promotion they've gotten on the station. Jeff set the tone at the very beginning of the show; yes, this is a station with three huge über-conservative syndicated hosts, but the D&D Show (as a political show) is hardly an ideological or strictly partisan one. Much like the two local Philadelphia hosts (a right-leaning former teacher and a former Republican who endorsed Obama in 2008), Jeff and Bill might provide some balance against the brainwashing of the syndicated hosts in the Philadelphia market. My favorite quote of the night? Doyle saying, "[It's] 10:53, Tuesday night in D...Philadelphia..." :)

P.S. Hey look, the guys have a picture...thought it looks an awful lot like this one...

D&D - Mar 17, 2010 - Philly's WPHT 1210am

Here's the audio from Jeff & Bill's second fill-in stint at "The Big Talker," Philadelphia's WPHT 1210am. If anyone has audio from last Saturday night, it'd be MUCH appreciated! Topic covered included the health care bill (the ENTIRE first hour), the inclusion of the word "negro" on the census form, a local Philly story about jailing parents of delinquent kids, that asshole John Edwards' slutty mistress, and the super-fat New Jersey chick who dreams of turning into an elephant.

D&D got a plug on the stations' website (no pictures or podcasts though, and check out the spelling)...
