D&D - WKRK - Sept 8, 2005

It begins here! The earliest record of Doyle's fascination with LOST -- shortly before the second season began, he and Beaver did a small recap of Season 1 and gave away a DVD set. As Beaver warned him prophetically, "You're getting sucked in!" Bill was also able to get ahold of the Fractured Fairytales DVD he mentioned yesterday, which spawned a discussion with listeners about classic cartoons. There were also call-in segments regarding motorcycle safety, the world's worst TV commercials, historical-sounding names for kids, and diseases that may spring up from the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Jeff was still on vacation, but he played the part of the "on-site correspondent" at the beginning of the show and talked about how the adverse weather was screwing up his plans. Other topics included the Pussycat Dolls, "wrong number voicemail etiquette," and a fake tiger meat sale in China.

Here's the show:

D&D - WKRK - Sept 7, 2005

This is the second Rock-Paper-Scissors "Team Smoot" sighting (hearing?) we've had while archiving old D&D shows, though this one came first chronologically. If I remember right, the "professional" player lost to D&D in 2007 as well. D&D DB&R also chatted with Russell Dynda, a heterosexual author. The other "interview" was during the show's open, as new WKRK employee Joe Santos told an embarrassing story about (what else) sex. Other topics covered ranged from Rudy's Fantasy FAILball leagues to a Southern Accent quiz, as well as call-in segments about the appropriate age for cell phone (Doyle's kids have walkie-talkies, ha ha) and "buddy movies."

D&D - WKRK - Sept 6, 2005

This is the first of three "DB 'n' R" Shows (Doyle, Beaver, & Rudy) while Jeff is on vacation and then we have four "Best Of" shows from the following week. It was always a different monster when one of the "dynamic duo" was out at WKRK -- it seemed (to me, at least) that Doyle and Beaver seemed to handle heavier topics, but when Bill was out, Jeff took the lead and would more comedic segments. Topics from this show included the (not) BREAKING news of Bob (not John) Denver's death, a voicemail from friend-of-the-show Animosity, a Dear Abby letter from a cutter, "food bombs," and a bit on Doyle's vole problem, as well as call-in segments about taking cell phones and computers on vacation, the early onset of mid-life crises (check out the awesome housing market crash foreshadowing by Doyle & Beaver), a "bucket list" discussion that predated the movie, and listener suggestions about what to do with post-Katrina New Orleans. There was also a Fraggle Rock DVD giveaway.

D&D - WKRK - Aug 26, 2005

Sorry this is up late, Blogger was down most of the day. Follow us on Twitter to stay updated next time! :)

We only have audio from a few segments of this show, unfortunately, and none from the last three days of August. But there's (almost) the entire month of September, 2005 coming up next! Today's featured show included segments on a shallow-water shark attack, a bit on Hurricane Katrina (more on that tomorrow), Deminski's asshole brother, and "black boxes" for automobiles, as well as call-in segments about buying cars on eBay, classic rock concerts, and eating and drinking contests (that unfortunately happened during a show from the following week that we don't have).

D&D - WKRK - Aug 24, 2005

I didn't listen to "Live 97.1" for too many years during its hayday (Howard-MCM-D&D-P&tM) and I didn't really know the history of the relationship between shows, so I can't tell if the Motor City Middays slam that started this show was all in fun or not. I do know there was a bit of animosity between Gregg Henson and D&D recently. Topics covered during this late-summer show included a Deminski rant against his health insurance company, a little prick for Beaver (get your mind outta the gutter!), tensions at Ozzfest, a SPIN magazine list of "best rock star body parts," a Daily Show clip about Pat Robertson (trivia: apparently D&D interviewed a pre-Daily Show Jon Stewart back when they were on NJ 101.5), an update on Rudy's girlfriend, and chat with Jay the Cable Guy on his upcoming American Idol audition (they also played a funny Afroman parody song Jay and Beaver recorded back in the day for Jeff's brother). Call-in segments ranged from doing drugs with your parents to male waxing -- which included the BEST CALLER EVER!

D&D - WKRK - Aug 23, 2005

There was a very cool post-40 Year Old Virgin interview with Steve Carrell during this show after the first segment about the show's six-year anniversary. Not as many call-in segments as compared to yesterday's show; listeners chimed in on Doyle's stray cat problem, the National Geographic Channel's 9/11 documentary, and vehicular pet peeves. Other topics covered included a run down of some of Jeff's 25 past jobs (guess that number is 26 now, eh?), terrorism, a court case that held a gas station liable for a drunk driving death (really??), as well as clips of a couple new MindCandy songs.

D&D - WKRK - Aug 22, 2005

Beaver's temper, Bill Doyle's obsessive-compulsive receipt-logging disorder, and Jeff's Breath-Right Strips addiction were all featured in the show. Don't worry, Rudy was there; more on him tomorrow. Other topics covered included a chat with PD Craig Schwab on his recent traffic accident, a clip from Hogan Knows Best, a bit of pre-movie Borat news, as well as call-in segments about "bros before hoes," Googling prospective dates, and the Northwest Airlines mechanics strike (including a non-solicited call by Bob Rose, the union president).
