D&D - WKRK - Aug 5, 2005

Bib Bob Wingstone made an appearance during this show, as he attempted to chow down a 5-lb burger from the Dawghouse as callers called in with "cringe injury" stories. I miss Wingcup. :( The other call-in segments included suggestions for the upcoming "Smash For Cash" event and weird weapon collections, as well as a round of Beaver Pyramid. Miscellaneous topics covered ranged from Jeff's dog's horn-papaloma, Rudy's Sweaty-Pit-Gate, and the Lee Iococa / Snoop Dogg commercial.

Here's the show:

D&D - WKRK - Aug 4, 2005

I have to admit, I was not an everyday listener of D&D when they were on WKRK. I worked a lot of afternoons when I first moved to the Detroit area in the middle of the last decade and the days I did listen when I wasn't working, I rarely listened straight through from 3 to 7. I bet a lot of listeners were that way; listen in their care driving home from work and maybe flip the radio on while eating dinner. After listening to most of a month's worth of WKRK shows, it seems to me like they had something special there that's going to be hard to duplicate. It's like there was ALWAYS something big going on. In July and the first week of August of 2005, there was the D&D Dating Game, MindCandy's possible move to California, a D&D Trivia Contest, Gamer Trough beta testing, and the in-studio appearances of the "Hot Coffee" Grand Theft Auto porn, a severed foot, and a curry / hookah bash. Wherever D&D end up in 2010, I hope they can recapture the magic they had at 97.1 (and at 101.5).

Today's featured show included appearances by Gavin (from Parker & the Man's crew) and Gregg Henson regarding a deathly boring WKRK employee meeting, as well as callers opinions on that topic as well as their drug and snoring experiences *coughJeffcough*, public marriage proposals, and their earliest childhood memories. Other segments included a possible Mike Tyson porn, an awesome Gamer Trough "Real Men of Genius" parody, poop in religious ceremonies, an interview with a hero from the Toronto airport crash, two murder stories (think road rage and a nagging wife), and a Buenos Aires "Batman"-themed hotel room.

D&D - WKRK - Aug 3, 2005

We're missing the end of the 3pm hour, most of the 4pm hour, and the entire 6pm hour -- but hey, again, it's better than nothing! :) There were a couple call-in segments during Hour 1 -- listeners chimed in on the vaccination / autism conspiracy theory and later admitted how much they spent on their dogs -- as well as a couple other topics, Deminski's wife's toe surgery and MindCandy's Detroit Music Award (the end of this segment was cut off). The entire 5pm hour consisted of Gamer Trough beta testing; Fox 2's Jason Carr joined the guys in the studio to capture some video for a GT segment he produced (that can be seen here).

D&D - WKRK - Aug 2, 2005

This was the "Doyle & Beaver Show," as Jeff was off taking care of his wife's toes and his dog's horn -- or maybe it was the other way around? Anyway, there was continuing coverage of the Sleep Cycle Watch inventiFAIL, the upcoming Gamer Trough beta testing, and the plane crash that happened in Toronto that morning. Other topics covered included GM's "Employee Pricing" extension, "tombstoning," and a cell phone "app" that can recognize songs, as well as call-in segments about stuff you hid from your family (inspired by Rudy's tattoos), crazy diets (inspired by a story about the Atkins Diet company going bankrupt), potato guns (inspired by a recent issue of Make Magazine), and good classic TV shows (inspired by Bill Cosby's venom towards FOX). Parents attitudes towards kids' sporting events were also addressed.

D&D - WKRK - July 29, 2005

We've got about half of this show -- totally missing Hour 1 and the audio from 4pm-6pm is missing quite a bit, but do we have the complete Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon Friday Game. Segments that made it through the unintentional abridging included the end of an interview with a celebrity sex tape guru from hansnews.com, most of the in-studio severed foot appearance, a story about a guy killed by a taser, as well as a few calls on the Gamer Trough design phase and ingrown toenail surgery.

Awwww CRAP of all the shows to only have audio for the first three hours. We missed the second half of the 2005 D&D Trivia Contest and the tranny waxing! From the sounds of the first half, it's pretty evident who was going to win. Other topics from this show included birthday phobias (Birthdays, Forgetting & Birthdays, Anxiety Over Gifts For), couples' dinner rules, zombie dogs, a VERY topical Dearborn Press & Guide racist political cartoon, and Rudy's failed beautifulpeople.net profiles, as well as call-in segments about MindCandy's upcoming photoshoot, sneaking pictures on a camera phone, and reasons for a penis-ectomy.

D&D - WKRK - July 27, 2005

Whoops, this was WKRK, not WXYZ. Missing the final hour of this show -- something about an upcoming doctor's appointment for Jeff and the introduction to the guy who brought his severed foot into the studio. Loved the Rachel Maddow-esque interview with the owner of the motorcycle company who fired an employee for buying a competitor's product. Glad they don't have that rule where I work -- I'd rather just use grocery bags. Other topics covered included a recap of the first episode of Dirty Jobs (and callers nominations for the show), a discussion about morning wood, a little critique of 89X by Jeff and a short little pre-2009 Tiger Woods joke during a Parker and the Man promo, as well as call-in segments about macabre media coverage fetishes, an AWESOME childhood urban legends website, a complaint from Deminski about catchy kids' songs, and a TV Father & Son contest for boxing tickets.
