What is your favorite Don and Mike episode? I just started listening again
after a few years of not listening to the show, and I went through some of my
old tapes that I had saved. The lesbian porno they filmed for that girl to
give to her boyfriend was classic, same with the visit to the Mustang Ranch,
the "great experiment" (two lesbians have sex in their office), and the women
catfighting for Power Rangers Halloween costumes. What are some other
favorites that you all remember?

Years ago, they went to Graceland and heckled mourners during the
Anniversary of Elvis' Death. Awesome.

The BEST was when Regis Philbin was talking to Regis Philbin.

Don & Mike called the hotel where Regis & Kathie Lee were staying in Hawaii to tape a week's worth of episodes. Mike used his Regis voice to gain access to Regis's voice mail. The desk clerk knew something was up because Regis was standing right there in front of him. The clerk put a rather pissed off Regis on the phone and Mike stayed in voice. Real Regis asked him who this was... Mike said "I'm Regis and I'm just picking up my voice mail".

Off the phone line, but still on the air Don was frantically asking Rob and Diana what they should do. You hear both of them in the background screaming to hang up!

Absolutely the BEST!!!

The next week, Don had to air an apology explained what had happened and that they 'never intended to harm Mr. Philbin in any way'.

You will never hear the mess on 'Best of...', either. Several months later Don addressed that they couldn't play it for legal reasons.

A couple of favorites:

1. When they broadcast live from the "Hard Rock Cafe" in DC. My
favorite because it was my first.

2. The first launching of the inflatable love dolls and the calls
from all around of people seeing the helium filled love dolls all over
DC. It was an original idea and spur of the moment which made it
good. The follow up was also good.

3. Live broadcast of going to National Airport. That was fun because
they did a good job of describing the route and police would come up
beside them and everything. Neat also because it didn't mean the
whole show was "The Best Of". They did real stuff going from the
station to the Airport.

4. The first live broadcast from on top of the sleazy hotel in Ocean
City Maryland. They didn't have a bus or anything -- just some die
hard listeners. I drove in from Virginia and went to the top of the
hotel just to see them in person for the very first time and see what
they looked like. Robbay was there positioned at the door to prevent
people from coming out on the roof but he was a little slow and me and
another guy got to sit up there with them. Diana actually scared me
because she was constantly busy and I was afraid she would tell me to
leave if I went over to speak to Don or Mike or Buzz on the break. I
got to see Freda, Big Freda, and Marsha also at this one. Robbay at
that point in time impressed me as someone always trying to hustle but
not quite making it.

One more funny thing they used to do. Mike used to say some stupid
word or phrase when they were going to come out of commercials. I'm
not sure exactly what it was for. The old time listeners might even
remember how we could hear on on the air also. It was usually just an
obscure one word thing.

Does anyone remember when they went to Ireland with Diana and Sherri? I
remember one call to France where they spoke to this lady who happened to be
having a birthday party. The only french they knew was "bon jour" and "butt
cheese". They kept playing fart sounds in the backround. The lady just
played along...I laughed so hard I thought I would drive right off the road!

I haven't been listening that long, but my favorites are Friday Low Budget
Jepaaarrrdy. Mike's impressions are so funny to me because he doesn't just
get the voice, he does a characature (sp) of them. The funniest ever was
when he did the Chinese guy - and he had beanie babies and was going to be
rich. That was at the height of the beanie baby craze around here - I had
tears running down my face!

my favorite moment came on a Xmas eve show many many years ago. It was
one of those times D&M were on the outs with the old maj but they
called him anyway to say happy holidays. The old maj answered the
phone, Don said Merry Christmas or whatever and there was dead
silence... all of the sudden major Bill erupted "YOU TWO HAVE MADE AN
ASSHOLE OUT OF ME FOR THE LAST TIME!!!!!" for the first time in his
life Don was fucking speechless... he didn't even think to hit the
delay and the whole thing went out over the air. I don't know what
happened next because I was driving around doing errands with my
75-year-old grandmother who only minutes before asked me to "find some
nice Christmas music on the radio" As my grandmother turned pale I
quickly changed the station and she didn't say another word to me the
entire way home

A few of my favorite moments off the top of my head:

The whole show about the desk. Thanks to dudalb for reminding me of that one.

The first aborted trip to Ireland recap.

The "what my husband doesn't know won't hurt him" with some young woman who
used her brother to tell a half-truth. D&M found out it was her brother, her
husband was p****d, but they couldn't do anything to her since she was about 8
months preggers.

The Regis voice mail incident.

Dialing for Tansvestites with Nancy (Buzz).

Several of the Dialing for Tranvestites with Robbay.

Various trips into the Bad Dee Jay tape bin.

The weeks of material they got off of "Females For Hire".

Dialing for Transvestites using only the Major Bill tapes or Delores. I liked
it when, after the Dog Wedding (Bo Bo tounged a mutt), they let a few of the
dogs run around unchecked in the WJFK building. I don't remember if they got
the desired result, dog shit &/or piss in the Gerbil's office.

There was a Dialing for Transvestites they did with Robbay as Delores many
years ago. All I can remember is Robbay pretending to take a piss and the boys
playing a pissing sound effect in the background. I don't think I've ever
laughed so hard in my life.

I called the station that time. Whazziz name who answered the phones whom
everyone hated had agreed to "marry" Mike's dog Oscar.
I called and asked if he let Oscar bury a bone in his backyard.
He hung up on me.

yeah. mike would mention the disease and at the end of the show, someone would
call in and drop the name of the disease to win a prize. i won once with
pneumonia, but that was after they stopped giving away prizes for it.

How about the guy who called up and said he wanted to tell his wife he was a
gay. Total setup and they bought it for about 2 hours of air time. This is
not to be confused with the rednecks who goofed them with the "I just got a BJ
@ the liquor store from my best friends wife." They promised vengence but
there were just too many people involved. It made it to a best of tho, but it
was pretty chopped up.

Remember that wierd girl Nan (who later changed her name) that wanted
to marry the radio tower ? They set up a marriage for her so she
could marry the tower. She wasn't all there in my opinion.

Several months later she had a job is some type of radio or TV and had
changed her name. Probably easier than a divorce.

Sure did. Usually in the first half hour.

Then there was some type of contest to log in and repeat the disease
name or something like that.

Just a quirky fun thing.

Remember when Mike used to play the musical keyboard at the start of
the show ? I liked that a lot.

That'd be the Maze. His whole rap seemed to be simply reading the lyrics from
a given song.

I still get the dry heaves when I recall his rwaction to finding out which of
