Shit.

SHIT.

Tell me about it. I don't mind the Yankees regular broadcast team (Susan Waldman and John Sterling), but not every game is carried locally on the radio, and the incessant commercials and plugs is really annoying. They actually have an "official bottled water of the Yankees broadcast booth".

Still, I think Sirius is worth it without baseball. We watch a LOT less TV since we got it....just turn it on at dinnertime for commercial-free music, let it play during the early evening, and then record Breuer's show from 9-11 so we can listen to it at work the next day. We listened to a little bit of Vinny "Big Pussy" Pastore's "The Wiseguy Show" yesterday....pretty friggin' hilarious.

Crap, had a reply written, and accidentally quit my browser.

Here's a link to his July 15th show (best one this past month, IMHO):

http://www.cvs.rochester.edu/people/c_f ... breuer.mp3

There are 4 guys on the show:

Jim Breuer - comedian, does great impressions
Pete - fellow comedian, does some singing on the side
Larry & Shaka - friends of Jim's from high school, pro musicians

This show is different than his normal show, in that they scored a performance studio at Sirius and jammed for 2 hours. It's normally just them sitting around a table and shooting the shit.

I'm going to pull the file off the server on Monday, so be sure to download it this weekend.

Do it up! My headphones thank you in advance.

Well if you wanna get cheered up a bit, let me know and I'll send you an MP3 of 'Breuer Unleashed', a 2-hour show comedian Jim Breuer and his friends do on Sirius. It's fucking hiliarious.

Well, I listened to it. The first part, anyway.

It was 73 minutes long and it only took me an hour to get into work so there was still some left as I got in my car for lunch and physical therapy.

I don't know how to fast forward or rewind CDs in my car yet and I recorded the first MP3 as one big blob. Not wanting to have to listen to the the first hour again to get to where I left off I had to leave it in. Of course, life is quite wonderful for me and it was quite the shock to go from my happy, care-free, slappy-go-lucky lifestyle into what amounted to a sad hearse inhabited by a ultra-morose disembodied voice.

Ben said he was DEFINITELY going to get me more tracks for Don and Mike! Hahah, that one guy suckering us all in with his wife's death was pretty good radio and I hope Ben sends over the episode where they do the "big reveal." This has the potential to be the best radio gag yet!

I will probably throw it on a flash drive and listen to it tomorrow, Pinner. I'm psyched! I've never heard these guys' show and I understand it's really funny. So I'm psyched.

It's depressing as fuck!

Thanks for hosting it.. I listened to the whole thing.. and now I'm gonna go jump off a canal lock into a cow carcass.

Yeah, this thread never really took off the way I wanted.

Here is a nice article about this unbelievable moment in radio history, from the Washington Post:

And here's the full two hours:

Here's the part at the end:

I'm trying to get it off alt.binaries.don-n-mike, but most of the segments seem to be missing parts.

Anyone having any better luck? We only need the first two hours.

(And that part at the end? Where he completely loses it, right before playing "their song" ("Everlasting Love")? Jesus.)

I heard part of it today. Where can I find a copy of the whole thing?

by **pinback** » Mon Aug 01, 2005 2:57 pm

Anybody hear this today?

Don's first day back, nobody else was in the studio. Just him and a microphone for two hours (the first 1.25 hours straight, without a commercial break).

Amazing, unbelievable radio.

You'll never heard anything like it again.

Oh and this the first thing I have ever agreed with Pincrack on

by **Slacker Danzaland** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 8:53 am

Yes Don and Mike are an aquired taste, and it does take time to get used to them. And yes I am sure the radio promos are terrible as many promos for many shows are terrible....like ads for the Brad Davies show here in rochester.....

I have aquired that taste and hell there are bits I don't care for but it sure doesn't get any better than Mike doing the Col. Harry Morgan-Potter readings.....and it was better when they could read letters to penthouse as a part of that bit..... F'n FCC.....

This show sucked. Why did it suck? Becuase for the enitre duration of my life in Colorado they ran the same promo commercial for this stupid show. The commercial was these two fags laughing at themselves. The laugh sounded like they each had king sized cherry danishes lodged in their throats.
I'm sorry, if you are going to advetise a show you should do a better job than play a tape of the stars laughing at themsleves. If I wanted that I would tape myslef reading my own posts.

I didn't realize how many of you knew of the best show ever.
