Drew and Mike talked about this mystery this morning. A guy from Roseville named Matthew Landry has been missing for about a week, and the police believe they finally have the guy in custody responsible for his disappearance.
And here is the WXYZ story on the case:
Drew and Mike interview this crazy old lady back in 2003. She was involved in a nude war protest but didn’t have any real facts to back up her claims.

Here is one of the articles Drew and Mike were talking about regarding the 2000 election.
The Washington Post did the research and the Florida recounts would have favored President Bush
“In all likelihood, George W. Bush still would have won Florida and the presidency last year if either of two limited recounts — one requested by Al Gore, the other ordered by the Florida Supreme Court — had been completed, according to a study commissioned by The Washington Post and other news organizations.”
You can download the MP3, which is about an hour long. It picks up a half hour before the Drew calls in and you can hear how painfully awful Mike is leading the show.
Drew seemed to fit right back in, but it was still a little awkward, which I’m sure will go away after a few shows are under their belt. I’m not sure if Mike is serious or not (aftter a relisten it does sound like he is joking), but he seems to think the show will be called the “Mike and Drew Show” - I really doubt this since the WRIF website itself is referring to “Drew and Mike.”
And while it’s true “Mike in the Morning” remained number 1 after Drew left, it was at a lower number. They used to pull 10-12 shares and without Drew they pulled 5 shares at number 1. Look for those numbers to shoot back up under Drew’s leadership on the Drew and Mike Show.
Listen to the phone call here:
If you miss it, don’t worry… we’ll have the audio after he calls in. Check back in tomorrow or listen tomorrow morning!
That’s right, back in Detroit on WRIF 101.1 FM on July 13, 2009! Drew Lane was offered a chance to host is own show in the afternoon or go back to mornings with Mike, and he chose the latter.
Jamie Samuelsen will not stay on the show. He may stick around for a few weeks, but look for the old Drew and Mike show to kick back in gear after the transition. No word on what Jamie will do, but look for him to stay with the WRIF or Greater Media in a different role.
Drew was offered his own show at almost every major Detroit station, and turned them all down. He was offered a seven figure deal to replace Jay and Bill at WKRK, but rejected it.
I have no idea how much WRIF is paying Drew, but with the absence of Arthur Penhallow a huge chunk of money was freed up that will probably be heading Drew’s way.
Keep checking the “Drew and Mike Archive” on the right for full episodes and clips of the old Drew and Mike show, plus the new one come July 13th!
Drew Lane was on the air today with Tom “the killer’ Kowalski from 3-7 at a Boston station, WTKK! I caught it late, but here is the last 16 minutes of the show:
Update: Drew and Mike are back!
John Popper was on the Adam Carolla show this week. While covering the news, they talked about the chick who killed herself outside of Paula Abdul’s house. This made Popper jam on he harmonica to Abduls “Opposite’s Attract.”
The wacky morning show, Bob and Mark from 106.5 in Alaska scored the first post election interview with… Piper Palin.
President Piper? “That’d be awesome!”
Adam thinks John McCain should have bought bookending commercials before and after Obama’s big half hour informercial.
In a speech, Senator McCain accidently slipped up and said the word “cunt.” He was trying to say, “budget cut.” Adam was told he could only play the edited version, and that sent him in a rage about the FCC It’s funny radio:
101.1 FM WRIF – From August 4, 2006 – Drew and Mike talk about John Madden entering the football hall of fame. This reminds them of the time they called and woke him up. This is also provides them an excuse to play some classic Madden “Gay Per Views.”

Update: Drew and Mike are back!
Enough of this nonsense. We need nuclear power, and we need it now.
