People complain about too much MMA in the Observer, Dave responds by writing massive in-depth articles about sports only tangentially related to wrestling. Next up in the series: medieval jousting.

Was the next week the one where they did the skit about Triple H finding Michaels working at a food court and then Michaels superkicked a little kid? Because that poo poo was incredible.

e: And I just realized that it was the start of the last run of Michaels's career.

The LAW moved to a different station, where apparently they can't swear on the air. I haven't listened in a while, can anyone tell me how their idiot callers are adjusting and whether or not Dan Lovranski has had a stroke yet?

They still get some new schmucks in addition to the regular schmucks. It's basically the same show but with less cursing so whatever.

Given that all it really ended up promoting was a series of arrests and a failed trip to rehab I'd guess it doesn't count but who knows.

West was only the worst announcer of all time until the rise of heel Michael Cole, much like Gaddafi was the worst terrorist of all time in a pre-9/11 world. The good stuff he did afterwards, plus the fact that we since learned it could in fact get a hell of a lot worse, have more than redeemed him in my eyes.

At first I thought you were still talking about Gaddafi at the end there.

Yeah I'm going to agree with Oatgan on this one. If it was a real radio show (because it's not. It's a podcast) I'd be on board with Carlisle, but Dave being Dave is just so loving entertaining.

If you want "radio personalities" listen to the LAW. Jason Agnew is a giant dickbag but he sure is a radio personality.

e: though Dave does 15-20 minutes on the LAW every week too so, y'know, that's the mentality I guess.
