View Full Version : Drew & Mike, together again Big Swami 06-24-2009, 08:11 AM Drew's coming back. Thoughts? Fool 06-24-2009, 11:13 AM Aren't they called Mike & Ikes? MoTown 06-25-2009, 08:24 AM I never really listened to them before, but I understand they are kind of a Detroit tradition. Which channel were/are they on? Big Swami 06-26-2009, 03:02 PM They are the WRIF morning show. They've been around pretty much since...what, the late 80s? The show had been called Drew & Zip. They had a guy who was a gas company worker who called in and did little bits and stunts. They fired Zip and replaced him with the gas company guy, Mike. They are locally famous for a few recurring bits / jokes. * Drew Blows - When Drew would call in sick to the show, Mike and the rest of the staff would call local businesses would spend hours crank-calling local businesses and asking to speak with "Drew Blows" * Short Attention Span Theater - long movies or books summarized in 60 seconds or less with silly voices * The Harris Poll - Random opinion polling about topical issues by calling up people with the last name Harris. This is how they met: * Delbert Harris - a half-retarded racist hillbilly who they would call up every once in a while to ask for his hilarious opinions on things * They were the ones who introduced Detroit to Peter & Raymond (http://shutuplittleman.com/), aka the "shut up, little man" guys * Their epic sign-off sequence at the end of the show that has something like 100 drops of different people saying things along the lines of "thank you, goodbye" WTFchris 06-26-2009, 03:22 PM I loved the Harris polls. Zip Goshboots 06-27-2009, 08:48 PM Drew and ZIP?! I'm going to sue--going for the throat on this one. |
