I remember back when they started on WAVA as The Morning Zoo and I listened to them religiously every morning, starting early with their &#8220;Cavalcade of Comedy,&#8221; which was mostly just their clips.<\/p>\n<p>I followed them over to WJFK and listened to them all afternoon (how many radios in the house were on?) until about 1995. I even won a contest (naming the contents. My dad got us their autographs for us when they did an appearance at the opening of the Vienna Blockbuster too.) <\/p>\n<p>After I finished college I would occasionally listen to them, but they had gone overboard with the bathroom humor so I would not stick around long. As much as I hate to give the FCC credit, the &#8220;indecency&#8221; crackdown following the Janet Jackson\/Justin Timberlake episode made D&#038;M a better show by forcing them to be more creative and I started listening fairly regularly again.<\/p>\n<p>My favorite bit is Charly Stuangstabalack, the man-child character that Mike O&#8217;Meara does. His Charly doing the Arsenio Dog Pound cheer was one of the funniest bits he ever did, but the Hurricane Charly was the best ever. My least favorite &#8212; Cousin Luigi, which is just not that funny, and of course when they get too much into the bathroom humor.<\/p>\n<p>They have been through a lot over the years, mostly self-inflicted, but they keep me laughing while I sit in Dulles Toll Road traffic after working late. So, Don &#038; Mike, thank you for your twenty years of <i>service<\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My mother will certainly be excited to know that The Don &#038; Mike Show is celebrating their 20th anniversary.
