Drew believes this may be the worst interview in the history of Drew and Mike. It’s not, but it may be up there. Drew and Mike interview these two clowns who made a list of “Best Celebrity Butts.” Drew is suspicious of their motives. Original air date, May 12, 2003:
The List:
Drew and Mike interviewed Joseph Gottschalk on May 8, 2003. He lived in San Antonio, Texas and gained notoriety in 2003 because he had a preference for riding his bicycle in only his thong. 44 days later, on June 21st, Mr. Gottschalk was found dead in Big Bend National Park. His death was eventually ruled a suicide.

Two clips of Drew and Mike talking about Sommie:
Paul Livi will never forget the story of the haunted house in Emeryville, Ont. Not because the CBC network analyst believes in ghosts, but because of the scary thing that happened to the CBC.ca website.
The story on CBC Radio was terrifying. For several months in early 1997, Debbie and Dwayne Tamai of the small town of Emeryville had been terrorized by an electronic intruder.
“Sommy,” as the invisible assailant called himself, took over the Tamai’s entire house. He turned appliances on and off at will, eavesdropped on phone calls and voicemail, and caused the lights to flicker and the TV to change channels.
The media dubbed it “The Emeryville Horror,” speculating that a hacker or cyber-stalker was to blame for a haunting worthy ofPoltergeist.
Actually, it was the Tamai’s 15-year-old son, Billy.
The unhappy teen eventually confessed that he was simply flicking the basement circuit breaker and picking up extension phones to freak out his parents.
CBC Radio wasn’t the only media outlet suckered by “Sommy.” NBC and The Discovery Channel sent in teams of security experts to sweep the Tamai’s house, and the Toronto Sun included the tale in a story headlined, “Who knows what evil lurks deep in the heart of… CYBERSPACE.”
But the day Sommy’s identity was revealed, a real cyber-intruder made CBC pay for being so gullible.
Drew announces his new twitter account for the podcast, which leads to a decision on “twitter trolls” which leads to the guys talking about Connor Cook’ Dad Twitter story. However, as soon as Drew mentions the Detroit Sports Rag. M.L. Elrick however reacted violently to the mere mention of the DSR and Jeff Moss, calling him a Puke and talking about his funeral (it gets really awkward for a minute):

NY Daily News Story on what happened:
DARRYL STRAWBERRY keeps striking out – even if his days on the baseball diamond are long over. The former Mets and Yankees slugger is in trouble with the law again, this time for concocting a phony tale about a stolen SUV, Florida police said yesterday. Delray Beach police charged Strawberry with filing a false report over the missing SUV, which turned up – with his wallet – behind a bar in Lake Worth, Fla. The troubled former jock – who’s struggled with cocaine, colon cancer and paying his taxes – had reported the rented Nissan Murano stolen on Sept. 17, claiming it disappeared during a cigarette run to a convenience store. But a store surveillance tape showed Strawberry driving away in a different car, said police spokesman Jeff Messer.
He admitted lying to cops, Messer said, and was charged with a misdemeanor. Strawberry told the Daily News yesterday that the whole incident was a “misunderstanding” – and gave a different account than cops. He said the trouble started when he lent the SUV to a male friend he knows from Alcoholics Anonymous. He said the man in turn lent the SUV to a woman Strawberry doesn’t know. That’s when, Strawberry said, he filed a police report. “It was a mistake on my part,” Strawberry said. “I should have never loaned this guy my car to begin with. He’s no longer my friend.
I’ve added a lot of new audio this past week. Not all make it to the front page, but they all make the best of page.
