Lowdown Radio: January 19, 2010

The Lowdown was on the air tonight without Jackie for the first time. Steve drafted in The Enge as Jackie’s replacement and the pair didn’t miss a beat. The show started with the return of the opinion segment called WTF. Steve took the opportunity to sound off on the poor quality of dental hygenists following a pre-show visit to the dentist that cost him pints of blood. That’s followed up with a listener email about Steve and Jackie’s poor Olympic roster preview. The guys then talk about the favourites for the Olympic hockey tournament. The news deals with Law and Order. With no Jackie to give us a single, Steve replaces it with the worst of music followed by It Came From YouTube. After the commerical break, the guys talk about Alex Burrows’ persecution complex and name the NHL’s halfway award winners. It’s a change of pace as far as hosts are concerned but the same old Lowdown insanity as far as the show is concerned.

On the Extra, there’s more of everything. The WTF is longer as Steve describes what the dental hygenist did to him in too much detail. There’s a more detailed breakdown of the surprises on the Canadian Olympic hockey roster. There’s another story on the news. Entertainment includes a look at Leno vs. Conan. After the break, there’s more on Burrows vs. Auger. There are also more NHL halfway awards given away. All told, it’s over sixty-five minutes of Lowdown Extra fun. As always, the action comes to you uncut and uncensored.

Lowdown Radio Classic: February 5, 2008

With Jackie out of the HQ for the foreseeable future while in Australia. He also won’t be on the show for the next couple months. It’s actually not an unprecedented event to see Steve without his partner in crime. So to give you a taste what we’re all in for, here’s the last time Steve went solo. On this vintage episode, Steve has to fend for himself without Jackie. But the show starts with Jackie interviewing world renowned relationship expert Dr. Guy Grenier. Following that, Steve helps guys try to pick up women with a good car by visiting the Car Wall. Then Steve previews the UWO USC Presidential election that was eventually won by the evil Stephen Lecce. After the break, it’s entertainment complete with the single of the week. Sports and entertainment are briefly hybrided with a rundown of the Super Bowl 42 commercials. Next are some quick Valentine’s tips… That aren’t exactly great as is typical for The Lowdown. The show wraps up with the return of Oddsmakers. Classic Lowdown greatness that is often imitated but never, ever duplicated.

Lowdown Radio: January 5, 2010

The U of WO is back in session and so is The Lowdown for 2010. As is the custom for the first episode of the new year, tonight’s episode was the year in review show. The show starts with a review of what happened in 2009 and predictions for 2010. One thing that doesn’t change in 2010 is that the news is about sex. Entertainment includes Jackie’s look at 2010 TV debuts as well as an Australian single and a unique It Came From YouTube. The show ends with the third annual Lowdown awards celebrating the great, the good, and the rubbish of 2009.

On the Extra, there are more stories analyzed from the past 12 months, more predictions, and more awards. The news includes two more stories about a dumb reason for being fired and attack monkeys. The Black Eyed Peas earn the first Worst of Music award of 2010. There’s also lots of added banter over the course of the show that had to be cut from the radio version. There’s an additional 56 minutes in this edition of the Extra to make it 1:24:36 long. That’s three times the length of a radio cut of the show and the longest episode of The Lowdown Extra ever. It is also the longest podcast ever produced by a UWO-related talk show. As always, the action comes to you uncut and uncensored.

Lowdown Radio Classic: January 6, 2009

While the next episode of The Lowdown is being scrambled together at the last possible second, let’s rewind the clocks one year. The next show will be the annual year in review. So what better time to review the crews’ predictions for 2009 than when they wrap the year up? On this vintage episode, Steve, his cousin, and The Enge review Rock Band 2. Steve even tries his hand at playing a real guitar after playing the video game axe. In the news, the guys talk about the best-selling 2009 calender on Amazon and why New Year’s Resolutions are bad. Steve debuts his short-lived Money Matters segment. Entertainment features two singles and Jackie’s preview of the winter TV season. After all of that, they finally get to the year in review portion of the show with the top stories of 2008 and predictions for 2009. The night is capped off with the second annual Lowdown Awards show.

Lowdown Radio Classic: December 23, 2008

It’s Christmas Day but that doesn’t mean that today’s vintage episode of The Lowdown is an old Christmas special. In fact, it’s our year-old Festivus special. On this episode of the show, the guys celebrate Festivus in the traditional way. It starts with the Festivus feast prepared by Jackie. They follow this up with their airing of grievances. There’s even a recap of Steve and Jackie’s Christmas carolling adventure. Along the way, the guys drop in some really weird music including the Festivus Song and Bob & Doug McKenzie’s 12 Days of Christmas. The show ends with the feats of strength in which Jackie attempts to pin Steve to end Festivus.

The Lowdown Radio: December 22, 2009

With Christmas just a couple of days away, it was time for the annual Lowdown Christmas Special. Last year’s Festivus show had some weird Christmas music, so the guys decided that they could do a full episode of weird and wacky Christmas music. There are a lot of bands that you’ve heard of that have made bad Christmas music and the gang has found some pretty embarrassing entries into their musical repertoires. There are seven weird songs on tonight’s episode.

This special online exclusive features our choices for the weirdest Christmas music out there. It’s 32 minutes and eight songs of head-scratching Christmas music and Lowdown insanity. As usual, all the action comes to you uncut and uncensored.
