Lowdown Extra: February 2, 2010

The Lowdown radio show was supposed to air tonight but was pre-empted for reasons beyond our control. So what was originally supposed to be the Valentine’s and USC Election special was pulled from the radio lineup and made a Lowdown Extra exclusive podcast. Tonight’s show starts with Steve and his special guest co-host exploring dating advice in popular music. They also look at different words that mean pretty. Though that is sidetracked with a series of very random discussions that range from profanities that can be used on the radio to crazy stories. The news is the old standby classic of stories of love gone wrong. Entertainment features Young Money winning the coveted Worst of Music prize. And it’s a double dip on It Came From YouTube. It starts with a rock mashup of Pants on the Ground followed by Conan O’Brien and company covering the hit Free Bird. And yes, we play the whole damn thing. After the break, it’s hockey talk with an actual hockey player. It’s a look at violence in the game. There’s a lot of great insight on how suspensions are actually doled out by leagues. All this and more is covered on this web-exclusive Lowdown Extra that runs for over an hour-and-a-half. It’s 94 minutes more of entertainment than you would have had if we weren’t so hell-bent on revolutionizing talk radio.

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.

The Lowdown was on-air tonight with a repeat episode of the show. This episode, billed under the label “Previously Enjoyed”, originally aired on February 3, 2009. That was our special Valentine’s Day edition of the show. On tonight’s episode, Steve and Jackie try out pickup lines in a bar, then they come up with a list of love songs that aren’t really love songs but kind of are, they talk about celebrity crushes, Steve goes to the Winter Homecoming hockey game, and Jackie ends the night by trying to teach folks how to cook only to be sabotaged by Steve.
