Is Mike Wysocki still on DVE? I dont listen to the morning show as much anymore because it is a shell of its former self without Krenn. Though I still listen from time to time, and haven't heard Wysocki in a while. Ive also noticed that he is doing those podcasts now with Jim Krenn. Some of his stuff is lame, but Wysocki can be pure gold on occasion. Also, I noticed that there haven't been any new comedy bits on DVE from him since early March. Just curious...

I don't listen to the show every day, but I flip back and forth between DVE, 105.9 and 93.7 on my way in to work.
I haven't heard Wysocki on in a while. Their new in-house comedy guy is Bill Crawford, who is...OK. I do like Baumann and while some of Paulsen's skit-related humor seems dated, I'm glad he's back for 1) the Spitchokenpuke sports reports, many of which I think are brilliant, and 2) some of his non-sports related discussions, particularly on music and current events.
I became a big fan of the DVE Morning Show when it was Paulsen and Krenn in the mid-90s. The stuff they did was absolutely hysterical. When Paulsen left, I initially liked the direction the show took when Randy joined up. He's a funny guy, brilliant musician and kind of brought a bit of a fresh viewpoint to the show. At some point within the last few years, Krenn seemed to really lose his fastball. The last couple of weeks that he was on, there was a really awkward tension on the show.
I'd love to know exactly what the story was there with him and ClearChannel. As far as I know, he and Baumann never clashed, so I don't think it was a situation where creative differences between the two forced one out. I heard it was mostly money and ClearChannel basically making the call to change the direction of the show and phase him out. I do think it was strange that a guy who was so synonymous with that station never really got a chance to say goodbye.

Was he drunk?
