The Matt and Dan Show left WMTU with a blast, playing a continuous show that was 64 hours long. This is their story.
Our 64 hour long radio power weekend gets extended to 64.5 hours. Dan talks about how his basement flooded; he lives in hell. The Goof arrives and speaks about how flooding has impacted his life. We sing along to Come Sail Away; it's beautiful."

Hazardous weather warning. We play clips from our "The Best of the Matt and Dan Show Collection".
Dan takes over the show and probably plays music that he's already played before. We play a comedian on radio who tells jokes about smart phones. DJ Elissa Barris helps out with the music selection because I've forgotten what I've played already. Just before the end Dan ruins Billy Joel's - Longest Time by turning the microphones on.
Good music. Matt thinks the phone cord turned into a snake. Sometimes he forgets what he's saying and just says the station ID. Matt says the number 5, 5 times; It's everything a guy could ever dream for.
Matt reads Nicki Minaj's "Superbass". Dan goes to sleep for a couple of hours and Matt fights the good fight and stays up and mans the radio station.
It is now 1 AM and Matt is starting to lose it. He keeps finding sticky notes that tell him to do things. Matt reads 'Where the Wild Things Are', and then we take turns reading poem requests. Curious George squeezes his way in there too.
Intern DJ Jordan Wojdula is bringing down the house-y and then he tells you stories about Hitler. Then we start reading everything we can find in the station. Some great rock/indie covers get played.
We play 2112 through a fire drill. Then Matt and Dan talk about how many school bus lengths long 2112 is. Some harmonica and tambourine effects added to some songs. A lot of youtube videos are interspersed throughout this segment.
We need more cowbell. Bill Cosby shows up, but we have to tell him to shut up. More comedy stuff and some music. We finish with stories from Matt's childhood.
Forty Fifth Hour. Matt took karate to increase his reflectivity. This segment is full of goofy songs full of humor.
Matt tells a reoccurring joke about Johny Depp and John C. Reily playing Beauty in our future radio drama 'Beauty and the Beastiality' which never happens. A really awesome PSA is played about skin cancer at the end, which we discuss in the next segment.

We play a bunch of cartoon theme songs and get a few requests. Dan is so tired he can't say words.
Matt can't do math because he can't see through metal. Conversation about movie trailers that completely give away the plot of the movie.
So far, ALL MUSIC ALL DA' TIME EH'. Playing a sampling of music being played on WTHS 89.9 (Hope College), it turns out they have really good taste in music. William Shatner and Leonard Nemoy show up.
A large block of seriously good classic rock music (probably got some requests from parents). We also tap into some serious Alice's Restaurant.
Matt takes over after the Ambien(t) hour, falls asleep after saying a bunch of really stupid stuff, and Dan takes over for a while.

Still more top 50. Dan talks about dead philosophers. Some traffic updates.
More of the top 50 playlist. Antics include a totally off-the-cuff performance of a song from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Dan starts off his Top 50 playlist. Later, we tell stories of how we needlessly accidentally hurt ourselves or our ego or both at the same time. These stories are really funny.
Not much to say other than we play music and Matt starts to sound really stupid between tracks.
The Morning Zoo, later on we have a discussion about donkeys and the pledge of allegiance. Following that we talk poorly about astronomers.
We play a bunch of one hit wonders and closer to the end some more eclectic music.
The first Ambien(t) Hour. Harvey and Will play (mostly) post-rock and try to soothe people who are (supposedly) tripping on Ambien.
Harvey and Dan talk about movies, and we mostly just play more music. You can sort of tell that we're getting a little sleepy. Matt reads you a book about astronomy.
Dan and Harvey take over for a while, behind the scenes I tried to get my computer working so we could play some music but it wouldn't connect to the local network and we gave up.
