Dave and Chuck "The Freak" (formerly The Morning X with Dave and Chuck "The Freak") is a radio morning show hosted by David Hunter, Charles (Chuck "The Freak") Urquhart, and Lisa Way. It was first broadcast on the radio station CIMX-FM (89X) in Windsor, Ontario from April 18, 2001 to November 7, 2012 on weekdays from 6am to 10am EST. After leaving 89X's lineup the show returned on May 28, 2013 after the show's hosts moved the show to the radio station WRIF (The RIFF) in Ferndale, Michigan where it airs weekday mornings from 6am to 10am replacing the Drew and Mike morning show.〔(It's official: Dave and Chuck 'the Freak' to replace Drew and Mike )〕 The show consists of several named segments in which the trio introduces a subject of discussion and takes calls from the listeners, plays games with them, informs them about current events and news, and updates them on the weather, traffic and sports. The show is best known for the moral dilemmas and raunchy/controversial topics (often related to abnormal sexual behavior) discussed with the listeners, the unique personalities of the radio hosts, Chuck's often-ridiculous shenanigans, and their many funny segments and running gags. In 2010 Metromix named Dave and Chuck "The Freak" Detroit's Best Morning Show, coming in first place in Detroit's highly competitive daytime radio scene, most notably against the famous morning shows Drew and Mike and ''Mojo In The Morning''.〔(Metromix Morning Show Contest 2010 goes to Dave and Chuck "The Freak" )〕 In early 2009, 89X added the ability to stream their broadcast on their website and released apps for the Android, iPhone, and BlackBerry smartphones for people to download and listen on their phones without the need for a radio. In addition to internet streaming of the show, Dave and Chuck "The Freak" at this time started recording their shows and putting it on the internet as podcasts for people to listen to whenever they wanted. It was because of this the show began to expand its audience outside of the Detroit/Windsor area reaching as far as Texas and the west coast and even farther to Japan as revealed during a segment on the show one morning. In recent years, it has also gained a significant amount of publicity from its arguably-offensive advertising campaign〔(89X Radio listeners respond to "B" Word billboard article. )〕 and the uproar of fans over the near-termination of its hosts due to an at-work joke taken too far. ==Curse of Dave and Chuck== Dave, Chuck and Lisa have noticed that bad luck tends to follow many celebrities around the time that they are on the show. They have concluded that there must be a curse associated with their morning show, and they have put out a warning on the radio to all celebrities to beware. They have even jokingly commented that they need to start inviting celebrities that they dislike to be on the show. Examples include Dog the Bounty Hunter, Kevin Smith, John Hughes (filmmaker) (who died miles away in New York City during the one and only time he was ever talked about on the show), and most notably Gary Coleman, who had a seizure just minutes after being interviewed by them,〔(Dr. Drew treats Gary Coleman after he suffers a seizure on "The Insider" set )〕 and was arrested for battery only days later.〔(Gary Coleman in jail over outstanding warrant )〕 They also think that Dave has a death curse. Whenever he would talk about a celebrity and thought they were already dead (but in reality still alive) would die shortly after. Also Chuck and Lisa believe that whomever Dave blesses will also die. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dave and Chuck "The Freak"」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
