For those of you in the Memphis area I'm sure you know who I am talking about. Drake and Zeke was one of my favorite radio shows in Memphis to listen to in my 8 years here. RIP Zeke

Unbelievable. Incredibly sad.

I have been listening to them for over 20 years. First Bad Dog and now Zeke. Memphis is losing it's last few radio icons.

This just sucks. I used to play golf with Zeke and Tony Brooks some. Memphis lost a good one today.

Drake and Zeke's public service announcements in Spanish were legendary. Always ended the sentence with...."puta". Good stuff.

Bad Dog & Zeke were the icon of "Memphis Radio". IMO.
2 big losses.

Hat, you missed the peak of Rock 103 back in the 90s/early 2000s. Wake Up Crew with Tim Spencer, Bev Hart, and Bad Dog McCormick and then Drake and Zeke in the afternoon was awesome radio.

I still miss the old wake up crew.

I still have a few "Best of the Wakeup Crew" cassettes. FWIW.

Those three in the morning had the best flow/chemistry of any show I've ever listened to... Bad Dog's laugh was the funniest thing in the world to me. Zeke's voice was the same way. Just SO unique.

You can blame it all pretty much on Tim Spencer for the downfall. Clear Channel made him programming director and it ruined everything. Drake and Zeke both had a pretty bitter taste toward Tim over the whole thing and that's why they left. Bev was then fired along with several others. Ric Chetter used to have a blog that I read where he pretty much laid it all out after he left Rock 103 to start Radio Memphis.

Here you go, DCD. He lays it all out in the 3-part podcast.

Thanks.

That was the best of Memphis radio. Wake Up Crew on the morning, Drake and Zeke in the afternoon.
