Hey, maybe one of you guys can help me find something I was looking for. It was a call from the little kid Mac and it was/is featured in the Gems podcast. Mac was reading a book about metal and Wurster calls in and fucks with him pretending to be the bassist from some cock rock band that was featured in it. Hilarious call but I can't find it in the gems archive and I know it was there at one point. Those don't get deleted over time right?

Also, the ban is long over. We need a new thread title.

Yes what should I new title be? Also, how do I change the title or can only a mod do it?

I see 3 new posts and immediately think Tom has finally called it quits.

I knew about that, but I'm talking about a comprehensive list like this:http://buffcoat.blogspot.com/

Only with links to the calls.

Edit: Links to JUST the calls, I mean. I guess it isn't too hard to find the calls on the Best Show archives but I'd like to download a bunch of them and listen to them on my ipod.

That's why they call me BAD COMPANY and I can't deny.

The Steve Albini interview was fantastic. His follow through on tops distaste for lovely beards was absolutely spot on. I know he makes claims of this being his last show, but after listening for two/ three years I've let that go. Hell be back sooner or later.

Something should go in the op about Tom fake quitting every week because people keep half believing it.

Didn't he say a few weeks back that they were doing 15 more Best Shows? His tone and the way he said it sounded pretty drat sincere to me. I've heard him talk about quitting plenty of times and this was not like the usual "Geez, I think this is my last show, Mike." Not sure if that 15 more shows thing means he's going to take a break and then do the rest or what, but I don't think that was 15 weeks ago. I mean, he's been doing the show for over 10 years. I don't think it's completely out of the question that he would want to hang it up.

This week is definitely an episode of "Depravity's Rainbow with Therese and Mike " . Which is a shame, since I find Hatch fill-in weeks to be more entertaining.

As in I'm taking an offhand comment to be true or as in because he said it sincerely? Because like I said, what he said a few weeks ago was nowhere near like what he usually says.

Tom tweeted a question to Garry Shandling about the Larry Sanders Show, Shandling ignored him at first, Tom kept asking him, Shandling basically told him to gently caress off, Tom complained about it for a day or two and said he's going to really let Shandling have it next time he's on the radio.

Lol Mike managed to out-skeeve out Larry when he started talking about getting horny over Olympic gymnasts. "Dere pretty young dere Mike."

That episode was surprisingly good, mostly because Jason,Gregualtor, and Fredricks all called in with good calls.

The Mike and Therese hosted ones are usually pretty low key, but the Hatch hosted ones aren't always, it depends on who else is there (if anyone). [Both (?) times the low times crew were there were great] Of course both are a million times more dependent on the callers (especially since a Jon Wurster bit isn't going to be on the table).
