Yeah. He's really gone. Tom quit too. I can't believe this is how it ended.

Man tonight's ep was great. Fun Wurster call, and the Entourage movie stuff was terrific

I know it's not really the best way to support the show, but if you're kinda broke and haven't listened to the "Best of Scharpling and Wurster" CDs yet, they're all up on Spotify now. Some of the best stuff they've ever done.. the Mother 13 on Everest segment is probably the funniest thing I've ever heard.

What a great episode, between making fun of Entourage for half the show and TWO laser whippings.

Wasn't expecting such chemistry between monster magnet and Matt Fraction. I thought it was a drat good episode even if it wasn't one of the funnier ones.

The Monster Magnet dude did an extended interview with Tom for Low Times last year that was fantastic great stories about growing up in Jersey, Alice Cooper getting in fights with Norman Mailer and pissing away record company money on purpose.

Apparently next week is going to be a pre-taped call in show (taped tonight Feb 21). So from Mr. Show sketch to reality.

Done! I had to email it in last week because I can't listen live, so I don't think my name got on the radio.

Speaking of which, I think this is the first year I'm actually listening to the marathon shows since I now have a podcast app where I can easily skip over the thanks.

I feel like such a piece of crap for listening for 6 years and never pledging. The drive always seems to come around when I am dead broke. One of these days I am just going to unload like $200 on WFMU when I actually have some money.

Have you considered doing the monthly donation? You can join their Swag For Life club for a minimum of $10 a month. You will still get a DJ premium plus a messenger bag.

George R.R. Martin being from Bayonne surprised me a lot then made perfect sense. (Oh yeah, Nathan For You really is fantastic by the way).

Or just kick in $10 once. It's whatever you can afford. The gesture's more important than the amount - you chip in a few bucks to show you care about the station.

I've never been able to afford anywhere close to a mouse pledge or a Y3K pledge or any of that, but I just feel a little better when I chip in my little bit. It's worth it for the hours of entertainment I get each week.

Seriously, I watched all the eps this week and was dying. The last scene of this week's ep was amazing in a "wait, what? this is so absurd it must have been scripted but this guy is obviously real" way. Nathan is really terrific at deadpan deliveyr.

In the recent episode, I think the event of a caller calling in asking about "Salo", Mike thinking he said "Shiloh" but going on to describe "Shoah" is Ap Mike in a nutshell.

IS there a new episode? I couldn't find it on iTunes or the WFMU app but I don't remember any Salo talk so maybe it just hasn't been uploaded yet?

Its a "Depravity's Rainbow" . I didn't listen to it live, I got it off iTunes

If setting the Sustain Level in the ENV to around 7, you can obtain a howling sound.

Man, I love Mike but I cannot hang with Therese at all. She's like a one-woman high school drama club just shrieking out everything.

A couple of months ago Tom played a song by Giorgio Moroder and I can't remember what it was called. Anyone remember what the song was or which episode it was on?

STUPID LIFE
Previously announced as A Bad Idea I’m About to Do, this show’s script is based on comedian Chris Gethard’s (The Chris Gethard Show, The Other Guys, This American Life) recent autobiographical book of the same name. Tom Scharpling (The Best Show on WFMU, Monk) is series executive producer and co-creator. Gethard and Scharpling are co-writing the pilot script.

Maybe, possibly, hopefully someday coming to IFC.
