FirstPersonShitter posted:man, I started listening to that 6 hour show, and holy poo poo the start of it. A spike call, then july from Cincinnati calls in to do a weird show and spike calls into her show. She gets mad at him for liking pork, and it's like Tom is running an actual nuthouse.

The WFMU shows are just plain better. Most of them are really good as well so you don't need specific recommendations, but if you like Wurster calls you can use this site and go through all of them, or characters you like. http://newbridgenavigator.pythonanywhere.com/

I don't get emotional about celeb deaths, even when it's someone who meant a lot to me like Bowie did, but there was something about that stupid sound collage that was really kinda moving. Maybe how the vocal isos sounded so raw, or just the different context for all those familiar sounds. Got a little choked up! Good one, Tom.

If the original Best Show Gems feed is still around, go find the 2008 Newbridge Mayoral debate.

I think my favorite part of the idea of Mutants On The High Seas is that it would have a literal Port of Call: Bayonne. (There is a major cruise ship terminal in Bayonne.)

I'm like massively, massively behind on Best Show, but another thing I was listening to recently either had a Best Show reference or I just assume everything is Best Show-related. https://www.dropbox.com/s/b565yl3xpxufnnj/Jest.mp3?dl=0 So this is a clip from the BBC Wales panel game "Jest a Minute" (from 2009, even) where, unless I completely miss my guess, one of the panelists goes full Wurster for a moment.

Seems like a case of parallel thinking to me. If he was going full Wurster he would've mentioned how they only aired it once.

Really want to see Boogie in the Space Jam remake now. Or maybe Russ Westbrook, he can't be a worse actor than Jordan, plus the clothes and dunks alone would be worth it. woof, that stretch in the last hour was some prime Depressed Tom Illinois Smith fucked around with this message at 21:17 on Feb 17, 2016 |

Unless you want to get hung up on as a badge of honor or something, I really do not understand how often people fall for it when they say "Oh I thought you'd hang up on me" or "I just don't want to be hung up on" and then Tom says "What? What did you say? You don't what what to happen?" and then the person repeats themselves and Tom hangs up on them. REALLY? How many times have you listened to the show? Twice? Do you really not know what he's doing?

Tom Talks To Kids has been a part of the show since the beginning. Like, one of the weirdest shows of 2001 is when he lets three teenage girl callers guest host. Petey was a big part of the early years and so were various other groups of kids, like the ones he challenged to a fight for all their Christmas presents. I'll take Tom talking to an overwhelmed 5-year old over a slew of confused adult dudes any day. Illinois Smith fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Feb 18, 2016 |

I normally don't mind the kids but something about the one that started the show just gave me a headache. That's what I get for listening before I have any caffiene.

I like when Tom talks to kids because you can tell that he enjoys it. Agreed that I would take kid callers over bland dudes calling about topics from 2 weeks ago any day

It's better when the kid is intelligible. The kid who asked about Bob's burgers a few weeks ago was good - this one less so.

The best non-Petey kid call is still Tom & PFT making fun of Milo's D&D campaign. Starts about an hour in, also listen to the preceding Michael K call where nobody quite knows who got trolled at the end for the full experience. https://wfmu.org/flashplayer.php?version=2&show=36187&archive=61434

I really just want to overhear the conversation that must take place between one of these parents and their kid where the parent has to convince the kid to talk to a stranger over the radio.
