I think it's hilarious how Greggulator's voice has not changed since he was a kid on Carmen Sandiego but his body has and he looks like a late 30 something year old man now.

Edit: I mean he is a guy somewhere in his 30s but that juxtaposed with his voice is still funny to me.

The context is all there in the episode; Tom has been talking poo poo about the Impractical Jokers with a mix of envy and a long slow arc that went from contempt to legitimate admiration for several years now.

Also what in the world was that Beach Boys thing

That sounds like it could be Avalanche Bob before 40-50 years of meth addiction

I thought exactly the same, when he started talking about 1959, "Oh, this dude has really lost it" And then the dude had a for real rockabilly yodel on 45. But this also feels like an apex. He's gonna try to write AD Mike dot BandFan dot Comb and it's gonna be torturous.

The pictures on twitter were hilarious, they were all taken against the backdrop of a stove. Tom was obviously hating it but not wanting to be a dick to Mike's friend.

This post he typed in cold blood with a toothpick

The thing that throws me about this is that, unless Avalanche Bob recorded this as a teenager, he has to be pushing at least 80. How old is this dude, how has he kept up with his weird thing for so long, and how the hell did he find out about TBS?

In older shows, his New Jersey accent is soooo much thicker and he sounds 15 years younger. It is crazy how much his voice has changed over the years. And that's supposed to be from when he was a teenager iirc

Holy poo poo that's what greggulator looks like? I pictured like, the skinny guy from clerks, not a beaten up PI.

Also looking forward to Agent Mike dot band com by Avalanche Bob.

It was kinda sad hearing that old record though. Before he was an insane gibbering loon.

Tonight's episode has been awesome. Top 100 Blowhards, the return of Wurster, call-ins from Kurt Vile and Hayes Davenport... just a real A+ corker.

When Hayes calls in, at first he pretends he's Avalanche Bob and it's the best.

I'd have to go through the archives to get a sense of if it's at all true, but I feel like when Wurster calls after a long break, they tend to do more casual riffing about rock trivia than elaborate Newbridge high jinks.

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

People cursed on air without it getting covered up twice is the reason I guess. It's one of those nights were a lot of the callers are spectacularly bad as well. I forgot it was from 2006 and reference to the Sopranos season finale, using a payphone, and Shaq still playing basketball through for a loop.

It's clear enough once you hear it, but if you don't have the two hours to get through it the show starts going off the rails when Tom plays the trailer to Clerks 2 and lets a curse word go through. Then Pat from Verona calls and tells Tom about the time-space continuum. It's that kind of show.

I think it was the joke about Celebrity Apprentice and Trump.

e: i lolled so hard when he let the curse through. I used to do college radio and that's exactly the protocol if there's an accidental curse: don't reference it, keep going on like nothing happened. Someone's actually gotta make a complaint to the FCC inorder to get a fine. We used to have Christian crazies listen 24 hours a day, try to be able to ding people for cursing or forgetting a station ID. If it's a tiny little station, they'll go under and a religious radio station or a ClearChannel could buy the newly freed up licence.

Tom let a swear through on the air and he forgot to read the station ID? Or give the phone number out? No wonder this never got archived.

In all seriousness it's a huge relief to hear Tom's okay. We need Kid Jersey more than ever here on Planet Toilet.

I'm pretty sure that it's not actually from 2006. There's a bunch of stuff about time traveling 10 years into the future, and, y'know, it ends with a collage. The oblique reference to Celebrity Apprentice starting in a year and that Tom doesn't have an opinion about Trump probably plays into that as well.
