ElNarez posted: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. lmao i need to listen to this

Only about 45 min into the newest episode and Tom's bit about the Doors doing the Meatballs song is one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time. Also any time he talks about Red Hot Chili Peppers is also one of the funniest things I've heard in a long time. His review of Anthony Kiedis's autobiography was loving hilarious too. I think he secret likes "Danny California" though... Edit: Every time Tom says "Uplift Mofo Party Plan" is also really funny and I think it's probably more times than you would think.

This episode was completely, utterly brilliant. I thought it was a legit throwaway until I hit the halfway point or so.

100% live. Tom made it really subtle though. He knocked it out of the park and managed to nail a potentially cheesy concept. Edit: Anyone know who was Todd? It reminds me of old Jon Benjamin characters, but I don't know his voice well enough to know whether or not it was him. Know Such Peace fucked around with this message at 07:28 on Nov 12, 2016 |

There were some very obvious things but more subtly, I knew it was a thing because Tom actually got mad at a woman caller.

I feel like an idiot, I only listened to 30 minutes while doing chores. After listening to the whole thing it really is amazing. Best episode since the WFMU days probably.

The bit of "Guess which one of these Canadian tv shows is real" was one of the funniest things I've heard on this show.

Is there a reliable way to listen to the show live on an Android device? I've tried pasting the streaming link into VLC player, but that only works for about 15 minutes at best for me.

Blast it on your computer speakers so you can hear it anywhere while you sit on hold for 2 hours until you fall asleep.

Can someone help me remember a Wurster joke from earlier this year? When he plays the character who knows all about the Replacements, he mentions a band that's a real band name with an "and" added into it. He says that sometimes the and is a dog. What was that band name?

Wurster made reference to Chapel Hill institution Italian Pizzeria III tonight and I nearly did a spit take. "This must be how anyone in LA feels, listening to any and every other podcast!"

I listened from november 1st through christmas 05 and the difference between the show then and now is so stark. So many better callers. Stevie Blue, Purple Shirt, Officer Tom, no smoking joe, Spike, and again the most jarring thing is how the normal callers are actually engaging and interesting instead of meek humorless 30 somethings who feel the need to reference Yo La Tengo and other things Tom likes in a failure to ingratiate themselves. It's such a good stretch of the show if anyone wants to remember what things used to be like.

Internet mutants are sadly way less interesting than local radio caller mutants. The Tom rants and Wurster calls are still good though (although they've kinda given up on giving Wurster actual characters or bits and just rattle off a series of loosely-connected jokes every week). Anyway I'm really looking forward to the Hodgman/Hayes show next week & I'm curious to see what this 24/7 thing turns out to be.

I hope there is a chat component to the 24/7 thing. Good to hear from Julie. I love how she'll just barrel over Tom while he is setting up stuff. Tom has been more consistent the past few weeks with bringing a topic or idea to the table. It makes it easier to clear out the dudes, or at least trick them into saying something interesting. Next week is going to be a spectacular show. Edit: In case anyone skips the ending like I almost did, make sure you listen to the last two minutes of this week's episode. Tom makes a triumphant declaration to the soundtrack of the Rocky theme. Know Such Peace fucked around with this message at 09:12 on Dec 8, 2016 |
