I convinced my girlfriend to call in and tell Tom about the dreams she'd had about him.

I knew he'd ask about Columbus bands and gave her the answer before she called.

My wife is convinced she knows Kat from Raleigh from college. I both want to confirm this but it may be best to never know.

She posted about the tvtropes thing in the FOT Facebook group if you feel like going down that rabbit hole.

(The group is mostly fine.)

Archives update: 3-29-05 has Mike Sajak calling back in to ask Tom to testify for him as a character witness

I didn't think Mike Sajak could work for more than one call but it turns out he rules

Is there a way to get the archive of the show in an RSS stream for a podcast app or just download the whole thing? I've only seen the old ones where you have to stream them on the website.

If you Google best show mega.co you'll find an archive of every wfmu episode, it's what I'm using

Archive post: the last episode had people voting on if Petey or Officer Tom should get into the brand new FOT HOF and chiming in on other regular callers. One guy said he hated Philly Boy Roy, and the next call was Roy defending himself

Ruled

Also an irritating kid called in, his mom yelled at him, Tom managed to get the mom on the phone, and then told her to beat the kid for being awful

Edit this one has Officer Tom prepping for Jeopardy, also here's the archive https://mega.co.nz/#F!IhMUHSbT!bd9x_zzfj2lFfm8_dkvD_A

This one also has Tim and Eric taking a Wurster call and I'm dying

Well, since it was a promotional call, not a regular mutant, let's give it a 6.

Also, the cookie hacker can call every episode for all I care. (Snack hacker?)

Yes, the show is about Oreos now.

Was it the Angry Whopper or candy bar talk that started the shift to a food review podcast? Is it still a list show as well?

I can’t wait for both the top 50 #snacks and the top 50 #wacks episodes.

It's the weekend which means it's time to listen to the archives!

Tonight's episode is 4/26/05, with Hippy Johnny calling in about his music festival and officer Tom practicing for Jeopardy and being really bad at it. I don't enjoy officer Tom.

I'm finding that I enjoy Wursters short weird one off calls that are just about the topic of the moment as much if not more than the long bits

He just did one where Tom was talking NBA and he called talking about how the Washington generals got replaced and the new team was totally going to smoke the Globetrotters that was great

E now a guy is calling in about feral cat hunting and how he's going to move just to hunt feral cats and open the world's first feral cat hunting lodge. He fuckin rules
E2 Andrew Earles rules
E Four Wurster calls tonight! Four! The fourth one is him making fun of a guy who called in offering to smoke Tom up. He pretends to smoke weed on the air before yelling OOOOOOOH THATS GOOOOOOOD WEEEEEED. You can keep your Mayubenortial debate or your Gas Station Dogs or your Power Pop-Pop, I just want Wurster shouting GOOOOOOOD WEEEEEEEED

I haven’t listened yet. Was Harris brought up at all on the show? I know Joe Mande just put out a special and guested on Doughboys to promote it, but it was super weird hearing him discuss chain restaurant cuisine whilst sounding just like Harris Wittels. He even went to the same college.

5/3 was kinda mediocre. No good calls, no real bad ones.

5/10 is great, Tim and Eric call in about their new projects with Abc Family, including the film HackyShaq

E: 5/10 ends with Petey, who I'm hit or miss on, singing Dylan's knocking on heavens door, and every single part of that phrse is used only in the loosest sense

It's been two weeks with no Wurster calls though, the last one was GOOOOOOOD WEEEEEEEED and it feels weird. Like dad went out for cigarettes and I don't know when he's coming g home
