Christopher Walken singing scorpions is a much better bit than whatever movie he had Walken quoting last time.

Did Tom welch on his bet that he had to do a Tom Can't Complain show if he didn't get enough calls from separate states? Actually pretty disappointed if so.

Edit: Oh woops. Wasn't far enough into the most recent show when I posted this. He said he'll do it for part of the show soon.

The Dark Side show was meh. Tom making fun of people who called in to complain about him playing was good.

The week after, 10/11, has Tom saying "are you all familiar with MySpace" which is a fuckin time warp

I actually really like it when Tom talks about timely things because often it's pop culture stuff I have not been keeping up with and know very little about outside of people on the internet mentioning it. This has the result of Tom bitching about it and me having only Tom's perspective to judge from which more often than not is hilarious.

I forgot to post how happy I was when Tom sang the bass part of Yes’ Heart of the Sunrise to James Murphy. I hear him gearing up for it, and I knew James was going to appreciate it. LCD Soundsystem played a snippet of the song during their ‘last show’ at Madison Square Garden in 2011.

My favorite recurring gag with Wurster calls is Jon botches a pronunciation and then makes fun of how Tom says it. It's so stupid and simple.

10/11 has Jon calling in as Horse from Jock Squad doing a great parody of tech support and frat comedies. He smashed Tom's computer. Also Matt Walsh from UCB calls in.

10/18 Andy from Lake New bridge calls in and does my favorite broad category of Wurster call: a surprisingly normal call, usually them bullshitting about music, that suddenly goes completely off the rails

In this case Andy is a carp calling from Aquamans Summer place

Aquaman has a "little toot problem" and basically is a butthole to the fish and Andy and his gang don't put up with it. This call is wild.

10/25 is a Ladies Only show. He makes an exception and happens to get Garret Wilson from One on One News, who got twelve people in yoga class sent to jail for being satanists. Good call.

I think by now the entirety of New bridge wants Tom dead

I heard it as "Todd Schnorpling" once which is how I refer to the show in my head now and forever. The best show with Todd Schnorpling

Pretty sure the standout from last night's episodes was the Andy call. There's something wonderful about the ones that start as two guys just bullshitting about music with a casual knowledge that's loving breathtaking and then Tom asks a question whose answer sends the whole thing spiraling out of control, until Andy is telling him about how he's the don of Lake Newbridge, and Aquaman is a cokehead who makes fish help him move furniture, and also Andy is in a band called Carp ADM

That moment right before the bomb drops, when you know the twist is coming and you're just waiting to hear it, is sublime

I was thinking of David Cross for an embarrassing amount of time during the call.

Edit 1: A Hollywood Handbook listener asking Tom if he’d won any awards for his music videos made me laugh.

She desperately needs to go on the can't call every week list that Avalanche Bob is on (though I still like his calls most of the time, and she has always been terrible.) Or Tom needs to Bad Company her every time she calls in. He is too nice.

Her call was kind of useless because he would have been that nice even if it was not a Tom Can't Complain show
