The Newbridgeverse is fantastically insane. I'm surprised that with all the big-name comedians on his show all the time that there hasn't been a pilot for a sitcom written by Scharpling set in Newbridge.CaptainPsyko posted:Edit: We should probably put together a simple 'Getting Up To Speed with The Show' FAQ for new listeners to the OP. Basic stuff like 'Who is this Wurster dude?', 'What's the Ban?', and 'Why are all of these callers so dumb?' and introductions of a few of the more regular cast of characters would be a good start. I had actually been working on an OP for Best Show and I was planning to include all of that, but never finished it because holy goddamn that would be alot of poo poo to write out (plus this thread got posted first, there goes my monopoly on WFMU threads.) Anyway, if you want to look at it and use some of it to make an FAQ, be my guest.

That's usually how it is, Tom will generally play a bunch of songs at the top of the show. If you want a music-free version go with the podcast, they have to edit out the music for licensing reasons.Roosevelt posted:Have any of you guys ever called in? I've thought about it before but Tom scares me. I don't have the guts. Maybe I'll practice on Seven Second Delay first, Ken and Andy are usually dying for calls.

HaterBaby posted:Has anybody figured out a way to get the mp3's off the archives from before six weeks ago or whatever the cutoff is? I'd like to listen to the June 15, 2010 episode mentioned above but I can't sit at my computer for three hours to do it. I would hope that this isn't illegal since it's not a for-profit radio station.

I just saw Tom pour his heart into Killing in the Name Of during the marathon finale. I never thought he would actually do it.

Overall I think the Wurster bits used to be alot funnier back in like 08 when I first started listening HOWEVER I cannot hate Wuster, ever. Even on his worst days he makes me laugh.

Oh poo poo. Why is it all the good WFMU shows have to end. Except Seven Second Delay which I was certain was going to end years ago, but you know whatever I ain't gonna complain about that one.

SuppressdPuberty93 posted:I'm a cuple episodes behind on the podcast, has Tom reveiled what he's going to do after the show? Is he going to TV? Tom's actually already getting his foot in the door, he's a voice actor on Steven Universe, he plays Steven's dad. Also Chris Gethard's announcement was that TCGS is going to be filming a pilot for comedy central so that's cool.

I'm not quite ready to call Newbridge dead yet. Not sure what format it'll take but apparently Newbridge will never die.

I'm sitting here in silence not knowing what to do with myself. I know if I put on music I'll invariably go for Superchunk or The Mountain Goats and that'll just make me feel even worse.

Also does anyone know what episode it was where the Wurster call had a detailed retelling of the Trent L. Strauss directed final episode of Laverne and Shirley (It only aired once!)

Snowy posted:If you're interested in Dave Hill's show and don't hate Seven Second Delay, the last episode has Dave as a guest and serves as his intro to the station. Dave does well with this trial by fire, and won me over with his vast knowledge of 80's rock guitarists along with his good manners. I seem to be the only person that actually LIKES seven second delay on earth so yes I agree.

CaptainPsyko posted:I took that quote to mean that Scharpling and Wurster still probably won't curse, but he's not going to waste time yelling at guests and callers about it. "I had to bleep you" was one of my favorite running jokes in Wurster calls though, I wonder how that'll be handled now.
