i definitely would have to relisten to a lot of episodes to chime in on the other categories..

[btof]

Listening to the 7.21.09 episode and forgot that in addition to the call from the guy in line at the Mighty Boosh and the guy who was thinking about following Tom on Twitter, there is more saddest/most delusional caller potential. I throw Realize into the ring for his terrible impersonation of Tom. It is around 1:33 mark on the podcast

[Reeleyes]

I wasn't delusional. I knew it was terrible but it was certainly sad.

Sorry Reeleyes.  Delusional might have been a tad strong.  I want nominees that are different than the usual suspects.  Saddest call works for me

How about best bad Tom impression (mine was better than Wally's).

You really know how to confuse a guy's feelings Fredericks.

Best Heave-Ho: TIE: Total sleeper but, 3/31/09 an unnamed caller calls in at the last minute to ask Tom what was his favorite moment of the Delocated season finale (DIG IT UP...it's incredible) b/w Jen Kirkman's husband.

Tom, is it alright if I too nominate the "Gathering Of the Juggalos" as "best segment?" 

[masterofsparks]

Best Mike Show Call: Greg X-Mas Time (from the band Hayride; makes fun of every caller preceding him and then tells the best childhood trauma story)

Nice one. I'd thought about this but couldn't remember the guy's name. That guy should call again.

this is why you win my heart.  as best caller. 

[happyfluke]

Best Call: Larry Da Perv 5/12/09 (Patton Oswalt/Amiee Mann Episode)

That call had me falling off the couch, even just listening again now I started getting sore laughing at Patton and Tom imitate Larry Da Perv as a unicorn.

[nicole]

The obvious:

Best caller: Fredericks
Worst: Spike

I have to add Best Original Score / Musical Collaboration: Explosion / Piranha 3D (incredible)

There were so many insane amazing Best Show moments in 2009, but I have to throw Mike some credit for getting that Kevin Smith interview. That KILLED. Tom's interjections completely cracked me up.
