Title: Why no Ted Leo or Aimee Mann?
Post by: kouzie on February 19, 2016, 10:26:08 AM
As two of Tom's more frequent guests on the old show, wonder why they haven't made an appearance on the new show. Is there a showbiz beef?

Ted, Aimee and others have just been very busy, just like Tom & crew. It's most likely just that. Silence doesn't imply bad vibes (a vast majority of the time, anyway.)

I was going to ask the same thing about John Hodgman.

I know he's a friend of PFT though, so that may have something to do with it? I hope JH and TS are still friends: they're my two favourite people!

Ted, Aimee and JH are regular guests on Big Brother Ron's The Real Best Show. Last week Ron and Ted had a rollicking conversation about youth crew NYHC, Celtic Frost and vegan tamales.

that's right i forgot... JH was in the studio when Obama called in. Never realised the president was such a big fan of Battlestar Galactica and David Rees

Of all the weird .gifs I've seen, that has to be the weirdest of them all.

and KV!  I guess he's on tour or whatever.  I always love KV's calls.

He was an on-stage guest at the S&W show in Philly.

I'm reviving this thread because I listen to the archives all the time and Ted and Aimee were frequent guets/friends and obviously very crucial to the show at one time. Today I noticed Tom doesn't follow either on social media and vice versa. There must be a story there...?

Same with Jen Kirman for that matter.
