this reminded me of an idea i had for the Best Show. it would be called the Wurst Show and basically it would be the antithesis of the Best Show on WFMU. of course, it would be a one-off kinda thing and instead of Tom hosting, Jon would. he would take all of the calls and initiate topics, etc. and Tom would call in as some characters (maybe something like Jersey Boy Floyd).

..what? i'd listen to it.

Spacebootz,

Some of the funniest few bits have Tom as the caller.  Check out "Jack from Pittsburgh calls the Shark Tank" from the archives.

January 28, 2003: Very Exciting In-Studio Visit From Tanner Wildgrass, The Inspiration For Patrick Swayze's Character In 'Roadhouse'. Also, Tom Makes A Call To The Sports Radio Program 'The Shark Tank' As Super-Idiot Steelers Fan 'Jack From Pittsburgh'. | http://www.wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=6431 (http://www.wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=6431)

As would I...then again some jerks might call up for the sole purpose of unmasking this beloved character.
SCREEN LIKE THE WIND MIKE!
