I hope so as well, Dave From Knoxville. I think I could listen to you read the phone book.

Geez guys, all this unconditional love is unexpected and undeserved. If you get to know me, you will learn what a jerk I am. If Tom will allow it, I will read from the phone book the next time I get through.

Watch out, Dave from Knoxville - America builds up its heroes so high only to glory in their destruction.

Reread your Icarus - stay at a comfortable cruising altitude, buddy!  Don't let them hagiographize you!

The side of the metaphorical road is littered with the dessicated carcasses of former supercallers. Someday soon I may call that ditch my own resting place.

I got to listen to most of the first hour live, then my son needed to write a paper on the implications of the theory of relativity on the concept of freewill. If I seem to be blaming the boy, it's not intended; as much as I love The Best Show, it comes way after devotion to family on my priority list.

I should have just not called at all, but I was so anxious to let Tom know how excited I was that he was doing the show, that I went ahead after only hearing 2-3 minutes of the Ted Leo exchange that was going on at the time. I didn't hear the first part of Ted's call (until later on the archives), so was not aware that the topic had been changed. I was all prepared for "Things I Should Know That I Don't." I was not prepared for Take It/Leave It, and couldn't figure out why Tom kept saying "Take It". At first, I actually thought something was wrong with my phone.

Had I been better prepared, I would have gone with

Take It: Comedy (if it's good, it either makes you laugh or think)
Leave It: Comedy Zone

What I thought we would be talking about, a gaping hole in my own education, was "80's Punk." But my lesson in that subject's going to have to wait for another day. Maybe lucky for me the momentum wasn't stopped, as Roy was on hold, so Tom probably needed to be rid of me anyways.

In keeping with the spirit of this week's episode of 7 Second Delay, please accept my sincere and heartfelt apology, FOT community.

Personally, I do not demand an apology.  In fact, I am gladdened that now you finally know the shame and pain the rest of us non-supercallers have been dealing with all this time.

Yup, a glimpse of lead feet is good for the souls of the underachieving.

Have you checked his sock drawer lately?

Dave, imagine my horror when I called in and went through no screening process. One second I'm listening to the phone ringing, then suddenly someone picks up and I hear "FMU, you're on the air." It's enough to cause full-scale panic.
