What's great about that show is you have to listen to the 20 mins leading up to that. Nobody does exasperation like Tom.

Also on 3/30/04. Tom sings "I am a Rock", "Scarborough Fair/Canticle", and little bit of "All by Myself" by Eric Carmen to Bronwyn as he's announcing his defection from New Power Tuesday

pretty sure it's on a podcast from when tom was out with kidney stone problems.

I sometimes have the podcasts set onto my alarm-clock and I woke up to that one day... i was completely floored.

Yeah, it's great. The leadup is not to be missed either. That episode was available in podcast form on 3/29/07. I have the MP3 if you like, if that's allowed.
