Title: Philly Boy Roy in the studio...
Post by: HaroldBlvd on April 23, 2008, 01:42:15 AM
It was wild hearing PBR live in the studio. It was funny to listen to buy a bit weird hearing him live like that. Have any other Wurster characters ever appeared live in the studio? Or Jon Wurster as himself?

PBR was live in studio on 6/5/07. The Gorch showed up that night, too. PBR was also live in studio during one of the marathons, but I don't know the date.

PBR showed a suspicious amount of knowledge about local rock dives and indie rock towards the end.

And Powell's.

I loved that. After two hours, the task of sustaining PBR's depressingly-limited rock awareness (BOC, Yes...etc.) became overwhelming.

He learned a lot during his brief tenure at Wawa Records -- give a guy credit for doing his homework.

I bet he learned a lot about all those rock dives from his good friend Kevin Allin.

i was the caller from portland and i almost asked PBR if he'd ever been to doug fir.

He certainly seemed to know a lot about defunct Columbus rock venues and bands.
Title: Re: Philly Boy Roy in the studio...
Post by: joanna on April 23, 2008, 01:33:49 PM
maybe he toured with the letter sorters when he was considering picking up ben gibbard to do an album on wawa.

Being a noober, I'm kinda still back in late 2001 in the archives...

The Hooters, sure, but I can't believe Roy is still bringing up 'He Hate Me!'

I was already worried enough that I'd call up and mention "the Nostradamus guy you had on a couple weeks ago."

I don't think it was a coincidence that I just had a dream about having a crazy adventure with my grandparents (mom's folks), who both died in the '90s.

PFT's regression was eerie.

For a moment there, PFT sounded so much like PBR, I couldn't tell them apart.

PBPFT was one of the damnedest things I've ever heard on the show, no kidding.

Yeah, that was absolutely priceless.  And I love that there was a history between the two that reached back to childhood.

Nothing cracks me up like Philly Boy Roy's "R6 Joke," and Paul F. Tompkins pretending it was the funniest thing he's ever heard ... Simply because of its Philly-centric details.

That was awesome.  And I loved the XFL jokes, too.  I wish the XFL was still around, if only because it yielded so many laffs.  Anyone remember George Plimpton's Paper Maniax (http://modernhumorist.com/mh/0102/plimpton/)?

The discussion of He Hate Me tickled my Rod Smart obsession areas. My brain practically implodeded.

Yes!  It's a good thing the XFL folded, because no one could ever top "He Hate Me" for stupidest alias. Hearing the name after all these years made me laugh very hard.

HOF show!

He Hate Me on his moniker:  "That's a part of me, so I never get tired of that. It's like my birth name, except it only came later than birth." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Smart)

"Who's Wurster."


My boss signed a birthday card with "Chris who?" last year and I wanted to make him my legal guardian.

Oh haha ok. I thought maybe you heard me on the show. Which would have been reallllly funny because I didn't call last week. (I'm practicing restraint.)

My favorite part - Philly Boy Roy on the Meatloaf commercial: "I like it."

Who's the Philly actress Roy made reference to alongside Frank Stallone? Donna Pescau (SP?)

(It's a weird thing I just want to find out.)

Thanks  :D

i just got around to listening to this on podcast and i have to say - this may be my favorite best show episode ever.

the best part was when they were naming the pictures of celebs on the wall at geno's and PFT slid in a very quiet reference to larry ferrari (pronounced the same as larry - not like the sports car.) for all youse philadummies, he was this fella who had a half hour local access show on sunday mornings here for over 40 years. the entire program consisted of him just sitting there playing the hammond organ under soft lighting and a vaseline smeared lens with this giant smile plastered on his mug. i just about lost it when i heard that, and the fact that tom sort of brushed over this great reference made it all the more funny.

the hoagie PBR's mom made him with 'nem peanut chews in it was pretty priceless too. god do i love this show..

PBR + PFT in studio : I laffed and laffed. A triumph.

Also classy: PFT saying he was passing thru Newbridge and thought he'd stop in.

i definitely think it's one of the very best shows i've heard.

PFT slipping back into his philly accent alone made it pure gold.

I loved PBR's cold, Spike-esque greeting of PFT:

"Helloooooo, Paul."
