Title: Tom's Meltdowns
Post by: Sploops on January 31, 2007, 07:59:43 AM

There comes a time every now and then that Tom reaches his tether and unleashes the fucking fury.  Here are two such occasions, both initiated by Cpt. Jack. 

One:

Two: the ultimate Captain Jack call:

I can't think of any others right now.  Maybe you can.

Yes that really is the ultimate Capt Jack call. But i still like the ones where Tom would play sound effct behinf him as Jack would prattle on.

"Yes, I am an almighty figure, and just like God obviously hates me, if I'm your God, I HATE YOU!  GET OFF MY PHONE!!" (whimpers)

Fucking brilliant!

I'm also a huge fan of the 2002(?) Captain Jack Christmas meltdown, re-introduced to the public as a special holiday podcast last month.

It wasn't one of the big ones, but I enjoyed the meltdown that happened recently when No Smokin' Joe paid his respects during the last five minutes of a particularly grueling Open-Phone Tuesday.

From the 3/31/04 show. It's in the last fifteen minutes. Listener Ted calls while Captain Jack is on the phone, merely trying to find the latest news on the Barnacle Blues Band, and Captain Jack keeps talking over him. Tom tries to help Ted out, to no avail.

STOP IT!  STTTTTTTTTOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPP IT! PLEASE! WILL YOU STOP READING WHATEVER YOU WROTE AHEAD OF TIME!
