How amazing would it be for him to just drop back in all of a sudden?
-
You mean the guy who liked to sing "Carry on My Wayward Son"? I heard that on old archive ... really old, I think ... 2001 maybe?
-
His name is Kid Kansas. Show him some respect.
-
I've just gotten to the point in the archives where he makes his debut (late 2002), and I have to say I do not miss him. It gets really old really fast. But it did inspire some genius countermeasures by Tom, like "dueting" with Aimee Mann and The Party Zone.
-
I really, really like the old time callers way more trippy. Now callers (non Wurster) are more straight ahead.

After all, he would show you respect!

Yeah, generally the callers are much more obsequious now that Tom's such a big shot. (I sure would be - one of the reasons I don't call!) There are fewer wild cards these days.

I loved that dude Dick, from last week ... and that weird woman calling from the Hudson Valley whenever that was, a few weeks ago?
There are still people that spin the dial and land on this show and go, "I don't like this, I'm going to call in and tell this guy what's what", and there are still those tool/knobs out there who decide they're going to try and take Tom down.

Was Hudson Valley lady the one that said "No, and I don't appreciate your sarcasm." ? Because she was hilarious, but not by choice.

Yep, clearly a woman who had never ever listened to Tom before in her life.

Quite clear. But I hope she continues to not listen, but still call.

i couldn't stand that guy! well, as a human being but the only thing keeping me from truly hating him was knowing that in the end Tom would get the last heave ho. my confidence in Tom really allows me enjoy the show and those kind of callers because the fact of the matter is, i'm slowing turning into my mother and getting passionately upset about people calling in and voicing their opinions on the radio from hundreds of miles away.
you know, the stuff worth getting worked up over.

His first call was on 12/17/02, (http://scratchbomb.com/best-show-log-2002.html#bs121702) when he called up several times during the second annual Billy Joel Tribute show. He started calling on a nigh-weekly basis in early 2003, including the first Party Zone show (1/21/03) and a few shows where he (and other crappy callers) drove Tom to sing along with Aimee Mann.

There are all these awesome steam tunnels under NC State University in Raleigh. We used to go over there and run around in them when I was in high school. There was just this one manhole cover in front of this one building, you lifted it up and down you went.
What stopped us was when we saw this plastic sheet that had "Danger! Asbestos" printed on it stretched across the hallway - and we were reading it from the wrong side.
