I haven't heard the show yet but I've heard Tom was not pleased.

Your friend is a dickhead and the equivalent of a heckler. You have a sucky friend. That's about it.

I'm not defending the guy. Like I said I haven't even heard it yet. I'm thinking about revenge.

He didn't say "friend", Ortater.

I think we should make suggestions.

Vegetarian marshmallows may be nice.

Oh, I didn't mean to sound harsh to you, just the guy. Even if you were friends with him, that's fine. There's another guy who calls in, Ramsey, who's friends with one of the more insane haters of the show and Tom really likes him.

OK - I'm going to listen and check back tomorrow.  I guess the best thing to do is drop
it.  Apologies from SC Tom.  You have real fans down here.

This is the Best Show, not Anonymous.

I'd like to think a little dissent, even poorly laid out dissent, is tolerable.

Tom's a big boy, he can handle it himself.

Not liking something is fine, even hating something. But to stop a show in its tracks (a radio show or a comedy show) to say it sucked is pretty shitty.

Didn't Tom drive down after the show and handle this himself?  I don't think we need to be concerned about it.

Exactly right. RyanInSC - was there a "Local Man Pummeled" headline in today's paper, by any chance?

Comedians deal with hecklers all the time. If Tom can't handle it he can always pull the GOMP card.

I thought Tom handled it well and it made for some really awkward tension.

Tom is a wee bit sensitive to criticism if you guys hadn't noticed

I didn't think Redneck guy was that bad, he said he aint like the show but did it in an easy going way. Consequently Kid Jerz got a chance to be "in the flesh" win/win.

RyanInSc, if you want to exact sweet revenge on this candidate for factory wrapped, make sure he  never ever gets a best show t-shirt - ever - no matter what.

I just hope the guy's insurance covers having your block re-attached after it gets knocked off.

I wish Tom wouldn't always resort to the "i will beat you up" card it's radio and the guy lives in SC nobody's going to beat anybody up.  Comedians that are great with hecklers never resort to that.

Tom threatening listeners is one of the many things I look forward to every week.

I am pretty sure Tom realizes that nobody's going to beat anybody up.

The exception being Tom, who's great with hecklers, and knocks the block off of all comers. Gary's block's somewhere in North Carolina right now.

threatening to beat a woman in her face with her own baby
is a classic I try to work into my day-to-day life

When Tom beats people up, he doesn't even use his fists. He makes them a cup of chamomile tea and convinces them to knock their own blocks off.

Isn't that Chuck Norris?  I saw a teenage kid wearing a "The Moods of Chuck Norris" T-Shirt and had to wonder if he had ever seen a Chuck Norris movie.
