Favorite Tom vs. caller moments

[daveM]

i 2nd kickthebobo's mention; i rediscovered that moment at the beginning of an old tape from when i had recorded some of the show, and it is 2-3 hillarious minutes.  Tom reels him in, starts asking him about his tastes in music, then GOMP, "thought i was your friend...i'm your foe."

could be wrong, but i always thought that might've been Mac (Yuu-wiggie-malmstein rock history kid), who i've speculated is the kid responsible for some recent heinous crimes against the Best Show that were related to Petey.

I can't think of any specific examples but I love whenever Tom catches a caller taking a passive-aggressive stab at someone and then cowardly trying to like 'backpedal" on it, like it never happened. And he calls them on it, making them stand up to it: "You took a shot at the guy...own it." And there's this great moment where they kind of recoil in shame. Sometimes he's just teasing, I know, but it's hilarious and refreshing to hear. There's this horrible kid I know that ALWAYS conceals and obscures these nasty little insults who i'd love to hear Tom expose as the coward he is.

And yes I agree with DanSF, anytime Wurster joins Tom versus a clueless caller, I am automatically hysterical....Jimmy Crespo and the CNN crawls bits had me convulsing. I'd love to hear more of those.
