A Scharpling Classic - Smirnoff Ice (VIDEO) (feat. Jon Benjamin)

This call and Patton Oswalt's call when he was an aspiring DJ working out of his van would be an excellent double feature.

air date on the patton call?

I've scrolled through the archives twice now and I cannot find it again. I'm sure someone else more well versed in the show will provide an answer. It is a hysterical call that builds really nicely like this one. Plus, Patton's character keeps calling Tom "Tommy Gun" which just kills me.

The character's name was the Famous Flamer.

Everything mentioned here is fantastic. One of my absolute favorite Jon Benjamin calls is February 13, 2001: Tom interviews Ron Garver, author of "Upright Positions: Flying the Erotic Skies" and Tom Gets Hypnotized. Maybe a little lowbrow for some but I think it's so great!

Just listened to it. THANK YOU. That made me laugh so much....the blackbox recordings were absolutely hilarious.
