What we Know about the first two Shows
« on: August 11, 2007, 02:52:05 PM »
This is stuff gleaned from shows in the archive. I forget some details, I thought a thread would be a neat, FUN idea:

These shows aired on October 10th & 17th (Source: Bronwyn's archives)

October 10th 2000:

  • Todd Phillips (Billips?) called in to discuss the possibility of Tom coming to teach his calligraphy course (Source: November 28, 2000 Show, Todd's call)
  • Tom had a caller named Jack pretend to be a french guy named Jacque so Tom could ban French music on his show. (Source: April 24, 2001 Show, Jack Calls)

October 17th 2000:

  • Tom made an on air plea to get a Yankees Fan and a Mets fan to come to the studio to fight

Unable to pinpoint date:

  • Hot Rockin' Ronny called to taunt tom with the gift of a palm pilot with a few years of internet and a registered email address along the lines of dumbass@palm.com (Source: January 16, 2001 - HRR's second phone call)
  • Tom had lined up an interview with Dick Van Dyke, who stood Tom up. (Source: 2001 Marathon Show)
  • These shows may not have been taped by Tom (Source: That same 2001 Marathon Show)

    So French proto-metal gets an exemption?

    We call that freedom-metal in the US.

      Is it sad that I had the same thought?

      The best show needs an official historian/ archivist.

      Did we ever find out if these first two shows were actually taped?
