Is this the best April Fool joke, or what the?

i liked hearing james get james'd.  tom blew up a bit sometime around the james'ing.

Not to mention the big cliffhanger ending after Mike was asked to flip a mysterious switch on the wall.

Yeah, I hope we get some resolution on this next week.  I'm thinking the switch created a localized black hole that swallowed Mike whole.

I missed both JW calls, and most of what Wes talked about... I hope it's archive/podcasted.

And Wes, your list of highlights left out the part where I called David Schwimmer "workmanlike".

I've always been anti-April Fool's Day. Sure I like a good prank from time to time (I actually don't), but the day ends up being justification for the Mel Gibsons of the world to act like jerks.  Is there anything worse than the smug satisfaction these once-a-year pranksters get when someone actually falls for some overcooked lie? It's the worst. Leave it to the professionals.

I'd be okay if the day was a celebration of comedy, but I've yet to experience an April 1st that wasn't a total gauntlet of lame. For every funny prank you have to suffer through a dozen awful ones. I just spend the day on edge, avoiding human contact while I wait for it to pass.

I don't see why Tom would feel obliged to keep the pretense going. Once it's past drive-time hours, the joke's already run its course. I'll give him this; when the man commits to a cause, he doesn't flake. 

I do love the irony of the tables turning on James on the one day of year tailor made for his shenannigans.

  Stealing my Best Show fix isn't a "prank", it's a crime.  And lame.  The fact that the archive is bunk is even worse, (I couldn't listen last night, i was at work).  Hopefully the real show ends up as the podcast.

Between everyones individual delay on the chat and the lag on the show, it was pretty disorienting show. But that's what you get for not listening to the show as it's intended... sitting down, staring at the radio, with your head tilted forward (slightly).

As soon as they start broadcasting a signal to Knoxville, I will start listening "as intended".

REGIONIST!

I am also sad that the dumbest day of the year stole my favorite show on the radio. However, it would be kind of neat if the show wasn't podcast or archived but still recapped and then podcasted after the recap.

I always listen that way, but staring at the computer. And breathing through my mouth.

[orangewhip]

no matter what you listen to it on, it needs to be done all alone in your room, drinking a beer.

I had a pretty good April Fools day prank -- when my sister opened her door, a brick fell on her head.

[orangewhip]

i keep checking back here to see if someone uploaded a ripped stream.

[herbie]

so nobody heard my first call? aw man. was hoping to hear it again in the podcast too.
anyway, i had a good time talking to tom about the art musean and WIRE (the BAND not the TV SHOW).

[samir]

oh, i just remembered... didn't somebody call in and say "calamari is a fruit"?

[herbie]

He's the captain, son!  He's got a big "C" over his heart, like a purple-shirted GG Varitek.

i'm more of a fan of his brother Merle Varitek
