weird-o-wood instead of hollyweird. and then tom tries to convince him that it's hollyweird by demonstrating how much more sense hollyweird makes than weirdowood. so awesome.

was this only twice, with the gorch and with PBR? or has it happened more?

There's a variation on the "Why" where he makes a ridiculous statement and follows it with a rapid "Why?" without even allowing Tom a chance to express his surprise.

Bishop Fontana (2008.04.15): "Everybody has to stand for the four hours. They basically worship me. WHY?"

PBR (2005.07.12) : "Ladies love to get their tops yanked off... I was wearing a mask and I ran off. WHY?"

Mark Michaels (2005.08.02): "Fire. WHY?"

personal all time fav...
Troy from Newbridge, June 2, 2007: "Don't Stand So Close to Me '86, WHY?"

PBR can't believe he doesn't like Santana, and he sings a bit of "Winning" from 1981's Zebop!. Tom says he doesn't like any era of the band, and PBR wants to know whyyyyyyyyyyyywheeeere Tom doesn't like them. Tom doesn't like the band on his stereo or on his television.

"you need to go back to school, son!"

also, where the hell did he come up with shellac-ing cheesesteaks?  that's so weird and funny.

"aw, you don't know what you're TALKIN' about!"

i also love whenever wurster calls him a clever name that is radio appropriate.  like "dunce", "jerk", "filth", "rube", etc.

I've started using "Weird-o-wood" in my every day speech out here.  Nobody even understands that I'm referring to Hollywood.  The conversation usually goes something like this:

"Man, I was down in Weird-o-wood today, and saw a guy dressed as Optimus Prime."
"You were where?"
"Just down in Weird-o-wood, by the Chinese Theatre."
"Is that in Orange County?"

It's like being in a space race with people who still believe that the night sky is a blanket that God puts in front of the sun.
