The Best/Worst Moments of last night's show

[Boogdish]

I lived in College Station as a child and most of my family went to A&M, so I also got a kick out of that whole call.

That caning kid's giving people hope.

A+

"Skeeving"

[YuriDedman]

John McCain, on the floor of the senate, handing it off to his friend, AP Mike, who sounds exactly the same.

"and you do what they told'ja"... the whole MC5/RATM thing had me in laughing pain.

Worst moment was Zach-mond still being a jerk, which wasn't that bad, because it was totally unsurprising.

Also, it's great to hear Tom sound happier than I've heard him in a while, even in the face of adversity and reflecting on not-so-great real-life stuff.  I noticed this in November, and Tom's become more radiant than ever.

[Jason from Huntsville, AL]

BAH-DUM! BUMBUMBUM! BUM-BAD-DUH! I hope Tom's RATM fascination lasts a couple of weeks.

Also good: No concert reports & no "so-and-so is a nice guy" reports. Mike screened like a champ.

2012 starts off with a big W.

[Flood]

The invocation was great. I just hope that it was FCC compliant.

[Chrissy in MN]

Dolly Parton and Aleister Crowley: together at last.

I heard the final 30 minutes last night in the car and am catching the rest now. This might be the fastest moving show ever.

I loved the 9-year-old D&D kid so much.

I also learned that I have actually heard an ELP song.

Here's a link to the movie Tom talked about. It sounds AWESOME and very much like Outrage, which is one of my favorite movies in the teen violence genre. http://www.vice.com/read/over-the-edge-134-v16n9

Also, I realized I have heard an ELP song with Carnival. I only know it since it was the promo music a looong time ago for CBS' March Madness previews. They used "We Got The Beat" once which shockingly worked well and was AWESOME. I kind of think that might be a great song.

If I called in last night, I would have suggested Joy Division's "No Love Lost." I was always trying to come up with a theme song for the comedy show I hosted for a while and that was going to be it but I never actually used it. But that song RULES.

Tom's rant about message board stuff and having a creative outlet is really honest and spot-on.

See I was thinking Dead Souls by Joy Division. It's upbeat and it has the line "They keep calling me".

[JonFromMaplewood]

I agree, except that I wouldn't call it a "rant." What made it so great in my opinion was the fact that it was totally level-headed.

[Crusherkc]

Best moment: Tom's "I've had enough of you" to antihistamine.  It had the perfect tone of contempt and resignation.  I hope that means a life ban to along with his banishment from the boards.  Given the chance to start afresh, to "cool out", he again comes on with his narcissistic self-promotion for whatever that video he's (been) pushing as part of the Enthusiasm rewards project no less- the gall!  The disregard to the quality of the show, I tells ya!  He adds nothing but his annoyance to the show.  As Trump would say..."He's a disaster."

Worst moment: Spike on the phone and NOT in the studio.  Let's make that happen in '12.

[Chris L]

I counted at least 4 callers trying to sing along with/over Tom last night.

[Paul DeLouisiana]

Vance responding to hearing Tom say "advance."

And the RATM stuff. Everytime Tom went "witcha-witcha."
