I thought that show was awesome. I really need to re-listen.
I have to defend Laurie. Her laugh is piercing but she is a good sport about it. Also, she's not a celebrity. She's just a longtime fan who has become part of the fabric of the show. I thought it was great to have her on. And...that call to her dad was awesome. There were so many good parts to it but I lost it when he said something like "have we been on the air this whole time?" That made it almost Newbridgian.
Other highlights:
-On the Laurie/Geneva show, Laurie called out "GOMP! Heave ho!" It was like she was playing a game and needed to remember to call out the "right" code word. That cracked me up.
-Any time Michael K of the Cynics calls. I know I am in the minority but I love how he gets under Tom's skin.
-Laurie or Geneva said something about Spike, then immediately apologized--Tom: "Don't worry, he only listens to his calls."
-Agree 100% with Cavorting on Mit Amine. Wow.
-I liked Big Z's call, too, which led to a great trifecta heave-ho (but I don't think Wally deserved it). The director telling Tom he maybe able to buy the documentary soon and Tom's reaction was awesome.
