The Best/Worst Moments of last night's show

[mackro]

This was a classic show. No worst moment was left uncoupled with a great moment. A sampling of the Best moments:
- "Apologize, you goon!...."  "Tom, it's Hatch" ".....oh, hi Hatch"
- "LAZER WHIP, LAZER WHIP, LAZER WHIP,......... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah."
- SYL JOHNSON(!!)
- "You know, I might just hang up on Syl Johnson. Everyone will remember that." (!!!!)
- "@The_Real_Pete_Seeger just saw my son in concert. Still the same, Bob. "
- Greggulator
- Morris

[Chrissy in MN]

Vance discussing prog rock makes me very happy.

[Chris L]

I howled at the lazerwhip, and that yell was like something equally out of science fiction. Based on his reaction, I really want to believe that it took Tom completely by surprise as well.

[Paul DeLouisiana]

Along those lines...

Isn't it time that people stop calling with the sole intention of praising someone that Tom likes?

We all know that (Ted Leo, Julie Klausner, Paul F Tompkins, John Hodgman, Wild Flag, ect.) are geniuses at what they do, and nice people off stage.  If you go to one of their events and something interesting happens, then I say call. 

But if every Ted Leo fan called in and said how great Ted Leo is, would that be much of a show?

I am listening now and it is pretty evident that Tom feels the same way.

[Greggulator]

MORRIS! He brought it.

The Lazer Whip. This should be a ringtone.

Syl and Tom's desire to hang up on him.

Vance's dissertations on prog rock.

Awesome. AWESOME. AWESOME!

[Greggulator]

This might be my favorite episode since Four Loko. (And that's saying something!)

The show didn't start until the Greggulator's at-bat (excepting the music and coverage from the gala in Newbridge): "hello Tom, this is the Greggulator and I've come to save you from a barrage of horrible callers".  Every caller before that (granted, I'm too chickenshit to call) was a cumulative worst moment, Morris was the highlight with his hybrid LDP/Boston accent dere/deah.  It might be worth considering dropping all regulations about regular callers.  I miss Laurie, Fredericks, Julie...I even miss Spike.  Spike!

And a special thanks to the Greggulator for specifically calling out that stupid fucking boring band (BANNED) from Richmond whose name I refuse to repeat.

Yeah, I think it's pretty safe to say he didn't see that coming. I can't remember the last time I heard him lose it like that during one of the JW calls.

[Paul DeLouisiana]

Someone PLEASE morph the faces Channing Tatum, John Kruk and Anderson Cooper!

[Steve of Bloomington]

I enjoyed Tom trolling the guy w/ 'Bob Seger is Pete Seeger's son! I'm reading the Wikipedia page here!'

[bonnaventure]

After my five star flame out, I laughed pretty hard and the ensuing backlash, but had some unexpected guests that I hadn't seen in a while. They showed up JUST as Morris called in, dang.

I don't think I've ever had a good call, which I used to loathe and I wanted desperately to fix, but now I realize that it's kind of my calling to be gomp fodder.

[Steve of Bloomington]

C'mon bonnaventure, you've done fine. And even the best callers get the GOMP treatment.

[lezdudethis]

This is the best I can do. Might try again later. Feel like there isn't enough Kruk in there...

[Crusherkc]

Quite a handsome man that Lawrence D. Pervison.

[highwindows]

i just gotta add to the cacophony of voices saying it was a great show: MORRIS, lazer whips, vance, tom flipping through the best of bob seger, freaking syl johnson. a +, senors.
