Please Do Not Prank SHUT UP WEIRDO.

[Tom Scharpling]

Hey everybody -

Even though The Best Show was snubbed by the hosts of Shut Up Weirdo, I am asking you not to call them and prank their show. That doesn't get anybody anywhere.

If you feel strongly about the snub, write them a polite email, asking them why they didn't call in, even after being asked for two straight weeks. Tell them that they need to show respect to The Best Show On WFMU and keep their rookie status in mind before they talk about how they are 'WFMU's civilized call-in show'. Remind them that they need to know where they stand in the order of things. Remind them that they need to pay respect to The Kid.

You can email Andy Cohen and Frangry at the WFMU contact site, over here:

Then feel free to post here. If you want to get your frustrations out, do it in this thread.

Thank you. We are fine young men and ladies, and we do not disrupt other shows to make our points!

Tom.

Though it'll take a great deal of restraint not to pull one on them I'll adhere.

However, I will be calling to at least inquire where they got the audacity to criticize other shows.

The way they were panning 7SD on their FIRST show was unfathomable.

7SD is a thousand times more entertaining on it's biggest train wrecks than hearing two benign people yap about nothing.

I never do anything I claim I am going to do. It's a life strategy.

I'd love to call to discuss Mathematics to find out whether or not they are actually civilized. I don't think it's a prank if I'm serious.

can we start FedExing them rings to kiss?

I just want everyone to know that you can prank The Acousmatic Theater Hour instead.  We won't put your call on the air, and to be totally honest we don't even know how to answer the phone yet, but if it will make you feel better, go for it.

This sounds like a great opportunity for me because I don't know how to make prank phone calls. Thank you so much, Jason Grote!

Excellent. I'll start combing through my Beckett on Film DVDs and putting together a soundboard.

I believe "Shut Up Fool" was a line of dialogue in Endgame.

Remember when Vladimir told Estragon, "Shut up, weirdo!"? Good times.

ACT I
A country road. A tree.
Evening.

JAMES, sitting on a low mound, is trying to take off his toupee. He pulls at it with both hands, panting. He gives up, exhausted, rests, tries again. As before. Enter VLADIMIR.

JAMES: [giving up again] Nothing to be done.
VLADIMIR: There's man all over for you, blaming on his toupee the faults of his head. [He takes off his hat again, peers inside it, feels about inside it, knocks on the crown, blows into it, puts it on again.] This is getting alarming. One of the thieves was saved. It's a reasonable percentage. [Pause.] James?
JAMES: What?
VLADIMIR: Suppose we repented.
JAMES: Repented what? [A flash of shabby mischief in his eyes. Runs at Vladimir, dances, giggles, waves his hands in the air.] JAMES JAMES JAMES JAMES!! [Exits.]
[Vladimir sighs, sits on the mound.]
VLADIMIR: That, for a start. [Pause.] Nothing to be done.
