He doesn't know anything except for quantum physics and Pynchon. So what? Why suspect anything?

I have no way of proving this, but I am highly skilled at recognizing voices.  It may be a genetic thing.  I don't really know where it comes from.  But...

[spoiler!] Pudge is most definitely Wurster. [/spoiler!]

Honestly I don't see how anyone could think otherwise.

The Sirius radio thing was real, I read about it in Radio Variety when it happened. I was horrified when I found that it wasn't a gag.

Seriously? Ha ha, get it, because it's Sirius radio. Oh, I kill me.

No, but seriously, seriously?

(this is probably only funny to me, who heard it)

A guy who runs a ticket tout website was interviewed on the radio today and I was thinking to myself that it was like a S&W setup. They asked him to justify charging €180 for €45 Arcade Fire tickets and he said "This is the future in ticket selling" in the most Wursterlike chancer fashion I've ever heard. I laughed, and laughed.

Do a search for "Radio Variety" around that date, there is a huge article on it.

I haven't found this. If anyone does, I'm madly curious. I wouldn't doubt that Tom has considered changing bases, but I cannot fathom the 2005 Sirius fallout, as it was presented on the Best Show, not being a joke. He broke out the Magnolia soundtrack, for god's sake. It's still one of my favorite episodes.

I was afraid to even listen to it, for fear that it could be real. And I would be forced to subscribe to Sirius for the one radio show I listen to. I'll gladly buy the 'best of' CD's and donate at fundraisers if it means keeping the Best Show free of a recurring charge.

But things like this! :

"Another weird wrinkle is that it looks like Sirius radio owns pretty much every existing element of The Best Show On WFMU, including all performances and callers. So if you have been a regular caller, it looks like until this thing blows over and my lawyers get into it, your audio likenesses are owned by Sirius. I'm not trying to say that you can't use your voice to order food at a drive thru. I'm just saying that you might want to talk to a lawyer before calling into Sean Hannity for the forseeable future."
