Wow that's awesome!!!

[Jixby Phillips]

i was thinking the saaaaaaaaaaaame thing!

[AllisonLeGnome]

Awesome! The Recidivism recaps are great for in-depth descriptions, but it's nice to be able to quickly look for one specific thing.

[Tom Scharpling]

When they ask how Tom spent his Thanksgiving weekend, he can tell them that he filled in eighteen months of archive descriptions.

I am four shows away from being done. If anybody out there can give me the bullet points for those final four shows, I would be appreciative. My head is spinning and I hate the sound of my own voice right now.

Omar has proven himself to be a WORLD CLASS CHAMPION with his recaps. I have never has as much respect for the man as I do today. Reading through those recaps for the last week has been truly impressive.

Please post bullet points in here and I will close this thing out.

Thanks!

Tom.

Tom,

Here are the bullet points for the final description-less show, September 14 2004, if you want to fill it in.

• Calls from Laurie from Miami, Officer Tom and Petey
• Listener Chris serves as correspondent from, and eventually gets kicked out of, MOVIN' OUT, the Billy Joel musical
• Some talk of Little Steven's Underground Garage Festival (The Stooges inspire mania!  Bo Diddley rapped!)
• Tom somehow made the listeners think he has Green Day tickets to give away
• Rafer Guzmán, the rock critic from Newsday calls in, then gets GOMP'd
• Tom got screwed out of Jets tickets by his co-worker Jerry, and caller Trish tries to help them work it out
• Tom is going to Los Angeles for two weeks

Also one of my least favorite caller-moments.
