creepiest calls?
« on: January 15, 2009, 06:00:37 AM »
 What are some of the most creepy and disturbing calls you can remember?

 One for me was when Tom was, I think, doing that lighthouse confessions segment. This one guy called up and kept going on about how he stole 20 bucks from his friend when they were younger. I don't know why, maybe just his general vibe, but that was the creepiest call ever.

 Then another was when a guy called up (he sounded like a regular caller) and mentioned how he sold all his Apple stock a while back on the advice of someone, and he could've been a millionaire if he didn't take that advice. Tom basically says "tough luck, it happens", and the guy very quickly gets angry and tells Tom that he wishes he was the guy who mugged him in a parking garage.


edit: I forgot: spike calls don't count

Do Fredricks of New Port Richey's calls count?

Lighthouse confessions also produced that interminable call about the guy's girlfriend and the teacher.  I'm still waiting for closure on that anecdote.

I think the guy proudly running the "dead pool" at his office was pretty creepy and horrible.

Pretty much any call from Tommert was creepy. His need to express his love for Tom. And his songs.

Yes. The guy needs to go back in his cave.

i would agree that the caller who confessed stealing money from his pal TWENTY years ago was off his rocker from the start.  the apple guy creeped me out also- and he sounds EXACTLY like frank from weehawken (Tom mistook him for the apple guy once as well). 

more recently, the woman who was turned on by Tom's voice.  blegh.

I didn't think she was creepy, but then I'm a guy.  Of course, she didn't sound sincere either.  She could probably use a few pointers on delivery from Maya from Brooklyn.

I managed to miss this, despite being certain that I listened to that show. Can anyone tell me which episode/approximate time this call was?

Martin is at least partially correct.

The Kid's reaction to that caller was pretty great, though.

Also, I'm still amazed that shower beer is an actual thing. I mean, it's not just that one guy who does it. Other dudes enjoy a cold one in the hot shower and also reading Maxim Magazine, I guess. I don't know.

Best advice/worst advice was topic, i believe, and this guy's best advice was to wash his towels.  I think.
