Nothing beats a little kid talking about "snorting kielbasa-thick lines of cocaine."

Mac's recitation of that line is one of the best things in the history of the universe.

As is his charming mispronunciation of Judas Priest's vocalist's surname.

I love when Tom messes with kids' heads. I wish more kids would call the show; in the early years, it seemed to happen quite often. Like when he challenged an entire posse of jr. high kids to a fight, or proposed a power tool fight between the Hasu Kid and the Anti-Hasu Kid

Worth listening to with headphones so that you can hear Tom cracking up in the background through the whole call.

The number of little kids that used to call is astounding--as well as the various deadbeat high-schoolers.  What attracted them to the show?  Have other radio shows ever had this kind of draw? What seems to have driven them away?

There's even a Christmas Eve show, 2002 I think, where a 2-year-old (!) called up. His inability to fully understand what Tom was saying was insane/hilarious.

New Best Show Gems out today: Tom vs. Billy Crystal

I love this one. That Billy Crystal/Comic Relief "jazzman" thing was truly horrible.

Yeah, it's bad ... I"m sure that the audience isn't miked very well, but I choose to think that the lack of laughter is because Billy Crystal's minstrel act is just appalling.

The Jimmy Crespo call is one of my favorite bits ever. Hearing Tom "silently" lose it off mic is so good.

"Too Much Cocaine."

"For YOU maybe!"

"What?!"

"Yeah, What?!"

Also, "mockingboids" ... that's like a bugs bunny imitation.
