Silly Question from a Newbie...

[Eric Fishlegs]

I know you guys will probably laugh at me for asking this question, but it's bothered   me since Tom mentioned it on one of the first shows I listened to- Is Tom really married to Jillian Barberi?

My gut says "no" but then again I also would have never believed that Tom was really an executive producer for MONK and that the guy who calls in playing all those characters is really a highly respected indie rock drummer.

These mysteries are best figured out on one's own.

Yeah, I like that his personal life is still basically a mystery after ten years on the air.

[yesno]

Well, it's spelled Barberie, if that answers your question.

Agreed. The Journey is the best part.

What is truth, really?

I bet new call screener Steve knows.

I don't know, man.

I'd check Wikipedia.

Tom was never involved with any television program. He works at a cardboard factory.

There are no "characters" on the Best Show, with the exception of the guy who portrays "Paul F. Tompkins".

I'm pretty sure it's Thompkins.

His name is Gary Young. SHOW SOME RESPECT!

I don't think Journey was better than Rush.  No way, man.

Tom's brother used to work at Fox Sports, and that's how Tom met her. Also, he's good friends with Saul Tompkins.

Little known fact: WFMU is actually owned by John Hodgman.
