Yeah, Hut Pod is the Jeff Cooper call I mentioned. I was going to re-listen to it tonight, but my failures with the transcription software have sapped my will to laugh.

My favorite variation is "Los Hut."

Yes. But in a tie w/"hut dog."

Okay, I re-listened to the Jeff Cooper (son of Craig) call.

There's no "the hut" reference. This is good, though, because the call is from 2/21/2006 -- which would be rather late in the show's run to have the first-ever Wurster ref to "the hut."

I did make a list of some of Jon's other Wursterisms in the call:

"Are you strapped in? You have your helmet on?" (Is this one of the earliest uses of the "strapped/helmet" couplet?)

"A real A-load." I'm not sure this one's all that common. I can't recall it being used in other bits.

"Deep ess-hit." A classic.

And, most interestingly, perhaps...

"Madder than a rattlesnake at a Thai Wedding" When Jon says this, Tom laughs and asks, "What does *that* mean?"

Could our search for the first instance of "The Hut" have unexpectedly led us to the first instance of "Madder than a rattlesnake at a Thai Wedding"?

Indeed.  It definitely debuted in 2006, and I am almost certain it did not appear prior to the Jeff Cooper call.

Oh, wow, neat. Finally, I got one right!

I'm certain we'll get to the bottom of "the hut" in the next couple days. I'm going to re-listen to the Gem where Ronny calls in from the political convention-slash-prison. That's an 04 call, so if hut's used in that, it'll certainly narrow things down.

On Chain Fights, Beer Busts and Service with a Grin, the last track with Mike Healy from July 17, 2001 around 5:45 in he says "I'll call your station manager and get the station shut down."  Tom: "Oh that's the spirit!"  "Yeah, enjoy it in the butt hut."
Maybe that's it?

Oh, wow! That's great. I think you just found it.

I just finished listening to the Hot Rockin' Ronny call from 7/27/04. And there is a "the hut" reference in it.

Jon: So, I had to go to the Hut.
Tom: *What* is the hut?
Jon: Well, *you* know.
Tom: Oh , okay, yeah, yeah.
Jon: You know, *that* hut. You’re no stranger to the hut.
Tom: Actually, yeah, I am a stranger to *jail*.

Other Wursterisms in this call...

"You don't call me that! I call you *that*!"

"I had to take a squeege in the woods."

"I was stealing cut-outs."

Yeah, this unemployment thing is really productive.  Solving hut mysteries and winning Low Times hash tag contests!

Thanks, all.

Take a squeege always gets me, too.

I'm also on board with all the different kinds of *fun* popping up lately.

I'm watching Stanley Kubrick's debut film Killer's Kiss, and a characters says "I ain't goin' back to the hut, see". Made me chuckle.

I apologize in advance for being a topic necromancer but I wanted to share what I found. On the 1/16/2001 show, Hot Rockin' Ronny references the "Butt Hut" (it's within the last 10 minutes of the show). It would be interesting to find out when that got shortened to "The Hut".

Is it possible Pizza Hut was the inspiration for "The Hut" reference?  You have to admit that making pizza in a hut was a bold marketing move on their part -- food quality or everything else of quality aside.

I had completely forgot that The Hut and The Hut, Jr. got mentioned during Mark "The Arm" Rample's call. The Hut lives on the new Best Show!

Moving back to Atlanta in a few months.  When I went to Athens, back in the day, this wasn't there... so I guess I'm actually wondering... was the food edible?  Is the place to be avoided at all costs?

And am I really asking this about a place that offers a Possum Salad and a Little Buttwich Basket?
