Assorted Nostalgia

[JesseFromVegas]

There's threads dedicated to favorite Wursterisms, favorite shows, etc., but how about just stray lines that don't really fit into any neat categories as such?  This, then, is the place for those.

I was inspired to start this thread when a friend on Facebook made a joke about the Xbox One that reminded me of Tom as Larry D. Perv talking about Videodrome and how much I loved "Long live the new flesh, dere."

Joey Levels!

Tyrone from South Carolina, the shaving advice guy. Maybe my favorite one-off caller in the history of the show.

My favorite one off caller has to be Terry from Woodstock who was dating the daughter of Jon Green, the guy who threw the beer at Ron Artest.

"Quite a lot of blood - I gotta admit!" - The H-Man, to Spike about Sweeney Todd.

[JON IN PHL]

Tom's defense of William Zantzinger, the villain from the song Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll, was always a personal favorite.

I listened to May 21 2002 a few days ago, a particularly strong episode: Daily Show Correspondent Matt Walsh Calls In To Promote His Television Special But Is Interrupted By A Pair Of Fans And Is Chastised By SNL's Horatio Sanz. Plus, The Return Of Mike Healy, And 'Smash Or Trash' With The Band 'Management'.

The matt walsh call is one of the best on the show (as his calls often were).

[Kevin from Pittsburgh]

Chris L from Maryland's impression of Elvis Costello bringing Herbie Hancock on to his talkshow

Tom telling Petey to put some energy in to the call, then GOMPing him when he screams 'Yeah!!'

Trucknutz (sorry)

"...and then the screen fades to green and that's the end of it."

From Feb 20, 2007 Bill Of Rights For Life, What Is The Meanest Thing Anyone Ever Said To You, Spike, Other Hilarity. Tom Just Talks And Talks And Talks!, Young August calls in with his Bill of Rights stating that road kill should be picked up immediately to which Tom agrees and relates information on how AP Mike likes to eat squirrels; specifically, AP Mike likes to eat their heads on sandwiches spread with ("and this is the weirdest part") pesto.

Perhaps Gary had a genuine gripe against Mike?

[Kormodd]

A lot of people like to eat squirrels on sandwiches spread with pesto. I don't think that could be the reason for the animosity. It has to be something else.

[Crusherkc]

Gary, in the voice of Michael Caine from "Get Carter": "You're the AP Mike 'oo ate mah brothah ('s 'ead off and spread it with pesto)"

[bachwards]

Sonny from Jersey City complaining about Al Pacino's goatee and wanting to send Chazz Palminteri to space.  He had the energy of a caller who was definitely gonna curse, without actually cursing!

Matt in Virginia suggesting Al Jolson was the father of rock music.

Mike from Brooklyn driving 120 through rural Indiana and his sister faking a conniption to unsuccessfully avoid a ticket.

Tom thinking Chris in Astoria's name was Christmas Tree.

The call and subsequent debate inspired by the beer in the shower guy.
