Finally get around to listening to this. Great.

Does anyone else love all of the off-mic laughter/background noise/et al as much as I do? (Also what is that barely audible echo-y thing I hear that is like coiled springs being shaken/rattled? The controls on the soundboard? Moving/adjusting the mic(s)? Whatever it is: I like it.)

I've heard Thurston Moore twang the mic springs on the radio, before. Maybe, Tom did too, then recorded it and now uses it as bed music.

Thoroughly enjoyed Mike's story. Seems like a lot of the callers this week weren't on board with the format as last week, not as many good calls as then.

Mike's Massa's story was perfect. Oh, to be a fly on the wall that day...

Long live HHOP.

Loved this week's episode. The lack of sympathy for rambling callers = A+

The Pillar (the CSN guy) saying "I'm going to be quick..." more than once then taking the scenic route to his boring story that had nothing to do with the topic from the Best Show proper (embarassing moments): "He was this show's 'pillar'". 

Then the H-Man not getting the concept of Half-Hour of Power: "I'm just calling in to say hello and figgered this was the best time to...", "Uh, no this is the worst time. Goodbye.[gomp]"

I'm pro whatever the smokestack caller is against and vice versa.

Oh my fave Casino scenes are when De Niro calls Joe Bob Briggs a dummy. That and yelling at the casino chef about blueberries per muffin ratio.

It's kinda hard and stressful...being quick and to the point, yet giving Tom enough breathing room to be the "master painter" and all. I know I didn't do such a great job. it was kind of hard to hear Tom too, but that might have just been my cell phone.

I really love the HHOP and I hope it's a fixture. I especially like how Tom doesn't allow Best Show topics. It's its own thing.
