wanna read more about the PFT thing and ruin your christmas high? here you go!
http://www.c-town.us/chinatown/index.php?topic=1574.0

i haven't read through it yet, so maybe it doesn't ruin your christmas high. but it apparently was enough for tom to join that board. don't know what he did with that.

That board is to the FOT board what the RDB is to this board. I don't get it, and it's creepy. Also, that thread doesn't say anything informative. It's mostly stuff copied from that AST thread that I linked to here a few weeks ago, which has since been deleted.

Tom's status update on Facebook:

<<A friendly tip:

If you're going to kick someone out of your life by blocking/removing/unfriending them on every form of social media, do them one small solid by also removing them from YOUR FUCKING MAILING LIST. Odds are they're not going to your shows at this point. Happy New Year!>>

I just looked through Tom's recent tweets.  I didn't know the second message board he had referred to on the air was known as the Chinatown board.  It made these tweets very confusing before I figured that out (I was reading the most recent tweets first):

<<I contemplated kicking some Chinatown people off the FOT board but I wont bother. Maybe I don't have a nasty streak a mile wide after all.>>

<<I know! 99% of the people who listen never go near my board. 99.9% of THEM don't go to Chinatown. http://www.c-town.us>>

I saw this earlier. So that would sort of confirm that PFT was the person to drop Tom.

On one hand, I'm absolutely dying to know what happened, because I love both of them so much. On the other, it feels sort of wrong.

tom's on a bit of a chat today. hmmm, wonder if there's anything juicy in there? the description doesn't let on anything. i'm sure there probably isn't, but a guy can hope, right? regardless, i probably won't get around to listening to it til next week anyway.

Hmm, should be cool. I love the Scharpling episodes of A Bit of a Chat.

Looking at the available episodes, I should download more than just the Scharpling episodes.

yeah, i hit a few. not all of them. it seems like he won't post any for a while and then there'll be a flurry of them. the one with paul feig was really good. eugene mirman was good, but i don't think i finished it yet.

not much on the pft situation in the bit of a chat. i thought ken was beating around the bush a few times, but tom didn't take the bait. it was an ok episode. some talk about best show stuff with the caller ban, etc. some low times talk. then some talk about interviewing. and of course lots of pop culture/movie stuff.

Has anyone seen photos of Larry Da Perv from the Holiday Party Show?  I've found pictures on Twitter from some of the attendees, but none identify Larry.  Some do have random guys standing in the background who I don't recognize, though.  Anyone know?  I saw (Auntie) Christina on the FOT board mention there was a policy with Larry similar to the press with FDR where they didn't show evidence of his polio.

I finally listened to the "Tom Reads Best Show Fan Fiction" which was the premium from two years ago.  The one Omar the Scrivener wrote was pretty good, so good it made Tom laugh.  The others were okay.

My guess is that LDP is Daniel Ralston.

Have the fill-in weeks with Hatch gotten any better?  I listened to the first half hour of the first time he filled in with Maggie and others, and turned it off.  And I'm someone who will listen to all of the Depravity's Rainbow episodes because I think Mike is pretty funny.

I don't bother listening to them. No Tom, no interest. I have plenty of other podcasts to catch up on in Tom's off weeks.

the last one they had mike call in. he was supposed to be in the studio but then had some funny story moving furniture happen to him. like getting a couch stuck in a hallway and hacking it apart with kitchen knives. then he stayed on the line and took some calls. i think the group hostings are probably the best of the fill-ins. i would rank it: group, depravity, hatch and wally. but none of them are all that good. i feel like a lot of times they're just sitting around like, "guys, aren't we so cool?" they ape a lot of tom's things, too, like hanging up on people, or how do you like them apples or whatever. also, i'd rank depravity's rainbow above the group, but sometimes therese just bugs the fuck out of me. she's always really playing up how "crazy" mike is and it's so dumb. oh, and also on the last group one, they were making fun of mit hamine and that was pretty funny. then the dude called in and they asked what instrument he played, and he said ipod. that was unbelievably funny.

Group hostings = the ones with Hatch, but not Wally, right?

correct, i think it's usually hatch, maggie serota, and daniel ralston. also really annoying is hearing maggie serota say "wif" instead of "with." i noticed this a couple weeks ago on low times, and i'm pretty sure she says "with" more than any other person that has ever lived. i can't stop fixating on it.

Wow so many amazing bands appeared on here. Wish I could have authority to get a cd copy of every show  that caught my fancy... Maybe I'll pull some strings.

People aren't really stupid. They are just culturally inferior.
When they see a product they step up to plate with their wallets out.
Some people are comedians & some need to keep their dayjob. 
Buy me a cookie, I might care.
People on boards like this one are certifiable gutless turds.
