No 4 Loko no dice.

I KNEW Dr. Morbius was Spike!

HOLY SHIT

are you guys kidding about Morbius being Spike? I actually asked him recently if he was AP Mike he said no

i'm Dr Morbius, u goddamn idiots

What's your take on Jennifer Lopez?

I heard that they're the same person but I also heard that we're goddamn idiots so I don't even know what to believe anymore

* makes up "humorous" nicknames for celebrities
* lives in NYC

*loves soap operas

GQ! It's strange to read this when you were packing t shirts with the guy in East Orange, NJ in 1998.

OK, so Dr. M is NOT Spike, then

* loves John Wesley Shipp
* is black

The prosecution rests.

Wurster's on a live WTF episode up today.

Nice, will check that. Fogelnest files also had a great best show special last week.

The WTF ep was mostly about his drumming which was weird since the end of the Best Show was obviously the impetus for having him on. The Fogelnest Files episode was great.

The end of the Best Show wasn't announced until months after that episode was taped - he's usually wayyyy behind on the live eps.

Oh well then I guess it was just the impetus for him finally getting the episode up.

That Fogelnest Files episode was cheap fun-- I'm totally OK to listen to two dudes just run through favorite Best Show clips for an hour. FWIW the Fogelnest Files with Gary the Squirrel and Andy Kindler is A++, basically just Gary ragging on Jake and Andy rather than Mike.

wait a second, I just figured out who this Spike persona is -- that guy has been phoning NYC radio shows for at least 30 years. He's still not me.

My voice is not queeny, either.

RIP Weirdos Exposed.

My theory now is that Dr Morbs is Fred from Honolulu....getting warmer?

I wonder how the final episode will go down. Tom has seemed pretty uncomfortable with the eulogizing in recent shows, and lots of regulars have already said their goodbyes. I'm sad to see it go - but it feels like time.

Spike/Morb, @LaurieFromMiami, Philly Boy Roy, …

Trying to catch up through the last few weeks before tomorrow; happy to hear Fredricks call in, a little bummed that we'll probably never hear from him again and the last thing he was talking about were "frequencies." :/

Really doubt Spike will be on the last show, I think he missed his chance. My guess is no calls at all, don't think Tom wants to risk additional eulogizing. Maybe even just three hours of Scharpling and Wurster wrapping up Newbridge.

think Paul F Tompkins will call in?

Getting misty eyed already....I really hope they leave the archives up

wfmu site is saying they will

that's good, thanks

I'd rather pay for a real (downloadable, mobile accessible) archive.

We're doing best show bingo at a bar!

Bad Company on the first call!

the callers took a nosedive like a month or two ago, it's weird, all of a sudden one loser after another

AP Mike's revenge.

PHILLY BOY ROY IN STUDIO!

jesus christ this call is brilliant

well actual tears in my eyes now

ugh yeah

The Fripp/Tony Levin shit was top shelf

Huey Lewis heartbeat sample in the sound collage still manages to freak me out a little.

yeah, this is completely gutwrenching

The final collage:
