Makes Phil Hendrie seem about as funny as a tax return...
Tom Scharpling is the king or radio hoaxes, and a true comic genius! There is quite simply nothing funnier on the radio today than Tom Scharpling (and his partner in crime, Superchunk drummer, Jon Wurster). Tom may (or may not) have been influenced by Phil Hendrie, but the truth is, he is MAGNITUDES funnier than Hendrie. Where Hendrie is an amazing technician, Scharpling (and Wurster) are all about great ideas and insanely funny characters. Or put simpler, Hendrie=Yngwie Malmsteen, Scharpling & Wurster=The Ramones. Which would you rather be stuck on a desert island with? Absurd, unpretentious, spontaneous, intelligent, iconoclastic, pyroclastic are all words that come to mind when I listen to this show! You better subscribe to this podcast, or I'm gonna come over to your house and make you eat a Lawnmower!
