one of my favorite deep cuts is from early on, maybe 03? the jist of it: tom is doing an unfair recoard review of the new Steve Malkmus album and Jon calls up. this seems like it is unscripted, and there also feels like there is a little tension in Jon's voice, like maybe he knows steve in passing, and realizes that if he has any chips to cash that he is about to burn them, cuz tom ask the callers name and jon says something like he does not want to say and that he is kinda nervous... and it builds from there, with Jon ending the call saying something like "got that new Monster Magnet? turn it up!!
upon further inspection the show is from March 6 2001, at about the 1/2 hour mark....
