Anyone going through the archives, who's the guy calling in with all the characters like the fella who got promoted to office manager and the British record promoter and Vanilla "Hotbox" Grits? I think I know the voice, but I can't place it. He's, uhhhhh, okay.

Tom used to have a bigger cast of callers, including Matt Walsh & H. Jon Benjamin, who are both pretty huge comedians now. He gave an interview once where he said Wurster was clearly putting in more work than anyone else, so it just became the two of them. I think Tom had Andrew Earles on a few years later to promote his book.

Earles is a really funny guy. He just put out a new book about 80s-90s indie. He and Jeffrey Jensen put out a great prank call album on Matador around the time that "Art of the Slap" came out. There are some shared music nerd sensibilities. I think Jeff Jensen runs a food truck.

I remember one where he was pugging a movie he had a bit part in and pretending he was the star that was really good.

My favorite is the one where he calls to promote a special called Matt Walsh Goes To Hawaii and it slowly comes out that they shot the whole thing on a soundstage. Then Horatio Sanz calls and says he's gonna sue him if he doesn't get cut out and Benjamin calls as a guy who just reads IMDB stuff of various people for like 20 minutes. It's super great. The Walsh & Benjamin bits are easily what I miss the most in later episodes.

I'm listening to Jon Benjamin's Smirnoff Ice call right now. Good stuff. The previous episode had a two hour call with a Nostradamus scholar. I kept waiting for the punchline, but it never came...

Illinois Smith posted:That's actually a real guy. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've heard him on Coast to Coast. I just meant more that I thought Tom would try to sneak some more cuties into the mix, like his interviews with Uncle Luke and Kevin Smith. But nope, aside from a tanked Wurster call and another possibly set up call by a guy with an Adam Sandler voice, it was a two hour interview with some dork Nostradamus expert. There were a couple of interesting parts, but it was mostly Tom listening to the dude drone on and on.

That Kevin Smith interview was probably the cringiest thing I have ever heard on the show. It was also hilarious.

Do you think its possible to get a decent avatar out of the pants-whipping footage? I may have to settle for Zachary Brimstead, Esq. You don't judge me, I judge you.

Tom spoke with the New York Times about the revival: http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/02/arts/tom-scharpling-plans-podcast-of-the-best-show.html The article claims it's now coming back "later this month."

He's also doing some podcast rounds. I'm listening to him on Todd Barry's podcast right now: http://www.feralaudio.com/74-tom-scharpling/ He talks about the show a bunch, and what he expects the format for the new show to be like (pretty much the same thing, done independently, also trying to bring it out to live shows more often, if possible). He's also been on the Sidestreets podcast, which I've never heard of: http://sidestreetspodcast.tumblr.com/post/104073222942/episode-041-the-chump-steamroller-with-tom and was apparently on Keith and the Girl today as well.

Are any of the recent podcasts Tom has been on particularly good? I listened to the Todd Barry one but have never heard most of the other ones.

Is it just me, or does it sound like that theme was rerecorded from scratch? It sounds a lot cleaner than I remember it.

It sounds about the same as it did in the Best Show Gems intro soundbyte.

Yeah, I think we just get better sampling when it's not through the radio. Of course I knew Tom would be really psyched about this, but it felt great to hear the excitement and enthusiasm in his voice. I'm loving pumped.
