Tom's also usually not passive agressive when he wants to hear less from callers who don't have much to say when they call. I remember him just outright banning all the regulars at some point. I urge anyone who's never heard them to listen to the Petey's Birthday episodes, they're great. Tom's manic joy when they got to annoy WFMU folk as Doc Shock & Doc Shock Jr. for 30 minutes is adorable. I miss the days when the show had tons of kids calling in general, it led to some great moments.

I'm bummed Laurie never called back after the ban. Or at least on a regular basis, but I don't think she's called at all. She always had a good dynamic with Tom.

In general, I think this is the thing I miss the most from the show being over the air. I remember in the shows waning months, there was this one old jersey dude who just wanted go call and reminisce about classic rock with Tom. He called like 3 or 4 times and was awesome.

I don't keep up with Seven Second Delay as much as I used to but she used to call that show all the time too and I haven't heard her on that one either.

My favourite thing about Best Show Version 2.0 is definitely the half-remembered vaguely misogynist Bee-Gee's songs. Don't know if anyone else in this thread watches Steven Universe, but Tom has really been killing it on there lately too.

tumor looking batty posted:great mine hasnt even been shipped yet. Apparently my tracking number updated sometime today saying it shipped over the weekend. Even though I live only a few hours from Chicago (where it shipped from), it seems to be visiting every neighboring state first (predicted delivery date Friday). Oh well. I wonder if demand was a bit higher than they expected given what numero group has been saying. Anyways, the street date is in May I think, so it could be worse.

Tom's recording a non-live episode at Earwolf studios in LA tonight then putting it up tomorrow morning. Says it going to be a particularly special one. Exciting stuff.

The only people who really know are Tom, Paul, and, I dunno, probably their wives. Of the two of them, the only one who ever brought it up was Tom, and he'd do it in the most cryptic, passive-aggressive way possible.

The prerecorded episode this week is pretty great. Having Wurster just hanging out in character in the studio is a totally different vibe.

Nobody really knows any more than that.

They were working on a pilot together, then the next thing you know they're all unfriended and its hush hush. Then Tom's weird fans decided to reinforce that no one should ever ever ever under any circumstances bring it up or ask tom because its impossibly rude to even consider wondering about something Tom has mentioned repeatedly. I think some people have the idea it must be really dark or personal, the bad thing Paul F Thompkins did, but I dunno Tom's friends still work with Paul so its probably some weird Tom thing

This was also around the time they were both working on a pilot for adult swim that never got picked up, i imagine that'd be a pretty good catalyst.

I always assumed the FT / Tom beef was related to that sitcom Paul's gonna star in that sounds like Fawlty Towers. Who cares though, he was a great part of the show for about four years but there's plenty of those who don't call anymore and it's not like there's some terrible shortage of PFT-related podcast content out there. Just pick a random podcast you've never heard, there's probably an episode with him on it and it will be funny.

He was the best part of the first 2-3 years, but I haven't continued my journey through the archives so I don't know when he stopped.

Oh christ, Wurster's gonna be on the next Steven Universe. I wanted this, but I don't know that I'm ready for it. Also all of Wurster's characters are so wildly inappropriate for children, I have no idea what to expect.

That one was 100% Toms fault. If he had handled it differently there would have been zero drama. Still kind of annoys me that he never just said what happened or didn't bring it up in the first place.
