het posted:Hahaha James is back on this week's half hour of power Thank god! I love how it clearly bugs Tom but he tries to act like it doesn't. We just need to get Spike back. Edit: I also like how after the original ban on regular callers a couple years ago, they just seemed to have mostly stopped calling on their own with an exception or two. Most of them were not really very interesting. Dr.Radical fucked around with this message at 16:45 on Mar 19, 2016 |

My take on Spike is that he's never going to call in regularly again, because he was never really a fan of the show, just a fan of hearing his own voice coming out of the radio. Also this call was recently brought to my attention and I think it's a must-listen. Maybe it's 'cause I'm a latecomer to the show but this version of Tom caught me totally off guard.

This week I pulled a Tom on a telemarketer at work and it felt really good : "I was talking to your coworker and we got disconnected, so I was wondering if I could talk to you instead." "Wait, what happened before?" "I said I got disconne-"

I listened to this again and fifteen minutes after the Captain Jack call a caller speaks to Tom about "Obama, his first name is Barack, I believe" who's just been elected for the first time and it really brought home the passing of time and Tom's schtick about "doing this since Clinton was in power".

Garry Shandling has died. It'll be interesting to see how Tom is going to talk about this on next week's show.

The Garry Shandling grudge was always hilarious to me because all it stemmed from was him being kind of rude to Tom on Twitter but it was fuel for multiple rants.

Tom asked whether Shandling thought Artie (the producer on the show) thought Larry Sanders was funny. It's a dumb fan question, the kind everyone on TV with a Twitter account probably gets asked a bunch. I can't find the original response anymore but it sounds like Shandling thought Tom was making fun of him or something. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-wcBX8-9JA Illinois Smith fucked around with this message at 16:51 on Mar 27, 2016 |

Tom and Jo(h)n Daly were on the Comedy Bang Bang that came out today. Highlights include Tom swearing and Jon improvising a new "look it up Scotty" song.

This "try to make Tom complain and if he does he has to donate money to an animal shelter and also give money to the crew" game is fantastic. They should do it again.

I like how a lot of the first half is esoteric discussions about "well, what is a complaint anyway?" and then someone asks him about Phil Jackson and he just goes WELP I GUESS I'M OUT 20 BUCKS

I love that he got mad enough to call someone a dick. But my absolute favorite part was how Tom says "Okay, just these last 3 people already on the line and then we're done" and the last 2 of them wind up being Wally Wackiman and Vacation Jason back to back.

Unsung hero of the whole hour is absolutely AP Mike, for, I'm almost certain, orchestrating the timing of that.

Woah. This is one of the best episodes I have heard. This proves to me how feel-good shows like those in No Dude November were just snooze-fests. Tom needs to get mad, it's a necessity for the show.

This was the first Best Show I've listened to in a few months and it was fantastic. It reminded me of one of his last shows on WFMU where he wished death on a bad caller. Angry Tom is the Best Tom.

Tom often talks about how there is no flattering way to say that "you look like____" even if it is supposed to be a compliment. I thought the entire hour would take off a year of his life, that was harsh.
