I thought it was the best crop of callers in a long time in terms of mixing Old Favorites with bad callers who Tom is able to dispatch in an entertaining way. None of the lame post-WFMU regulars who just gnaw through airtime.

Good lord are this week's callers an exercise in contrasts. Starting the year off with a whole lotta drippy dudes.

I hope Tom doesn't feel like he owes the callers anything, now that they can donate on Patreon

Also I genuinely thought that the guy trying to start a feud with David Crosby was a bit, right up to the point he was bad companied.

Tom deliberately misunderstanding other podcasts is a running bit now. See also: Serial, the show about escaping haunted houses; Welcome to Nightshade

Also "Mike is telling me... I don't want to talk to you anymore" was so good

Doughboys has gradually become "The Hamburger Guys"

(Still really want to hear Tom on Doughboys grousing his way through a 90 minute discussion of some New Jersey-based chain.)

Farscape is actually pretty cool.
How are people liking Best Show 24/7? It's pretty great but it seems to be too heavily seeded with the newest show. I've tuned in like 3 separate times now to the latest show.

I think it will get better. Dudio was asking for volunteers to help pull more old clips on the show this week, so I think it will balance out eventually.

honestly one of the best one-joke gimmicks in the history of the show. he doesn't call too frequently so you don't get sick of him and there's usually at least a little misdirection before the punchline.

I'm sure if you tweet at dudio or the official best show account you'd get directed to the right place, if that isn't it already.

At first I thought they were referencing the old Wurster call with the Audio Guru. The thought of Mike and other guys his age just sitting around getting wasted and listening to music is so... squalid? is the only word I can think of.

Oh ya, totally the hallmark of a great audiophile. Although I coulda sworn he's said he's listened to Steely Dan.

Wow. No comments on the resurgence of the classic feud of Tom vs. Nick DiPaolo which was entirely a consequence of DiPaolo making fun of Tom's jacket years and years ago.

Ya, that was tough to hear. Those were all Bouchard shows too, so I wasn't certain who he was talking about. But Jon Benjamin and Loren Bourchard and PFT are some of my favorite comedic minds in the world, and I just want them all to be friends!

The rift between Tom and JHB has been going on for awhile. Tom was particularly blunt about it this episode.

Does Tom just Maron-it and blow little things out of proportion? The Best Show seems to walk a line between hopeful thoughts and toxic behavior. I thought Tom played it up for his on-air persona when certain people stopped calling into the show, but the dumb grudges keep piling up.
