I like what he’s doing with the Oh Shut Up show and am surprised that pretty much all of the callers who got on during that segment got it and went along. Street Fighter fanfic show was also hilarious. I feel like with Tom’s love of pinball it shouldn’t surprise me that he might know about arcade games as well but I am. My one complaint about Oh Shut Up is that it’s supposed to be some angry New Jersey call in show but the bed music is one of Tom’s hip garage rock bands.

Yeah but Roy talking about Philly burning after they beat the Pats sounds amazing

I never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.
Anyone else keeping up with Meet My Friends The Friends? I was skeptical at first but it's totally won me over. So far each new episode has found a new way to be funny.

I just saw a video of a Philly fan eating horse poo poo. Now I REALLY want a Philly Boy Roy call

Philly Boy Roy probably behaved himself and had a completely uneventful night.

Tom mixing up Blade and Good Will Hunting made me laugh out loud at work.

Also, love that Simon Doom song. I listened to all his stuff right after.

We'll see. It is a little worrying that he's missed two weeks in a row. Hopefully things will get back on track this week.

From what I can parse from twitter is sounds like he got a nasty bug.

Based on his tweets, I think he got too sick to do the show the first week, and then because he was so sick he missed a bunch of other work-related stuff which meant he had to miss the second show because he was doing the other work he had missed.

I actually didn't mind the break, Best Show is so goddamn long that not having two in a row allowed me to catch up on my podcast backlog :v:

Yes.

Weird callers this week (in a good way), crock pot guy, BB from LV who is one of my favorites, etc. - good episode to come back with despite the lack of a Wurster call

Is MGMT in the studio the whole time? I'm only like 45 minutes into the show. I don't really listen to them and definitely don't want to listen to them get interviewed for 3 hours. They must leave at some point yeah?

No. They don't. Some mildly funny stuff happens, but it's not an amazing episode and they're in the studio the whole time and are never interesting.

I like Tom's obsession with MGMT and how much it mostly clashes with his fan base. I'll admit I liked their first EP and album somewhat, and I thought Congratulations was the most boring poo poo ever, so it was so weird when he first brought it up as this great album by a band he considered crappy.

I actually just finally got around to listening to it again today like 8 years later and it's pretty drat good. I actually think it would have been received much better today than it was when it was released.

Nope, he's been on tour with Superchunk, plus the two weeks without a show

I really love the fake radio shows but does he really have to do the static noises for like literally 3 minutes straight?

I, no joke, interviewed for a video production job with the first guy being interviewed in that video. I still have flashbacks to that day. He is a Scharpling character.

Yeah before Jon Wurster was on I thought the video was posted because of the ridiculousness of that dude like how someone posted another video earlier of a guy who sounded like Philly Boy Roy.
