Man, Skeevy started off terribly but when the puppet started going on about how disgusting Mike was it completely turned the corner.

I gotta hear more about Vance's story before I start to like him. Digging that he's a huge prog-rock fan. Sounds like a bona fide goon already.

If anyone else is listening now, Its so stupid but I haven't laughed as hard as I did about that Peter/Bob Seeger call in awhile. He just got so mad.

There could be no guests and no Wurster call for the rest of the show and it would still be one of the most solid episodes I've ever heard. Scharpling is on fire tonight.

Tom was in the best mood he's been in for months. He even wanted to see how James was doing!

I don't think any episode with both an extended call by Philly Boy Roy and Vance can be "just okay" (That and the hang up on the kid was glorious this week).

You're right. Really a mediocre Best Show is better than 90% of other podcasts (or radio shows). I guess my main gripe was the lovely callers that were the majority of the show. PBR, Vance, the Canadian Glenn Back, and Jen Kirkman were great.

Any guesses on who the angry email was from? Judging by the foul language and spelling, I'm saying it was Rogan.

I think it was a bit too, but I remember Bill Burr talking about how he enjoys emailing people who don't like him. He said he always fills them with as many grammatical errors and misspellings as possible, too, including the there/their/they're thing. It's probably not him, especially since Tom's never name checked him. Just reminded me a lot of what he said.

I think Rogan's a complete dickwad, so I wouldn't really be stunned if it was him.

Holiday party tonight. Everybody tune in! Should be crazy.

I thought it was Kevin Smith who wrote the letter. Now, I have no idea... I guess there was a bit of a falling out between Tom and PFT over the new show that isn't happening anymore. Sucks, I hope they get over it.

According to the FOT boards, there's really no evidence of this besides the fact that PFT and Scharpling aren't following each other on Twitter anymore and Tom keeps leaving out the Pod F. Tompkast out of his approved podcasts.

Yeah, I realize it's nothing more than idle speculation but that would really suck if true. Hopefully if they do have issues it's just from working together and they can resolve it with some time and space. PFT is a big part of the Best Show to me. The first week I listened was the Gathering of the Juggalos episode. And God forbid Tom and Jon ever have a falling out...

Yes, I realize how dumb it is to be worrying about the friendship status of two people I've never met (on an internet forum with people I've never met).

For me it started in an interview where Tom said the show he had been working on with PFT didnt work out and if it were to go forward, it would be without him. Seemed like bad news. Like others, its really weird to be worried about the friendship of two strangers but I love those strangers together so much!

I went to that board out of curiosity after Tom brought it up on Twitter. Then I thought about how the people posting over there are adults who can drive and vote and now I'm worried for our future. I guess whenever you do something for a lot of people there are bound to be weirdos, but Jesus.
