I dont like them. I LOVE THEM. They are the highlight of the show for me. The craziness of the Newbridgeverse and the rainbow of creeps Jon Wurster is able to portray (in such a "soft G" manner) never ceases to make me laugh. The recent feltdown was quite a bit of radio. I thought Wally was pretty funny in the beginning, a puppet, on the radio, commenting on raunchy puppets, puppet matters and seemingly against his own master was sort of funny but then he just transparently became his master instead of a character.

While plugging that interview on twitter, Jon Wurster said there was no Best Show tonight (probably because Tom is off shooting a TV pilot!!).

CaptainPsyko posted:Yeah, the thing with the banned callers was they had gotten all kinds of circle jerky and not all that funny, but, at the same time, there was a reason they became regulars in the first place, which is that at some point, they were (mostly) great callers. Absolutely. I cant believe no one misses Spike and his terrible Mad-Magazine names.

COUNTIN THE BILLIES posted:AP Mike also heavily hinted that there was a rift in the chat last week. What did he say? 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 cant believe Wally Wackiman. Its just frustrating to hear that guy who had a funny character going but then weirdly folded and just became this upset person who still insists he's okay and a fun character. Even more infuriating is you have effin Tom Scharpling feeding him advice and jokes in the form of barbs and stories and he doesnt take any of it. Guh.

Good Slumlord posted:Am I alone in disliking Wurster? I've been listening for almost a year now and at this point if not listening to the show live I'll just skip passed his calls. The bits just feel very forced to me, I mean besides being overly long and totally boring. They are the absolute highlight of the show for me.

Asterios posted:I'm so disgusted with the Mit Hamine crew. I know this isn't the first time a group of angry kids have attacked the show, but it's just so gross this time around. Mit Hamine are loving terrible, but I cant figure out if they're pissed for real or if they think they are adding something to the show (like a Larry Da Perv or a Spike) while being abysmal at it.

I couldnt believe how the guy from Mit Hamine turned a corner into a worse caller persona/schtick. If he does it on purpose, he's a genius.

you are the earth posted:Am I the only one getting tired of Jason from Alabama? It's almost becoming a segment at this point. I cringe thinking about the old Dave from Knovxille calls, and this is feeling like the second coming. I enjoy it, he's one of those callers Tom bounces great from. One of the rare callers I'd love to be in studio with Tom one of these days.

For a while it just felt easier to believe that Zach from Mit Hamine had this sort of unmodulated bit--the thing was a schtick but he wasnt able to entirely shade it in the right way...but then Tom gives him two minutes and it was the mother of flame-outs. The way his voice started to crack without talking back to Tom was sort of amazing and equally maddening. What a weird shitstain--it felt like Tom was actually going to curse at him.

Grant DaNasty posted:I knew that he would eventually be getting the usual podcast sponsors like Squarespace, Nature Box, Me Undies, etc, and I don't fault him at all. He deserves to get paid. Now the plugging of Jeff Bridges' album was weird as hell. It's like if he started shilling Ringo paintings. Yeah. Jeff Bridges' album sounded exactly like something he'd make fun of. It's the type of detail he and Wurster'd put it in a call. Still, all about Tom Gettin Paid!

het posted:Also re: Tom Can't Complain, a couple people seem to think the last caller ("Connor"?) is Nathan Fielder. I definitely noticed during the calls that he sounded like Nathan but I just chalked it up to using a really neutral affect to be annoying I'm convinced it's Nathan Fielder. There were little joke details in his call that were too specific. Like having to turn the page to sing the rest of Podcast Heroes to read the lyrics.
