Spike doesn't look like Wesley Willis at all. Because they're both black and Spike is a little overweight? I have no idea what you are talking about

I kind of assumed the show was going to end with chumbawumba or a terrible caller.

i'm torn about the best show getting less popular, on one hand fewer weirdo callers is a bummer but on the other hand tom is so great as a bitter underdog

I am listening to the episode right now and I'm waiting for a caller to call Tom a peeper

Did anyone find out if that disabled guy who called was for real? The software he was using isn't one of the ones specifically for disabled people.

That awkward racist dude in the half hour of power was great because they gave him a lot of room to keep digging as he said more and more suspicious things

This show is never gonna have good weirdos again. I wish cassius would call again, he's better than avalanche bob in every way

The Tom can't complain/tompressions were really the only shows that that really benefitted from the callers being insider-y. Without explicit prompting no one is really antagonistic enough to be interesting with few exceptions (mattress guy, Cassius, tom's real life). Everything else that's good about the show is incredibly labor intensive like the 2006 episode.

Rock music is dead so of course Tom can't find anything to play on the show. Guitars in 2017 are like playing a clarinet in 1992.

I started listening to the show at 1x because Tom leaves so much dead air on the show and it contributes to the pacing imo

inferis
Dec 30, 2003

Yeah all my hockey and tech podcasts are sped up and most of the comedy and music are at 1x.

this show has very few openly antagonistic callers compared to the radio days and i think angry tom is good tom

Well, since it was a promotional call, not a regular mutant, let's give it a 6.

Also, the cookie hacker can call every episode for all I care. (Snack hacker?)

Every avalanche bob call is promotional though.

I like hearing Tom pretend he doesn't know anything about something he knows everything about.

I can't tell if Avalanche Bob is a brilliant performance artist or a legitimate, very opportunistic crazy person.

what about him makes you think he could be brilliant? is it just a 'he's so bad he can't be for real'? the joke is barely funny on the face of it

The only 2 patreon subscriptions I have are to podcasts with exclusive episodes. I would subscribe to the best show patreon if and only if they paywalled episodes.

The callers aren’t the problem it’s just Tom is getting soft now and just won’t hang up on anyone who likes anything he has ever done, including the best show

As I post this Kat from Raleigh calls in to the show to make sure she didn't get GOMPed.

i still don't understand how that wasn't a "make sure you didn't what???" response there

That moment when Tom nervously explains why massa’s is named that to his first black guest was hilarious and he needs to have more poc guests.

Tom is working harder than ever on this show, the callers are the worst they’ve ever been, and he is probably barely breaking even financially, when is he going to have an actual on air meltdown?

I still have no idea how the time travel show went so well if it had live callers. It seems like it would have gotten either no callers because people thought it was actually an old episode or terrible ‘comedians’ who tried too hard to be in on the bit.

Also, Cassius needs to call again some time, or the mattress guy, since Tom is so nice these days I think he plays off lovely people really well
