Is there a reliable way to listen to the show live on an Android device? I've tried pasting the streaming link into VLC player, but that only works for about 15 minutes at best for me.

I think I'm going to make the 2010 Four Loko episodes an annual listening tradition. The contrast of a sane, sedate Hodgman and an unhinged Tom/Mike is so good.

I just listened to that episode for the first time myself this week and yeah, I'll put that in my annual rotation.

After the back-to-back Bad Company-ings so early in the show, I started to wonder if it was the beginning of a prepared bit.

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

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.)

Hey I discovered the best show a few months ago from Hollywood Handbook and have been going through listening to all the old episodes, and just realized that this thread exists.

I'm wondering if anyone knows what the soundbite is that Tom uses for the good @bestshow submissions, where I think it says "everybody out of the tunnel!"

It's Larry David screaming "EVERYBODY OUT OF THE CHUNNEL!" from the episode of Seinfeld where they go see "Chunnel"

Of all the poo poo Tom has pinned on Mamacita over the years, I think stolen valor might be my favorite.

"He takes their money; he'll yell at other Marines, he put the highest ranking on his thing. He made a guy drop and give him 20, he told him 'I'm a General.'"

Does anybody know which episode it is where a caller brings up Stolen Valor again and you can hear Mike yelling about it in the background?

Listen to the album. It’s something else. The last song is a piano ballad.

And read the "liner notes," such as they are.

Notice that in the song Hate died at 9 and the funeral is at 11 o’clock on Friday. 9-11 is reversed. We’re making it good and taking something that was bad and turning it into something good, because Hate is 9-11. I wrote the song because I feel that Love will conquer Hate.

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

Double Threat is great, but I already don't know if any moment is going to top their first attempt at the Podcast Co-Host Newlywed Game. Tom's answer to "Who would play you in the movie of your life?" ("Danny DeVito, 30 years from now") made Julie realize that her earnest answers were going to be no match for Tom's and she demanded they put it off until the next episode, while she laughed uncontrollably for about 5 minutes.

Language-wise, maybe the same/slightly more, but content-wise, different story. I was going to say "Just avoid any episode where they talk about Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey or Woody Allen" and then realized that those kinds of guys and their antics come up basically every episode, even when they aren't necessarily the focus.

How do you feel about the kids hearing about Weinstein overseeing a reboot of Little Shop of Horrors where Seymour feeds Audrey II by jerking off?

Today on Double Threat, Tom proposes his big comeback musical for Broadway's reopening, "Broadway Stinkers," and it's the hardest I've laughed at anything in a while. Specifically Tom describing how it would begin with him slowly backing out to center stage in a beeping Rascal scooter before yelling "SHUT UP" at the audience and orchestra.
