What a show!  I wanted to call in soooo bad, but just couldn't think of one for the topic.  Then of course, I thought of one about 30 minutes after the show ended.

Paul is such a delightful man! He's so naturally funny that he can crack me up talking about ANYTHING.

I can't quite articulate my feelings about his cursing on-air without getting rambly: The few times I've been tempted to call the Best Show I typically don't. Part of it is because I'm too nervous, and also because I am a (celebrated?) potty-mouth and scared to death that in my hypothetical call to the Best Show I'd accidentally curse and break Tom's heart. When other known potty-mouths like Paul or Patton are on the show I marvel at their ability to speak so comfortably and freely without at least ALMOST cursing (like that thing where you begin to say the cuss and recover and it comes out SHI-OOT or FU-REAKIN or whatever). I'm a little disappointed that Paul faltered but feel a little better about myself as a person who slips up frequently. He's human! I'M HUMAN. WE'RE HUMANS.

I wonder if this slip will be on the podcast? I would assume so. What did he say?
