Tom, I noticed on your twitter that you were talking about anonymous haters driving you to end the show. Is this true (I hope not), and who are these anonymous haters?
-
Maybe it's time for you to take the advice of the Wii:

Reagan 88 will do whatever Reagan 88 gotta do. However, if I remember, Reagan stayed in office for the rest of the term.

Well, maybe, but I hope Tom doesn't take too long of a break. One week without the Best Show and I start to get the shakes.
-
Tom knows you can't top it and you can't stop it.

They are anonymous, which is one of many reasons they should be ignored. Also, anonymous haters are morons.
-
I guess it's kind of dumb to ask who anonymous people are. I think I was wondering what they're saying and where. I just can't imagine the Best Show having haters, I mean it's got great music, and a hilarious host, and calls. What's to hate? It's gotta be some sort of twitter inside joke.

Hey didn't I read somewhere that anonymous was was giving The Friends of Tom a hard time?

Some other anonymous haters entirely:

And sad sacks at the anonymous board: IM NOT EVEN TALKING ABOUT YOU. There's only four of you over there and you all love me.

This is probably either AST or Poster Children again.

I was thinking AST ...

Not AST.

Speaking of which, do ppl here like that board too? I like the comedy.

I like the information on that board but I don't like how the board works and is laid out.
-
I started on AST way before coming here, I'm still active there.
-
i wasn't even gonna chime in here, but i think the threat to the best show is more based on job offers that would render the show undoable. the hating just makes the decision easier (as if it's really that difficult in the grand scheme of things. one has to do what one has to do for one's self.)

is the cardboard factory being shuttered?

Ken Freedman needs to whip out the golden handcuffs, tout suite.

I'm the first half, but not so much the second. I read the main page maybe once a week or so, but probably haven't logged in or posted anything at all this year. I make for a lousy community board member apparently.
Speaking of, I just remembered I still don't have my Jerkdock CD and Naked Comediennes calendar yet. Dang!

I like it, but some of the posters try way too hard to be funny. Constantly. Unfortunately, they aren't.
And it'd be too bad if the show ended. But if Tom found greener pastures and he's tired of the show, then I don't mind. He's put in what, 10 years of amazing, free entertainment? He deserves happiness, whatever that may be.
-
Did I mention I haven't listened to many of the archives.
They're in the bank. Drawing interest.

It seems pretty clear, just as you said.
The elliptical nature of the posts just BEG for questions, though. It's a great community here, and it's based around Tom and all that he does. I don't know what board he was referring to, either. Can't help but be a little concerned.
-
Can we talk about this?
-
Threads like this are such a bummer. Why even talk about it? There will be plenty of time to be upset when the show actually does end. All this is just useless speculation and grosses me out.
-
It's hilarious listening to four year old shows in the archive and hearing Tom talk about shutting the show down. Ha!
-
Well, I wasn't planning to go there, I just thought it was a weird bizarre place.
-

We cannot talk about it. You want to go there, go there. But don't talk about it here.
Tom.
-
Gotcha, Tom.

It ends every Tuesday at 11pm.
