We've been getting fewer callers. Tom quit 40 minutes early last night.

(Man....this board is dead.)

I think the main point of it being back is so people who are interested can look stuff up or review the scope of fan reaction to the show over the years it was up. Boards 1 and 2 are gone forever, except for a few scraps.

I don't think I ever listened to that one - nice find!

That's the latter-day ZB voice, too. There are couple of characters where JW sort of lost the original voice or found it too hard on his actual voice.

Show Discussion / TOM: A Best Show on WFMU Tribute to Ram

Re-listened to it this morning since Monday is the 50th anniversary of the original... completely forgot about the cameo in "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" and literally did a spit take.

I've been wondering what the retro-sounding electronic beat is that Tom uses from time to time in the sound collage. I heard it in a Diplo mix too. It's the instrumental of Can't Stop Won't Stop by Young Gunz.

Show Discussion / Best Show Bingo Card

« Last post by YuriDedman on April 15, 2021, 02:54:22 AM »

This week, Tom mentioned making a bingo card for the Best Show. I can sort of see it backfiring and Tom yelling at the crew about becoming predictable, but even that exchange would be funny. Tom, if you read this, keep in mind these entries come from our love for you and laffs you bring us on the Best Show. Here is a thread to add your squares:

"I'll say this"
*Tom sings*
"How about that"
Manson Family
"Aye-yi-yi"
NBA Basketball
"Home of..."
*whistling to mean marijuana*
"I'm not smart"
*Southern accent*
"Good guy, good guy"
*British accent*
"Up in this piece"
King Crimson
