This has come up over the years, but there are now enough Best Show fans who've listened to substantial portions of the show's history live or on the archives to weigh in.My favorite show is:September 6, 2005: Tom Crawls Back To WFMU Completely Defeated, The Sirius Deal A Distant Memory. The Pain In His Voice Will Send Chills Up Your Spine. He Fights To Get The Will To Carry On. Does He Get It? Listen! The first hour of this show is one of the best, funniest, most audacious pieces of entertainment I have ever heard, bar none. The pain in Tom's voice feels so real that it's almost impossible, while listening to it, to convince yourself that he DIDN'T just quit to join Little Steven and then come crawling back. It's pure magic, and if you're a fan who hasn't heard it, you need to listen to the episode before this one - to hear the swagger - and then this episode.And to then find out, later, that he had no idea that this was where the Sirius arc would end up was the icing on the cake.
