The Best/Worst Moments of last night's show

[mike_b]

Andrew Sandoval's new book "the music came last."

Also John's dracula voice was the funniest thing.

Pigpen/Suicide/Springbreakers/Podcast/Woolerycatheter mashup was insane genius.

And in the middle of that, who was it who thanked everyone who supported "Grandma's Boy" to a cheering crowd?  What crowd was that?  That sounds like a sound bite from an alternate dystopian universe but it's from our own!!

Anyway, keep building that Pigpen Teardrop Suite.  Maybe add Kelsey Grammar's "uuugh, oooh"?

It was Nick Swardson.

And I'm pretty sure there were excerpts from The Day The Laughter Died in there too.  Genius sound collage, Girl Talk's got nothing on Tommy Wonderful.

Definitely there were excerpts from The Day The Laughter Died in there. Maggie Serota told a funny story about listening to TDTLD (as it's widely known) in the car with Tom on a recent Low Times and mentioned the bit he had worked into the sound collage (which I was also a big fan of).

Stage Moms and Podcast Dads are the worst type of maniacs and monsters. I hope little 13-month old Fogelnest is able to survive this experience with his sanity intact.

I liked the interview at the start but did become frustrated with him not hearing Tom and going on for about 5 sentences. Also, he has a really pronounced rising intonation at the end of his sentences? Which makes him sound like he's always asking a question?

Was wondering if that was what inspired Mike from Stonebridge to reference the very same tendency in this week's call?

[Steve of Bloomington]

I recall reading a book about Australia years ago (early 2000s) where the author remarked on young people's tendency to talk like every sentence was a question, so we know who to blame. I think it was specific to a region or city, but can't recall the specifics.

That woman is the Ozzie Bill O'Reilly, isn't she?


Also, from the other videos it looks like Corey made it onto the Australian Big Brother. What a lovely lesson for the Millennials.

Cain't see the bloomin' thang.

Regarding finding books with personal inscriptions...

I found this in book on Billy Wilder in a charity shop, and couldn't bear to buy it after reading this.




(Not sure how well the image will turn out, but it says:

Darling Andy,

You are my Jack Lemmon, William Holden, Tony Curtis, Fred McMurray - How could I ever be bored with you? Enjoy this book - Your favourite film director. N - )

Got to listen live to some parts last night. That 5-10 minute mix Tom threw on (around 10:30-ish?) with Frank Teardrop and the Grateful Dead and the insane conservative radio rant and Kelsey Grammar's fall and Chuck Woolery's commercial for blood stents and some kid rapping terribly and the bonus of Tom not being able to stop laughing and so much more was absolutely amazing. I could listen to that all day. Not sure if Tom set it up earlier in the show but it seemed to come out of left field. Loved it.

some kid rapping terribly

Pretty sure this was Andy Kindler from last week, doing his best Pigpen impression. I agree the megamix was hallucinatory fun and also scary because of Suicide.

[JesseFromVegas]

What was the thing with Seth Green talking about some film?

Also god the caller to that right wing radio show was disturbing.

[Josh]

What was the thing with Seth Green talking about some film?

Pretty sure this was the terminally unfunny Nick Swardson.

It sounded exactly like Seth Green though and only a tiny bit like Nick Swardson.

I'm still on last week's episode - that Pig Pen scatting may be the single best "found audio" in the history of the Best Show, and that's saying a lot. Tom's mashup was excellent.

Them women got their evil lovin' ways
Evil lovin' ways
Evil lovin' ways
C'mon noooow
Evil lovin' ways

And Pig Pen did this for TWENTY-NINE MINUTES - maybe every night! I think Andy Kindler's take on how the other Grateful Dead members felt is on target.

Nice work, AP Mike!
