The Best/Worst Moments of last night's show

[JON IN PHL]

"What, do you eat Fruit Roll-ups all day?"

[JonFromMaplewood]

"I am a robot" - Laurie Anderson

[Big Plastic Head]

"Poker Parsey."

Mike's continuous laugh during the Gary the Squirrel segment.

Y'all Begone Pond. A masterpiece.

[cteix]

Tom playing 'Tubthumping' after setting that caller up to think he was introducing laurie anderson. the maple sauce mussolini was also pretty great. the calls in the first hour were pretty solid.

[cteix]

Worst: the guy in the impersonations bit at the end saying paul f tompkins. very douchey.

[mackro]

A+ show. Another Double Nickels On The Dime style masterpiece. If you missed 24 seconds of this show, you missed 24 seconds of brilliance. Even the worst moments - the third scaredy cat call - was awkwardly brilliant. My week vastly improved thanks to last night.

[mackro]

Also, didn't he say Porker Parsley?

[Brandon0476]

I loved the dude who ate 15 hot dogs in four minutes to meet Jerry "Rem Dog" Remy.

This will shock the FOT Community, but I have come around to perversely enjoying Zach from Richmond's calls now. The guy is such a patsy that it's now funny to see Tom destroy him.

The bashing of "Sweet Caroline" at Red Sox games is also in my alley of entertainment. The "Sweet Caroline" trend is indicative of why I hate Red Sox Nation -- they weren't doing that 20 years ago when Fenway was half full, but they're certainly doing it now when 85% of the crowd are comprised of girls from BU wearing pink Red Sox caps with their mook fratguy boyfriends. Yet the national media presents that stadium as a collection of Chuckie's From Good Will Hunting.

Ya'll Gone Beyond Pond is THE BEST.

If I could go to an Orioles game and not have to hear John Denver's "Thank God I'm a Country Boy" ever again, it would be glorious.

[Dan of Orange]

Loved this show, Mike/Gary, Neil Diamond, fraidy cat callers, all gold.

[thom]

"Road Runner"

[heliumsocket]

I think my favorite Best Show moment ever: "Puppet School??"

The genuine fear and confusion in Wally/Z Man's voice.

[daveB from Oakland]

Tom: "You went to the parade just to eat cotton candy?"

Caller (seemingly non-ironically indignant): "Yes, why?"

"I'm trying to go on a gluten-free diet, but cotton candy isn't gluten-free".

[daveB from Oakland]

I almost died of a hilarity-induced heart attack during the Gary the Squirrel segment. I could listen to that guy bust beans all night long. Move over, Triumph the Insult Comic Dog ...

[Chrissy in MN]

Adding my praise for Y'allbegone Pond--well produced and creative.  Also, I'm hoping Gary the Squirrel movie reviews and joke time becomes a regular occurrence on the show.

[buffcoat]

I always look forward to the podcast, but I must admit I'm looking forward to this one a little more than usual.  Gary the Squirrel is a breakout character.

A reals shout out for Mike & Therese, too - I enjoy the occasional change of pace of Depravity's Rainbow.  Now if only I could get that demo version of "Us and Them" out of my head.
