I've said it in chat and on the board a couple times, but I think it bears repeating: Tom should make Mike do the ads sometimes, Hank Kingsley style with their own bumper music and possibly a script, maybe even employ Jelloman, Kindler, or other friends of the show FPs to do them to break up the monotony from time to time and make them fun. I have absolutely no problem with the ads, I would just like to see Tom and co. have fun with them, it might be cool to even have Wurster characters weave them into the tapestry of a call from time to time. PBR talking about nem Nature Box snacks (or possibly this would be more of a Bryce or Hippy Johnny thing?) or something like that could be a lot of fun. The ads on Comedy Bang Bang and similar podcasts are fine and I'm glad they're there so I can keep getting these shows for free, but I've always wished that Aukerman would try to do something more interesting with them than just taping them separately and having them interspersed through the show sort of awkwardly. You could do something interesting with them in the body of the actual show that wouldn't be inhibit the flow of comedy.
Also, I hope Tom will consider doing a marathon show. I know they're a ton of work for him, but I always loved the FMU marathon shows and I would be more than happy to pledge to the new Best Show, I wouldn't even want a premium in return. Just knowing I was able to pledge money to a show I love would be reward enough for me, and I suspect I'm not the only one. I don't know if the new studio space is big enough/not residential enough to incorporate bands and/or loud music, but a couple weeks of marathon shows with special guests and music would be phenomenal.
