I like the Billy Crystal much better than the Ryan Adams or That one about the sleazey dude.

The Ryan Adams "gem" is my favorite so far. I never could stand that guy, and listening to Tom tear into his albums made me laugh out loud at my work. I'd love to hear more unfair record reviews. Since I've become a loyal listener I haven't heard any but the one replayed on gems.

New Gem today! It's like an avalanche of one hilarious line after another. Non-stop funny! :D

Congratulations on an excellent pick, Martin.

Thanks!

(GASP!) You could care less about your town? (GASP!) I can't believe you just said that.

Classic!

Martin, if I may I'd like to put in a request... the first gene simmons call where he talks about delivering Tom's eulogy.

I don't think Tom mentioned it, but I thought the most ridiculous rip-off on that Ryan Adams album was the one that sounded like The Replacements.

I hadn't heard those lines in their original context. So great.

I was listening to this one on a plane sitting between two strangers and I was spending the whole time listening to this smirking and trying my hardest to hold back laughter. Classic.

Thank you so much, Martin. This may be the funniest one yet. As I write this, I'm thinking of ten others that are real contenders, but man, this is just classic Best Show.
