Best Show Gems

Lots are bigger in most of NC than in the Northeast.  You can do pretty much anything and not get caught disturb the neighbors.

Really liked this call a lot. Particularly the description of the facial hair over his jowls as: “A dying, albino Chipmunk torso hanging off my chin.”

Hey! Why is the football speech cut out of the Seth Galifianakis Gem???  1)Did I fall asleep and miss it? 2)Was he on the show more than once? 3)Was it because they mined that material for Due Date?

I was so looking forward to hearing and playing for the missus.

A lot of stuff was cut out from the Seth Gem, strictly for time. Mostly listener calls. He was there for I would say almost half the show. I had to trim it down, and it's still pretty long for a Gem.

Just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work, Martin.  These are always a treat.

I see.  Great job.  It was long for a Gem, but I don't think you'd get any complaints on that.  If only the episode was archived somewhere where I could listen to the whole thing, huh?

Also, in my heaven, Seth Galifianakis saying "octopus" plays on a continuous loop.

The new Gem has the thing that turned me into a Best Show fan-- Dick Francis' "The Horse That Went Away... To The Other Side".

It's a Best Show Gems Holiday Extravagonza!

Great job!  Because of the holiday I wasn't expecting one to be up today, and was happy to see there was.  It might be my favorite yet, I've already listened to it a few times today.  Thanks for all your work assembling it!

[Meagan]

Seconded! Really enjoyed this. Thank you.

Zeff Marshack!  Or is it Zeph?  Either way, thanks for this one, Martin.

I also loved hearing the Ted Leo cover of the Dworkin classic. I'd only ever heard it before on YouTube.

Zeph Marshack, born of the Poster Children FOTwa.  Not "The Poster Children", though, never call them that.

Zeph called in three times (http://buffcoat.blogspot.com) and is my favorite Newbridge-related caller of all time.  He spanks rhinos at the zoo in West Columbia.

Excellent episode.  Thank you for the work you put into this, Martin.

Loved the tweaked format of the latest episode.  It's a great one for potential FOTs to start with.

Because so many Wurster calls are the length of 2xLPs, a lot of the 7" length calls get forgotten about, this week's episode was like a nice little mixtape of those.
