Oh, and Tom has similar Synchronicity powers, though not as direct as what you've said about Patton here.
Cases in point.
1. It was a Tuesday, I had just watched Being There for the first time. In the movie, Sellers watches a Basketball Jones video while riding to the mansion. I had never heard of Basketball Jones in my life.
An hour later, while listening to the Best Show, Tom remarked "What am I? Basketball Jones?"
2. After Tom and Paul F. Pumpkins spent an hour deconstrucing the "Gathering of the Juggaloes" commercial, concluding with "The closest thing to Shangri-La on EARTH!" I finished listening to that episode, then went to the Archives and picked out a random episode from 2006 (I think, maybe 2005). The first song played that night was called "Shangri-La."
