Today is the 10th Anniversary of the Best Show!

I first stumbled upon The Best Show in 2004 and nothing has been the same since. Thank you Tom, Jon, and every guest and caller that has made the Best Show, the best show.  Cheers!

I first started listening in 2005 when TL posted on his site that he had called in.  After first listening, I thought the show was really strange but all I know is I wanted to listen more.  Much, much more.  Thanks Tom and everyone else!

I started listening to the best show three years ago, around the same time as Scratchbomb tuned in.

I have the show to thank for some of the best laughs I've had in years. It was a catalyst for me volunteering every so often for WFMU, which I wish I could do more often. I've met some of the nicest people, and have made some awesome friends because of the community built around the show. It is even indirectly responsible for me learning to knit (sounds like a stretch but I got witnesses), and because it was on right before Evan's show, turned me into an EFD believer.

The world is a better place for me with the Best Show in it. Tom, thank you so much.

Congrats Tom and Jon!

It's been around 3 years that I've been listening and considering how much of the archives I've listened to I can't even begin to imagine how much TBS show has brightened my mood and days during that time. I've been bringing it to work where I've hooked others, me and my brother talk about it often and I've gotten friends to listen as well. Basically everyone cool in my life is now as big of a Best Show fan as I am.

Here's hoping we can get another 10 great years because things have only been getting better as time has went on.

A finer radio program has never been. Thanks to you, Best Show, I've enjoyed every Tuesday far beyond the expected quotient. I wish you a happy 10 and give you 10 more to grow on!

The Best Show is, quite simply, the best.  I've expressed my adoration for the show many times, on these boards and elsewhere, but I'll always remember how the show, and mp3s of S&W bits, and the FOT boards kept me sane in 2007 and 2008, when I was doing a lot of traveling.  I remember sleeping in a creepy airport hotel outside of PDX airport, not really knowing where I was, but having a particularly great episode with Ted Leo guesting.  It kept me from losing my mind.

As promised in the chat, here's a link with a buncha clips I sent in for the 10 year extravagahnza. I tried to include something from every year, although I don't have anything from 2000 or 2010, and I tried to stay away from bits that from the CDs or Best Show Gems. Also, I chopped down a few of these, thinking they'd need to be in manageable chunks for rebroadcast, so a couple are not at super full length. But hey, here they is:

And since Wes requested "Blueberries for breakfast", here's that gem:

What one man can do, another can do.  It has been a hilariously inspiring 4 years listening to the Show for me.  and I wish Tom & Jon would consider blessing the next ten years of airwaves with something as awesome as The Best Show.  Like say... The Best Show.  Namaste

Here's clips that David from DC compiled:

Tonight was fun.  I've recently moved to a place I am still uncomfortable in, and I found a bit of community and home again by listening to all the lovely recollections and sharing of memories.

And I really needed some Philly Boy Roy!

Here are the clips I sent for use on the show:

I discovered the Best Show three hours ago and hated it immediately

This is my favorite radio program of all time. Knew about the Scharpling & Wurster CDs for ages but caught on to the show proper four years ago, voraciously devoured the archives and am anxiously awaiting more. I really don't have much else to say other than that, but I'm just glad the show's there, you know?

It was Kid Ebay that brought me into the fold ("You don't like the diamond?"). Now I'm hooked. But Tom, you do what you've got to do buddy.

[Pregnant Pause]

I've been a fan of Ted Leo forever; somehow the on air cover of Rock and Roll Dreams'll Come Through ended up on my computer.  For a few months I thought the song was real, one day I decided I wanted to hear the original.  I googled Barry Dworkin, found friendsoftom.com, started listening, and have been hooked since.

Not only is The Best Show one of my favorite things, but it has introduced me to all sorts of great music and comedy I probably wouldn’t have found otherwise. 

Kudos, and kudos again.

Got into the show after buying all the pre-Hippy Justice CDs based on Mark Prindle's reviews. I worked my way through the archives and have been on board since. This whole time, I've been afraid to call in!

I love The Best Show so much, I couldn't possibly name a favorite moment. This cracks me up every time I hear it, though:

Barry Dworkin: "It could be the cool dog that just hangs out at the gas station, or it could be the dog that'll rip your nuts off."

Caller: "That's the dog I thought it was."

Salut to Tom, Jon, Mike, Terre T., and everyone.
