Sorry about that.

:/

I assure you, you're not missing anything. This Hour Has 22 Minutes is very occasionally funny, but that sketch was pretty rough. TBSOWFMU ripoff or not, that stunk.

What Scharpling/Fogelnest dust-up?

Sorry, that was imprecise, it's more like he's making references to Fogelnest (who I never heard of except he profiled TS and Jon Wurster in Spin?) on Twitter like calling him out and it sounds like bad blood.

I am 97.4% sure they are joking. The lines are too good otherwise. Scharpling: "Bobby Slayton might be "the pit bull of comedy" but @jakefogelnest is the Pitbull of comedy. "

I know Dave's the math guy here, but I'd even put that number up at 100%. Tom and Jake do that kinda stuff on Twitter all the time, you probably just don't usually see it because you're not following both of them. They're pals.

We are friends. I love Jake. In all seriousness he's one of my favorite people and a truly hilarious guy who I also hold a lot of admiration for as a person.

Please don't tell him I wrote this or I'll never hear the end of it.

Tom.

Not sure about other people ripping off The Best Show but i have heard similar bits that Tom does from other shows. The only one i can think of off the top of my head is the Kiss meets the Phantom of the Park segment Tom did.

The Tom hanging up on people before they get to finish is probably not Tom ripping off other people but just a classic standard thing ive heard on many other radio shows.


The "get off my phone" thing is just more of an homage too.

I guess i was wrong,  being that their are just some tv shows, movies, etc.,  and things that are in the cultural lexicon at certain times, their are also some shows besides Tom's that go by the theory "everybody's already talking about it" so why give it more attention.

Maybe its just me, but the announcer's voice and delivery in these Verizon FIOS commercials ("the moment where you GET IT"), sounds a lot like Tom.

Isn't Jake on here from time to time? 

He posts in lots of colors, and scrolling text, and calls everyone "pet"... at least I think that's him.

Wawa is a real store.

I laughed out loud the first time I saw one.  Was the store named by an infant?

I think Curtis Mayfield started the chain.
