I saw the Paul F. Tompkins Show last night

And I can't wait to call Tom Tuesday night to tell him how much I liked it.

Those calls are the best.

You know what Paul?!  You're absolutely right!!  Paget Brewster was there, too.  Drum roll... she was also extremely classy and top shelf!  Tom has to hear this, on his radio show, as soon as possible!  And the rest of you need this confirmation!






In all truth, this is unironically exactly what I would like to do.

You should do that. I'm going to call in about the time Todd Barry signed a CD for me after a show.

I saw Todd Barry one time too!!  He was amazed to find out there were people in North Carolina who listened to the Best Show - I think I may have introduced him to the idea of the Internet!!@1


PS He was so nice and classy!1!  A perfect gentleman.

I might call about the time I met Jon before a Mountain Goats show. I think I speak for everyone when I say I NEVER get tired of hearing Tom say "Yeah I can't talk about that."

Good idea! I just saw 30 seconds of a Monk rerun - Tom will be excited to hear that it's still on!

I had some hummus today, and I remember that Tom's a vegetarian. I'm sure he'd like to hear about it.

Wow, at this point I think we've filled up the call-in portion of the show.

[amiright??]

So will I get my chance to call in and say that he was really funny in the dudez a plenty skit?

My favourite Paul F. Tompkins moment was in that one thing on Mr. Show where he played Thomas Edison, and he was riding a bicycle, and then he looked off-camera and said, "oh hey," and then rode off. I'd really like to know if he made that up on the spot - do you guys think I should call in the next time he's in studio?

[Boogdish]

I've got a really good anecdote for next show about how John Hodgman gave me a dollar and signed my book after I stood in a long line.  He was very classy about it.

[Mr. Colin]

Is this me posting?

I know this was said in jest, but I almost wish you would.  I love this skit. Tom handled those bagels with such grace and poise.
