Dreams for the Final Wurster Call

[Mr. Spacely]

Would love for Jon to call in as "himself," and announce he's moving to Newbridge. And then we slowly find out this version of Jon Wurster is, of course, complete human garbage.

Also would love to finally hear from other Scharpling Family Members (John, Shawn, Danny, and Lon) as well as the great Roy, Jr.

Addendum, 11/1/13: The more I think about the End of the Best Show, the more I'm bothered by the idea that Newbridge could possibly be destroyed in these final calls. I'd like to officially go on the meaningless-record as saying that it is my solemn hope the Best Show ends with Newbridge being perfectly fine (well, "fine" in its own, sick way) and chugging along in whatever alternate dimension it resides. This is because I care (again, in a kind of sick way) about all its fake denizens, but also because I really, really, REALLY hope that Tom & Jon continue making comedy, and Newbridge-centered comedy at that, whether in the form of a TV show or book, or more albums or some new, stripped-down "Tom Show" podcast that Tom starts in the future.

Mother 13 reunion (may just be Corey Harris accompanied by a couple of Gas Station Dogs and a bored Skystalker)

It should either be less than 10 seconds long or take up the whole three hours, I'm not sure which.

Weird. I have been envisioning exactly the same thing for many years. Which of course means that is not what will happen.

yea, either one of these would work

I have have written fanfiction about my ideal final twenty seconds.

Hot Rockin’ Ronnie pushes Tom Scharpling out of his chair. The night is December 17th. No, now it’s the 18th. With Tom on the floor making sounds of pain, Ronnie takes the microphone, “This has been Hot Rockin’ Ronnie gettin’ Hot Rockin’. Tuesday is now Wednesday, and I don’t WANNA go, but I GOTTA go. Stay tuned for Solid Gold Hell with Sue P.”

While the Best Show as we know it is ending I take comfort in the belief that Newbridge will go on even though we won't hear about it. 

[Topher]

I'm hoping for something like the Mayubenatorial Debate, or the call from the future that updated everyone's life.

Or a call from Bryce that reveals that Newbridge was just a bong-clouded dream he had while listening to the Mothers play Jazz Fart at Red Rocks (1983).

[Mr. Spacely]

I love the Hot Rocking Ronnie idea.

I actually think the final may not be so final, as I fully expect (i.e. pray for!) them to continue Newbridge on into the future in some way.

[gravy boat]

I hope the last part of the last show includes an in-person visit by Carl to disconnect Tom's voice modulator for the final time.

Re: VM idea

Fantastic.

I sincerely hope to hear from Hammerhead at least once more.

[Mr. Spacely]

Hammerhead = Len Ploppleton = Darren's older brother; Darren = Tom's best friend. So...it's possible!

I always pictured Jon calling in as himself as well, and talking about Superchunk and saying he how has been hearing about the show for a while so he figured he'd check it out. Then, of course, it turns out he is human garbage.
