Thanks Tom!

[Buddy_Bradley]

With the show ending, I'd like to share my sincere appreciation and thanks to Tom.

A buddy of mine, who can usually be trusted to recommend whatever is top-shelf when it comes to music, movies, and popular culture of all kinds, turned me on the best show around four years ago, and I've been a devoted listener ever since. 

To me, the Best Show's comedy is all about sincerity and true creativity, and disdain for cheap vulgar humor, BS of all kinds, and cynicism.  We won't see its like again soon.

Thanks to Jon Wurster and Tom for so many flat out hilarious moments.  The episode where Ron Scharpling calls into to complain about Tom ruining Christmas and to talk about his new venture (Edison Sound Recordings), just about caused me to wreck my car. 

Thanks for the best full-on, belly laughs I've enjoyed in the last couple years.

Good luck to Tom in whatever venture he embarks on next.

-a huge fan of the best show

Sorry to bump an old thread, but:

In the eleventh grade I was in a play at my high school. I didn't have any business being in it, the English teacher/play director sort of liked me as a student, and she cast me, and I had no experience doing it, and I had no friends in the play with me, but I did it because if I didn't, I would've gone home and been alone for three plus hours doing nothing.

Every day for two months or so after rehearsal, I was the last one there. The last one to be picked up because my mom was at work until 5pm, and she usually wouldn't pick me up until around 6. These rehearsals would end around 4:30 too. I had so many hour and a halves to burn during those months. I listened to most WTF episodes the summer before, the same summer I first heard the Best Show, so I began cracking into the Gems. During those few months for those hours each school day I'd listen to Tom, and Jon, and I listened to every Gem episode multiple times. And laughing harder and harder each time as I learnt more about the things being referenced.  Although most of doing that play was a miserable time for me, I don't regret doing it because of the time spent with the Best Show.

I only bring this up now because I was reminded of it when I re listened to the third from last episode with Patton Oswalt and Julie Klausner because Julie at one point said the name of the play: Noises Off.

So thank you, Julie.
And thank you Tom.
