The sustained roasting by Gilbert about Tom's very recent job loss was incredible. Nobody rubs salt and lemon juice into a fresh, open wound quite like Gilbert. Tom took it like a champ.

Tom Scharpling, fresh off of getting fired from the HBO show "Divorce" got stood up by the Replacements' Tommy Stinson about 40 minutes into the show and, with the help of Jon Wurster calling in as "Replacements Steve", turned the next three hours of "The Best Show" into a glorious, hilarious classic Tom grump-fest.

I wonder if she'll use both of her facial expressions or just the one?

I'm hoping this isn't a one-off.

I'm listening to this episode right now. It's delightful. Finally the AV Club likes something that I want them to like.

And here I thought that the perfect shower beer pretty much just had to be cold.

I fully expected "Tom Can't Complain" to be on this list.
Nothing happened to The Best Show. Something happened to Podmass. I think I'm done with Podmass.

GET OFF MY DISQUS

Podmass forgot about Tom. If he were on Gimlet or Earwolf he'd be here every week.

I wax my own nose hair. I'm a 45 year old guy who refuses to look like a Hobbit. Doesn't hurt at all. Not even going to attempt waxing any other part of my body.

Pedantry time!
"A Ass Pocket of Whiskey", not "A Ass Pocket Full of Whiskey". And yes, it was excellent.

I think I've listened to the last ten minutes of the most recent Best Show six or eight times and I was in stitches every time. It just got more and more absurd.

Woody Allen: "It's me…."

My brain automatically inserted the sounds of Tom Scharpling and Paul F. Tompkins making fun of this shitshow.

Just my opinion but I don't think it's fair to compare Bon Scott AC/DC to Brian Johnson AC/DC. The band itself got a little more bluesy and sounded quite different when they hired Johnson. I think I slightly prefer the Brian Johnson version of this band. With Axl Rose the band simply hired a temp to stay in business a…

This is kind of like when your mom tried to get everyone to eat healthier and gave you something with carob in it and said "it tastes just like chocolate!"
No. No it doesn't.

I already posted this but it was marked as spam and disappeared, so I'll take this as an opportunity to have a do-over. I'm a real guy with a real opinion and nothing to sell, I promise.

Tompressions. Holden's was, as the kids say, savage.

That noise he made when the segment was finally over cannot be described using standard English vocabulary.

I'm listening to it right now. It's like eavesdropping on two soccer moms talking over a smoothie at a Whole Foods after yoga class. Unless concert tour and Dave Coulier stories start getting told real quick, I don't think we're going to see this featured on Podmass anytime soon.
