TONIGHT: TOM VERSUS GOOGLE! THE CONCLUSION OF NODUDEVEMBER!
![]() |
If you haven’t heard, last week Google straight up stole the long-running anthem“Come On Y’All It’s Time To Have Fun” for some garbage commercial. And we are not going to take this lying down!
Tonight I will be looking for your legal advice. If you are a lawyer and can advise me on how to proceed, call up!
But you’re saying “but it’s NoDudeVember! I’m a dude and I’ve got legal advice for you, Tom!”. You are going to be allowed to talk on the show as long as you’ve got good advice. If you don’t, you’re on the scrap heap, buster!
But outside of being a legal expert, NoDudeVember continues! No dudes are allowed to call! Dudes can participate in the hit mini-show @AtBestShow, which is happening sometime in the program! The topic for that will be #AnimalComedians, so get your Petting Oswalt or JulieMouseNer puns ready!
We can also talk about Thanksgiving if you want. If you don’t, let’s not. No skin off my nose.
The hashtag for tonight is #NoDudeVember! Use it!
Call 201-332-3484 BUT ONLY IF YOU ARE NOT A DUDE WHO CAN GIVE ME LEGAL ADVICE!!
When is The Best Show on? From 9PM-midnight EST every Tuesday! You can listen live at TheBestShow.net and if you can't listen live you can download tonight’s episodeWednesday morning at the website or on iTunes or your RSS feed or wherever!
