TONIGHT: WEEK THREE OF NoDudeVember! LET’S GET THANKFUL! AND I WILL DONATE MONEY TO THE FOOD BANK IF YOU GET AN ACTUAL FAMOUS PERSON TO CALL IN!

unnamedHey! We’re back again, trying to keep the ridiculous Best Show hot streak alive! Right now there isn’t a podcast on the planet that touches what we’re doing. Our worst is better than their best. But we all know that, right? Let’s explain what’s going on tonight!

Firstly, NoDudeVember is still going strong! That means that only non-dudes can call in! Sorry, dudes! Talk to me on Twitter! Or email me! But just ice yourself if you’re looking to call!

Tonight we are going to all try to collectively recalibrate ourselves and figure out THE THINGS THAT WE ARE THANKFUL FOR. That’s right, Thanksgiving can be about more than family horror and food, so let’s talk about the things we are lucky to have in our life! We’ve got a lot of work to do so let’s get our houses in order!

And if you are an ACTUAL REAL FAMOUS PERSON or can stick the phone in the hand of an ACTUAL REAL FAMOUS PERSON and get them to talk on the show for a few minutes, I will donate money to the Community Food Bank of New Jersey. The amount will be based on the quality of the celebrity!

And we will hear from AP Mike on his pro wrestling managerial debut this pastFriday! I don’t know the story yet so I CANNOT WAIT.

You can call in at 201-332-3484.

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’sepisode Wednesday morning at the website or on iTunes or your RSS feed orwherever!

THE ORDER OF THINGS 2016

It’s been a long-time topic on The Best Show over the years. Every once in awhile we take a step back and we rank EVERYTHING from best to worst. In past years nothing topped a row of ducks crossing the street and stopping traffic. This year it might be something different, although ducks crossing the street still sounds pretty strong.

We will get to the bottom of it tonight!

And there are a million other things we’re gonna talk about too! And I will be joined by the incredible artist J PENRY and fashion superstar JUDI ROSEN! It’s gonna be fun!

And we’re keeping THE DREYFUSS 100 alive! One hundred bucks to the charity of Richard Dreyfuss’s choice if he calls in for five minutes!

The on-air number is 201-332-3484 to get in on the action!

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’sepisode Wednesday morning at the website or on iTunes or your RSS feed orwherever!

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!
