There's a listening party here for the final episode but I'm not sure about going. I only have like two IRL friends who are into Best Show and neither of them seem very interested in the party, and a bar is probably not ideal listening conditions. Though the communal aspect could be cool?

Communal aspect would be great fun, & you can listen to the podcast later if you worry you missed something

I KNEW Dr. Morbius was Spike!
HOLY SHIT
― Allen (etaeoe), Thursday, 12 December 2013 19:34 (twelve years ago)

― Iago Galdston, Thursday, 12 December 2013 20:27 (twelve years ago)

I heard that they're the same person but I also heard that we're goddamn idiots so I don't even know what to believe anymore

Wurster's on a live WTF episode up today.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Monday, 16 December 2013 18:19 (twelve years ago)
Nice, will check that. Fogelnest files also had a great best show special last week.
― dsb, Monday, 16 December 2013 18:26 (twelve years ago)
The WTF ep was mostly about his drumming which was weird since the end of the Best Show was obviously the impetus for having him on. The Fogelnest Files episode was great.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Monday, 16 December 2013 18:42 (twelve years ago)
The end of the Best Show wasn't announced until months after that episode was taped - he's usually wayyyy behind on the live eps.
― giant faps are what you take, wanking on the moon (sic), Monday, 16 December 2013 18:56 (twelve years ago)
Oh well then I guess it was just the impetus for him finally getting the episode up.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Monday, 16 December 2013 18:58 (twelve years ago)
That Fogelnest Files episode was cheap fun-- I'm totally OK to listen to two dudes just run through favorite Best Show clips for an hour. FWIW the Fogelnest Files with Gary the Squirrel and Andy Kindler is A++, basically just Gary ragging on Jake and Andy rather than Mike.

wait a second, I just figured out who this Spike persona is -- that guy has been phoning NYC radio shows for at least 30 years. He's still not me.
My voice is not queeny, either.

My theory now is that Dr Morbs is Fred from Honolulu....getting warmer?
― Iago Galdston, Monday, 16 December 2013 19:43 (twelve years ago)
I wonder how the final episode will go down. Tom has seemed pretty uncomfortable with the eulogizing in recent shows, and lots of regulars have already said their goodbyes. I'm sad to see it go - but it feels like time.

Spike/Morb, @LaurieFromMiami, Philly Boy Roy, …
― Allen (etaeoe), Monday, 16 December 2013 23:29 (twelve years ago)
Trying to catch up through the last few weeks before tomorrow; happy to hear Fredricks call in, a little bummed that we'll probably never hear from him again and the last thing he was talking about were "frequencies." :/
― Call me Shitmael (CompuPost), Tuesday, 17 December 2013 00:23 (twelve years ago)
Really doubt Spike will be on the last show, I think he missed his chance. My guess is no calls at all, don't think Tom wants to risk additional eulogizing. Maybe even just three hours of Scharpling and Wurster wrapping up Newbridge.
― Immediate Follower (NA), Tuesday, 17 December 2013 01:45 (twelve years ago)
think Paul F Tompkins will call in?
