The finest of chump-steamrolling.

Anyone who gives this show a negative review is just another chump for the steamroller.
Losing Interest…

This show was bedrock for me, 2005-2020, but the change in format in the LA phase has made it more of a variety show with interviews and live music doesn’t always work. There are way more people involved than in the Jersey days, and Tom can seem a bit tyrannical when transitions don’t go smoothly. (Also, the “Semi-weekly” shows seems to mean “quasi-weekly,” as there can be LONG gaps between Tues shows.)
The Best!!!

Matt Ess

The Best Show with Tom Scharpling is a radio program/podcast with topics to call into as well as hilarious characters from Jon Wurster. Also, there’s a crew of folks who work for Tom to produce the show. The Best Show lives up to its name. Mirth, Music, and Mayhem is what you get.
It’d be great if not for the host

Tom Scharpling describes himself as a “comedian” but all I’ve ever heard him do is say annoying opinions in a whiny, unlistenable voice. Unfunny and boring. Jon Wurster should start his own podcast and let that hack just disappear further up his own a**.
