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**.
It really

Is the best show. The quality that we should all strive for. If this doesn’t make you feel better, just go to bed.
