In order to compete in a sea of cliche, gimmicky shows, Tom needs your help! What dumb gimmick can he start doing for The Best Show? Animal sidekicks, aliens, food... Callers galore chime in on all of the new ideas! Detours include trying to get Spiro a date (who hopefully likes his Opie & Anthony shirt), Mushroom Mike's strong opinions about Transcendental Meditation, a caller passes the psycopath test, Mary talks Philly sports mascots, and more!
