February 18, 2026 CONVINCE TOM! TOM ENDORSES A NEW CANDIDATE FOR 2028! MORE!
Tonight's topic is CONVINCE TOM! Do you know he disagrees with you on something? Anything you need him to see the light of day on? This is the time for the callers to weigh in on sports, music, films, everything! Plus, Tom makes a somewhat surprising presidential endorsement on behalf of himself plus the entire Forever Dog crew (without asking them)! A special new Newbridge Note, a Feff Feuerzeig-inspired Gallagher detour, and some great calls makes for a great Best Show!

January 28, 2026 LIVE MUSIC FROM TROPICAL F*** STORM! DAN EBERLE! NATHAN GELGUD! GRANITE TOUGHMAN IN STRONGBRIDGE!
Australian rock band TROPICAL F*** STORM comes through and plays a ripping set in the Best Show Theater! They chat with Tom about their band, Australia and more! Actor BEN EBERLE from The Food That Built America talks with Tom about playing Ray Kroc, Tom's favorite new clip from the show, and much else! AP Mike is sick, so of course, Tom asks him to re-record some of his most iconic lines for the sound collage board. Tom's frenemy NATHAN GELGUD returns to the show to inevitably get a rise out of both Tom and YOU, the Best Show Listener! Open Phone Tuesdays, with a heartfelt update from Mike in Minneapolis, callers both familiar and new. All in all, a truly great show!
