We don’t have so much of a rivalry, but I still shoulda called in to this very special Chris Gethard Show featuring Tom Scharpling as the mediator.

thechrisgethardshow:

TCGS #20 - SIBLING RIVALRY
Tom Scharpling, host of the Best Show on WFMU, has agreed to appear on The Chris Gethard Show, with the special request that Gregg Gethard, Chris’s brother and a regular caller of The Best Show, appear as well. After Chris explained to Tom that he and Gregg have a sometimes tense relationship, Tom offered to provide them with free untrained family counseling - and the Sibling Rivalry episode was born. Besides Chris and Gregg, Tom works his wares on Eliot and Ilana Glazer, Kevin and Will Hines, and Banana Man and Banana Girl. On top of that, two Spider-Men fight with bats, the five year old calls the show again, and Brick and Mortar bring the heat with their musical performance!

That Is All Starring John Hodgman and everyone else. Directed by the untouchable Tom Scharpling, & produced by Hatch & Puloma. Having The Midas Touch must be such a bummer.

Gene Simmons from KISS collaborates with Rob Delaney Had an awesome night in Chapel Hill last night. Rob’s show featured Mac from Superchunk who also featured John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats, Jon Wurster as Gene Simmons, and a great set from Rob. Jeph and I also had the pleasure of meeting ayeshamus & kin, whom were totally delightful. It was a total fontasy.

Experiencing AntoniosWill and Nina were the best hosts and took me to Antonios, whose namesake they lovingly described as Mexican John Waters. A delicious and wonderfully entertaining meal was had by all, and I finally met the only dog followed by John Hodgman on twitter.
