Also has Tom said anything about the Mike debacle or is he just sweeping it under the rug?

Look, the day I found out Mike's bar wasn't called "Masses" but instead "Massa's" it made me feel really weird and bad

Massa is a perfectly cromulent Italian surname.

Farscape is actually pretty cool.
I knew a few Italian folks with Massa as a last name back when I lived in NJ but now, as a resident of the American South, I would definitely not walk around with a Massa's Tavern t-shirt.

There’s “hashing out” something and then there’s just acknowledging that it happened. I’m asking about the second one.

They probably aren't 100% sure what they are going to do. Seems pretty up in the air as to whether or not he'll be back. It's all so dumb. Tom telling Mike to knock it off on the air was more than enough. Now if he comes back a small group is going to have a tantrum over it and if he doesn't almost everyone else is going to pissed.

Seems like his life really changed when he and his wife had a miscarriage, he basically disappeared for a few years, I remember an interview where he opened up about it but couldn't for the life of me tell you where it was.

Today on Double Threat, Tom proposes his big comeback musical for Broadway's reopening, "Broadway Stinkers," and it's the hardest I've laughed at anything in a while. Specifically Tom describing how it would begin with him slowly backing out to center stage in a beeping Rascal scooter before yelling "SHUT UP" at the audience and orchestra.

I love his stream of conscious hypothetical stories. There was one while back where he rides a motorcycle out on stage or something that had me dying.

Lol the Toni Toni Tone` song was 100% what toilet mouth was trying to remember, even though he immediately dismissed it. I looked it up and just like whoever spotted it said, it's at the end of the song.

I once took a VO class and the teacher said many VO actors these days get their first jobs narrating audiobooks. After this episode, I'm thoroughly convinced.

As someone who has edited audiobooks briefly I'm even more intrigued by this episode.

He might be involved in production but he hasn't been on air since it came back as far as I'm aware. Tom's addressed or made reference to him a few times though

It was fun to hear Tom talk about basketball on a call recently. It seemed like he generally shut that down when brought up as of late.

Tom seems to be in a good mood lately. Maybe his life in LA is good? There were definitely a few moments in the last show where had Tom been in one of his darker times he would have hung up on a caller but didn’t. I laughed pretty hard when someone called him “brother man” just because you know he doesn’t like that.

you can tell he really loves Double Threat, and he seems pretty engaged with The Best Show. He also retweets stuff from/promoting Terre T, which is interesting given the likelihood that they're separated

I think taking a break really helped. His remote, socially distanced interview version of TBS wasn't really the TBS, and you could tell he was miserable. Seems like he came back because the time was right and he wanted to, not because he felt obligated to, due to patreon or whatever.
