I want to stick up and say Miriam is the best fake caller they ever had. Most bogus callers were people who just turned the show on and called in to ramble about nothing — and 80% of the time it was some guy claiming he boned his girlfriend’s mom, or a “my penis is too big to ride a bicycle” type announcement as Adam liked to call it. The no question, powering through a script, time-wasting bogus calls were just annoying. Miriam actually understood the show and responded like a normal caller, withholding information or getting emotional as appropriate. One of her finest moments was when she bickered with Adam about the difference between “having sex with three other people at the same time” and “a foursome,” and in the same call repeatedly referred to her grandfather as “my mother’s birth father” then refused to understand why that was a weird phrase requiring clarification when pressed on it. Those sorts of things are exactly the sort of handball-against-the-curtains stupidity that genuine callers engage in all the time, and Miriam is an acting genius for doing them in her prank persona when no one else ever did.
