    Idiot named Troy calls near the end of the show and can’t just get to his goddamn question without going off on tangents and sidebars and regurgitating half-baked pseudo wisdom that he’s heard throughout his life.

    He starts the call talking about being on a low dose of Klonopin then interrupts himself to add that he’s an “Alltimers Expert.” Clearly he means Alzheimer’s. Call it semantics if you must but I think the first step to being an expert in something should at the very least be the ability to correctly pronounce whatever it is you claim to be an expert in.

    He continues by saying “here’s the question” but then rambles on about how he’s been in a relationship for 4 years, and the woman has a son “with a father” and “then I got out of the medical industry and became an underwater welder for a company here in Portland, Oregon and I also work in Alaska.”

    Then he switches gears–not having made any sense yet–to tell a story about getting screwed over by a lady who just moved out of his apartment, left him with nothing, and took all his furniture. “I didn’t hear from her for 4 months, finally she calls up, and I’m really close with her grandmother, I’m also a landscaper and I build ponds.” That was one sentence.

    At this point Adam cuts him off and says “had to take that last call didn’t you Drew? Had to squeeze in that last one. We could’ve been doing that swords thing at the Urinal right now.” Adam tells him he’s running the show into the ground and they have to take a break. “Here’s what I want you to do. Figure out what the question is, and when we come back I want you to just hit us with it.” We come back from break after giving Troy time to collect his thoughts and channel them into a coherent question and……..

    “It all basically boils down to this. The lady that I broke up with…or she left me let’s put it that way, just bailed out….took my furniture did the whole police thing, I didn’t have the courage to do a civil suit cuz I love her that much not to do that and I make enough money to not have to worry about Ethan Allen and all that crap it doesn’t really matter to me it’s only material you don’t take it when you go……”

    Mercifully, Adam cuts the rambling idiot off and tells him to quit with the sidebars and half-baked welders philosophy.

    “Okay, she’s calling on my pager and I have a secretarial number you can reach me and she doesn’t use that, and she’s calling me on the pager and she’s playing these songs and saying that she loves me and I think it’s the real thing and I care about the child and I accept it at it is. And the kid runs up to me and hugs me with a death grip like I’m Christmas it was a really extreme thing and she started crying and I paid her $500 she owed some money I got her out of debt……”

    Adam cuts him off again and asks why he wants to stay with a crazy chick. He says….

    “I’ll tell you why. She’s plain as day and I’ve modeled for Elaine Ford I’ve done a lot of things for Men’s Health Magazine and I just, it’s just a soulmate, it’s something that you can’t explain you just have to be in that position to do it.” The stuff about the modeling. I mean, wtf did that have to do with anything?

    They cut him off again and tell him soulmates don’t steal furniture.

    This was one of the most bizarre, rambling self-absorbed callers I’ve ever heard call the show. For how nuts he is, they really let him off the hook and go easy on him. They don’t even try to figure out why he’s so detached from reality.
