Host: Adam, Dr. Drew
Listen to theShow
Show Summary:
Show contains: Extra-dumb callers, the dictionary game.
Adam says he hung out with Drew last night and did a little partying. When asked if he got his buzz going, Drew changes the subject and starts talking about his hernia and how he is going to get a procedure done. They discuss the surgery and then get into the argument about how your lungs are inside your body but your throat is outside and how it makes no sense.
When caller Jeremy is talking about his gay roommate, you can hear an ice cream truck in the background.
Adam suggests they get back into gambling on callers.
After having a number of extra-dumb callers, Adam goes off on the phone screeners letting people on the air that can't be communicated with.
Adam proclaims the show is made twice as long by the callers always repeating whatever question Adam or Drew asks them.
After another extra-dumb caller, Adam thinks it is time to play the dictionary game, where they see if a caller can look up a word in the dictionary faster than Drew can. At first he accidently calls it the encyclopedia game but then corrects himself when he realizes Westwood None would never invest in an encyclopedia.
Caller Anthony is an eighth grader who challenges Drew to the dictionary game. When asked if he has a dictionary, he says his mind is his dictionary. The word to look up is "˜pneumatic.' Drew wins. Adam has to yell at the phone screeners again for letting a contestant on who didn't even have a dictionary in front of him.
Drew says when he was in the his car the other morning he heard the weather and traffic guy say that there was a dryer in one of the lanes.
Adam asks Drew to look up the definition of the word boring. Adam then says "hey there's a big glossy picture of Dr. Drew next to the definition!" Anderson chimes in and says that Terra don't call me Tara thought he was being serious and asks if there really was a picture of Drew in the dictionary.
Caller Laura is the next to challenge Drew. She smacks the dictionary against her head for proof, and Drew does the same. The rules are there are three words to be looked up, each separately. Whoever gets two out of three is the champion. When a contestant finds it, they are to state their name then read the definition.
Drew and the girl get on their marks and look up "˜computer.' Laura finds it within five seconds and provides a very long and detailed definition.
Word number two is "˜reconcile.' Once again, Laura finds the word before Drew. Anderson suggests they look up "˜sweep.'
They do one more just to see who gets it. The third and final word is "˜hydrogenated.' Laura is the first to find it once again and is declared champion.
Drew does some great radio and uses the anatomy book to describe something.
Caller Jenny makes no sense at all. When she mentioned her boyfriend had a pass to go home from his boys' home, Adam goes off on how all public bathrooms, especially in commercial buildings require you to go up to the desk and ask the receptionist for a key that is on some sort of a novelty key chain such as a giant tooth.
Caller Jeremy suggests Laura was using her computer to cheat in the dictionary game. Jeremy looked up the three words along with Drew and Laura on his computer and found the exact same definitions that Laura did. Drew with his dictionary and Jeremy with his computer look up the word "˜concubine' and Jeremy finds it first. His definition was very long and detailed while the one Drew found was just a few words. The decide Laura was a cheater and Drew is still the champion.
A caller is named Liesel, like from The Sound of Music.
Adam comments that the All American Rejects bumper sounds like Better than Ezra and that he likes it.
Drew says when they were at the party last night, Adam ran into the bathroom so he could smoke out of a miniature bong and get high.
At the end, they compare this show to a bad baseball game that they are just going to brush off and put behind them.

What’s-her-face the prank caller shows up early in this episode as “Melissa”, the girl who just found out her mom is really her aunt. Very weepy and whispery.
Damn. I swear I only clicked once!
This is a really good episode. It’s like stupid caller after stupid caller. There’s the fake call about a brother walking in on canine oral sex; there’s the Church Group hand job, etc. Good times.
I believe the prank caller chick goes by “Miriam” in later episodes. She is diabolical in a scary/f’d up way. Dictionary challenge is epic – although I suspect that Laura is cheating via online/computer dictionary. She is lightning fast.
On the opposite end of the spectrum – caller Jenny swears she is a smart/capable unwed mother yet does not know what “tentative” means. Her baby daddy situation does not sound optimistic as he is in a boys home and has some kind of pass to see her. Yikes.
UPDATE: Someone else was hip to the fact that Lauren may have cheated. HUZZAH!
Anyone else have this cut out at 18:00 minute mark? I can skip ahead and continue- but it always ends when Adam tells Claire that she’s “keeping up with guys who are doing beer bongs all night.”
yeah it does cut out at 18min. u just have to skip ahead
Uploaded an alternate file, plays fine on here and itunes for me.
Caller Jenny…whooo boy caller Jenny.
Jenny: “Ok, you know how guys always say their penis is gonna get off and they’re gonna commit suicide?”
Drew: “Whhat?”
Jenny: “Their penis is gonna be cut off. If they’re penis is gonna be cut off then they’re gonna commit suicide.”
Drew: “Guys always say that?
Adam goes on to lambast her for using a retarded analogy that just muddles up her whole point. She called because she just had a kid and has lost her sex drive.
Later a guy calls in and says he was listening and playing along with Drew and the girl in the “Find the Word” dictionary contest. He said he had dictionary.com fired up during the competition and all the answers that the girl gave were the exact definitions that he found on dictionary.com, which if you’ve used it before you know their definitions vary slightly from those found in an actual dictionary.
Adam: “You see? This is why the terrorists hate us, because of this sort of foul play.”
This episode starts with some really horrible callers. Picks up with The Dictionary Game…
N od damn I hate Miriam. I hope she got arrested and us in prison for fraud or something
I also blame Miriam for the fact there’s no edit button in the comments section.
In the June show with Interpol where Miriam gets busted, she admits making the first bogus call as Melissa a couple of months prior, so this must be her first call ever to the show.
Wow, it is retard night here on loveline
I don’t think this was Miriam’s first call but she comes across as SUPER DESPERATE to keep talking on the air. Sigh. She wasn’t the only bogus call, though. Other than that, a lot of super dumb callers and cheating during the Dictionary Game.
