Solid epi: A girl with the pot laugh calls around minute 30 (rare! at least from a chick). Some cranberry sauce talk and a very interesting caller “Landon” that had a loss of an ear due to a birth defect and had a prosthetic one made by the “Master of Disguise” of the C.I.A. Obviously Drew/Adam jump all over this and it sounds too intricate to be bogus.
The Landon call is one of the more interesting bogus calls I can think of. It’s almost a “too-weird-to-be-bogus” story, but he makes a fatal error when Adam and Drew ask what’s up with him: “I have a b-b-b-b-birth defect.” He doesn’t stutter at any other point in the conversation, and the supposed birth defect has nothing to do with stuttering. A clear case of laying it on too thick.
Still very interesting. I bet Landon’s a weird, weird kid, not a great fabulist, and believes some of what he’s saying.
??? because he doesn’t stutter again he’s bogus?
God, Adam’s rant about the lack of bullet train at 0:36:50 is great. Starts off like a typical rant, then just builds and builds until he’s screaming. It includes a bunch of reasons why he hates California.
What starts out as a complaint about Southwest Airlines devolves into a fantastic rant about the hell-scape that is California. Good times!
I’m only going to weigh in on this once but I concur that the Landon call is bogus. Some good original bogus material & perhaps in part schemed from Die Hard 3.
WHERES MY BULLET TRAIN?!!
Better episode than 4 stars, i’d give it a 4.2
Rants: Left turn arrows, SouthWest, Bullet train, Tips, stupid people, etc.
Adam tells a screwball female caller with a kid that she should give it up for adoption and let it be raised by a wooden cigar store Indian, so it’ll have a chance at a normal life.
This isn’t the first time he’s suggested this, and he has other unconventional ideas as well. Among my favorites are putting the baby in a basket and setting it adrift down a river, so it can wash up on shore miles away and be raised by a family of wolves, and putting it in a basket, tying a bunch of helium balloons to it and letting the baby just float away. Wherever it randomly lands it will have a better chance than it does now with the current parent(s).
Kid named Landon calls in who was born without a right ear. He can only hear out of the left ear, as skin has grown over the inner ear on the right. He has no middle or outer ear. His equilibrium is screwed up and he can’t localize sound. Adam asks if he just grows his hair long to hide it and Landon says he actually had a prosthetic ear made for him by the chief of disguises of the CIA. Adam tells him that when girls asks, he should just say he lost the ear in a knife fight, or that he didn’t pay off a bookie in time, or that it was a mafia thing, or he was in Afghanistan.
Adam: “The rebels would collect ears as trophies and after a firefight when your whole battalion was wiped out, and you were overrun by these rebels you covered yourself in blood and body parts…*Drew cuts him off*
Drew: “No no..*Adam cuts him off right back*
Adam: “Shush up! SHUSH UP! No, yeah, no quiet. Yeah. You cover yourself in blood and body parts as your only chance of…and don’t worry, you mowed down 70 or 80 of them and when they came to claim your ear, it took all the fortitude you had to not cry out as they were cutting it off with a bowie knife.”
They ask how he knows the CIA guy. The kid says he’s retired from the CIA and now runs his own business creating disguises and prosthetics. The ear is made of silicone and it clips on to a gold implant that they gave him.
Mig and Pasta, I’m not so sure it’s bogus. If it is, the kid did his homework. I agree that the random stutter (and the fact that it’s the only time he stutters during the entire call) was odd, but he seems to know what he’s talking about. He doesn’t just set the premise and then agree with any questions the guys ask; he offers most of the information. He says he doesn’t have a middle or outer ear, just an inner ear, but can’t hear because skin has grown over it. He doesn’t just say “yes” when Adam asks if his equilibrium is screwed up, he also offers that he can’t localize sound. As FRUIT in the middle already said, it sounds to intricate to be bogus.
Now, it doesn’t take a genius to come up with the stuff he did, but if he is bogus, he immediately bolts to the top 1 percent of callers on this show as far as intelligence is concerned. Most of these mouth breathing bumpkins can’t even put together complete sentences or remember to figure out the math on their fake age before calling the show, let alone adlib coherent answers on the fly. Give Landon credit for the effort.
riffs on Joe Jackson in the beginning of the show, calls him a mix between Little Richard and the Joker hahaha
yes, adam. racial segregation and rosa parks’ civil disobedience is exactly the same as you making left turns without an arrow. you have been equally as burdened as the black community in not being able to turn left without an arrow. bravo on the brilliant analogy.
Hes a comedian dude.
Adam has an important question for all the fat cats in Washington 36:49
“ wow it’s heading into prime time Drew”
