No Monday show this week! I’m putting my Grandpa down after too many accidents on the vestibule rug. There’s only so many times you can bop their nose with a newspaper before you show the other seniors you mean business.
This show was the most fun I've had in a long time. We:
- called hotel front desks to congratulate them on winning a Clerky award plaque and got them to make acceptance speeches and sing the Clerky award theme song.
- called more hotels to declare squatter's rights.
- called bowling alleys to let them know we borrowed pins and balls for a bachelor party
- called a pet store to see if our dog had finished shopping yet, since he was taking longer than usual.
Thanks to:
- @iregretjumping for the show title idea. It's perfect.
- @bray90820 for the Hang Up the Phone clip.
- @icecat for the amazing artwork, you talented bastard.
Word of the day: Belligerent
Hoo boy. Seriously, hope you all has as much fun listening as I did doing this show!
On this show I:
- get a front desk clerk to record themselves granting permission for me to display my oversized Labium Menorah in my car window.
- try to stay in hotels that offer ordinary snow holes for wriggling
- forward my packages to hotels
- try to activate credit cards I found in the hotel parking lot.
- tell hotels that I'm a squeegee guy clearing snow off of cars by pouring hot water on the windshields, but I'm noticing that some vandal must have cracked a bunch of them before it snowed. That was fun.
- get permission for adult wriggling and slithering in the lobby
- and more
Thanks to:
- @criefaux for helping me fix my audio setup
- @Krispy for the show title
- @delinsquent, @gretagarbage and @criefaux for joining for calls
- everyone in chat helping me with ridiculous suggestions
Changing my number, oversharing on my divorce, and getting the recipe on the delicious pies they threw out in the dumpster.
Thanks to @delinquenst for becoming a patreon and @mrsmalls for the show title suggestion!
Quick show to prove I'm still alive and not just an AI.
I call front desks as Dr Lionel Pepsi, letting them know that Frank Katz is on life support and needing their permission as emergency contact to pull the plug.
I also try to scatter Frank Katz's ashes in hotel lobbies and see if I can figure out who dug up the treasure I buried on someone's lawn.
Thanks to @iregretjumping for the show title idea
John doesn't want to be my emergency contact. :( Thanks to @despicabledogs for the hilarious idea!
On the series finale(?) of the milkbox show I call random people to give them the details of my surgery and make some of them my emergency contacts.
Thanks to @natnat, Lesley and @vistablue for joining as patreons!
And thanks to everyone who joined me on this journey so far! I’ll be taking an extended break while I recover from actual surgery but hopefully will be back and healthy and making ridiculous calls before you know it. If not, it’s been quite a run!
I’ll do an unscheduled makeup later this week (probably on thanksgiving).
The great work of the Take-A-Wish Foundation (https://takeawish.org) continues! On this episode we grant dying kids actual wishes, including:
- Calling dentist offices, getting permission for a dying kid to drill patient's teeth.
- Calling a snake rescue, to grant a cancer kid's wish to wrestle in a venomous snake pit.
- Calling ax-throwing facilities, so a cancer kid can get his friends to throw axes at him (thanks @despicabledogs)
- Calling hotels to ask if we can put a handicapped kid in their trash compactor (thanks @omnom!) or launch them out of cannons or have them slalom in their wheelchair through an obstacle death gauntlet
And today's bonus call: Calling hotels and asking a guest to help me set up hospital equipment in the lobby, on behalf of the founder of the Take-A-Wish Foundation, who lives in a bakta tank. (thanks @reaperdiamondt!)
Thanks to:
- mbots for sharing a number
- all my nice meat members
Thanks @dialtrolls
