One Hundred Callers

"We attempted to get 100 callers in a single episode! I forget why we did this. I remember that I fucked up the structure of this whole shebang. But Phil rocked it hard and it was a fun one anyway. With Applejackzzzzz! The second appearance of future music booker Zane Van Dusen! I LOVE watching the dancing during this episode. As the show's audience has gotten bigger that's become something that has slipped! We also wrapped up the weight loss challenge this episode!" - Chris, from the YouTube description

Synopsis[]

Chris admits that this bit is mathematically impossible, but states his determination to take 100 calls over the course of the hour.

Although Chris tries his best to power through the calls, technical difficulties and The LLC's intentional musical interludes slow down the process.

While attempting to reach the goal, the panel discusses the results of the Weight Loss Challenge (which began during The Physical Fitness Episode.) Out of the five entrants -- Jesse, Dru, Bethany, Murf, and Shannon -- only Shannon took it to the extreme, going so far as to challenge people to kickbox with her in the Union Square Holiday Market.

However, Dru is the winner of the Weight Loss Challenge.

Chris only gets to 54 calls; he ends the show in his underwear leading a sing-along of The Ramones' "Merry Christmas (I Don't Wanna Fight Tonight), as performed by The LLC.

After the show, Chris plugs The Spirit of Gethard.

Quotes[]

Chris: If you're from New Jersey, why do you have a Southern accent?

Chris: Did the phones break on the One Hundred Calls night? ...This is Patrick Cotnoir's fault.

Chris: Dru, you're just standing there eating candy. You're one of the guys who helps run this show! Should you be figuring out what's going on the phones? Dru: No, I'm gonna eat this candy.

Chris: If anyone knows where Random Andrew lives, his door's unlocked! Murf: And his mom's awake!
Shannon (from the video): Even if we all fight each other, we can teach each other to fight better. And then by the end, we'll all be great fighters, and every fight we have will be worth it. We learn from each other how to fight better, how to hurt each other more precisely. I think that's what the world needs.

Notes[]

This is the first episode to incorporate Skype calling, a feature which would become a staple of the show later on in the MNN run and during the Fusion seasons.

This is future music booker Zane Van Dusen's second appearance on the show. His first on-screen appearance was The Physical Fitness Episode with The Toys And Tiny Instruments.

This is Random Jean's first on-screen appearance since Goodbye Random Jean, when she had traveled out to California.

This is the first time Andres from Massachusetts would appear on the show, despite trying to call in a few episodes earlier in the series.

This episode marks the first time that two Randoms speak to each other on the panel.
