    Ah man I get that IRS scam all the time. Don't think with that particular voice guy though.

     

    Also a stupid one that says they're calling from Microsoft and that my computer is infected with a virus and if I follow their instructions, they'll clean it (when actually it's a scam and they're trying to take over my computer by me going to a website address). I like getting that call, if I have time, I string them along for a while, mindlessly telling them weird things (like my computer screen is turning orange, please hold on) until eventually asking why they like to scam people and if they sleep well at night. They get upset and defensive and I tell them they're obviously lying, because I have a Mac and don't even use Microsoft. Then they get mad at me and usually swear at me, and I laugh for having successfully kept them away from scamming other people.

     

    Anyway I too wish I could hear Matt handle these idiots!

    My favorite part of these, and it may also extend to Mike's other characters and not just Lennon, is when his co-improvisers are somewhat dumbstruck by his crazy Lennon-y logic. :lol: I've noticed it with Aukerman and Lauren on the live shows and Mary here definitely had a few moments of 'wtf'. They all roll with it because they're awesome, but you can tell he confounds them for a brief moment.

     

    Great show, thanks Howl for getting it going!

    I have a lot of thoughts, but don't feel like getting in a back-and-forth with someone defending all child abuse as fatherly hugs or a teaching lesson (what is this, the #notallabusers argument? GTFO).

     

    But quickly, I do agree with Becky above that the world isn't "full of black and white absolutes" and ironically, I think that was the very point I gleaned from this caller (and Chris too). Sometimes someone you trust and love can do something horrible and it's difficult to come to terms with. That's the opposite of black and white to me.

     

    Terrific episode and listen, Chris. Thanks, anonymous beautiful caller.

     

    (PS. as a lawyer, I'll add that yea, a 25-year sentence definitely does imply something particularly awful.)

    This month was really fun, having CBB eps to grab every afternoon. Howl.fm more than paid for itself before this, but now I'm especially glad to be a member.

     

    Scott, Lauren, Paul, Neil and Mike -- thanks for all the entertainment! It was fun to follow along with you every day (here and on Snapchat haha).

     

    And to whoever were the engineers and behind-the-scenes types that helped get the shows done and up for us, thanks too!

    I have a lot of thoughts about this, as a fan of outsider music (and insider music too). (I LOVE Jandek.) But the fact is, you can't compare outsider to insider and that's where his logic falls apart. It's entirely different ballgames. Want to be Tom Petty? You don't write 70 albums about poop. But if you do write 70 albums about poop, there is a game for you -- and he proves it. He shouldn't be unhappy about that. Know your lane.
