Remote Control: San Diego Cinco De Mayo Celebration
Live remotes might be slightly more horrible than Best Ofs, I'm not sure. Get back to me on that.

The show is never on the top of his game for them. I don't know if that's because they don't enjoy them that much, the partying crowd is too distracting, not being in their comfortable 2nd home in the studio, the time difference... Egh, that said, this one had some moments.
Earlier on there was a Bonaduce-Off, since Danny was absent due to his having to attend a funeral in Philly. The guy who won, Doug, was hit-and-miss with his improv and impersonation, but overall you'd have to say he was a lot funnier than most regular people who find themselves on the radio.

So much so that at the end of the show they did a regular segment with him, "Angel Adam, Fake Devil Danny". While overall he wasn't near an approximation of everyone's favorite redheaded Satan, he did come up with a demonic nugget for a man who wanted advice about cheating on his wife--

Fake Danny: Here's what you want to do... I hooked up once with Marcia Brady it was some of the best fun I ever had. I want you to drive up to L.A., find Marcia Brady, take your ring, melt it into a bullet, shoot your wife, and then have a threesome.

Hmm. On second pass if he meant a threesome with his dead wife's corpse, well, move over Satan, there's a new Beezelbub [?] in town.

Clip Reccommendations--
[1] Dave Chappelle And Home Improvement -- Opens with a clip of Dave Chappelle guesting on Crank Yankers posing as a member of the Wu Tang Clan trying to book the posse at this poor old lady's Bed & Breakfast. After that take a listen to the 2nd worst radio bit in morning show history, freakin home improvement questions.

MAYBE I could understand if they did the segment at the very end or start of the show... but always around the morning rush??? My inner program director would've put the kibosh on this months ago. Even Huell Howser falls asleep.

As if that wasn't bad enough....whose bright idea was to whip it out in the middle of a Cinco De Mayo rager??

I hear Bob Villa is doing one of his upcoming shows at a rave.

[2] Ray's Story -- Adam prefaced his buddy's tale by saying it's the most disgusting, degrading, debasing thing you'll ever hear... and I think he might be right. Starts a little ways in after an interview via cellphone craps out to fill time. Concludes here at the beginning of the second news segment.
