Title: A Fat Diseased Wild Orangutan
Post by: team minus zero on July 02, 2008, 02:31:01 PM

Every week in the best show theme i hear jon wurster say "it's a fat diseased wild orangutan isn't it?" can someone link me to when that call aired? i have no idea what he's talking about but it sounds hilarious.

It's in the episode on March 29, 2005, "Tom Gives Voice To The Disenfranchised. An Actor Playing Tom In Philly Boy Roy's Movie Calls. And Someone From The Band 'Crust' Checks In, Trying To Start A 'Crust Space'."

I am not sure where it is in the episode but Wurster is reciting PBR's script with that line included.

Jeffrey Loudell is the caller's name. I think the bit where JW says his name is in the credits also.

Here it is (http://www.wfmu.org/listen.ram?show=14588&archive=19212&starttime=1:55:36&endtime=2:13:29) (the line in question is 10:08 into the call).

I know it's in the Philly Films collection mp3 I have from the Best Show Vault here (http://bestshowvault.blogspot.com/2007/01/philly-films-paul-f-tompkins.html). (One of my favorite S&W things.)

Welcome to The World(s) of Andrew Earles.  That guy has a talent for creating depressing people and images.
