29 September 2006: American Phone Book Game and Clubbing Mishaps

 

Scott runs the American Phone Book Game featuring people with unfortunate surnames, before moving into a hilarious discussion about accidentally chatting up someone’s mum at a nightclub.

The show opens with the American Phone Book Game, where Scott and the team call Americans with amusingly rude surnames and try to get them to say their names. Among the calls featured are Ginger Bush and Randy Bender, both of whom are reluctant to confirm their names down the phone.

The main conversation centres on Scott’s night out at a club, where he thought he was successfully chatting up a woman at the bar. The situation took an awkward turn when a second woman joined them — and it turned out to be the first woman’s mother. Both were apparently trying to flirt with Scott, leading to an argument between them about who would “stay with him.” Scott was horrified by the whole scenario, particularly the idea of going out clubbing with your parents. The team discusses the phenomenon of straight men going to gay clubs to meet women, since there’s supposedly less competition from other men. There’s also a tangential discussion about whether Scott and a colleague should go to G-A-Y together to test this theory, though Scott denies any previous conversation about it.

The show also touches on celebrity gossip, with speculation about Dustin Diamond (Screech from *Saved by the Bell*) and rumours of a leaked intimate video — discussed in the context of Paris Hilton’s similar scandal and whether such exposure could actually help revive a fading career.
