The Smiths? Are you fucking kidding me? The Smiths are actually touring?? Wow… I’d kill to see that tour! Well, maybe not kill, but I would absolutely steal the ticket off that kid’s drunken ass and go!
Technically, it’s not funny what happened, but I laughed hysterically at this conversation. Perfect way to start my day!!
This phone call is one of my biggesst fears when Son2 goes off to the mosh pits! Thank God he waits until after the shows to drink! Then he comes home and hits the club down the street-WALKING!
Seriously, was the dad really like that? Asshole!
LMAO @ Dave2’s comment!
Dave- Unfortunately, it wasn’t really The Smiths… although I did see Morrissey last month during a 10 show engagement at the Hammerstein Ballroom. Sadly, he never sold out a night and the vast majority of the people there had flown in from England for it. Had it actually been The Smiths, I would have just rolled the kid into the gutter so I wouldn’t miss the show.
Janda- While its not a laughing matter… yeah… we were laughing about it all night.
Metalmom- Yes, he really was like that. The fact he continually thought it was a prank and that I was a radio DJ was the kicker. One thing about it though, he was a state away since this was a big bridge and tunnel crowd show…

That was pretty funny despite the circumstances. You must encounter a lot of idiots with your job.
Life is not a movie. Good guys lose, everybody lies, and love… does not conquer all.
That story does sound super redonk, I think I would have maybe thought you were pranking me too. :D
Poor dad must not have been able to wrap his mind around the fact that his kids engaged in underaged drinking.
So, did he ever show up?
Robin- Unfortunately I encounter tons.
Poppy- But would you have asked me if I was Scary Jones???
Avi- Not sure about the funnest part… but its one of the better moments for sure.
Christie- Who ever said blood was thicker than water never took the effects of vodka into account.
Lynda- I honestly don’t know… we don’t stick around for that although when we’ve brought a second patient in we sometimes see the “reunion”. Good times, good times I tell you.

I can only imagine the in-breds you deal with on a daily basis.
It is kinda funny though.
Way to look out for the younger sib, bro! There’s a Monty Python skit in there, I just know it.
lol.
I really wish I could make phone calls like that. My line of work though is usually what happened to the 16 year old kid after he was drinking and driving.
LisaB- You would think there are enough people in the city that you could find someone OTHER than your next of kin to go home with, right?
Mutt Royalty- The inbreeding here knows no bounds.
Kelly- Yeah, that’s a real brotherly bond right there… makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.
Miss Britt- I thought it was Supreme Emporess of the Universe In Exile???
Golfwidow- Time to change professions. But I wouldn’t recommend mine either… those types of calls are few and far between… but they can be real winners.
Girl in CA- I don’t make those calls… that’s what partners are for.

No, but only because I’ve never even heard of Scary Jones before today.
Poppy- See that… you met someone new! Your so popular!
Miss Britt- Is that 2AM Eastern time, Central time, or Daylight Savings time??? It matters dontcha know.

I would also try to get wasted to the point of losing consciousness if I had to see the Smiths. Just saying.
Oh, wait, I just read your comment, saying that you like them. Then forget I said anything.
Their drummer wanted to try out for our band in England (10 years ago? Something like that), but we all thought it would be too weird. So we got a crazy coke-head instead. I think it made sense at the time.
And why don’t we have the recording available? I think maybe you could do a Cereal Wednesday but use the phone call as the background dub.
Please do so.
Miss Britt- You’re like a corporate monger… all international and stuff.
PITS- Crazy cokeheads were very 90’s. Drummers from bands becoming frontmen in new bands only became apparent in the 00s, so its understandable.
Whall- Unfortunately there are federal guidelines against that… some crap about patient privacy and the such… which is why all the names (including the band’s name) had to be changed… except for Scary Jones, who is a real DJ sidekick.
Poppy- There’s a difference between innocence and naivety. I vote for innocently friendly.

Are you sure that wasn’t in NH, because that sure does sound like a conversation with the parents I deal with every day.
