CORN DOWN Prank Calls
Prank calls from a weekly live show, with an attempt at original ideas and premises. Hosted by dragonmere and featuring wastedmemory.
The CORNDOWN pt 324: with Greg Lee as Handyman Rick
I really don’t have a great reason, but this CORNDOWN seems to revolve around nail clippings. I’m not particularly proud of this. Luckily, whuppy gets things wet, and we grab some (personal) information on the chicken, or this would have been all clippings. There is a good amount of dealing with wet things actually, such as wet chicken, wet bowls, wet rooms, and classic warm and wet. Other than that, Snappy Bakes has some gay dogs, Tiff knows all fifty states, and I’ve been keeping my toilet paper in a bag rather than flush it. That’s about...
The CORNDOWN pt 323: with Bob McFadden as Stargazer
This show starts out with a few grapes, a little encouragement, and then a SERIOUS doublecross. Our famous bowls are all messed up, with wrong ingredients and incorrect operation, slamming into the frame at a forty five degree angle. From there, it’s salamanders. Pretty much all salamanders. We got normal salamanders, service salamanders, hotel salamanders. All kinds, really. Couple little lizards too. It’s pretty neat. You should check it out.

The CORNDOWN pt 322: with Kevin Spacey as John Doe
This show starts off strong, as I get a B King to mail a Whopper to my PO box to replace a scratched bun. This leads to wastedmemory having a scratched bag and a creased reciept, and I deal with a pen marked bag. We dabble with some burger sports before discovering the effectivness of reporting non-emergencies. A lot of employees are covering the phone reciever, and that’s not an emergency. There’s all kinds of stuff going on with Benadryl, and that’s not an emergency either. By the end of the show, some shit happens, but we get...
The CORNDOWN pt 321: with Julianne Moore as Clarice Starling
Ever got gravy on your neck? Did it leave a tattoo? Of course it did, so you’ll understand the first batch of calls. We also deal with returning calls we never actually got, and move gravy around between KF Chickens like its our job. There’s tall ones, Wild One’s, and I think Tiff is probably a dude with a voice changer. Rosin gets water in his tires, and then I get Pepsi in mine. We play hide and seek, eat on the toilet, mess with some cookies and mailboxes, and we’re out.
This show is...
The CORNDOWN pt 320: with Richard Belzer as Detective John Munch
Well, what we have here is a heavily goblin themed show. It starts out with red lights across the board, and settings askew. A goblin is blamed, and then focused on for several calls ranging from goblin meat to a goblin shopper. I do have the surprisingly legitimate premise of telling places we prepaid at the gas station, and we get a loty of mileage out of that. Then back to goblins. We deal with goblin holes, goblins in the parking lot, found goblins lost goblins, until we’ve done literally every goblin call. From there it’s just a ma...
The CORNDOWN pt 319: with Townsend Coleman as Muckman
The first half is all KF Chicken. We, or rather I start this CORNDOWN with a couple of loose sacks and a classic stuck lid or two. From there I explore the topic of mullet chickens before Whuppy joins in to order some Mullet Chicken of his own. Then we move on to cubes. Chicken cubes, mostly. After that it’s gas station time, where we call to check up on the fact that we sprayed an employee with gasoline last time. I also deal with some dumb capri pants, more mullets, and having my lips read. It just su...
The CORNDOWN pt 318: with Robert Llewellyn as Kryten
Oh boy, this episode of CORNDOWN starts off with a man trying to take the piss, MY piss. Not acceptable. This quickly gives way to hangout sessions with staff, where we learn several facts about quiktrip employees; they work 10 hour shifts, they get no breaks, and they are happy about it. From there we mess with all the buttons at a quiktrip before settling on messing with the emergency shutoff lever. In the second half we get in arguments about escalators, as well dabble in cages and coffins and chains. Towards the end, Tiff takes a massive dump, which...
The CORNDOWN pt 317: with Liam Hemsworth as Victor
Oh wow. This show was a disaster. Partially a national disaster? I don’t know what qualifies, but I deal with heavy ‘technical’ difficulties (I pushed a button by accident), and wastedmemory gets hit with a series of tornadoes. Seriously, mostly. Between all the madness, there’s signals from a lighthouse, gum getting stuck in the carpet, and the further difficulties of laying an egg. There’s also some talk of bad beef jerky, oh and smile fights. Smile fights were good. Of course.
This show is made possible by donations from listeners like you. If you enjoy what...
The CORNDOWN pt 316: with Henry Nixon as Downey
Well, this is a strange one. First call is about a hidden compartment housing a second beef patty, that’s normal. Second call is over half an hour of yelling at a man who says he reads books. You kinda have to hear it to understand. After that, wasted is having parking issues, and I’m trying to figure out what managers job duties are. It turns out their duties is to be a lifeguard. I told you it’s strange. Second half we deal with hard hallways and the multiple injuries they can cause to the children and the el...
The CORNDOWN pt 315: with Toby Huss as Artie, “The Strongest Man in the World”
This one starts with classic lettuce separation. Classic. Next we try to get premium packaging for our burgers, such as chili containers, drink containers, or anything other than paper! We hide food, stash food, get food out of the dumpster, etc. ad nauseum. Really standard stuff, I can’t stress that enough. Somewhere in the first half I get hung up on humane treatment options, (of which there are none) wasted deals with some bad weather, and the squiggles. Oh God, the squiggles. From there we call hotels and blank out a couple receipts, get some bags, sneak in so...
The CORNDOWN pt 314: with Emma Lung as Heather
It’s a good ol’ fashioned Fish’n’Chips CORNDOWN, as we start strong with french fry themed calls and quickly discover the fun of dropping the fries. We also deal with The Manager of The French Fries (a potatoe), and dabble in finding a firm limit on dogs and skunks. As you can expect, this leads to doing insurance fraud with Wendy’s as your provider, for a variety of tooth related problems that whuppy has. The second half is the fish half because wastedmemory shows up stinking of fish and followed by cats. I also have a couple dou...
The CORNDOWN pt 313: with Chuck Norris as Scott
You ever had a Wendy’s cut your crust off without you asking? Because that’s exactly how this CORNDOWN starts. We also discover the buns don’t match; what with being top and bottom and all. Somewhere in there we received a failing grade on the app, but I still have no clue what we did wrong. This leads to some grass roots journalism, a couple of fish fry’s, and a old bread bag. From there we try to get the front desk to destroy stuff for us, and whuppy almost goes to jail after a sneak out call...
The CORNDOWN pt 312: with Brendon Small as Brendon Small
This episode of The CORNDOWN is straight goofy. It starts off with a bunch of goofy sandwiches and goofy fries and six diet cokes. According to wastedmemory, some of the goofy food was donated. I, however, won a bunch of free stuff from the Jamba Juice at the mall. This leads to discussion of the Big Arch sandwich, a little CIA nonsense, some scabs, and cryptic advice not to eat the sandwich. The second half is just as goofy with goofy hotels, goofy parking lots, and more. Wastedmemory gives the great idea to give stuff to kids, and whuppy...
The CORNDOWN pt 311: with Lyssa Browne as Slippy Toad
In this episode of CORNDOWN, I start off trying to dress things up a little bit, which leads to several types of complaints about hats on burgers, with a bit of help from someone who sounds like whuppy. From there, we take our kids to watch employees eat at Arby’s, the New Manager Christopher gets some advice via whuppy, and wastedmemory shows up smelling like fish oil. As things close out, extra organs and teeth are found, several new sandwiches are advertised to the front desk, and things nearly go off the rails, but not quite.
...
The CORNDOWN pt 310: with Toby Huss as Kahn Souphanousinphone
On this CORNDOWN, I keep hitting my head over and over on sandwiches, trying to explain how it happened while wastedmemory adds his own versions of the same kind of injury. That spills into acts of God, like dusty sandwiches, questionable chili, and sisters hogging nuggets, which naturally leads to more injuries and car trouble. In the middle we deal with stop signs, and wake-up calls that need to get way more physical, with whuppy jumping in to argue about rooms, directions, and other bird sounds that don’t really help. By the end it’s ID checks, dropped coin...
The CORNDOWN pt 309: with Will Lee as Mr. Hooper
On this CORNDOWN, I get wrapped up in big talk about an oil tycoon and backing each other up, which then turns into arguments about what counts as inappropriate, especially when whuppy keeps jumping in to make it worse. From there I spiral into some deer/cat confusion, a litle hat theft, and we try to verify things that probably didn’t need verifying in the first place. There’s also a bit of fingers getting caught where they shouldn’t be and sandwiches wedged into places when wastedmemory shows up in the second half. Toward the end it shifts...
The CORNDOWN pt 308: with Chris Pine as Captain James T. Kirk
On this CORNDOWN, I get locked in to drive-thru problems that go too far, starting with bathroom questions, fire trucks, and gold burgers, with wastedmemory jumping in for the old people. That turns into burgers that feel wrong in texture, color, and purpose, mixed with trust issues, eye contact that lasts too long, and me taking a dump in room 211. From there it’s mostly cars where they absolutely don’t belong, like inside buildings, rooms, stairwells. Meanwhile whuppy keeps trying to shuffle situations around instead of fixing them. By the end, it’s cleaning products, email knives, Tiff’s bad lu...
The CORNDOWN pt 307: with Jared Leto as Angel Face
On this episode of CORNDOWN, I’m pausing orders and looking for warning signs, while whuppy jumps in with his own version of things. That turns into blood on shirts, in cups, in bags, and hotels with whuppy and Tifff adding to the confusion instead of cleaning it up. I’m also dealing with employee problems, strange bathroom details, paw prints, panic buttons, and questions about employee food. By the end, everything feels overhandled and a little gross, like I should’ve just finished my blood cup and left.

The CORNDOWN pt 306: with Bryan Cranston as Tim Whatley
On this CORNDOWN, I start with string but the wheels come off fast and pieces get lost while wastedmemory keeps adding reasons it might be my fault. This includes food getting tied up and layered wrong, especially once ads and bootleg versions get involved. I get stuck on trying to leave places, returning ropes, and dealing with front desk problems that somehow get more cigarettes than answers, with whuppy popping in to make the logic even shakier. It’s goblin bones, marriage proposals with beef, intentional flatulence, and personal leaks, all piling up until it feels like the episode mi...
The CORNDOWN pt 305: with Chris Diamantopoulos as Moe
On this CORNDOWN, I keep coming back to a ziplock bag that somehow turns into individual nuggets and profits, and wastedmemory jumps in with a lesson on how to talk. That slides into a long stretch about fish and exactly how you’re allowed to kill fish before it becomes a problem, plus buckets, lobsters, and what counts as acceptable handling. From there I get hung up on shady payment issues, homemade cards, bad checks, and the ID requirements of credit cards. By the end, it’s broken windows, stolen badges, and putting a 911 operator on hold.
This...
The CORNDOWN pt 304: with Daws Butler as Quisp
On this CORNDOWN, I start with sticky food and an itchy leg that quickly turns into me repeatedly admitting I might have lice. That opens the door to a long run about bugs in hotels, blankets, feet, and personal bugs too, with wastedmemory making it worse by making multiple calls. Things briefly drift into yard tools, magic tricks, and a little dating advice. Later, we’re stuck trying to cough or sneeze, worrying about smells and eye salt/pepper problems, and overthinking basic body issues while whuppy and BeeTeeBeats jump in. By the end, it’s safe hotels, hair remo...
The CORNDOWN pt 303: with Pat Fraley as Baxter Stockman
On this CORNDOWN, the first half is all about tires, popping them on purpose, swapping them with a spare, and never being done with it, with wastedmemory making the whole situation worse by adding to it. That eventually leads into food being up in places it shouldn’t be, particularly on faces, stuck whuppuy’s mouths, or causing swelling and bleeding, with whuppy and Tifff jumping in. From there, things turn uncomfortable with missing skin, and people getting stuck in cars or situations they can’t get out of. Toward the end, we’re talking about secondhand food, bad attitude...
The CORNDOWN pt 302: with Shirley Temple as Heidi
On this CORNDOWN, I start with ice and lettuce. With wasted’s help we move to cheese problems that keep getting flipped, melted, or turned inside out. That leads into a run where burgers cause real-world damage such as breaking windows, messing up cars, closing bank accounts, and getting people fired. We keep pushing those ideas until they turn into audits, arguments, and mailing food when it clearly shouldn’t be mailed. Along the way there’s lobby weirdness, stolen beef, strong guys, and a lot of talk about drive-thru speakers that probably shouldn’t be personal, ending with whuppy b...
The CORNDOWN pt 301: with Michael K Williams as Omar Little
On this CORNDOWN, I start on the idea of getting food as a gift, with wastedmemory jumping in transfering his customer status. That leads into sneezing from sandwiches, acting like an idiot, and getting hit with food for acting like an idiot. Things drift into late Christmas and replacement Santas as whuppy and wastedmemory both share different versions of what exactly that means. By the end, we’re deep into carrot deliveries, having them, gifting them, and needing them for unclear reasons—along with some more food gifts and a little shopping cart shocking to round it out.
Th...
The CORNDOWN pt 300: with Debbie Lee Carrington as Valerie Vomit
On this CORNDOWN, we start with figuring out what actually makes a gift we like, and naturally get stuck on soap and blankets, with wastedmemory complicating it with directions from Tennessee. That turns into me tring to turn myself in for unclear reasons, losing track of where I am, and wondering if elevator shoes can come off. In the middle, we go through roughhousing, hidden gifts, parking lot advantages, and a surprising amount of time spent on soup spoons, relish, and bed-buckets. By the end, we’re talking about holiday figure representation, bathroom math, and whether paying for parking is...
The CORNDOWN pt 299: with Jason Momoa as Ronon Dex
On this CORNDOWN, I start with worrying my dog is going to choke, starting with a small curly, with wastedmemory piling on and making the situation sticky. That leads into a stretch about sandwiches and how they’re made, tracked, questioned, handed off, and sometimes hollow. All the while wastedmemory keeps raising new issues that don’t seem to help. I deal with a strange website dog that keeps reappearing, with whuppy and wasted chiming in on that too. In between, I get stuck on Double Jeopardy with Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones, applying the same kind of reas...
The CORNDOWN pt 298: with Gary Cole as Harvey Birdman
On this CORNDOWN we start with a stretch about flagpoles that spirals into access issues once wastedmemory jumps in. From there we move into phone use, online photos including people, and a long microwave stint that somehow turns into a serious issue with violent foil and pants. Wastedmemory discovers how hard turning fifteen thousand dollars is, and whuppy turns in the whole room. By the end, we’re all just a little more confused than before.

The CORNDOWN pt 297: with Michael Shanks as Daniel Jackson
On this CORNDOWN, I start with a run of calls where I try to get people to guess my weight, while whuppy jumps in with his own twist on the “same pants” problem that plagues hotels. That pushes me to snap and leads to all kinds of smoking-the-hotel trouble and a short streak of pirate-themed nonsense before we drift into a long stretch about pillows. Taking pillows, pillow punishment, taking other peoples pillows as punishment, etc. somehow making each version more normal than the last. From there, things shift into people forgetting food, paying things forward and takin things back...
The CORNDOWN pt 296: with Zach Galifianakis as Chip Baskets
On this episode of CORNDOWN, I explore the idea of doing things in threes and spend some time trying to protect products, with whuppy and buccshot adding their own takes. We spend a lot of time estimating and assessing, which very naturally leads into things like potato hands and hotel transcripts. Totally normal, I promise. Towards the end, I do some Beyoncés, Tiff extracts crititical corporate espionage information, and we recieve concerning mysterious emails, which possibly should not be believed. Jame closes it out with a looping situation that feels like we’ve been down this path before. But...
The CORNDOWN pt 295: with Joseph Tudisco as Mike Santini
This episode runs on the same kind of chaotic mall-parking-lot energy as the others. There’s a cat hanging around outside, dad’s trying to go viral, and opting to believe bushes may be persons. There are private-investigator vibes, weird mouth problems, floating-in-water food, and a lot of DIYing that feels like someone is making up rules as they go. Teeth keep disappearing, multiplying, or getting counted, and the Fry Guy hasn’t been heard from in a while. Overall, it’s people trying to manage totally normal situations while slipping into strange little confirmed governmental conspiracies.
This sho...
The CORNDOWN pt 294: with Edward Penn as Owen March
On this CORNDOWN we start with arguing about whether we need emergency blankets or if regular ones work. I try to shave a few seconds off before we get weird with first aid kits, and whuppy gets in trouble for taking too long. A raccoon in a bag shows up, things get spooky and creepy, and I keep getting messed with on the phone even though I’m dry heaving. I aso get police statements for no real reason, catalyst and I try to get our ears fixed, and buccshot keeps circling back to peanuts. By the end I’m st...
The CORNDOWN pt 293: with Ola Ray as Michael’s Girl
On this CORNDOWN I run into disabled cars over and over, each one worse than the last, while whuppy tries to impose speed limits and ends up talking about Halloween bones. The whole thing drifts into being treated like vampires, spiders, goblins, etc. before we get stuck counting really high room numbers. Somewhere in there, arms get broken and my finger got ripped off at the drive-thru. wastedmemory brings chili into it, of course, and Tifff and fuzzy make things worse with spider eggs and potatoes. It closes out with some typical ghosts in the chili, a pepperoni mistake...
The CORNDOWN pt 292: with Glenn Powell as Chad Powers
This CORNDOWN starts with me trying to report some accomplices to unwilling management, and whuppy uncovers a brown leather jacket man incident. Next I take a data dump or two and things get weird fast with loose files, Walmart bags, and papers being served back and forth like it’s a courtroom. There’s far too much milk, and far too few crackheads, with buccshot puffing away in the 420 zone while I look for a way out (so I can find a way back in). Catalyst shows up with freezer food and bedbug problems, whuppy gets a drive-thru dog invo...
The CORNDOWN pt 291: with Dwight Yoakam as Raoul
This CORNDOWN starts with people trying to smoke in my glasses. Whuppy brings soup issues into the mix, such as who’s eating it, who’s spilling it, and which employees are making a mess of my glasses with it. Everything gets foggy, soup related and otherwise, and before long we’re talking about early refills, and prescriptions onions. wastedmemory and I get wrapped up in more prescription issues and debating if Wendy’s should make you a little sick, while Tifff experiments with recreational potatoes. By the end, shirts get stained by pants, food gets found, we get sick aga...
The CORNDOWN pt 290: with Kristen Wiig as Erin Gilbert
On this CORNDOWN I keep getting stuck at a Wendy’s with no drive-thru and trying to prove I’m certified for something while also deleting my Facebook over and over because people keep saying they saw someone who looks just like me. Paper becomes an issue as I try to use it as plates, then wastedmemory shows up and we get into receipts and documents to get a sandwich across state lines or avoid a taser. Whuppy runs into random guys and Buckshot deals with a rude delivery driver.Then I learn how to flush in the hotel, it’s...
The CORNDOWN pt 289: with Tim Robbins as Gary Winston
This CORNDOWN starts with me questioning the flavor of a bag while whuppy keeps being normal in every way he can think of. Things get sexual with sour cream on my pants, and slide quickly into soaked chicken, plumbers in the bathroom, and a lot of broken or confused sandwiches trying to figure out what they actually want. There’s a whole back and forth about fries being the same as sandwiches, extra versus more, and even hotdog buns getting dragged into it. Later, I’m accusing people of working at Walmart, I get some help carrying a chair, and...
The CORNDOWN pt 288: with Jimmy Kimmel as Karl Malone
This CORNDOWN starts an inch big before sandwich problems that get taped, but user engagement is too low to continue operations. Due to the low engagement I get involved with a new AI image board, while buccshot finds an important screw and I find branded batteries, which is a great way to get a reaction. For clicks and views.Things get extra weird after that. Whuppy has a twenty minute call where the woman says nothing but who, what, when, where, why, and sometimes how. Its excessive. Later, in what’s becoming a regular segment, Cloutmaster weighs in on wh...
The CORNDOWN pt 287: with Billy West as G.e.e.K.e.R.
This CORNDOWN keeps circling back to keys, losing them, someone else finding them, cops and even dogs getting involved, and wastedmemory chasing them down in his own ways. The magic rabbit stuff runs right alongside it, with them appearing, disappearing, and even coming out of hats thanks to whuppy. We bounce into odd jobs and hotel problems, from sieves and TV people to being forced to apply for jobs we don’t want, all while wastedmemory endures Mario music in the background. The rest of the crew drops in too: snappy bakes with toilet keys and cardboard food, Lux wi...
The CORNDOWN pt 286: with Woody Harrelson as Woody Boyd
This CORNDOWN kinda sucks. I start off losing my phone, wallet, keys, and even the car. Shopping carts keep getting tangled, sucking in keys, or smashing into things, with wastedmemory stepping in to make it even worse by trying to disengage buggies and change the batteries before they get sucked into my car. Also I am wearing a wire for reasons I can’t discuss, then the food calls start with sneezing on burgers, food that sound like crickets near wooded areas at dusk, plus my chili lid gets stuck. Whuppy shows up with bread that could bend light, wh...
The CORNDOWN pt 285: with Richard Dean Anderson as Dr. Jeff Webber
This CORNDOWN kicks off with someone messing around across the street while wastedmemory gets caught up in some kind of strange sensation, and before long we’re both tangled in all kinds of burger problems. From long ones to corrupt fry cooks to a full-on burger school interaction. Things shift when I start pushing buttons about thermostats and age limits and when life begins at fast food spots, with wastedmemory bribing his way through and even bringing towels to keep things going. Of course there’s hotel calls, with me losing track of room numbers, bad access codes, busted air...
