Summary[]

Joe, Murr, Sal and Q skirt the law while posing as receptionists, then go fishing at an unlikely locale. And the heat is on for tonight's big losers as they try to give one unlucky customer the deal of a lifetime.

Challenges[]

Bad Reception[]

  • Goal: Do and Say What You're Told.
  • Loser: Joe lost because he laughed too hard at the phone number, given to him by Sal, that he left the room without saying the number.

Off the Hook[]

  • Goal: Team-Based Double-Down Challenge - Hook a stranger's belongings.
  • Loser: Sal and Q lost since Q was shopping for cargo pants when he should be fishing, when he was finally ready Sal relaxed on a message chair.

Punishment[]

  • Loser(s): Sal and Q
  • Punishment: Sal and Q have to play telemarketers trying to sell a unique turquoise ring. Dressed up in formal attire, they have to make their cold calls in a small room with intensely hot conditions and they cannot leave the room until the ring is sold. Entering the room, Sal and Q are already literally feeling the burn, everything from a fire active in the fireplace to two heaters activated in the background to add to the hotness in the room and they have to use two water dispensers usually meant for hamsters and gerbils to stay hydrated; the projected photo of Murr was also a nice touch, with Murr telling Sal they're using two things he hates the most: sweat and Murr himself. Armed with yellow pages dating back to the late 1950s (times are tough in the turquoise ring industry) and rotary phones to make their calls (not only so they cannot send a photo of the product, but also to increase the time they'll be stuck in the room), Sal and Q start to work. For each call the men made while spending a steamy total of 4 hours and 26 minutes in the room, some people hang up and others end up being fax machines, but the men eventually succeed in selling the ring to the owner of a pizzeria Q frequented as a child.

Opening Quote[]

  • Murr: You don't have an umbrella!

Trivia[]

  • If Q and Sal hadn't screwed around in the second challenge and forfeited, Joe would've lost the episode instead. If the challenge was worth a single thumbs down, then they along with Joe would be the losers of the episode.

  • This is the first episode where multiple losing jokers lose a Double-Down Challenge, and end up losing the episode altogether.
