Boston Rob rode elevators and delivered deliberately offensive or bizarre remarks to unsuspecting strangers while the radio hosts replayed the encounters. He made racist jokes about a crowded elevator and fishing in Mira Mesa, then unsettled riders with a story about losing his car and dog after prison. He also compared pioneer life to running a concentration camp, told a woman and child that he had avoided bathing for a fortnight, and credited Al-Qaeda with reviving Family Guy. The hosts repeatedly called the material brutal, racist, and awkward while Boston Rob treated each encounter casually and usually ended with "have a good one."
What happened, in order
Crowded Elevator
Boston Rob broke the silence in a crowded elevator with a deliberately racist comparison, then casually told the stunned passengers to have a good day.
Lost It All
Boston Rob told strangers that he lost his car and dog after doing time, abruptly turning ordinary elevator small talk into an uncomfortable confession.
Pioneer Thought Experiment
Boston Rob asked a passenger to imagine pioneer life, then absurdly equated living off the land with running a concentration camp and barking orders.
Whose Fishing Line
Boston Rob twisted a question about Whose Line Is It Anyway? into a racist fishing joke about tangled lines in Mira Mesa, which the hosts immediately called brutal.
Fortnight Without a Bath
Boston Rob told a woman and her child that baths were overrated, claimed he had gone a fortnight without one, and invited them to smell him.
Al-Qaeda and Family Guy
Boston Rob argued that people only discuss Al-Qaeda's bad deeds and falsely credited the group with bringing Family Guy back to network television.

Should we do a little bit of some of this? I'd say we get into stuff. Where's the theme? Where's the theme? Elevator. It's right. All the themes are in yellow. Got it, got it, got it. Color coordinated. He's the elevator dirtbag. That's what I'm talking about. Take one look at him and you will gag. When you see the slime ball come, then you should run. He'll tell you that he is a transient. Idiot. Or say he is giving up gay sex for Lent. Sweet. He's the elevator dirtbag. All right, folks. What we do is we send Boston Rob into elevators to say strange things to people and get their reactions. And it's pretty fun stuff. All right. Let's see. This first one we have for you.
is Boston Rob commenting on how crowded it is. And I'm assuming by that we mean in the elevator. Crowded in here, huh? Kind of like a Mexican's apartment. Except we all have jobs. Very nice. Oh, well. Have a good one. I love have a good one. That really has become your phrase, man. The second one is Boston Rob talking about how he lost a lot of his possessions. Tell me about it. I lost my car, my dog, all in one shot. It was just because I did time. I believe you made it. There was a lot of loan in there, too. Oh, my.
Oh, my. And that was a conversation across an elevator. Oh, good. There were people in between you. Oh, in between you? Yeah, that's what you heard. So a couple of ladies talking in between, and I was talking through them. And after I dropped that, the conversation pretty much stopped between them. It's brutal. It was very awkward. This next one is Boston Rob giving a stranger some food for thought. What's up, man? What would it be like to be a pioneer back in the olden days? How's that? You know, like, live off the land or even, like, run a concentration camp and bark out orders. Oh, yeah. They're exactly the same. You know, live in the olden days, work at a concentration camp, bark out orders. That's crazy. I don't know. Just a thought. All right. Have a good one. Nice.
Oh, my. This next one is Boston Rob asking about a TV show. You ever seen that show Whose Line Is It Anyways? Yeah? Well, you ever go down to Mira Mesa fishing and get your line tangled, I'll tell you whose line it is. I'm friggin' Orientals. Hey, guys, have a good one. Oh, my God. The racism in this elevator. Jeez. Oh, my God. So, B-Rob is saying, if you want to know whose line it is, and you're fishing in Mira Mesa, it's the Oriental tangled up in your line next to you? What? Brutal. It just gets worse. This is the next one. The next one is B-Rob. I'm going to be killed one of these days. Talking about his new realization.
You know, I came to the realization the other day that baths, they're overrated. Baths? Yeah, baths. You're just going to get dirty again, you know? I'm working on a fort night right now. You want to smell? You sure? Yeah. It's been a while. All right, have a good one. A lady and her child. Oh, my. No. Hey, sometimes those children have to understand what I'm thinking. Sure. What's a fortnight? I knew what a fortnight is. It's almost a month, right? Okay, Rob. That's what I thought it was. This next one is Boston Rob mentioning the good some groups can accomplish. Nowadays in the news is the bad stuff about Al-Qaeda, huh? No one ever talks about the good stuff. Don't quote me on this, but I believe, you know Family Guy? Don't quote me on this, but I believe that they're responsible for the Family Guy's return on network TV. Yeah. What? You never hear anyone talk about that. All right, guys, have a good one. Al-Qaeda.
He's the elevator dirtbag. Oh, jeez. Take one look at him and you will gag. Yeah, you are. When you see the slime ball come, then you should run. He'll tell you that he is a transient. Or say he is giving up gay sex for Lent. He's the elevator dirtbag. There you go.
