Lois, AKA The Brandon Brain Lady, is a racist and anti-Semitic old lady who was a favorite caller to Bob's WPLP show (we are desperate for clips!). She made a call to Dick Norman's show, and when Bob pokes fun at her for it she calls in to what's ostensibly an open phones show, to tell him how disgusting he is. It's a lot of fun!
Apparently that's who Bob asked for at the beginning of this show, because that's the calls he gets. What else is there to say?
After Bob's announced that he's leaving WPLP, all hell breaks loose. Lassiter would later refer to this mad free-for-all as "the original Chat With Bob show."
During a discussion about AIDS and what to do about it, an elderly woman calls in and calls for mandatory AIDS testing for "high risk groups." This turns out to include Bob. One of his quicker rises to anger.
At the start of the show Bob tells us that he finds Mr. Cumber's book "very interesting," which you always know means it's going to be wackadoo. Indeed, his book is a discussion of Cold War strategic solutions and the Biblical frame of reference for them. It won't be a surprise to learn that googling Mr. Cumber's name today turns up commentary by him on birther sites.
