Phone Sex

Glenn Peterson is sure enough about a piece of TV trivia to wager two hours of phone sex with his friend Mike, then discovers he was wrong. Mike refuses a cash buyout and insists Glenn pay in full, so Glenn adopts a breathy falsetto persona called Peppermint while trying to look busy at his cubicle. The arrangement keeps colliding with office life: his stern boss rings the line at the wrong moment, coworkers start eavesdropping, and Glenn's improvised hotline attracts a second, very satisfied caller who wants Peppermint too. By the time the boss catches him mid-performance and fires him, Glenn has fully committed to the role and leaves with his dignity, as he sees it, intact.

Glide Magazine ranked Phone Sex ninth in its 2013 list of the ten best Mr. Show sketches. In the broadcast, the following Dude's Dude link continues the story, with Glenn reinvented as a phone-sex star for male callers.
