The main reason for sending Producer Joe out on the streets to interact with people is so we can hear and experience the awkwardness that he usually encounters.  A few years back, we had the idea to send him out with a bluetooth piece in his ear, talk directly to people and when they responded, follow it up with "I'm not talking to you.  I'm on a bluetooth!".  Producer Joe's Blue Donkey Tooth Challenge was born!

Yesterday, we came across a video of something very similar called cell phone crashing.  Basically, you find someone talking on a cell phone and stand right next to them on your cell phone, responding to everything they say.  This will most likely be a Joe stunt sometime in the near future.
