Title: Any idea for future episodes?
Post by: rbcp on March 29, 2006, 08:00:54 PM
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?  I'm open to anything.  I was thinking maybe one on caller ID spoofing.  Last year we used to really screw with peoples' heads with that.  Not sure if that'd translate onto audio too good, though.

Maybe in episode #7 I'll read murd0c's entire LiveJournal to classical music.

How about I hijack your program and host it for you.

Actually there's one thing you could do. Look for those call boxes that are usually around apartment complexes or fancy gates and try getting their phone number. Set up a camera in front of the call box; and whenever someone passes by, call the box and talk to them. Record on video, and profit from PLATV finally being updated in the 21st century!

I know where one box is, but unless you're willing on traveling 3100 miles to it you're better off finding one in Oregon.

Hide some codes in your shows. Then start a program with which you mail out decoders, then we decode and you read our names on the air.

Oh!  And the first secret message will be "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine!"

That callbox idea would be great.  But PLA TV is SO 20th century.  Radio killed the video star.

I'm sure you can just record the sound. You just call the box and listen for footsteps so you know when someone's passing by. We've done this before:

I forgot to add: Any more ideas? I can just give RBCP the number we use; we haven't done a prank in a year but the box still works apparently.

Do some Shoplifting Employee calls like this one
Quote
This guy works at a grocery store and we call him up, pretending to be with store security and convince him to turn out his pockets because we think he was stealing. After he does it, we let him know that it was just a joke. Then we get him to tell us what kind of phone system the store uses and we attempt to have him transfer us to the overhead paging. But that doesn't work. THEN we get him to hand the phone to a customer and we accuse the customer of stealing too. The real punchline is when he calls his manager over and the manager chews him out for being stupid while we listen

For the phone booth one, get a strong long distance laser and shine it on the back of the prankee's head, ask them to turn around and tell them if your demands are not met, they will be shot. The demand is to drop thier pants or another humiliating task that your saucy mind can think of.
Another idea would be to break out the Samuel L Jackson soundboard and play the phrase "ENGLISH MOTHER FUCKER" when applicable (also "that is some FUCKED up rupuganant shit" is good)
Alternitvely, use an abrasive extremely nerdy archtypal 13 year old hacker voice and ask them where they live and thier credit card number.
Then again, I reckon calling people up and telling them "There ain't no work for you here, boy" or telling them to fuck off you fat cunt will just explode my sides (use they extremly bogan Tasmanian voice for this).
Do what you must to thwart the public's self-confidence patience.

Yes Old People are a MUST! 

And I like your first idea, caller id spoofing.  Everybody wants to know how to do it.  It would transfer into great audio.  I don't mean Orange Box tones I mean the other meathods like operator diverting, calling cards, exc.  Then place spoofed calls.  Spoof Patrick's number onto his bosses phone, make it seem like people are calling themselfs ext.  You can also explain how caller id works.  Explains ANACs and give out some numbers.  It would be a great episode. 

And if you do make this episode.  Please, remind the listeners not to make the same mistakes I did.  Make sure they TEST their spoofing meathods atleast once a day to make sure they still work.

I don't know if this is possible, but if there's any more material or more of a story behind the 'What's your bid' phone mobbing, an episode based on or incorporating that would be funny and interesting.  I'm sure lots of people would be up for another phone mobbing adventure for a new PLA episode.  Hell, I'd even call from Australia and participate  ;D

Also, more old people!

Have you ever thought of putting a WebCam or something of the sort up for the show? Maybe make the show live on the webcam, or just record it. Might be interesting

Another SE episode would be kinda nice, you should call up some really popular hotels and SE them into canceling peoples reservations, and perhaps giving the rooms away.

mean but funny.

How about something borderline scary/illegal, like calling to make airline reservations under the name Osama bin Laden or asking if you can bring your box cutter on the plane?  Might want to do this one from a pay phone, and keep the call under a couple of minutes ... could be funny stuff!

The idea behind a prank call is not to get arrested.  That does not achieve that objective.

Besides, it's not illegal to make an airline reservation under the name "Osama bin Laden."  Do it from a pay phone if you're scared.

certainly.. phones work without power right?

"no my fridge is not running.. the power is out in the whole house"

"then you'd better pay your bill you crack smoking monkey!"

the point is that you, with the help of some very minor social engineering, called the power company and had scheduled a shutoff.

I've got two ideas, but I haven't read this post, so some of them might have been posted already.
I think hijaking a store's all store paging system is every phreaker's dream, and would make a great topic for an episode of PLA radio. On the other hand, there's a PLA issue that adresses just that. Also, this isn't really phone related, but maybe something about pirate radio stations. What do you think?
