We should make it a contest to see who can keep the hosts on the phone for the longest time. A certain member of this community who excels in this capacity will school us all, though.

are we going to be trying any themes (besides tons of cactus of course)?

Lets call in as PLA characters and buy/sell things related to them.  Like be Dino and sell your cordless phone and rant about prank callers listening in. Or be Mildred Monday selling your black siding.

i'm up, and in irc in #phonelosers on efnet.  i'd be in freedom uplink as well, but that server seems to be doing something wonky and not letting me connect.

Hi i'm mike and i sold the truck. My own mediocre attempt at humor has been highly amusing to myself. A lil payback for me and handler.

The screener is pretty brutal!  Be ready with what your selling and the price, your name and your phone number.  He hung up on me just because I stumbled over the price.

The host is pretty good at hitting the dump button, so it's probably best to keep your prank subtle.

That screener was pretty goddamn brutal.

I said my name, and my location, and he asked for an exact address.

Troll is unsuccessful, I say we raid another show with an easier screener. This was almost no fun.

Right before I went on the air, the screener interrupted me again and asked for my zip code. I messed up when trying to say a St. Louis one and he disconnected me :(

On the plus side, think of all the legitimate callers that got hung up on :D

I got through pretty easily, as "Brad" selling a ford focus. I just wrote the zip down and a number in front of me so i wouldnt slip up if he asked.

Here's a quick edit of the mob. All in all it went pretty well considering how hard they were screening people and how liberal the host was with the cutoff delay. I'll probably do a quick youtube video with some crude animation and upload it later.

Did you record the entire 2 hours?  If so, I won't bother editing my own recording.  I missed about the last 30 minutes of the show because I fell out of my chair onto the floor and slept for about 3 hours.  Getting up at 5am sucks.

EDIT: Looks like you did.  Sounds great!  Too bad so many punchlines got cut off.

EDIT AGAIN: AW MAN!  Mildred's happy birthday singing got cut off!  It was so brilliant too!  I got to hear it on the phone because I was on hold, but I guess he got cut off on the air.  Dammit, that was so awesome.

Don't feel bad. The song I sung got cut off, too :'(
The third prank call to the show (using the name Chase) I sung this:
