Prank call shows, with friends

On this show I call people to ask their phone number. That's the entire premise. It's fabulous. It's baffling. And it's very, very annoying.
This may be my favorite show in a long while.
NOTE: There are some business phone numbers included in this audio, and while I generally try to avoid that or censor them out, it was kind of unavoidable given the premise.

On this lirious and ranged show we did some of our past fun bits:

• including Memento calls, where the person on the line is made aware that we have short term memory loss and we see how patient they are while we repeat everything over and over. See the original show here (and kudos to @jesuspenus for the original premise): https://prankcast.com/milkbox/posts/7396-mbs-143-argumemento

• the return of Mr Hershey, absentee proprietor of thousands of hotel chains, calling his employees to get them to clap and woop on the phone, and even made a jingle for them.

• and more!

Thanks to the amazing chat for the hilarious ideas. And to @icecat and @doglettuce for joining for a bit - sorry for the audio troubles.

I had such a great time!

On this show I called a bunch of numbers and said silly things, which was a welcome change from the usual format of evangelical rock and reading bible passages by a crackling fire.

• Gaslamping hotel clerks that their gas pump isn't working.
• Calling a lady selling chickens to buy her roosters for cock fights. (thanks @matthew4)

• Chasing my chickens around an RV park. 00:58:00
• Accidentally left a Biggie Smalls mural on the wall of the hotel.
• Chaining myself to the roof for solidarity with the victims.
• Asking a dryer vent guy to clean the pieces of my pet squirrel out of my dryer vent. (thanks @parkman!)
• Private eye mistakes an answering service for an escort service.
• Asking my neighbors to please keep it down 01:47:03
• and more!

• And at the end I try to borrow pillows from hotel rooms and found that they really don't like that.

Thanks to @MrBombadil and @animegurl304 for sending in some numbers tonight.

This week's main premise, courtesy of @jesuspenus, was simple: Tell people that you've got a short-term memory condition that forces your brain to reset every few minutes, then drive them absolutely crazy repeating the conversation over and over.

Thanks to:

• @JesusPenus for the really fun and clever show premise.
• @licketysplit972 and @justluapo for the generous tips.
• @revkev and @animegurl304 for sending me phone numbers.

This show may have set my record for ringtones. But my customer surveys have indicated that y'all like ring tones, so that's weird, but i guess you do you.

• Calling up realtors to tell them I'm squatting in their listing 06:00

• Calling up realtors to tell them we're shooting an adult film in their listing.

• Calling up strangers and accusing them of sleeping with my wife. 00:29:27

• Accusing neighbors of letting my cat hang out inside their home.

• Complaining that my cat is slipping into a neighbor's yard to get high on cat nips. 00:54:30

• Old concept: calling random residentials to let people know that I changed my number.

• Old concept: Accusing hotels of letting my kid watch porn on my laptop using THEIR wifi 01:48:19 and 02:05:53

• Calling hotels to give them completely unnecessary advice on how to sell the room to me. 02:12:35

On this Tax-Deadline Day show I procrastinated my filings by calling a few businesses to list them as dependents on my tax return. I also called hotels and played AI jingles for them.
eg. Getting black out drunk at the Hilton Hawaii

Most surveyed listeners agreed it was a good show. "Worth a listen I guess"-example listener.

Thanks to:

• @dribblybob for becoming a patreon!
• https://sonauto.ai for the amazing AI generated music clips. I'll try to post direct links when I have time.

In this post Father's Day episode, we call companies as corporate priest Father Frank Katz and his altarboy intern Rodney (@doglettuce) to organize confessions with their guests and staff.

• Surprisingly, many people accept this as completely normal. A few even connect us to room numbers with the beautiful dodge of "we can't tell you the name of the person we're calling from since it's privileged information."
• We also ordain someone as a temporary minister in order to be able to share confidential parishioner name information with them. 01:04:56
• The same guy even gives confession to us. This was really goofy. 01:15:24
• Lastly, we call to complain that we were nosing around in a neighbor's room and found some inappropriate personal items in their suitcase.

Thanks to @doglettuce for joining in the fun!

On today's show, I mostly called zillow real estate listings to ask them if they got the packages I had delivered to their home, and to please not open them. Some people REALLY did not like that, like this guy who got REALLY upset and accused me of trespassing, when all i was doing was just passing. 01:34:45

I also played a clip from earlier in the day where someone called me looking to buy bunnie meat, and I tried to upsell them on human meat instead.

@criefaux, @matthew4 and @gretagarbage also joined later for some collaborative calls later with line echoes and a new one where we coach each other through normal interactions, and it was hilarious.

Reminder to send me any clips you want featured in our upcoming Prankaversary Show, celebrating 2 years of silly fun here.
