On the August 2nd, 2025 episode of The Callective, the show was hosted by RBCP, who was introduced as putting the "us in cactus". The episode featured multiple participants making prank calls, primarily to hotels and convenience stores.
Key aspects and notable incidents from the episode include:
• Show Format and Rules:
◦ Participants were in a Discord video stream, while others could listen on a "printcast".
◦ Rules included keeping muted unless it was a turn, using text chat for conversations, and putting a "play bell" in the chat to queue for a prank call.
◦ Crucially, prank call rules from the Discord server and phonusers.com/rules were to be followed: no slurs, no getting police involved, and no threats of violence, with an emphasis on keeping it light.
◦ Callers were also advised not to leak the source of the call, with "101.1 the butt" and "butts slammed" as the go-to cover.
◦ Being drunk or abusive would result in removal.
• Notable Prank Calls:
◦ Brad's First Call: Brad, the host, prank called a 7-Eleven, claiming to be a customer stealth camping on the roof and asking them to turn down the noisy AC. He also mentioned being in the cooler earlier.
◦ Philadelphia's Busy Lines: Several attempts to call convenience stores in Philadelphia resulted in busy signals, leading to speculation that they might be avoiding prank calls.
◦ Water from the Pump: A caller named Rosen claimed water, not gas, came out of a gas pump and wanted the issue dealt with immediately.
◦ Pebbles in the Tub: Callers repeatedly used a premise of "Bonnie, my pebbles" or "pebbles in the tub," with one hotel staff member warning about clogs and damage fees.
◦ "Large Nipples" Complaint: Cyberspace Cosminaut called a hotel called "So Sweet," complaining that everyone, including the hotel staff, was making fun of his "large nipples". The staff member was perceived by some as an AI language model due to lag and a non-native English accent, despite stating they were human.
◦ Self-Reporting Drug Use: Andy Anderson called a Best Western to report someone doing drugs, then proceeded to describe himself and his truck, admitting he was the one on drugs, but due to paranoia, he wouldn't give his room number. He also asked the hotel staff if they wanted to talk about stuff and if they had ever done drugs.
◦ "Light Butt Scamming": Cryfox inquired about refunds for "light butt scamming" done in the parking lot, relating it to a TikTok challenge where money is secretly put into pockets for a larger refund later.
◦ Butt Scanner Device: Another caller described setting up a device at a counter to scan wireless debit cards, claiming it had stopped working.
◦ Walmart Manager Needs Meeting Space: A caller claiming to be a Walmart manager needed a meeting space for 20 people because their break room had "issues" with employees peeing everywhere. The hotel repeatedly stated they didn't have the space.
◦ Corporate Complaints about "Buddy": A participant considered calling back the hotel employee who kept calling people "buddy" as a corporate representative, tired of the complaints.
◦ "Australian Kiss": A caller offering "mixtapes" tried to flirt with a woman by asking if she'd like an "Australian kiss," explaining it's like a French kiss but "down under".
◦ Elevator Stuck Between Floors: Drake Dragsaw called a Wyndham hotel, claiming he was stuck in an elevator between floors, specifically on a "third and a half floor" that was 4ft tall with office space. An unseen person in the "office space" told him to leave, claiming it was a "fart attack orgy".
◦ Prostitutes at the Hotel: Two callers acting as "prostitutes" tried to get into a client's room at a Hampton Inn, mentioning their client was paying for their room because they were "prostitutes".
◦ Epstein Island List: Dr. Tom Servo called about a table for sale and then asked the person why their name was on the Epstein Island list from Wikileaks.
◦ Non-functional Fax Machine: A caller at a Quality Inn complained about a fax machine in their room not working, despite putting quarters in it and cranking it up. He then threatened to pour water into it.
◦ Mixtapes in Stores/Hotels: The "Yo Ghost" persona repeatedly tried to convince convenience stores and hotels to sell or play his mumble rap mixtapes, suggesting hiding SD cards under Twinkies or playing them in elevators.
◦ Conjoined Twins: Ron Mexico and Brad acted as conjoined twins checking into a Red Roof Inn, asking about ADA compliant rooms, twin beds, and a "conjoined toilet," and mentioning they were born on different days.
◦ Sasquatch Call: Green Imp attempted a "Sasquatch call" from a wooded hotel area, making looping and farting sounds, which the hotel staff couldn't hear clearly.
◦ Band Rehearsal: Vista Blue's call involved a band needing to practice for a show where Jacob Dylan (Bob Dylan's son) was supposedly attending, complaining about power outages and asking to use hotel facilities as a music room.
◦ Finding Car Keys: RBCP's call revolved around finding car keys in a hotel hallway and insisting on trying them on every car in the parking lot to find the owner, rather than handing them to the front desk.
◦ Weed Pipe in Freezer: Devon Anistar called a convenience store, claiming to have left her weed pipe in their freezer after a "Rando Nautica" expedition, demanding a refund, and engaging in a heated argument with the employee.
◦ Stolen Parking Spot for Truck: Andy Anderson called a Holiday Inn Express, complaining his specific parking spot, chosen for multiple outdoor power plugs for his truck appliances (like a microwave and Starlink), was stolen and requested a hotel tow truck.
◦ On the Roof: Cryfox called a Holiday Inn Express, claiming to be on the roof and needing to get down. The hotel staff repeatedly told him to "just jump".
◦ Registered Sex Offender DoorDash Driver: Antos called a Comfort Inn to report that his DoorDash driver was a registered sex offender who was technically not allowed out at that time of night, but he didn't want the hotel to get him in trouble.
◦ Replacing Wiring with "Gold Flake": Butt Eye, Zenorax's stepdad, claimed to own a security company and had removed grounded copper wiring from his hotel room's walls, replacing it with "gold flake wiring".
◦ Ceiling Collapse: Drake Dragsaw called a Motel 6, claiming the ceiling in his room collapsed when he tried to access an "upper storage area".
◦ Roof Party: A caller tried to find "roof access" for a "roof party" at a Microtel, despite the hotel denying such access.
◦ Soliciting Oral Sex for Cookies: Ron Mexico reported a woman in a Double Tree hotel's parking lot who was offering oral sex in exchange for four cookies, providing a detailed description of her. He then asked if he could still get four cookies for himself.
◦ High School Reunion "All Call": The episode concluded with a group "all call" to a Double Tree hotel, where participants collectively acted as a high school reunion group kicked out of their conference hall, desperately needing a space for 150 people and requesting cookies. They were eventually told security would be patrolling, implying they couldn't stay in the parking lot or use the bathrooms.
Overall, the episode was described as a "successful night" with "no police calls" and "no butt slamming," indicating adherence to the show's rules despite the chaotic nature of some calls. RBCP was thanked for hosting.

This episode of The Callective, broadcast on April 26th, 2025, presents a live session of prank calls, primarily targeting hotels and various businesses, characterised by their absurd, disruptive, and often explicit nature. The show is hosted by RBCP, who, along with other participants, engages in the calls and provides running commentary for the audience.

Show Structure and Guiding Principles: The show operates with specific rules for its callers, mandating no slurs, no violence, and no police involvement. Callers are expected to keep their microphones muted when not speaking and to use text chat for all other conversations. A frequently mentioned, though often disregarded, rule is to keep prank calls under 30 seconds, aiming for rapid comedic impact. Callers are also provided with a specific line to use if they need to reveal the prank: "This is you're call from 101.1 the butt and you just got butts slammed". The hosts acknowledge that calls don't always succeed, as the recipient is an "improv thing where the other party is a complete variable".

Common Themes and Types of Interactions: The episode features a strong emphasis on hotel-themed prank calls, where callers concoct a variety of bizarre and uncomfortable situations:

• Explicit and Bodily Function References: Callers often introduce highly graphic or uncomfortable scenarios. Examples include asking for a "comrag" for "wanking", claiming their "foreskin got caught in the door", describing "percussive diarrhea", or even stating an intention to climb a building and "show my wife my tits".

• Absurd Room-Related Issues: Pranksters invent outlandish problems within their hotel rooms, such as being "trapped under the bed" with a "hand stuck in the toilet" and a "pile of leaves". Other scenarios include ripping a "big hole in the ceiling" while "playing Spider-Man" with suction cups, clogging a bathtub with "ketchup and corn dogs" for an anniversary celebration, or having a toilet overflowing due to "sawdust" and "corn starch".

• Challenges to Hotel Security and Rules: Callers frequently claim to be in restricted areas, like the "electrical room," asking about specific switches, or announcing they are in the "employees only room" and feeling "discriminated against," leading to a threat of police involvement. One caller threatens to "drill a small hole through the window" for an antenna. Another claims to have found a "master key" and used it to enter other guests' rooms, resulting in accidental damage while their "girlfriend" is drunk.

• Lost or Stolen Items: Prank calls involve reporting missing items with unusual descriptions, such as a "wireless listening device magnetically hooked up underneath the lip of the counter", a "fenic fox" that went missing during a "goon sesh", or a stolen "water bottle" attributed to actor Andy Dick.

• Complaint-Based Pranks: Some calls initiate with absurd complaints, like an "ugly pizza" or a hotel parking spot being taken. A memorable instance involves feeding geese nachos, despite a warning sign, leading to them "chasing my daughter".

Beyond hotels, the episode features calls related to selling and buying unusual items:

• Callers contact individuals selling items such as recliners, lawnmowers, cast iron tubs, and "meat variety of baby chicks". These interactions often lead to confusing discussions about pricing, remote delivery (e.g., to Australia), or bizarre intentions for the items, such as "smashing" a horse garden tiller for a rap video.

Interaction Dynamics and Memorable Moments:

• Caller Absurdity and Persistence: The pranksters consistently maintain their bizarre narratives, often refusing to provide standard information like room numbers, which causes increasing confusion for recipients. Callers also use fake names like "Frank Catz" and "Justin Cider".

• Recipient Confusion and Frustration: The most common reactions from call recipients are confusion, politeness, and attempts to follow standard procedures (e.g., asking for a room number). This often escalates into frustration, explicit annoyance, or quick disconnections.

• Automated Systems and Hold Times: Many calls, particularly to businesses like Domino's or larger hotels, are met with extensive automated menus and long hold times, sometimes preventing the prank from even beginning or being effective. This often frustrates the pranksters and generates running commentary from the hosts.

• Meta-Pranks and Audience Interaction: The show frequently features meta-commentary from hosts and callers about the rules, the success or failure of pranks, and real-time reactions to the calls. There's a recurring joke about poor phone audio quality, jokingly attributed to a "tin can and string".

• Coordinated Pranks: A notable segment involves a coordinated "Andy Dick" prank, where multiple callers contact the same hotel sequentially, each reporting a different absurd behaviour attributed to the actor. The hosts observe that the "magic number is three" before the target catches on to the collective prank.

• Technical Issues and Sound Effects: Callers sometimes use sound effects (e.g., overflowing water, burps) to enhance the prank's realism or comedic effect. The hosts also manage their own audio and connection challenges during the show.

The episode provides an immersive experience into the world of live prank calling, demonstrating the callers' inventive approaches to turning ordinary customer service interactions into an unpredictable, humorous, and often cringeworthy improv show. It's like watching a comedy troupe's live performance, where the unsuspecting call recipient is the unwitting straight man to the escalating absurdity.

Tonight's Callective is hosted by RBCP and completely terrorized by Criefaux. The first few seconds are mostly silence, so DON'T PANIC AND BE PATIENT!

The Callective episode broadcast on March 1st, 2025, presents a lively and often chaotic live session of prank calls, primarily targeting hotels and various businesses. The show is hosted by RBCP, with Ira serving as the "fun governor" responsible for outlining the show's rules, and Brad also participating in and facilitating calls.

Core Rules and Guiding Principles: The show adheres to a strict set of rules for its participants, designed to maintain a certain comedic tone while avoiding serious legal or ethical repercussions. These include mandates for no racial slurs, no threats of violence, and no police involvement. Callers are expected to keep their microphones muted unless it's their turn to speak, with all other conversations relegated to text chat. A "PLA bell" emoji in the chat serves as the signal to queue up for a call, facilitated by a new automated robot system.

The hosts emphasise the importance of being "nice" and supportive, acknowledging that prank calls are an "improv thing where the other party is a complete variable" and sometimes simply "don't work out". A key rule, though often challenged or broken for comedic effect, is to keep prank calls under 30 seconds. Should a prankster need to reveal the call's nature, the designated phrase is: "This is you're call from 101.1 the butt, and you just got butts slammed". Hosts also jokingly, and perhaps ironically given the rules, discuss threatening children, even saying "All 18 and under" and "Kill them like they're John".

Common Themes and Types of Interactions: This episode largely revolves around disruptive scenarios in hotels and absurd requests made to various businesses. The categories for calls announced by Brad included hotel front desks, convenience stores, swap shop people, town home people, and homeowners associations. Notably, children's hospitals were also listed as targets, with a dark humorous suggestion of waking them up to tell them "Ah, you have cancer".

Key themes and call types observed in this episode include:

Hotel Disruptions and Outlandish Issues:

Explicit and Uncomfortable Scenarios: Callers often introduce highly graphic or uncomfortable situations, such as reporting "black liquid coming out of the… toilet" or claiming to be climbing the side of the building to show their wife their "tits".

Absurd Room-Related Problems: Pranksters invent bizarre issues, including a "fenic fox" (described as a "cat with giant ears") going missing during a "goon sesh" with the room door open, or a toilet that was "twisted around about… 95 degrees" to face "east west for pooping," now leading to a room that "smells like weed and I think my dog's high".

Challenges to Hotel Security and Rules: Calls involve claiming to have found a "master key" and accidentally breaking items in other guests' rooms while a drunk "girlfriend" is present. Another caller reports a "topless lady smoking in the hallway", leading to security involvement.

Bizarre Guest Conduct: A caller pretending to be in a 12-step program apologises for "blowing chunks" (his dog) "all over the place" in the lobby two years prior. Other calls inquire about the "level of tasteful nudity" acceptable in the hotel or ask how many screws can be taken from the furniture before "things are starting to fall apart".

"All Calls" (Group Pranks): In a coordinated effort, multiple participants call a hotel claiming to have more people in their room than allowed, generating loud background noise and aiming to overwhelm the staff. This is explicitly stated by Ira as a group activity.

"Stealth Camping": One caller claims to be "stealth camping" in a tent on the hotel grounds and needs assistance removing a man named Roy who is drawing attention to him.

Convenience Store and Other Business Scenarios:

Callers propose cooking hot dogs from the dumpster in the microwave and getting free buns, with one caller claiming to be homeless.

A fundraiser concept involves twerking for six hours in front of a store for "Make a Wish" kids, claiming host Brad's permission.

A "customer survey" is conducted with bizarre, personal questions like paying child support or the weirdest liked smell.

One caller attempts to return a dirtied "Invader Zim" hoodie to Hot Topic.

A particularly gross call involves feeding a Chinese buffet's fish "General Toes chicken" to the point where it's "swimming upside down".

Interaction Dynamics: The interactions are characterised by a constant push-and-pull between the pranksters' deliberate absurdity and persistence and the recipients' confusion, politeness, and eventual frustration or anger. Many calls are met with extensive automated systems and long hold times, which frustrates the callers and is a recurring point of commentary from the hosts.

Recipients frequently attempt to follow standard protocols, asking for room numbers or names, which callers often refuse to provide or provide fake ones. Disconnections are common once the recipients realise it's a prank. The hosts and callers also engage in meta-commentary, discussing the rules, the effectiveness of the pranks, and their own audio/technical issues during the live show. The coordinated "Andy Dick" prank from a previous episode (April 26th, 2025) is also discussed, with the hosts noting the "magic number is three" before the target catches on.

The Callective on March 1st, 2025, functions as an unpredictable comedic improvisation session, where the callers are the provocative performers and the unsuspecting call recipients are the bewildered participants, grappling with increasingly bizarre and explicit scenarios.

Here's a show mainly just to test my sound stuff before I host The Callective tomorrow. I failed at doing that part, but at least we had some fun. My Callective show is tomorrow (Saturday) at 4pm Pacific / 7pm Jizzle time.

Here's a call I did on Devon's 2-14-2024 show. An old lady is selling a hay roller machine and I tell her I fell off it. There's a followup call to her on Devon's show. Go listen! I don't have a link yet though.

I do some silent auctions which mostly sucked, then I called residential numbers, which mostly sucked, then moved on to classified ads which went okay.
