Brad kicks off this live-but-not-live episode (which is pre-recorded but is live from yesterday) with a Facebook mob for a photography outfit, gawks at the pictures of weird kids on their page.
5:24: Karen is instantly suspicious of Greg (he's already called in an earlier show about a RoyCo roofing mishap) when he calls about her car insurance. Karen hangs up, apparently an emergency phone call is more important than speaking to State Farm. Eventually managing to get back to her, Karen (who owns three cars) is full of questions for Greg (who's now morphed into Roy Gerbil), after some questioning she knows exactly who Roy is and informs him he'll be arrested shortly (that's nice, honey tits).
10:38: Kevin speaks to a lady at Barnes apartments (who insists she's not angry, just anticipating) about a problem with the aquarium full of of bedbugs he was using in his science experiment. Always heavy handed, Kevin has busted walls and broken a pipe trying to chase down the escaped bugs and needs help. Told that it's his problem, Kevin's a Google law expert and disagrees. Wiring damaged during the kerfuffle is now arcing and he's covered in bedbugs, advises they wear a scuba suit if they enter the apartment. Kevin rants on, not realizing he's been plunged into the telephonic abyss. Brad puts this one aside to simmer for later in the show.
20:17: Brad smells a rat about a reference check request submitter who just happens to be Facebook friends with a cop linked to a previous prank request. Realizing this probably spells the end of TSPS and a retirement in Guantanamo, Brad does it anyway.
21:45: Roy's intended prankee Jessica no longer works at Queens Tower but the guy there helpfully doxes her before hanging up on Roy mid sentence. Roy calls back to let the guy know how useless he is. Jessica is dodging her phone though - another one for later.
23:37: Pouring a big bottle of rubbing alcohol into a noisy mixer is a sure way to fix it.
24:16: Brad checks in on the photography mob, either they're deleting posts or nobody's mobbing them.

28:10: Kevin (now Greg) calls back Barnes apartments from earlier. The lady there smells a rat and wants 'real' information. Greg, amused that he tricked them to enter someone's apartment, gloats and gets the cold hang-up. Greg calls right back in 'Hey, remember the time I tricked you...' mode, but realising he's through to someone new goes again to tell her about all the mishaps he's having. This new lady is smart though and sees through the ruse. These people really don't see the funny in Greg's antics.
30:46: Employee at some food place wanders off to find Nicole who's checked in. Roy is great at vague descriptions. Another employee picks up the call and Roy is really not helping them to find her - "Who knows? Nobody knows" repeats Roy. Cryptic clues to Nicole's identity and instructions to dance around are given but Roy is told to be professional.
33:58: Scott has checked in at Starbucks but he's not there it seems. Corporate Office Greg gives many F&%*$ and gets the girl's employee number for good measure. More F&%*$ are given.
36:10: Greg (from Oak View Apartments in Green Bay) finally gets to Jessica to do his tenant reference check. She's instantly on the defensive, Greg calls her out for being full of poop and sleeping with the guy he's doing the check for. Jessica is really not happy about this, less so when Greg asks a bit of insider info about the microwave his tenant took when he left there.
39:08: Alana (who Kevin calls Jamie) is in the middle of her eyebrows service but Kevin needs to tell her about the baby she's having, it's important. Alana doesn't know Kevin, but it's OK as he's from the corporate office - they're the ones who put the microchip in her head. Kevin wants to talk eyebrows but this is all too much for Alana who just draws a total blank.
41:32: Roger's ventured into the tunnels through the trapdoor he found under the carpet in his apartment and now he's lost. Amy wants to help, but seems a bit lost at what to do and just wants to pass him off on 911, but Roger's fallen out with them since 'the incident'. All Roger wants is for her to lower his boombox into the tunnels so he can backtrack. Amy wishes Roger the best of luck but washes her hands of it.
48:20 Alana from the nails place earlier has deleted her check in.
48:55 Gary from the gym calls Aksper's computer place next door to tackle them about the botnet malware they've installed on his computers. These guys want to come over and help him but Gary (who's now become Roger) doesn't trust them and just wants to know how to fix it himself. Roger (who's now shifted from the gym to the cleaning place) just wants help but they don't see this.
54:09: Captain Janks may have struck again with an alternative theory on MH370. Sounds like Howard Stern's fault as always.
56:23: Gary from the glazing company's HR calls employee Ryan out for creeping on people. Ryan is really confused about this, but Gary (who then morphed into Roger) is now Cesar who just wants a job. But Ryan is really not impressed by his ruse.
