Brad craps all over Dwight's new PCN show and then backpedals. MediaMonkey is like iTunes without the iTunes.

4:34: Darren from T-Mobile needs to speak to Bronwyn about her $3,800 bill, but she's just really freaked out and it turns out that she just got knocked off her bike and bumped her head. Darren (now Greg) feels bad and confesses that he does prank calls when it's quiet in the office, like now. Greg just has a soft spot for women with concussions.

10:30: Brad reads an old 2010 article about some Foursquare check-in guy who got pranked by 'Roy' and feels all victimized. Brad thinks he may have been guilty of making the prank but doesn't remember it, but thinks one of the original comments on the story is his.

17:49: Clayton's phone has been infected by TheN's Botnet (which Clayton thinks he's heard of before) and John from Cricket support needs him to get it removed as it's placing calls to Nigeria. When quizzed about all that porn which the virus obviously came from, Clayton suddenly remembers lending the phone to his brother (of course). But John can help with the 'peanut butter' virus removal method, which Clayton does a good job of sounding like he's going along with. Still pushing the peanut butter fix, John confesses he's just hungry but that the virus is still real. Brad uses this call to once again demonstrate how bad Cricket Wireless sounds.

26:27: Porn producer Brad has seen Carolyn's sex tape on a revenge porn site and wants her to star in a new movie. Carolyn evidently has a porn role lined up already as she just hangs right up. Brad really likes the idea but can't get anyone else to pick up, so it's a dumb idea.

28:11: Aunt Hellen has Roy's ass cream

31:00: Olga's Walmart phone joke is offensive to blondes

35:28: Joe's neighbor Roger wants him to change the street light out front of his house that's blown and caused Roger trip over all the bikes and junk strewn across Joe's yard when he was jogging by. Joe (who sounds fairly out of it) is up for changing the blown bulb 'tomorrow', but doesn't want to discuss Roger's preference for incandesent vs CFL lamps. Joe now calls BS on the blown bulb, Roger knows better and wants Joe to climb up and put something over the light sensor on top of the pole to troubleshoot it. Roger gets the silent treatment from Joe after this, who now breathes heavily and mumbles from arm's length and wants to meet 'face to face'.

42:40: Guy in Kentucky gets arrested for misdemeanor, orders pizza for the officers while in jail, gets a felony. Brad wants to call the guy but can't find his number.

45:38: Tunein streams are broken.

46:22: The apartment call to Del Prado in TSPS 82 made the apartment manager walk in on naked tenants - Brad LOLs, plays canned applause.

Today’s Roycipients get to experience brand new disrupting technologies such as gaseous forms of water and wireless technologies. This episode is brought to you by FOD87, Amanda D, goby, rhinoknife, Jack S, and James S from Adelaide.

Brad calls homeowners to get them to close their toilet lids to protect their bathrooms from the high pressure experiment he is conducting, tell them their water is going to turn black and goopy, that their water is changing over to gas form, that he is the ice cream truck driver and spouses were winking their buttholes at him, and then gave out his social security number to them. He then asked residents to unplug their light bulbs and appliences to protect them from the wireless electricity the HOA is going to be providing.

Flip All The Switches

In 2010 or 2011, The Phone Show aftershows led to impersonating "the corporate office" to convenience store employees to try and get them to do silly things. Eventually this led to tricking employees into shutting off all the circuit breakers in the store's back room, which cut all power to the store and often ended the phone call because the store clerk was on a cordless phone. It's likely switch flipping causes all kinds of problems with store computers, gas pumps, and other devices.

Legend pioneered a few of these calls, which are probably the 2 most well known switch flipping incidents. One was the call to Pam at Circle K, who nervously did everything Legend told her to do as RBCP continuously tried to sabotage the call with sound effects. The other was Randy at 7-Eleven, who didn't have a cordless phone so he shouted numbers to us from the back room as he hit the switches.

The term "Flip all the switches" came from the online comic strip called Hyperbole And A Half, because it sounded a little like something that was said in the comic. In April 2015, RBCP released a song called Flip All The Switches, to the tune of Abracadabra by The Steve Miller Band. The song featured clips from both Pam and Randy. The lyrics were based around the things Pam said in her call.

Switch flipping has been tried by a lot of prank callers, including Laugh Track Matt , Tabachi (he did a lot of gyms, hoping to get people to flail off their treadmills), Legend, RBCP, and I'm sure a lot of others. The calls are usually done to convenience stores, but it's also happened at Gyms, Subways, and Radio Shacks.
Big Larry

So you’re here to learn a little about Albany, Oregon’s scariest human being? Well you’ve come to the right place. This page is packed full of pictures, sounds and stories of Albany’s #1 citizen, Larry Davis. Next to Albany’s Gary the Retard, Larry is the most famous person living in Albany. The difference is that Larry doesn’t realize it.

Big Larry is a rather long story so prepare yourselves. Big Larry is the type of person that Dino Allsman will someday become. He’s about 6′ tall, has white hair that rarely combed, a big white handlebar mustache, smells really bad and of course, he’s a big-time alcoholic. He’s also a carpenter and takes pride in his power tools. A few years ago he hurt himself on the job so he claims to be “disabled” so that he gets a huge disability check in the mail at the beginning of every month and spends most of it on beer.

RBCP & Colleen met Larry in Albany, Oregon when he moved into their house. (It was a large house where many rooms were rented out.) RBCP & Colleen never liked him to begin with because he kept eating all of their food and didn’t have a job. At the beginning of each month, he got his disability check and was drunk until about the middle of the month. Then he slept in his room for a couple of days to sober up. The last part of his month was spent playing with power tools and building things in his room. Eventually, he remodeled the entire basement of the house and it looked really great. Kinda made RBCP wonder why he was getting a disability check in the mail every month. He could be making twice as much doing this.

Brad's switched web servers and things may be broken still.

3:20: Roger from eBay's collections department calls Cameron to ask when he's planning to pay the $5000 he owes from all the banned and counterfeit items on his account. Cameron admits selling counterfeit headphones but plays dumb about the sex slaves and plutonium. Roger piles on the pressure by threatening to garnish Cameron's wages and repo his car, but dude still tries to insist that he's paid for his crimes (the headphones, not the slaves or plutonium). Cameron's a smart dude and eventually realises his pal must have set him up for a prank.

26:40: Brad muses about the big Jiffy Lube brake light scam. Damn Jiffy Lube, it's because they know he's a trickster.

Michael just thinks he can come get it, seems shocked that there's a finder's fee of $5 per letter, hangs up even though Roy offers to be reasonable and not charge for any junk mail. Roy's just offering a decent public service but Michael sees it as extortion, intends to tattle to the cops. Real mail gets torn live on mic in retaliation.

33:20: Brad considers mentioning all the prank requests he can't get to pick up, just so people don't keep bitchin' at him.

34:01: Gary from the Wal-Mart wants to check Damon's reference and speaks to Michelle at the dairy who laughs awkwardly when she learns that the essay Damon attached to his Wal-Mart application stated she was a god damn f$&£ing nazi who was shagging John the manager. Michelle just seems resigned to the wishes of a disgruntled ex employee being that she get hit by a bus, offers Gary to fax her later (wink wink) but gets rejected.

37:36: Roy from Wal-Mart goes straight for the jugular to quiz manager John at the dairy about Damon but John just wants to bounce him back to HR. John doesn't see himself as a cock sucking mother$%&^er but realises it's Damon's right to think otherwise.

TSPS Episode 565 – Improvised Home Security

This show is brought to you by all the supporters of the show, most of all Buster Casey, JT, Rick B, kuraz, and Mac Uler Degenr Tion. In this one I test out a few home security ideas I’ve been kicking around.

About the computer problems I’m complaining about in this show, I think my studio computer issues might originate from using my old computer’s hard drive when I built a new computer. I didn’t reinstall the OS, just stuck it in there and let it detect the new hardware. That’s my theory anyway. It could also be the massive amount of pornography I watch. All I know is that things are running smoothly now, I didn’t lose any data, and I’ve almost got all my old programs reinstalled. Let’s see how long it lasts.

Last week’s computer issues involved the Asterisk system. That’s the thing that I make and receive phone calls from. I was getting a bunch of errors that I couldn’t make go away, so I finally decided to just update the system since my version of Asterisk was a couple years out of date. There doesn’t seem to be an easy way to do this, so I pretty much had to start over on that one too. I still had all my old system recordings, but I mostly re-recorded all the menus since they were kind of old anyway.

I’m still having problems with my incoming Callcentric lines. Most of the time they connect, but sometimes they claim to be disconnected. That’s my next thing to fix. If you want to give those a try and hack some old answering machines, the number is 505-204-7920. It’s been an annoying few weeks because I hate making the computer machines go, but I think things are just about back to normal. Green lights across the board!

Laugh Track Matt

Laugh Track Matt, also known as Matt Fucking Hillock, began calling into The Phone Show in 2010 and RBCP would often keep him on the phone, saying that he provided a laugh track for the show. Once linear and Spessa disappeared from The Phone Show, Laugh Track Matt became the unofficial co-host and remained until the show ended in 2012.

In 2013, Matt and Zax began their own prank call show called Party Time. Matt's elaborate ruse, often performed on Party Time, is calling back someone after pranking them with "Hello, this is a completely different person."

Matt loves to push people's buttons with his calls. Women are often referred to as either sweethearts or broads. He loves to ask somebody if they want to join a makeout party.

Matt attended the PLA EuroCon in Amsterdam, as well as DefCon 19 in las vegas.

Calls by matt have been recorded for calls of mass confusion but they have not been released yet.

## Trivia

* Matt seems to have an exhaustive knowledge of horror movies. One of his favorite films is The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. He loves to tell a story about meeting one of the actors to portray Leatherface.

* Matt once worked at a gum factory.

* Matt is a fan of the Cisco hold music.

* His favorite dark quote is "jk, it's a stillborn!" but perhaps his most repeated line is "Work is for suckers."

## Mattisms

* Matt likes to go to the reefer store
* Matt thinks you're a good egg.
* Matt likes the cut of your jib.
* Matt refers to women as sweethearts and broads.

Cactus

What's this cactus business?

Brad has been told once or twice that he use the word "cactus" a lot. You might even say the word cactus has turned into the PLA's official catchphrase.  The word comes up often in prank calls and phone mobs, there's an Obey The Cactus sticker, the podcast theme songs have cactus all over them, and people who listen to PLA material often find themselves buying a cactus plant but aren't really sure why.

## History

Back in the very early 1990's, RBCP had a friend named Amigados.  He would call people on the phone and say nothing except for the word cactus, which would confuse the person on the other end of the phone.  He thought the prank was brilliant in its simplicity.  During the years after that, Amigados taught RBCP the various ways of the cactus, like spray painting giant magnets green and cutting them into the shapes of cacti to stick on cars and eventually even getting a cactus tattooed on his arm.

When he wrote those text files called the Phone Losers of America in the mid-1990's, RBCP randomly threw the word cactus in them often, to pay homage to Amigados.  At this point, it's just an inside joke between people who know about PLA.

**But cactus is our war cry and our mascot and probably always will be**.

There's an explanation of cactus that has a little more detail to it in issue #35 of the PLA 'zine.

Show Sponsor: Rick from Ohio

In this episode, RBCP calls fans of a YouTube star named Todrick Hall. Then he calls home owners and tells them that they need to install wheelchair ramps on their homes to comply with the disabilities act. Strangely enough, people are not happy about this.

RBCP calls the post office in the same town at the end of the show so he can pretend to be an annoyed customer. The lady in charge is very confused by the calls she's been getting and finally realizes that RBCP is messing with her and hangs up. This is where the fun starts, because she picks right back up to make a call to city hall. RBCP tricks her by playing a recording of a dial tone, then of ringing, and pretends to be an employee of city hall.

In the first call, RBCP is confused because he's not sure who the lady called, but quickly takes on the part of the mayor's assistant and tells the post lady that not just anyone can talk to someone as important as the mayor. The post lady hangs up and calls back in again, once again reaching RBCP who does a terrible impersonation of Willy from the Touch Tone Terrorists. After talking to Willy, the post lady's mind is officially broken and she takes a few weeks off work to recover.

TSPS Episode 564 – The Latest Prank Line Calls

* Background during the pranks is Regen by My Parents Favorite Music, background during the voicemails is a cover of Unity by The Fat Rat by some guy named Bob, the ending song is Underground Rhapsody by Redbox and the Chilipeppers.
Chad

RBCP often blames work-related mishaps on his co-worker Chad, who is always goofing off and always fucking everything up. Chad is a jokester and never takes his minimum wage job very seriously.

## Name origin

The name Chad didn't originate from anywhere, as far as RBCP can remember. He started using the name Chad for a co-worker during night-time shows probably in 2014 or 2015. The name was probably chosen at random. After using the name a few times, he stuck with it, even though it's a boring name and something like Steve would sound much cooler.

## Update!

We are proud to announce that Chad has once again won Employee of the year at RoyCo Construction! With his dedication, you can guarantee that your new roof WILL NOT leak. Congratulations, Chad!

08-31-2014 - How To Lose Weight The Patterson Way

'Kevin' calls Gym customers to inform them of a brand new contingency 'self-publishing author and manager' Frank Patterson has added to their Gym contract.

At 26:50 (26:35 non-podcast) The legendary 'Roy the Retarded Boy' call appears. Kevin calls Soria and her husband and changes his name to Roy mid-call.
The Snow Plow Show

The Snow Plow Show is a prank call show hosted by RedBoxChiliPeper. It's released at least twice a week and features new prank phone calls in each episode.

This show originally began as a half-hour long video series that was posted on YouTube. The show featured prank calls by RBCP, Carlito, Rappy McRapperson, Samantha and others. After 3 episodes, RBCP realized that making a video based show about prank calls was way too much work and interfered with his true passion of smoking weed and boozing it up all day, so he quit doing it. The video show began on September 5th, 2012 and the last episode was released on November 14th, 2012.

After taking a few months off, RBCP began doing live audio shows again. Beginning in January 2013, RBCP began doing random shows on both PLA's and Madhouse Live's shoutcast streams. The names of the shows varied each time with titles like The Madhouse Pre-show, 'Roy and Staci in the Morning', 'The Brent Westwood Precum Show', 'The Generic Tortilla Chips and 4-Loko Show', and 'The RBCP Show'. None of these shows have anything to do with The Snow Plow Show.

The first Snow Plow Show in the new format happened on May 28th, 2013. It was called While My Keytar Gently Weeps for some reason. While it's not identified as The Snow Plow Show in the show, in the following show that happened 3 days later, RBCP did a morning show and said, "I forgot to mention on the last show, this is called The Snow Plow Show now." Shows have happened at least once a week since then.

The Snow Plow Show got its name from a comic strip at ToothpasteForDinner.com with the caption: "*For Sale. Snow Plow. Works good. Should rhyme but doesn't.*" This was explained on May 4, 2015, Snow Plow Show episode named Adult Afternoon Daycare (*Listen*).

Since 2014 RBCP has made 'Secret Shows' of The Snow Plow Show available to members of the 'Elite Cactus Squad' via monthly contributions. They include high-quality audio feeds, exclusive episodes, and occasional videos of the live shows.

Calls of Mass Confusion

Calls of Mass Confusion is a video-based prank call show, conceived by Jiad in 2015. It features phone calls by various prank callers in the community, but the twist is that Jiad and his crew film the results of the prank call with hidden cameras. Pranks take place in public areas, such as shopping malls, convenience stores, on people's lawns, and wherever else Jiads crew can get away with filming.

In October 2016 Jiad and his cameramen were arrested when recording a Calls of mass confusion prank, Jiad spent 5 days in jail, was raped twice and he also joined a racist backstreet gang. This has caused further recordings to be stopped.

On The Snow Plow Show October 7th, 2016 Jiad said calls of mass confusion would be returning after some time has passed and is only currently on hiatus as they have enough content recording to make 20 episodes.

Calls featuring Laugh Track matt have been recorded but are yet to be released.

## Cameras

The primary cameras used by Jiad and his crew are Mobius cameras hidden stealthily inside of Slurpee cups. They hold the cups in their hands while they walk around, pointing them in the direction of whatever prank call action is taking place.

Other cameras used during the pranks have included spy cam glasses, which are thick framed glasses with built in cameras that require the wearer's head to remain very still. Jiad has also recorded with his cell phone camera, and a small Mobius camera in his hand. He also runs a digital audio recorder during the pranks, to capture audio that the cameras might miss.

## The Intro

The Calls of Mass Confusion theme song was composed by Bonecage. The phones were purchased and destroyed on camera by Jiad. The gun shooting the phones is a Nerf Water Glock 600.

3:47: Corporate office Carl helps Jiffy Lube fix a computer problem and just happen to get some customer info along the way. Brad thinks being able to get country wide customer info is great, muses how he'd plot revenge to end the person who cuts him off in future.

7:22: Jennifer is not amused to hear from Lucky that one of his Jiffy Lube co-workers peed in her car's coolant. Lucky explains that urine makes good coolant but she thinks it's gross and talks over him. Jennifer is real smart and thinks she can change her own coolant, despite Lucky reminding her that she's a woman.

11:02: Bridget is too busy driving to pull over and speak properly to Lucky who's called to confess another coolant urine accident. Lucky just wants her to accept his apology, damnit but it's hard to do when talking through someone's cell on the floor of their car.

13:24: Jiffy Lube customer Michelle is confused how her air filter got replaced with a pile of leaves, despite Lucky explaining that leaves are basically the same thing. Michelle rants that she spent $25 for nothing but really doesn't get it. Lucky tries to smooth things over but loses her after confessing yet another coolant mishap.

19:00: Phonelosers.org is labelled as evil on some company networks.

20:43: Roy wants to return a desk lamp to Smiths Food & Drug but employee Corey isn't sure about the returns policy nor if a box filled with poop in place of the lamp would be acceptable. Employee Heather seems equally flexible, thinks Roy may even hit it lucky and get away with returning a box of poo. Roy's plan to run the poo scam to steal elCheapo iPads gets shot down when he learns the boxes aren't shrink wrapped - seems that shrink wrap machine he bought is useless. Roy hits on Heather but she backpedals.

26:46: Roy tries round three with Smiths employee Kevin but he seems to realise the whole thing's a ruse, despite Roy being sketchier about details this time.

29:57: Brad reminisces about committing product return fraud with El Jefe back in the 90's. The ensuing prank call follows.

39:40 Roy from AT&T informs Jerry about TheN's Botnet virus that has infected his phone. Jerry and wife stall Roy to call back in a few, by which time Jerry has realised that Roy is full of poop.

This show is the first 320kbps HQ upload. Much of the intro portion is Brad talking about audio quality. The song 'Man Meat' gets played in full HQ glory.

16:37: Jag TV's old Tai-Kwondo instructor Grandmaster Stevens is down to teach Roy's paraplegic, tourettes suffering, dwarf son Derick some moves, but is offended by Roy's insistence that he teach the kid along with the regular classes. Stevens is unimpressed by Roy's threats to 'straighten him out' with moves learned from Senesei Doug.

20:37: Roy changes tack and threatens to sue Grandmaster Stevens instead. Stevens is still unimpressed by Roy.

21:28: Lindy's customer Janine is sitting creepily at the window giving snake eyes to passers by. District manager Roy tries to educate her why both this and leaving Yelp reviews is not on, but Janine storms off in a huff. Roy feels remorse and takes to Twitter as the Punked production team to ~~make things worse~~ make amends.

28:19: Casey wants the world to know they're having lunch at Skyline Grill. Roy learns that Casey can be a guy's name too. Calling from 'the office', Roy suggests a bib as the cameras show that Casey is unable to eat without splattering Coney dog on his clothes. Roy isn't impressed by Casey's attitude.

32:00: The Swarm app might be the new best thing to find Roycipients.

32:48: Swarm is crap, Yelp rules.

34:38: Janine from earlier finds out she was Punked by Ashton Kutcher. Brad is filled with remorse over making her cry. (Fun trivia time: Later, in TSPS 79 Brad finds out from a listener that Janine found out about the Snow Plow Show, so all is good).

36:55: Roy from Booster Juice calls McDonalds to make a reference check on Heather. Mr. McManager seems surprised that Heather left after being caught stealing french fries, insists that none of the managers there are 'cock gobblers'. Mr. McManager hangs up rather than discuss Heather's position of Gloryhole attendant.

40:41: Roy calls Booster Juice on the next step of the Heather reference check goose chase. Surprised that Heather has quit there already, he then remembers that her current job application stated Booster Juice manager Nicole was a big stupid cock gobbler. Employee Bree disagrees with this.

42:29: Finally reaching Heather, McDonalds regional manager Greg has questions about her sketchy $230,000 tax return and 325 children. Heather plays dumb, but Greg also has the CCTV footage from when she stole their ice cream machine. Greg concludes that Heather is a little criminal with a car which beeps annoyingly. The worst kind of criminal.

45:42: Booster Juice manager Nicole is apparently suffering from amnesia and doesn't remember Heather stealing a smoothie machine nor setting the store on fire. Seems that Nicole is a honey bager who is nonplussed about being called a cock gobbler.
Red box (phreaking)

A red box is a phreaking  device that generates tones to simulate inserting coins in pay phones, thus fooling the system into completing free calls. In the United States, a nickel is represented by one tone, a dime by two, and a quarter by a set of 5 tones. Any device capable of playing back recorded sounds can potentially be used as a red box. Commonly used devices include modified Radio Shack tone dialers, personal MP3 players, and audio-recording greeting cards.
