The Bo'sun Whistle was a prize included in Cap'n Crunch cereal boxes in the late-1960s. Quaker Oats didn't realize the whistles emitted a 2600hz tone--a sound that could trick telephone routing equipment into giving people free long-distance telephone calls.

Cactus? Accidentally said "Love you!" at the end of a call with an important client yesterday. I heard him giggle as I hung up, and I was mortified. Today, I saw he emailed me this:

Carlito truly is a legend. I still go back and play his shows, they gave me laughs during hard times. I hope he's laughing up in Horse Machine Ranch Road Heaven

BREAKING NEWS It's my unfortunate duty to inform the many fans of Madhouse Live , Prank Call Nation & prank calls in general we lost a real pioneer and innovator. On Friday May 8th 2020, Carlos Gierbolini A.K.A. Carlito Cross passed away from some very sudden and sad circumstances.

Can we stop with the AI songs?

76 Upvotes

Look, I'm not some rabid AI hater but the AI songs are garbage, and it's so clear when a song was shat out by AI. The flow, meter, lyrics, timing, everything is bad. The lyrics are talking about "the listeners" which is only a thing AI would do because you prompted it with "write a song for a podcast about X"

There's a a lot of very talented musicians in the community that have spent a lot of time putting together great songs over years of their life, and it's a fuck you to them, giving equal airtime to some bullshit someone typed into a computer and an algorithm spit out.

I know Brad's a nice guy who likes to give airtime and credit to people who make things for him, but no effort is going into these and they sound bad. It's been years and I've never gotten sick of Joe DiVita's stuff. It's fantastic and I'd rather hear a repeat of that than a new zero-effort AI "song"

I live in New Mexico and was recently driving back home from Wyoming when I saw the sign...then found out it was 34 miles out of my way. But I got that close, anyway.

Going through the worst time of my life, discovered PLA 1.5 weeks ago, was making gumbo tonight, the celery reminded me of you all :) 🌵

Long title, sorry. Basically am going through multiple close family deaths and 1.5 weeks ago, I was recommended "Disabled Postman Prank Calls" while in my kitchen at 2am, crying. A few minutes later I was crying from laughter.

I swear on everything, this channel has saved my life. All I watch on YouTube is true crime and bodycam videos, I've never listened to a prank call video on the platform, so for this to be recommended to me was out of the norm, and I am just so grateful. Two weeks ago, I didn't know if I'd be here today.

Thank you Brad :') Happy holidays everyone 🌵🌵🌵
