i can't believe this is still a thing. i was reminded of LPC today and hadn't thought about it/him for probably 15 years.

Yeah! He has such a weird way of emphasizing things, it's hilarious. I love the epic Radio Shack call where he asks the guy what his title is and follows up with "...and your duties include?"
He has a definite Billy Murray/Joel Hodgson deadpan quality.

ok so this podcast is an interview with a guy about his interview with LPC. this documentary style has been bothering me for a while (and this is probably an entirely different thread), but what's the deal with narrators and reporters injecting themselves into the narrative? "so not gonna happen" podcast becomes about the narrator's journey to find the truth about wayne. in the vivian maier doc, why exactly am i watching the narrator going through airport security to board a plane bound for a place where she spent some time?
who do we have to thank for this? moore? herzog?

He released a new triple disc set this month that sold out within 10 minutes, plus he was selling the master tapes to his early discs for like $200 each. For a moment I was considering it, like "what a conversation piece!," then I realized nobody would possibly care except for me and a couple other sociopath loner comedy nerds

Always found the Alex Trebek calls heartwarming - Trebek is so nice and seemed like he actually secretly got a kick out of it, genuinely curious and interested to talk to random people from around the country, even if he's kind of acting annoyed. Like this one where when the phone rings again he immediately goes "lets wait and see who picks up".

admittedly when he died one of my first thoughts was sympathy for LPC cuz he must've considered him a friend at this point
― frogbs, Friday, 12 March 2021 17:59 (three years ago) link
Kind of a tense moment on the new one where what sounds like a 7 year old picks up, and I'm praying he doesnt fuck with a little kid and freak him out and make him upset. But LPC seamlessly modulates his routine and the kid immediately gets into the spirit and starts having a blast yelling into the phone and answering silly questions and it ends up being very adorable.

Longmont used to be a cow town, now it's practically a suburb of Boulder.
― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Wednesday, 5 April 2023 22:36 (one year ago) link
started listening to the last few I missed, he's just as funny as ever though oftentimes a little more conceptual, for better or worse
the moment OEO mentions above is cute - I was a bit nervous about it as well but it's actually pretty cool, because for once he found someone who's taking him seriously, it's a really fun conversation
but the ones I really like are "Gentlemen's Quarters" and "Skipper's Housewarming" on 18, because he manages to make both ladies laugh uncontrollably which I think catches him off guard and causes him to break character a bit. one of them even offers to come over, and *not* because she wants to kick his ass! I don't think that's ever happened on an LPC album before
