Sorry wrong thread!

Heh - "Wig Out at Jagbags" totally sounds like it COULD be an LPC thing

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.

Kills me everytime.

tandy makes the goggle

Bookshop one is amazing... also where do bookshops stay open 10 am to midnight, I want to move there.

"I don't know what your hours are but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

That line has been popping into my head regularly this week and I always start laughing at the inflection in the second part. And "What's your level of involvement there, Charlie?"

Hahaha. Man bumps of this thread send me down a rabbit hole.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVXPBitB2rY

He sounds so much like Bill Murray here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnEQPb79piA

"I don't know what your hours are but it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Stuck in my head now too :) Same with 'plain as day':

'Cause I'm fired up'
'What's got you fired up?'
'Well you tell a man you ain't gonna help him with his repair and your sign says repair. Plain as day'

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.

"I've got a box of centipedes here for ya"
"uhhh...I didn't order any centipedes...you must have the wrong number"
"I'll whup your ass"

*answering machine beeps*
"what's that beepin'?"
"uh that's just some rope movin' around"

i think my favorite call of all time is super nintendo (pt 1, pt 2)

the way he starts to empathize with the kid then all of a sudden switches back to his empty aggressive threats is classic. also lol at the dad's limp attempts at trying to match his fightin words

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?

NPR?

*answering machine beeps*
"what's that beepin'?"
"uh that's just some rope movin' around"

YES! That kills me. And the shipping guy's reaction later is so weird.

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

man I ordered these guys on the strength of like an MRR review circa '96 and totally didn't feel it but now I'm listening to Swamp Donkey and fuckin' dying

^^

"I'm not sitting up here playing whackamole fella"

we listened to this on tour for like 6 days straight, so good

If we can't get some moisturization going here I'm gonna need some reimbursement

"Who's the shipper?"

"Peacock Hut."

"No."

"Oh, yeah."

"I'll be talking to whoever I need to talk to, to get it resolved"
"You'll be talking to the pavement once you're lying up right upon it"

loool

"I got a little bit of it on tape"
"Oh we'll play it at your funeral, how about that"

Guys

First 13 minutes or so are one call and it's fucking extraordinary. Like I get the feeling at times the guy is fucking with LPC but I'm never quite sure.

'I'm Wilder'
'Like Van Wilder?'

Yes, this one is positively amazing.

'No one in Alabama acts like this. Ye got me blood pressure right up!'

Ohhhh boy, guy is serious about his country music!

(Stamina on this guy! The sound effects would've driven me nuts on this one, on the phone)

('It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter! crept into my vocab way too confident tbh)

"You drive a Humvee? How you like it?"

"You're not gonna like it when you're lying in back going to the clinic."

if me and me got in a fight i would win

do we think he researches his victims on social media before calling nowadays (e.g. buttcheek knowledge)
