luncheon meat posted:I will always love him. He's been doing live shows lately too The_Continental posted:Tell me about this LPC is the GOAT I went to one of his live appearances last year at a tiny record store in LA. It was one of the oddest shows I have attended. LPC has way more fans than I realized. People were lined up down the street. The store was packed and there was a crowd peering in the window waiting for something to start. A rumor was circulating that Alex Trebek was about to make an appearance. For those who don’t know, Trebek is a long suffering victim of LPC calls. I couldn’t see or hear poo poo from where I was but a corny setup happened where a guy pretending to be Alex Trebek started arguing with a guy pretending to be a lawyer representing the real Alex Trebek who demanded that the even be shut down for false representation of Alex Trebek. Or something. A lot of people left and I was able to jostle my way into the room. Then they screened a 20 minute teaser for an LPC documentary in progress. It looks funny as poo poo. Then the main event, Longmont Potion Castle calls the record store and he’s live from loving Colorado or wherever in the room with us and people are going apeshit. He can hear his audience and he’s talking to us through his wacky delay effect. He’s doing a Q&A and he’s just super funny and and never ever gives a straight answer, just like his calls. There was such a confused and amused vibe in the room it was great. He took numbers from audience members and tried to call people’s moms and stuff but there were a few no-answers. Someone in the crowd said they had Ron Jeremy’s phone number (because L.A.) Sure enough, beloved porn star Ron Jeremy is talking to Longmont Potion Castle about how they met one time before in the park and they should meet up and get coffee some time. R.J. was a good sport. I left feeling like I had just seen Metallica.

This one is a masterpiece. The hosts know they are being pranked but LPC just keeps going and they end up spellbound by his extravagant bird nonsense. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHUojNdcKwk There’s a fan on YouTube who makes MS Paint style animations of classic LPC calls. I like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_7-mG3F2QMY

I can’t find it right now because I don’t remember what the title or album is, but one of my favorites is where the victim is some college bro who legit believes LPC is one of his friends loving with him. He’s playing along and laughing for awhile thinking it’s his friend Pete but at some point he asks again “who the gently caress are you? where did we meet?”. LPC changes to a deeper creepier voice and says “that bathroom that one time... at the salvage yard”. You can hear the exact moment where the guy realizes it’s not actually his friend and he gets scared and hangs up.

I’m always amazed by how many people never catch on that he’s using a voice effect even as he starts sounding like Max Headroom in space, wildly fluctuating between chipmunk and Satan and they still think they just have a “bad connection” and earnestly try to make sense of what he’s saying. Also some people really need to settle down with threatening to shoot someone the second they get annoyed over the phone. Sometimes I worry about the safety of actual UPS drivers showing up at these angry lunatic’s homes.

I wonder what the laws actually are when it comes to harassment in the form of prank calls. People are convinced that their threat to call the police department and the phone company will be a deterrent and LPC will absolutely be arrested and jailed if he calls again, and they believe “tracing the call” is a thing. As far as I can tell, he’s never gotten in any trouble in 20 some years and laughs off every threat. I just can’t imagine any police department anywhere giving a single gently caress, even though a lot of his calls taken at face value are straight up trying to scam people into giving him money.

As someone who likes guitar pedals and effects units, I discovered the model his uses to glitch up his voice is the Digitech RDS 8000 “Time Machine”. I’ve had no luck finding one for sale, it must be pretty rare. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQFIdMmrYQ0 Good to see a few LPC references in the comments.

I’d have to look for it but there was one call in particular where Longmont was on with a telemarketer who must have called him first. The guy was trying to sell some bullshit supplements or something. LPC played it like he was having an episode. The conversation kept getting weirder but the telemarketer showed himself to be such a loving predatory piece of poo poo. He kept condescendingly asking LPC if he was okay and if he forgot to take his medication. LPC kept it going like he had no idea what the guy was saying but the telemarketer kept relentlessly trying to get the credit card number of a man who he seemed to truly believe was having a live mental breakdown over the phone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9USR4w0orxQ It’s on vidya. We’ve even got audya. This one goes on a long time but the victim is great because he’s dumb enough that the realization he’s being pranked never even crosses his mind but he thinks he’s brilliantly disputing the accusations with iron clad alibis of how he couldn’t possibly have been buck wild in an elevator, hootin’ and hollerin’ between January 2nd and January 12th.

Lol. I think that shitfaced “coding boot camp” graduate girl delivered the best comeback in the history of LPC calls. “If you show up on my lawn with your hose, I’m gonna send 20 boot camp graduates after you and they’re gonna code your rear end so hard you’re never gonna walk again.”

Riptor posted:triple double flip Literally the first thing I said into the mic when I plugged in the effect unit. It actually takes some fine tuning of the settings and a bit of practice to get the effect right. Makes you appreciate what a master LPC is. It’s also great for its intended purpose, just getting real weird with guitar.

I think unlike a lot of LPC calls, he sounds like he knows it’s a prank and is just being a good sport playing the part of the Angry Redneck.

The download time was insanely slow and you have to do it one track at a time lol. I don’t know why he doesn’t use bandcamp. It’s worth it though. There are at least two of my favorite kind of calls where he has the victim laughing their rear end off rather than just screaming obscenities. There’s a few of those as well with one n-bomb. Multiple times he patches people in to poor old Alex Trebek who just sounds loving tired and over it.

For some reason the thought of LPC being an actual person who like everyone else needs to make real phone calls to customer service from time to time and have normal conversations that make sense and resist the urge to ask for a helium socket through a whammy pedal is really funny to me.

This popped up in my YT recommendations today. I didn’t know LPC ever just trolled people in the street, lol. Hare Krishna dude gets mad real quick. It kind of adds to my illusion that maybe LPC really does drive a UPS truck and whoops peoples rear end for real. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYnCvpKeEWw

My favorite thing about that video is the Krishna guy says “you look like a rock star”. I wonder if LPC just has a general longhair rocker look or if he’s literally in some KISS getup or something.
