This episode covers the fine art of picking up store phones while you’re in a Wal-Mart so you can talk to customers who are calling in. The calls in this episode took place on Black Friday, when it was entirely too busy for employees to notice RBCP talking on the phones.

Something I forgot to mention in this episode is that it’s easy to locate Wal-Mart store phones by looking at the support poles up near the ceiling. Poles that have phones on them are wrapped with blue tape. Poles that have fire extinguishers on them are wrapped with red tape. And to get on the all-store page, you need to dial #96.
There’s a whole page on having fun with store phones located at www.phonelosers.org/article/storephones/. It covers fun things to do in stores and things to dial on all kinds of different store phones. And then there’s our Wal-Mart page, which has even more answered calls and other Wal-Marty funness.
I made a video version of this episode a few days after it was released. As of this writing, it’s been watched 10,000 times on YouTube and over 105,000 times on Ebaums. It’s also been linked from dozens of blogs and forums. Not bad for just a week. Thanks again, Black Friday shoppers!
If you’ve ended up here from the video, be sure to listen to the podcast too since it’s got more calls, longer calls, and explains things slightly better than on the video.

PLA Radio is fucking awesome.
And for that, I forgive the fact that it takes at least a year before another episode comes out. RBCP is awesome, though. He’s like a little kid when he gets ahold of a Walmart phone.
Also, you guys should come check out my lowly site sometime – http://www.prehack.org
Later.

Love that you included the full “I shop at Walmart” mp3 at the end… it’s close to impossible to find that anywhere now. Cacaman’s youtube channel is empty now for some reason. Fucking love that song.
