A recent forum post motivated me to create a new torrent of everything PLA has ever done. Thanks to the nonstop Phone Show episodes, the torrent is now up to 15 gigs. You’ll also get every episode of the PLA Radio podcast, the Big Beef Bueno podcast, and thousands of prank calls, pictures and text. Download it right away and seed it for as long as you possibly can! And later this year when I try to sell a prank call album, be sure to laugh at me and remind me that I already gave it all away for free.
You might also be interested in the torrent I put up last year that contains every prank call album I have. There’s a lot of good stuff in there. Download my prank call torrent.
And speaking of prank calls, I’ve created a new page on phonelosers.org of the PLA’s prank calls. On this page you’ll find all the categories of prank calls available on phonelosers.org, with samples and links to each section. I tried to make the samples the best of each section, but you should let me know if you think something else belongs there instead of what I’ve put up. I’m too old to be making important decisions like this!
Every year or so, I unleash a torrent unto the world, containing everything the PLA has ever done on it. This year the size has doubled to 10 gigs of PLA videos, text files, pictures, songs, skits and prank calls. You’ll also get every episode of The Phone Show and PLA Radio. Here is the link for you:
Also, during my fit of torrent creating today, I made another torrent of all the prank call albums I have. So if you have time to listen to about 2.4 gigs of additional prank calls once you’re done with all the PLA material, here’s the link:
In other news…the PLA Book is on track to be released before Winter. The finishing touches are going into it now, so you may as well go ahead and preorder the book by going to www.phonelosers.org/store/ where you’ll save a few bucks off the regular price and you’ll receive your copy about a week before anyone else gets it. For now, the $3.00 shipping price is good for all countries.
If you’re sick of reading all this content on phonelosers.org for free then have I got a deal for you! Very soon you’ll be able to purchase your very own Phone Losers of America book that contains a tiny fraction of the amount of content you can find on this site and you’ll get to pay for it!
The PLA book has been finished for a while now and the finishing touches are going into it. Chapters are being proofread, pages formatted, covers designed and pictures added. If all goes well, the book should be available long before this year is over. The book will contain stories based on the original PLA issues, such as the Dino story, Fred Meyer, the Boulder News Frenzy, revenge and more. All of it has been rewritten for the book so you’ll only think you’re reading the same shit that you’ve been reading here for the past 16 years. There are also a few new items in the book that you hopefully haven’t heard of. For a somewhat complete chapter list, visit the PLA book page or to talk about the book project in the PLA Forums, click here.
Here’s the part where I need your help. At the beginning of each chapter, below the chapter title and before the chapter actually starts, there is a quote about the PLA. These quotes aren’t necessarily related to the content in the chapter, but they’re all about some aspect of what makes the PLA awesome or why a particular person loves the PLA. Like this one and this one. I have enough quotes for about 10 chapters, but I need about 10 more of them. Say something great or witty about the PLA and you just might make it into the book.
The first few quotes I used were from this thread on the PLA Forums, so reading that might give you an idea of what I’m looking for. You can post your quote there, or post it in the comments below. Or you can email them directly to me.
If there’s something you’d like to see in the book or you have any other ideas for it or maybe if you want to contribute some artwork or anything else, you can post your ideas here or email them to me and hopefully it won’t be too late. Keep an eye on this page, though, because the book will be here very soon. No really, I mean it this time!
In between writing awesome songs about PLA and awesome songs not about the PLA, Trevelyn has found time to code a PLA game for the Nintendo DS. Not only do you get to hear the PLA Radio theme song on it, but you get to draw on it, play a cactus game and play red and blue box tones. All you need is an Acekard and you can download it from weaknetlabs.com. Here’s a video, showing how it all works:
You can click here to talk about Trevelyn’s game in the PLA Forums, or go to weaknetlabs.com to download this game.
It’s been a couple years since I made a torrent of the PLA Media Pack and put it up for download. Last time I did this, the “DVD” was a mere 2.5 gigs. Now it’s more than double that size, thanks to all the videos, PLA Radio and Phone Shows we’ve done since then.
So click here and use your favorite bittorrent client to download all of our stuff for free. You’ll get hundreds of PLA prank calls, text files, videos, pictures, and lots more.
You can help us share the love by leaving it seeded for awhile after you’ve downloaded it, to help others get it quicker. And if you have a spare moment, list this torrent on your favorite bittorrent site to help spread the gospel of PLA.
As mentioned in the most recent episode of PLA Radio, RBCP is doing a weekly hour-long show on Party 934 called The Phone Show. It’s on each Tuesday morning at 2am Eastern time. Listen each week for live phone calls, music and whatever else we feel like doing for an hour. Visit www.phonelosers.org/phoneshow for more information on the show.
Over the past few years, a lot of music has been created in the name of the PLA. So today, I created this page to showcase these songs. My hope is that listening to this music will inspire even more people to write songs about the PLA, so our “Original Motion Picture Soundtrack” will be more than just 7 tracks long. Because really, who’s going to purchase our CD for $17.99 plus tax when there’s only 7 tracks on it??
Track 01: Guilty Deter This is the first official song ever recorded for the PLA, if you don’t include our old 90′s dance mixes. RBCP wrote the lyrics to this song in January 2005 and included them in UPL issue #29. Shortly after the issue of UPL was released, Rob T. Firefly released this version of the song.
The song is about a 17-year-old character named Deter who wants to be a phone phreak but his conscience keeps interfering with his ideas. (You might remember a guy named Deter from a few of the old PLA issues.) This song is a parody of Guilty Conscience by Eminem and Dr. Dre.
Track02: What’s The Difference? This song was included in PLA Radio Episode #3, which was released on February 25th, 2006. The episode revolved around all the fun you could have with Deaf Relay Operators. The lyrics were written by RBCP and the song was performed by a deaf relay operator. It’s a parody of the song called What’s The Difference by Dr. Dre.
Track 04: linear This song was written by both linear and RBCP, each writing most of their own parts of the song. It was written in the early 2000′s, then finished up by RBCP and published in UPL issue #29 in January 2005. RBCP recorded the song in July 2006, playing both the part of linear and RBCP. It was featured in PLA Radio Episode #10 on July 22nd, 2006.
Track 05: PLA Radio Cactus Intro This song is usually played at the beginning of episodes of PLA Radio and was originally played in the May 14th, 2006 episode. The original song is called Squeeze 1st Jay-Z. The various people saying “Cactus” are professional voice artists that RBCP tricked into sending sample work to him.
Track 06: Mildred Monday This song was written by RBCP in 1997 and performed by RBCP on episode #16 of PLA Radio on March 15th, 2008. It features some classic old-school PLA characters, such as Dino Allsman, Jim Bayless and Mildred Monday. It’s a parody of a 1980′s song called Manic Monday by The Bangles.
There are a few more, such as the 2 dance mixes that were done in the 1990′s by Calimar and some other guy. I’ll have to add those to our new song page soon too. Maybe there’s some songs that I’m forgetting about too. You can remind me of anything I’ve forgotten by contacting me.
And if you’d like your own PLA song to appear on the song page, follow these simple steps…
In return, you’ll feel really cool for being on our song page. If the song goes beyond awesome, RBCP will probably send you a PLA stickers or some buttons or maybe even a PLA t-shirt. Your song might even be featured on PLA Radio, which is listened to by thousands of people. And having a song on our song page will constantly expose new people to your music. And that’s what really matters, right?
A couple weeks ago we randomly choose another winner for the Myspace Tshirt contest, but were too lazy to post about him. Today we chose the latest winner. The winners are…

Congratulations, both of you! You’ve won a shirt, some stickers, and a PLA DVD. RBCP will be showing up at your door very soon with a film crew to hand you all of this great PLA stuff personally, just like Ed McMahon does!
If you haven’t won the contest yet, you’ve still got the next 15 days to curse RBCP for rigging the votes and yell at him because you think his random number generator script favors everyone but YOU! If you haven’t entered the contest yet, then you should. You still have as much chance to win as anyone else does.
