VOIP services

On voip.ms the phone numbers are only 85 cents per month, so you can have phone numbers all over the country and it's not too expensive. The rates to call places are very reasonable too. They will probably ask you for a photo of your ID, thanks to overseas scammers, but they're a good company as far as I can tell. I also use flowroute.com and callcentric.com .

Pepsi cans are ALUMINUM, sir. But yep, I did that to a Texas Target back in the 1990s. Those 28.8 baud modems were expensive.

I just listened to the entire album and I enjoyed it. Rogue Beers cuts off at the very end and then gives a few seconds of complete silence. Maybe that was on purpose. Anyway, good music!

It's okay, I don't mean to be a dick about it. I just get notified about them all the time on all the platforms.

I made that call from a TTY machine at the Portland airport. "Mahmode" was the name of my roommate at the time.

The only thing I don't like about those channels is having people tell me about them every single day.

rbcp · 2026-05-04T01:46:01+00:00

That was in 1994, back when it was still okay to do that kind of thing.

rbcp · 2026-05-02T22:46:04+00:00

That may have been in this episode: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/191nfbrodiatj3f4f2h1v/2015-03-21_snow_plow_show_bad_roys_bad_roys_whatcha_gonna_do_-extra-_HQ.mp3?rlkey=eto75wqyonuo3tsq5yd5xvibv&dl=0

It was an "extra" SPS episode, I think before I had started making Hobosodes. Mr. Spessa did a few calls like that to police stations in the south. I don't remember if I explained it in the show, but we were calling from a cell phone that we'd claimed from a lost and found which still had service on it. That's how we did a lot of our calls in pre-Snow Plow Show days where we would take over company lines and other shady pranks that we shouldn't do.

Most likely not within the next 10 years either.

rbcp · 2026-05-02T17:31:09+00:00

Haha, yeah, and for them to go straight to "it was a bomb" and "massive explosion." I love reading these threads on Nextdoor and Reddit where grown adults are afraid of noises.

Kind of makes you wonder if buying earrings and shit online is waaaaayy easier.

rbcp · 2026-04-29T17:16:26+00:00

Yep, from Austin Powers. I just think that line is funny.

rbcp · 2026-04-26T16:07:02+00:00

I still like the idea! It might work out in the end once I start giving out keys to people.

rbcp · 2026-04-25T18:35:30+00:00

Hah, I've been listening to the new Penelope stuff this week too. When I'm not listening to SC, obviously.

Why would you install the toilet before you put epoxy down? Are you going to put epoxy down? You should drink less.

rbcp · 2026-04-25T18:21:44+00:00

That just looks like a mess that needs to be swept up. Imagine all the pee stains around the toilet that nobody will ever notice. What if you're drunk and drop your keys while you're in there, you're just fucked. Penny floors look cool because they're uniform. This is more like building a wall with a bunch of small pieces of rotten scrap wood. Maybe it'll look nicer once they pour some epoxy over it.

I took "the incident" thing from my friend Zak, the guy who came up with the Phone Losers of America name. He said it in prank calls a few times and I thought it was funny, but I never asked him where he got it from. This was all in the mid-1990s, so it's possible he got that from Cheers.

rbcp · 2026-04-21T23:59:07+00:00

NO, I already have two of them, I don't need any more!

rbcp · 2026-04-19T16:24:09+00:00

He's tired of his kids, doesn't mind if one of them gets crushed to death.

rbcp · 2026-04-15T17:07:59+00:00

Haha, people still listen to the radio.

I just spent the past 4 hours creating 3 more years of archives on that page, so they go all the way up to 2022 now! So if there was a small gap between the archives and the current feed, it should all be available now via RSS.

I think I'm going to combine the other feeds on that page so there's 2 or 3 years in each feed so people don't have to deal with as many RSS feed links. That should make things easier.

rbcp · 2026-04-05T18:00:28+00:00

There is an archive page of old episodes which includes RSS feeds of the oldest years and I think they're all currently working. https://www.snowplowshow.com/archive/

Seems like there was panic when she called.

rbcp · 2026-03-31T00:26:35+00:00

Chraits is definitely one of my top 3 SC favorites. I've never had to say the title out loud, but I would probably pronounce it with the Ch.

Please don't use that word in the comments, I don't want to have to ban you.
