Before there was Jorch, there was a little cable company in New Jersey. Listen here and here. Enjoy.


That is some very funny shit. What is the back story on the first one with the bill?

Fake accounts were created with the help of an employee. Because they appeared to be legitimate accounts, the customer service ladies had no reason to think these were prank calls. Apparently the real calls they'd get weren't too far from these anyway.

Old browser. Update yo shit!
I can't access these either, b, using IE 9.  Most everyone agrees IE 10 is a downgrade from IE 9 and I'm not goin' there.  As you said last night, I could download Chrome (hate!) or Firefox, though I haven't found it necessary before.  Will check it out with the Kindle Fire later and let you know if that works.  Weird, but sometimes amazon's bastard Silk browser works on sites where IE doesn't.

Alright, maybe I can figure out how to download & put them somewhere else. I haven't used that POS site in years.

I upgraded to 9, not even that long ago.
I wasn't even aware until recently of Explorer 10. I turned off auto-updates so I guess that's why I'm still on this one.

They say if it ain't broke, dont fix it. I stick to that logic.

Sorry didn't mean to hijack the thread. I'll consider an alternative. I have another PC I can access it with.  :)

I don't get it - doesn't seem to be rocket science - the calls are on the right side of the screen, and easily listened to both in Firefox 23 and IE 10 by simply clicking the play button.

you assumed i wasn't on a mobile device, so no, it didn't seem obvious.  sorry to have troubled you.

I assumed nothing. It shows up fine on my Nexus mobile device using Google Chrome and Android Jelly Bean 4.4.2. I don't have a camera nearby for a screenshot as proof, but I just clicked the menu in Chrome and selected Request desktop site and the site shows up fine.

If anyone can pull the audio, that'd be great. I can't figure that site out for shit, and I'm the one who did the uploading.

Laughing so hard I'm crying.

I think "Gladys Calls Charlotte" is something I'm gonna end up listening to about 90 times.

Omg. I have a bellyache from laughing. These are genius. I just LOVE Maryanne. 'Can I get 15 min of the movie? 10, how about 10 min' Ahahaha

bateman

Haha, glad everyone's enjoying them. I think my personal favorite is the second one where we're asking for odd numbered channels, only in audio.. and there's another one Jesus Undercarriage has to rip where "Roger" offered Val Pak coupons in lieu of payment to reinstate his account.

Heather Wade

Oh man, I'm cracking up so hard.  Those were great! 

"I'm gonna commit a crime tonight!  You don't know my wife." 

"Sir, you're going to have to handle her yourself."

Too funny, Bateman.  I want to hear "Roger" attempt to pay his bill with coupons...

Bateman,  what I don't understand is that these are real bills you guys are calling about.   You must have called using people's real names.   How did you find the name of the guy who was watching a shit ton of porn?

Read the 5th post down. They were fake accounts we had an employee make up for us.

Blind as a bat.  Look at my glasses though, damned eyes.   Thanks

With thanks to Jesus Undercarriage... Reverend Salvador calls Charlotte (with a very special guest) and Roger offers to pay for his porn with Val Pak coupons...

Thank you bateman.  Holy shit, man.  Dig the dramatic change in the church music when MaryAnn walks into Rev. Salvador's house, omg, funny.

And Val-Pak coupons!  "Do you realize there's a five dollar coupon for an Interstate Battery?" 
That's comedy gold.   8)
