Talk:Alec Benson Leary Phone Call 8

This is fucking incredible.--Beat 07:12, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Usually I like jumping in and making minor edits to phone calls. I did a couple to Alec calls 1 and 2. But I can't dive into this one. Alec sounds genuinely concerned about the tard. I can't be neutral on this. TheBrownSonichu 07:44, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

It's good to see someone who seems interested in helping him out, and sticking through Chris's BS to get it done.Double Nega 13:53, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh god. I was right about the Voltorb in the toilet. Why do I feel dirty?--MoarLurk 14:21, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

I've had mixed feelings about ABL's previous calls, but this one is a true masterpiece. He used Chris's bullshit logic against him and left him with no choice but to accept it. He manipulates Chris impeccably and never seems to miss anything that Chris has said earlier in the conversation - He calls him on every single bit of shit he's tried to pull. Fantastic. A Crowning Moment of Awesome in Christory. - Liquid! 22:00, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Transcription

Currently up to 20:34. Gonna try to plug up to maybe 25-30 minutes. Alec fucking with Chris's bizarre grasp of metafictional reality is some next-level shit. Dkaien 12:28, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Beep Beep Boop Boop Beep Boop Beep

When Chris started randomly pressing phone keys over and over again in a futile attempt to get Alec to hang up on him in frustration, I had to stop the tape because I was literally in tears laughing. Llort 19:59, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

Can we be sure that he was doing that to get rid of Alec? That was my first thought too. TheBrownSonichu 20:05, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

about the beeps

no idea about what it was still but this call is actually two put together apparently. but it was all in one night so it was stuck together anyway. Clydec 01:57, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

• If we know where a first call ends and a second call begins, it might be worth making a note at that point in the transcript. Llort 02:41, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

• it should be obvious but it was after the beeps Clydec 05:06, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

• Well, yeah - that's where I would assume a break occurs, except for the fact that Chris doesn't have Alec's phone number. (Or, at least, I seem to recall Alec refusing to give Chris his phone number during one of the last couple of calls.) So, when Chris comes back on the line after the beeps, I assumed that that was Chris (shamed by Alec calling him out on pushing buttons) coming back on the line and talking again during the same call. And when Alec responds with "okay - well, good to have you back" or whatever, I assumed that he was just playing along with Chris claiming to have lost connection when nothing of the sort actually happened.

That was exactly what I thought. - Liquid! 17:25, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

An attempt to decode the dial tones

Why why why why WHY do I get the craziest ideas at 4 o'clock in the night?

So, I lopped the dial tone section off the MP3 file (about 27 minutes in if someone else wants to try this), fed it to the first DTMF decoder program I happened to find with a bit of googling (make that first that actually produced any output at all), and it spat out...

That's only 64 numbers though, and there's about 70 numbers dialled (I'm too tired to listen again), so it's possible the program was confused by the talk on the background. Also, I pretty much just picked up the first software I had at hand and I have little practical knowledge of DTMF. In short, this is bullshit until someone with more alertness and clue about things can confirm this. =) --wwwwolf (wake me when you need me) 02:56, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

That's an incredible waste of time! and yet somehow, it's so awesome!--Beat 02:06, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
