Robin Cooper calls a psychic

by Robert Popper on September 21, 2009 · 30 comments

I couldn’t resist phoning a live psychic line as my altered eggo, Robin Cooper. What ensues is, of course, slightly/extremely mental…

BTW, if you have any suggestions as to who I should phone, do let me know. Ta!

    Excellent! It’s hard to believe from the patient and gentle manner of such psychic folk that they can be so thoroughly exploitative and, thusly, evil. For more twisted telephonic psychic adventures, you might like this short pilot I made with my friend David. It’s called Horrorscope: http://www.granzonnodo.com/audio.htm

    Hows about ‘accidentally’ calling a sex line?
    Keep up the good work :)

    “you’re a good listener”
    “PARDON?”
    “YORE A GOOD LISTENER”
    “good listenem yes”

    This is the best one yet.

    “Down to earth lady” hahahahaha.

    “You’re a good listener.”
    “Pardon!”

    “I do feel a lot of people being drawn around you” She’s been looking at this website.

    ROFL

    That was amazing. I loved how she completely lost patience with you midway through.

    Please call up the Church of Scientology

  • Wowser

    I love how angry she gets about the owl thing!

  • Dave Mills

    “Keep eating tomatoes”..best farewell ever.

    What about the number on that ‘gold 4 cash’ exchange advert.

    That was great, I hurt from laughing. :-)

    Adam, that’s quite a good idea!

    How about phoning our Queen to tell her what a great job she’s doing? Her number is: 02079304832

    Or perhaps calling up to ask questions about having afternoon tea with your family at The Ritz here in London (0207 493 8181). I understand it’s quite phenomenally expensive and requires a jacket and tie. Maybe you want to bring your three year old grandson… with Tourette’s? (Or is that going too far?)

    Victor Lewis Smith, as much as I dislike the man, did a rather clever prank phone call once: He used the same voice software as Stephen Hawking and, pretending to be our top physicist, called the Whitehouse and asked to speak to the President (“I’m calling from the University of Edinburgh, London, England”). Amazingly he was put straight through to the Oval Office, with no questions. Although the President didn’t answer personally, he was in the room, whereupon “Stephen Hawking” said he wanted to introduce his friend’s impression of a baby turning into a pig… A bit of a wasted opportunity, but very clever I thought.

    I really love your Robin Cooper calls, Robert, they never fall into the easy (and unpleasant) trap of just mocking the person you’re calling.

    Thanks Johnny. Appreciate it. Have called Buckingham Palace before but they are the sharpest people in the world. They told me that the majority of the calls they get are prank calls! Try calling them – you’ll see what I mean…

    When I listened back ten minutes later, I had totally forgotten I had said that. In fact I still have no memory of uttering those words. But am quite proud of them!

    Perfect! Thanks.

    Hehe, well Robin could always call Buckingham Palace and immediately admit he’s doing a prank call on a dare… “I’m very sorry to bother you, and I’m doing a prank call for my friend. It’s all rather silly, isn’t it? Are Mr and Mrs Wall there? Quite an obvious one, yes. How about a Mr. IP Freely?” (etc.) I can imagine it would be a very short phone call, though.

    Never heard lady Robin sound so maudlin, perhaps it was the thought of spending £trillion per min for this nonsense or were you hoping to present an aura?

    Yes I doubt you will get to speak to Robin Copper himself because he is the President after all but it is a good idea, perhaps Ellie Munnings would be a better bet. You will need a suitable research project but that should not prove too difficult….

    Robin Cooper may/may not have been tipsy…

  • JP

    Keep eating tomatoes,

    haha my favourite bit:
    ‘but i might get an electric shock and i’m confused… shop… shopping… going for a shopping holiday… a chocolate surprise? like one of those what are they called, kinder egg things?’

    ‘no no, just something nice that’s going to happen’

    ‘oh, oh okay’

    i think this is my favourite robin cooper video so far.
