Best Lenny call ever! "I got to hang up. I cain't do this no longer. No, sir." (14:04)
What it is
A recorded phone call in which the Lenny bot, a looping set of prerecorded replies from a rambling old man, keeps a telemarketer on the line for 14 minutes. The uploader calls it the best Lenny call yet.
Why Hacker News recommends it
HN mentions it as an example of Lenny, the telemarketer time-waster, and of how a canned script can fool callers for a long time.
