Prank calls were the best part of 4chan. I can’t even remember the name of that christian radio station that was endlessly bombarded by calls anymore, but listening along was a treat. Would have been around 2008.

I missed that, but I remember around 2011 there was some new-age cult leader guy doing a call-in live stream that got trolled until he rage quit.

No, that's not it. It was a video livestream that had the stereotypical hippie looking host sitting on the floor behind a table taking calls. I don't know if anyone recorded it at the time, but I'd recognize it instantly if I saw it.

There's still videos of that out there...
