My Pillow CEO and target of a billion-dollar lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems Mike Lindell was the victim of a prank caller into his 48-hour “Frank-a-thon” live stream event to promote the launch of his new social media platform, which is reportedly not going so well. The marathon event also went off the rails after people who are not fans of Lindell or Trump got ahold of the call-in number.

One caller, in particular, got both Lindell and the guest quite excited as they believed it was former president and current Florida man Donald Trump on the line. It was not, and the caller dropped a stream of what sounded like obscenities, and seemed to be based on Lindell’s reaction.

After an awkward pause and the appearance of a terrifying floating head, a voice on Lindell’s phone says that they have Trump on standby, and after getting the go-ahead, another voice and great imitation comes on to say “hello, everyone.”

The relief and joy on Lindell’s face shines out at the camera as he welcomes the prank caller to his show.
“Oh, we have the president here, our real president, everyone!” he says. “Hello, Mr. President.”
A rather different voice then pops on the phone and says a series of words that nobody watching the video can seem to understand, though that last word really sounds like “b—ches.” Judging by the reaction of Lindell and his co-host, the rest of the words weren’t too nice, either.

“I guess that wasn’t…” says Lindell before switching to victim mode. “You see what they are doing, they are attacking us.”
In the following babble, he even suggests that callers are “hacking” their phones.
According to Business Insider, Lindell’s social media site “Frank” was supposed to launch today but only shows error messages. This is apparently the same thing that happened last week during the original planned launch day. Lindell is currently claiming on Parler that this is due to “a massive attack” of some kind, providing a Trump-like level of insight into the problem by calling it “probably the biggest ever.”
As of this article’s publishing, the website only contains a video player from which you can continue to watch the Frank-a-thon. If people are ever able to sign up for the platform, they can enjoy a “free speech” experience as long as they don’t take the Lord’s name in vain or use certain swears or break any of the 10 Commandments, including the one about bearing false witness.

Should be a good time.
