as kids we made a lot of prank phone calls but there was one that stands out in my memory let’s talk about that I’m sous chef from Poland good mythical morning good morning this episode is brought to you by Smule makers of autorap talk and it changes it to wrap moving at the speed of conversation mythical beasts watching from many nations thank you for making us a part of your daily routine it is impossible to live without a spleen moving at the speed of conversation mr. Toby’s watching from many nations thank you for making us a part of your eating routine into is impossible in with us with us moving at the speed of conversation myth it’s not impossible to live without a spleen you can live without a spleen right it’s not like an appendix I think you gotta get I think you had to get replaced if you get it take it out no it’s like gallbladder no I think explains more important ok you’re wrong but whatever ok yesterday we talked about what did we talk about we talk about latchkey kids have what age you should be left lone Rhett a dipped cherry skull when he was left alone but it reminded me of another time that you were left alone because I don’t recommend that by the way yeah don’t do that it’s stupid uh so it reminded me of not only all the times we did prank calls well it reminded me of that because of the one time in particular that is this making sense are you remembering they were you were left alone I came over and we made a series of bad calls this I go down in history that we will now share with the people now I wish my brother was here because he can tell if my brother George was he he can tell the story very very well he because he was the oldest at the time my brother is three years older than me he was a senior in high school when we were freshmen and I believe that this was this was probably we were in middle school and he was like a like a junior in high school it sounds about right and my parents have made the decision that it was ok to leave us alone for a night or for like a weekend or something because you know we have the 17 year old brother who could take care of us take care of me but somehow we ended up working it out so that you would come and spend the night over there one night but we didn’t tell your mom that my parents were gone I don’t know how that all worked out but I remember specifically that she wasn’t supposed to know I was in need to know basis types in it yeah right I’m gonna I’m gonna be fine I’m old enough and what we were planning on doing is we were gonna do like an all-night prank-calling spree because this is something that we had gotten into a little bit because gotta remember this is before the days of SAR 69 and before the days of caller ID I guess there were some rich people who had caller ID I barely even know what star 69 is that’s like when you get a call from a number and then you press star 60 night and it calls that number back which is a weird thing that I don’t even think exists anymore I think it does exist still exist on landlines you’re a proponent of that no one has my fans though big fan of the star 69 so anyway we you know we have made a couple of epic prank calls I don’t really remember many of the details but okay well they were epic in our minds but they were actually I probably really immature and childish your refrigerator running I don’t think we ever resorted to that we did more original things than that Ben I go chase after it so we had decided that we were going to go on an epic prank calling spree but that really just meant that we were gonna call my next-door neighbor Peter who incidentally there was sort of a rocky history between us and Peter because Peter who was one year younger than me and had been there from the day that I moved in to the house have been kind of my buddy you know my next-door neighbor the same age kind of grew up together in a lot of ways but he kind of really threw a wrench into that when he broke into our house while we were on vacation he stole baseball baseball cards you stole money that he put some cigarettes out on the carpet whose cigarette give me main brownies from the he took brownies out of the freezer and made him that’s pretty great and he didn’t need him I was like sounds like brownies and like cigarette bucks so eventually I was able to I play detective and was able to figure out it was him so we were still friends but there was always this you know remember that you broke into my house that was a little awkward yes I mean it was probably probably started around about 10:30 at night I remember Cole who did most of the thinking cuz he was the oldest he I turn all the lights off yep we don’t want her to think that anybody’s here in it plus you know there’s no way that they would know that it was us anyway but if they if it was you know if it was late at night and they look over there and they see the light and Cole’s bedroom on they’re like oh that must be cold it was a small town yeah so we turn all the lights off and we were downstairs and it was thrilling to be able to make a prank call and then look out the window and see the person you’re calling that had never been don’t see the house that they’re in yeah and you might see that the window it was just thrilling on a new level yeah and so I remember Cole you know I really looked up to him as a as a prank call professional he got on there first and I see I seem to remember that at least two out of three of us maybe all three of us would get on the phone a different phone in your house and just like cup the in so they wouldn’t hear his breathing and we could listen to both sides of the prank call conversation mauritania and so you know Cole he was he was good at doing different voices and he’d get on there and Pete senior one answer the phone and they would he would ask for Peter and then we could I speak to Peter and then we get Peter on the phone and then he would just go into this whole routine like using all types of in English accent or this that mean it was probably not very well done come to think of it my opinion I mean we asked it there was the there was this conversation that would take place what are you up to Peter and you would use this voice and you would just string along what we call Cole would write with it and so we we got him on the phone a couple times in record we just let Cole talk you know and he probably call it four or five times all right you’d call and then you wait about 15 minutes so you know it’s getting like 11:30 12:00 o’clock and then Rhett starts taking over in you know doing your own spin on Cole’s routine but the interesting thing that happened is that after a couple of phone calls Pete senior answer the phone and I remember him specifically saying listen here ace I just I don’t remember what else he said after that I just remember called listen here ace she called you ace yes which which to me was a good sign because I knew your name wasn’t a yeah he’s obviously he had been fooled and but I think that was just his general term for people who were instigating shenanigans on a prank call line and based on the way that the garage looked and the fact there were there was a lot of Milwaukee’s best like 24 pack boxes that were just kind of strong in the garage empty we knew that P senior loved to drink Milwaukee’s best and we just always assumed that he was always hopped up on Milwaukee’s best late at night we just assumed so safest so he so he’s uh we just kind of pictured him like with a mohawk he’s best in this ham and the phone in this and he was would race he would not go to find out who you are great Roy after about the twelfth call by the time you were prank on he wouldn’t give the phone to Peter so we were just left prank calling his dad which and that was fine with us you know we it you know you’d see him kind of walk through the house and it was just great and it was really he was rewarding it was feared it was a little thrilling it was also incredibly wrong so they endorsed us think Cole’s having a great time you’re having a great time and I’m like women we know how to get it terrible and so then I got uh somehow they decided I think that the strategy was they were like let’s put Peter back on the phone and let’s just you know let’s just calm things down a little bit we’re gonna put Peter on the phone and Peter just gonna be real calm and maybe he’s gonna try to decipher like who what this is it’s calling her get a bit of information out of ranked caller so I’ve got Peter on the phone he’s talking real calmly and he’s like you know the asking me questions and I’m not responding to them and then I kind of kind of look at you of course I’m using this like I’m using like a weird accent some kind of is you know I don’t sound like myself at all so then I give link the phone and now I’m listening on the other phone it was like this is my moment right and link is the phone and link says in a whispery voice hey Peter and Peter says hey link I was like oh no I remember just looking at link I mean looking at link looking at Rhett and looking at Cole I’m like whoa and then I was just like I hung up the phone and then call hangs up the phone Rhett hangs up the phone and call psych just go to bed as if there was ever any more of a better indicator that we were guilty hey link phone up so so you know you hug the lights well they like to order you run up get in your bed and like I’m sleeping on like the floor beside your bed like that’s how I slept when I stayed at your house yeah of course yeah go get the bed with me why didn’t I get the bed you got the flow and then Cole went to his room she’s right next to it and then it was about 15 minutes later your phone starts to ring and we just we say don’t and Cole runs in he’s I don’t answer it you know he’s doing all the thinking this is great we got somebody to count on here so we don’t answer but then it just keeps ringing and keeps ringing and we’re like oh no oh gosh we’re called we got to answer the phone and then finally Cole brings the phone in that phone’s ringing he brings the phone in there and then he answers it he’s like he gets his look on his face like like he’s been sleeping for hours haha hello music it was good act it was a good act and then I’m like we’re not on the phone now so we’re just looking at Cole sided conversation hi I’m miss sue it’s my mom like no he’s he’s he’s asleep I’ve been asleep everybody here has been asleep for like many hours and uh and then talks more and then he gets and then I’m then Cole takes the phone and he after my mom’s talked to him for a while and I guess what she was saying was it turns out that she was saying was your neighbor Pete senior called me asking if if link was home and I said no he was at the McLaughlin’s house your parents aren’t there she’s found out your parents aren’t there and all this stuff and then that’s what she tells it and then she’s like we’ll put link on the phone so then Cole goes he holds it for like this and he goes holds it up to me and he link it’s your mom why didn’t I just take the phone I’m like hello you go like the same routine I’m like hey Peter no I wasn’t on that again I was like and III I don’t remember exactly what happen I think basically I was like I tried to lie didn’t work the whole thing fizzled out I came clean later we came clean later which meant you got in trouble and then a day or two later then I got it but I don’t think we ever reconciled with Peter because it was kind of like dude you broke into my house I made a prank called you one night I don’t remember they’re not even technically even yet we got in trouble but I don’t remember ever having a conversation with Peter about it after after the fact we never talked about it right it was just like that’s in the past we were punished you found this out man you can’t do that these days I mean you can but you have but you know you’re gonna be you know you’ll be traced sentimental slow zoom and one less if you don’t just whisper if you’re gonna be on a prank call doing this is not a good voice disguised let’s get sentimental link you know what we’ve done a
