Funny story, when I was a teen my friend and I were pretty hardcore in the prank call game. We even went to radioshack and got a thing that allowed us to directly connect a microcassette recorder to a telephone so that we could record our prank calls. This is all pre-*69. We had a Kerns High school directory and we honestly called about 70% of the numbers. Usually after midnight during the summer months. Anyway, we had gotten pretty far into it and we got to the Young's. I called a house with a female name and an older woman picked up.
I was like "Get Stacy!"
She responded, "What, who the hell are you?"
I said, "I'm Jared Young" (there was another kid in the directory named Jared Young).
She responds, "Yeah right?"
"My name is Jared Young, get Stacy... We need to talk."
"What the f&*$ do you need to talk about?"
"She hasn't told you?"
"No, what do you need to talk about?"
Me, "She's... She's... Okay, she's pregnant!"
"Who did you say you were?"
"I'm Jared Young."
"No you're not!"
"Yes, I am! My name is Jared Young."
"You ain't no Young!"
"Yes I am! I'm Jared Young. I went to school with her."
"Bulls*&%! You ain't no Young!"
"I AM a Young!"
"No You Ain't!"
"I am"
*******
Anyway, that was a medium fun one. It was just really fun for me to be told I was not Jared Young, we usually used the name James Gibson. Best one we did was getting a guy to think a girl we pretended to know had been living in his basement for the last few weeks and while we were on the phone he was all like, "Okay, I'm going downstairs..." Dude was sure there was some runaway living in his basement. Another quote that we enjoyed was the person who got super serious and said, "Wait, what? Do you think you're some kind of badass? Because if you are you better bring some sticks and knives and guns and ****, because I'm gonna be ready for you!" Another person started talking to us about chasing the dragon. I mean we set a challenge for ourselves to call every number in the Kearns High student directory and record the results, and we did it. I'd love to get my hands on those tapes. Dude I did that with has been to prison a couple times, but I bet those tapes still exist, somewhere. **** is money.
