It's broken, Jeffrey in the morning. And on this show
we pride ourselves on coming up with pranks that are unique,
different and highly creative, but not this one. We've done
this idea three different times to three different people already.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
If it's broke, don't fix it, jeff Yeah, because it's simple.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
And we always get a funny reaction where we call
someone and say we're one of his eight hundred Facebook
friends and we want to wish him a happy birthday.
We've never actually met before or even spoken to them.
They are super important in our lives, and that's what
we do. In your phone tap right now?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Hello, Rodney, is this happy birthday? Brother? Oh my god?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
Thank you?
Speaker 1 (00:54):
It's your birthday?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Man?
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah it is. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
This is not at work.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
It's Clint from Facebook.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
So you work at Facebook. I'm a little compute.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
No, that's good. No, you accepted my friend request in
twenty fifteen.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Remember I don't.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Well, don't worry, I remember, I sure do. It was
a highlight of my year.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Actually.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
No, okay, so you're being serious one hundred.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
One hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
And by the way, those Cobo pics that you posted
from your trip in twenty twenty two that looked like
such a good time.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
You have to tell me, like, how was that hotel? Hey, Clint, Yeah,
I'm at work right now.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
So maybe maybe you could send the birthday agreeing on
Facebook since that's how we know each other.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
I know I've done that in other years, so I
just thought this time, why not just call you up
directly and like, wish you happy birthday face to face
you put a little personal touch on it.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
Well we're on the phone, but right, well that's sorry,
you know what I mean? Yeah, that's you. You're always
calling me out. I love that about you.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
You and I have never had an interaction pal, so like,
you gotta put yourself on my shoes. Okay, this is
a little unnerving getting a call from somebody I don't
know who says they know me from Facebook and I
can't to be sure.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
I hear you allowed and clear their pal. But again
you're saying that we're not friends. We are Facebook friends.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
So that doesn't mean so much to me. Sounds like
it means more to you.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Well, yeah it does.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Actually know who it means probably the most too, is
deb I.

in twenty thirteen.

remember somebody? I'm not lying to you, Okay, I don't
know who. I don't know death.
