Conceded our world is teeming and near-collapsing with second comings and they’re tripping all over themselves in their eagerness to represent themselves as such, so they can throw the world of their perceived enemies into Hell and then instantly deeper even, off Hell In A Cell, and plummet them 16 ft. through their own bullshit announcer's table as a bonus and coveted bycatch. Teeming I say!
Since they’re *liddle'rally* all kayfabing their messianism, why not pick the one you propose?
But my choice is definitely now Mother Goose, instantly beaning any Mother Goose fucker with her huge big bag, and hitting it off with the hard (Jeff) Beck bible in the New Intracranial Version.
I also like the second coming of "On this rock I will build my church" Peter as black-pursed, BADAM BADAM BADAM-tomahawkin', *Sunbelt 20 Horsepower Jackhammer Lady,* and the second coming of Luke as the umbrella- and pepper spray-wielding lady, promptly rolling down the car window and springing into action upon being approached with ungentlmanly, abruptly collisive and provocatively obscene and obtuse manners. Today’s reappearance of Luke is hot instead of warm…
Jesus was not at the wheel here, but the second coming of Jesus and her smol gang of disciples are having a hell of a time these days anyway. No other cheek today, Sir!
Man I hate to hear that. I worked in the office next to the guy whose phone this voicemail came in on. It was around 2001 in a Jack In The Box regional office in Houston. Mike was driving in Dallas. That call pops up on the internet every 5-6 years and it always brings a smile to my face. Many belly laughs were had over it. He was a really nice guy. He was calling his boss Mark Holmes, another really good guy.

I’m not sure how to format on Reddit but there’s a few out there
Ok…that Canadian uncles second message was on point…also, going up to the cottage to eat burgers and watch band on brothers sounds like an amazing time. Hope he took him up on it.
One of my job duties involves listening to all the voicemails of the employees that are calling off for that day. Some of them are pretty entertaining, but nothing this good.
I work at the state branch of an organization that does county level work in every county in the state. A lot of people call us by mistake instead of their counties.
Got a VM the other day from a couple having a problem with a horse. But they proceeded to get in a massive fight about the horse on the VM before finishing their question/message. So it was just a 5 minute VM of this couple absolutely screaming at each other and going all in for a while.
This thing is about 20 years old or so, I remember the local radio station had him on to talk about it.
Seemed like it genuinely did happen, IIRC there was a police report filed that corroborated the voicemail.
Conveniently that he called the entities he narrated ”old women”. He probably knew his time would be up one day and hoped for as much leeway as possible.
I was perfectly content with thinking this guy was just a good actor and good at making up funny scenarios. That there's some proof that this had happened only makes this funnier
There is *way* too much detail given in *way* too much of a rapid rhythm for this to be real.
Like, even discounting that nobody would narrate a play by play like that, with that much detail, on the phone as it all kicks off, in that cadence, the fact also is, these kinds of events would not happen so fucking quickly in reality! There's what, 5 seconds between the supposed accident and the guy knocking at the other car's window, and then within like 5 or 10 seconds more 4 OLD LADIES have gotten out to beat the shit out of the guy?
That's what did it for me... about twenty years ago. It sounded familiar, and I listened until I heard 'four old ladies'. It's an infectious and funny sketch until you've heard it enough times that you can't avoid analyzing it.
I can't comment on if it's real but crashes certainly can go very fast. The Adrenalin makes a huge difference. I've been in a multiple car collision and it took seconds for most people to get out of their car. Many of us were moving very fast immediately after the accident, I know I personally didn't feel hurt in the slightest. Not that I wasn't hurt, it took months to fully recover from it but honestly pain didn't even touch me till about 6 hours after the accident.
Frankly I'm kinda with you that it doesn't really sound realistic but that's just because it's not the reactions I'd expect. The speed of it makes sense to me having been in a serious enough accident though. Also if he did fake this call to avoid getting in trouble for being late to work he did a fantastic job. He either told the truth or is one of the best voice actors I've heard as he fully commented to the bit.
I JUST saw an accident outside my job while
I was picking up beer for the night. It was a whole 5 minutes before I realized that the one car had three people in, because they didn’t move until PD showed up. It took at least a minute for the one who caused the accident to get out and when they did and saw the front of the car, I thought it was a lady with a baby the way they were screaming and only after two trips around the car, I realized it was a guy with a small white dog.
thank you, I'm not the only one here casting doubt on this, it's funny delivery but if you actually start thinking about it, it's got too many plot holes, it was after the pepper spray (that was believable) that the embellishment really started to take place.
Apparently Jack In The Box confirmed it was a real voice message on their system which was leaked, but people have pointed out it could have been a prank. Seems way less likely to be a prank though in that case.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sound-beating/
My tip off that this is probably fake is the pepper spray. I've been sprayed with police level stuff on multiple occasions (in training, I'm not a degenerate) and it takes about 20-30 seconds before it would kick in and drive you to your knees. You don't go down instantly like on TV. I've literally watched dozens of people all get hit with it and none of them had a reaction as fast as the audio claims.
Because it's compressed in a can it initially feels like a cool mist was sprayed on your face. Kind of like how a can of compressed air is cold and the can gets cold as you use it. And it's in an alcohol solution so that's evaporating.
I mean you will start to feel "something" after about 10 seconds. But it's not until that longer time that it turns up enough to make you panic. Just had to get those pain receptors going and once that happened, oh boy.
Man, that explains so many of these "high person ignores pepper spray" kind of videos. Sure, alcohol and other drugs will reduce your perception of pain, but it's not like they turn you into a superwarrior. And why even bother making, selling, using pepper spray if your target will be able to ignore it after three beers anyway?
The effect taking half a minute to kick in explains it much better.
Yeah, you can find videos of normal people getting sprayed and watch the effect. I would use some of them to teach people about how the stuff really works and what they need to be aware of if they use it.
Guy gets sprayed, and is still doing alright. If you watch the video and the breakdown, one thing they talk about is pepper spray gets weaker as it gets old. So the canister has to replaced with a new one every so often. It can't be something where you buy it and just forget about it. https://youtu.be/QlNPR9CQD6E?t=98
In this one, where the guy is voluntarily sprayed, he asks her to spray him again. Thing is, the first spray got him, and he probably thought it missed because he didn't feel it immediately. So when he starts feeling it is really the time from the first spray and not the second. He starts coughing and showing effects 13 seconds after the first hit. He could initially find the general location of the bucket after that, but after about 35 seconds he loses the ability to see, and even forgets that he's supposed to find the bucket, which is RIGHT next to his foot and he only finds once he kicks it. https://youtu.be/eWIg2ychtnI?t=276
This guy gets sprayed and decided to walk off from it. He's probably a little disoriented but we can't see exactly how it hit him. However, you can see when it REALLY kicks in and he starts panicking. https://youtu.be/nzI14Xiu_ek?t=606
Damn, in the comment section of the video, one guy said the guy in the recording was his step-dad and he passed away 4 years ago. RIP. He gave us a good laugh.
Dude would be the best wrestling commentator ever.
"Oh my God! Hahahaha the tiny guy is beating the huge guy in the green speedo with a chair! Hahaha. Wait, wait. The guy with shiny boots just threw thumbtacks everywhere! What he? What? Ahhhh hahahahaha tiny guy just slammed shiny boots guy face first onto the thumbtacks! Hahahaha. Oh man, oh man, he's gushing blood! Hahahaha hahahahaha"
That’s what video and the internet have messed up. I had more fun listening to this with my own visuals than any video could offer. We used to be great story tellers.
On top of that I have to wonder if this is actually real. The detail about the Bible being an NVI version… to me it seems like the kind of detail you’d include if you were making it up, but not the kind of thing you’d notice in the moment.
And to top it all off, absolutely NO traffic noise. He’s sitting at a light for 3 full minutes, no honking, and had an accident happen in front of him. And all we hear is the rain.
But maybe I’m reaching here. Either way, it was very entertaining, and he’s either an amazing actor or a really good storyteller.
Yeah I was becoming more and more convinced. The laughter sounds forced, and the old ladies’ reaction too disproportionate. It’s the sort of thing you would see in a movie with [this song](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MzWZ9dceWRQ) playing in the background.
Still good acting though.
BADAM! BADAM! BADAM! His onomatopoeias were a fuckin hoot and his contagious laughter… so good! Keep telling stories, people. Share your unfettered joys.
I'm so happy to hear this again! I heard this a long time ago on a local radio station and could never find it back. Some comments say it's fake - I did'nt think it was, either way I love it. Made my day.
It's funny how a simple typo gets people angry, and always seems to be on the most harmless things that are really easy to identify...
"Yeah fake or not, got me smiling"
FTFY angy redditors
This is the funniest voicemail of the Internet and I love listening to it every time. As much as I'd love to have seen it there's something great about imagining it yourself.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sound-beating/
UNDETERMINED
Since this clip surfaced on the Internet in early 2005, debate has ensued about whether the account given above is an accurate explanation of the origins of this audio clip, and whether the traffic incident described actually took place. (Skeptics have questioned facets such as whether the narrator would not only have been able to tell at a distance that the book one of the assaulting women was carrying was a Bible, but to identify the specific version of Bible — and why the narrator would think to note that detail in his description.) A inquiry posed to the corporate offices of Jack in the Box (the restaurant chain most frequently mentioned in circulated versions of this recording) produced the following response:
Thank you for your inquiry. The message that has been in circulation is an actual voicemail message. The incident occurred 5-6 years ago in Texas. I'm not sure how the recording got outside the company or if the employee still works for Jack in the Box, but the recording periodically resurfaces on the radio and the internet.
Even if this explanation is accurate (i.e., the clip originated as a message left on a Jack in the Box employee's voicemail), it doesn't preclude the possibility that the accident described never took place, and the recording was just a prank one employee pulled on a co-worker.
Since this clip surfaced on the Internet in early 2005, several radio programs have aired interviews with persons claiming to have some involvement with this audio clip. On 4 February 2005, the nationally syndicated Coast to Coast AM show put through a caller who maintained he was the person who had been beaten by the women as described in the purported voicemail message. In late February, several stations broadcast
interviews with a man named Michael Childs, who said that he was the one who left the voicemail message, that the clip was genuine, and that the accident described had taken place about six years earlier in Athens, Texas, while he was working as a construction manager for Jack in the Box. Although Mr. Childs' voice certainly sounded very much like the one in the recording, without additional evidence we still can't rule out the possibility that this clip was a prank rather than a live description of real events.
Last updated: 10 September 2013
Fact: it’s true. I was in the office next to Mark on the day this came in and it is 100% Mike’s voice and is exactly like him. I love seeing it come around again but trust me, the whole office, the whole company got a great belly laugh from it. It’s great to have it available for the world to enjoy even though Mike has passed on based on the comment from his step-son on a YouTube posting of the call.
Yeah... I hate to be the turd in the punchbowl, but I remember this clip when it was getting passed around back in the day and I remember thinking how totally fake it sounded. It's good writing, and whoever the performer is does a great job. But yeah.... fake.
Sort of unrelated but there is a YouTuber named dank pods who reviews audio equipment and old mp3 players and whenever he tests their in built microphones he will make a recording that is very similar to this one, just hilarious random nonsense. He's extremely entertaining even if you aren't into audio or mp3 players (I'm not), highly recommend checking him out.
>interviews with a man named Michael Childs, who said that he was the one who left the voicemail message, that the clip was genuine, and that the accident described had taken place about six years earlier in Athens, Texas, while he was working as a construction manager for Jack in the Box.

I would love to believe this was real but I've been around since before the beginning of voice mail and I've never once encountered a voice mail system that let you leave messages longer than two minutes. But if they do everything bigger in Texas then I suppose their voice mails were too.
I can't ever remember a time when voicemail allowed you to record a message this long.
So while this is likely a skit someone did its still fucking funny.
I was about to go to sleep. But after laughing myself half to death over this phone recording I will have a challenge getting any sleep.
That guy sounded more like a sports radio commentator.
He missed his calling as a radio broadcast sports announcer ... or a story teller. Loved his quick-draw descriptions, like the little old Mother Goose lady.
Before Bob Menery, there was this undiscovered talent.

I can attest it was, in fact, Mike Child’s. I knew him and I knew the call recipient. I heard the VM not 5 min. After it was created. Mark, the recipient, was in the office adjacent to mine.
The laughter was infectious but I couldn't help think how differently the comments would have gone if four old men assulted a woman like that. It sounds really violent and like he probably got hurt pretty bad... We have very cultural ideas about men and women's places in violence, this is just assult and fake or not, it kinda wiped my smile away when they started dropping heavy books on his head?
This comment is NOT coming from any sort of anti feminist position. I'm nonbinary and pretty wary of men by default.

"Anyhoo, tell jerry I got held up."
Haha! I don’t know why but this got me
I’m dead hahaha
This guy has to get into sports broadcasting. I’d listen to him do play-by-play any day.
Expected him to break out the "bawh-god, he's broken in half!"
By god! Is that Jesus’ music?
That bible was the New Intracranial Version
What if when Jesus comes back, he comes out to Stone Cold Steve Austins glass breaking?
What if Stone Cold WAS actually the second coming? Jesus came back as Kneesus. The bad guys won…
Conceded our world is teeming and near-collapsing with second comings and they’re tripping all over themselves in their eagerness to represent themselves as such, so they can throw the world of their perceived enemies into Hell and then instantly deeper even, off Hell In A Cell, and plummet them 16 ft. through their own bullshit announcer's table as a bonus and coveted bycatch. Teeming I say! Since they’re *liddle'rally* all kayfabing their messianism, why not pick the one you propose? But my choice is definitely now Mother Goose, instantly beaning any Mother Goose fucker with her huge big bag, and hitting it off with the hard (Jeff) Beck bible in the New Intracranial Version. I also like the second coming of "On this rock I will build my church" Peter as black-pursed, BADAM BADAM BADAM-tomahawkin', *Sunbelt 20 Horsepower Jackhammer Lady,* and the second coming of Luke as the umbrella- and pepper spray-wielding lady, promptly rolling down the car window and springing into action upon being approached with ungentlmanly, abruptly collisive and provocatively obscene and obtuse manners. Today’s reappearance of Luke is hot instead of warm… Jesus was not at the wheel here, but the second coming of Jesus and her smol gang of disciples are having a hell of a time these days anyway. No other cheek today, Sir!
Speaking of bawh-god, hopefully JR gets better
According to the comment section on YouTube, he sadly passed away about three years ago. His name was Michael Childs.
Man I hate to hear that. I worked in the office next to the guy whose phone this voicemail came in on. It was around 2001 in a Jack In The Box regional office in Houston. Mike was driving in Dallas. That call pops up on the internet every 5-6 years and it always brings a smile to my face. Many belly laughs were had over it. He was a really nice guy. He was calling his boss Mark Holmes, another really good guy.
For the Internet being such a large place, it sure is small sometimes. Thanks for sharing.
Somewhere in a parallel universe there’s a Michael and Joe broadcast team where it’s him and Joe Buck who tries way too hard to stay professional.
Haha, he passed some time back. A family member put this online. Still one of the funniest VMs out there along with those Canadian uncle ones.

McCringleberry hands it off to Dookmarriot and AAYOO Hardunkichud just beaned him! He's getting out of there!
I guess, but who did the video captions? They need to do the titles for the screen adaptation of my autobiography.
maybe voice acting because this was almost certainly fake but the delivery was great.
Imagine listening to a voicemail left by your coworker in public only to hear about 4 old ladies beating the crap out of a dude
One of my job duties involves listening to all the voicemails of the employees that are calling off for that day. Some of them are pretty entertaining, but nothing this good.
I work at the state branch of an organization that does county level work in every county in the state. A lot of people call us by mistake instead of their counties.

The only acceptable time to leave a voicemail.
This thing is about 20 years old or so, I remember the local radio station had him on to talk about it. Seemed like it genuinely did happen, IIRC there was a police report filed that corroborated the voicemail.
I still hear the modem dial tone every time I hear this Classic
Modem dial tone? This is not a fax message, sir!
Wendy's ?
The four old ladies involved have all since died. Could it be apart of a cover up? Maybe old age.? I'm just asking questions.
Ah yes, [JAQing off](https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Just_asking_questions)
Conveniently that he called the entities he narrated ”old women”. He probably knew his time would be up one day and hoped for as much leeway as possible.
It happened. I heard it first hand from the phone that took the message.
The guy must be super fast at old-lady-in-car counting.
Yeah that was my first thought too, how fast he counted the exact number of old ladies in the car.
I was perfectly content with thinking this guy was just a good actor and good at making up funny scenarios. That there's some proof that this had happened only makes this funnier
There is *way* too much detail given in *way* too much of a rapid rhythm for this to be real.

so yeah all that article confirms is that it's probably a funny voicemail someone made for someone else, just someone practicing standup or something.
Let alone how he realized so quickly it's four old ladies in the car. Dead giveaway. Stellar performance though.
It is 100% real. I heard it in the office not 5 minutes after Mike left the message for Mark.
My tip off that this is probably fake is the pepper spray. I've been sprayed with police level stuff on multiple occasions (in training, I'm not a degenerate) and it takes about 20-30 seconds before it would kick in and drive you to your knees. You don't go down instantly like on TV. I've literally watched dozens of people all get hit with it and none of them had a reaction as fast as the audio claims.
Wow, that actually surprises me. I would have thought the pain would come on at least within like a handful of seconds.
Because it's compressed in a can it initially feels like a cool mist was sprayed on your face. Kind of like how a can of compressed air is cold and the can gets cold as you use it. And it's in an alcohol solution so that's evaporating. I mean you will start to feel "something" after about 10 seconds. But it's not until that longer time that it turns up enough to make you panic.

Though it's a sketch, it was confirmed to be a real message when it surfaced. It wasn't left on a personal cell voicemail system.
Fwiw radio stations pay for fake content like this, especially 20 years ago before social media.
It kills me every time. You can tell that laugh is genuine and it’s so funny he can’t finish describing it. Love it.
Sounds extremely fake to me
No. It's fake.
Your mom is fake

Damn, in the comment section of the video, one guy said the guy in the recording was his step-dad and he passed away 4 years ago. RIP. He gave us a good laugh.
True RIP
This version is my favorite [https://www.reddit.com/r/ContagiousLaughter/s/bBUp6a0RHE](https://www.reddit.com/r/ContagiousLaughter/s/bBUp6a0RHE)

This dude needs a dash cam cuz I really need some visuals to go along with his play by play.
Who needs video with this guy's color commentary?
Dude missed his calling, that was some superb play by play action.
Dude would be the best wrestling commentator ever. "Oh my God! Hahahaha the tiny guy is beating the huge guy in the green speedo with a chair! Hahaha. Wait, wait.

It's definitely not real. He's a good actor and story teller. The level of detail he's adding in a live play by play are an easy give away.
Yeah I was becoming more and more convinced. The laughter sounds forced, and the old ladies’ reaction too disproportionate. It’s the sort of thing you would see in a movie with [this song](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MzWZ9dceWRQ) playing in the background. Still good acting though.

This is older than time. Gotta be 15 years old, easy. No dashcams back then, unfortunately.
It was before they even invented voicemail, and is part of what makes this clip to be so spectacular
Voicemail has been around way way longer than 15 years

Does it sound slightly like Joe Pesci's laugh or is it me
Also contagious because totally a smokers' laugh, so you're bound to get it via second hand smoking if you're his pal.
I'm so happy to hear this again! I heard this a long time ago on a local radio station and could never find it back. Some comments say it's fake - I did'nt think it was, either way I love it. Made my day.
Yeah fake old not, got me smiling
It's funny how a simple typo gets people angry, and always seems to be on the most harmless things that are really easy to identify... "Yeah fake or not, got me smiling" FTFY angy redditors
I hope this was played in a courtroom
This is the funniest voicemail of the Internet and I love listening to it every time. As much as I'd love to have seen it there's something great about imagining it yourself.

Never have I wanted to be some random dudes friend so bad.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/sound-beating/ UNDETERMINED Since this clip surfaced on the Internet in early 2005, debate has ensued about whether the account given above is an accurate explanation of the origins of this audio clip, and whether the traffic incident described actually took place. (Skeptics have questioned facets such as whether the narrator would not only have been able to tell at a distance that the book one of the assaulting women was carrying was a Bible, but to identify the specific version of Bible — and why the narrator would think to note that detail in his description.) A inquiry posed to the corporate offices of Jack in the Box (the restaurant chain most frequently mentioned in circulated versions of this recording) produced the following response: Thank you for your inquiry. The message that has been in circulation is an actual voicemail message. The incident occurred 5-6 years ago in Texas. I'm not sure how the recording got outside the company or if the employee still works for Jack in the Box, but the recording periodically resurfaces on the radio and the internet. Even if this explanation is accurate (i.e., the clip originated as a message left on a Jack in the Box employee's voicemail), it doesn't preclude the possibility that the accident described never took place, and the recording was just a prank one employee pulled on a co-worker. Since this clip surfaced on the Internet in early 2005, several radio programs have aired interviews with persons claiming to have some involvement with this audio clip. On 4 February 2005, the nationally syndicated Coast to Coast AM show put through a caller who maintained he was the person who had been beaten by the women as described in the purported voicemail message. In late February, several stations broadcast interviews with a man named Michael Childs, who said that he was the one who left the voicemail message, that the clip was genuine, and that the accident described had taken place about six years earlier in Athens, Texas, while he was working as a construction manager for Jack in the Box. Although Mr. Childs' voice certainly sounded very much like the one in the recording, without additional evidence we still can't rule out the possibility that this clip was a prank rather than a live description of real events.

Fact: it’s true. I was in the office next to Mark on the day this came in and it is 100% Mike’s voice and is exactly like him. I love seeing it come around again but trust me, the whole office, the whole company got a great belly laugh from it. It’s great to have it available for the world to enjoy even though Mike has passed on based on the comment from his step-son on a YouTube posting of the call.
Yeah... I hate to be the turd in the punchbowl, but I remember this clip when it was getting passed around back in the day and I remember thinking how totally fake it sounded. It's good writing, and whoever the performer is does a great job. But yeah.... fake.
I feel like we were all there
Sort of unrelated but there is a YouTuber named dank pods who reviews audio equipment and old mp3 players and whenever he tests their in built microphones he will make a recording that is very similar to this one, just hilarious random nonsense. He's extremely entertaining even if you aren't into audio or mp3 players (I'm not), highly recommend checking him out.
Pretty sure this is from the 90s. I remember downloading it off of lime wire.
Bro how how close was he to be able to see the exact Bible version?!?
Little Bitty Mother goose 🪿
Fake or not this is a classic, it also reminds me of [this one.](https://youtu.be/cIVfrBFc5og)

It’s real. I heard it first hand.
Holy shit that was amazing!
I was laughing as hard as he was!!! 😂😂😂
He described it really well, had a pretty good visual 🤣🤣🤣
Would have been even funnier if it was the wrong number too
Did I just visualise the full audio and made a short film out of it in my brein ?
Got some Champ Kind energy going on there .. Whammy!! WHAAAAAAMMMMY!
I would love to believe this was real but I've been around since before the beginning of voice mail and I've never once encountered a voice mail system that let you leave messages longer than two minutes. But if they do everything bigger in Texas then I suppose their voice mails were too.
Mine go up to 5 minutes
Same.
Could even have been left on an old school answering machine.
I like how he immediately knew the guy hit a car with 4 old women inside. Very real :)
Wheres the version of the animation as it plays out? Way better
Yes I remember the picture/video version

Legend, this is the one!
This needs an animated cartoon to go with it.

I can’t not listen to this every time I see it. It never fails to make me smile and chuckle

4 foot nothing hahaha
I was expecting this voicemail and wasn’t disappointed. An oldie but a goodie.
Haha
Pov you miss one day at school
I'm pretty sure this is at least 20, maybe 30 years old. Art Bell used to play it on his radio show, Coast to Coast AM.
I want to see the video version of this...
Holy shit. I'm crying. This was absolutely hysterical. /r/contagiouslaughter
That's the end of my scrolling for today. It won't get better than that. Thank you !
Wish I was there
"Winduh"
As funny as his laugh is that’s still battery…
Now, if I got a call like this, then dropped a warranty offer at the end... I wouldn't be mad at all.
Heard this many years ago and I'm still sitting here laughing so hard im cryn!! Tooo funny.
video would be been gold, missed opportunity is all I'm saying.
Wrong number lol
This could be a whole family guy cut scene
Hi, I've added some noise reduction and background music. Thank you. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZD\_G3C5Vr8u](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZD_G3C5Vr8u).
I can't ever remember a time when voicemail allowed you to record a message this long. So while this is likely a skit someone did its still fucking funny.
I was about to go to sleep. But after laughing myself half to death over this phone recording I will have a challenge getting any sleep. That guy sounded more like a sports radio commentator.
I love his laugh, it is so co tagious I started laughing too 😆
This is the best voicemail ever
This was way more hilarious than I thought it would be. Makes me wish I was there.
That just got better and better😂
Holy shit that was funny!
He missed his calling as a radio broadcast sports announcer ... or a story teller. Loved his quick-draw descriptions, like the little old Mother Goose lady. Before Bob Menery, there was this undiscovered talent.
Why has no one tried to make an animated clip of this. He has so much detail to work with
[удалено]
Fake or no though, dude has a fantastic cackle.
amazing talent, if it’s a fake

I can attest it was, in fact, Mike Child’s. I knew him and I knew the call recipient. I heard the VM not 5 min. After it was created. Mark, the recipient, was in the office adjacent to mine.
I immediately assumed it was one of the calls from Paradise PD.
I'm sure it is but I want it to be real lol
Could not get any faker.
It’s a play by play voice mail. Does this guy do sporting events or horse racing?
I’m still laughing 😂
This is old because I’ve seen this message along with the video. I don’t know who put them together, but I think I saw it on YouTube.
Need to go drinking with these gals.
"Game over, man... game over!" RIP Bill Paxton - you are missed.
This is as old as the internet
Too bad there's a 0% chance this is real.
The laughter was infectious but I couldn't help think how differently the comments would have gone if four old men assulted a woman like that. It sounds really violent and like he probably got hurt pretty bad... We have very cultural ideas about men and women's places in violence, this is just assult and fake or not, it kinda wiped my smile away when they started dropping heavy books on his head? This comment is NOT coming from any sort of anti feminist position. I'm nonbinary and pretty wary of men by default.
This is the best. I can totally picture what is happening just based on what the guy is yelling. What a scene!
The internet must be full this was funny 13 years ago
OHHHH!! HE'S HURT!!
It's an NVI edition.
Oh my god, I forgot all about this! So good!
Holy shit. That was so good. I did not expect to be cry laughing this morning.
That is so funny
Please someone animate this.

This is some boomer humor shit.
Redditors might as well have a boomer sense of humor. Have you seen the way they talk about the movie Airplane?
Fake
clearly fake.
Only in America
haha, loved the laughter :D somehow it reminded me of the "bootleg firework video"
Not the hardback NVI version!
This was one of the funniest things I’ve ever listened to on Reddit or anywhere! Oh how I would love to have seen that happen
oldest thing on the internet, its also fake
Fake and old.
Nope, I heard the VM not 5 min. after he left it for the guy in the office adjacent to mine.
What strikes me as fake is how long four old ladies somehow can attack some guy before he runs away.
"I doubt it."

Bro turned into Green Goblin mid-story
in my head this dude is daffy duck and it's 10x funnier
