I was born in 80 and idk wtf this is. I was too busy calling KFC to ask them how big their breast were.
noahkb80 did you get an answer
It went extremely well! I received a broad range of answers. From "I dont know" to " 3 to 5 ounces" to "baby, you can't handle all these breastses". 😳👐😍🤣
The advent of *69 really threw a wrench in my prank call game.
I remember the first time I got called back. I didnt even know it was a thing!......
"Hello? Who is this ?!?!? Uh uh uh uh ....f*** you!" click

Why My UA-cam channel is Tim Hortons (obvious plug).
Tim Hortons takes over.
All phone numbers were mysterious in the 90's. When the phone rang, you didn't know who it was until you picked it up!
And you couldn't just Google a number either. I miss the mystery of the 90s
@Newsbender I dunno how to tell you pal, but the 90's fuckin sucked too
@Newsbender sorry but uh, nothing changed other then technology advanced, but its always been fucked
@Newsbender the fuck type of life did u think we lived in the 90s???? Shit has been fucked for the longest time you shelter baby
The 90s Aesthetic was nice but things were the same
In 97' me and my siblings were home alone one evening, and we got call after call to our home phone from an unknown number, every time we answered we could only hear loud, deep, heavy breathing, naturally we panicked and made sure all the doors and windows were locked so we could listen & wait for our mother to get home. Turns out it was my mother's new squeeze unknowingly leaning on his old school mobile, speed dialling us over and over while he ate a takeaway like an orc.
Someone once called me at like 7:30 in the morning before I went to work. I answered because the number had tried to call the previous day but I didn't pick up. They called and sounded like they were choking to death on the other end. I called back with no response and left a strongly worded voicemail and then proceeded to call the non-emergency dispatch line in my small town.
Later the number called back again. It was a 11 year old kid who told me that someone was "using their phone number to do prank calls" and got spooked because the police came to their house to check out of their was an issue (I guess they found the location from the phone number I gave to dispatch).
Never got another prank call from that number (wonder why!)
This made me laugh so hard omg
I thought you were going to say it was Jimmy Savile
I cant stop rereading the end and cackling like a maniac omg
😂😂😂😂😂@@un_ubcribed
I believe it means: To improve your golf game, count to 10, then scream like a siren before teeing off. That's my theory.
I worked in telecoms in UK, we used to play a 'screamer' tone automatically if a phone was left off the hook for a long time. The idea was, by attracting attention to the noise, the subscriber would get irritated and hang up the call. I assume 1-800 numbers have to pay something to their phone provider despite giving free calls to incoming calls. Perhaps this was to prevent the 0800 number accruing unnecessary charges for incoming calls..?
@@whowhatandwhere5477 wow that is quite possibly the smartest thing ive heard all year
who what and where 😹😹😹😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'd do this:I'd start saying "hello?" for about 3 minutes, then I'd put the caller on "semi-hold" after warning the caller, where I can listen and I do a "dut-dut" noise and if he replies, or if he touches any number, the "semi-hold" will be canceled.
Makes sense
I did computer maintenance during the 90's and used to use that number to check if my modems could dial successfully. I knew it would always answer and that nobody would be on it except a recording.
at least that's confirmation it existed. Im struggling to find anyone who remember it, and I grew up near St Catherines.
I had a man call me up and tell me that he was going to shoot himself in his head.
@@laurieberry4814 what?
@@emilyd.6371 yeah lol wtf
Lol
"List Trading" was a big thing in the late 80's and 90's, when you brought that up at the end it made perfect sense. Getting active phone numbers and selling lists of them made you lots of money.
"This call is sponsored by Raid Shadow Legends."
Your profile pic goes very well with your comment
Saying this is the most mysterious in the 90’s implies the existence of 00’s mysterious numbers, and 10’s mysterious numbers

In the 1980's we had the Devils phone number, so way more entertaining! Being a disgruntled kid forced to attend Catholic school I loved it. You dialed 666-6969 and it made horrid sounds, clicks, and screeches. By the mid 90's we learned what a modem sounded like and had flashbacks. :P

Ya, I'd like to take a look at this. I want to take a look at it in Audacity and see if I can't figure out whether the number playing is actually a recording of a person reading through a set of numbers, or some sort of digitally generates speach.
@@BarelySociable I caption phone calls- I often hear a screaming noise come through the lines. A lot of times, it's a really weird tone used for the hearing impaired to be able to hear, I believe. Maybe that's the "screaming/alarm"? I'm not sure if these tones were all to frequent at that time.
I worked at a hospital in the 90's in NM, but very close to the AZ border. They installed a 1-800 number so patients calling from AZ wouldn't have to pay long distance fees. At some point,, someone hijacked the number and was using it as a porn line. I once had an angry patient who came in and complained that he tried to call for a doctors appointment, but he got a woman named Candi who talked dirty to him. One of the nurses called the number and sure enough, Candi answered on the first ring! I love these phone mysteries.
Funny enough, I just tried the number and it gave me a medical center.
I remember this and I was always under the impression it was meant to be a joke. If you get frustrated with your game, count to ten until you calm down.

As a kid, I remember calling a "Santa Claus" hotline at christmas time. It was a flat rate call, where you got a new message from Santa each day leading up to Christmas. My parents let me call, and I remember staying on the line after the message ended for a few minutes. The line started beeping loudly, and then creepy recorded voices came on screaming "hang up the phone, hang up the phone!..." . They wanted to scare kids off the line, even if they put the phone down to free up the number for another caller.
Creepy

Come for Santa, stay for Robot Santa

@@Xvladin LMAO
Our local bank's time and temp phone number (remember those) became a kid's party line. Someone found out if you stayed on after the time and temp message, you were on with other callers. So of course kids from all over the county called and talked to each other. It was the forerunner of a chat room where you actually chatted verbally. 😂

I definitely think the last theory is more plausible. As it is, when you answer spam numbers nowadays, you'll end up with even more phonecalls so it'd make sense that before the age of random generated phone number algorithms, they'd come up with something more sneaky.
There used to be so many fun pre recorded lines you could call. I don’t remember the name, but there was one for giving giving out as a wrong number if you didn’t want to give your real one to someone, and there was also one to give people that would tell them they had bad breath 😂 Those were from like 2007-2010 though, not the 90s.

Let's take a look at his impersonation
"When I learned that smoking cost me over 3000 a year,"
"Siren" at the end was common from landline companies, once the call content was terminated. As it was a free phone number, the termination comes from the server side. The scream/beep/siren is to awake/alert "you've left the phone off the hook" which would prevent you from receiving other calls and which ties up exchange capacity. Really not a surprise
This sound was especially loud, probably so that you could hear it from relatively far away since you may have set the receiver down wrong, missing the buttons that actually disconnected you from the system, and wandered off. (Sorry if that sounded confusing. I didn’t realize how alien an old telephone might be to some readers until I had already started this.)
This automatic off-hook sound was actually an improvement. In the olden times, when there was a human operator making the connection between the two callers, some poor lady (operators were almost always female - my mother was one in fact) had to scream as loud as she could “Hey, you left your phone off the hook! HANG UP YOUR PHONE!”
Jody Owen Knowing my Mom, she probably didn’t miss a thing. Though she likely only shared the best stuff with her friends, so yeah, relatively discrete :-)
I was only a kid, actually, so I wasn’t involved in the phone-company-employee surveillance. We did, however, have a party-line for much of my childhood. This was an occasional source of entertainment, but was usually pretty boring. Of course, it became more significant the day I cut the end of my thumb off and the neighbors wouldn’t get off the line so we could call an ambulance. But we kept pressure on it and by the time the line was free, most of the bleeding had stopped. A few stitches and I was good as new.
@@gitcheljr The Phone Cops! ua-cam.com/video/cTPzTG1Lx60/v-deo.html Funny how Johnny was right. Just cuz you're paranoid _doesn't_ mean they're not out to get you , and in 2019 we know they are.
"I advise against calling"
"It's home to an erotic hotline"
So why're you advising against it? Sounds like a good time to me.
When I was a kid, the police used to call my house every time I misbehaved. They would tell my dad I was going to jail, but if I cried enough my dad would convince them to let me off again
Wut

lol
you mean your dads friend called him and pretended he was the police but u were a kid so it doesnt matter
I saw you somewhere. I can't remember where. All I remember is that you're Indian. Right?
I found this on a comments section in an article about the number:
I can explain to you exactly what this was all about. Around 1995 my uncle who is Lebanese(not Indian) worked/volunteer for the PGA. At that time members of the PGA decided to pay for a hot line where you could call and receive golf tips from around a hundred PGA members that were attending the Tommy Armour Teaching and Coaching and Summit in New Orleans that year. The line was active but for about a week until the board received a massive bill for all the toll free calls made that week. No one wanted to pay the bill and it remained in dispute for years. Now the message you hear is my uncle testing the line when it was initially set up. At the time you had to record numerous prompts so you can direct the callers what numbers to press. Upon filling the dispute, the phone company removed all the prompts and deactivated the numbers you can press and it defaulted to his initial test recording. now the funny part. My Uncle originally lived in Canada, his credit and address was based in Canada and he was the one that volunteered to apply for the account. After the bill was disputed we realized that if you called the number on certain regions in Canada, you would hear him counting and if you didn’t hang up you’d hear a screech that was actually the original recording being rewound. The phone company on paper deemed the number out of service and paid no attention to the voicemail millions of people heard. Prior to the summit the PGA board talked numerous outlets in both Canada and the states to print the number for free as an upcoming promotion and that’s why the number was posted in many papers and even on some billboards. in 1996 people caught on about this and rumors began to spread. Many college newspapers printed the number in ominous looking adverts as pranks and it went on for several years until the number was sold to a bulk dialer that was previously a bulk 976 erotic for pay number. My Uncles name was Basem, there was nothing ominous about the number, it was an ongoing topic in our family for years and then forgotten about until someone sent me the link to this.”

I remember in the mid-to late 80's (don't know if it works now), that if you dialed from say, your phone in the kitchen 450-and then your last 4 #'s of your land lined own phone #, that it would ring the other phone/phones in the house and you could talk like a walkie talkie. Strange I know. A phone tech showed me that trick as a kid.

I would use this to derail the girl I slept with the night before.
I would call my #,pretend it was work,and tell her I got called in to work and had to leave.

im a mid 80s baby so i was a kid in the 90s, me and my friends called our share of random 1800 numbers... if it spelt a word there was a 1800 number attached to it, sometimes they were just place holders in the hopes that someone would want that number and would buy it from the owner. IMO thats what this was, much like people buy websites today and then resell them when the URL becomes relevant to another entity.
BRO I WORK AT THAT TIM HORTONS IN ST CATHARINES THIS IS EPIC

“Remember to like, comment and smash that subscribe button!” Oh wait, you said none of those things but provided a pretty interesting video with quite a bit of effort put into it. Liked, commented and subscribed.
Yes love the gesture of creators making quality content being humbled and keeping it for the end lol everyone else pushes you n shiiiit
But did you smash the button or press it gently?

There is an alternative hypothesis. Espionage. There used to be radio broadcasts that were just a list of numbers and were used to secretly communicate encrypted messages to spies without leaving traces. This could be a similar thing, and the pauses could be significant for the decryption.
Although it does beg the question of why it was advertised on a billboard. Perhaps counter espionage or to intentionally make lots of people use it, so that individual spies couldn't be identified.
I graduated high school in '95, and I don't remember this. At all. But I *do* remember the paper-clip-in-the-tiny-hole-of-the-pay-phone-and-mouthpiece-to-get-a-free-call trick. I also remember you could dial 958 and the last 4 digits of the phone you were on, wait for the dial tone, hang up, and scare the shit out of yourself and your friends when it rang.

so odd to watch this randomly this morning and to see a street 5 mins away from you, not much happens in st. catharines. this is cool
This could be even more scarier if that middle east man was counting backwards.
I'm in Canada, and I remember the guy counting! I was about 12, and that was in 1993! What a throw back.
Was it scary?
Good thing we bigfoots didn't even start using phones until like 15 years ago
You comment on like every single video I watch. I cannot tell if we just have exactly the same interest. Or there are multiple accounts with this name.

Thanks, a 12 minute video that doesn’t explain crap.
Still pretty interesting
Well its because nobody knows whats going on. Imagine all mysteries were solved? And you knew the answers to everything? How fun would that be... the unknown is so... exciting... scary...... eerie... . .

@@BarelySociable mate, you're one of the few people I'll watch on mobile data as soon as a new video is released
His content really is special. From the delivery, voice and the visuals, he nails it every time. I just hope he doesn't start making top ten videos of over saturated content and rehashed videos!
Not many ppl understand what you’re saying lol
@@mustbemeech 1k likes disagree.
The recording is a MK Ultra mind control trigger. As a teenager I pranked random local numbers in Florida and remember one without an accent counting down from ten
Barely Sociable, you’re ridiculously intelligent & talented. Good shit, man.
I don't know how these videos are so good. My standards are thrown out the window watching these.
This is worded in such a way that it’s sounds weirdly insulting but it’s not haha.
@@ElysetheEevee haha sorry im not the best at wording things
The editing is on point, the audio quality is fantastic, and he is one of the few narration based channels where the narrator actually has a voice that’s pleasing to listen to, and actually knows how to read properly.
@@woottastic You mean the same background graphics he probably bought somewhere or got royalty free is good editing?
now that you have lowered ur standards please call the number and get it in
There's probably some guy out there who recorded it on his portable cassette recorder as a teenager and he's like "damn" because he can't find the tape.

I'm from Windsor Ontario and born in 79. I totally remember 1800 golf tip from the 90s! I forgot all about it until seeing this video! Crazy!
There was a number in the mid to late 80s we used to call that was just a group of people laughing hysterically over and over on a loop. Can't remember the number.
Let’s take a look at his impersonation

It's just a recording of a test for the line when it was a line for golfing tips
It's a person's uncle I believe testing it and the large screech at the end is the record being rewound

I just found your channel today and I have watched every single of your videos, wish there was more but its the best quality I have ever seen. Definitely was surprised that your videos were so interesting because I didnt see most of those topics in any other channel that I have watched. Very original.
Now *this* is something that only 90’s kids will remember
I fucking remember
