Behold, The Blissful Confusion Of Two Drongos Who’ve Been Tricked Into Talking To Each Other

If you’ve ever been a bored jerk teenager, chances are you’ve already discovered the fact you can trick two people into talking to one another over the phone. Using two devices set to private and put on speakerphone, you dial both numbers in unison and hold the phones about 10cm apart to avoid the mysterious magnetic alien sex sounds (a dead giveaway). Then, with both parties convinced they’re on the receiving end of the call, you hold your breath and watch the magic unfold.

You know this already. You’ve lived. You’ve felt the rush of pure adrenaline and ecstasy course through your veins.

But, odds are, you have never seen it unfold quite like this:

Uploaded to Reddit overnight and currently sitting at the top of r/Australia, this clip has so much to love. There’s the sneaky interjection to get the now-notorious Paul on the line. There’s the swift transition from both men calling each other “mate” to “dickhead”. Then there’s the fact that both of ’em, the right pair of flamin’ galahs, stayed on the line to cop abuse for over a full minute.

The only way it could be better is if both men — that bloody cockhead Paul and whatever other fuckin’ mongrel was on the line — are actually also the pranksters’ dads. No dad is safe in this country.
