Prompt: Uh, say yours real quick. I'm gonna time you. Adjudication: Oh, 21 seconds. Result qualification: I stand corrected. I'm ecstatic that my attempt actually, actually managed to, to still be lower than your made-up number. Response context: Did you guys catch there was no area code for the phone number? Was that a mistake, or that's because back then they didn't have them? It feels late. Brad, what year was it? 2003. Pretty sure they rolled out nationally, the area codes at that point. I thought it was after, yes, right after September 11th. Yep. That was the first act of the president. We're going to fight terror. We're going to know where everyone is located. Exactly. I found Frasier, like, weirdly tolerable as a cat he shut in. Like, compared to him dealing with humans, he sucks. Dealing with cats? Like, this kind of fit his character a lot, I thought. Agreed. Okay, I, sorry, I was very distracted. Apparently, this change would have happened in 1995. See, this is like eight years in. Yeah, like, way too late. But you know that Fuddy Duddy Frazier is not going to start saying three extra numbers. Like, he can't be bothered. I guess, yeah, I guess if you're just trying to remember the numbers, you don't have to remember the area code, probably. But, I don't know. Didn't seem realistic to me. Cancel the show, please. They're already giving out the fake 555 numbers because of television. Do you think they were also just like, ah, not, ten numbers are so many. Can we just cut the, we gotta cut this script down. We gotta make time. Let's just lose the extra three numbers. We gotta shave off 22 seconds, guys. How are we gonna do it? I'm sorry. Can it take you 22 seconds to say your area code? Uh, say yours real quick. I'm gonna time you. Three. Yeah. Three. Yeah. And then, the last number is, what are we doing? Um, the area code. Zero. Oh, 21 seconds. Yeah, I guess that is one time. I stand corrected. I'm ecstatic that my attempt actually, actually managed to, to still be lower than your made-up number.
