11 of the Funniest Prank Calls You’ve Never Heard
Remember when you were a kid and the best form of entertainment in the world was finding the perfect victim to prank call? Well, even though the advent of caller ID has made this pastime much more difficult, the trend still carries on. Whether you’re looking for inspiration for your next call, wanting to take a walk down memory lane, or just get a good laugh—you just have to hear these recorded prank calls.
1. Looking back, I was probably about 12 years old when I used to prank call. Here’s a kid of the same age calling… drum roll… a prostitute.
2. Sometimes people use prank calls for good. This radio show host calls a guy while his girlfriend secretly listens on the line. The guy reveals that he has a wife and the unknowing girlfriend lets him have it.
3. These days, impersonating a celebrity is easier than ever with character sound boards. With a little help, Peter Griffin gives Geico a call.
4. Have you ever prank called your own parents? This girl sets up her parents and exposes their racism.
5. Another classic thing to do is call a store and ask for an embarrassing product. Butt plugs anyone?
6. Becky wants her school destroyed. So she calls a demolition crew.
7. Can you believe even Al Pacino prank calls people? Okay, it’s not really him. But it sounds like him. And he sounds like he wants to kick someone’s ass.
8. Sometimes it’s most fun to call a random number with no plan at all. Free style it.
9. Have you ever dealt with the people at Best Buy? So annoying. Here they get a taste of their own medicine.
10. It seems that not even governors are immune to prank calls. Radio shows always do it right.
11. I’ve never called a customer support line that wasn’t a complete pain in the ass. Why haven’t I ever thought of prank calling them?

Review – Ahnu Hiking Shoes
I recently received a pair of Ahnu hiking shoes, and I gotta say, they’re pretty comfy. I consider myself more of a couch-potato than an outdoorsy type, but I decided to give my pair of Ahnu Men’s Moraga Mesh shoes a proper test drive. So I went for a quick hike in some drizzly weather conditions.
The shoes fit comfortably – not too tight, not too loose. My hike was by no means extreme, but I did hit some rocky-wet terrain. The shoes breathed well, but didn’t let any puddle splatter in, which was great. No overheating and no exposure to the elements, which was a nice balance.
The bottom sole is both firm and flexible, allowing for stable foot placement that wasn’t too rigid and still left me with good range of motion. The bottom traction action is the best part about these shoes. Even in slippery conditions I was able to get solid foot planting while hiking in the hills. If I was sporting my usual pair of Sauconys, I would’ve been treading super lightly, but the grip action of the bottom sole let me hike at a brisk pace without any fear of skids or slippage.
It also helps that these shoes look cool. Most hiking shoes look like paramilitary accessories, but I’d wear these things with some jeans and not even think twice about it. The back hoop makes for quick entry into these shoes too, so whenever I need some quality walking or hiking kicks, I can slap these guys on real quick.
Again, I’m not a super all-terrain type guy, but the Ahnu hiking shoes might make me rethink that. It’s nice to get out and about and conquer some nature, even in small doses. The balance, fit, appearance and traction on slickness certainly make these kicks a worthwhile addition to your closet.
Check out the Ahnu website to see more examples of outdoor shoes that provide comfort and support for a variety of outdoor activities.

21 Random People You’ll See in Vegas
Whenever you’re in Vegas, you come across some interesting people. There’s the stereotypical loud types, super drunk types, drop dead gorgeous types and so on, but there’s also a bunch of other random characters that you’ll encounter when you’re in Sin City. Here’s 21 random people you’ll see in Vegas:
The Old Asian Dude Who Knows Dice Control and Can Win You Bank at the Craps Table
If you like craps, find the table with the four-foot Asian dude with the glasses and the slouch. If you see him setting the dice as he picks ‘em up, camp out at that table and just enjoy your winnings. When he leaves, you need to leave too.
Aggressive Mechanical Wheelchair Guy
Dude, I’m trying to get out of your way but you need to slow down on those turns, buddy. I know you got a disability and all, but that doesn’t give you the right to mow people down with your high-speed bulldozer-chair.
The Chick with the Bad Boob Job
Wait a minute, there’s something wrong with those basketballs bolted on your chest. They might look good from afar, but when you get too close, the cross-eyed nipples start staring at you in opposite directions. Big boobs look great and all, but those south-by-northeast nips just ain’t right.
Pornstar Asian Chicks
Wait a minute, that super-stacked, blond-haired blue-eyed shorty isn’t a white girl? Nope, she’s one of those pornstar Asian chicks. These down-to-get-down Tila Tequilla-types never travel alone. There’s always at least seven or eight of ‘em. You’ll know their coming when you hear the click-clack-shuffle of massive heels being dragged on the marble floor at the Venetian.
The Pool Prowler
Young kids who go to Vegas don’t even have a gambling agenda. They just want to live the Jersey Shore dream with a $1500 poolside cabana complete with vodka bottle service and your choice of mixer. Tanned dudes flex their six-backs and big-breasted 90-pound birds showcase more T&A than you’ll see at strip clubs that serve booze. In this environment, you’ll always find that Creepy McCreepster guy who’s too old and filthy-looking to be hanging around the pool. He’s probably not even lookin’ for action. He’s just categorizing images for his spank bank and hoping to see a nipple slip when some blondie’s using a towel to remove wetness from her pink string bikini.
The Bald Guy with the Fanny Pack
Look man, I know you’re on vacation and I know you have a ton of shit to carry, but the tucked-in t-shit and shorts with a fanny pack and comfortable running shoes just sends out a rob me signal to the entire world. Man up, put some pants on, store stuff in your pockets and tell your nagging wife to shut the hell up.
The Explosive Shitter in the Bathroom
I don’t know if it’s the beer-shits or the buffet-shits or some killer combo of the two, but you can’t visit a casino bathroom without hearing some sort of crazy asstastrophe going on. Dude, can I get a courtesy flush on that butt-shrapnel?
The Girl Who’s Just Not Hot Enough
Vegas makes you horny. Maybe it’s the booze or the pros or all the titties on display, but when you’re in Vegas, you start to think that anyone’s shaggable. Well, almost everyone. There’s always that girl who’s just not hot enough. Maybe she’s got a poor face-to-body or body-to-face grade. Maybe’s she’s just a little too chunky or too crazy. Whatever it is, you’ll always find a chick on the bubble who just misses the cutoff, even when you’re blasted and seeing double.
The Old Local Lifer with the WTF Haircut
Oh man, Vegas locals are a trip. They got their funny t-shirts and physical deformities (like a neck barnacle or an extra back or some shit). A majority of these locals have the most ridiculous haircuts you’ve ever see. Like the lady with the 5-2 step-mullet-fade that’s half highlighted and half spikey. Strange.
The Dude Who Just Got Out of Jail and Needs Money
If some shady white dude with neck tats tries to chat you up at the slots, don’t engage. The dude just got out of jail and he needs money to get back home. He was put in jail because of a long story involving his girlfriend, a crowbar and peanut butter. Don’t offer him a ride and don’t give him any money.
Raider Fans
Raider fans are everywhere, especially in Vegas. Raider fans have the dumbest football IQ of any fan group. These guys yell stupid shit at the Sportsbook to cheer their team on even when the Raiders aren’t playing. They always think the Raiders are going to win, and a couple times each year, they’re right.
Fat Chicks Who Travel in Packs
With all the amazing tail on display in Vegas, chubby girls have it rough. They need to stick together. When was the last time you saw one fat girl by herself in a casino? It doesn’t happen. Large girls know they need to travel in packs to minimize their maximum exposure.
Drunken Business Bros
We’re at a conference bro! I’m gonna get so wasted that I may even untuck my shirt at 3am. No promises though! Let’s high-five and yell whenever we double down or split 8s at the blackjack table. I can’t believe you didn’t hook up with Kimberly from marketing, bro. She was so into you!
Three Greasy Hipster Dudes with One Grimy Skinny Chick
Hipsters travel in disproportionate girl-to-guy ratios. Typically you’ll see three flanneled ironic-facial haired PBR drinkers to every one bright-plastic-eyeglass-wearing pale and depressed looking skinny gal with satirical high tops and a haircut from the future. I don’t know why this is.
Old Oxygen Tank Guy
Look, I’m no doctor, but if you’re wheeling around an oxygen tank in a smoke filled slot pit, maybe you need to find another spot to spend your Tuesday afternoons. I know they pump extra oxygen in the casino, but that’s gotta be offset by the cancer cave-like conditions near the Wheel of Fortune games.
Prostitute?
Wait is this smoking hot broad laughing at my jokes because it’s 5am and we’re the only two people left at the bar? Or is my bankroll about to take a surprise hit from a professional lady of the night? It’s really hard to tell sometimes. Girls in Vegas like to go extra slutty with it. If you’re unsure whether or not the hot chick you hit it off with is a pro, don’t ask her. That’s just bad form. If for some reason she’s not, you’re gonna blow it. Concoct a story of lost wealth so she knows you got nothing left to spend for the evening. If she is a professional, she’ll move on.
The Dapper Old Dude with Cut Up Plastic Jailbait
Nothing’s creeper than seeing some slick old-timer with huge shades, a fitted burgundy suit and gold chains walking around with a 17-year old brunette who just got done with her 17th augmentation surgery.
Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties
There’s nothing funnier than a large group of horny bachelor party dudes who can’t get into a club ‘cause there’s not one chick among them. Well, that’s not true. Seeing a wild back of bachelorette party girls who are walking around with hungry eyes and dildos and goofy matching t-shirts is also pretty entertaining.
The Cheapskate
You know, the guy who camps out at the buffet so he can catch the breakfast and the lunch rotation. Or the guy who lingers around the slots to get a free drink and then doesn’t tip the waitress. In Vegas, cheap bastards are everywhere. You can spot them by their shifty eyes and willingness to fake gamble for long periods of time just to score a Bud Light.
Wedding Party Girls Looking for Action
Nothing’s more romantic than getting married in Vegas. It’s every girl’s dream, really. Well, maybe not every girl, but girls who are around other girls who just got married want to get down something fierce. That’s a fact. If you see a pack of casino skirts who look like they’re going to church, you know what to do.
Sad Children
Vegas is so much fun for adults. Things get tricky when you bring the kids, though. Sure there are responsible parents who just love spending family time together watching those outrageous blue man guys do their outrageous blue man thing, but most of the time, if you see kids at a casino in Vegas, they look sad as hell. There’s only so much TV you can watch when mom and dad are burning through your college tuition during a 13-hour slot bender. Don’t park junior at the buffet. Leave the kids at home.

Balvenie 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask – LA Launch Celebration
Last week, the MANjr team attended the LA launch of Balvenie’s 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask, an extra smooth single malt scotch that starts it’s life in a whisky barrel and finishes up in a golden Caribbean rum cask. The Cuban/Carribean-themed tasting event took place at La Descarga, a nifty bar that gives you a taste of old Havana in Hollywood.
The entrance to the venue set the tone for the night. After climbing up some stairs you walk into a plain-looking office room and are greeted by a host. The host then opens up a cabinet door and instructs you to enter. After you push aside some Hawaiian shirts you see a metallic spiral staircase in front of you that descends into a chill bar/lounge with an intimate speakeasy vibe.
A special Caribbean-inspired cocktail menu was prepared that featured five different scotch concoctions:
- Stirred Up Scotsman
- Wembley Sour
- Caribbean Swizzle
- Blood and Sand
- Caribbean Handcraft Punch
After sampling the light and breezy Stirred Up Scotsman, I shifted my attention to the Blood and Sand. I sipped quite a few drinks that night (including the frothy, egg-white powered Wembley Sour), but this cocktail was by far my favorite.
A quick journey to the back of the bar revealed a walkway to a much appreciated, semi-outdoor cigar lounge where the awesome Aussie bartender was serving up single-malt tasters of multiple Balvenie bottles. The Balvenie Caribbean Cask was a smooth vehicle, but I enjoyed the entire Balvenie fleet.
After knocking back a few drinks, it was time to grab a snack. The event was catered by a fantastic Cuban food truck. Café Con Leche had great coffee, delicious sandwiches and they even incorporated the Caribbean Cask action into some custom sauces that totally completed the sandwich.
The quality scotch and savory Cuban food were both big hits, but the highlight of the night was the 5-minute presentation by Nicholas Pollacchi, the Balvenie Ambassador. I’ve been to scotch tastings before where the ambassador of the spirit lays it down real thick. Like you really have a palette sophisticated enough to identify 35 different complimentary combinations of aromatic mixological madness. Pollacchi’s approach was much better. A quick, light-hearted presentation on the spirit followed by a tasting that let the scotch speak for itself. As Nicholas put it, he’s not a big fan of highlighting the taste of “children playing in daffodils” or quality ingredients “picked by left-handed people.” He lets the spirit do the talking. It was an efficient and entertaining showcase that allowed the taste of the Caribbean Cask to take center stage.

Photo Gallery – Natalina Maggio
Chances are you’ve seen hottie Natalina Maggio in a quite few places. The head-turner has appeared in multiple TV and film projects. Most recently, you can spot her in flicks like Couples Retreat, Get Him to the Greek, Iron Man 2 and The Social Network. We’re looking forward to seeing this Orange County native in many more hot girl roles. In the meantime, enjoy these shots from photographer Jimmy Santos.

Week 5 NFL Picks
Let’s not talk about last week’s unfortunate set of 4-10 picks. Kudos to you if you knew that the Steelers would lose in the last 36 seconds, the Broncos would come back to win, the Packers and Saints wouldn’t come close to covering and the lowly Jags would topple the mighty Colts. Last week pushed me under .500 for the season. 27-31-3 to be exact. Let’s try to right the ship in Week 5.
At Baltimore -7 Denver
The Ravens aren’t as dominant in stopping the run as they once were. That’s great ‘cause the Broncos don’t have a running game anyway. You might have heard that Kyle Orton is the best fantasy player of all time, but even if he throws the ball 50 times, it’ll be hard to light up the scoreboard against a Ravens team playing at home and coming off an emotional win in Pittsburgh.
PICK: Baltimore -7
At Buffalo -1 Jacksonville
The Bills got absolutely embarrassed last week and the Jags got their biggest win in a long time. Look for a correction of sorts as the Bills move closer to respectability and the Jags come back down to Earth a bit. Still, if the Jags can keep the ground game rolling and get TE Marcedes Lewis involved against a Buffalo team that has trouble against the run and TEs, then the Jags should win on the road.
PICK: Jags +1
At Indianapolis -7 Kansas City
I don’t know what’s more surprising, the fact that the Colts have two losses or the Chiefs have none. The Colts aren’t going to lose this game. If the Chiefs somehow remain unbeaten after facing a pissed off Peyton Manning, they’ll shock the world. A win for Indy seems much more likely.
PICK: Colts -7
At Detroit -3 St. Louis
Shaun Hill’s had a couple good weeks, and the Lions are the best winless team ever, but Jahvid Best isn’t right yet and Sam Bradford is bringing boyish swagger to a much-improved Rams team. If Best was healthy, I’d say Detroit all the way, but he’s just not 100 percent. Stephan Jackson proved he can be a beast even when he isn’t healthy, and the Rams defense is playing inspired.
PICK: Rams +3
Atlanta -3 At Cleveland
The Falcons barely squeaked by the Niners last week thanks to Roddy White’s amazing forced fumble. Cleveland pulled off the upset against Cincy and showed that they can actually win games with good defense and large servings of Peyton Hillis. You got to love how Hillis has changed the identity of this team, but the Falcons are going to stay take this one. They just have too many weapons.
PICK: Falcons -3
At Cincinnati -6.5 Tampa Bay
I like the Bucs. The Steelers clobbered ‘em, but other than that they’ve been pretty solid this year. The Bengals just look off.
PICK: Bucs +6.5
At Carolina -1.5 Chicago
For the second straight week, the Chicago Bears game promises to be the most unwatchable game on the schedule. Julius Peppers returns to face the team he hates, but this much more to hate in this Todd Collins vs. Jimmy Clausen battle. Chicago’s ground game is nowhere and Todd Collins can’t get it done. Will Chicago’s defense and special teams step up and create some much needed points? Do yourself a favor, bet the under and don’t watch a minute of this horrible game.
PICK: Under!
Green Bay -2.5 At Washington
Green Bay is better than Washington. There are no revenge plot lines this time around for McNabb. Just a better opposing team. Packers win easy.
PICK: Packers -2.5
At Houston -3 NY Giants
Wow, who knew the Giants were so damn good at rushing the passer? You know what helps combat that? A sick-ass rushing game behind surprise-beast Arian Foster. The G-men will get their chances, but Houston will prevail in a shoot out.
PICK: Texans -3
New Orleans -6.5 At Arizona
Max Hall, baby! He’s the new Kurt Warner, I tell ya. Well, that’s what Peter King and Kurt Warner think. Personally, I’d like to see the guy take a snap in the NFL before crowning him the next feel-good sensation. The Saints are without Pierre Thomas, but so what? They ran the ball effectively last week with Ivory and Betts. Drew Brees hasn’t looked like his cyborg self lately, but the Saints are lightyears beyond the Cardinals.
PICK: Saints -6.5
San Diego -6 At Oakland
The Polish Rifle keeps bringing the Raiders within winning distance, but the Chargers are rolling. I’ll take Antonio Gates and that defense over Bruce’s heroics.
PICK: Chargers -6
At Dallas -7 Tennessee
I just don’t trust the Cowboys. I don’t really trust the Titans either, but in this coin-flip matchup, I’ll bet on Cortland Finnegan to pick up another fine and the Titans to edge out the Boys in Dallas.
PICK: Titans +7
At San Francisco -3 Philadelphia
This one’s tough. Does Kolb play like the preseason fantasy stud we all thought he’d be? Do the Niners rebound from a gut-wrenching loss and defend the honor of their beleaguered coach at home? I think the edge has to go to the home team here. If Alex Smith can minimize his mistakes and if the defense plays like it has been playing, the Niners should earn a win.
PICK: 49ers -3
At NY Jets -4 Minnesota
So many storylines here. Revis vs. Moss. Favre vs. his own Johnson. Adrian Peterson getting more room to run. The possibility that Percy Harvin can light it up with all the attention going to Randy. But if you forget about all that’s new and improved with the Vikings, you realize that the Jets are in top form right now. LT’s found his groove, Sanchez is playing remarkably well and if anyone can contain all of Minny’s weapons, it’s the Jets D. Gotta go New York here.
PICK: Jets -4
