Wow...really? what a great/dumb idea.

I was just about to post this! 
 
They just did the first call. It was a user talking to Will. Pretty neat! 
 
Edit: Apparently that was the second call!

I believe just before that Sparkly phoned in.

I was quite lucky to find that just before the very first caller ever on that thing got through. Weirdly enough it was a female member. What are the odds of that!

Anyway, too bad I live in Norway, making calling that thing way to expensive. But I know I will keep the feed running now and then.

Keep on doing crazy stuff Whiskey Media!

I don't know what it is because I'm not a subscriber anymore. Someone care to elaborate?

@benjaebe: They have a live video broadcast of a big red phone. Anyone from the whiskey sites may answer the phone if anyone rings at any time and you just talk to them.

also audio quality sucks...

It's a 24-7 phone in the office that people can call in and chat to a random member. Call right now has been going on for a while now interesting talk.

@Durandir: I believe it was super user SparklyKiss

Pretty awesome.

Yup

@Sparklykiss: Hehe. Kinda cool being the first caller!

I wonder how many callers will be outside of the US....

Oooooo it was Lemon.

I doubt there'll be that many, it isn't skype so the long distance charges will be ridiculous.

They are going to regret this in a day or so when they realize that the phone will never stop ringing.

This is so stupid, what an absolutely fantastic idea.

This is why Whiskey Media is the best website.

My monies well-spent. I love all you crazy Whiskey folks!

This is crazy, there's a red phone in our office with people calling!

@Ezekeilpurger: Exactly. Which is why I won't be calling. Still cool to follow.

I'M NEVER GOING TO GET ANYTHING DONE!

WHY AM I WATCHING A RED PHONE?! WHY AM I ENJOYING WATCHING A RED PHONE!?

i just renewed my yearly membership but i don't think i will ever call but it is fun to watch and wait for someone to answer a Big Red Phone

I feel creepy watching this.

Someone was wondering why he was watching a rock roll down a hill in the recent Rock of Ages Quick Look, and I said to him "Next up, watching grass grow" .. Lucky for us they skipped that and went straight to this phone. So now we can watch that =D

Wow, this is incredible. Never thought they would go through with that idea. So you get to talk to bothers to pick up the phone??

This is fascinating.

It's like Whiskey Radio TIMES A THOUSAND. I think we all need a big red phone in our lives, right?

Edit - think I just saw Ryan's tattooed arm as he Babbabooed the caller and put the phone down on him. AMAZING SCENES.

Wow, Ryan just hung up on a guy, haha. Asshat xD

What the fuck even just happened?

Fuckin' Ryan hahahahahaha.

BABA BOOEY BABA BOOEYJEFF GERSTMANN'S PENIS

Norm's on now.

Yep. I can't not watch.

It's a problem.

Oh god. What am I going to do with my life now?

i know it was fucking hilarious

Haha, this is going to drive them nuts soon.

The only thing it is missing is the glass cover.

I only have one question: If they have a camera (and audio thingamjigs) on this the entire day, doesn't that take up like, I dunno, a lot of electricity? That electric bill must be off the chains with this.

Was there just a mis-dialed number?

I give a week before the red phone disappears never to be seen again.

I'm sure I had other things to do today than watch a red telephone in real-time, but I'll be darned if I can remember what they were.

@wumbo3000: I'd imagine that they already have a pretty large electric bill.

Someone got scared because a girl answered.

Yep.

OMG! Is this really happening?! I've spent 30 minutes staring at a phone! Nobody is even talking right now!

@Metal_Mills: Best thing so far!
