AI GeneratedBob Wilson wakes up his neighbor, Paul Milgram, to deliver the extraordinary news that Paul has won the Nobel Prize. Because Paul had turned off his phones, the Nobel Committee was unable to reach him, leading Bob to visit him in person in his pajamas to ensure the message was delivered.
Paul? Paul?
Paul?
It's Bob Wilson.
Yeah.
You've won the Nobel Prize.
And so, they're trying to reach you, but they cannot.
They don't seem to have a number for you.
We gave them your cell phone number.
Yeah, I have. Wow.
Look at my gal.
Okay.
Hello, Paul.
Will you answer your phone?
You need to let them be able to call you.
I can't hear you.
The speaker here is breaking up.
Pretty good news and a good way to learn about it.
Well, I made the mistake of thinking it was a political call,
and so I unplugged the phone, so then they called my wife's cell phone.
But we had kind of a comedy because Paul Milgram here,
who lives just across the street from me,
had turned off all of his phones,
and the Nobel Committee could not reach him.
So I had to come over and knock on the door in my pajamas to wake him up.
So we had an encounter at the front door.
Hey, Paul, you won the Nobel Prize.
