In my day, if you butt dialed someone it was with a rotary phone and only the manliest set of buttocks could do it!

Rudy and Robert Pattinson makes a sort of sense, they are the two worst vampires ever

It's not a random wrong number. It has to be something that is accessible through a couple of random touches to the screen, like in your list of recent calls or some sort of speed dial. You stick the phone in your pocket and don't put it to sleep, you reach in for your keys, your fingers come in contact with the screen and boom, you've called the New Yorker.

I have on occasion when having my semi-smart phone in my hip pocket that a number got dialed inadvertently, and I didn't actually know it had happened until I got a call back for someone wondering why I had called their number.

Yes, this is exactly what we're talking about. Obviously this reporter was someone whom Giuliani talked with and had probably talked with recently.

At that point you've activated a bugging device in your pocket, so what it's hearing is whatever you're saying in real life to whoever is around you. That's why we heard two voices.

I think it began with Dubya assigning them to protect oil structures in the Middle East. They were even used to train the Iraqi navy. Go figure.

Too much Turkey will give you man-gas.

I was hoping some Wonker Coast Guard and/or military type might be able to shed light on this. I do google stuff, but I kind of like getting the take from people I ... er... consort with.

an increase in trouble, of course, is exactly what worries me here

Also able to do it: guys with pencil-thin but rock hard dicks.

Rudy needs a phone with the butt-recognition feature.

Nobody admitted to any crimes?

Fat chance of Trump appointing either of you two to a temporary cabinet post.

Biden doesn't a chance against Rudy, the Simone Biles of gaffes.

Yanno, I'm cool with that, especially so long as yam doesn't try to do a bad mockery of husband's and my canoodling chat. Because then it would be game on.

What's the frequency, Kenneth currency, Robert?

It's also possible (and I think it was the case for when the reporter was at a birthday party) that he tried to call the reporter, it went to voicemail, then Rudy just put his phone back in his pocket without realizing that he didn't end the call.
