Rails Envy: We ain't got no RSpec

We ain't got no RSpec - Best Voicemail Ever

by gregg on Jul 17, 2008

For those of you who don't consistently listen to the Rails Envy podcast, here's a story that's worth a good laugh.

The Backstory: A few weeks ago Jason put together a Rails Envy Voicemail number so people could call in and leave messages about the podcast. We encouraged people to leave their feedback, let us know about stories, or ask any questions they wanted answered.

Last week "R. Elliot", a regular listener and commenter, left us this voicemail. I have to hand it to R. Elliot, he gave us a great laugh and gave us some great material.
Length: 1:14

Later when we were recording the podcast, Jason recommended I make a dance remix of the phone call. I couldn't resist, so:

I whipped out Garage Band, found some good hip hop beats, and here is the awesomeness of what resulted.
Length: 1:37

Let me know what you think, and feel free to check out our most recent Rails Envy Podcast. Maybe even leave your own crazy voicemail at 407-409-8440.

The phone call was pretty funny but the remix was genius. Haha so funny.

Very nice job. Great voicemail and remix. Nice to start the day with a smile. :)

Thanks for the laughs. Is this supposed to be making fun of the “Rails is a Ghetto” rant from Zed?

Reminds me of Green Velvet’s answering machine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIb1AMXX7jw

You must have been wiping the tears away doing the mix. That was hilarious! I can see “We ait got no rspec” becoming a catch phrase. Thanks for the laugh.

Pure Comedy Gold, gents.

I just wanted to give the heads up that the website mentioned is very NSFW. As Jason said it “cannot be unseen”. So, careful.

Evan Light – July 17, 2008 @ 08:47 PM

It takes a nerd to like that. Therefore I loved it!

Speaking of NSFW, somebody really needs to make some serious fun of this:

Gah… that remix will probably be in my head for weeks now. Awesome and horrible all at the same time. Thanks Gregg !
