00:00 Hey, y'all.
00:01 It's Coco Jones, and I am gonna be prank calling
00:04 my friends and family, everyone in my contact list.
00:07 This is "Phoning It In."
00:10 Honestly, I've been so busy,
00:11 I haven't been returning a lot of people's calls,
00:13 so I feel like they're all gonna be a little salty with me.
00:16 Where you been? Working.
00:18 All right. Let's do this.
00:22 Guys, I'm really nervous.
00:24 This one is too much. You guys,
00:26 say the Grammys are rescinding your nominations
00:28 and you're not sure why.
00:30 I think I'm gonna call Terrell on this one.
00:32 Terrell is my bestie.
00:34 He's actually, like, huge in the music industry himself.
00:37 He has an amazing Terrell Show platform.
00:39 Dear God! I'm so scared.
00:43 [ Phone ringing ]
00:46 -Hi. -You're not gonna believe this.
00:50 -What happened? You okay?
00:52 -I'm just, like, beside myself.
00:54 Tell me why the Grammys are rescinding my nominations.
00:58 -What? No, no. No.
01:00 -Terrell. Yes.
01:02 -What are you talking about? -I don't know why.
01:04 We're shook. Me and my team are shook right now.
01:07 -What is the reasoning? -I don't have an answer.
01:09 I want to know myself.
01:11 They're making calls. We're scrambling.
01:13 Have you ever heard of something like this?
01:14 -Never in my life. There's no way.
01:17 Hold on. -I know.
01:19 It's all over the news. Google it.
01:20 [ Phone ringing ]
01:23 -I don't see anything.
01:24 -Yeah, that's 'cause that's a prank, baby.
01:25 I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
01:28 I'm with "Elle."
01:30 I'm with "Elle."
01:32 I'm with "Elle" magazine right now.
01:33 I'm doing a prank segment. I'm sorry.
01:36 -I love you. I hate you so much.
01:37 -Love you. Call you later. -Bye.
01:39 -Bye.
01:41 That was hilarious. I'm so sorry, Terrell.
01:43 The next prompt --
01:45 Pretend you just found this phone
01:46 and you're trying to return it to the owner.
01:49 This time, I'm gonna call Ella Mae.
01:52 I'll see if she picks up.
01:53 Dear Lord, be a fence.
01:55 [ Phone ringing ]
01:58 -Ella? -Hi. Oh, my God.
02:01 I just found this phone, and I'm, like, not sure who to call.
02:05 But, like, I recognize your name
02:07 'cause you're, like, a celebrity or something like that.
02:10 And I was just, like, wondering,
02:11 could you, like, help me, like, find the owner of this phone?
02:14 'Cause you're, like, booed up, right?
02:16 -Girl, good morning.
02:19 -Hey, girl. Girl, listen.
02:20 I'm doing this damn segment with "Elle" magazine.
02:23 Girl, they got me prank-calling people.
02:25 Oh, I'm, like, why is she --
02:26 I was literally, like, why is she calling me?
02:29 But that was terrible. I for sure knew that was you.
02:31 I knew you didn't lose your phone.
02:33 -Okay, you've got a good point
02:34 'cause you know I wouldn't lose my phone.
02:36 Plus, I always have several voices
02:37 when we're around each other.
02:39 But thank you for playing along for those .2 seconds.
02:41 -Hey, Ella.
02:43 -I'll call you later.
02:45 -All right, bye. -Bye.
02:47 She knew I wouldn't lose my phone.
02:49 All right, so, this next prompt --
02:51 "Quote your tummy hurts verse."
02:54 [ Laughs ]
02:56 I feel like I could do this to my mom
02:58 because the first line is about the Bible,
03:00 and she is a very, very high-faith woman.
03:04 [ Laughter ]
03:06 I'm really nervous. I'm shaking in my boots.
03:08 [ Cellphone ringing ]
03:11 -Hey, cool.
03:12 -Baby, go open a Bible
03:15 'cause God knows that sin is a cycle.
03:18 -Hello?
03:19 -Lie to my face. It's your hobby.
03:21 -Boy, you fine as hell for a psycho.
03:23 ♪♪
03:27 -Courtney, are you okay?
03:30 Courtney, say something.
03:31 -Mom! I'm not in danger.
03:34 -Oh, my God.
03:38 -What's wrong? You think that that's what I would do
03:39 if I was in danger?
03:41 -Like you were not talking to me,
03:43 but you needed me to hear.
03:44 -Mom, no, no. This is not an emergency.
03:46 I'm actually doing a prank call segment
03:49 with Elle magazine, and so I'm so sorry.
03:52 -Oh, my gosh, girl. Don't be doing that, man.
03:55 -I'm sorry, Mom.
03:56 Do you allow Elle magazine and its partners
03:58 to air this recording? I need a verbal consent yes.
04:01 -Are you kidding me? -No.
04:03 -I'm saying no. -Mom!
04:05 -I'm fine. -Mom, come on, now.
04:07 This is for work. -No.
04:09 -Mom, are you serious?
04:11 -I got to tell them what I just did.
04:13 -No, you just need to say the word "yes."
04:15 -Yes. -Love you.
04:18 -Bye. -Bye.
04:19 -Not my mom thinking I was literally in danger?
04:23 She was like, "Courtney, are you okay?"
04:25 Like, she was really planning my rescue mission.
04:27 That is so sad.
04:29 This next prompt, immediately start crying
04:31 and ask for forgiveness and just keep apologizing.
04:35 Okay. I'm going to call my girl
04:38 and my co-star on "Bel Air," Simone.
04:42 Come on, Simone. We're waiting for you, girl.
04:45 [ Ringing ]
04:48 -Hey, boo.
04:50 [ Sighs ]
04:53 -Oh, my God. Hello?
04:54 -Simone, I'm so sorry.
04:57 -Baby, what's going on?
04:59 -I'm just so sorry, Simone.
05:02 -What's going on?
05:04 -I shouldn't have done that to you.
05:06 I'm so sorry, Simone.
05:09 -Baby, what happened?
05:11 -So, basically, I told Jalen...
05:15 -This is a prank call.
05:17 -I'm gonna beat somebody up!
05:19 -[ Laughs ]
05:22 Girl, I'm over here with "Elle" magazine.
05:24 You are live, babes.
05:26 -Oh, my God!
05:29 First of all, the Oscars after the Grammys,
05:31 because I am so sick of you!
05:35 Oh, my God, my heart is freaking crying.
05:39 -I'm so sorry, darling. Thank you.
05:40 I'll call you later.
05:42 "Elle, Elle." Okay, that was a good one.
05:44 -So good. -Whoo!
05:47 This is work.
05:48 This one will be funny. Okay, okay, okay.
05:50 Ask someone to Venmo you $30 for lunch
05:53 because you lost your wallet last night.
05:55 I'm gonna call my little sister.
05:56 She's always asking me for money.
05:58 Enjoy this, girl. Get a taste of your own medicine.
06:01 [ Telephone ringing ]
06:04 -Your call has been forwarded to an automatic voice message.
06:07 -Emergency, pick up, please.
06:09 [ Telephone ringing ]
06:11 -Hello?
06:13 -Hey, girl.
06:15 I need a favor, like, really bad, please.
06:18 -What?
06:19 -Can you Venmo me $30 for lunch?
06:21 I literally lost my wallet.
06:23 -Yeah. Are you okay?
06:27 -Yes, girl. I'm so sorry.
06:29 Actually, can you Venmo me $100?
06:32 -Oh, my God.
06:34 Yeah, but damn, what's going on?
06:37 -I was at the freaking club last night, girl,
06:40 and I cannot find my wallet.
06:41 And now I have to pay for lunch.
06:43 Actually, it's lunch for everybody, girl.
06:44 And they're really ordering a lot.
06:47 And I said it was on me.
06:48 It might be around, like, $400, $500.
06:50 -Damn, damn.
06:53 -Yes, it's emergency, Aja.
06:55 -Courtney. -Hmm?
06:56 -You're clearly lying.
06:58 I was gonna keep going with it,
06:59 but I personally have a lot of stuff going on right now.
07:02 And the fact that you would ever do this to me,
07:04 it's so absolutely crazy.
07:06 It's the most unbelievable thing
07:07 that has ever been told to me ever.
07:09 And if you're calling me from your phone,
07:11 then you have Apple Pay.
07:12 I know that because you have sent me so many Apple Pays.
07:16 -Well, this is actually a segment on "Elle" magazine,
07:19 so you're live, babes.
07:20 [ Laughter ]
07:23 -Courtney, are you serious? -I'm so serious, girl.
07:25 You really ate me up there.
07:27 -Oh, my gosh. -Say hi to "Elle" magazine.
07:30 -Is this a joke? -No, girl.
07:32 You want me to put you on FaceTime?
07:34 -Girl, don't do that.
07:36 If you turn the camera, and there's actually, like,
07:38 a studio there -- -Girl, I'm fully on set.
07:40 -Courtney, keep speaking to me and tell me these lies,
07:43 and I'm gonna faint. -Okay, girl, I'm FaceTiming you,
07:45 because you must think I'm kidding.
07:46 Like, come on, now.
07:47 Pick up! Pick up the phone.
07:51 -Hi!
07:52 [ Laughter ]
07:55 -Courtney, don't do that.
07:57 [ Laughter ]
08:00 Oh, my gosh. At least I ate you up.
08:03 -You did! You raggedy trot!
08:05 You're forgiven for that eat-up, 'cause that makes good TV.
08:07 -Bye, girl. -Bye, girl.
08:10 [ Laughter ]
08:11 -That's hilarious.
08:13 This one is good.
08:14 Tell someone you're being canceled.
08:16 I'm gonna call my best friend, Jalen.
08:18 [ Ringing ]
08:21 -Courtney?
08:22 -Um, I'm freaking out a little bit.
08:25 -Why?
08:26 -Girl, I think I'm about to get canceled.
08:28 -Why? Girl, no.
08:30 -Yes, no, listen.
08:32 You know how I get when I'm turnt.
08:33 -Okay. -Basically, I went to the club.
08:36 [ Sighs ]
08:37 I literally black-- -Last night?
08:39 -Yes, girl, literally blacked out.
08:41 I don't remember even doing this.
08:42 So, basically, like, there's this video
08:45 of me going off on some man outside the club,
08:47 and I was blacked out. I don't even remember this.
08:49 -What? -Yes, girl.
08:51 I think I'm about to get canceled.
08:52 -Oh, my God. Did you watch it?
08:54 -I am not watching it.
08:55 My publicist is telling me don't even do it,
08:57 'cause she knows that I'll freak out.
08:58 She watched it, though, and they haven't even spoken to me.
09:00 They're, like, trying to figure it out.
09:02 -No. -They also told me
09:03 that I low-key, like, put my hands on him, like, fought.
09:06 I think I got into a fight. -What?
09:07 -Yes. -What? Who are you with?
09:09 -Francis. -Francis did not stop you?
09:12 -How is Francis gonna stop me? You know how I get.
09:14 You know how crazy I can be.
09:16 -Do you want me to watch it for you
09:17 and then tell you what you said?
09:18 -Yeah, girl, I can send it to you,
09:20 but just, if it's too bad, just, like, lie to me or something,
09:23 'cause I'm literally gonna, like, pass out.
09:25 -Oh, my gosh. Girl, trust me when I say
09:28 you're going to be okay.
09:31 I know it's a freakout, but people have done worse.
09:34 -No, girl. I'm serious, Jaylen.
09:36 You know I can't handle stuff like this, bro.
09:38 I'm about to have a freakout.
09:40 -Girl, you're joking with me right now.
09:41 You're not real. -Aah! Yeah, girl.
09:43 It's a prank. [ Laughs ]
09:44 I'm actually with "Elle" magazine.
09:46 You're live right now. -Oh, my gosh, bitch.
09:48 Girl, it's too early. -I know, friend.
09:50 I'm sorry, but thank you so much for the support.
09:52 Love you, and I hate to put you on the spot like that.
09:54 "Elle" magazine, that was a lot of fun
09:56 and very nerve-wracking.
