'When DeAndre Scarborough, a 24-year-old content creator and college research coordinator, decided to call several of his male friends, and his brother, to wish them each a good night, he knew that they’d be thrown for a loop.

Lying in bed with his girlfriend around 11 p.m., Mr. Scarborough made a call, delivering the good night message to a friend who immediately responded with confusion and laughter, asking, “You good?”
In between giggles, another friend, equally confused, said, “Man you’re calling the wrong number, these freak hours.”

Mr. Scarborough had seen the trend online and, after some nudging by his girlfriend, decided to upload his own video. He said what makes this trend “twice as funny” as others is that it’s so uncommon for men to talk to each other vulnerably.
