Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, introduced a new feature in OS X 10.10 Yosemite that lets you pair your iPhone to your Mac desktop to make a phone call. To demonstrate the feature, Federighi called Dr. Dre on stage at the WWDC keynote on Monday.

Dre and Federighi then had a rather cheesy (and scripted) conversation about Dre’s new-employee orientation at Apple. But before the call started, we grabbed this screenshot of Dre’s profile and noticed that it did, in fact, list a phone number.

So, we called it.

First, we got a message that sounded muddled and we almost hung up, thinking it was just an automated system. But then, someone picked up.

“Apple operator,” we heard on the other line.

To which we responded, “I am trying to call Dr. Dre.”

“That’s not funny,” the woman said. After a brief lecture, she then hung up the phone.

We learned two things from this experience. First, at least one Apple operator can be reached at this number. But perhaps more importantly, she does not think we’re funny.
