“I’ve got a phone number for you to write down. Are you ready to record it?”

“Uh...no?”

I imagine a jet pack forces some interesting takes on related technology that pilots are used to having access to when in a cockpit.

For the non-pilots: if ATC gives you a phone number to call after you land, it means you really screwed up. (It's the number for the supervisor, who is thinking about filing a "pilot deviation report" with the FAA.)

The pilots I know describe these calls informally as,

"Mr. Braithwaite, would you step into my office? Bring your license, and a match."

This thread spurred me to listen to some clips, and I just happened across an 'I'll give you the number when you're ready to copy' example:
