The videos are typically light-hearted and usually end with a playful surprise and a laugh. Parsons was after a similar reaction with his teammates and recorded him making phone calls to post on his TikTok.
Micah called Dallas Cowboys teammates Tyler Smith, Trevon Diggs, Osa Odighizuwa and KaVontae Turpin.
Smith has a compassionate response from his friend saying, "I appreciate it bro. It's good for my mental. This is what I needed ... You just made my night, bro."
Parsons agreed with a point about the value of reassurance.
Diggs was quick to call Parsons' bluff: "You on your TikTok (expletive)?"
Odighizuwa couldn't help but chuckle at Micah's take on the trend. "I've seen the videos," he said. Osa also hinted at a team dinner on Monday, the eve of mandatory minicamp at The Star.

"Man, you funny as (expletive)," Turpin added with a shared laugh.
The last call was to head coach Brian Schottenheimer, who seemed surprised from the call and was extra eager to check up on his star.
Parsons, famously up for a contract extension that has received very little traction in recent weeks, has made the effort to stay connected to the team and be the leader Schotty needs.
"You know, I feel like player to coach, just checking in on you. Wanted to say goodnight, whole fam as well. See you Monday, you know, excited about next week," Micah said to his first-year head coach.
Schottenheimer responded with a reassuring message that he's proud of how Parsons has been managing his situation.

"Look, I know this is weird for everybody man, but look you're handling everything the right way, bro," Schotty said. "This thing's going to get worked out, and again I'm thrilled to see where we take this thing, man. We're building something special and you're going to be a huge part of it, bro."
"Hell yeah!" Parsons cheered back.
There are a few things here that Cowboys fans are ecstatic to see.
* Micah is looking forward to attending mandatory minicamp and shake away any rumors of a holdout.
* Schotty's ringing endorsement of his All-Pro defensive cornerstone reiterates Parsons' value in the organization.

* And Micah hasn't lost his sense of humor or friendship touch with his teammates.
Cowboys fans will still be anxiously awaiting Parsons' long-term extension, but it's good to see that his spirits remain high.
