He would utter threats such as, "I'm gonna break dem bones on you and your feet, so you'll never be able to walk right again!" as well as "I'll cut your belly open and show you all the black stuff you got in there!" Sometimes Red would offer the two pranksters a reward of $100 or $500 if they would show up at his bar in person, but they never took him up on the offer. Most of the time, Deutsch would call out the names, unaware that he was being subjected to a prank.Īt times, Deutsch would catch on, and when he did, he would respond with extreme hostility, shouting profanity, obscene sexual references (usually involving the caller's mother), and threats of physical harm at the caller. During a call, the pranksters would ask Deutsch to call out fictitious, pun-like/homophones names such as "Pepe Roni" ( pepperoni), "Hal Ja-Like-a-Kick" ( how'd you like a kick), "Phil My-Pockets" ( fill my pockets), "Al Coholic" ( alcoholic) or "Mike Hunt" ( my cunt). The bar was owned by heavyweight boxer Louis "Red" Deutsch, and most of the time Deutsch himself answered the calls.

You would think, but the opening days of GB News have been plagued by amateurishness: bad lighting, terrible sound, stupid words and a total inability to spot off-colour puns.ĭo they have any plans to tackle the problem?

No, there wasn’t.ĭidn’t they do this on The Simpsons? Yes – Bart made regular calls to Moe’s bar asking to speak to, among others, IP Freely, Amanda Huggenkiss, Anita Bath and Heywood U Kuddlemee.

But its opinion shows are at least popular with a certain kind of caller. Where can I avoid this channel? Advertisers are asking the same question. “In fact, Hector has been banished from the studio.” What does it have instead? “Passionate presenters with character, flair, attitudes, opinion and, yes, a sense of humour,” said Neil on opening night.ĭo you have any examples of that humour? “Nobody will be allowed to hector,” he said a few seconds later.
