Being a talkback radio host is in many ways a wonderfully interesting job, but it does come with one monumental hazard – prank callers. They can strike at any time, slipping innocuously between normal, opinionated members of the public to have a bit of pointless fun at the host’s expense. This afternoon 2SM Sydney, and the station’s host Brent Bultitude, fell victim to a series of bizarre prank calls within minutes of each other.
Tom: “Yeah, so I’ve been around here a bit. And I just think we just need a bit more male brothels.”
Bultitude: “Oh, not another one. What’s this, a joke this afternoon?”
Mercifully, the next three callers – Steve, Harry and Ken – all wanted to discuss manufacturing, with nary a hint of any talk about brothels.
2SM seemed to be in the clear. But then a different Steve got on the line… He had sensed what was coming. Male brothels were about to be back on the agenda.
