I wanted to know if you knew about this, Rob.
AJ said, Rocco from Rocco's Modern Life was a phone sex operator.
As a kid, I always found it funny he would say in a very monotone voice, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, while seated in a cubicle for work.
Do you have memories of this?
I mean, we gotta Google this now.
This seems kind of outrageous.
So people also ask on Google, is Rocco a sex phone operator?
in his brief stint as a telephone operator um in the season one episode canned where an instruction sheet notes employees to be hot be naughty and be courteous and he flatly repeats oh baby into the receiver so yeah it seems like quite a wild thing to put in yeah like it's not subtle oh baby oh baby oh baby
And Rocco has a book on his desk called Specialty Phone Operator.
Yeah, it's quite naughty, isn't it?
Yeah, Rocco wasn't like, fuck me now.
Like, being me over on all fours and fuck me.
You know, it wasn't like that.
Kapil said, love the trip down memory lane.
That one Are You Afraid in the Dark episode with the pool, which we talked about, seems universally the scariest one.
It's the only one I remember, in fact.
And every time that show comes up with friends, it's the episode they all mention as well.
I love the idea of one episode of a TV show just traumatizing a generation of kids.
