Get it the Bert Show

time to get buzzed on the hot goss from Hollywood with Abbey

it's the Bert Show's entertainment bus.

I am horrified because my favorite Christmas film

of all time apparently turned a bunch of kids into degenerates.

All these years I thought the Santa Claus was a fun family film.

Little did I know they had to delete one of the scenes because it prompted kids to call a sex hotline.

So when the movie hit theaters in 1994, there was a scene where Tim Allen's ex-wife,

her character, is dropping off their son to him.

And she gives him a slip of paper that has the number of her new boyfriend's mom's house

on it in case he needs to reach her in case of an emergency. So apparently this was a real sex

hotline that kids started calling after it was in the film and they had to

delete it from the movie because so many kids ended up calling it.

So they saw all these kids start calling up 1-800 spank me.

Yes. And it was a real sex hotline. It wasn't it wasn't just something they made up

like a 555 number. It would literally lead people.

What would happen if we call it up right now?

You think it's still active?

Let's try.

Hey Katie, you call it 1-100 spank me?

And just tell the engineers is for the show.

Okay, stand by.
