In the mid-1970s, The Bum Bar Bastards (John Elmo and Jim Davidson) began calling the Tube Bar in Journal Square, Jersey City.

Red would yell out the names, not knowing that he was the butt of a joke. If Red did realize the call was a prank he would respond with hilarious cursing, threats and challenges to the prankster's honor. Famous "New Jerseyans" at the Tube bar included Al Kaseltzer, Al Kykyoras, Al Killeu, Cole Kutz, Connie Lingus, Frank Enstein, Hal Jalykakik, Izzy Cumming, Jim Nasium, Joe Dildo, Mike Ockhurts, Mike Untstinks, Pepe Roni, Phil Lacio, Sal Lami, Sid Down, Stan Dupp and Stan de Pain.
