Murray Brothers Roadhouse Prank Calls

In a 2012 interview with The A.V.

Lynch said that Murray or his brothers will call Glazer and pretend to be someone else, and then they will say something like, "Kelly's having sex with Patrick Swayze right now. They're doing it. He's throwing her against the rocks."
