To many fake phoney phone calls on THSS. Its amazing that they are not better when they use actors.

Artie called in sick to the show and they used his voice and make the first phone call to a deli. A couple of weeks later Artie was sick again and left a voice mail. Richard/Sal used the new voice mail and called the deli again

Did you catch why this is 100% fake?

*spoiler*
The fist phoney call was made before Artie left his new voice message. It phoney call was played on radio. This means that the Deli had provided written consent. Just a couple of weeks later they call the same person who already given them consent. The "deli" knows who calls. If it was real, the deli would not fall for the same joke again that they already given consent to.

Many times they have made similar mistakes. Doing stuff that is impossible to do for real. Like speeding up Richards voice 300% in real time.
