How do you pronounce "Koch"?

[BigFatGuy]

As in: Heckler &...

Is it like when you have something stuck in your throat?

Is it like the guy who tells the football team what to do?

Is it like the little guy who was Mayor of New York City for 16 years?

Is it like the guy in the kitchen who prepares your food?

Is it like the dirty word I'm not supposed to say in front of my mother?

Cook? or Cock?

[Noobert]

I've heard it pronounced "Coke", but I'm sticking with "cock"

[meangreen46]

It's actually "Coke".

From their website:
