Loosely related to 2SM, is the Nark that rings the Big Sports Breakfast the same bloke that rings up to blast John Laws from time to time?

The 'Nark' aka Norman is a professional caller, he has been for over 10 years, he is looked after by Laws and and a few different stations, its all an act and from what ive heard he is paid very well.

There are plenty of paid callers on different stations, some paid through sponsors items, some paid in cash.

Thats just what ive heard..

Yep, the nark was a paid caller to stan as well as were many back then, and most dont realise that every big station uses paid callers, especially if a shows new or down on ratings, heaps of times they have people in the next room calling.

I do really enjoy the nark, have done for years, i was pretty disappointed when i found out its all a set up and he is paid lol, but i still love his rants, no doubt lawsy loves him too lol.

I remember Bruce the Goose used to ring up Stan. Used to do a (poor) impersonation of Woody Woodpecker every time he called in. Used to think at the time that he might have been one of those sad old lonely merkins who just ring talkback shows because they've got f**k all else to do with their time. In hindsight he would have had to have been a paid caller.

The nark cracks me up. Bitter old prick he is.

Had a listen on Friday for the first time in a while. They lose me because all they do is say something that 90% of the wet blanket media would say and then all agree with each other as if they are giving each other wristies under the bench.

Their callers are f**king woeful too.

No I didn't. I didn't even realise that poor old Bruce kicked off.

There's some characters on talkback. Especially the funny merkins who give it to Graeme Gilbert deluxe on the show after Talkin' Sport.

Uhhhhh, is the answer India?

Ive heard that clip a number of times its hilarious. :lol:

Some old bloke rang up "Oh gee I think I know this one, I think its a MR .. INDIA!!!"

Then other randoms come on and pretend to complain about it, then say the answer INDIA.

I think at one stage in that quiz the answer was actually India !!! .

I love how he's the white knight to all the girls. Writes the blokes off as dickheads straight away, but as soon as a girl rings up and has him, he gets all righteous. f**king tosser, he deserves everything he gets.
