GG really overrates the importance of his program.

Also lol @ "we have your address, the authorities are on the way"

Lol "we know you're all sitting in a room, and you will be receiving a visit very soon. For anyone else who thinks this is funny, let me remind you it's an offence under the Communications Act". He obviously lacks creativity - if he had that he would have canned the routine quiz and went to something else. He's ordinary, but what about old mate Brent Bolvitude. I've never heard him disagree with a caller. Extremist conspiracists ring his show all the time and he just goes "yes, weeeeeellll, I can certainly see why you'd think that. I can't disagree. Good to talk to you". All he does is agree and read various news headlines off Reuters.

I listened between 4pm and 5pm. Sue rang in, and for once didn't sound like an absolute bo-gone. She spoke clearly. The shock of it all.

I am in Brisbane and know SFA about any of the people you are referring to but that was funny hahaha.

What is the background?

I remember a while back Gilbert had an "interview" with a 104 year old woman who was as senile as all f**k. Embarrassing radio, but some genius (probably him,) decided it would be great to use it as a promo for the best part of the month.

"Oh sorry dear, who are you?"

"Oh I'm a bloke Mrs. Ball, so you'd like me."

Apparently ran for a Liberal safe seat in Tassie and got butchered by the ALP :lol:

One of their ads this afternoon, I think it was Gary whats his face who I think comes on after the legendary king of night time radio Graeme "Mr 0.1%" Gilbert, honestly the host was accusing the caller of accidentally clicking on something on the internet - it was like he was giving tech advice. The way they cut their promo ads together is a joke. The only one they ever spend time on is Lawsy's. Only because Norman takes him balls deep sparodically.

What to do - could switch to 2GB and listen to right wing conservatives doing Singo proud?

I don't listen much at night, but I'd describe Graeme Gilbert as the ultimate plodder's man. He once ran for a Liberal safe seat and got belted. His career highlight is being pranked by about 60 calls in one night "INDIAAA!", and achieving the lowest recorded radio rating in Sydney history (conveniently, 2SM then decided not to continue to be a part of the ratings process).

Graeme Gilbert is a combination of Ben Czislowski, Kane Cleal, Brady Malam, and Shane Perry. You know what you're going to get week in week out, so thats a positive. The downside is its going to consist of being belted backwards, playing 19th fiddle to others, and genuinely being shocked, humbled, and delighted that the gravy train for some god unknown reason or another continues on unabated.

As much as John Laws is an old senile coot, his "sub" Leon Delaney is opinion-less and weak as water. Good talk back radio involves a bit of arguing and thrasing out a topic. There's safe announcers like Gilbert, Delaney, Bultitude, they just don't have the nads to take anyone on.

In the Lawsy ad, can anyone explain the whispering women's voice of "laaaaaaaawsy" then a giggle.its so bad it's funny.

I may have mentioned before on this forum that I'd like to see that Adrian bloke given a go at talk back but he would need to be teamed up with someone with a bit of experience. He is so obnoxious and disliked by so many people that initially lots of people would ring in to argue and abuse him. He may be a shooting star but he has some of the qualities, a bit like Stan Zemanek. He couldn't do any worse than the crew over at 'The Power Station' or those knobs on 2UE George Moore and that non-entity Paul what's his name.

Gilbert is radio's equivalent of a train wreck. He must produce his own shows and wants to take Australia back to his halcyon days in the 1960's. He hates anyone under the age of 50.

Very definition of a plodder.

George and Paul are the only good things on 2UE.

I like Adrian for the fact he treats Tunks like Tunks treats the other callers - if he disagrees he just talks over them and drown them out.

It was good radio. as much as I like Adrian giving it to them he left himself wide open bringing up his job as a journalist if his best stories were ET joining Parramatta, Brett Kenny to the tigers as well as a weekly column with Gary Petherbridge. :crazy:

I hope you are joking. They are pathetic right wing nutters. George is a pathetic has been and I was hoping the bowel cancer would have finished Kidd off.
John Stanley the only good thing on 2UE.
