Heard an ad on 2SM spruiking that they had the only "independent new radio team in Sydney" then proceed to play a clip of the news reader getting a story wrong "Australia Navy has intercepted an Asylum Seeker boat travelling TO Sri Lanka".

They get the News wrong so much maybe they gcouldnt find a 5 sec grab that was right?

I don't think they have 5 seconds available to pick from. Remember, this is the station who once had a newsreader read... in the same stuffy nasally voice they all use... "picked her up by the crotch and [guess] like a bowling ball".

My top 5 of WTF callers on 2SM FWIW

1) Jim - 49 years old, rings into the John Laws show sparodically - recently rang in off his face about "them Indonesians, and I don't like them" about a news article that we were going to train 14,000 Singaporeans in Australia. John tried explaining Singapore and Indonesia are not the same, but he just didn't like them as he said. He said he was a patriot, no, you are an ignorant bigot.
2) Bas - this guy rings in in a phoney Lebanese accent (surely, it has to be phoney, its terrible) to Talkin Sport and proclaims his opinion as gospel.
3) Norman - he's ready to get his stab on
4) Sue - oh hoiiii gooouuuyyysss
5) The dude who rings in with the moto GP results that no one cares about

If Gerard Condon wasn't a paid for commentator on their show, I'd add him in too. Pencil neck geek of the highest order.

Does anyone remember the Talk Overnight promo where some pisswreck called in 12 schooners deep and was saying it should be renamed the "Gary the spinout show?"

Another masterstroke promotion... :lol:

Yeah, I remember that gem, I have had to laugh at some of their news readers over the years... some of the names and words that they are unable to announce are hillarious !

Havent listened to it much lately but I remember:

2) Bas always starts with "Now gentlemen......." then a long pause as if he's going to have a massive rant. Accents sounds legit, not sure of the background.
4) Something about the Dragons, then asks the same type of question "Why don't they use that guy from Under 20s?" "Why don't they run left?"

I remember years ago the regular callers used to be Craig "I say" and Darren the Souths fan.

Phil from Dubbo used to ring up occasionally, he still does I think.

Bas is legit. He is part of Save our Sons (google it) and in my opinion is a pretty good caller.

Sue ads comedic value, but she knows her stuff more than alot of males that call the show. (yeah sexist, sue me)

Bruiser - shoot me (boredom plus)

Adrian - hated him, liked him, hate him again. His glossary of sport is : Clarke , SBW, Hasler, Bennett, Pearce. All calls will contain at least one of those five. His current love affair is Bennett losing the 2015 GF zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Gavin Robertson - as annoying a radio sports personality as there is. Knows nothing about NRL.

Bass does great work for SOS but geez he is clueless about most topics.

As a Dragons fan Sue makes me cringe more than Mary's coaching.

Craig was the best "Daily Telegraph, 20th of May 2016, page 60, paragraph 4...Graeme did you read it"?

Gav Robbo "oh dear"
