    just googled him my self, its a dublin thing

    :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,986 ✭✭✭✭mikemac


    Ah yes, convicted drunk driverwho then lectures his listeners about the dangers of drink driving. :rolleyes:

    Haven't listened to it in a long time, it's just skangers shouting at each other


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10,817 ✭✭✭✭Dord


    I think only taxi drivers are allowed ring him? :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,754 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    I've always felt a few of them were paid actors. Especially when some of them had very very similar voices and different names.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.



  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,006 ✭✭✭PurpleBerry


    Yes I rang him once at 4 am. He wasn't too pleased!

    I listen to it for the laugh sometimes. Though it leaves me kind of depressed knowing that a high percentage of people in my city are complete idiots. Who can't speak English properly.
    "Jaysus, Adrian, it's a feckin' disgrace!", etc, etc.
    :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,811 ✭✭✭✭Slidey


    I rang him once and asked was I through to Chris Barry... Hilarity ensued


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,378 ✭✭✭✭jimmycrackcorm


    some day i'll start cursing enough to ring his show.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 32,865 ✭✭✭✭MagicMarker


    I rang once when I was about 14. I actually can't remember why or what was said, I only spoke to him briefly though.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,813 ✭✭✭themadchef


    Does he deliver?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 995 ✭✭✭Ass


    I'm convinced that people ring up to take the piss. There was one show a couple of years ago about people throwing rocks off bridges at moving cars on the motorway. A couple of young un's rang in claiming to be people who part-take in this activity. Their only justifcation was "ye dont be tinkin of wots gunna happen wen ye trow dem". It got a lot of people very angry. It was hilarious. It takes talent to get people as angry as they did. I'm thinking they were internet trolls escaped from the internet who were before their time.


    It was so hilarious that I taped it. I must try and upload that to youtube one day. Just have to find a way to transfer from audio tape to PC.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 335 ✭✭likely_lass


    ive thrown my radio accross the room on a few occasions because of "zultan" ringing in and talking sh*t, theirs a few regulars who are really annoying-another awl-one with a really high-pitched voice anyone know her name?

    rang in once when i was like 17 and locked, basically just took the piss, got a good few texts the next day, apparently i was very funny slagging the two of them

    Good analogy, that show realy is the equivalent of trolling.

    Over in the radio forum some poster was doing a media course in Ballyfermot college. They ask people to take on a role guranteed to get a reaction.
    Like "Jacinta" in the city centre living with her fella and claiming thousands in benefits and never working and laughing at suckers working

    It immediately winds up people and gets a reaction. But it's all put on

    Youtube commenters=Adrian Kennedy regulars.

    I think the woman you're talking about is called Joan? She's very irritating and that Jude guy. :mad: Then again I think they are actors.

    lol Joan - what a tramp. I remember listening to her. What a headcase.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    Haha I love your man Zultan, Jude too.

    It's been really crap lately though, like with that stupid ass psychic bollox taking up an hour of the show.

    I rarely listen (if i'm in a car with it on, taxi, late bus) I Love how he reacts when people call him chris


    "eh... sorry, i've been doing this show for (insert years), get it right!"

    Clever guy, put on a cheep show where people can bitch. listeners arekinda like Joe Duffy's, but with even less intelligence.

    "i'm not a racists but...."


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,111 ✭✭✭peanuthead


    I remember watching it on the City Channel one night and this junkie rang in basically saying that he took heroin on a regular basis "To reach me potential of me buzz"

    Classic really.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 335 ✭✭likely_lass


    Joan is an arsehole im convinced if i met her id recognise her and i think id probably give her a slap choice adrian kennedy quote "get off the line ya fool"

    i used to work on the 98fm late night talk show as work experience and the host hated joan as she would ring in for everything so there was a rule of only letting her on once a week or something like that

    apparently she got pissed of with the host over something and started listening to fm104 for a while and the producers in 98fm found out and banned her from ever being on again......its a cut throat world late night talk shows i tell ya


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,971 ✭✭✭Holsten


    Well she is an absolute thick.

    Another guy is your man "John" who changes his name alot, I actually think he is an actor cause he rings in on EVERY topic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,639 ✭✭✭PeakOutput


    ye why people think other people actually give a **** what they think is beyond me

    still not as bad as joe duffy but not far off


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,692 ✭✭✭✭OPENROAD


    Do people still call him Chris i.e. Chris Barry

    I thought you had to be a scumbag to ring that show; scum radio1

    Anyway, I did ring once. The clowns were lecturing people because
    they weren't watching the Paralympics. Kennedy was trying
    to make out that people who chose not to watch it or that didn't get much from it; that
    they were ignorant and prejudiced. What a NOB!

    aido is the bee's


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 446 ✭✭phenomenon


    Adrian Kennedy is the guy who always gives away key-torches on his show, right?

    What do scangers do with those things anyway? Can they be used as some sort of drug apparatus? And Zultan annoys the arse off me. He has this snobbish, pedantic air about him


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,045 ✭✭✭Húrin


    I used to listen to him when I was a teenager back in 2001 or thereabouts. On the night before Halloween I was in my friends' flat and she turned the radio on and there he was, still alive and broadcasting from the FM104 "haunted castle of terror" (Charleville Castle, Co. Offaly)- I couldn't believe he was still broadcasting!
    Who da **** is Adrian Kennedy?!

    Its a Dub thing you wouldn't understand ya bleedin cluchie.

    we used to ring from boarding school every so often a few years ago. got on air a good few times as well, best one I can remember was about badminton - whether it was a sport for girls. hilarious :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers
