Radio hoax in the US: Do you recognise this Irishman?

    Does anybody recognise this accent? (go to 1.08.33). The name of the guy is apparently Barry and his partner, who was behind the phone prank, is named Geraldine.

    Olan McGowan on Mooney this afternoon played it and it's taken from a radio show in the US when the radio host put on an Indian accent, pretended to be a government official, and interrogated the Irish guy about his relationship status. He has a north Leinster/south Ulster accent.

    It was very, well, interesting (ahem). I wouldn't say he gets many invites to racial equality meetings!

    Yeah that's ancient!

    I don't think racist Barry will be in a rush to out himself publicly either :)

    Have you tried the real alternative?

    http://www.free-codecs.com/real_alternative_download.htm

    does the job but unfortunately, the version I have installed doesn't appear to let you skip ahead. :confused:

    Much better than that other steaming pile of excrement though!
