Cal Thomas line was perfect. Matt Copper ignored Cal Thomas at one stage when the line was perfect and passed onto the other contributioner whose line was dropping continuously. Just because the other contributer agreed with him. It was disgraceful radio and Cooper deserves a wrap in the knuckles for it. I would be surprised if there wasn't complaints lodged to the BAI. And I don't believe his excuse for a minute naout technical difficulties. He had no problem hearing Marion who dropped off but couldn't hear Cal whose line was perfect. That's like something you'd hear from Trump Matt.

I can't remember if Hugh Linehan was a stand-in back in the Dunphy days. Karl Deeter got a bit carried away with himself on Friday's episode when he said he'd give Elle McPherson one :eek: Naturally, he shouldn't have said such a thing live on radio but I'd have paid money to see the reaction behind the scenes. He apologised after the break but I wonder how long will it be before they ask him back?

I doubt he'll be on the Friday spot again but he might still pop up in the property chats. I listened back and it is still there on the GoLoud app - interesting to hear, Helen was doing a good bit of talking about the topic before Karl got in, so it didn't sound like it just popped into his head. An odd thing to say for him...unless he didn't want to be called on again for the slot.

But its ok for females to say it about males :rolleyes:
