Any closet Adrian Kennedy Phone Show listeners?

Didn't Adrian get the crap kicked out of him one night doing an outside broadcast years ago? Or is that a just a myth?

That was his roving reporter at the time Niall Boylan that went on to present a show on 98fm after Chris Barry left the station.

Do you think Chris Barry will ever go back to radio or will he stick with the magic shows?

I listened to it a few months ago, was a classic, they were having a debate about girls wearing pyjamas around the place. Went something like this-

Adrian: So, you see nothing at all wrong with wearing your PJs in public, you think it's fine?
Girl: Bleedin rihh aye doo adreedun, shure only de toffee noazed paypul tink its bad, well fúck dem adreedun, djaknowwarramean adreedun?

Adrian: Not really, but anyway. What about the hygiene side of things? I mean wearing the same pair all week long, I take it you don't shower too regularly if you just wear your PJs all day.

Girl: No no no adreedun, i do have a showor after aye wake up so i doo, gwan i'm hardly duurty like. aye just purra new pair on aftur, nuttin wrong wirrih at all adreedun, djaknowwarra mean adreedun?

Adrian: Riiight...so you'd go down to Tesco and do your shopping, or walk around the main street in them and no problem at all?

Girl: aa course aye would adreedun!! shure ders nuttin wrong wirrih, jaysis yid swear i woz kamittin a cry-um or sumtin.

Adrian: Well, your choice I suppose. So, tell me this, would you go out to the pub or a nightclub in your PJs then?

Girl: waaaaaah? are youu blaydin serdius adreedun?! i have a birroh class fer ****sake! jayysis come on ourra dah, woh kinda knackurr goes clubbin in der PJs now adreedun, dyaknowwarra mean adreedun?

etc.

Ha. I think he's on a country station now or some East Coast radio type of station.

The other guy on 98fm produced a consistently interesting show, more well controlled and I dare say more articulate callers... before it got shít anyway.

They really need to give people 60 seconds to make their point, one at a time, then boot them off the air. I heard a show like that in the UK, it worked really well, the host took no shít at all, if the caller was interesting they were allowed to stay on and flesh out their point with some good questioning from the host, but if they were unable to get right to the point or had nothing more to say they were dropped and sometimes even slagged off by the host.

That was Niall Boylan but he mysteriously was booted from the station. Dunno why.

I like TalkSport in the UK. Most of the presenters kick people off if they don't have anything interesting to say.

Yeah, Niall Boylan, I got that from your earlier post, cheers, that would have bothered me.
I can't say I'm that surprised he disappeared, the show got very weird towards the end... doing completely fake troll segments just for reactions.

Yeah TalkSport that was the one... excellent hosts and a great format.
I haven't heard it in years, but I remember one of the hosts really ripping into a caller before, during and after cutting him off... brilliant.
Adrian Kennedy, as a host, seems spineless and aloof by comparison.

I dunno. I guess Adrian can only work with the listeners that ring in.

James Whale, Mike Dickin and Ian Collins is who I used to listen to. Was probably one of them.

James Whale now works on Londons LBC 97.3 ( he has the late afternoon show) which is basically a talk show radio station, well worth listening to some great hosts,you can get the station online or on sky digital, definitely a different type of phone in to Adrian Kennedys show, a lot more serious but always listen to LBC during the night.

When i first moved away from home(to Longford) the only radio station i could get on my radio was talksport and i used to listen to James Whale every night. That man did not care what he said or who he said it to.

Yeah I looked up the TalkSport there and none of them are on it any more. Mike Dickin died a few years ago in a car crash.

Yeah, he was great.

Is he on that now? I remember when he had the late night show on ITV Night time. Must be 92 or so. Sounds like he hasn't changed much.

No, he left in 2008.

Haven't listened to it in years because I've moved, used to love it, switch it on and fall asleep listening to a granny fighting with a taxi driver arguing with a scumbag who's fighting with a Blackrawk boy...

All the scumbags from the Northsider , seem to be the only people who ring in bitching about there lives

That, and all the Southsiders riding the high horse on it. Listen here mate, like, you don't know what you're talking about, you haven't "experienced" it. That line was rolled out night after night by posh lads.

And of course all the northsider comments that have been posted already.

And for God's sake, is Zoltan still ringing in? I was hoping he'd be dead by now, the only caller I was ever disappointed with..

Is Adrian still getting the odd death threat from the druglords and their families? :pac:

What about the weirdo that sleeps with her dog? Or kisses it? She does something weird with a dog either way!

Joan's still knocking about too I think.
