Once again, SEN are driving me to violent crime with their "September to remember" jingle. Surely a production meeting would conclude they slaughtered it last year. Get rid of the Sports Updates, too, while you're at it. Waste of bloody air-time.
Speaking of disunmembering... this morning KB had listeners call in with the favourite finals memories.
"My stand-out Grand Final memory was Hawthorn winning in 1989 - especially Gary Ablett kicking 8 goals."
He kicked 9.
What is it with footy folk and faulty memories? Or, most probably, other people's memories. A while back, a bloke rang up KB to rave about Adem Yze's first game: "He had a blinder. Got about 30 touches." In fact, he had 5 kicks and 1 handball. Bet he never saw the game. If I had a Hutton's Ham Hamper for every time a talk-back caller was wrong, I'd be a very fat man.
The sooner talk-back radio bans talk-back the better. There must be other ways to make the on-air people seem clever.
As a serial SEN talkback caller I'd like to say that the banning of letting lunatics on air would force people to concentrate on something else - like their world class and spectacular ads.
"Then you changed your name to Magnus Awesome"?
Genius.

I'm thinking of changing my name back to Rodeo.

Naturally, I was excluding callers who ring up about Wimbledon AFC.

Noticed on this morning's Crunch Time SEN have instigated what they call The Holden Colorado Tough Challenge.
What. A. Fiasco.
Pickers, Hutchy and Schwarta pick out of a hat (despite Schwarta being on the phone and not actually in the studio) three supposedly tough sportspersons to talk up for one minute. Schwarta "got" Ray Price from Parramatta, Pickers "got" Lionel Rose and Hutchy "got" Suzie Moroney. (Like long distance swimming is anything other than a complete joke.) I say "got" because in turn they then yelled out a one minute spiel on each toughy, trying to make a case for their respective toughness, despite not actually knowing anything about them apart from what they were reading (or had memorised in the previous five minutes).
As a radio piece it was complete garbage. As an ad for Colorado... well, I'm not about to dash down the shop to buy one.
Which is a pity, really, because Crunch Time usually goes alright.

Pity somebody didn't draw out Serge. You know, as in Power Surge.

Not Serge?

Don't argue.
Don't argue. Hutton's footy franks are best.
When Tammy Van Wisse swam the Murray River, at the very end some joker pounced and started pouring champagne on her.
She was still crawling out, on hands and knees, probably exhausted. I think she thought she better make an effort for the cameras.
Anyway: hands and knees, mouth wide open, tongue out, trying not to get it in her eyes, trying to look like she was enjoying it. It dead set looked like a money shot in a pr0no. It was a rather inglorious – yet hilarious – end.

Any footage of that? Would be worth a million bucks.

Don't try to appear as if you have a balanced view of this fine segment ... Ford Territory owners wouldn't buy a Holden anyway!

Tell me about it! I've really gotta make a habit of recording EVERYTHING I watch on the good old DVD.
No. Had a quick scan of youtube. She has a website and it wasn't on there. Maybe I should ask her.
Y'know. To show my... um... kids. Yeah, kids. They are full-on into swimming. I want to show them the bit where the bloke pours champagne all over your face and down your not-quite-so-willing gob while you're dripping wet and on your hands and knees. Reckon she would smell a rat?!!!
Not 'arf.
