Does Mike Parry pretend to know fuck all about anything or is it part of his act? Whether its music, film, politics etc it's astonishing how much basic general knowledge he gets wrong. I can't tell if it's an act.

Love Andy Jacobs. Genuinely funny guy. It's not forced and he doesn't come across like he thinks he's funny.

The worst for me is them 2 on Sunday morning. Barry Glendenning is awful. He's a million times less funny than he thinks he is. I can't stand his giggly, giddy humour. Their little features they do are f***ing abysmal...

Then at the bottom of the pile is Jim White. Can't even describe how shit he is. Zero personality. He's an utter plank!

Why do you listen to radio shows you don't even like?

Agreed on that Sunday mid morning rubbish. The boxing is excellent on talksport to be fair....Adam catterall and Gareth Davies are very knowledgeable and have some good contacts.
 
Went down the shitter when it was made all about sport, the split of of both was better in my opinion, H and J are the last link of when it used to be good, haven’t listened since it changed

He was brilliant, they had James Whale on at the same time.

I remember when they randomly had a Saturday night show with Gerald Harper on a Saturday called Champagne and Roses, utterly surreal radio. He got replaced by George Galloway

I forgot about him, was early 2000s I first started listening to the station with Parry and Brazil for breakfast, Mike Dicken, Whale, Ian Collins, Mike Rutherford to name a few. I'm turning into my grandparents never mind parents just leave it on all night. Loved the Two Mikes night time show and those quizzes (all on you tube)
 
Another thread on TalkSport where the almost universal conclusion is that Jim White is terrible.

I can only imagine that he has a long, large contract that they can't get out of as I barely hear anyone say they like listening to him. The fact that they've changed the show twice in the last two seasons to add new regular presenters (first Natalie Sawyer and now Simon Jordan) shows that the TalkSport bosses know White is poor.
 
I like the early morning show if it's Brazil, he's great. Even better if Super Ally is on with him.

I like listening to the Jim White show but only for Simon Jordan really, who talks complete sense.

H&J are great and my favourite though.

Don't know how anyone listens to Adrian Durham and Darren Gough... aids.
 
Love Jim White. Always gets to the bottom of any story despite his haters. Probably THE most connected man in football.

Its not that he's terrible, he is just painfully unbearable.

Cant think of a bigger tosser ever in sports broadcasting.

Him and Paul Hawksbee used to be scriptwriters on Fantasy Football League was brilliant. He even made a small cameo appearance on one episode.

Can't say I can remember seeing him in a episode. Can you remember what the sketch was?
