I used to listen a few years ago, this is how it often went:
Shouty “we’ve got big Liverpool fan Mike from Brighton on the line”
Bit of a pause and road noise because Rep Mike is showing us he is responsible in his Ford Mondeo hands free on his way to sell sweets to a Convenience Store.
“Hi, it’s Mike here, I’m a big Liverpool fan, btw Jim and Simon, great show, I’d just like to say I think we’ll win the league this year and Mo Salah is the best player in the world”
“Thanks Mike, great call, 2 points well made there, who can disagree with any of that?”
“Right, we’ve got a commercial break coming up featuring the hedgehog gutter brush but when we come back in 10 minutes time we’ll be discussing how those cheating Bluemoses from the wrong half of Manchester (sic) are overriding the FFP rules and winning trophies, it’s really not fair, blub, blub, blub”.
