1. The promo/production guy at Live 105.3 (I
believe his name is Dave Stone). He is the
worst f**ing production guy I have ever heard,
(and I've been doing this radio biz stuff for
20 years). I cringe everytime I hear his voice on
the latest station or adult nightclub promo/spot. He
thinks he's being so cool and hip by lowering and phasing
his voice, where you get that errrrr and waaaaah sound
after every word or sentence. Jesus man, stop talking
like Mr. Puker radio guy!, and talk to me and the audience
like a real person.
2. Christopher Hackett - I know he can't help it he's English,
BUT, he's got that haughty tone in his voice that just reeks
of "I'm better than you, and anyone else".
3. Pugs and Kelly and that bimbo airhead Sybil (although I
usually end up listening to them anyway just to hear
what stupid sh*t they are talking about today). Today's
compelling topic was how Kelly could have sex with her
boyfriend while she was on her period. Both P & K both
have voices that sound like they are living inside sandpaper
and a cigarette. And Sybil (when she's on) just simply
sounds like she has rocks in her head, and all she can do
is that godawful giggly laugh.
* Honorable mention goes to Justin Frizzell and Humble Billy Hayes.
Justin just sounds like a goofball doing traffic (I can't
understand a damn thing he's saying with that chaw in his mouth),
and Humble just thinks he's a deep voiced talk radio host
turned cool and hip rocker, and it ain't workin' brother. You
ain't no Kevin McCarthy.
I could probably think of some more voices that make me grit my teeth,
but those are the ones who come right to mind.
