Does anyone listen to Virgin radio in the mornings? Whats with Brian / Briony?

I occasionally listen to the radio in the mornings, and this morning hear about Virgin Radio's latest 'crazy idea' in that Christian O'Connell's producer/side kick Brian made an off the cuff comment last week that being a woman is easy, so this week they are making him walk around in womens clothing and the like so he can get a feel for what its like to be a women.





Of course Christian O'Connell goes into great depth about the oversize shoes he's wearing and the leopard skin pants etc and how hilarious it is. They even staged a running race in high heels against a woman to see how he'd go. Of course he lost the race and it was apparently hilarious and they all guffawed with laughter.





Only one problem.





Its a frig gen radio show!! what part of non-visual medium do they not understand.





Having some bloke who I've never met nor likely to dress up as a woman doesnt actually mean anything to me. I don't even have a visual image of him in his usual attire to compare to what he might look like dressed as a woman. So how can I find that funny?





Honestly .............. (my rant for today) .....

Well Dave it will come as no surprise to you that once again I disagree.


You see Dave It works like this, they paint the picture/describe the scene etc and you use what most of us would refer to as Imagination to fill the gaps thereby being able to visualise the scene.


we all know you have a very active imagination Dave, that is proven by your McCann posts.


Take good care my Ozzie mate.
Reply:It doesnt sound that funny lol.


To dress up for a day in high heels isnt really giving the man an insight into being a woman. He needs to do it for a couple of weeks, working as a woman, kids, house etc etc and then see if its easy.


I must admit Im so organised that I do find all my jobs easy but thats me (i'll wait for the oooo hark at her comments rofl)





which reminds me, playtime over , off to change the beds. cyas xxx

Reply:You're right, on the face of it, it doesn't make great radio.





But for a lot of people, it will work because unlike you, they are not 'occasional' listeners.





I find that if I listen to a particular DJ or show on the radio, as a one off, they are not always entertaining.





However, once you listen regularly, you start to know the people and the personalities involved and therefore have a bit more of a vested interest in what they are doing.





I remember thinking Johnny Vaughan doesn't have a radio voice. A courtesy car for a couple of days once where I couldn't change the station and I got converted and I now think he's the second funniest man on the radio!





Radio stations aren't just about playing music, the DJ's are an integral part and if you feel a connection to them, you'll listen.





I used to listen to BamBam on Kiss and enjoyed his show and the music. Since he left, I don't think I have ever listened to Kiss again!





I used to listen to Christian O'Connell regularly and found him really funny. Now I only flick onto him sometimes and don't find it as funny.





So, in answer to your question, listen regularly to Christian O'Connell, and you'll start to find his show funny. Listen only occasionally, and you won't get all the in-jokes.
