I have had enough of this TV work in Sydney. It is getting in the way of my Drug taking.
My last job each evening was doing audio for a talk show host who was a total misogynist. He would nightly have the autocue women in tears through his commercial break tirades. He had had a bad divorce, but I suspect he was prick before that.
So I plot my revenge on behalf of our female staff.
Last commercial break of the evening. He has a live cross to some sycophant on the other end. I lie and claim the foldback is broken, and he will have to use earphones. He complains, but does as instructed.
As we start the live interview, I dial a 1300…. number offering phone sex, and divert it down to his earphones during the live interview. It was like watching someone having small fits whilst trying to remain authoritative. Up there as a highlight of my life.
He was not happy.
