Bye Bye Drivetime

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Well yesterday at 1730 we joined a select band of DJ's to be be fired mid-show.

We were asked to leave, can anyone guess the reason:

 

Trev and EFM'sL not allowed to answer

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Swearing? BAd influence to children? Not enough Springsteen in your playlist??

 

 

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Hey Thorns - why don't you just on today's website as a guest??

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Actually I doesn't matter now - The old surf control has kicked in - ACCESS DENIED!!!!!!

So no playtime on other forums for me!

I'll just have to stay here.

 

Back to the question though - It was none of your answers

Hi EFMTFTV.

 

Commiserations.

 

Were you due to get paid at 18.00?

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

It's OK - we weren't enjoying it, I think our hangover show is still safe though (well it better be)

 

We were paid in biscuits and they run out on Day 2.

Nothing to do with horse anaesthetic?

 

You looked at all those slidy switch things and assumed that one was for the up-line signal at Bletchley East sidings?

 

Go on. Give us a clue.

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

It was due to our content.

And the type of people we are.

 

I personally think it's a great reason, I wouldn't want to go for a better reason!

So I was right - that was basically what I was getting at.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

That wasn't actually the answer it was a clue ....

 

The actual reason was ...... too much comedy

 

How great is that. We were too funny for a serious show. Have they not realised that cheesy DJ's are yesterdays man, Mark & Lard, Colin & Tony are entertaining, are the future .... doh!

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Remember to e-mail studio@phoenixfm.com during 3 and 6 asking where we are.

[GHA EFM]

You were fired, live, for being too funny?

 

You're not serious.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I am being serious!

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Half way through your show??

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

About 35 mins to go.

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Couldn't they wait til you'd finished your show??

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

The station manager was on after us, so he sent somebody to get us out the way before he arrived.

I guess he didn't want a showdown

Why he didn't just releive us and then ring us later i don't know.

[GHA EFM]

Stab him

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I will <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

 

We are still on the site in the now/next bit, this is what it says:

COMING UP:

Drive Time

Drive home with the challenging and uncompromising sound of Colin Toms and Tony De La Fou

 

suggests they know we are not jusr average middle of the road type affair.

Have you thought that it's because they don't like French people, EFMTFTV?
