Its been bothering me for a while but does anyone else agree with this statement?
Warren is a total hack and is ecruciatingly painful to listen to on the MMM Breakfast show!
He isnt funny at all, his stories suck, his fake laugh even sucks and he comes across awkward. I hate him and often flick my little button on steering wheel over to JJJ when he starts talkin.
Am i alone here? Tell me in not alone!

Stopped listening to MMM on the day Tredrea started. 2 minutes of him and the Carle woman comparing notes on their respective newborns was 2 minutes too much. Had nothing to do with football. Port or not I was willing to give him a go.
Having said that I recently switched back during non breakfast hours because I just couldn't stand any more bloody Adele. Most of the blokes I work with listen to MIX. I leave my radio in my locker these days unless I don't have to work with or near a MIX fan. Still have to suffer Adele on a daily basis though.

I see his acting skills in a classy advert with him on the hammock. Classy advert that!!!!!!

Tredders best work is not done on the airwaves, thats for sure. Very, very average but in saying that MMM is shite all day. The "Unflogged 400" was the 400 songs they play the most IMO.
Thanks to those willing to post a pic of Chapman on Tredrea's shoulders, no need to.

Probably.
But then so is everybody else who fills a slot on any commercial breakfast radio show, anywhere in the world.
I gave up on morning radio years ago, when I had matured enough to no longer be amused by the endless masturbatory back-slapping and the sheer banality of the content.

Remind you of mid-80's Grand Final celebrations?

Yes! So true, I think its a bit unfair to single out on Tredrea given that all breakfast radio, including the "celebrities" themselves, is absolute rubbish.

Yes, it does and this is another instance where he is wrong. Jay and the Doc were great.

Been on Tom and Alex lately, but fnd there a bit hit and miss.
I do prefer local radio in the mornings as i like to know whats happening with weather, traffic etc
But Tredrea stands out above all the Breakfast hacks!! Get better presentation from the bloke who does the Prison request show on Three D radio

Commercial FM breakfast radio (in SA at least) seems to run to a simple formula from what I can tell.
Take a minimum of 1 washed up ex footballer. Can have more than one. Any other washed of sportsman will do instead of a footballer if need be.
Add a so called comedian. Anyone who is actually funny need not apply.
Mix in ONE AND ONE ONLY female. You can choose a few variations here but she must have at least one of the following issues:
1. Weight problems (real or imaginary)
2. Relationship problems (IE couldn't get a root for love nor money. Issue 1 may not necessarily be the reason.)
3. Rampant man bashing feminist (combine this with either or preferably both of the above and you're on a ratings goldmine)
4. Not essential but being blond plus some (or all) of the above issues will help
Throw in characters that ring up on a regular basis IF someone thinks they can do stupid voices. IE:
Damien the Goal Umpire
Truckie from Tarcoola
Mrs Carruthers
Just to give an example or three.
Throw in someone to push the buttons and twiddle the dials (and perform stupid "ditties") and we're all set
