Dotun Adebayo on 5Live
Report Tommy Toes • February 7, 2014 1:20 AM GMT
Without doubt it's Dotun Bleedin' Adebayo!

I have managed to find the cure for the misery though - if you like to listen to chat on the radio in bed at night as you drop off to sleep, buy yourself a Roberts 3-band Sports radio and you will never again have to suffer the drone of Adebayo, as the Roberts is powerful enough to pick up TalkSport.

Since purchasing a Roberts just before last Christmas, I'm delighted to say I have not had to suffer Adebayo for one second since.
Yippee!

Steve Allen LBC radio 4am-6.30am Mon to Fri.This bloke loves the sound of his own voice so much he could eat himself.Bangs on every morning about how $hit Peter Andre is and how fat Gemma out of t.o.w.i.e is.His latest pet word is "spike".He never tires of telling the listener how at 4am the radio station "spikes"when  he takes to the airwaves.Refuses to take calls because he can't stand criticism and basically drones on and on about nothing in particular,interspersed by self congratulatory e mails and twitter comments from some old Doris on the balls pond rd.

It's a tough market.

Adebayo is indeed a cretin. Alan Green is by rote a whiner and a bully but doesn't present anymore, only 'commentatates' (for want of a better word) and can be good on rowing and golf when his ego subsides. Chris Evans is unbearable when pushing his godawful 'Carfest' but on 5 Live, Richard Bacon truly boils my p1ss.

I don't like Talksport either Tommy, I have started to listen to the World Service after Radio4 ends it really is good and covers all subjects.
Report Tommy Toes • February 7, 2014 3:52 PM GMT
There's some right Herberts on TalkSport, BB, but I'd rather listen to them than Adebayo.

I don't really want to listen to anything too interesting in the early hours of the morning. I just like having the radio on very low, with chat on, so it sends me to sleep.
When Rhod Sharp is on (especially when he's with Dr Karl) I sometimes find stuff so interesting that I turn the radio up just to listen - which isn't what I'm trying to achieve!
So, I reckon if I listened to the world service it'd produce the same thing.

I'll stick with the Herberts!

No matter how low I'd have Adebayo on (so I could barely hear the idiot) he'd still say things that would annoy me so much I'd end up ranting and cursing at him - which is not sleep inducing at all!

I've even slept on the sofa at times, specifically not to hear him: "Oh Christ, it's Saturday night. I just can't bear the thought of going to bed and listening to that idiot tonight"

The Two Mikes, aka Mike Parry and Mike Parry on Extra Time on TalkSport, late at night/early in the morning, sometimes has me laughing my head off - like this morning, when Parry was on about 'powdered alcohol' and people sprinkling it on their tuna sandwiches at lunchtime instead of going to the pub.

It was such a wonderfully rambling, bizarre description that I was chuckling in my bed and couldn't drop off to sleep!

I've just found that you can listen in to all the TalkSport shows again online if you click the 'menu' tab, then 'listen live' and then click 'listen again'.
