Brexit discussion puts radio talk show caller to sleep

Not the traditional goal of a radio show … putting the audience to sleep.

But that’s exactly what happened during a BBC Radio 5 live debate on Brexit.

(It’s beginning to make sense, right?)

Having waited 35 minutes to give his opinion, Joey from Bournemouth missed his big chance for national radio glory and instead … can be heard snoring.

On the surface potentially the death of radio, but the presenters save it in a delightful exchange ending with a line for the ages when Stephen Nolan turns to Dotun Adebyo and says: “We’ve put the man to sleep!”
