About This Podcast
Enter the gloriously unhinged world of Mike Kennedy — yes, that Mike Kennedy, the man behind the Retro Breakfast Quiz Show and the only human alive who can make a toaster warranty call sound like Shakespearean comedy. Step into a universe where logic takes a holiday, customer service reps question their life choices, and you… well, you’ll be laughing so hard you’ll forget where you put your tea (until you accidentally sit on it).
For nearly a decade, Mike has been dialing up chaos with a level of commitment usually reserved for Olympic athletes and people who argue with parking meters. His legendary telephone wind-ups have left a trail of bewildered call‑centre workers, confused managers, and at least one person who genuinely believed they were speaking to a man trying to return a live goat to a supermarket.
This podcast isn’t just unique — it’s a full‑blown comedic expedition. You’ll encounter bizarre scenarios, outrageous characters, and moments so unbelievable you’ll wonder if reality has taken a day off. It’s the kind of show that makes you laugh, cringe, wheeze, and occasionally question humanity, all in the best possible way.
If you’re ready for a rollercoaster of ridiculousness, buckle up. Mike Kennedy is waiting, phone in hand, chaos in mind, and absolutely no intention of behaving sensibly.
