I knew I knew that voice. Tuning it to a classic rock station here, I heard that annoying voice and stupid laugh. Yep, it was Jeff Brown, the DJ from CHEZ 106 in Ottawa. Couldn't stand him there, can't here. Couldn't we have left him back east?
He tells stories he thinks are hilarious. They're not. Unknowingly insults his wife at every turn. Laughs at all his own stupid remarks. Has a voice that breaks when he laughs too hard. And has a distracting and off-putting way of pronouncing "ing". Instead of saying "having", for example, he says "haveen" or "comeen" or "talkeen". It's all very strange and irritating -- especially for a radio announcer who is supposed to have, if not perfect command, then at least some sort of facility with the language.
To boot, he's a Leafs fan. I mean, come on.
Have to find another station.
