Marty Sheargold delivers on promise that he’s no Eddie McGuire on breakfast radio

Marty Sheargold certainly didn’t hold back during his first week in breakfast radio covering turds, tennis and orgy experiences.

Marty Sheargold didn’t hold back in his first week of breakfast radio.

The Marty Sheargold Show has clocked up its first week and what have we learnt?

Sheargold loves the word turd, he is keen on cricket, the Prime Minister is an idiot, he is not a fan of tennis players and breakfast is as good a time as any to take callers reminiscing about their orgy experiences.

Sheargold promised he was not going to be Eddie McGuire when he took over the Triple M breakfast shift that McGuire held for 11 years with his Hot Breakfast show and a week in he has proven to be a man of his word.

His show is light, funny, a bit cheeky with the occasional double entendre and plenty of segments that will get people calling in.

There is also a definite love of music that runs through it and Troy Ellis is already an excellent foil for Sheargold.

Sheargold is on to a winner straight out of the blocks with his Dunce Academy segment, the first graduate being Bernard Tomic’s shallow-as-a-teaspoon girlfriend, Vanessa Sierra.

As an aside, the show is planning to launch its own Only Fans account which is … bold.

According to Sheargold, Sierra was “sounding like an absolute turd” as she whined on her YouTube channel about having to wash her hair while in hotel quarantine for the Australian Open.

“I would rather die than be in that hotel room, honestly I would rather be dead,” he observed.

Fellow tennis whinger Novak Djokovic got a similar rating from Sheargold.

“I am a bit over (Djokovic). I liked him ten years ago, now I think he is just like all the other tennis people, (a) turd,” he said.

“I can’t believe we have let 1200 turds into Melbourne. We just got rid of most of them with closed borders.”

Regular segments will include ‘What’s on the front page’ and ‘What’s on the back page’, On This Day, Father Marty’s Fesshole and Shower Thoughts.’

This show is not trying to make or break news. Rather it is positioning itself to have fun with the news of the day and get people playing along. The team is just mucking around and having a laugh.

Sheargold said in the lead up to launch that he was going to build a clubhouse and let listeners join.

A week in, this club house is shaping up as a place Triple M listeners could well love.
