Anthony needs to stop treating foreign callers like they have two heads.

I get it, people in the radio industry don't exactly have an international mindset. The top goal of everyone in terrestrial radio is *national* syndication, and I get that a decade spent with Sirius XM, who are essentially restricted to the US and Canada, reinforces the same kind of thinking, and makes the rest of the world seem very distant and remote.
I understand that it was very surprising for the boys way back in 2010 when they realized that they were picking up a whole bunch of foreign fans who discovered them through clips on youtube, file sharing sites, or through their relationships with international stars like Jim Jefferies, and Ricky Gervais.
So I get that its still kind of a novelty to be fielding calls from Europe, but you have a whole bunch of international fans that discovered you guys through the internet, they aren't space aliens.

My only problem is the misconception that ALL Australians go up at the end of their sentence or are all insufferable cunts like Jason Ellis. Those people are like our hillbillies.

It's the fans fault too when they call from a foreign place but really don't have an interesting question or point to talk about so all that can be spoken about is where they are from. Let's not forget how many times people from Boston would call and Ant and Jimmy would rag on their accents for like 5 minutes before taking their calls. In conclusion stop with the whiny victim complex.

Oh, I have no problem with negativity and criticism, but I think it's getting a tad silly when complaints about how international callers are treated merits a thread.

I kind of get the point of this thread.
Anthony acts like he's making first contact whenever someone from another country calls in.
As in, stop acting so shocked and just take the call dummy, you're being tedious.

In the wrong subreddit no less.
