Mini-Me. Ray Hadley's Mark Levy.
Wednesday, 22 December 2021
Mark Levy - the mini-me of 2GB.
Mark Levy is Ray Hadley's fill-in guy.
More importantly, he's everything Ray wants him to be.
If Hadley says lockdowns - Mark says "we need lockdowns"
If Hadley says more marks - Mark says "we need to wear masks".
If Ray says the Premier is bad - Mark says "we need to do something about the Premier"
It's sad and quite embarrassing to listen to.
Hadley goes on holidays but has taken to regularly calling into his show to make sure that his fill-in guy stays on message.
Hadley has been badgering the Premier with text messages to push his 'expert view' while on holidays.
Today he called Levy to boast about it:
"I just sent the Premier a message to ask him how the bed wetting is going"
Levy chuckles along and agrees with everything Hadley thinks.
It's a career preservation tactic.
Levy knows that Ray has his dobber squad that reports anyone who drifts from the approved point of view.
Poor old Mark is a bad mimic. Right down to Hadley's poor radio craft and bully snigger.
He insults emailers who disagree with him - just like Hadley - reading out their full names to shame them. Sadly, just like Ray, he lacks the intellectual rigour to make it funny. He just blurts out mean things and plays stupid music stings.
Levy is the radio equivalent of the pissed idiot in the pub that everyone avoids.
Mark Levy the mini-me of 2GB.
