Triple J has a DJ who goes by the name of Lewis McKirdy, but on air this is 'Lewi' - oh how cool.
Now, part of the Australian Way is to be 'laid back', this is cool by me. However Lewis takes this to a new level. When on the radio he sounds like he isn't even there, almost like he's just got out of bed, or maybe still in bed, seemingly disinterested in his work and paying little attention to whats going, he is without doubt a model Gen Y example.
This disinterest in quite infectious, and makes me want to sleep, which is probably not what his employer expects as an output from his 'work'.
Lewis insists on repeating "I'll be outta here in about XX an hour" proving that he is a clock watching Gen Y. His show only lasts 3 hours, but often, he is heard to say just a few minutes into the show "I'll be outta here in about 3 hours", it cant come quick enough for me.
terrible post - as Gen X i love Lewi - i find his ways so different to the roboticness of all other presenters -
ReplyDeleteSo many awkward silences during his slot and unintelligent dribble, I have to switch off. Don't get me started on Matt Okine's attempt at rapping. The most annoying thing I've heard. ever!
DeleteWith you on both points Louise McTurdies' mindless dribble and Matt's attempted rapping need to go!!
Deletehe is an idiot, who says "laters" & "i have gtg".
ReplyDeletehe is an idiot, who says "laters" & "i have gtg".
ReplyDeleteLewis is often pronounced "Loo-ee". So your crap hook is even more crap than you should have realised.
ReplyDeleteHe manages to sound confused and surprised at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI think his unintelligent ramblings are annoying, too, and he doesn't seem to fit in with the other presenters...not to mention his terrible attempts at 'small talk'. However, as a member of Gen Y, I honestly find your post agist and slightly offensive. Perhaps you could try to be a bit more thoughtful.
ReplyDeleteLol! I can't stand Lewi. This isn't a gen y trait. This is just plain annoyingness. The inanity is overwhelming.
ReplyDeletethe guys is a KNOB full stop. im listening to him now and feelings of anger and angst are bubbling to the surface! YOU ARE NOT COOL!
ReplyDeleteWhy do u people feel the need to crticise or have a 'blog of hate'. Try smiling more and criticizing less. And as for Lewis, if you don't like it, listen to something else! Problem solved!
ReplyDeleteAGREED!!! Lewis is awesome anyways. Go and be depressed elsewhere....
DeleteWorst presenter, most arrogant when speaking to musicians who actually have something to be arrogant about. So glad there are more haters
DeleteNo it is not we want to listen to our JJJ we just want a better presenter. This is not hate it is a review.
Delete^^ fuck you lewi-lover!
ReplyDeletei reckon hes alright. go listen to ray hadley ya wanker
ReplyDeleteYou guys are kidding right? I'd take Lewi on the radio any day over those wankers Tom and Alex, the Doctor or the worst one of them all....Sam fucking Simmons.
ReplyDeleteI'm gen x and lewy is a breath of fresh air.
ReplyDeleteSo is a FART
DeleteThere was a man named Lewis Jones. He went by the name of Brian.
ReplyDeleteI love lewy fucking pissa
ReplyDeleteI've not listened to Triple J for a few years and I am currently streaming the Hottest 100. I was quite concerned that I'd been out of the country so long that I have now turned against Aussie broadcasters so it was reassuring to find others who think this guy is a wanker, but you are a dick for concluding he's a "model Gen Y example". Now I am going to go back to my clock watching and general fucking around until 5pm.
ReplyDeleteLewi is one of the worst presenters in radio. He sounds like the work experience kid who just hung around too long and no one has noticed. I always change stations as soon as he gets on air.
ReplyDeletelewis is the god of all gods. you guys just dont have a sense of humor, there is a things call AM radio, you guys sound like you would love it. Your ability to criticize everything makes you seem like a dick. i think your a dick
ReplyDeleteLewis did you write this?
DeleteMartin, you suck. Please quit the internet.
ReplyDeleteLewi is a fag..... He is aussie, fukin act like it. If ya wanna be a yank and talk like a yank Fuck Off to yank land.... I think I saw him once lickin some doods nuts in a Sydney night club 2. LEWWWWIIII if ya read thus during your down time ..fuck you you fukin fagget and if ya come to WA ya gonna get flogged kook
ReplyDeleteLove from Anon.
DeleteThis is horrible, disgusting and completely intolerant. This blog , and its negative replies, are what is wrong with the world. Let people be themselves and stop caring about what others do. I find it so sad that people are so filled with anger and hate and can't accept people for being individual, as we all are.
DeleteYears later and this post is still getting comments. Why? because lewi does not deserve to be a radio presenter. One word - unprofessional.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy most of jjjs programming, but from 12 - 3 I have to keep my radio remote close to hand so I can mute lewi's droning incompetent mumblings.
who cares,! Let the guy be. Obviously you were thinking about him or looked him up on the net and you stumbled across this shit blog as I did. People are still commenting cause, like me, they probably can't understand how insane people like you are and how stupid you sound. Cool, so you don't even listen to him, so why the hell are you bothering to comment? Negative people = bunch of losers.
DeleteYou'll get your karma! Clearly triple j is clever and knew they needed younger people who speak the language of a younger generation. You clearly aren't so clever. Keep not listening. I'm sure you'll survive

Lewi!!! hahaha best dude on tripple j ..... probably the radio full stop. Just doing some cold chilling on your Friday afternoon. lol love it
ReplyDeleteLewi's style is what sets him apart and makes him! Triple J is about the music and he adds a chilled unexaggerated persona that doesnt distract or try and compete with the tunes! He goes against the norm of presenting - with a tone more like your chatting to a friend not some radio personality - he's gold :)
ReplyDeleteMcKirdy is a bellend
ReplyDeleteHe definitely doesn't deserve the lunch slot, he's so boring.
ReplyDeleteDudes got nice taste in music. Like his laid back style but I'm coming from community radio 3RRR so he sound like a right pro. Its about the music people, if you want a playlist shock jocky nova is on the dial somewhere.
ReplyDeleteThe guys a tool! Has zero music knowledge and likes spouting phrases like "the latest club banger" and "wait for the drop" WTF! I have to turn radio over everytime hes on.
ReplyDeleteLewi McKirdy is an absolute boss. He is by far the best presenter on Triple J! He has great music taste which obviously influences other presenters as they often replay new music he has introduced. And the stuff he says is hilarious, don't take it all so seriously. His phrases and terminology set him apart from a dull and boring sea of bullshit presenters.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad the Doctor is gone for good with his terrible vox recordings and self promotion. The Doctor was by far the worst Triple J presenter, but you probably love him because you're a grandpa who doesn't understand the youth of this generation. Go over to Double J where the oldies are the target audience and you might feel more at home.
Lewis does not select the music. A music director does. He just makes out that he does.
DeleteI agree though, the doctor was a fucktard and I'm still glad he is gone.
I typed in "Lewis McKirdy is a fuckwit and came across this. I particularly didnt like him when he tried to sound like Sam Simmons.
ReplyDeleteI wish he would bounce the fuck off
ReplyDeleteMartin you are cactus as fuck , likely to be a winging public servant or hipster who has nothing to do during his working day other than post about everything he hates in Australia , I've stumbled across your piece of shit blog by accident and its ruined my happy Saturday. Do yourself and the rest of the community a service , walk into your backyard , observe the prettiest tree you can find , and hang yourself by your winging neck from it
ReplyDeleteCould someone please tell Lewi McKirdy (or Lew-boy or Lew-dog or Dirt-dog or whatever the fuck he calls himself) to fuck off to Nova or somewhere?
ReplyDeleteYou can't be laid back when you're trying this hard...
He's not being cool. He's just cooked as, its hilarious.
ReplyDeleteThis blog hurts my eyes
ReplyDeleteLewi for life, fucking your wife
ReplyDeleteI also really dislike Lewi. Casual and laidback is great - and its good that we have moved so far from the old days where everyone had to speak with a British accent and a stick up their bum. But Lewi takes it way too far. I find it unlistenable.
ReplyDeleteThank-you..I was beginning to think I was the only hater of Toolie McTurdy...The tool has an ego bigger than John Laws..count how many times he says "I" in his 3 hour slot, and don't get me started on his dropping his g's on every word...kinda guy that was not very popular at school and had a funky odour...
ReplyDeleteHis interview with The Wombats a couple of weeks ago was embarrassing. He seemed incredibly under prepared and topped it off by making the band do wombat impersonations. The band seemed confused by the whole experience.
ReplyDeleteLEWI McKIRDY = ABSOLUTE FUCKTARD
ReplyDeleteI love Lewi’s laidback, unique and sometimes confused style. For all those that don’t, there’s plenty of other radio stations for you to listen to which lack anything mildly unique and consequently annoying.
ReplyDeleteMcKirdy is a complete Deadshit
ReplyDeleteIf I had a dollar for every time lewis say his name in a shift, well I fucking would be rich. I resent the fact that I'm paying into Triple J and this dick is just serving his own needs and promoting himself more than an announcer should. He reminds me of the hipster DJ of Grand Theft Auto V Radio Mirror Park. Shove that pennyfarthing up your arse Lewis Magnus McDicky.
ReplyDeleteMckirdy you're a fucken muppet play your shit gear somewhere else
ReplyDeleteAs soon as i hear mckirdy i know im gunna have a bad time...
ReplyDeleteSPEAK UP MKIRDY I CANT HEAR YOUR DRIBBLE!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that Lewi McKirdy will not be included in Triple J's 2017 line up.
ReplyDeleteNothing personal Lew-boy but it makes me want to do harm to others each time I hear you on the radio. Such utter contempt for everyone, such laid back style, such laconic and un-humerous comments. Good luck for the future, hope I don't have to put up with you on the radio again.
Heck off anon, I'm gonna miss Lew-boy myself as he's fr*ckin epic
ReplyDeleteWAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNKEERRRRRRR
DeleteLewi, ignore the haters mate, they are sad people that would lead sad lives. Feel sorry for their families.
ReplyDeleteI work on construction sites all over Perth and I'm nearly 50 and listened to JJJ for 30+ years and you rocked.Never heard a bad word said about your show, actually we all loved it.
Best of luck in the future. Sure you will be going places, unlike the sad people.
Guy from WA above, your a disgrace and don't deserve to live in this great state.
Good day everyone!
