21 February 2007: Mr. T Dumps Rosie’s Cheating Boyfriend Phil Live on Air

 

A podcast best-of episode featuring Scott Mills away, with a memorable stunt: Mr. T himself calling up a listener’s unfaithful boyfriend to deliver a live radio dumping, complete with characteristic catchphrases and moral outrage.

This episode, presented as a “best bits” podcast while Scott Mills was away, centres on a listener phone-in dump. Rosie calls in wanting to end her relationship with her boyfriend Phil after discovering he’s been unfaithful — she caught him kissing someone at a club, and although he promised it wouldn’t happen again, she later found out he was seeing another girl called Linda from university.

The show decides to make the breakup memorable by calling in a celebrity guest: Mr. T from *The A-Team*. Before the big call, Mr. T explains his fear of flying (despite being afraid of nothing else and beating himself three times a day) and builds anticipation for what’s to come. When Phil answers the phone, he’s initially confused but realises he’s speaking to the real Mr. T. Danny Howard helps facilitate the call, and Mr. T delivers the dump with full force, telling Phil he’s “washed up,” “finished,” and that Rosie’s had enough of his cheating ways — specifically calling out his involvement with Lindsay. Mr. T emphasises that Rosie deserves better and won’t be anyone’s “second banana.” The whole thing is framed as Rosie’s ultimate payback for his infidelity, with Mr. T bringing both gravitas and humour to the proceedings. Rosie responds positively to how the dump went, with Mr. T wishing her better luck with her next boyfriend.
