I was talkSPORT's caller of the day - now I have my own show and plan live Ibiza phone-in

talksport.com, 12 August 2023, 08:00
From ranting about Tottenham to getting his own show on talkSPORT - it's been a whirlwind decade for DJ Majestic.

Real name Kevin Christie, the music producer will be hosting a show every Sunday alongside Alan Pardew from 6pm to 9:30pm.

It's something Majestic would have only dreamed about ten years ago when he phoned talkSPORT up as a disgruntled Spurs supporter.

Incensed by a thumping suffered at the hands of Liverpool under Tim Sherwood's tutelage, Majestic was named as talkSPORT's caller of the day.

And now he will be the one to take phone calls from fans in his show 'Final Word with Maj and Pards', which will dissect all the major talking points from the Premier League that weekend.

Majestic, who is part of a new-look talKSPORT line-up that includes Jeff Stelling, Martin O'Neill and Danny Rose, is no stranger to listeners.

Jeff Stelling joins talkSPORT as part of new line-up including Danny Rose

He has worked on various shows and has recently been a regular contributor on the Transfer Insiders with Ade Oladipo and Rory Jennings.

Speaking to talkSPORT.com about his rise to getting his own show, Majestic, who scored a number one hit in 2021 with his remix to Boney M.'s 'Rasputin', said: "I'm a fan of talkSPORT first.

"I was covered on the Sports Bar when I won caller of the day about ten years ago.

"And I still have my talkSPORT bug. So I often say to people, 'if you want to manifest stuff, then it exists'.

"Because calling in after a drab Spurs performance when we got battered at home against Liverpool."

Majestic then poked fun at co-host Pardew for Tottenham's record defeat against Koln in the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1995 where the German side won 8-0 in which he played.

He quipped: "It wasn't quite the record defeat that Pards was involved in, but I won't talk about that!"

The music producer continued: "But we got absolutely battered, and I rang up talkSPORT and they were like, 'oh you're really good on air' and I was like 'oh thanks'.

"And then low and behold now after being on the fringes and the cusp of a lot of work done down Wembley Way down the Euros.

"And coming off the back of exiting the World Cup with Carlton Cole, to be part of this transfer window as I like to call it with Jeff and working alongside Pards, I don't take that lightly.

"My respect for Pards as a person in the world of sport - not just as a player but as a manager - is huge, because he's someone that I used to watch on Match of the Day.

"I always thought there was something about this guy, so to actually be working alongside these people, I never take it for granted.

"And I'm always aware of my privilege, and to be a part of this new transfer window so to speak, is legendary."

Majestic has big ambitions for his show in the future as he revealed he wishes to broadcast live from Ibiza next summer, insisting it would be an 'epic show'.

Though don't expect Pardew to join him in the party island.

The ex-West Ham boss joked: "Let me answer that for you - no!"

It's a blow for Majestic and talkSPORT listeners, as he waxed lyrical over Pardew's iconic dance moves - shown in the 2016 FA Cup final after Jason Puncheon broke the deadlock against Manchester United in the eventual 2-1 defeat.

He said: "They are phenomenal. I said to him in our first meeting, let's get the dance out the way now, they are awesome, and I think it's something that should be celebrated.

"And I think we should definitely have a quiz at what tune was in Alan's head when he did the dance, when that goal went in, I wonder what he was hearing, those dance moves are legendary."

But Majestic knows the perfect replacement for Pardew if he isn't up for it - talkSPORT Breakfast legend Alan Brazil.

He stated: "I know Alan is itching for a night out with me in Ibiza, because every time I do Breakfast with him, he's like, 'right Maj when are we going?', I'm like, 'you're always welcome'.

"But Ironically, we could do transfer rumours in the summer live from O Beach, because everyone's there!

"When the Declan Rice deal [to Arsenal] was getting done, apparently he was doing his medical - he's at the DJ booth at O Beach with me!"

Majestic has also declared he played a part in James Maddison's £40million transfer from Leicester this summer having put the groundwork in last year.

He declared: "And I've said this on record and I'll say it again, James Maddison to Tottenham, you go back 12 months, I was in his ear at O Beach saying, 'we need you at Spurs'.

"And I kid you not, I had him singing Spurs songs with me. Now whether or not he signed just because of me, I don't say yes or no."

Listen to Maj and Pards every Sunday from 6pm to 9:30pm
