Radio 'You cannot be serious' podcast with Sam Newman, Don Scott and Rod Law

[mr bagcroft]

For fu**s sake.

Elmer needs to pull the stick out of his arse and insert it through his eye. Come on dude, get your shit together FFS.

 

[mr bagcroft]

Sam Newman despite his tragic and sad loss does not deserve to be let off the hook for his previous bigoted, racist, homophobic,Islamaphobic rants etc

The bloke is a prick, and.frankly I can see him shacked up with a woman 30 years younger than him within 8 weeks or so.

If the so called footy community rallies around him by offering him a plum job in the media again, I will spew. .

Dude? come on, your a a grade ****.

Episode 93. Sam talking about the horsey jump event. Very funny

 

[Keith Ape]

Sam and Don remind me of a senile Australian Ricky Gervais and Karl at times. Love it.

 

[Dan Moody]

Episode 93. Sam talking about the horsey jump event. Very funny

He mentioned the video he took was on Facebook or Instagram but I'll be stuffed if I can find it.
Anyone managed to find it, would be hilarious hearing Sam's commentary over the top

 

[Agenda 21]

That was harrowing listening.

I don't know how well I'd do, if I was in Sam's position.

I love my beautiful partner, and hope to never find out.

Condolences, Sam + Amanda's family.

 

[Suspense]

Not offering an opinion one way or another but amazing Sam can do parts 2 and 3 like normal and be his usual self given the circumstances - especially given how hard part 1 was for him. He is certainly a unique cat.

Sam is nothing if not a consummate professional performer/entertainer (even his silent treatment episode was 'part of the act').
He is a 'show must go on' type of guy.

 

[peternorth]

Id like Sam to take the Vic liberal party to task and hold them more accountable for as Don alludes to providing nothing in terms of an alternative.

the iCook disgrace, where the link to the ALP is, Don noted the Libs should take this on. Sam glossed over it. I feel Sam doesn’t want to criticise the liberal party.

 

[peternorth]

Lol why can’t we say the N word?

 

[Buzzasto DaSilva]

Just finished listening to Part 1. The part that got me emotional, was hearing him talk about listening to, and following the instructions of the paramedic on the whole to try and revive his wife when he knew there was absolutely no chance of her coming back. You wish absolutely nobody to be in that situation, let alone your worst enemy.

Sam is incredibly polarising, but he is absolutely heartbroken at the moment, and I am glad I got to hear his story, from his voice.

 

[freddy mercury]

Lol why can’t we say the N word?

I never understood that. African Americans use it so frequently to each other, its basically like our " Mate " But the second a white dude says it, they wanna go to war. I understand it could perhaps be a cultural thing and that's fine, I don't mind.

For what its worth, I never use it, never have, never will.

As horrible and difficult it would've been, Sam conducted himself and held himself together extremely well. It is a credit to him, his attitude is something else. He is no doubt hurting inside like you wouldn't believe, but on the outside, he is such a positive person. I wish I had that attitude, I really do. G

Went for a long run around the Yarra this afternoon and driving home I put on Part 3 of the latest podcast.
Talking to Mark Brayshaw and his foray into the medicinal marijuana business.
First thing Don asks, "what pants are you wearing?"
Also Don, "I was thinking of growing some a few years ago, putting up a steel fence around them. Would that have been okay Mark?"

yeah. think youre right. i think the word has connotations, but importantly the way in which a non afrian amiercan says it is important. Usually its vitriolic and discriminatory. thats why theyd be angered at its use.

I like podcasts, they provide a place for people I don't want to hear from.

Agree with all this, never used it.
BUT, they want it to change, change comes from within, they need to stop using it to refer to each other, and in songs etc.
Because in general alot of people are not too smart and will hear it and think, well...must be ok then.

Russell Jackson - ABC News

Russell writes great long-form pieces. Untold stories about football that improve lives and help to right wrongs. He won a swag of sports journalism awards last year, and rightly so. Here a couple of pieces you can check out:

Written off as a party animal and addict, AFL star Rod Owen was hiding dark secrets

Rod Owen was a St Kilda star at 16, but within a year he was an alcoholic and drug addict. Many blamed his spiral on injuries and partying, but his addictions masked childhood traumas he'll never forget.

The persecution of Robert Muir is a story football doesn't want to hear

A decade-long campaign of racial abuse pushed St Kilda's 1970s star Robert Muir to the point of despair. Russell Jackson spoke to the man who football wiped from its Indigenous history.

www.abc.net.au

Sam Newman is a corrosive boomer, staring into the abyss of his own creeping irrelevance and going out swinging at anything that moves.
Don Scott is a more interesting character, but again an embittered person and very much in the "old man yells at cloud" vein. He'd be potentially good on a podcast if he was paired with a different personality type, but he and Sam are just going to be jostling for who has the most spiteful hot take.
