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

[peternorth]

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.

dont necessarily disagree with you per se. Sams views are probably typical/the norm for one of his vintage. I suppose when we enter that age realm our views will be of how we grew up and views there within. Its natural.

Youll note that sam often ends his views with "when will it end?". Often speaking his mind about trans issues including pronouns, racism, the left/ALP/democrats, climate change. When will it end suggests something is happening that veers from what he is used to/like/lives by. And that's normal and fine.

I'm not anti-conservative as such, but Newman's political views don't tend to contain much substance apart from "be nasty to people who are trying to be kind".

 

[Rod Stroker]

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.

I don't understand why the call blacks African Americans.

They don't call the whites there European Americans.

 

[The Made Guy]

They should film this podcast and plonk it on YouTube.

It doesn't take much expertise.

 

[Agenda 21]

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

G'day, Don!

That story a few podcasts back about what Don said to retired Federal Judge Finkelstein was friggen hilarious

I really enjoyed all 3 parts this week. They never actually got to any topic, they just talked shit lol I laughed and i have no idea why! And Mark Knight was really good too

 

[revo333]

Part 1 went nowhere, but I couldn't stop listening!

 

[peternorth]

Listening to episode 1 now

 

[peternorth]

What the **** is going on in this episode

 

[Split pea]

I don't understand why the call blacks African Americans.

They don't call the whites there European Americans.

To be white was to be American default as they controlled the power structures and weren't othered

I thought all 3 episodes were good listening today, they were all over the place but had me laughing out loud on a number of occasions.

 

[blueboy25]

I was in tears in episode 2 when they are talking about Sam punching on with a former melbourne player years ago and then they brought up "trough boy" when Sam had a fight in the toilets in the MCC.

And then Sonny 'Boy' Williams

theyve talked about that mcc toilet incident a lot over the year(s). Very funny stuff

I wish they'd talk about Don's disastrous coaching stint in Adelaide. There's gotta be some lols in that somewhere

 

[The Made Guy]

I find it amazing (admirable) that Sam can be in the studio doing a podcast and belly-laughing out loud only 9 or 10 days after finding his wife deceased and having to try and revive her, and a day before her funeral.

Rod sounds like he has become a very good mate to Sam. Does their close friendship pre-date the podcast? Doesn't really matter at all, he just sounds like a decent bloke (and he loves dogs...which immediately makes him a good bloke!).

I remember them going over it in detail last year, I wish I new what week it was and I would have another listen

 

[Keith Ape]

SONNY BOY WILLIAMS! Can't stop thinking about it and keep cracking up.

 

[peternorth]

So so so Sam blames collingwoods ills on the removal of Ed.

 

[peternorth]

Hahah Sonny boy

 

[peternorth]

Hahah Sonny boy

 

[Rod Stroker]

Used to love them back in school!
