I find Ben Fordham overdoes the 'acting' when he's on. Plays a character too much. (Even though Don and Sam also do, but I find it less obvious)

i like ben. good value. he also challenges and provides different sides which is good.
as for hte acting, he's been doing that since he was on the today show. morning shows would be seen as, wait for it, "woke" and he was a big part of the today show. he knows how to play the game.

this is painful
this is painful
Only one ep this week? Little worried about the state of the podcast at the mo
I would thoroughly enjoy a Don Scott podcast where he just talks about any old sh1t in his head, An hour long ramble about the bees in his garden would be fantastic. Am i alone in that thought? Lol
Yep and also do the other episodes of course, wonder why that didn't happen?

Im hoping that interview was a favour to someone. Forty-five minutes of some old bat telling us what she couldn't tell us, and the stories weren't even about her ffs.
The last 3 weeks have been unlistenable, too much has it become about Sam pushing his view unchallenged
Looking back both Mike and Rod knew nobody wants to listen to him bang on about Trump, slam Dan Andrews/COVID, transgender sport for 2 hours a week it gets boring.
Don has kept it interesting with his different take but needs a 3rd wheel to take Sam on or really limit the political talk

This is the second interview I turned off halfway through. Unlistenable.
The first was whatshisface stumbling trying to explain the draft.
Exactly. I've said before that there must be some good stories about his disastrous coaching stint in Adelaide
Do you know what Caro said regarding the Paralympics 10+ years ago?

Something about people will only watch it for a laugh when disabled athletes fall over.
Sam should just sit in the room and do his Jeff Kennett and Don impersonations for an hour

the 1st 5 all got a run today
you forgot I Cook Foods or whatever its called
I didnt hate the Tottie interview. Don made it for me by bringing up Totties mums name and not telling her how he knew it. I will probably keep listening to the interviews if there's a decent guest
Yep, most of that gets a run almost every week. And why hasn't Justin Trudeau been assassinated yet?!
If there's an interesting guest I might have a listen but I'm done too. Some episodes from the early days might be worth another listen one day.

Part 1 this week shouldn’t have gone to air.
Mike leaving was definitely the beginning of the end, but Rod the final nail in the coffin. I think people forget that before he started talking on the pod he was basically the producer, and he had been extremely successful doing that on TV with Fox Footy. Sam needs someone to keep him in check whilst also knowing when to let him go, it’s a push and pull like it was on The Footy Show. JB and Garry did it brilliantly. They had two people to do that when the pod started, now they have none.
