Sam you are a star ,love the podcast and everyone associated keep up the great work.
could you have gone any softer on him Sammy
no mention of how he sold his members down the river over the vaccine mandate?
Sam Newman is a cxnt who has confused reach with insight. A hero to racist cranky old men with limited education, pining for a past where their inadequacies were less obvious.
60k yrs, no written history. Oral history collected by colonials, archaeology and writing down of languages by same. No wheel. Pretty short history course.
Why are you taking money for FAKE ADVERTISING about Climate Change?? C’mon - thats shit. Love the show putting that aside…the last few months have been amazing in particular with just how ‘awakened’ you’ve become with ‘world affairs’.
Wade is spot on. If people go to everywhere BAR ‘BOUGHT MAINSTREAM MEDIA’ outlets, they’ll see he is 100% correct too!
Nicola is so much more talented than Neighbours anyway, you look at it… & she was spot-on about what she had to say about TV production, image issues & Covid politics.
Mike Sheehan did a typical journo thing… shat himself… when the criticism got hot! He is all talk no substance. Could work in an industry where he destroyed others with non-sense innuendo.. when he cops it himself… he flees… the man is truly spineless.. you had an opportunity to grow a pair Mike.. but you threw Sam & Don under a bus.
oh Sam!! what a control freak
Sam!!! we can hear Don perfectly. Shut up Foss!! leave the man alone.
Production quality… get Ivan back
wow Totti Goldsmith !
Topher is brilliant… well done guys… having him on to talk… his film is incredibly well done too
