Love the show! Hutchy you razzed Damo about his Ron Burgandy moment however the “links are in the show notes” is actually a thing! Podcast episodes come with show notes including time stamps, promotional notes and links to advertisements.

SHOW NOTES

00 - Imagine being in Gillon McLachlan’s shoes right now. Finally got footy back up and running and now Alastair Clarskson is taking pot shots at the ‘state of the game’.

5.30 – Is running sport during COVID-19 becoming a code war as well as a state war of NRL v AFL? Discussion of the changing face of the hub set up. Hutchy feels like Melbourne teams should get out now while they can. If they don’t want to leave their families, then don’t go.

11.30 – reflecting on the current state of play under COVID-19. From international border closures to some Melbourne suburbs being off limits.

16.00 – The narrative around Heritier Lumumba’s claims of racism at Collingwood has been interesting. Use of the term ‘my truth’ or ‘his truth’ is worth discussing as is the nature of offence. Hutchy feels Collingwood should just make an unconditional apology.

25.00 – Taking Out the Trash. Lovely piece of work by Rugby Australia to tweet details of the AGM at 7.30pm on a Friday night. Thanks to listener Justin Cornell for the tip off.

29.00 – Discussion of budget cuts at the ABC while meanwhile the federal government announced $50 million public interest news gathering program to support rural and regional publishers and broadcasters.

35.30 – Question of the Week for Social Status

Toby Mew via Facebook asked;

"We often see controversial media personalities continue to get away with, frankly, extremely offensive statements. Some presenters, such as Alan Jones or Sam Newman, have a reputation for this and yet kept their seats for years. At face value, it seems that the media keeps them on for their ability to generate headlines, under the guise of promoting diverse opinions. At what point does the media say 'enough', and remove people from airtime for their remarks?

41.00 – Tik Tok for Business. Will advertising ruin the platform?

43.00 – Billions has run out! Hutchy was hanging out to finish the latest season of the show and now finds out the final episodes weren’t even filmed before COVID-19 shut down production. Hutchy wants suggestions of another ‘chips in’ series he can watch. Damo recommends Breaking Bad.

SHOW NOTES

.00 - Hutchy’s in Sydney after a road trip to get there. The positive COVID-19 test in the AFL was a huge wake up call.

3.10 – Sport should be a great example to society especially around COVID protocols. Worst example of that was Novak Djokovic’s elite tennis event and evidence of partying with no social distancing. Where are we at when Nick Kyrgios is the voice of reason in global tennis?

5.45 – Discussion of Damo’s article about Mark Ricciuto and his calls for Ricciuto to stand down.

14.00 – Damo’s response to Mark Robinson tweeting questions about whether Damo’s opinions can be construed as that of the AFL.

17.00 – Cricket Australia - where did all the money go?

23.00 – The race to be first to announce Conor McKenna as the player who had tested positive.

25.00 – News Limited story ‘Is Time Running Out for 60 Minutes?’ Story completely refuted by Nine, yet ran anyway. The ubiquitous ‘insider’ was quoted.

34.30 – Question of the Week for Social Status from Josh Macdonald via Email who asked;

“Hey guys, just a quick question in regards to today’s AFL players and podcasts I listen to – ie SEN, THE RUB podcast. Each time a current player comes on, I find myself skipping ahead on the podcast or changing stations if I’m listening live. They just aren’t that entertaining to listen to. Is that a big problem, going forward. That we are still relying on players of the past to keep us entertained ?”

Our question of the week is for Social Status. Social Media Marketing is more important than ever, visit SocialStatus.com.au, make sales or your money back!

39.40 - Alex Lavelle departs as editor of The Age after 20 years. He was one of the good ones.
