I have been following Barstools Sports for a while now and their owner/leader David Portnoy on social media. It’s brilliant. The content they publish is crude, opinionated and at times inappropriate and that’s their aim. It seems to be taken with a grain of salt by their followers with many people agreeing or challenging the articles and stories they publish but happy to move on straight after. Reason I bring it up is I am growing frustrated that people aren’t allowed an opinion without it getting analysed to a T. Kane Cornes said on the footyshow the Alex Jezz. mark was over-rated and his comment made the radio, papers, social media ect and everyone wants to shut him down. Why can’t Australians accept an opinion and enjoy a barstools type product?

Bic Nenson on Facebook asks;

‪"Innovation is purely a risk management strategy. When required to, it’s amazing what people/organisations can do. When given the choice, it’s amazing how slow progress is. Hutchy - given the innovation put in place by big organisations recently to allow more of their employees to work from home what impact will this have on the commercial property sector moving forward post COVID 19 as these businesses shift their working arrangements?"

Join Craig Hutchison and Damian Barrett for a COVID-19 bonus chat about #CoronaSpeak.

Hutchy and Damo have some fun with the new words and phrases now dominating conversations. Are we all living the “new normal”, or is it the “new new”? Whatever it is, everyone needs to continue to “self isolate” and to be “agile” as they “WFH (work from home)” in order to “flatten the curve” and then “pivot” across the “runway” to the next phase.

We'd love to hear what words and phrases have caught your ear or eye on Twitter or Facebook. Or you can email the show [email protected]

Pete @AFLRatingsPete on Twitter asks;

Would you schedule AFL Saturday & Sunday game/s in 2020 without crowds to fit into prime time USA (Friday & Saturday nights), it would result in no overlap of games in Australia & maximise an advertising return for Ch.7 & Fox Footy?

45.00 Hutchy's big ideas. Why couldn’t the AFL focus on capturing a US audience? Damo’s worried Hutchy’s got too many whacky ideas during lockdown.
