“When the professor first showed up on my TV screen. I thought look at this bloke, ugly, unskilled, the least successful of his siblings, some wit and loves his footy. We could all relate with that.
How wrong I was, I eventually realised he was no common man! This tall rangey winger had dominated his way through the schoolboy scene in the Nutri Grain cup. Many pundits were quoted as saying “ He’s essentially a young Scott Minto without the talent”.
It was like a dagger through the heart hearing that news, because we all learnt from The Footy Show that rugby league wingers aren’t funny. Though as the years went on, the laughs got cheaper and more forced. My excitement for this new podcast, much like Sandra’s love for a beachball-shaped son named Thomas quickly dwindled. What started with so much promise to be the best comedic sports show since Live & Sweaty with Andrew Denton (what’s with nerds named Andrew having sports shows?) quickly took a nose dive, and became another small time, run of the mill sports program. Still on the air though which is a win. If I could mis-quote the late, great Elton John “your legend burned out long before, your candle ever did”. 10/10 would recommend”
