Surprising that whatever happened (the disagreement or whatever) last year has caused BT to leave The Rub, wouldn't you cater for him rather than Bill playing the dumbass or Damo who doesn't even really break news anyway?

I'm starting to warm to Bernie Vince on Saturday.

I was listening yesterday to the first half in the car, but missed the 2nd half.

I was really hoping they might podcast the Noah Balta "bit" - which they've done today. BT's style still defines Triple M when he's on form and doesn't have the shits. (He was on air with Barrett this week, so the air might be clearing a bit. BT also had the shits with Brownless too though.)

I had a quick listen to the pod, and I think they missed the funniest part that I heard in the first half:

"There's a DOG on the field! Oh wait, it's just Noah Balta's seeing eye dog."

That whole passage was very funny, (and long: if anyone knows NW subs, I reckon I travelled from Military Rd Avondale Heights to well past Melton during the running gag :p )

I think it was two or three years ago when Carey said a player was the most accurate kick in footy - might have been Tippa - BT and JB were calling him the modern day tony lockett.

Triple M will always be listenable whilst JB and BT are there
 
Can anyone fill me in on what happened between BT and Billy?

Brownless was going on about how BT didn’t make the 1990 GF, and how he plays second fiddle to Bruce at Channel 7. And BT gave it back to him about his GF losses and no impact. But Brownless kept giving to him and by the time the quiz came up he walked off.

Dane Swan is a close second.

He’s just boring and not even funny

Which is quite hilarious given BT released his book hanging s**t on Lethal & his teammates mere weeks after that Grand Final win

Which is what sparked the World According To The Cool Breeze

BT can obviously handle people taking the piss out of him but Bill is just incessant, with poor timing and generally unfunny. He thinks everyone loves him as a piss head dopey bastard but is finding out that it’s not the case

I remember that happening but just thought it was all a bit of theatre. Not a huge fan of BT as a commentator but did find him funny on The Rub. Billy comes across as an affable idiot.

BT seems a bit sensitive to me love him but over the 18 years I’ve been listening to MMM there has been a few times where he seems to love to give it and not love the taking it. He seems to get over it reasonably quickly though.
He seemed to love seeing Bill

I don't think anyone loves taking it more than giving it apart from Sam Newman. But yeah that seems a weird moment for them to fall out, had been pretty chummy on the Ms for a while though.

I like Bill more than you seem to, but this is generally correct. I don't believe for a second that the ongoing series' of Bristle's old 927 interviews or old press clippings were the result of a random guy dropping them off at Clarendon St - BT has brought them in for a bit of ME time. So that Grand Final episode last year was a bit bizarre when he stopped taking the joke.
