The 3AW thread

T Elliot seemed to be saying the other day that Covid is not worse than a bad cold and that vaccines are more risky than getting Covid? Had an expert on who debunked what he was saying but after talking to her went back to sprouting the same line.

RIP to the millions of people who have died from Covid

Ha

Of all the sicknesses I’ve had in 57 years the first bout of Covid in 2021 knocked me sideways for a month

I reckon had I not been vaccinated I would have been in big trouble

It's hard to believe just how bad Jimmy Bartel and Mark Allen are as holidayreplacements for Ross and Russel in the breakfast slot. Jimmy has the whiniest voice known to man, whiile Marko just seems to know "nothin' about nothin".

if you're going to get temporary replacements, it's always best to get someone who can't/won't outshine you.

Not much chance of that (insert whiny Jimmy voice here)

I've given up on Tom, music it is now. I haven't even listened to Ross and Russ for a couple of weeks.

Dunno who is opposite JB at breakfast but his lack of knowledge about the Thai Cave Rescue and how they got the boys out after sedating them was embarrassing on Monday.

Mark Allen? Think he was on last week and he's quite sh*t and lacking

Look I don’t think you need to be all the Cave rescue but to turn around and say how did they get the kids out when they were anaesthetised “did they put pegs on their nose?” was off.

Been a big week in 3aw. the bondi shooting featuring a man of islamic faith. Big ratings bonanza. But then the hero is also of the same faith. Thought needed.

“featuring a man of Islamic faith’ what are on about? That man that ‘featured’ was two very evil souls using their twisted religious beliefs to justify one of the worst things to ever happen in this country. People are obviously and justifiably upset and angry. Both with the nutters and the nutters that cheer them on and leaders that allow them to.

Yes. Absolutely. Who wouldn't be (someone NQR obviously)?

As I said a ratings bonanza. Even bad news is good news (for the media).

3AW nearly as bad as the ABC in not addressing the massive ‘elephant in the room’. Blind Freddy can see it, but apparently our PM can’t?

3AW are not stupid. They push towards the line and get their calls fired up and let THEM do the talking.

Any of the parties in power won't do shit about this situation.

Heidi Murphy is great I reckon, not so Jackie Felgate. Yet on the ABC I much prefer Ally Moore over the fill in Mary ?
In the mornings I am 50/50 Tom Elliot/Raf Epstein, both have their blind spots. I cannot ever listen to the fill ins on AW, terrible, Justin Smith is the best of the lot when he comes on when Raf is sick.

Yeah, former golfer, Mark Allen. He barely knows anything outside of golf and Collingwood.

This small display of ignorance by him amused me:

One day on SEN, the subject of companies shipping ice around the world in the old days came up for some reason.
He thought it was bogus that the industry lasted so long after the invention of electricity, because he assumed that refrigeration somewhat magically materalised right after electricity became widespread.

He was so adamant, saying stuff like, "What are you on about? Edison invented the modern light bulb in the 1880s, so I don't believe the that selling of ice still happened for another 30 years after!"

Eh, ya hadta hear it
