Radio The SEN Thread 10

[pepsi]

Finey lost the plot last night with his rant against Dave Culbert's anti drugs views. Long story short reckons there is a huge difference between Lance Armstrongs drug regime and Essendon's. Really? both were systematic and both lied to ASADA/WADA investigators when questioned about said programs.
Also reckons that TB4 isnt performance enhancing - really? So Finey is now a scientist? Conveniantly didnt mention that Essendon only got done for TB4 because that was basically the strongest evidence they had to convict. God knows what else they took and asada suspected but couldn't prove.

Yep Essendon and Armstrong cases the same basically.

You know, one where we have systematic doping from an individual for several years, where he lead and forced others in his team to take part in it, compared to a couple of individuals at a footy club who duped players into what they were taking for several months.

Yep, totally the same.

 

[bedford]

Well said

 

[RedmanWasHere]

Does anyone know what song is played over the Coaches Box promo

Cheers.

 

[peternorth]

im not on either side (essendon or the other), dont really care too much whats happened or what might happen, or slight differences in legal eyes as to who did what and how it compares to other high profile cases. im sure there are similarities and differences. if richmond were involved id probably take more of a stance, or if i knew someone high profile who was speaking about the issue.

I agree. Even as a one eyed Hawks supporter I can see there are major differences in these two cases. I think Essendon the club is way more culpable than the players and yet it's the players who have to stand out and the club still fields a team. Players have been screwed IMO. No wonder they are looking at legal action.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Thanks! Been wondering too and googled to no avail.

I haven't heard Ralphy on SEN for a while, I think I am away from the radio during his times but I remember either:

My apologies if they are not what you are looking for.

Why can't Finey get Tweets or Facebook messages from listeners, like every other station in the world since 2010?
He goes: "our sms machine isn't working properly, so we can only really take calls."
He's not getting my comedy gold

Because the target audience for finey don't know how to use Twitter or Facebook.

They really want talk back, hence why they only give out prizes for calls not texts. I often wonder about the whole 'SMS machine is broken' thing and wonder if it's just a ploy to get more people to call in. I've sent in the odd text (never been read out on air) but would not call in if they offered me a million bucks.

 

[Sassafras]

Shut up Pam! Or at least stop the small talk, it's giving me a headache.

Lately it was actually broken, they had to change over to a new system and there have been a few bugs.

Yes, I had a good chuckle when one of the overnight team mentioned that all the numbers that were blocked under the previous system, aren't blocked anymore.

The target audience for Finey still think he's called Viney!

Another song request.

The one that's played when Nigel Carmody's introduced.

Cheers.

Gee SEN are good for songs that wriggle in one's ear (AKA, Earworms.)

 

[andrew coombs]

Not sure if they still use it but Ralph used to be introduced with " I'm a King Bee" , a Slim Harpo song covered by the Rolling Stones in 1964. The a stones version is the one on SEN.

It sounds too recent to be the Rolling Stones.

Sounds like late '80's or early '90's pop.

Finey called Tomic a dickhead, spot on

 

[peternorth]

finey was also tomics biggest fan during the davis cup.

 

[MacMum]

..so was I.

Unfortunately, I've been in and out of love with both Tomic and Kyrgios after their antics. Pretty much lost me now, and I'm guessing a lot of others.
