Was anyone else listening to the 3AW news at 2pm? I could have sworn Tony Tardio referred to 'the attorney general Christian Petracca'. There were two stories, one about the attorney general (or maybe it was the auditor general ) and another story about Petracca but I think Tony got them muddled up.

Hmm, it seems he did.
Don't ask.......

Lol, I thought so (good I'm not going mad ). The funny thing was after the news Dennis Walter picked him up on something in the weather report (which wasn't even that bad) and I'm thinking, "What about Christian Petracca being the attorney general??? ", which is why I thought maybe I'd imagined it.

Registered User I am getting worried about you

Now I'll have to listen to the weather. Ha.

Registered User I am getting worried about you

Well, perhaps I am a worry. My excuse: as I've said before, I'm tosser bike rider (lycra, Beach Rd, the lot), and I like listening to stuff for the few hours I ride (and while doing other stuff), so I record slabs of SEN on an AV input on a DVR, then dub anything "listenable" onto something portable. My Panasonic recorder records for 36 hours non-stop in 8-hour blocks. I try to start recording at the start of a news break, then let it go for most of the day.

I even bought a new Panasonic DVR for tv, so I can use the old one just for radio. I wonder what the grownups are doing instead

Can't remember who but someone on SEN the other day pronounced "albeit" like the name Al

Better than people (I think Hamish McLachlan is one that does iirc) that pronounce it "ABLEET"

Damien Barrett pronounces it that way

Leigh Matthews described Tom Hawkins' contact with the umpire as "smudgingly". He suggested the contact was negligible, and said: "if you make any contact, even smudgingly, as it was....."

The bloke doing Adel v Carl is really good, boring tone of voice but for play by play he’s alright!

Dunstall in awe of a Dusty fend-off:

"Martin treated Nat Fyfe with discontempt"

 

[HahnPremium]

Mick Malthouse made a funny! Granted it was at the expense of super IQ man Kane Cornes on the Sunday footy show
Tony Jones "'Thanks Mick for being here. We are particularly interested in your thoughts on the Adelaide Carlton game. Take it away kane"
Kane " Thanks Tony. Mick. What are you seeing out of Carlton and how concerned are you about them""
Mick " Not overly concerned ."
LOL

Slobbo said "gufforfed" instead of "guffawed" today on 3aw. He also used "chuffed" incorrectly in the same breath. They were talking to Andrew Gaze, and Robbo said, "I asked you 5 years ago if it was time to start comparing Lebron James to Michael Jordan, and you gafforfed and chuffed and had a crack at me...."

Plenty of people get "contact" and "conduct" mixed up when talking about footy suspensions. They often say "condact", but I've heard "contuct" a few times.

Last night Spud said ''ear mashes'' instead of ear massages.

During the half time interval of Chelsea vs Liverpool, Chelsea TV commentator Ben Andrews described the 1st half as a ''half of two halves''.

Wayne Carey on Talking footy.
Such analysis. Such insight. Such football knowledge. Ideal man to let us plebs understand the game better.
Wayne Carey to Brad Scott.
"Brad. Its well known that you went after a big fish in the summer. You werent able to land that big fish. Is it in your plan this year to try and land a big fish?"
LOL

 

[Registered User]

Carey also has a dumb habit of repeating questions he's just been asked.

Spud: "I've been exemply tonight"

 

[HahnPremium]

Carey is still the King. Has that midas touch even in commentary.
Wayne-'" Its easy for us to sit up here and commentate from our ivory boxes"
LOL.
Long live the King.

Not a breath of fresh air in that box.

Carey may have adapted to the riff raff of the Channel 7 Footy team but that wasnt what he said even if it was a simple question

From the bloke who introduces himself to women by saying "Who wants to * the duck?"...yes, he is the king

My kingdom come. Is that better Shakespeare?

Nathan Brown: "we span the wheel"

We can add Terry Wallace and Sam Edmund to the "one foul swoop" club

hudson - det tour (not detour)

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Huddo this morning said players were given 'free range' instead of 'free rein'.
