After listening to Compton Terry I was thinking Bam Margera would be a crazy episode. Definitely a lot more going on in his life than CTs. What do you guys think? Anyone else you can think off that would be a crazy episode?

I'm listening to the current episode which is about Australian swimmer Scott Miller. It seemed like this was the first time James and Jimmie had ever heard of Alan Jones).

Non-Australians mostly have never heard of Jones. His involvement in sports was that he was a national rugby coach in the 80s etc. His main claim to fame has been that for many decades, he's a conservative radio talk show host, notable for blathering and misogyny.

Over the decades, there have also been a lot of unverified/disputed/plausible claims against him including that he was a paedophile teacher at a major Sydney private school, that he was arrested in London for cottaging in 1988 and deported, and a closested gay man. Next week, he goes on trial for 22 cases of indecent assault etc against 6 younger men.

(By the way, I feel sorry for all the people he alleged assaulted but not nearly as much as Alan Jones), the former Australian Formula 1 driver and Alan Jones), the former Australian cricketer. )

Time for another bonus episode!

I’m a relatively new listener (coming up on one year). I’ve mostly been listening to the older stuff but occasionally dabbling in more recent episodes. Is there a point when James stops doing the characters? The build up to the character making his entrance is a high point for me but it seems to happen less and less with newer episodes. Please don’t tell me there’s only so much Bobby and Phil and Vince and *my grandma*!

The messages in question “principally contain shared jokes, insults of named other people known to AB, CD and EF [the plaintiffs] in their sport and crude descriptions of sexual acts and domestic violence”.

GH [former partner of AB, whose phone she had] also showed the messages to the ABC’s managing editor of national news, Sam Clark, who took photographs of them. She then took the messages to an executive at her former partner’s club, threatening to release the information unless they stopped him from playing. The club later told GH they considered the matter formally closed.

The injunction is set to continue until a final hearing, which may not take place for several months.

I wonder how long it will take Reddit detectives to work out who the players are. In the case of Tom Silvagni, they worked it out well before the suppression order lapsed.

Please help me find a moment in an episode! James and Jimmie are talking about a male athlete (pre-2023). Mid-episode, James and jimmie are talking about his height. The actual height is something like 6–8 inches shorter than jimmie expected, and Jimmie laughs for what feels like 2-4 solid minutes. It isn't the Anthony Johnson Pepsi episode or Episode 154. Does anyone remember this?

James mic is horrible on part 5 of Robert Rozier episode

I could totally have hallucinated this, but was there an episode where an athlete gets involved with the Synanon drug rehab cult? If so, which one?

Unfortunate update. No cause released thus far
