  • Still the best breakfast in Melbourne

    Interesting guests, topics, rumour file, sports and humour from Ross and Russel. I gave the new 774 breakfast show a go (Bob Murphy and Charnelle Vella) but came quickly back to 3AW.

  • Irritating Russel

    He seems to be unable to ask a question without starting with the word ‘So’ ! Boring 🤢

  • Listen daily

    Bit too sport focused. Endless discussion and constant random references to AFL footy players and teams that are totally meaningless to most who don’t follow sport.

    Ross has a habit of cutting off interesting guests to offer up his own mediocre anecdote that we’ve all heard a thousand times before. Maybe don’t invite them on if you are not going to listen to them.
