  • Shut the duck up

    Well done Sam for tolerating someone with the iq of a 5y/o. Duck, if you ask a question, don’t interrupt, wait for the answer. If you don’t have any interest, don’t participate in the show. Ppl tune in to hear Sam share information and his thoughts. Not your dribble.

    This program has began to become unbearable to listen to with Wayne Carey. Piss off Duck.

  • Don’t Worry…it’ll be dead soon.

    Imagine the contradiction after a ‘career’ playing kick & catch jostling/wrestling groups of adult men while all wearing short shorts and knee high socks… and still being a homophobe??
