Rugby podcasts

JB is a *** at times. I do think Tim regrets it i don't think he's a bad guy.

I like The Ruck as pretty decent.

The Offload with Tommy Bowe and Donncha O'callaghan is fast becoming a fave. Mainly URC content but very funny and more about there experiences as pro's

My only issues with the ruck are the occasional Stephen jones and that’s sponsored by adult diapers.

That seemed to stem from Ugo's rant about the abusive Exeter fan and the fact Ugo claimed no one spoke up, it turned out to not be an Exeter fan, and according to lots of eye witnesses, loads of people spoke out.

Some of them are rendered unlistenable because the sound quality is awful. I managed 10 minutes of this weeks with JB and Phil echoing around and sometimes being barely audible. After all these years JB still seems to be unaware that he needs to maintain a certain quality for people to listen.

Having lived in Colwyn Bay where he played rugby i think some of his views are very small town North Wales mentality.

As for today's pod that echo was bloody horrific

When I said quality, I was more referring to Tim always having to tell him to be closer or further from the mic, or him or his equipment making noise.

They've been at it for 10+ years, he should have some sort of awareness of production values.

Unless you are 100% sure he said those things I wouldn’t be repeating them

There's clearly two Reddit links there where you can literally hear him say those things, one is a clip from the pod the second is from a PM to a random on Instagram. Click them and read/listen for yourself and see the public's general reaction?

Yeah i don’t hear anything racist there, lots of personal and inappropriate attacks but didn’t mention race at all.

So unless you have listened to something I haven’t then I would be careful about repeating those claims.

 

[Rinkadink]

At this stage I'd have to say that's the case. JB definitely mentions the word race, verbatim;

"you mentioned black, not me. But, yeah, I'll go with it."

"I wonder what race they [women] feel safest with"

Etc.

Been listening to an episode of The Offload. Enjoying it. Will add to the regular, thanks for the recommendation.

I did not hear that on the clip you sent so sorry if I missed it but did you hear that first hand or just posting someone else saying that?

As I thought I’d remember that.

Both mate, had to check for myself after reading it in OP as it sounded wild.

That specific bit is in the clip from Insta, check the 4 minute mark. If I was at my PC I'd just clip it for you but that's the best I can do for now, sorry. He sounds agitated and out of breath, speaking quickly after ranting about asking social workers why "these people" wear black. Not long after the "f****** street trash" comment.

I only listened to the podcast clip as that is what I was wondering if I’d missed something. Cheers for the info though on where it came from makes sense now.

I used to enjoy egg chasers as the were always coming from a perspective I understood being players at a lower level and fans. I find some of the ex professionals on podcasts can come across as arrogant and like they know better just because they played (when in reality we know better as we are fans who pay for it all).

I think like a lot of things is enjoyable until people get too big and suddenly they start to develop their own arrogance on their opinions
