06/06/2015 Spud's Me Me Me Arrrghticle

Описание: This Saturday Rub clip features Jim, Garry, Spud and Damo discussing an extraordinary article in today’s paper. It was written by Greg Baum and titled, For Bitter or Worse, about Spud and what it was like playing in a struggling team. Damo kicks it off and Spud warns him that he better be careful because he doesn’t mind when Garry and Jim dig the nails in, but not Purple. And in one grab from the article, there’s seven “I”s in two sentences. And the only “I” that it reminds Jim of, is the only one that matters – the glass eye! It’s all about me, Damo says. But then listen to Garry and Damo do a rendition of how the article came about between him and the journalist where they drop I over and over again. It cuts Spud up real rough. And he asks Hosemary if the radio broadcast is going live or if there’s enough of a delay to allow his swear words to be beeped out. She doesn’t get back to him so he’s worried he will have to resort to physicality to get his anger out. Spud asks what he’s supposed to do in that situation? Garry should understand what it’s like to be in a struggling team, too. And he blames Damo for bringing it to the table, though if Spud was actually here on time instead of at the wrong venue, he would have seen that Damo didn’t even read the article until it was brought to his attention by someone else. Doesn’t stop Spud calling him a skinny little prick, though. And worse still, and he even dropped his mate Stewart Loewe in there too! That’s enough for Spud and he has no recourse left but to scream his frustration out, finally telling Greg Baum to get stuffed for throwing him under the bus. He’s so close to chinning someone right now that he has to sit on his hands, especially when Damo tells him he might have been better off staying at Etihad today. Which reminds him to admit that he lied to the car park attendants at the ‘G today about losing his ticket so that he could get in on time. It gets too much for him now and he tells every journalist that he’s off limits for articles from now on. I don’t know how things turn, but the best comeback Spud has is to give Mick Molloy and Mark Robinson a drive-by by saying that Garry would be better off going down the ice slide first at the ‘G on Monday before the other two because they’d need to disinfect the water when they go in. If he’s going down, he’s taking everyone with him, especially Damo, who after The Rub today will be waking up looking at the ceiling. He’s clearly taken it well, the Spud Regal. This is all a huge comeback from earlier in the year when Spud gave everyone else in the box some of his best work for their offseason antics. Ex-Victorian Shield cricketer Chuck Berry then texts in to say he’s crying with laughter listening to this, so Spud unleashes some of his best on him, calling him fat and saying he needs to say no at the dinner table more often, then knocking him for never getting a cap for Australia in his career. Have to admit, that’s pretty hilarious, but he’s clearly gone off the reservation today. He’s not getting much support from the Pack either, even though he thinks that the ratings dip on a Friday because he’s not there. Bounce, bounce goes the glass eye to close it.
