"Nobody wins": Sam Newman provides update after explosive outburst
The future of Sam Newman's podcast is in jeopardy after his co-host Don Scott has officially quit the program.
The shock exit comes after Newman launched into an expletive-ridden tirade at Scott last week in a now deleted segment of the podcast, which ended with Newman telling Scott to "f**k off" as he left the building.
Now, Scott has returned to the You Cannot Be Serious podcast, but only to confirm he isn't coming back.
“You do whatever you want to do … (but) what is the point of trying to have a discussion with somebody who is going off their brain?” Scott asked.
“You do not talk to anybody no matter whether it is on-air or wherever in life when they are not rational, so you walk away."
“I’m not getting into this … This is like a domestic and nobody wins in a domestic."
“You can put your view as much as you like and I am not here to defend or whatever else."
“Everybody has a different personality. I am not in to conflict.”
Newman, who refused to believe he overreacted during the argument, asked, “Can we finally say that you’re not going to do the podcast anymore? Is that what’s going to happen?”
Scott replied, “That’s fine at the moment, no.”
Newman doubled down, saying, “This is history … This is breaking news. Don has now left the building, as Elvis has, and he’s not going to do the podcast anymore."
“This is another show of disgraceful behaviour from someone who is acting like a child … it’s beyond belief.”
Later on social media, Newman said that if Scott wasn't taking part in the podcast anymore, he wasn't sure how long they would continue with the show.
“Won’t do it without Don, and even if he reconsiders, it will not be the same. So …”
He finished the video by leaving the future of the podcast up the air, saying “You Cannot Be Serious, I don’t know if we’ll be on again but who cares.”
Speaking to the Herald Sun after the podcast dropped, Newman labelled Scott’s exit a “pathetic act of treachery”.
“I am a friend of Don’s, yes, nice to know who you are dealing with though, someone who won’t stand up and face the music if you have a disagreement, not sure how that works,” he said.
“Walking away from something shows a complete disregard for any relationship you have had in the past.
“That is just a pathetic act of treachery.”
