"Nobody wins": Sam Newman provides update after explosive outburst
<p>The future of Sam Newman's podcast is in jeopardy after his co-host Don Scott has officially quit the program. </p>
<p>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. </p>
<p>Now, Scott has returned to the You <em>Cannot Be Serious</em> podcast, but only to confirm he isn't coming back. </p>
<p>“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.</p>
<p>“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."</p>
<p>“I’m not getting into this … This is like a domestic and nobody wins in a domestic."</p>
<p>“You can put your view as much as you like and I am not here to defend or whatever else."</p>
<p>“Everybody has a different personality. I am not in to conflict.”</p>
<p>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?”</p>
<p>Scott replied, “That’s fine at the moment, no.”</p>
<p>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."</p>
<p>“This is another show of disgraceful behaviour from someone who is acting like a child … it’s beyond belief.”</p>
<p>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. </p>

<p>“Won’t do it without Don, and even if he reconsiders, it will not be the same. So …”</p>
<p>He finished the video by leaving the future of the podcast up the air, saying “<em>You Cannot Be Serious</em>, I don’t know if we’ll be on again but who cares.”</p>
<p>Speaking to the <a href="https://www.heraldsun.com.au/entertainment/fiona-byrne/sam-newman-blows-his-stack-as-don-scott-quits-their-podcast/news-story/97e08f9c1549100c36e0dfc7fe46cfab" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>Herald Sun</em></a> after the podcast dropped, Newman labelled Scott’s exit a “pathetic act of treachery”.</p>
<p>“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.</p>
<p>“Walking away from something shows a complete disregard for any relationship you have had in the past.</p>
<p>“That is just a pathetic act of treachery.”</p>
