A Triple M radio host has been criticised for describing the recent viral dance performance from the Australian men’s netball team as ’embarrassing’ and ‘disgusting’.

The Australian men’s netball team stunned viewers a week ago with the side’s pre-tournament dance performance on the opening day of the Fast5 series in Christchurch.

The national team, known as the Kelpies, got the crowd on their feet before their first match with their dance routine to NSync’s Bye Bye Bye.

The controversial routine has since gone viral, notching up millions of views online with fans divided over if they like it or not.

One person who wasn’t impressed was Triple M host Ben Dobbin, who didn’t hold back on Brisbane drivetime show The Rush Hour last week.

‘I understand if you’re from New Zealand and you do the haka,’ Dobbin said

‘I don’t understand if you’re Australian and whoever gave you the name the Kelpies …’

Co-host Leisel Jones butted in: ‘It’s brilliantly, ironically Australian.’

‘Well I’m sorry, playing men’s netball isn’t iconically Australian,’ Dobbin said.

‘I’m being honest here. I’m appalled by this. These blokes, seriously, take a look at yourselves.

‘Male netball does not have a place for Backstreet Boys.’

Co-host Liam Flanagan interjected: ‘To be clear, this is Triple M, not 4BC. What are you upset about? Men playing netball, or the dancing?’

Dobbin replied: ‘Both. I’m more upset about the dancing. You’re representing our country and you’ve got Backstreet Boys doing this sort of hip hop dance before you go to represent our country.

‘I’m sorry. It’s a gimmick. They made the headlines but for all the wrong reasons.’

The Kelpies went on to win the entire tournament, beating New Zealand 32-30 in the final

Jones chimed in: ‘Should the Kelpies have gone to the Olympics instead of Raygun?’

Dobbin wasn’t finished: ‘They’re of the same ilk. These blokes, they should be ashamed. And I mean that genuinely.’

Flanagan said to Dobbin: ‘So, did you have a problem that the women did it? Every team was directed by the tournament organisers to perform before their first game of the tournament.’

Dobbin replied: ‘Well, they’re not sheep, they don’t have to do that.’

Flangan asked: ‘Don’t you think it would be poor form if the tournament is like, ‘Hey, this is like T20 cricket, we’re trying to build a fast-paced, exciting atmosphere’. The crowd lost their marbles over that.’

Dobbin said: ‘Dance to Horses or Working Class Man, not the Backstreet Boys. I’m sorry, I’m sorry, this is disgusting. Mate, it’s embarrassing.

‘Daryl [Braithwaite] does it at every Cox Plate, there’s no dramas with that.’

Dobbin has since been criticised for his remarks on social media.

‘Imagine being angry at people dancing and enjoying themselves,’ replied one social media user.

‘Oh no, young men are enjoying themselves,’ posted another.

‘Dancing is part of the tournament, you absolute pelican,’ commented a third.

A fourth posted: ‘Sounds like this is disrupting someone’s long held beliefs of what it is to be a man. Grow up.’

The Kelpies went on to win the whole tournament by beating New Zealand 32-30.

‘You’ve gone quiet’… Paddy Pimblett calls radio station to confront presenter trash-talking his favorite soccer team

A trash-talking radio host was shocked when Paddy Pimblett called to confront him on Tuesday evening.

‘The Baddy’ is known to MMA fans as the blonde-haired Englishman who has defied expectations to go 6-0 in the UFC and earn his place among the lightweight top 15.

When he’s not training for a fight, Pimblett is usually doing food challenges or watching his favorite soccer team, Liverpool FC.

So, when a radio presenter began trash-talking his hometown club after their latest win, the 29-year-old got on the phone and playfully put him in his place.

Paddy Pimblett defends his team

Jason Cundy is a former professional soccer player, who notably played for one of Liverpool’s biggest rivals, Chelsea, during his career, which came to an end in the year 2000.

Since then, he’s become a popular pundit on the radio station talkSPORT, where he was voicing his grievances with Pimblett’s team after they recorded an impressive 4-0 win over German side Bayer Leverkusen.

Cundy complained about the club’s famous anthem, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’, which fans of the club sing before every game that takes place at Anfield stadium, where Pimblett hopes to headline a UFC event before his career is over.

The 54-year-old went on the take issue with Liverpool’s good form under new manager Arne Slot, who has shocked everyone by winning 14 of his first 16 games at the helm.

“They’re starting to annoy me now, they just get results,” Cundy said. “You know they’re good, but then you come away thinking 4-0? They just spanked Leverkusen 4-0?

“I think there’s probably more to come from this Liverpool side, that’s what’s worrying me.”

Cundy was talking to a Liverpool fan, who just happened to be sitting next to Pimblett. The UFC superstar snatched the phone and started giving his thoughts on the club’s good form.

“I did expect this,” he said. “Before Slot came, I said Jurgen [Klopp] was our generation’s [Bill] Shankly and Arne Slot was going to be our generation’s [Bob] Paisley. He’s going to win more than Jurgen did, and I can’t wait to be proved right.”

Cundy went quiet as Pimblett talked up his team, and it didn’t go unnoticed. The retired soccer player’s co-host pointed out that he had stopped complaining about Liverpool after being confronted by a world-class fighter

Jamie O’Hara commented: “You’ve gone a bit quiet now haven’t you!”

Cundy remained quiet until Pimblett hung up. Only then did he decide to come out of his shell with a comment that suggested he thinks Pimblett couldn’t hurt a fly, saying: “He’s all mouth and no trousers, Paddy.”

Cundy added with a laugh: “He’s not still there, is he?”

When is Paddy Pimblett’s next fight?

Unless he bumps into Cundy, it seems Pimblett will not be fighting until 2025.

Famously, he has a tough time making lightweight. Pimblett is known for ballooning in weight when he’s not in camp, so he needs extra time to ensure he makes the 156lb lightweight limit safely.

With the year almost over, the popular Englishman doesn’t feel confident he could make weight correctly and says the only way he’ll fight before 2024 is over is if the UFC offers him a big-name welterweight opponent.

Pimblett said in October: “It’s too late now to make lightweight for the UFC events at the end of the year. I’d rather not kill myself trying to make weight – but if they want to get me Colby [Covington] or McGregor at welterweight, I’d do it.

“I’d fight either at welterweight because they aren’t massive welterweights. I don’t think many welterweights are that big compared to me. I only realized how big of a lightweight I am when I fought Bobby.”

Polish radio station replaces journalists with AI ‘presenters’

WARSAW, Poland — A Polish radio station has triggered controversy after dismissing its journalists and relaunching this week with AI-generated “presenters.”

Weeks after letting its journalists go, OFF Radio Krakow relaunched this week, with what it said was “the first experiment in Poland in which journalists … are virtual characters created by AI.”

The station in the southern city of Krakow said its three avatars are designed to reach younger listeners by speaking about cultural, art and social issues including the concerns of LGBTQ+ people.

“Is artificial intelligence more of an opportunity or a threat to media, radio and journalism? We will seek answers to this question,” the station head, Marcin Pulit, wrote in a statement.

The change got nationwide attention after Mateusz Demski, a journalist and film critic who until recently hosted a show on the station, published an open letter Tuesday protesting “the replacement of employees with artificial intelligence.”

“It is a dangerous precedent that hits us all,” he wrote, and argued it could open the way “to a world in which experienced employees associated with the media sector for years and people employed in creative industries will be replaced by machines.”

More than 15,000 signed the petition by Wednesday morning, Demski told The Associated Press. He said he has also gotten calls from hundreds of people, many of them young people who do not want to be the subject of such an experiment.

Demski worked at OFF Radio Krakow from February 2022, carrying out interviews with Ukrainians fleeing war, until August, when he was among about a dozen journalists who were let go. He said the move was especially shocking because the broadcaster is a taxpayer-supported public station.

Pulit insisted that no journalists were fired because of AI but because its listenership “was close to zero.”

On Tuesday the station broadcast an “interview” conducted by an AI-generated presenter with a voice pretending to be Wisława Szymborska, a Polish poet and winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature who died in 2012.

Krzysztof Gawkowski, the minister of digital affairs and a deputy prime minister, weighed in on Tuesday, saying he had read Demski’s story and that legislation is needed to regulate AI.

“Although I am a fan of AI development, I believe that certain boundaries are being crossed more and more,” he wrote on X. “The widespread use of AI must be done for people, not against them!”

Fatman Scoop’s eerie prediction about his own death during one of his final Australian radio interviews

An Aussie radio duo has revealed Fatman Scoop made an eerie prediction about his own death in one of his final interviews in Melbourne last year.

The American rapper passed away, aged 53, after he collapsed on stage in Hamden Town Centre Park, Connecticut on Friday and was rushed to hospital.

Now Mix94.5 FM show Pete & Kymba have released one of the hype man’s last interviews, during which he said he wanted to ‘die by my own sword’.

Radio duo Pete Curulli and Kymba Cahill dug up the interview from 2023 which saw Fatman promoting the annual R&B event Fridayz Live.

During the candid chat, he revealed he was on a quest for a healthier lifestyle as he lost weight and enjoyed bike riding down Perth’s West Coast Highway.

As the trio discussed plans to go bike riding together, Pete said: ‘Mr Scoop, I’ve got a suggestion for you. I’ve just found a tandem, a three person bike.’

‘You want the three of us to ride on a bike?’ said Fatman, real name Isaac Freeman III, to which Pete enthusiastically agreed.

However, Fatman appeared to have some trepidations, saying: ‘If the three of us ride on a bike and one of us messes up everybody’s taking a dive.’

He then made the eerie statement: ‘If I’m gonna take a dive, if I’m gonna die – I want to die on my own sword. I don’t want to die on your sword, sir.’

It comes after another Aussie radio duo, Kyle Sandilands and Jackie ‘O’ Henderson, revealed the final words of Fatman before he tragically collapsed onstage.

Speaking about the tragedy on Monday morning’s Kyle and Jackie O Show, the radio hosts played a short clip from what would be Fatman’s final performance.

The US rapper could be heard breathlessly hyping the excited crowd up with: ‘I said Hamden make some noise!’

He then shouted, ‘If you came to party,’ before taking a long pause to catch his breath.

‘Make some noise,’ he continued before collapsing on the stage.

Fatman Scoop passed away, aged 53, after suffering a medical emergency onstage in Hamden Town Centre Park, Connecticut.

Screams rang out at his final show as the legendary hype man was seen struggling after he climbed onto a platform before disappearing from view.

Medics raced to revive him, but Fatman’s tour manager finally announced his passing on Saturday, saying he was ‘lost for words’.

Freeman’s manager, DJ and producer Birch Michael, announced the rapper’s death ‘with the heaviest of hearts’ in posts to social media.

Shortly after, the artist’s family said in a statement that he was ‘not just a world class performer – he was a father, brother, uncle and a friend’.

‘Last night, the world lost a radiant soul, a beacon of light on the stage and in life,’ the family said.

‘He was the laughter in our lives, a constant source of support, unwavering strength, and courage.’

Born in New York City in 1971, Freeman made his name through collaborations with mega-stars including Missy Elliot and Mariah Carey in the early 2000s.

He was known for his deep, roaring vocal presence and his family described him as ‘the undisputed voice of the club’.

The three-time Grammy Award winner recently ventured into podcasting and reality TV, including appearing on Channel 5’s Celebrity Big Brother: UK vs USA in 2015.

The artist’s exact cause of death is not clear, however it came after he suffered the medical emergency on stage.

Authorities were dispatched to the scene at around 8:33pm and they wheeled the rapper out from venue on a stretcher as they rushed him to the hospital.
