The Producer's Point - Jimmy Szabo with Shane McInnes - Fri 02 Oct, 2026

Now on 3AW Drive

Damn it, who put the question mark on the teleprompter?

The Producers' Point.

Jimmy Szabo is here for his regular Friday segment. Hello, my friend.

Hello, sir. What a show you've had.

Been a, it's been a-

It's been huge

... very busy afternoon.

Well done. Well done to you. It's about to get worse.

The presenter is only as good as his producers.

Damn right. Nah, you've done a really good job.

That's what the screen told me to say.

Yeah, that's right. I-

What do you got?

Well, I was, I was wondering about things that people... Well, things that people love that you're not interested in at all. Because all week, obviously, there is this talk about the NF- NRL Grand Final on the weekend, and I'm just, I'm not interested at all. I don't, look-

You can't get up for it?

Nah. If the Storm is in it-

Yeah

... yes, I will, and I used to be. But when you become, or when you've got kids, you've gotta pick your interests, I think. You've gotta-

So you, so you're not up for the-

I, I-

... the Rabbitohs and the Knights?

I'm really not.

[laughs]

Are you?

Uh.

You're a sport muffy, so.

I, I, I watch it from an event-

Yeah

... point of view.

I'll tune in, but I don't really-

But I wouldn't be watch-

No

... I'd be getting up and doing things, and I'm not watching it religiously like I am the AFL Grand Final-

Yeah

... where I'm seeing every kick, handball-

Yeah

... and bump.

Nah. But, but, nah, I can't get excited for it. But it, it made me think of other things that people get excited for that I just don't care about. Like-

So 1, 1-33-693, what are things that other people love, they get excited for, they're all into, and you just couldn't give a stuff? 1-33-693. Want your nominations. A few packs of Dubawlie to give away as well. Other people love, you don't.

You, you, you give me one. Have you got one?

MAFS.

MAFS.

MAFS.

Oh, yeah, same.

Couldn't care less.

No, me neither.

Everyone, "Oh, did you see MAFS last night?"

No.

"Oh, did you see who, who she ended up with? See, see who he kissed?" Couldn't care less.

No, I'm not big on... Are you on any reality TV show, though?

Nah, not at the moment.

Nah.

Nothing.

I'm the same.

No.

My wife loves it.

No.

Loves MAFS, uh, Housewives, all that stuff.

Yeah.

She talks a lot about celebrity gossip as well. Catherine loves it. I ca- I just don't, it doesn't interest me in the slightest.

I know. Farmer Wants a Wife goes in-

Nah

... anyone who wants a wife, needs a wife, looks like a wife.

[laughs]

Anything like that, I don't care less.

You're not interested. You know what? You know, this is, this is controversial maybe. Everyone loves Friends. I don't.

Oh, didn't you? See, I, I did. I liked Friends.

Did. Not anymore?

No, no. I, I'd still watch it.

You still like Friends?

I'd still watch it.

No, I'm not interested.

Uh, it, it, it's, it's not woke to like Friends because, you know, there, there was-

Oh, I just

... there was six white cast members, and-

Oh, sure

... you know, there [laughs] wasn't enough diversity.

I'm big, I'm big on Seinfeld. I love Seinfeld.

Yeah, I love Seinfeld.

Seinfeld's good. But, no, Friends, it doesn't interest me. Also golf. Everyone's into golf these days. All my mates are taking up golf.

Yeah.

They're speaking about their swing, the different clubs. And they... I
