Andrew Menczel has responded after his heated on-air clash with Stuart MacGill went viral. The podcaster said the former Australian spinner's behaviour crossed the line and felt like an attempt to bully him.
Podcaster Andrew “Menners” Menczel has opened up about his heated on-air clash with former Australia leg-spinner Stuart MacGill on the Cricket Unfiltered podcast, saying the incident crossed a line. Menczel said the exchange felt like an attempt to bully him during the recording.
The confrontation unfolded during a discussion about the treatment of David Warner’s wife Candice during Australia’s 2018 tour of South Africa. In reply after the episode went viral, Menczel addressed the incident and detailed what happened once the microphones were switched off.
“Show ends and then he goes off some more. Yells at me, calls me the ‘C’ word. Storm out the door and I just say I’m going to release the episode,” Menczel said.
“There’s no way I’m going to sit on this apart from the fact that he was yelling at me to release the episode. And you think the way he was carrying on, he’d be begging me not to release it.”
Menczel also revealed that MacGill wanted a specific part of the discussion removed from the podcast.
“Then he was saying for me to bleep out Sonny Bill Williams’ name because no one can hear the ex-footballer’s name. What an absolute muppet he is.
