‘Disgraceful': Lions great Jonathan Brown claims Sam Pang ‘bribed' daughter to become a Carlton supporter
The retired Lions great appeared on Nova 96.9's Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie on Monday where talk soon turned to Sydney's 16-point win over Carlton on Friday.
Fill-in host Chrissie Swan, who previously hosted Chrissie, Sam & Browny on Nova 100 with Brown and Pang, then interjected to ask Browny if his daughter Olivia was 'still' a Carlton supporter.
'Speaking of Carlton, is your daughter still unashamedly and unbelievably a Carlton fan, given that you are a Brisbane Lions legend?,' she asked.
'What!? How did that happen?,' Wippa interjected.
'It's disgraceful isn't it but a mate of hers was a Carlton supporter, and then Pang realised when were working together on the radio,' Brown said.
'Pang realised this, so quickly he got onto it and showered her with Carlton gifts.
"(Pang) had Charlie Curnow give her a call at once stage, he had her run out for the first ever AFLW Game against Collingwood in front of 20,000 people...so I lost her forever after that.'
The update comes weeks after Channel 10 doubled down on Pang and confirmed his late night talk show Sam Pang Tonight will return to screens for a 'second' run of episodes later this year.
'Expect more laughs as Sam takes on the week's news and welcomes a bunch more guests, including local legends, engaging experts, and comedy mates playing the part of Special Guest Announcer,' the network said in a statement.
The weekly late night show premiered in March to lukewarm critical reviews but managed to pull in Ten's biggest audience for a new show since 2022.

The artwork taking flight above one of Sydney's busiest metro stations
The finished artwork, The Seeds of Flight, is open to the public. Completed in the past few months, it reflects his fascination with alternative flight methods. It also captures the dream of floating free from fossil fuels, batteries, lithium, solar panels, helium and hydrogen, which is the goal of Aerocene, the non-profit foundation he initiated. Inspired by Alexander Graham Bell's tetrahedral kite experiments, these sculptures don't just look like they can fly; earlier models have taken flight. The colours are those of the Australian bush, developed with Matt Poll, manager of Indigenous programs at the Australian Maritime Museum. Saraceno said it was an 'artwork that drifts along the rivers of the wind, suspended like stars and planets carrying constellations of life's seeds through the universe … it attempts to remind us that we are all on board this Mother Earth'. 'Together with spores, spiders, birds, eucalyptus trees, can humans also float freely, without lithium or fossil fuels? 'In the interest of the trillions of inhabitants who would like to keep journeying around the sun, might we choose orbits of solidarity over extraction?' Connecting science with art, Saraceno has brought together musicians, scientists, aerospace engineers, ballooning experts, physicists, kite makers and Indigenous elders to reimagine and reinvent our relationship with the air and the earth. Saraceno's interest in spiders resulted in major installations at Tasmania's MONA and Britain's Tate Modern, where his installation Web(s) of Life received rave reviews. As well as major exhibitions and installations, Saraceno has done an international space program at NASA's Ames Centre, studied with the Centre National d'Études Spatiales, Paris, and continues to work with the MIT Centre for Art, Science and Technology in Cambridge. Saraceno founded Arachnophilia, an interdisciplinary research community with MIT and the Max Planck Institute, and recorded the vibrations of spider webs. He then invited musicians to jam with the sounds, to unveil their hidden musicality. He also created the Spider Web Scan – a laser-supported tomographic method – to study the architecture of their webs. Aerocene has broken records for solar-powered flight. In January 2020, Aerocene Pacha piloted by Leticia Noemi Marqués set 32 records for solar-powered flights recognised by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale. An interview with Saraceno is like being carried along a jet stream. Was he an artist or a scientist? 'I am a little bit of everything,' he said. Saraceno abhors the myth of the lone genius, detests Elon Musk's Starlink with its reliance on fossil fuels, and says the only way to change the world is through collaboration. Loading Single disciplines cannot solve problems such as climate change, global warming and inequality. 'So why don't we try to weave or work together in different ways?' Seeds of Flight, developed by Investa on behalf of Oxford Properties Group and Mitsubishi Estate Asia, took more than two years to design and produce following a 13-month selection process led by curator Barbara Flynn.

‘Disappointed': Ryan ‘Fitzy' Fitzgerald called out on-air over fan interaction
A national radio star was awkwardly caught off guard on Nova's Fitzy & Wippa with Kate Ritchie today after a listener called him out live on-air. Ryan Fitzgerald, better known as Fitzy, was exposed by a listener this morning after she called up during a segment about celebrities refusing to take pictures with fans. It turns out Fitzy had previously rejected her when she politely asked if she could snap a picture with him years ago. 'Did a celebrity refuse a photo when he was talking about now being a dad and how different it is? And people come up to him all the time, and obviously they want a photo … Joanne... who said no to the photo?' quizzed Wippa. Joanne then shared her story, recalling when she had met Fitzy at a party and had decided to pluck up the courage to ask him for a picture. But sadly, the interaction didn't go quite as well as she had hoped. 'Oh well I was a fan of his for ages... this tall, handsome man, and we were at a party, and I asked him if I could have a photo, and he said, No! 'What! Who was it?' insisted Wippa, to which Joanne bluntly replied: 'Your friend, Fitzy!' Shocked that his name was mentioned, a confused Fitzy questioned whether Joanne was joking at first. 'Give me a break. I'm always accommodating Joanne, are you serious?' insisted the radio star. 'I'm serious...' she laughed. 'You were probably a bit hungover at the time as we all were...' 'This was ages ago, we were both at the same function place in Terry the party finished we were all the foyer Williams said yes to a photo with us but you made up for it in the end.' Fitzy then interjected: 'How did I make up for it? Because I'm really disappointed in myself!' Joanne insisted it was all water under the bridge in the end as she eventually ended up getting a picture with the radio star on another day. 'Because I got a photo with you both when Wippa used to have his running club at Hyde Park!' she said.
