Former AFL bad boy Warwick Capper has clapped back at broadcaster Brendan Fevola for censoring him during a live radio interview.
“I got their ratings up because they’re f---ing boring p---s,” Capper told Confidential. “Fev never kicked 100 goals in one season, he choked, I didn’t. And he choked again when he interviewed me on the radio.
“But I expected it, I knew it was live, and I made a few clever references. I’m like John Laws. I know what I’m saying.”
Fev hit the “dump” button on Capper when he appeared on the Fox FM breakfast show helmed by Fevola, Fifi Box and Byron Cooke on Wednesday.
The radio hosts were uneasy about a live Capper interview from the get-go, saying their legal team was concerned, with Cooke asking: “Will we regret this one?”
Former Swans and Bears star Capper spruiked a television commercial he recently shot with Baywatch star Pamela Anderson.
“She’s lost a few kilos,” Capper said.
“She looks good in the swimsuit, I look good in the gold shorts. We shared the same trailer … let me say there was plenty of silicon.”
Capper also revealed he’s been living in Melbourne since 2013 (in “Far Kew”) and said his daily schedule is: “I get out of bed at 9.30, go the pictures, then go and get a massage.”
Fevola then asked Capper about his friendship with troubled Hollywood star Charlie Sheen.
“There were more lines than Falls Creek,” Capper said cryptically.
Fevola responded: “Press dump,” meaning Capper’s comments were erased from the live broadcast.
Cooke chimed in: “I can never understand what (Capper) says, but Fev who speaks fluent Warwick Capper … apparently he said something offensive, and I’ve had to dump him.”
Fevola: “It’s not offensive, but it shouldn’t be on air.”
Box laughed: “Well done, Waz. We’ve scared him off.”
Seconds later, Capper resurfaced, and without missing a beat, reframed his answer about Sheen. “It was fantastic,” Capper said. “We know that.”
Capper responded to the Fevola incident while attending a celebration event for freight forwarding disrupter Verus Global at Brighton on Thursday night.
Other guests included Tigers legend turned broadcaster Matthew Richardson, Neighbours star Jodi Anasta, Collingwood player Brayden Maynard, and North Melbourne’s Marley Williams.
The company, headed up by Jackson Meyer, 23, turned over $24 million its inaugural year.
“I started the business when I was 22,” Meyer said. “When you’re that age, and approach older people, and you want them to put 10 million a year into your business, they can be somewhat sceptical of your ability to do.

“I want to shake up the industry. I’m marketing myself differently, and staying away from the stigma of an x, y, z business.”
Asked how he got footballers, actors and models to a freight company party, Meyer smiled: “I’m lucky enough to be friends with a fair few of them. They’ve supported me, and backed me, from day one.”
