#84 'Good For Footy' Special

This week is a little bit different, this week is purely dedicated to something close to our hearts: Community sports. First up, BT and Harrison are joined by Brian's youngest son, Jesse and friend of the show 'Rocky'. They discuss a few topics making headlines in our world before going through some of their favourite memories surrounding local footy; from participation to spectating, touching on how important these clubs are for the community, how its shaped them and what they love about it. Next, BT and Harrison are joined by CEO of the Riddell District Football & Netball League, Jordan Doyle. This is a conversation that covers all things local footy and netball; the influence it has on the community, the health of regional / metro leagues, the challenges that teams and leagues face, the importance of volunteers and much more. We thanks Jordan for his time.

#83 Heath Shaw - AFL Cult Hero

This week Brian and Harrison kick things off with some of the usual chit-chat, they discuss; BT's mid-season getaway to Port Douglas, they review Jay-Z's top 50 AFL players, Tom Lynch's suspension, the SCG surface and plenty more. Joining the boys this week is former AFL player, Heath Shaw. Heater as he's known, is an iconic character of our game, always at the centre of a good time but as hard working as they come. He grew up in a famous Collingwood family, so it was inevitable that he would land at the Pies, the club where he played in the 2010 premiership. Later in his career, he moved to GWS, where he amassed 2x All-Australian's and retired after 325 memorable games. Infamous for some of his off-field antics, he was an active member of Collingwood's 'Rat Pack', a group of players that expressed their colourful personalities with great pride, in an era of football where unique characters were few and far between. In the 2010 Grand Final replay, Heath performed an act that is etched in footy folklore, an act of pure desperation, an act that changed the game and the course of history, we're talking about a 'Smother like no other', a smother that has made him a legend. So legendary in fact, that Toyota has honoured it by dubbing it their latest 'Legendary Moment'.

#82 Cadel Evans - Australia's Greatest & Most Decorated Cyclist

This week Brian and Harrison kick things off with some of the usual chit-chat, they discuss; 'Chocco' (survey comp. winner) coming to pick up sticks in Lorne, the AFLs sale of Waverley Park, AFL State of Origin (again), the NBA Finals, Tour de France predictions, '⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CHAT-BT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠' and plenty more. Joining them on the mic this week is Australia's greatest and most decorated cyclist of all-time, Cadel Evans. Simply put, Cadel epitomises the unrelenting Aussie grit and grind character that so many world class Australian athletes are known for. His path to success was met with countless obstacles and setbacks, but through extreme determination, attention to the details and immense self-belief, he 'climbed the mountain', so to speak on countless occasions. His 20 year career on the bike (both Mountain and Road) is something to behold, from the youngest winner of a MTB World Cup race to the oldest post-war winner of the Tour de France (1 of 3 non-Europeans), he's filled his trophy cabinet: UCI World Race Champion, 4x Olympian, 2x World MTB Champ., 2x Tour de France Runner-Up and I can go on, but above all else, Cadel has an immense level of respect and admiration from his peers and is a true Australian treasure. He was counted out and overlooked on numerous occasions and competed in one of cycling's darkest periods, but he always stayed his course and remained a man of extreme integrity and commendable willpower. We loved this chat with Cadel and we hope you do as well!

#79 Derek Hine - AFL Recruiting Guru

This week Brian and Harrison kick things off by chatting about Brian’s recent arm surgery and how little care and sympathy he’s been receiving from his nearest and dearest. The surgery reignited his love of anesthetics and having a nurse to hail at any moment. They also discuss a few footy topics and have a round of '⁠⁠⁠CHAT-BT⁠⁠⁠'. Joining them on the mic this week is Derek Hine. Derek is one of the most highly respected recruiters in the AFL, contributing to Collingwood Football Club’s impressive list for the past 21 years, culminating in two premierships and several grand final appearances. He is now at the helm of the Tasmanian Devils where he hopes to do the same 👀 We thank Derek for his time.

#78 Jacqui Felgate - Radio Presenter & Unofficial 'Queen of Melbourne'

This week Brian and Harrison kick things of with some footy chat, they cover; State of Origin footy, the Front Bars 'Team of Tradies; (which BT features in), plus, '⁠CHAT-BT⁠'. Next, the boys are joined by radio presenter and the unofficial 'Queen of Melbourne', Jacqui Felgate. A journalist by trade, Jacqui has been providing Melburnians with the news as it unfolds, and we have come to love her unfiltered and authentic approach to sharing stories. Across her career, she has been extremely successful in conveying her information across an array of mediums, including print with the Herald Sun, on the TV news desk with Seven and Nine, and more, recently on radio with 3AW as the host of their weekday afternoon/drive program, 'Drive with Jacqui'. She has also become an integral source of information for the city of Melbourne across social media, where, as the kids would say, her Instagram account 'pops off'. BT and Jacqui met and grew a friendship when Jacqui was working as a host and presenter for Seven's AFL coverage, she is a very caring, humble, 'no non-sense' operator and we absolutely loved chatting with her. We hope you enjoy.

#77 Jonathan Brown - AFL Legend

This week Brian and Harrison kick things off by paying tribute to both Adam Selwood and Robert Walls, the death of both have rocked the AFL community - we send our deepest condolences to their families. They also touch on; BT's movement over Sir Doug Nichols Round, Andrew Bogut entering the International Basketball Hall of Fame and finally, they introduce 'CHAT-BT'. Next, the boys are joined by Jonathan Brown. Browny is an Australian rules football legend, beloved media personality and one of the most celebrated players in the game, he's a 3x Premiership player, 2x All-Australian, 3x Brisbane B&F, Coleman medalist, Brisbane captain and a member of the AFL Hall of Fame. Put simply, this man is one of the greats, not just as an athlete but he's also one of the most-liked people in the industry, a guy that everyone wants to have a beer with, and if you're lucky enough to experience it, it's something you'd never forget. As a player he was ferociously competitive, brave and as hard-working as they come, he was always the loyal team man, valuing group achievements over the many individual accolades he received. Along with his great on-field achievements, he has also paved a prominent role within the AFL media; he's a key member of the Fox Footy commentary team as well as on the weekly program 'On the Couch', along with his successful podcast 'Browny's Podcast' with Campbell Brown. He also spent several years co-hosting NOVA 100's Melbourne breakfast show. We hope you enjoy!

BT very soft interview with Caro no mention of losing Awards due to lying no defence of Sam against Caros slagging. Obviously the interview was set up by Channel PR Same as Front Bar this week. Robert Tucker .
Great for distracting my partner

My partner Shane-o does not stop talking about this podcast. It’s great but he’s more interested in the show than me. It drives me nuts. I can’t say a word when it’s on. And it’s on every time I’m in his car. Can you please take him to Lorne to pick up sticks to give me a break?
