This week Brian and Harrison kick things off with some of the usual chit-chat, they discuss; Brian's appearance in the MMM Saturday Rub, the fixturing around Thursday Night Football, the return of the EJ Whitten Legends Game, what can go wrong in Bali and a '⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠CHAT-BT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠' from Amsterdam.

Joining them on the mic this week is sheep farmer, Duncan Barber. Duncan is a 4th generation wool grower from Metcalfe, VIC. Along with his wife (Jess) and son (Jack), they run and own their own operation consisting of over 15,000 Merino sheep across 10,000(+) acres. It is just the 3 of them and times are tough, the Barber's along with many across rural VIC are facing one of the harshest droughts on record. This conversation covers all things farming; the relationship with the land and livestock, the gear, the community, the conditions, the lifestyle, the business and much more. Plus, how the current drought and droughts of years gone by have effected the individuals, the community and the industry.

What stood out most in the chat is Duncan's character, he's a farmer through and through, he's a realist but he's optimistic, he's empathetic and compassionate but his will is as strong as you'll find. We thank Duncan and the many farmers across our great country who are a vital piece in the fabric of what makes Australia, Australia, they don't do it for the spoils, they don't do it for the recognition, they do it because they love it.
