Sam and I both shared some of our embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions and what it was like for Sam to be nude in front of the general public for charity, his new book 'The Accidental Weatherman', the new love of Sam’s life, and Sam stitches me up beautifully when he decides to do a sing a long.

Thanks so much to Sam for his time, to Bella from Hachette Australia for arranging the chat and to Rory Noke from Podbooth for a great job of putting the video and promos together.

Lest we forget and thankyou so much to all of those inspirational people that have served/serving our country!

It was fantastic to chat with Miles Bergman this week, one of the young guns from the Port Adelaide Football Club.

His response to my question about the feeling of being drafted at no.14 in the 2019 national draft was fascinating.

We also spoke about what it was like to make his AFL debut in round one this year after being emergency seven times in 2020 and shared some great laughs about the pranksters and funny team mates at the club, being average at golf and our common dislike in doing dishes.

Thanks so much to Miles for his time, Loukas Founten for arranging the chat and Jeff Richardson for a great job of filming and editing the video.
