Learn another commonly used Australian word - heaps.
I'm interviewing someone who can lift heaps - a 2 times national power lifting champion. He's also my brother. We're not smart but we can lift heavy things. We'll learn some sporting slang, some descriptions for strong people, like brick shithouse. We'll also learn about stem cells and how we've both overcome serious injuries in our lives.
