Legends with Bevo

It was a joy to recently catch up with Anabelle Smith, Olympic Bronze Medallist in the sport of Diving.  We spoke about representing her country in the Olympics and the joy of winning a Bronze Medal, how her training has been effected by Covid-19, Anabelle's journey and her thoughts on the Tokyo Olympics being postponed.

It was a huge buzz to interview one of Australia's best ever basketballer's, Chris Anstey, on Legends with Bevo.  

We spoke about The Last Dance documentary, the overall experience of playing in the NBA for the Chicago Bulls and Dallas Mavericks, what it was like representing Australia at the Olympics and Chris gave his thoughts on the Boomers medal chances at Tokyo 2021.

I was very lucky to get the chance to have a chat to Mark Furze recently on Legends with Bevo.

Furzey is a contestant on The Voice Australia and was on Home and Away from 2004 to 2008 as the character of Rick Dalby.

He tore up the stage with his performance in the Voice Blind Auditions (link below) and it was great to speak to him about his music career and what it was like performing in front of a packed house and four famous judges.

It was also interesting to hear about Mark's time on Home and Away and what it was like living in LA as well as his close friendship with Chris Hemsworth and Guy Sebastian.

Thanks so much to Furzey for his time and to Jeff Richardson for a great job of editing the video.

It was a pleasure to recently interview Professor Luigi Fontana on Legends with Bevo.  

Professor Fontana is an internationally recognised physician scientist who studies healthy longevity with a focus on calorie restriction, endurance exercise and metabolism.  

We spoke about : The book, Path to Longevity that Professor Fontana recently wrote, his thoughts on high protein/low carb diets, foods to help with anxiety during the pandemic, why eating less helps with ageing and the difference between the Australian health system and other countries.

After a long hiatus, Big Brother Australia is back on our screens and who better to preview this coming season than Adelaide’s very own larrikin and former housemate, Joel Scalzi.  The start of the video features some of Joel’s finest work and we talk about Joel’s experience in the house, embracing hair loss, what the housemates can expect this year, dealing with the limelight, how he survived 90 days in the house and my experience as a life drawing model.

For many years now, George Kapiniaris has been one of Australia’s most talented writers, comedians and star of stage, screen and film so it was a joy to interview him recently for Legends with Bevo.

Plus we reminisce about his incredible career so far.

In a first for Legends with Bevo, I interviewed new Norwood boom recruit and former Adelaide Crows star, Richie Douglas in his Mazda CX5 courtesy of Paradise Mazda.  I didn’t have any success in getting Dougie to sing, however we had a lot of fun talking about his career and life outside of footy.  

Dougie shared a classic story of a prank they played on former skipper, Taylor ‘Tex’ Walker, his funniest team mates at the club, his involvement with the Simon Black Academy, why he chose Norwood over other SANFL clubs, that Showdown rivalry and three famous celebrities he’d love to have dinner with.

With the AFL just starting up last week, who better to talk about the restart with than two larrikins and sports nuts, Mitch Cleary and Cam Luke.   

Mitch is doing great things as a Journalist at afl.com.au and Cam can be seen on the Armchair Experts on Channel Seven with Adam Cooney and has his own podcast called the Cam Luke Podcast.  

The boys know each other well so there is some seriously great banter as we discuss a number of different topics including : Cam's podcast that Mitch was a guest on recently, what they can do to allow crowds into the AFL this year, the confusing social distancing rules and the boys thoughts on the Grand Final likely to be played at night this year.

Mark Lizotte aka Diesel has been a legend of the Australian music industry for a long time now and I really enjoyed chatting to the great man on Legends with Bevo.

We spoke about his amazing music career, his new album that's out in August, how working at a service station inspired his music, relationship with Jimmy Barnes and he even played a few verses from his hit song, Cry in Shame and trust me you don't want to miss hearing this!

In a very entertaining chat I caught up with Seb Guilhaus, a real genuine nice bloke and star of this year's Married at First Sight Australia (MAFS) on Channel 9.

Seb played 48 league games with Central Districts, Glenelg and the Eagles in the SANFL and he also played 30 games in the NTFL.

We also spoke about Seb's great new business, SG Wellness, his footy journey, the controversial 19th man incident and the time that Seb acted out a scene from the movie Old School in front of fans.
