This week Brian and Harrison kick things off with some general chatter; BT walks us through a couple of the projects he has going on at home, he shares a kidney stone story (which combines with a story of poor parenting) and Brian also shares 'the hardest thing he has ever done'.

Next, the boys are joined by Australian Rules football legend and one of the most celebrated players in the game, Simon Black. 3x AFL Premierships, a Brownlow, a Norm Smith and countless other 'trinkets', there's next to nothing he hasn't done in the game. Put simply, this man of one of the greats, not just as an athlete but more so as a a man. He's humble, hardworking and was gifted with incredible skill. Always the loyal team man, he valued group achievements over the many individual accolades he received. Simon is a client of NC Management (Harrison's work), so the boys know Simon well and were able to squeeze some of the best juice out of this conversation. Hope you enjoy!
