Within 18 months, she competed at the Olympics in 2002 (Salt Lake City) and by the Olympics in 2018 (PyeongChang) she was one of Australia’s most decorated and inspirational Winter Olympic athletes.

This week Brian and Harrison kick things off with some footy chat, where they talk through Brian's thoughts on fans touching players and question if anything has changed with the AFL media's access to players since the new rules came in. Brian then dissects the state and federal budgets as well as the Tom Brady Roast on Netflix. Later, the boys are joined by Australian Surfing Legend, Mark 'Occy' Occhilupo. Occy, aka 'The Raging Bull' was the World Surfing Champion in 1999 and spent the majority of his professional career in the top 5 of the World Surfing (ASP) rankings. A a goofy-footer, he is known for his powerful and aggressive style. Over many years he developed a deadly forehand rail game and an equally lethal backhand attack, notably, his backhand surfing has been touted by some of the industries most respected identities as the best they have ever seen. Along with his incredible talent, it is his character out of the water that has made Occy such an iconic personally, he's fun, his attitude is infectious and he's just an all-round ripping fella. Occy's life hasn't been all rainbows and sunshine though, he's battled with depression and substance abuse since his early 20s, an illness which subsequently forced him to step away from professional surfing, a decision that at first sent him on a further spiral downward. Eventually, but not without failed attempts, he, along with the help of close friends and supporters, hauled himself bout of the darkness and into a better frame of mind, ultimately, leading to a World Surfing title at the age of 33. His story is undoubtably one of the greatest comeback stories in Australian sporting history. We thank Mark for sharing his story.

Today Harrison grills BT about why he’s afraid to take Mrs T to Europe for her birthday, they touch on their big night out watching the Boomers, discuss how we can capitalize on the momentum of women’s sport in Australia and what role government funding plays within that, they pondered why AFL clubs are so secretive about minor injuries, before chatting with the voice of world cycling, Matt Keenan. Born and raised in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Matt fell in love with cycling as a young lad, he dreamed of going to the Tour de France, and after many years of hard work, methodical dedication to his craft and passion for his sport, he eventually got to the Tour, just not as a cyclist as the dreams suggested. Instead, he’s now the main man on SBSs coverage of the Tour (and many other of the world’s biggest cycling events). Separate from his work as a broadcaster, Matt is humble, charismatic, an incredible storyteller and much like the rest of Australia, he has a great love of sport.
