| 6/22/26 |  #129 Dennis Banks - Collingwood FC Legend | This week Brian and Harrison skip the entrée and go straight to the main… Collingwood fan favourite, Dennis Banks, and with Dennis and BT having played together at the Collingwood Football Club during the 1980s, you’d wonder whether this was setup as an interview or an excuse to catch up. The boys wind back the clock to their playing days at Victoria Park, sharing stories from an era when footy was a little rougher, a little looser, and packed with larger-than-life characters. From life inside the Collingwood Football Club to the friendships that have lasted decades, Dennis reflects on the moments and people that shaped his career. As one of the Magpies' most popular figures, Dennis also talks about what made Collingwood such a unique club and the passion of its supporters. Of course, BT can't help but revisit a few old stories, with Dennis more than happy to remind him that memory can be a selective thing. The result is plenty of laughs, some classic footy yarns, and the kind of easy banter that only comes from a friendship that's stood the test of time.

| 6/15/26 |  #128 Seb Costello - Front-line Journalist | This week Brian and Harrison skip th entrée and go straight to the main… front-line journalist, Seb Costello. This is a chat that is equal parts insightful, hilarious, and as always with Brian, fairly strange. Having known each other for years through their time together at 3AW, BT and Seb slip straight into the kind of easy banter and mutual respect that only comes from a long-standing friendship. The result is one of those conversations that feels more like mates catching up than an interview. Seb takes the boys behind the scenes of life as a journalist, sharing stories from the front line of some of Australia's biggest news events and explaining what it takes to chase stories in an increasingly fast-paced media landscape. They discuss the pressure of reporting live, the importance of trust in the industry, and the challenge of delivering news when everyone seems to have an opinion. Along the way, Seb's trademark wit is on full display. Sharp, thoughtful, and incredibly funny, he keeps BT on his toes throughout while also offering a fascinating perspective on the media industry and the world around us. There are plenty of laughs, some great radio stories, and a few moments that reveal the person behind the microphone - a generous, intelligent, and genuinely good bloke who has become one of Australia's most respected reporters.
