#132 Ben & Will Hayes - Lindsay Park Racing

#132 Ben & Will Hayes - Lindsay Park Racing

This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including: the World Cup, the Freo vs Swans game, the passing of Derryn Hinch, BT's READING. WATCHING. LISTENING, and plenty more. Their guests are Ben and Will Hayes from Lindsay Park Racing, two of the brightest young trainers in Australian racing and custodians of one of the sport's greatest family legacies. Alongside their brother JD, Ben and Will have taken the reins of the family business built by their father, legendary trainer David Hayes, and grandfather Colin Hayes. With an astonishing 221 Group 1 victories attached to the Hayes name, racing success is part of the family DNA, but as the boys explain, that doesn't make the job any easier. BT and Harrison chat with Ben and Will about growing up around stables, horses, and some of the biggest names in racing, before diving into the realities of running a modern training operation and the pressures that come with carrying one of the most famous surnames in the industry. The conversation also covers the recent fires at their Euroa property, the resilience required to navigate challenges both on and off the track, and the unique lifestyle that comes with working in racing seven days a week. Of course, BT couldn't let Will escape without plenty of footy chat either, revisiting his AFL career and comparing the pressures of elite sport with life as a trainer. Full of great stories, family history, racing insight, and plenty of laughs, this is a fascinating look inside one of Australian sport's most successful dynasties, and two impressive young men helping write its next chapter.

#131 - FIFA World Cup, Tour de France, AFL Updates & Harrison Survived Guatemala

Harrison is back from his overseas holiday to restore balance to the podcast and Brian's life. There is plenty to catch up on so the boys go without a guest this week. They cover; the FIFA World Cup, the Tour de France, the status of the AFL season thus far, plus, Harrison reviews his time away, which of course is limited given Brian's interest in listening.

#130 Bill Kusznirczuk - Town Planner

This week Brian and Harrison skip the entrée and go straight to the main… Bill Kusznirczuk, one of Victoria’s most respected and influential town planners, and while it might not sound like your typical footy podcast guest, this turns out to be one of the most fascinating chats we've had. The founder and Managing Director of Clement-Stone Town Planners, Bill has spent more than 35 years helping shape Victoria's cities, suburbs, sporting precincts, and communities. Throughout his career, he's advised governments, councils, developers, and community groups on some of the state's most significant planning and infrastructure projects. But this conversation goes far beyond town planning. Bill reflects on his upbringing as the son of Ukrainian migrant parents, the values that shaped him, and the journey from humble beginnings to building one of the most respected planning businesses in the country. Despite his remarkable success, Bill remains incredibly humble, thoughtful, and community-minded - qualities that quickly shine through during the chat. Having known each other for many years, BT and Bill share a genuine friendship, which leads to plenty of laughs along the way. Unsurprisingly, more than once, BT tries to turn the podcast into a private consultation, with Bill doing his best to provide answers without officially submitting an invoice. Insightful, entertaining, and full of wisdom from someone who has quietly helped shape modern Victoria, this is a terrific chat with a brilliant operator and an even better bloke.

#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.

#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.
