This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the major topics in their lives and within the AFL ecosystem, including; Brian's suspicious fuel stock-piling, Harrison's home 'renovations', Nick Daicos' rumoured move to the Tassie Davils, the AFLs early Eason fixture failures, plus, plenty more.
*noting that this podcast was recorded before the announcement of the AFL Grand Final start time and the breaking news around Dezi Freeman's death.
This week on Life of Brian, BT and Harrison have the pleasure of chatting with AFL cult hero and Hawthorn legend Robert “Dipper” DiPierdomenico... and it’s every bit as entertaining as you’d expect.
Never one to hold back, Dipper dives into his footy journey, from premiership glory in the brown and gold to becoming one of the game’s most recognisable (and fearless) characters. BT and Dipper share plenty of laughs revisiting old stories, big hits, and the moments that defined an era of tough, uncompromising footy.
They also get into what life after footy has looked like for Dipper, his media career, and his take on how the modern game compares the one that he played in.
Unfiltered, hilarious, and packed with classic footy stories - Dipper at his absolute best.
We hope you enjoy the conversation.

This week Brian and Harrison intro the show with the general banter, they cover; attending STIHL's 100 year anniversary celebration (meeting Dr Stihl himself!), Brian does the grocery shopping for the first time in 5 years and steals a trolly, plus all the major topics making AFL headlines.
This week on Life of Brian, BT and Harrison have the pleasure of chatting with former world champion martial artist, Sam Greco.
With a career spanning 35 years Sam had an astonishing record of 147 fights - 131 wins - 11 loses - 3 draws - 2 no contest. This reflects the numerous disciplines he competed in: K1 Kickboxing, Full Contact Karate and MMA. He was a 3x World Kickboxing Champion and a World Full Contact Karatê Champion.
Sam grew up in Melbourne’s inner-North. To escape the dangers of this rough environment, he found balance, discipline and purpose in the gym. With an unmatched mental fortitude and an imposing 6’3" muscle bound frame, he could knock out opponents with sheer brute force. From his rise through the fight game to becoming one of world's most respected combat sports figures, Sam opens up on the highs, the setbacks, and what it really takes to make it at the elite level. They also dive into the current state of UFC and MMA, Sam’s role coaching the next generation, and what’s changed in the fight game over the years.
BT and Sam also rewind to where their friendship began - over coffees at Sam’s iconic café, Don Camillo’s.
Raw, honest, and full of energy - this is one you don’t want to miss.
We hope you enjoy the conversation.

Now almost 13 years later, he is a father of 3 and has an attitude towards life that is truly admirable. He is an inspiring example of what it means not to use a disability as a barrier to live the best life you can.
