We get into:🏉 His earliest memories as a North Melbourne tragic🎥 What inspired him to start filming footy videos before anyone else was doing it😅 Why he doesn’t care about views, money, or the trolls⚡ How community and “just having fun” still motivate everything he does…and plenty of classic yarns about chocolate milk, Glenn Archer, Daniel Wells, and tackling blokes twice his size.
