Don't mess with Liz Rymill she is a hot shot of a shotgun! Liz is a mother, Journalist, great community person and a very successful skeet shooter. By the end of this episode the reason for Liz's success in life will be of no surprise. The passion around the mental side of her discipline is a great listen.

No Prof today but I am sure he will be back next week.

I am not built for long distance running! Tristan Green is. Even with this in mind to take on a challenge of an 100km trail run is a mean feat in itself let along doing it. The idea that this style of running is 90% between the ears can be extruded into our day to day lives.

Colin McKenna died on Sunday after a short illness. Col has had a huge impact on the meat industry and the people in it. There are a lot of people in and out of the meat industry that Col had an impact on and would be feeling his loss, to these people and of course Col's family I send my condolences to them. The Prof had his words about Col and then opined on Col's other great love the spring carnival.

Oopy MacGillivray along with her partner Dan are racehorse trainers from South Australia, and they have a Melbourne Cup runner. We really enjoyed every part this chat, from Oopy's younger days where the love of horses started all the way through to the excitement of having a Melbourne Cup runner.

The Prof opined for the last time on the 2024 AFL season. It's on with the trading period, which it seems no one can get their heads around!

Today T.C had a great mate come on and chew the fat. Hamish "Hammer" McKenzie. Hammer hails from the Echuca region of Victoria Australia. From a rebel kid to a talented cattle buyer to adventure traveler Hammer has done a lot and from it all he has a few yarns to tell.

Jack Brisco has had a go at almost everything in the ag space, but his real passion lies in dog training and livestock handling. T.C and Jack had a great chat about livestock handling and the industry that's so close to both. If you're looking for a good working dog, get in touch with Jack (see below) at Futura Kelpies via Facebook.

The Prof was impressed with Geelong's performance on Thursday night but nowhere near as disappointed as he was with the effort of Port Adelaide

T.C and Shottie had a great chat with Roger House from Kojonup in Western Australia. Beleive it or not Roger was still playing Aussie rules football at 62 and then running for the senior team. What an effort. Rogers positive outlook to different issues in agriculture is a credit to him. T.C and Shot both came away "looking through the windscreen and not the review mirror".

The Prof put his thoughts across about the AFL All Australian team announced this week. Fair to say he thought there was a few lucky players and a few unlucky.

The Noonkanbah Blues are playing for a spot in the Grand Final!! We got the scope from Rick Kennedy who is now a regular on Chewing The Fat. Rick got us up to date on life in remote Western Australia and what football means to the people of Noonkanbah.

The Prof spoke today about 2 great champions, the great horse Black Caviar and the sensational Dusty Martin.

Today, T.C had a fan boy moment. Tom Curtain joined T.C and Shottie and he was fantastic. Tom (also known as T.C) is a horse trainer, dog trainer, brilliant country musician, entertainer and overall great bloke. Tom doesn't just train animals he has integrated animal training and music into a fantastic show. He performs at his home base at the Katherine outback experience in the Northern Territory. Then in the wet season he travels and puts the show on the road. If you are not keen to get to one of his shows after this then I can't help you! Jump on to Tom's website (see below) and see where your closest show is. Great show, Great music and best of all a great bloke.

Fair to say the prof was very impressed with Australia's effort at the Paris Olympics. The story of Saya Sakakibara and her Gold medal in the sport of BMX really took his fancy.
