From glory days on tour to how sport has changed, from larger-than-life teammates to life after the final whistle, no subject is off limits. Sometimes serious, often irreverent, always honest — it’s sport as you’ve never heard it before. Join Beefy and Bill — plus an all-star line-up of amazing guests — for stories, banter, and a fresh take on the games they love.
