Comedian, lover of country footy and legend Tom Siegert joins us for a yarn. To kick it off, Tom tells us about his recent 7 week comedy stint and breaks down his act of "The Suburban Footballer" and how his love for country footy, the culture and having a laugh created the act. We cover a couple of wild stints this bloke has had in his life, including being an exchange student in Canada and having fun with magic mushrooms, his footy career, Mad Monday callouts and family life during peak wheezer in Victoria. We wrap up with the story behind his podcast, his plans for the future and finally the guest questions with some ripper answers. This legend is having a crack and doing what he loves, which is what we are all about. Enjoy trendsetters!
