For the first time on the show, we're chatting with an Aussie male bobsledder, and what a story he has to tell! Cameron Scott joins us to share his incredible journey into the sport, how he found himself in the world of bobsleigh, and his dream of representing Australia at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milano-Cortina. We dive into his unique path to the ice, the current state of men's bobsleigh in Australia, and what it will take to make it to the Games. Plus, he reveals how he accidentally became a pilot instead of a brakeman and tells the wild true story of how Cool Runnings was almost about Australia, not Jamaica. It's a fascinating, fun, and inspiring conversation you won't want to miss!

We're back, sliding into another epic interview as we return to the world of bobsleigh, this time with our very first guest from the Czech Republic, David Bures! In this fascinating chat, we learn how David made the switch from rugby to the bobsleigh track, and what skills he's been able to carry over from the field to the ice. He explains his position in the sled and just how crucial his role is in making a 4-man sled fly down the track. We also chat about a certain Czech athlete we might love a little too much, and find out just how revered she is back home. Add to that some great insight into David's connection with a former guest of ours, and a dive into some unique Czech culture, and you've got one incredibly fun episode with an equally fun guest that we know you'll love!
