Wow...this episode has a lot to unpack!

TJ is about to share with you his love for television and the theatre of bringing it to our screens at home. He has been there for the biggest moments of sport and news and shares some of them with you and the moments he will never forget.

From Jason McCartney's retirement that still gives him goosebumps, to friends passing away at scenes of accident, you get to hear both sides.
