It's been a running theme/joke for years on Triple M about how he is a really hard taskmaster when MC'ing functions. He doesn't tolerate anyone speaking while he is and he is really specific about what type of mic/speaker setup he needs.

I was wondering why he was back in QLD with all his media commitments being Melbourne based
Wasn’t happy with the ticket price that the club set for the function as he believes he is worth more to see him.

Sounds like the club will be Boning Brian from future functions.
As in not Kath Loughlin who also went back west sometime after the 2023 season?
Doesn't make a heap of sense though, he ends up being in Melbourne by himself for 3 nights a week rather than being together full time in Melb.
So that's how he is able to slam dunk.

Geelong took him on knowing that they can control what gets out of sleepy hollow, and will be hoping his recruitment will be more of a Paddy Dangerfield story than a Jack Steven one.

I remember when he was not long out of his playing career and before he started commentating the footy on Triple M, he used to host a basketball card show. I was listening to one episode and he was losing his shit at all the people prank calling the show and he gave them all a massive spray, saying words to the effect of, if this is the crap he has to deal with, they can stick their show.
So the next person who calls in starts by saying "Just touching on what you were saying there about the prank callers BT, I think you made some interesting points and (starts screaming incoherently for a few seconds before he's cut off)". 8-9 year old me was absolutely pissing myself.

I'm intrigued to know who was broadcasting a basketball card show in the early 90s!
Do you know anything more about it that would let me go looking for info?

I did a quick Google search and couldn't find anything about it. Hopefully someone can confirm my recollection, I don't even know what station it was on. Because I grew up in a football-loving family and even had memories of watching him in the VFA as playing coach of Prahran, I knew exactly who he was, but not sure if that was common knowledge to most listeners, he was just "BT".
NBA card collecting was a phenomenon for a few years. In Shaq's rookie year, everyone started collecting basketball cards suddenly, even kids who didn't really play basketball. It lasted for two, maybe three years until the mid-90s and then everyone stopped, just as abruptly as they'd begun. But those few years were something else: there were shops in the outer suburbs that specialised in basketball cards and everything.
