The Shepmates Show

We're legends!! The boys are back in the studio after living out their childhood dream at the AFL Legends Game, played in front of 2.38 million people on Channel Nine. This is the full debrief.. everything that went down Thursday night and the stories the cameras didn't catch.

The Don't Argue heard around the country gets the full retelling (it was a manifestation, and there's intel on whether Dusty knew exactly what he was doing), BT spends an entire broadcast crediting the wrong twin, Archie tells a legend he loves him mid game and can't remember which one, and the outfit that ALMOST made it onto national television gets its day in court.

Speaking of court.. the Word of the Week committee is officially under investigation. Dan brings evidence, Archie mounts a defence, and Miles sits as jury in the first ever Word of the Week Tribunal.
Plus Archie brings a special sports story from Germany that has to be heard to be believed: 167 runners, one loop every hour, no finish line, and a duel that lasted four days.

And keep a close ear out for this weeks Word of the Week.. it gets called out live this time.

Its Legends Week!! The boys are in the studio and this is the biggest week of the year.. Thursday night we run out at Marvel alongside Buddy, Cyril, Gaz Jr and Dustin Martin in the AFL Legends Game, all to raise funds for prostate cancer. We preview the whole thing: the ins and outs, best on predictions from the pregame dinner to the huddle, Operation Twin Sandwich, and Archie delivers a formal pitch to coach Kane Cornes that has to be heard to be believed.

But before all that.. Miles hates charity (context is everything), a dentist calls mid podcast, and Dan comes back from the desert with a new name. Plus Commentary Chaos is back rating the weekend's biggest calls, Dan recruits us for local cricket, and the ShepNugget returns.

And keep a close ear out for this weeks Word of the Week.. Dan reckons he snuck TWO past us and we missed both. If you caught them, message us.
Come to the game Thursday night or donate, all for a great cause.

Big week at Shepmates HQ! The boys have officially been picked for the AFL Legends Game at Marvel Stadium, the local footy chapter closes with one final serve from the Rye faithful, and somehow a marathon ends up on the line...

Then the big man arrives. Scott Hanson, the voice of NFL RedZone, joins us from his home in Los Angeles ahead of the Rams v 49ers season opener at the MCG. Seventeen seasons, 294 shows, never missed one. Scott takes us inside the machine: the five hour audition that won him the gig, what he actually does the ONE time nature won in a decade, and the day a boxing dress rehearsal served him up two identical twins.

He also reveals why the MCG game will be the biggest NFL crowd anywhere in the world this season, and exactly how he'd attack a 10:35am kickoff as a fan.

But before all that... the Legends Game squad chat gets serious, we farewell local footy the only way Rye knows how, and Australia gets Bangladesh'd while our boys were on the golf course.

Word of the week is back and this one finally gets airborne.. keep your ears on early...

75 years of heartbreak, ended in style! 🏆
This week, the boys sit down with Midwest Radio's Steven Grealis—the voice behind the viral, tear-jerking Gaelic Football commentary that took social media by storm.

Steven breaks down what it was like calling Mayo’s historic victory, breaking a 75-year curse, losing top talent like Kobe McDonald to Australia, and what happens when you hit the "nuclear button" in the commentary box!

Plus, the boys dives into some local sporting dog acts touching on the viral "Click-gate" scandal sweeping park cricket.

Just one more thing, we ran into some serious Wi-Fi battles, island fever/COVID, and technical gremlins while recording this one hence it being audio only. The sound quality is a bit rougher than our usual studio setup, but the interview was too good not to drop! Thanks for bearing with us as we promised we weren't going to miss another week. we’ll be back to regular broadcast quality next week! Cheers Mates.
