Their guests this week are Miles & Archie Shepherd - the identical twins behind ‘Shepmates', who’ve turned bedroom content, local footy and a love of sport into a genuine sports and media platform. The boys chat about where their passion for content creation started, the moment their Mitchell Starc Ashes clip went viral, and why their comedy skits and sports commentary re-enactments have connected with so many people. They also get into how much work actually goes into making the clips, the number of takes, and where they reckon Shepmates can go from here. Then there’s the fairytale of how two local footballers somehow ended up on the same field as Dustin Martin, Lance Franklin and Gary Ablett Jr in the 2026 AFL Legends Game. The boys talk about what it was like sharing a huddle with some of the biggest names in the game, BT getting names wrong from the commentary box, the infamous Dusty and Miles stoush, and what happened once the game was over. There’s plenty more on growing up as twins, playing local footy, the people who’ve helped them along the way, their thoughts on the future of content, and plenty more.

This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including; BT’s backyard fire incident, AFL finals updates, build up to the NFL in Melbourne, and plenty more. Their guest this week is Collingwood great Leon Davis. Leon was one of the most naturally gifted small forwards of his generation, playing 225 AFL games, earning 2x All-Australian selections and producing many magical moments around goal. The boys look back on his career at Collingwood, the highs and lows of the 2010 and 2011 seasons, playing in front of huge MCG crowds, and what it was like being part of one of the competition's biggest clubs. Leon also opens up about his journey as a proud Noongar man, the importance of culture, family, community and connection, and the challenges he faced as a young Indigenous player arriving at Collingwood. He reflects on the people who helped him through difficult periods and the importance of Indigenous players supporting one another inside AFL clubs. Leon and his family, along with other First Nations players, spent plenty of time at Brian's farm, including hunting trips that became part of the unique bond they built away from the club. The boys also chat about Leon's transition after football, his role in Cultural Development at Collingwood, his thoughts on the modern game and the opportunities available to Indigenous players today. A really warm and honest conversation between two old mates, with plenty of footy, plenty of laughs and some great insight into Leon's life on and off the field.

They cover; Legends Game Finals preview / Wildcard review The media's coverage of Richmond's end of season celebration All-Australian awards AFL player movement: Scott Pendlebury, Zac Butters, Toby Green, And, is this the worst PR period in recent memory for the AFL? Finally, the boys are joined by friend of the show and Nelson Alexander Real Estate Partner, Charlie Barham, for an update on the Melbourne property market.

This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including; BT's current home project, Sydney Swans in turmoil, Robert Erwin's Logies performance, Legends Game preview, Rocky and CHAT-BT⁠ are back, and plenty more. Their guest this week is Essendon Football Club legend and one of the greatest full-forwards of all-time, Matthew Lloyd. With 270 AFL games, 926 goals, 3x Coleman Medals, 5x All-Australian selections and a captaincy at Essendon, Lloydy knows plenty about kicking goals. From his famously meticulous goal-kicking routine to the perfectionism that drove him to constantly refine his craft, there’s plenty of insight into what made him such a dangerous forward. The conversation goes well beyond football too, as Lloydy opens up about his transition out of the game, the challenge of finding his feet in the media, and what it’s like going from being scrutinised as a player to scrutinising players himself. The boys probe Lloydy on what life was like at Essendon during his time, including; what Kevin Sheedy and James Hird were really like behind closed doors, the pressure that comes with being a young footballer, and, separately, some of the lessons Lloydy has picked up coaching at young men (Haileybury College head coach). A fascinating chat with one of footy’s great characters.

This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including; the Geelong concussion situation, the AFL coach merry-go-round, the culture storm surrounding the WNBA, and plenty more. Their guest this week is one of Australia’s most versatile sports commentators, Jack Heverin. Jack has built a career across just about every corner of sport, calling everything from AFL and cricket to the NBL, international basketball and major sporting events. Unlike many commentators who come through the playing ranks, Jack’s journey started in community radio, producing and journalism, and he’s worked his way up to become one of the most respected play-by-play voices in the country. The boys chat about Jack’s journey from Langwarren on the Mornington Peninsula to the big stage, what it takes to make it in sports media, what makes a great commentator, the difference between radio and TV, which sports are hardest to call, and where sports broadcasting is heading next. Having spent plenty of time together on MMM, the pair have some great on-air chemistry, with Jack sharing what it’s actually like working alongside BT, what happens when the microphones are off, and some of the more outrageous moments from the commentary box. Always the consummate professional, Jack is a team-player, is passionate about his line of work and is truly one of the good guys of Australian sports media. We thank Jack for his time.

Their guest this week is Collingwood premiership coach and former Brisbane Lions champion, Craig McRae. This is an all-encompassing and fascinating chat with one of the most interesting minds in the modern game, one that covers footy, leadership, culture, and life beyond the game. Craig has experienced elite football from almost every angle. A 3x premiership player with the Lions, he later worked under coaching greats including Leigh Matthews and Damien Hardwick before taking over as Collingwood coach in 2022 and leading the Pies to their famous 2023 premiership. The boys get into how Craig’s coaching philosophy has evolved, the influence of his time at Brisbane and Richmond, and why optimism, gratitude, joy and being “good humans first” sit at the core of the way he coaches. They also unpack the rituals, pillars and themes that helped shape Collingwood’s culture. They also chat about the legendary Brisbane Lions dynasty, life alongside characters like Voss, Black, Brown and Akermanis, and what it was like winning three flags in a row. The conversation also goes beyond football, with Craig talking about his background as a teacher, his passion for learning and leadership, his purpose in life, and how is finds balance in a profession that pulls you in every direction. We thank Craig for his time.

Having worked alongside some of the biggest names the sport has ever seen (Mick Doohan, Valentino Rossi & Wayne Gardener), Jeremy reflects on an extraordinary career at the very top of motorcycle racing, sharing incredible stories from the pit lane, the evolution of the sport, and what it takes to consistently perform under pressure. The conversation also explores the technical side of racing, the personalities that define the paddock, and the balance between engineering, instinct, and trust when you're chasing world championships. As always, BT finds a way to simplify the complicated, leading to plenty of laughs as Jeremy patiently explains the finer details of a sport where milliseconds and millimetres matter. Insightful, entertaining, and packed with behind-the-scenes stories from one of motorsport's greatest minds, this is a fascinating conversation with a man who helped shape MotoGP history.

The conversation goes in every direction. The boys dive into Max's passion for cycling and the Tour de France. They also get into the AFL media landscape, with Max sharing an honest player's perspective on commentators, and personalities like BT. He explains why he thinks the AFL still has work to do in embracing player personalities and what other sports are getting right.  Max reflects on his own journey too, from the setbacks early in his career to becoming one of the competition's most respected leaders. He speaks openly about resilience, leadership, gratitude and why he believes getting comfortable with 'being yourself’ is one of the best ways to grown and off the field.

Funny, self-aware, and refreshingly honest, Max is outstanding throughout, we thank him for his time.

This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including: The unfortunate footy headlines of the past week, the upcoming Glasgow Commonwealth Games, the FIFA World Cup, the Alex de Minaur secret wedding, and the LeBron James trade situation. Finally, Brian shares a crazy untold story comparable to Josh Worrell’s recent incident.  Their guest this week is Olympic gold medallist, cycling commentator, and all-round good bloke, Scott McGrory. He joins the boys for one of the most remarkable stories we've heard on the podcast. Scott's sporting journey reads like a movie script. After winning a bronze medal in the Team Pursuit at the 1988 Seoul Olympics, he endured a 12-year wait before returning to the Olympic stage. Then came the fairytale, winning gold alongside Brett Aitken in the Madison at the 2000 Sydney Olympics in front of a home crowd. But what makes the achievement even more extraordinary is what Scott was carrying with him at the time. Just three months before those Games, he and his family suffered the heartbreaking loss of his 11-month-old son, Alexander. Scott opens up about navigating unimaginable grief while continuing to pursue his Olympic dream, making for a powerful conversation about resilience, perspective, and the people who helped him through it. The boys also dive into Scott's life beyond competing, including his role as a high-performance coach, how elite cyclists are developed, and what it takes to identify and nurture future champions. As a former Australian Olympic team selector, Scott also lifts the lid on the selection process and the difficult decisions that come with choosing athletes to represent the country on the world's biggest stage. There are plenty of laughs mixed in too, with Scott's down-to-earth nature and great sense of humour shining through throughout the chat. Inspiring, insightful, and full of perspective, this is an incredible conversation with a man who has experienced the highest highs and the toughest lows, and handled both with remarkable grace.

This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including: the World Cup, the Freo vs Swans game, the passing of Derryn Hinch, BT's READING. WATCHING. LISTENING, and plenty more. Their guests are Ben and Will Hayes from Lindsay Park Racing, two of the brightest young trainers in Australian racing and custodians of one of the sport's greatest family legacies. Alongside their brother JD, Ben and Will have taken the reins of the family business built by their father, legendary trainer David Hayes, and grandfather Colin Hayes. With an astonishing 221 Group 1 victories attached to the Hayes name, racing success is part of the family DNA, but as the boys explain, that doesn't make the job any easier. BT and Harrison chat with Ben and Will about growing up around stables, horses, and some of the biggest names in racing, before diving into the realities of running a modern training operation and the pressures that come with carrying one of the most famous surnames in the industry. The conversation also covers the recent fires at their Euroa property, the resilience required to navigate challenges both on and off the track, and the unique lifestyle that comes with working in racing seven days a week. Of course, BT couldn't let Will escape without plenty of footy chat either, revisiting his AFL career and comparing the pressures of elite sport with life as a trainer. Full of great stories, family history, racing insight, and plenty of laughs, this is a fascinating look inside one of Australian sport's most successful dynasties, and two impressive young men helping write its next chapter.

Harrison is back from his overseas holiday to restore balance to the podcast and Brian's life. There is plenty to catch up on so the boys go without a guest this week. They cover; the FIFA World Cup, the Tour de France, the status of the AFL season thus far, plus, Harrison reviews his time away, which of course is limited given Brian's interest in listening.

This week Brian and Harrison skip the entrée and go straight to the main… Bill Kusznirczuk, one of Victoria’s most respected and influential town planners, and while it might not sound like your typical footy podcast guest, this turns out to be one of the most fascinating chats we've had. The founder and Managing Director of Clement-Stone Town Planners, Bill has spent more than 35 years helping shape Victoria's cities, suburbs, sporting precincts, and communities. Throughout his career, he's advised governments, councils, developers, and community groups on some of the state's most significant planning and infrastructure projects. But this conversation goes far beyond town planning. Bill reflects on his upbringing as the son of Ukrainian migrant parents, the values that shaped him, and the journey from humble beginnings to building one of the most respected planning businesses in the country. Despite his remarkable success, Bill remains incredibly humble, thoughtful, and community-minded - qualities that quickly shine through during the chat. Having known each other for many years, BT and Bill share a genuine friendship, which leads to plenty of laughs along the way. Unsurprisingly, more than once, BT tries to turn the podcast into a private consultation, with Bill doing his best to provide answers without officially submitting an invoice. Insightful, entertaining, and full of wisdom from someone who has quietly helped shape modern Victoria, this is a terrific chat with a brilliant operator and an even better bloke.
