Along the way, BT and Sheeds revisit some of football’s great characters, the lessons of leadership and whether there’s anything he would have done differently.

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.

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.

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.
