S2E21 - Dermot Brereton's VERNACULAR, I Got Hit With Anti-Politeness & Saving a Local Cricket Club

The Shepmates Show

Show Notes

The boys are back in the studio and Melbourne is humming.. finals are here, the NFL has rolled into town and the Sunday Footy Show has apparently started listening to the pod.

Word of the Week is back, and it's got a new ambassador. Dermot Brereton had his say on the Clarko sacking and dropped six words in one take that had the boys reaching for the dictionary. Is Dermi out of touch with the common AFL punter, or are we just dumb? Miles also gets hit with "anti-politeness" in a supermarket aisle, and no one can work out what that even is.

The NFL is in Melbourne.. the 49ers have been here all week, the Rams are flying in the night before. Genius or disrespectful? The boys disagree.

Archie's Bulletin makes its return with a wildcard Aussie at the US Open, a 19 year old punter roosting it in college, a suspicious number of Bens signing contracts, a goal-line clanger from the Geelong Footy League that has to be seen frame by frame, and grave concerns for Dan after a disruption to his nightly magnesium regime.

And a new segment gets debuted by our Vice President, local cricket captain and producer Daniel Allen. His cricket club is on its knees, he's got a committee meeting this week, and the podcast is now running the pitch. Write in with your ideas.

Keep a close ear out for this weeks Word of the Week.. the department is only growing.

Back to back guests, and this week we took the show to the MCG. Sunny day, birds chirping, trucks reversing, and the bloke who draws the Grand Final poster. Mark Knight joins us in the MCG gardens. Chief editorial cartoonist at the Herald Sun, a drawing every single day, and the man behind every premiership poster since 2009.

The boys are back and the bedroom has a new chair.. because this week we have our first ever in-house guest, and we thought we'd start small. Brian Taylor joins us in the studio. One of the great voices of Australian footy, two decades on Seven and Triple M, and a bloke who owes the boys an apology after the Legends Game. He delivers it. Then he peels back the curtain on the whole thing: how it took him ten years to find his voice, the one line from his boss that gave him permission to go big, why he can tell inside five minutes whether he's on, and the call he's proudest of.
