Show Notes

Kicking off Episode 11 of The Shepmates Podcast, the boys are back with another big week of footy and feels.

First up, podcast licensing might need a serious overhaul, because someone’s slipped through the cracks, and it's time to revoke their mic privileges.

Then it’s anthem time, Miles and Archie break down Fox’s NFL anthem performance and size it up against the efforts from Fox Footy and the NRL. Who should they listen to next?

There’s also a tearful goodbye as they bid farewell to one of their all time favourite YouTubers, Outdoor Boys, leaving them and millions others totally lost when it comes to what to watch while eating dinner.

The boys also attempt to wrap their heads around the FA Cup, what it is, why it matters, and how it somehow involves 745 teams. From there, things get personal as Miles pens a love letter to the hamstring that betrayed him over the weekend (RIP to the season that might've been).

And finally, the boys have an honest chat about mental health and the importance of checking in, showing up, and talking it out. This ones a rollercoaster, let's get into it.

It's the Season 2 finale and it might be one of our best yet, so maybe we shouldn't have a break. Maybe we shouldn't.

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.

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.
