S2E16 - 75 Years Of Heartbreak Ended: Chatting With Viral Mayo Commentator Steven Grealis
The Shepmates ShowShow Notes
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. Hosted on Acast.

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.
