Show Notes
Big week at Shepmates HQ! The boys have officially been picked for the AFL Legends Game at Marvel Stadium, the local footy chapter closes with one final serve from the Rye faithful, and somehow a marathon ends up on the line...
Then the big man arrives. Scott Hanson, the voice of NFL RedZone, joins us from his home in Los Angeles ahead of the Rams v 49ers season opener at the MCG. Seventeen seasons, 294 shows, never missed one. Scott takes us inside the machine: the five hour audition that won him the gig, what he actually does the ONE time nature won in a decade, and the day a boxing dress rehearsal served him up two identical twins.
He also reveals why the MCG game will be the biggest NFL crowd anywhere in the world this season, and exactly how he'd attack a 10:35am kickoff as a fan.
But before all that... the Legends Game squad chat gets serious, we farewell local footy the only way Rye knows how, and Australia gets Bangladesh'd while our boys were on the golf course.
Word of the week is back and this one finally gets airborne.. keep your ears on early...

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.
