Life of Brian

This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including; BT looking after the grand kids down in Lorne, wet day programs in the shed, AFL trade news, Chris Fagan's retirement, a special edition of Reading.Watching.Listening⁠, and plenty more.

Their guest this week is Australian motorsport legend, Mark Skaife. With 5x Australian Touring Car/V8 Supercars Championships and 6x Bathurst 1000 victories to his name, Mark sits comfortably among the all-time greats. He takes the boys back to his early days racing motocross and go-karts, the influence of his dad, and the preparation and technical obsession that helped make him so bloody good behind the wheel.

They cover the icon that is the Bathurst 1000, behind the scenes of the Holden Racing Team, the fear and risk involved in racing at 300km/h, some of his closest calls, the ‘what if’ career moment around an international F1 career, the characters involved in racing scene and the famous Holden vs Ford rivalry.

Now a familiar voice in Australian motorsport broadcasting, Skaife talks about the transition from racing to media, his role in the future and development of the sport, and the moments he looks back on with the most pride.

A fascinating chat with one of Australian sport’s great competitors, full of Bathurst stories, racing characters and plenty of insight into what made Mark Skaife one of the best to ever do it.

This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including; BT's new shed firefighting system, Harrison's lock footy premiership, AFL Finals, AFL retirees, NFL in Melbourne, a motorsports update, is AI going kill us, a CHAT-BT, and plenty more.

Their guests this week are Miles & Archie Shepherd - the identical twins behind ‘Shepmates', who’ve turned bedroom content, local footy and a love of sport into a genuine sports and media platform.

The boys chat about where their passion for content creation started, the moment their Mitchell Starc Ashes clip went viral, and why their comedy skits and sports commentary re-enactments have connected with so many people. They also get into how much work actually goes into making the clips, the number of takes, and where they reckon Shepmates can go from here.

Then there’s the fairytale of how two local footballers somehow ended up on the same field as Dustin Martin, Lance Franklin and Gary Ablett Jr in the 2026 AFL Legends Game. The boys talk about what it was like sharing a huddle with some of the biggest names in the game, BT getting names wrong from the commentary box, the infamous Dusty and Miles stoush, and what happened once the game was over.

There’s plenty more on growing up as twins, playing local footy, the people who’ve helped them along the way, their thoughts on the future of content, and plenty more. A really fun chat with two ripping young blokes who are finding their own way into the sports media world.

This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including; BT’s backyard fire incident, AFL finals updates, build up to the NFL in Melbourne, and plenty more.

Their guest this week is Collingwood great Leon Davis. Leon was one of the most naturally gifted small forwards of his generation, playing 225 AFL games, earning 2x All-Australian selections and producing many magical moments around goal. The boys look back on his career at Collingwood, the highs and lows of the 2010 and 2011 seasons, playing in front of huge MCG crowds, and what it was like being part of one of the competition's biggest clubs.

Leon also opens up about his journey as a proud Noongar man, the importance of culture, family, community and connection, and the challenges he faced as a young Indigenous player arriving at Collingwood. He reflects on the people who helped him through difficult periods and the importance of Indigenous players supporting one another inside AFL clubs.

Leon and his family, along with other First Nations players, spent plenty of time at Brian's farm, including hunting trips that became part of the unique bond they built away from the club.

The boys also chat about Leon's transition after football, his role in Cultural Development at Collingwood, his thoughts on the modern game and the opportunities available to Indigenous players today.

A really warm and honest conversation between two old mates, with plenty of footy, plenty of laughs and some great insight into Leon's life on and off the field.
