S2E22 - Brian Taylor: The VOICE of Footy APOLOGISES - Legendary Calls, Craft, 80s Footy, Chainsaws & Haters. PLUS the NFL Took Over Melbourne…

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.

He also gets honest about the criticism. What his sons told him to do about the comments, the mates in the industry who've needed help, and the number one of the best in the world gave him that changed how he thinks about the haters.

And then there's the footy he played. Two jobs at once, a plumbing apprenticeship that took a 16 year old somewhere he wasn't expecting, 100 goals in a season, pre-seasons with no water, and the one thing from the 80s he'd bring back if he could. PLUS the boys get BT to rank his tools, because everything's got to be battery these days.

But before all that.. the NFL took over Melbourne. The boys tried on a Super Bowl ring, got onto the ground at the G with a drink in hand, sat next to an Essendon full forward, and watched 100,000 people throw paper planes. Should the AFL do premiership rings? The boys have thoughts, and one of them called the result last week.

Keep a close ear out for this weeks Word of the Week.. Archie's been told to try harder.
