This week Brian and Harrison intro the show by covering all the
major topics in their lives and within the AFL, including: The
unfortunate footy headlines of the past week, the
upcoming Glasgow Commonwealth Games, the FIFA World Cup, the
Alex de Minaur secret wedding, and the LeBron James trade
situation. Finally, Brian shares a crazy untold story
comparable to Josh Worrell’s recent incident. Their
guest this week is Olympic gold medallist, cycling commentator, and
all-round good bloke, Scott McGrory. He joins the boys
for one of the most remarkable stories we've heard on the podcast.
Scott's sporting journey reads like a movie script. After
winning a bronze medal in the Team Pursuit at the 1988 Seoul
Olympics, he endured a 12-year wait before returning to the Olympic
stage. Then came the fairytale, winning gold alongside Brett Aitken
in the Madison at the 2000 Sydney Olympics in front of a home
crowd. But what makes the achievement even more extraordinary is
what Scott was carrying with him at the time. Just three months
before those Games, he and his family suffered the heartbreaking
loss of his 11-month-old son, Alexander. Scott opens up about
navigating unimaginable grief while continuing to pursue his
Olympic dream, making for a powerful conversation about resilience,
perspective, and the people who helped him through it. The boys
also dive into Scott's life beyond competing, including his role as
a high-performance coach, how elite cyclists are developed, and
what it takes to identify and nurture future champions. As a former
Australian Olympic team selector, Scott also lifts the lid on the
selection process and the difficult decisions that come with
choosing athletes to represent the country on the world's biggest
stage. There are plenty of laughs mixed in too, with Scott's
down-to-earth nature and great sense of humour shining through
throughout the chat. Inspiring, insightful, and full of
perspective, this is an incredible conversation with a man who has
experienced the highest highs and the toughest lows, and handled
both with remarkable grace. This Episode is brought to you by:
