A very reflective Dale Thomas sat down this week to catch up old times with Clokey and Jim while Vedran suns his budgy smuggler lines in QLD. Daisy's achievements are almost too long to list; he found his way from the paddocks of Drouin in rural Victoria, to owning the MCG as a universally loved character, and becoming a premiership player at Collingwood in 2010 before embarking on a successful career in media.We asked Daisy if we could go past the surface a little in this episode and his response was instant and emphatic. He was honest, and at times vulnerable reflecting on his journey, touching on his upbringing, how lucky he's been to have had certain mentors along the way, and his approach to addressing both his own mental health, and leading the charge in encouraging others to speak up and seek help.It was a bloody good yarn, we also made him call a Horseless Peruvian Jockey Race, so as usual, we went everywhere.Enjoy the episode and be sure to leave a review!

Dan Saunders(Friend of The Show): The Man Who Discovered an ATM Glitch and Spent $1.6 Million in 4 Months
In this episode, we sit down with Dan Saunders, the Australian bartender who discovered a glitch in an ATM system that allowed him to withdraw over $1.6 million in 2011. Dan (friend of the show) shares how a late-night cash withdrawal in Wangaratta led to a months-long spree of lavish spending, including some of favourites; private jets, luxury hotels, and some serious shouting of his mates. He opens up about the psychological toll of living with the secret, the moment he decided to come clean, and the legal consequences that followed-like discovering that people in prison love watching Home and Away. Now back to a quieter life, Dan reflects on the highs and lows of his extraordinary journey and what he’s learned about money, morality, and redemption. Dan is one of the most interesting and endearing people we've met, his outlook on life is infectious. Enjoy the listen and let us know what caught your ear.
