Relax, Giants freaks! Like Barto, we're back! The Squinters have flown this week's pod all the way back to Canberra after pathetic pre-Brexit British wifi made uploading impossible. Recorded live with London atmos, Needles, Mal Michael and special guest Squinter wannabe The Doc deliver very vague post-curry speculation about Saturday's lovely two-point three-in-a-row win over the Swans from the front stoop of the Good Samaritan pub in the East End's mean streets. Apart from Dunsy's at-the-match updates, timezones and beer-drinking made live viewing arguably impossible, so a lot of at-the-match Ashes pontification is included as a content assist. Alright guvnor, it's LONDON baby, yeah!

Deep within the political bowels of Parliament House, the Squinters take Chris Bowen through a second Question Time in Chat-Up's second episode. In another exclusive interview, and his first Giants-focused media appearance since the election, C-Bo (not C-Bomb!) paints a word picture of the orange merch in his office, his Road to Damascus conversion to AFL and GWS, what it's like to be pantsed by Harry Kewell in the street, how he'll cure* diabetes for Sam Reid and Needles as well as peeling off a pretty strong Tony Abbott-impression.

*may or may not be hyperboly.

TWO IN A ROW! Guest IX (the Squinter otherwise known as Mal Michael) makes a second appearance on the back of a second GWS Giants gut-slogging, Jezza-tackling-in-the-backline one-point big W over the 'Power without 2019 Flag Glory'. Bartman returns from the Riviera via the operating table and Growler emerges from the nursery to talk up that win and our now Giant top-four chances, sadly salute Adam Goodes, gladly salute Heath Shaw, froth over an email from Jon Patton himself* and tease our exclusive chat-up with Chris "C-Bow" Bowen dropping Thursday.

At the time just six weeks ago the only and best GWS Giants official unauthorised AFL podcast seemed like such a good idea! But the Giants Never Surrender (even if they aren't quite winning right now) and neither do the Squinters. This week Coco and Bubs go on a deep dive with Needles and foundation Squinter RoMac who brings us yet more squad freshness with a sparkling Bobby Hill debut. We throw pickles at the wall looking for reasons how the team can be losing while the players are in form, discuss the one MAMMOTH Giant issue of the week (it's exactly who you think), gird each others' loins for the Collingwood 8-pointer before Coco gives Needles a genius game-watching mechanism to trick the Universe and we play a game at the end to cheer everyone up. You're welcome.

Here they are! Ignoring frankly awful microphone distortion and the confusing loss of a key audio track 5/6ths of the way through the pod, The Squinters are launching our new GWS Giants AFL podcast spin-off with an exclusive interview. For the first time Katie and Murray talk publicly about every romance-drowned detail leading up to and away from (wink) their engagement in matching Giants fleeces. Two more Squinters Scoops (#mumford'schocolatechoices #himmelberg'snickname) are exposed as well as Muz's sordid tale of chucking in the Eagles to chase Giants glory and Katie's love. You want it, The Squinters get it.

The Squinters are chatting up Chris Bowen in a fortnight. If you have questions for him than speculate with us or at us here: [email protected].

The week Never Surrender by The Squinters was proclaimed (by The Squinters) as the GWS Giants' official unauthorised AFL fancast, ends with The Squinters grumpily booting figurative cats around proverbial loungerooms as they come to terms with a terrible microphone set-up and an even worse Giants pantsing. Long-time (Bubs and Growler) and short-time (Dunsy) Squinters become first-time opinionated podcasters with Needles as they dismiss Adam Treloar, keep Delidio, beg Coniglio, mumble moodily in shock about why our Princes of Orange wore away shorts at home (any ideas, anyone? [email protected]) and played so cod-ordinarily in an 8-point game, grudgingly acknowledge the Bears/Lions and announce the launch of our spin-off pod "The Squinters Chat-Up". Includes Dunsy's live 'at the match' reports. Big week. sad week. But there's always next week. Tell us what we want to read at [email protected].

(Happy Birthday DocK)

The Squinters take Never Surrender LIVE to the boundary line of the epic GWS Giants Magoos vs Sydney University NEAFL clash under Henson Park's Friday Night Lights. Cheeeeeeeese, first-grade and first-class debutant Lawso and special comments merchant CTrizzle join Needles to swear poetically about our surrender to the Bombers the night before, consider some very juicy Squinters scoops, announce the Squinters 'GoFundMe' campaign getting us to the USA game, get crazy/brave about Brisbane at the Beanstalk Sunday arvo, give a little teaser for our VERY special guests next pod and respond to our FIRST LISTENER EMAIL sent to us (like you can too) via [email protected].

Never Surrender to your first bonus episode - 100% conjecture, 0% facts! The podcast that The Squinters were never gonna make, got made with a show so far gone past post-facts and post truth it doesn't catch up to the zeitgeist, it is the zeitgest! Coco calls in from the Dallas Taranto Family Homestead to join Bartman, Cheeeeeeeeeese and Needles in swinging away with the big bats at a big bye week. The Squinters rule on the De Boer disaster, Coniglio's uninspiring godfather offers, give a to-the-bye-season review, prove why the Giants will have 8 All-Australians this year and consider whether LaMelo Ball is a chance to pull on the orange, white and charcoal in 2020. They also tip a win against Essendon. No quarters this week - its play on at all costs all the time. Speculate with us or at us at [email protected]. [NB: The banter contains a few swears, but no slurs].

Never Surrender by The Squinters is back with our difficult second episode. Bartman and Cheese come off the bench for their first times to join Needles on the interweb's best (because only) Giants fancast with some trademark uninformed and uncomplimentary Squinters conversation about Malcolm Blight, have a listen to how good Bartman's pen can click, review the victory over the Kangas, work out who the hell is Jack Stein-Stien, salute Nick Haynes for being brave about panicking and do a deep dive into Bartman’s drunken Sunday evening in rural Victoria. We are The Squinters and you're welcome to Never Surrender. Speculate with us or to us at [email protected].
