The 28 Report

In this bonus episode by popular demand, Dan Saunders - The bloke who discovered a glitch with his ATM card and withdrew $1.6 million over a 4 month period in 2011, turning his life upside down in the process and paying the price, jumped on a call to answer your questions. As usual, our proposed 15 minute quickie blew out and we discussed some of the more serious elements of Dans experience. From addiction, to his healthy distrust of certain sections of the media, it was another great chat.

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.

Channel 9’s Chief Football Reporter and obscure athlete enthusiast—Tom Morris joined us in the studio this week.

From what started with our desire to understand how media, and how the vastly different roles that exist within it operate, stemmed an honest and bloody insightful conversation.

From unpacking the realities of how stories develop, the new media landscape and ‘Scrapers’, to obscure cricketers, our proposed group ‘golf’ trip to Turkey, hand training and the art of the frame in. 

It was a great yarn, and one you’ll leave with a much better understanding of both how journalism works, and Tom himself.

Enjoy the show

Do the crime, do the time. Jim got hammered and missed last weeks episode, then chose a poor target over the weekend and was severely fathered by WTC winning South African Captain Temba Bavuma. Now, he must be punished.

Andrew Davis(AJ), founder of StatMate joins us to save our horrendous tipping segment. StatMate gives you the ability to cut and slice AFL, NRL & NBA player data whichever way you choose. From player performances vs specific teams to how a player excels when a team-mate is out through injury, this next level insight finally gives the advantage to the punter. So, Vedge and Jim might actually tip a winner this week with any luck.

It's good to be back, jump in and enjoy the yarn!

Trav's back from his hiatus and he's brought his superstar apprentice, Essendon Forward Nate Caddy in for a yarn after kicking arguably the goal of the year on the weekend.

We thought it would only be fitting to bring the greatest goal umpire to wave the double flags, our very own viral sensation Reihana Haggie aka The Real Razor Ray in to give it the celebration it deserved. Ray has no idea who any of us are, and Trav was more than happy to list off every single one of his accomplishments to bring him up to speed.

Nate and Trav talk us through their coach/player bond and all that serious stuff before we switched on and talked about our mate Nick The Wizard Watsons tanning routine, 28's man crush on Nates Dad, Qatari corruption of our podcast(hopefully), and much much more.

Can we get Ray a gig at AFL level? 

Tuck in and enjoy the show--it's a belter.

Viva la 28

The boys are(sort of)fizzed up for the Origin opener and discuss what Rugby 'means' to them... poorly. Aaron Gocs calls in to clear that up from Brisbane.

We unpack the current state of the AFL drug policy through a brutally honest lens. And are Port fans the most fragile operators in sport?

Tune in and leave a review.

Contender for episode of the year as the big rooster joins us on the back of clunking the game winner on the MCG over the weekend.

Pinky joined us to talk through his newfound Italian Gen Z brainrot obsession, his journey to from getting drafted, spending 4 years out of the AFL system and being backed in by Clarko and North to have another crack at the level where he's cemented himself as a senior player. Pretty grouse story if we say so ourselves.

Stick around for Pinkys teammate Tommy Powells phone call at the end, we may need to help the great man sell his car after he's absolutely fumbled it over a game of backyard cricket.

Leave us a comment and review, but don't forget to follow Tobypink32 on TikTok for the highest quality brainrot on the interweb.

Alicia Weir has gone by many names. Some Blonde DJ, Blondie Lee and now reinventing herself as Goldi. She's a successful musician and DJ who many of us will have had the pleasure of seeing play live at Revolver over a merlot and a cheese platter for any parents playing at home. But I know Goldi as my mate Alicia from highschool. The smiling assassin who had time for anyone(including a dart behind the basketball courts).

I've watched her take on the world from a far, and more recently go through something of a transformation. It's been 15 years since we sat down and caught up, we talked school, her journey as a DJ, plenty of Revolver chat, some astrology(that's right)and what sits behind Goldi.

She's one of the absolute greats, I reckon you'll love the episode.

Season 2 of The Quarter Life Crisis returns for 2025 with Jack Davis from It's Cool to Cry: Content warning: This story contains references to suicide and self-harm. ⁠

Jack lost his partner Elle to suicide when they were both 25. She was magnetic—funny, brilliant, and full of life. Her sudden decline and passing sent Jack into a spiral he tried to outrun, until grief caught up in unexpected ways. Years later, through therapy and a lot of unravelling, he found a new path forward—and started It’s Cool To Cry, a social movement making mental health something we don’t dodge or dress up, and arming people with the practical, evidence based tools and resources to both manage, and understand for themselves.

We talked deeply about Elle, about Jack’s journey, but also about my own ongoing battle with mental health, identity, and how the mask I wore through my twenties is slipping as I try to grow up, or at least grow into myself.

Hope you enjoy the episode and take something away from Jack's story.
