Weekend Warriors is the weekly drive-home podcast for those who did... and those who sometimes still do. Hosted by long-time mates Danny Rants and Clay Tharle , Weekend Warriors is an unfiltered mix of weekend carnage, sport, current affairs, questionable life advice and the stories everyone will be talking about on Monday. From damage control, wild listener call-ins, random debates, special guests and a few beers along the way—nothing is off limits. Whether you're driving home from work, heading to work or cracking a beer with your mates, pull up a seat. New episodes every Wednesday. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We dive into roof rocking, building jumps as kids, Clay's brutal 180-point footy loss on the weekend, and a whole lot of random nonsense that somehow turns into a conversation. As always, it's laughs, nostalgia and the kind of chat you'd have with your mates over a few beers. Tune in and join the chaos. 🍻 Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
