Conspiracy theories abound about the correlation between recordings of The Barkly Street Podcast and Bulldogs victories.Dogs fans are buying into the suspicion that the Dogs seem to play their best footy when their club’s official podcast, co-hosted by Bob Murphy and Marcus Bontempelli, hits the airwaves in the lead-up to a match.After all, a mid-season podcast hiatus resulted in three straight Bulldogs losses, and again it seemed to be the missing ingredient as the Club suffered a heart-breaking loss to Geelong last Friday night.It meant it was priority one for Bob and Bont to jump straight back on zoom this week to record episode 19 of Barkly Street, and they brought Club champion Daniel Giansiracusa along for the ride for good measure.The trio discusses Gia’s form on the golf course, his experiences as the Dogs’ AFL runner (including how successful he is at delivering messages to the Bont), coaching the Club’s scratch matches in their Queensland hub, and what it was like wearing the green vest as the substitute in his playing days.The boys then jump into the ‘Footy DeLorean’ for an episode of Dog Tales, examining Giansiracusa’s brilliant match-winning goal against the Tigers in Round 3, 2014.Bob and Bont also chat about the Club’s new partnership with McDonald’s (and Bob’s idea for a new burger), how the Bulldogs are approaching their final three matches of the home and away season, the extent of Bont’s fishing knowledge after a day out ‘casting and reeling’, and the escalation of abuse players are encountering on social media.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
