Hump Day with Swanny & Friends

Final Transmission (Maybe…): After seven years, 431 episodes, a global pandemic, a post-mail tampon, a Hall of Fame nod, and far too many boat party references — the mics go cold (for now). Swanny, Samantha and Ralphy gather for one last session of loose yarns, life musings, fantasy NFL updates, childcare chaos, parenting wisdom (?) and the occasional stroke of actual sports insight. Is this the e...

Bulletproof Bets, Benders & Being a Jockey. While Swanny eventually drops in (fresh off another racing-week bender), Sam and Ralph hold the fort with racing royalty Simon Marshall—16-time Group 1 winner turned TV frontman. From surviving 4am starts and 48kg weigh-ins to collapsing in saunas and catching grapes with your face at Blanc de Blanc, Simon’s stories have it all. We dive into the wild...

Winking at Royals & Surviving Cream Pies – with Tony Jones It’s hump day and Channel Nine’s Tony Jones joins Swanny, Samantha & Ralphy for a Melbourne Cup Week warm-up filled with racing tales, newsroom chaos, and the time he winked at Princess Di. From dodging Queen invites and surviving Eddie’s boardroom roasts to covering turf tantrums and trackside tripods, nothing’s off-limits. We tal...

From Williamstown premiership glory to managing Freo's list and fielding firestorms at Carlton, Brad Lloyd joins Swanny, Samantha & Ralph to unpack his unique journey through footy’s many layers. Hear the stories behind Nat Fyfe’s draft rise, Lockie Neale’s late steal, and what it's like giving a pre-game speech with Nathan Buckley in the room. There's also a little Thailand mugging, a lot of...

Swanny’s back—and so are the rants. From North Melbourne memberships and golf course journalism to Netflix algorithms and brat behaviour, the crew’s back together for a Finals-free deep dive into everything and nothing.

Is it worth the lollipop? Fresh off Grand Final week, Swanny, Samantha and Ralph check in before heading west for charity gigs, Kalgoorlie cups, and the usual chaos. There’s talk of kids learning the pain of losing early, the questionable economics of taking six-year-olds to the ‘G, and the genius parenting hack of “if they don’t know it exists, you don’t have to pay for it.” Add in a dose of Roya...

We had a bit of time up our sleeve wondering if Strauchanie was going to turn up - He was a late out so we amused our selves as we always do with a bit of shed talk. Dr Samantha made an appearance but mainly, it was footy chat. Footy gone, footy to come. Glorious Football. Follow & support us where you can, hit subscribe and share the pod with a mate.

Triple M sports broadcaster Jess Webster jumps behind the mic this week to join Swanny & Friends – and brings a touch of professionalism we’re not used to. We chat about her journey from the Northern Territory to the heart of AFL media, her Queensland roots, and the fact her beloved Brisbane Lions are still alive in the finals. Jess opens up about press box pressures, grand final week mayhem,...

Maths Science: Finals Week 1 It’s Finals footy and the chaos is real – especially inside Dane Swan’s phone. This week, we unpack Swanny’s refusal to save numbers (yes, even yours ), his treadmill top-speed claims that would make Usain Bolt blush, and how to decipher a contact list full of nicknames and guesswork. Plus, your classic Maths Science: best bets, blowout predictions, and Swanny refusing...

The Return of the Librarian – Lord Heath Shaw He’s back—and louder than ever. The one and only Heath Shaw returns to the studio for an unfiltered, no-notes catch-up with Samantha, Dane and Ralph. From calling out vanilla media takes to reminiscing about footy feuds, fly kicks, and flag wins, Lord Heath is in vintage form. There’s a sprinkling of Giants nostalgia, a few cheeky jabs at the Pies’ cur...

It’s a midweek bonus ep and the crew dive into your listener questions! Swanny talks charity games, legends footy and where his faith sits with the Pies heading into finals, while Ralph ponders angry coaches and obscure nicknames. Sam cops a few fashion critiques (and fires back), and the team weigh in on draft age debates and the Rankine suspension. A bit of footy, a bit of nonsense – classic hum...

Round 24.5 is here (yes, really) and the crew are back to make sense of it all. From the “bonus” midweek Gold Coast clash to finals spots on the line, we’ve got Carlton v Essendon, Collingwood v Melbourne, and the Dogs fighting for their September. Ralph’s battling the form guide, Tay’s already dreading a Gold Coast road trip, and Sam’s hanging on every Bulldogs stat. Footy, odds, weather checks,...

Maths Science today, and at this stage of the season with teams resting players sometimes in preparation for finals, other teams who are out of the running, coaches under pressure, and of course 9 teams trying to fit into 8 spots - there's plenty on the line. We look at the lines, the margins, the totals, and Dane and Ralphy give their best bets. Follow & support us everywhere, and subscribe t...

Bit of random chat to kick off the show about Sams honeymoon, and surviving the tsunami, and Dane is excited* (*he may not be) about going to the Monster Trucks this weekend. But after that we get to the big news of the week, the departure of Simon Goodwin from the Demons. Dane wants to know if Ralphy had any inside word it was coming. Who could the new coach be, we kick around the options. Dane r...

This week, Jobe Watson is back, Samantha is not. Rude frankly. Dane, Jobe and Ralphy discuss when players start booking the end of season trips, the Bombers are already onto it, and Dane reveals that towards the end of the season there are more players doing weights to get the body 'beach ready'. Jobe reveals the very well known footy name who wore a Peppa Pig outfit to his kids birthday party rec...

Aaaannnd, we're back. Well two of the gang of three anyway. Today is Maths Science where we try to rinse the bookies and pick some solid bets, or in Dane's case, pump up the legs of his multi that he need to perform.

Is it for the love of the game? This week, Dane, Samantha and Ralph tackle the age-old question: are the players still driven by pure love of the game, or has it all become about cash, contracts, and side hustles? (We know Dane's reply) Between Ross Lyon’s mysterious holiday timing, Clarko’s ongoing soap opera, and the growing trend of players citing mental health breaks "to avoid scrutiny", there...
