Hump Day with Swanny & Friends
I thought I Was Gonna Lose a Kidney! Spot-Betting, and AFL Maths Science.
Well this has gone pear-shaped. A guest has been a no show, what a mess. Can Dane and Ralphy recover? Only one way to find out.
But the pod gets off to a rough start, Dane is feeling flat following Glen McFarlane's list of the Top 10 Pies of all time, which criminally left him off. It's a dreadful oversight and Dane and Ralphy treat it with the disdain it deserves, including a suggestion from Dane for a 'bukkake-off'. Not sure that will work. Ralphy asks Dane to nominate the players who he feels should be ahead of him on the list. Dane seems particularly unhappy with being beaten by Syd Coventry and wants to know how many Anzac Day medals Syd won - clearly none.
Dane's impressed with Harley Reid, and says his highlight reel at his age is better than Chris Judd's at the same age. Dane reckons once he can put 4 quarters together he'll be a star.
Ralphy raises #1 draft picks, and runs through the #1 draft picks who've had incredible careers, in the context of West Coast getting Harley Reid instead of North last year.
We chat about the A-League debacle this week with players playing for yellow cards and the spot-betting scandal. Dane reckons spot-betting on AFL is very difficult, unlike soccer, tennis, and cricket.
Ralphy reads out some of your questions, keep em coming on the socials. We have a question about Tastebuds, and find out just how much input and work Dane puts into it (hot tip - bugger all). We find out Dane's most hated exercise in the gym.
Dane talks about how he should have had 2, maybe 3 Brownlow's.
More AFL Maths Science, and Dane and Ralphy say they need to do better. 50/50 results last week which was disappointing. A few good options this week, and which team does Dane call 'fucking horrible'?
And we end up with a part 3 of the pod today, because our planned guest Russell Robertson didn't turn up! Dane blames Glenn McFarlane for sabotaging it. Dane also calls the podcast listeners 'fucking arseholes'. So there's that.
Dane reckons the music played at his Swan FC match on the weekend was the worst music he's ever heard at a footy match. We run through some more listener feedback including one lunatic who reckons he saw a Harley Reid goal on PornHub. Really?
Sam back next week !! So get ready for some baby chat.
Follow us, share the pod with a mate, and support us if you feel the urge. If not, then as you were.

37:55||Season 7, Ep. 58At time of recording the "absolutely disgraceful skit" from the GWS boys was not yet uncovered...though unsurprisingly it would seem our opinioins would likely remain the same.
