Hump Day with Swanny & Friends

Roasts, The Return of Richo, and Dane Comments on Scott Pendlebury's Schlong

Season 7, Ep. 21

Guest friend today is Jason Richardson and after Ralphy's horror last week at watching episode 4 of Baby Reindeer, as you'd expect on a footy focused podcast we kick off with Ralphy asking Richo about Baby Reindeer. He hasn't seen it, and Ralphy recommends against it.


But what Richo is planning to see, and Dane has, is the Tom Brady roast. We kick round what Aussies would be up for being roasted, and who would not be. Dane mentions that he has seen a spit roast, but that sounds suspiciously like something else. We may be wrong.


Dane believes whilst Scott Pendlebury is generally clean as a whistle and that it may be hard to roast him, he thinks Pendles has something dark and devious about him. And he reveals that in 15-years of playing footy with him he never once saw Pendles' dick, which he reckons is suss.


What reality show would Dane like to go on? Once requiring not much effort. He says that if he was to go on Dancing With the Stars, he'd want a fee of a million bucks and that his partner would insist he danced with a bloke.


Richo talks about the brutality of the stopwatch and how he enjoyed that about his sporting career, and we talk 'fat club' at Hawthorn. We get a Swan FC update, Dane is off to Queensland this weekend to have a kick.


And as you'd expect, the Hall of Fame comes up again. Dane still flat. To add to it, Richo hasn't bothered watching Dane's new TV show....possibly because he's on a different show at the same time, but it sounds excusey.

  • 67. Final Transmission (Maybe…)

    50:40||Season 8, Ep. 67
    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 end or just a long halftime break? We don’t know either. But thanks for riding shotgun.

We talk Lou Richards memories, Mick Malthouse blow-ups, and why Billy Slater on horseback nearly stole the show.

  • 61. Is it worth the lollipop?

    30:45||Season 8, Ep. 61
    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 Royal Melbourne Show nostalgia, post-mortems on Geelong’s flop, Brisbane’s class, and a few licks of Snoop Dogg’s halftime show—and you’ve got the perfect midweek debrief.Follow & support us where you can, hit subscribe and share the pod with a mate.Podcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesRalphy: Race Track Ralphy
  • 60. Dane took it well

    18:59||Season 8, Ep. 60
    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.
