The Only Thing I’d Threaten Is a Good Time
This week, the lads cover everything from NFL quarterbacks and Twistie sandwiches to Ballarat hecklers and Brad Scott’s media flair. Dane unpacks the chaos around media doorstops, Ross Lyon’s surprise holiday backlash, and why sometimes it’s not about footy—it’s about flossing before breakfast. It's the usual unfiltered blend of headlines, hot takes, and hypotheticals you didn’t ask for but are glad you got.

29. Round 10 Maths Science for 2025
23:30||Season 8, Ep. 29It’s Round 10 and the gang’s got the calculators out—sort of—as Sir Doug Nicholls Round meets Math Science. Ralph’s flying to Brisbane to witness a potential Dees disaster, Dane’s hot on North and overs, and Sam’s just trying to keep the facial references to a minimum. They’re tipping upsets, revisiting Port's pronunciation, and questioning if Freo’s ever heard of fast ball movement. Plus, the surprise "best bet" of the round might raise a few eyebrows.As always, If you are having a gamble over the weekend, please gamble responsibly.Follow & support us elsewherePodcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesRalphy: Year Round CarnivalGamblers Helpline: 1800 858 85830. She Took Responsibility... Then Blamed the Umpires
27:37||Season 8, Ep. 30She Took Responsibility... Then Blamed the UmpiresThis week the crew is scattered across the country but united in chaos. Dane’s torching his multi bets with NHL legs, Ralph’s dodging cancel culture while copping it on Twitter, and Sam’s navigating toddler soccer politics and car-wash diplomacy on Mother’s Day. The crew also digs into Laura Kane’s curious case of full responsibility (with a side of blame), the AFL’s flopping epidemic, and what really deserves a punch in the face. Yes, there’s footy talk. No, there’s no filter.Follow & support us elsewherePodcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesRalphy: Year Round Carnival27. Round 9 Maths Science for 2025
19:38||Season 8, Ep. 27Round 9: Maths Science for 2025 Dane’s tipping confidence is shaky, Ralphie’s backing underdogs, and Sam’s just trying to stay upright around horses. This week’s Maths Science covers everything from Freo’s time-warp game plan to Spud’s Game reflections and a last-minute Mother's Day warning. It’s form guides, footy grief, and a whole lot of "gamble responsibly"—all wrapped in the usual chaos.As always, If you are having a gamble over the weekend, please gamble responsibly.Follow & support us elsewherePodcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesRalphy: Year Round CarnivalGamblers Helpline: 1800 858 85826. Guest Friend - Michael Roberts
25:38||Season 8, Ep. 26Guest, Friend... Michael RobertsAhead of Spud’s Game, the boys catch up with AFL great and media mainstay Michael Roberts for a heartfelt and hilariously raw walk down memory lane. From the chaos of plugger doorstops to the wild days of live crosses from pubs, Robbo dishes out the gold. But it’s his moving tribute to his mate Danny Frawley—both the fearless leader and the loveable larrikin—that makes this one special. A reminder that behind every great character is a cause worth backing. Footy, friendship, and a few inappropriate stories—just how Spud would’ve liked it.Follow & support us elsewherePodcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesRalphy: Year Round CarnivalMichael Roberts: @m_roberts10SPUD'S GAME: https://www.dannyfrawleycentre.com.au/https://www.saints.com.au/news/1712925/spuds-game-is-back-on-the-big-stage25. Round 8 Maths Science for 2025
23:49||Season 8, Ep. 25Round 8: Maths, Science for 2025Dane’s body made it to the studio—his mind, however, might still be courtside at the NBA. This week, the boys tackle Round 8 with their signature blend of footy logic, listener tangents, weather predictions, and just a hint of edibles. From Freo form woes to questionable scheduling calls, it’s Maths & Science mayhem at its finest.If you are having a gamble over the weekend, please gamble responsibly.Follow & support us elsewherePodcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesRalphy: Year Round CarnivalGamblers Helpline: 1800 858 85824. From that day forward
34:31||Season 8, Ep. 24From That Day Forward, I Decided I’d Never Have Another Penis Inside MeDon’t let the title fool you—this one’s more full-strength footy banter than romantic revelation. Dane's back on deck, joined by the usual suspects, diving headfirst into coaching blow-ups, AFL brain fades, local footy bruises, and the ever-growing list of things that now get you suspended for just showing a bit of ticker. As usual, the episode is fuelled by your listener-submitted questions, keeping the lads off-track and on-brand. With plenty of laughs, a splash of scandal, and a few unsolicited wellness tips, it’s everything you expect from Swanny & Friends… and probably a bit more.Follow & support us elsewherePodcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesRalphy: Year Round Carnival23. Guest Friend - Gary Ayres
01:01:46||Season 8, Ep. 23Guest, Friend... Gary AyresWith Swanny off on very important business (most likely crafting the perfect last-minute excuse from the porcelain throne), we brought in footy royalty to hold court—five-time premiership Hawk, former Geelong coach, and all-round legend Gary Ayres. In this epic chat, Ayresy dives deep into the locker room stories, coaching lessons, and footy wisdom only decades in the game can deliver. He pays heartfelt tribute to the late, great Allan Jeans, reflects on coaching the enigmatic Billy Brownless, and shares his unique perspective on playing alongside the freakish talent that was Gary Ablett Sr. Add in mentions of Hawks icons like Dunstall, Dipierdomenico, Langford, Mu, and Platten—and you’ve got an episode that truly earns its spot in the Swanny & Friends hall of fame.Follow & support us elsewherePodcast : @swannyandfriendsDane: @danes84Samantha @samantharichesRalphy: Year Round CarnivalThe Kennedy Community Center: https://www.hawthornfc.com.au/club/kennedycommunitycentre22.
