Hump Day with Swanny & Friends
Why aren't they called baby grapes?
Well as Samantha returns to form after a few weeks of "sleep rehab", she even brought a segment to the table...about time she started doing something around here!
Dane also asked the questions - "What is wrong with Melbourne?" and what is this "Sexy Siren Song Freo are singing" because well they are no good but some how fool us all into thinking other wise.
We also covered just how much of a tight arse some of Dane's team mates, coaches and friends are and how some sponsors were just made to take advantage of!

44:00||Season 8, Ep. 65Winking at Royals & Surviving Cream Pies – with Tony JonesIt’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 talk Lou Richards memories, Mick Malthouse blow-ups, and why Billy Slater on horseback nearly stole the show.

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 Ned C culture, and a reminder that not every media scrum goes to plan.

30:45||Season 8, Ep. 61Is 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 Ralphy60.

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