Whell, we would ask if you missed us, but we all know the answer to that! Dane gave us an honest answer to start the show of so we are officially back in our place. Straight back into it we catch up on all the top media stories like Culture enhancing Cocaine and why it's best not to read. Dane questions the whereabouts of Shaun Smith & if this whole thing was just a game play to get Pre season off. If true, he is, impressed. Follow and support us elsewhere Podcast :...

After the weekend that was, we thought we should organise a welfare check on our dear Dane. We knew it was in his best interests to not miss his flight so we scheduled a pod right before it in the hope he wouldn't miss this one. The odds weren't in his favour but much like his beloved pies, never count them out. We unpacked Dane's thoughts on the Granny before he heads to the States to pick up on normal life after 6 weeks of bachelor living. Follow and support us elsewhere Podcast :...

He wanted to return to the media and well, I'm not sure we were the professionals he was hoping to surround himself with again. A cancel culture soul mate, one of the most trolled and hated people in media in 2022 and bloody good Journo, Tom Morris came to kick it in the weeds with us this morning. In what was a fun and candid chat we did everything we could to get his to reveal his sources and give us some breaking news but he stood true. Some fab insights to the highs the lows, the rights...

We thought we owed it to the listeners to explain how Dane cancelled on his own podcast plans and left you the people with out a show to listen to. In what would have likely been our best pod, ever. Surely. It will now never be made. Samantha was reminded, just who's podcast she is on and to wait her turn when Dane is talking, We unpack the Brownlow and Preview the Granny along with some quality Listener questions...Here is this weeks episode. Worth the wait. Follow and support us...

Today's guest has had an illustrious career in Footy over the last 50 years, post his own, there aren't many clubs or player that he hasn't played apart in their career. The Great Neil Balme joined us for a candid chat and along with Swanny discussed the moment that changed Swanny's career and life for the better. "We've come along way in footy in the way we react to naughty boys" We played Balmey Bingo and he shared some unpopular opinions, and how all we've really got in footy, is...

With only 2 games this week we thankfully had some time to get to a back log of listener questions! You guys always provide the goods. Our very own dual premiership winner, Dane gave us a run down of his weekend and how he has reached the point where for the sake of his health he is hopeful his family will return soon. He leaves us with the question - will the AFL head down the path of Super rules? Follow and support us elsewhere Podcast : @swannyandfriends Dane: @danes84 Samantha...

With week 1 of the finals serving up Dees Vs Pies we thought we'd get a guest in who has worn both jumpers. Lynden Dunn gave up his Wednesday morning to share with us his take on that infamous Steele and the Uber sitch! He also talked us though what it was like to go from training at facilities that had the big 3 (Rats Possums and asbestos), when being shit was just another Saturday night to walking into a team that had Mick, Bucks & Pendles at the helm and your own gym! Lynden gave us...

Footy's back! And finals are upon us. What a fabulous weekend of footy in Melbourne and we kick off with a cracker of a match up. Before we got in to the break down of each game we talked some shit, because thats what we do and of course we got the inside word from the Mad Monday specialist. With a reduced amount of Footy games, Ralphy gives you a Top 10 Horses to watch over the Spring carnival. Enjoy!

Never has Samantha been more nervous about a guest coming on and not to be mistaken for excitement, lets be clear. But Ralph assured her that Daniel Hoyne from Champion Data knew what he was getting himself in for. Hoyne got Dane onside early with some impressive stats from his time in the Magpie Guernsey and further fluffed him up when talking about him as the pioneer of rotations but soon got into a thick All Australian debate. Daniel dumbed down expected score for us average joes and...

News flash (to samantha only really) Pre Finals bye round is upon us so no Maths Science this week, instead we covered such as should Samantha jump on footfinder.com and the fact that a Carlton loss on the weekend coincidentally means that the Power Rankings will be back this week. Dane delved into some very clever theories around the amount of players on a field/ground/court having a direct correlation to the amount the #1 draft pick would actually effect a teams success and we played a game...

Brett Deledio of the Richmond & GWS Footy clubs talked us through his journey from Country footy to Number 1 draft pick with 240 odd games on the big stage along the way and how sliding doors moments cost him the elusive premiership, twice. He candidly spoke of his struggles around this moment and how playing his 250th, in his first Pre lim, against his old mob lead to some big feelings and even bigger sledges! He spoke of Dimma & playing along side the likes of Dusty and Richo, Jack...

It's the final round of the Home and Away season for the AFL, Round 24 and before we get into the nitty gritty, we thought we'd talk some shit. You lucky listeners get to listen to us banter about the week that was both in the world of AFL and in the temporary land of Dane's bachelorhood all before we talk numbers!

This week's listener questions really showcased Dane's inner thoughts! He has made a decision that he will attend Mad Monday with "his" club The Pines but whether or not he attends the Footy Trip will be up to The Boss...who is away at the moment so as you can imagine, he's not coping... Of course with the greats of the game dropping like flies into pending retirement, Dane gave his two cents! Hear how he's going as a renewed temporary bachelor, Samantha's questionable fertility tips plus all...

Back in the same room again for some insight on Round 23. Dane assures us there is nothing to worry about with the Pies and there are a few point to prove games to be played.

Today's guest knows all to well the risks of Podcasting with Famous Footballers yet here he is, It's Kate Sheahan's Dad, the Brilliant Mike Sheahan. We got him in to chat the Dunstall V Lockett V Buddy conversation that has started to bubble and almost got cancelled about 20 mins in! Mike mentioned that he first gained confidence in his opinion and voice back when he was only 17 and gave us his thoughts today on "New age" coaching, the future of Dimma and Hinkley and the not so pleasant...

One big episode of our usual shenanigans with some Match analysis stirred in for a bit of balance. From Meth to Movies to Maths. Wowee, what other podcasts cover it all? We caught up on Dane's weekend and it may surprise you to know that he is playing more footy in retirement than he did when he was when he was "playing". The Pines roll on toward the finals and Dane gets a rude shock at the front of a line when asked for an entry fee. Like check the posters lady! Follow and support us...

Ah, the sensible voice of reason has returned to once again, guide our ship, and, she stands firmly with Dane, showing grave concern Ralphy & his downward spiral. Please do show him support by letting him know you thoughts on socials. Although she took a bit to warm up, Twas great to get Samantha up to speed on all the shit we have talked with out her & we unpacked Dane's thoughts on how Grundy is staying motivated on his long distance drive to Casey & his continued contribution...

Round 19 of the AFL Premiership is upon us and Samantha is back in the drivers seat. She went to Europe incase you missed it. We unpack each game. Will Maths science come for the Pies this weekend?

When a distressed Dane still hadn't received his North Melbourne membership, his people (Ralphy) took it upon himself to reach out to their people. He made a call & Dr Sonja Hood answered! Some how, he then convinced the President of the Kangaroos to come on the Pod cast and explain herself! Well, what she has to say... you will have to listen, to find out.

Back together all in the same room, shooting the shit, taking the piss out of Samantha and chatting some footy. How Good! Dane is left concerned for the state of the human race, based on the quality (or lack there of) of Reality TV shows available on Free to air. The listener questions again provided gold, leading to Dane and Ralphy pitching to Samantha which one of them she should take on a deserted island. Some fine points made, the real question is, who would you take? Follow and support...
