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.

Round 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.

Guest, Friend... Michael Roberts

Ahead 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.

Round 8: Maths, Science for 2025

Dane’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.

From That Day Forward, I Decided I’d Never Have Another Penis Inside Me

Don’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.

Guest, Friend... Gary Ayres

With 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.

This week on Swanny & Friends, we had a very special guest lined up… or so we thought. While their seat remained suspiciously vacant, the show went on in full flight—non-heroin, of course. From oddly specific sock protocols and AFL supporter tier lists to Easter hunts and monster truck plans, it’s the usual mix of life, laughs, and a sprinkle of chaos. Turns out, sometimes, some of the best banter happens when it’s just Swanny and us, as his friends.

This week, the gang gathers 'round (online!) for Round 5 of the AFL—and things get weird quick. Sam’s rocking eye masks, Ralphy’s tipping like a psychic, and Dane’s torn between team loyalty and betting logic. From salmon sperm skincare to elevator placement theory and a definitive list of AFL “stars vs superstars” on the horizon—this one’s got it all. Plus, the crew makes their best (and possibly worst) calls for Gather Round in Adelaide.

Happy listening and fluttering (responsibly, of course)

We are online as kids have germs and therefore, inevitably so will their parents but we cannot survive with out Samantha, we have proven this time and time again.

Here is a little too much chat about poo and weddings and not enough about listener questions but we do our best to as many as we can!

Enjoy our ramblings
