Guest Friend - Jess Webster

9/3/2025
Triple M sports broadcaster Jess Webster jumps behind the mic this week to join Swanny & Friends – and brings a touch of professionalism we’re not used to. We chat about her journey from the Northern Territory to the heart of AFL media, her Queensland roots, and the fact her beloved Brisbane Lions are still alive in the finals. Jess opens up about press box pressures, grand final week mayhem, and how an AAMI Clanger moment made her feel right at home with the Triple M crew. A ripping chat with one of the best in the biz – plus your usual dose of questionable takes, rogue detours, and Dane’s refusal to follow social norms.

The return of The Librarian

8/26/2025
The Return of the Librarian – Lord Heath Shaw He’s back—and louder than ever. The one and only Heath Shaw returns to the studio for an unfiltered, no-notes catch-up with Samantha, Dane and Ralph. From calling out vanilla media takes to reminiscing about footy feuds, fly kicks, and flag wins, Lord Heath is in vintage form. There’s a sprinkling of Giants nostalgia, a few cheeky jabs at the Pies’ current list, and just enough locker room chaos to remind us why he’s podcast royalty.

Is Dane Applying for the Vacant Dees Coaching Gig? And why a Pies Win will Anchor His Multi this weekend.

8/5/2025
Bit of random chat to kick off the show about Sams honeymoon, and surviving the tsunami, and Dane is excited* (*he may not be) about going to the Monster Trucks this weekend. But after that we get to the big news of the week, the departure of Simon Goodwin from the Demons. Dane wants to know if Ralphy had any inside word it was coming. Who could the new coach be, we kick around the options. Dane refuses to rule out applying for the role, noting that he has missed call from Pickers this morning, so there is every chance it's the Dees reaching out to chat. Ralphy reckons Longmire is a decent shot, although he has no tips on it from anyone in the know. Have the Dees been selfish? Dane says yes, and explains why. And he has an idea about salary cap exemptions for veterans, and for low draft pick players who clubs identified, took a risk on, and developed. Should Max Gawn leave Melbourne? Dane says it makes business sense for him to. Speaking of business sense. Dane's big multi is goooooone. And he's not happy about it. Confirmed: Dane is playing in the Legends game on August 28. Not planning to break a sweat. Plenty of questions and comments from you, a number of them a tad fruity this week. Dane talks us through where the Pies are at with their training, and how they are planning the run into finals. He reckons they should be the anchor for your multi this weekend.

Jobe returns. From Fat Shaming to Peppa Pig.

7/30/2025
This week, Jobe Watson is back, Samantha is not. Rude frankly. Dane, Jobe and Ralphy discuss when players start booking the end of season trips, the Bombers are already onto it, and Dane reveals that towards the end of the season there are more players doing weights to get the body 'beach ready'. Jobe reveals the very well known footy name who wore a Peppa Pig outfit to his kids birthday party recently. We talk fat shaming - Toby Greene vs Tom Papley. And talk about skinfolds, getting the piss ripped when having them taken in front of team-mates, and why Dane says if you can't reveal players weight, why can you reveal their height? Bunch of listener questions for the team which we run through - keep them coming. Dane reveals how his crypto investment is going (it's good), Jobe reveals how is is going (it's not good). Daisy....has he had botox? Plenty of piss is ripped over Daisy's medical efforts. Jobe talks about his love for wrestling and how Hulk Hogan's passing affected him. Fantasy footy time the NFL, we hear how Jobe gets his team ready. And what region of Australia does Jobe reckon should get the 20th AFL license? It's not North Queensland or the Northern Territory. Plus we discuss St Kilda and Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera, Jobe says they cannot let him leave. Follow & support us where you can, hit subscribe and share the pod with a mate.

“Is it for the love of the game?" + Maths Science

7/16/2025
Is it for the love of the game? This week, Dane, Samantha and Ralph tackle the age-old question: are the players still driven by pure love of the game, or has it all become about cash, contracts, and side hustles? (We know Dane's reply) Between Ross Lyon’s mysterious holiday timing, Clarko’s ongoing soap opera, and the growing trend of players citing mental health breaks "to avoid scrutiny", there’s no shortage of hot takes. We also get sidetracked (naturally) by NBA finals, horse dramas, and listener questions that spiral faster than a Friday night at the local. It’s raw, honest, and exactly what you’ve come to expect — equal parts footy insights and off-the-rails fun.

Guest Friend - Ben Dixon

6/24/2025
Tacos, Tackles & the Jack Newton Classic Benny Dixon drops in for a chat and quickly proves he’s as sharp off-field as he was on it—just maybe not in the kitchen (old tacos, anyone?). From school drop-offs and Wagon Wheels to draft-day dramas and hitchhiking to training, the Hawthorn cult hero gets candid on footy, fatherhood, and the media hustle. He lifts the lid on coaching influences—including some Clarko classics, some Mick Malthouse moments—and shares stories from the rowdy Jack Newton Classic featuring golfers, grub, and grog...and landing his wife despite waking up in a bush. A ripper ep with laughs, legends, and a healthy dose of Dixon charm.

Round 15 Maths Science for 2025

6/18/2025
Internet Woes, Juddy Gigs & Footy From Bumf* Nowhere** Dane's off-grid and barely online, Ralph's dodging fashion critiques at functions, and Sam’s still defending her weather predictions (badly). From Ross Lyon sightings to footy and finance with Chris Judd, plus a raucous debate about strapping on hoodies over merch tees—this one’s all over the shop. The gang tackles Round 15 with questionable reception, conditional tips, and a classic Collingwood conspiracy from Dane. Oh, and there's a stubby holder up for grabs if you made it to the end.
