Kate McCarthy, former AFLW player and current Triple M Footy commentator is our guest friend today, and Swanny wants to know what the hell he has to do to get a gig with Triple M as he reckons everyone except him has one. He explains Swan FC to Kate. She is suitably impressed (or is she?) and suggests a slogan - Swan FC, Any Where, Any Time, Any Price. Kate explains why she came to Melbourne and how she got into footy commentary. Can you believe in the media centre at Marvel, there are still no female bathrooms? Kate's sick of dealing with the male bathrooms after BT, JB, et al have taken a dump and she's decided to take over one bathroom with a homemade sign. Kate brings up Swanny's hatred of sand. And he then adds wind to the list. We talk AFLW. Kate reckons the AFL got it wrong and expanded too quickly. Ralphy disagrees. We talk about players not going back with the flight of the ball, Swanny tells a story about a pre-season match with the Saints where he didn't and copped a gob full from Brendan Goddard. Did Swanny care? What do you think... Swanny and Kate agree that they were not good with pre-season training, and Swanny reveals his theory on why he came back from the break as a player in less than ideal condition. Which leads to talking 'bakes', and Swanny reckons Malthouse was the king of the bake, and says that there is no way he (Malthouse) could coach today, not with his style. Dane wonders why he got yelled at by Malthouse, but he never saw Pendles cop a spray. And he makes the comment that great offensive players can't be great defensive players, saying it is impossible. And he sneaks in a shameless plug for his new cooking show on 7mate, starts this Saturday arvo at 1.30pm. If that isn't primetime we don't know what is. Follow us, share the pod with a mate, and support us if you feel the urge. If not, then as you were.

Round 6 of the AFL Season and Swanny & Ralphy are guessing lines, giving tips, ripping the piss and generally being unprofessional. Swanny talks about Nathan Murphy's loss for the Pies, and explains how the AFLPA payment system works for players who are forced to retire due to injury, how much do they get? Swanny runs through it. In the line guessing, Swanny pumps up The Cats saying 'Geelong are a remarkable team'. And talks about his fave time slot to play in, with a whack for someone on the way through saying 'Luke Hodge has no idea'....bam ! And Ralphy claims that he can beat Usain Bolt in a 100 metre race if he's given a 95 metre headstart. We're not entirely convinced. Our money is on Usain.

A great pod today, with guest friend Corbin Middlemas, ABC radio superstar. But first we get the rundown from Dane on the big boxing match, what did he think of Daisy's performance? The phrase 'not much chop' may have been used. Corbin reveals what Mick Malthouse loves to do every time he is in Adelaide, and what Mick is really like. Hard arse or good bloke? Dane got a whack from Mick before the finals when he was playing, and he blames his mates parents for having sex on the wrong day. Hard to believe? Well he's serious. And we find out why Dane hates Kerferd Road at 6am on Tuesdays. We discuss Gather Round. Should it be more often or is one enough? And how is each team travelling after 4 rounds? Dane, Corbin and Ralphy give their thoughts. And they're impressed with West Coast. Or are we ripping the piss? Probably. And we finish with Corbin's views on the Finlayson incident and how the AFL have mishandled the issues of racism and homophobic abuse in the game. Follow and support us here.

Round 5 of the AFL Season and this week Swanny and Ralphy guess the lines, give their tips, and generally talk shit. They each give their best tip of the round.

Caroline Wilson got a lot of air time on this weeks pod, Dane even called Ralphy the male Carro. Perhaps we should get her on?! We hear some little sound grabs from our friend Dermott Brereton giving Dane a drive by compliment and chat Dane's theory on how pre season changed so they can get a root via instagram. We discussed the hot topic of the AFLWs drug problem and why Dane thinks with no illicit drug policy in the AFLW we will soon see droves of AFL players identifying as AFLW players. There are listener questions in here too that gave some loud inappropriate lols So get this in your ears for your morning drive.

Hear how Jack's Mum walked in on Nic Naitanuii and while we didnt think we'd take that turn, we were relieved we did when some of the other topics covered were, well...not appropriate to be written in show notes! Other topics that were discussed in the episode that we can mention here were Jack's take on what is like to be so shit at something you are supposed to be so good at and how he is not just male meat...thankfully he cleared up he wasn't interested in sleeping with any of us from the get go. Jack discussed some of the greats he played with and how he went from number 1 draft pick who lost sleep over pre season to not having seen more than a handful of games live, since.

In this weeks episode of "Listener questions" our catch phrase was "Anything can happen" We covered everything from Racing in the 80s to Boxing is a dangerous sport. We discovered the Perfect Job for Eddie and discussed whatever that Helmut tap was? There really is nothing we wont chat about...except whatever it was that was sent in and Ralphy censored from us...Must of been something juicy! ...and its all thanks to you the people. Thanks for sending them in, we look forward to the next batch next week.

Look there was another name we really wanted to call this episode (And you'll find out inside) but we value the fact that somehow we are still on air and wanted to stay that way for a little bit longer so here it is, enjoy it while it lasts. The phrase "I don't know what that means?" was thrown around a lot and Dane's brain was pickled 2 mins in. We chimed in on the Sam Kerr debate and discussed who handled it better, her or Heath Shaw?

Here is a little bit on not much for your drive to work, or home from...or whenever you indulge in shit talk with Swanny and Friends.

Meeting Steve Marshall, more affectionately known as Sergio Paradise for the first time, Samantha was unsure how this respectable man from the Media of over 30 years would fit in. She should have just looked at the contents of his page to know he was the perfect fit. More talk about Dicks than we have ever talked! Being a great of the industry for so long Sergio also shared some of his funnies about some of his colleagues over the journey with the likes of Trevor Marmalade & Eddie McGuire and some, who, well it was best they weren’t ent named.
