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...

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...

How Do You Live Your Life?

It’s a post-hens haze for Sam, and the question on everyone’s lips is: how does Dane Swan survive this lifestyle weekly? With tequila-fuelled chaos, hair-holding heroes, and karaoke regrets, the gang tackles everything from garters and donut towers to blokes lurking at Electric Lady. Meanwhile, Dane’s breaking footy streaks in Queensland and dodging awkward Hall of Fame invites. Plus, Nick Daicos gets bear...

Math Science, War Machines & Shaky Lines

It’s Round 14 and the crew is back with a vengeance—swapping multis, mocking lines, and doing their absolute best not to get cancelled (again). Dane’s backing the Blues, Sam’s recovering from a big weekend, and Ralph’s just trying to hold the ship steady through Bailey Smith theories, surprise stats, and some surprisingly sound betting logic. Plus, there’s weather forecasts, sauna strate...

It is fairly obvious that Samantha does not share the same feelings about the show title this week.

Guest Friend – Luke Ball

This week, Samantha, Dane and Ralph are joined by premiership Pie and former AFLPA president Luke Ball for a cracking episode filled with stories, insights, and a few polite digs. From his early days as a teenage standout at St Kilda, to navigating the politics of a high-profile trade to Collingwood, Bally opens up about footy life, leadership, and what it was like sharing the field (and the locker room) wit...

There Was a Sink, a Unicorn & a Whole Lotta Smut

Dane’s dialling in from bed in Perth, Sam’s apologising (again) as the lads tiptoe the blurry line between filth and footy, and Ralph’s somehow keeping the ship semi-afloat. From waffle-stomping bathroom dilemmas and dragon book smut to charity gigs, future bets, and junior footy cameos—this one’s got everything you probably didn’t need… and then some. Oh, and there’s footy chat t...

Hungry Unicorns, Hairy Lines & Maths Science Mayhem

Round 11 kicks off with Sam apologising for the lads dragging chaos from this week’s other wild episode into what’s meant to be the serious one. Dane’s banging on about unicorns, Ralph’s trying to talk totals, and Sam’s just trying and really struggling to hold the ship steady. There’s full-strength footy debates, suspect line calls, weather updates, and a rare appearance from ...

It’s Round 10 and the gang’s got the calculators out—sort of—as Sir Doug Nicholls Round meets Math Science. Ralph’s flying to Brisbane to witness a potential Dees disaster, Dane’s hot on North and overs, and Sam’s just trying to keep the facial references to a minimum. They’re tipping upsets, revisiting Port's pronunciation, and questioning if Freo’s ever heard of fast ball movement. Plus, the surprise "best bet" of the round might...

She Took Responsibility... Then Blamed the Umpires

This week the crew is scattered across the country but united in chaos. Dane’s torching his multi bets with NHL legs, Ralph’s dodging cancel culture while copping it on Twitter, and Sam’s navigating toddler soccer politics and car-wash diplomacy on Mother’s Day. The crew also digs into Laura Kane’s curious case of full responsibility (with a side of blame), the AFL’s flopping epidem...

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...

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 gambl...

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 th...

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.
