Thought something different might be welcome

Its the end of the year and at the annual Comedy Hub awards, I took my little pocket recorder and had some chats to a few peeps.

Hope you enjoy.

Remember, its a hard time of year for many people, so dont be afraid to reach out and share the love!

See you next year

D

I hope you like hearing kids screaming!

I got to catch up with multiple BYJ guest Siobhan and talk about her new job, moving to a new town, and being back in the South Island.

We also talk about some of the amazing animals she works with, many of them native to NZ and endangered.

Then it all kind of goes wrong when Brecken busts into the room and pretty much takes over the whole darn podcast.

Kids. Not much more to say.

We also pay tribute to Kels on the eve of 1 year since we lost him. He would have handled my son way better then I did lol

Badda boom — I’m back!
It’s been tough picking up the mics since we lost Kels. Some days, they feel like they weigh a thousand kilos. Hitting record without hearing the bro making a beat or going on a rant feels strange. Even starting the podcast with a greeting feels off.

But I know Kels would want me to keep going — so keep going I will.

This episode, I’ve got a brilliant guest: CJ. She’s a wife, mum, teacher, friend — and so much more. She’s also faced her own battles with mental health. We dive into her journey, how it’s shaped her, where she’s at now, and the impact she’s making on others.

It’s a fun, thoughtful kōrero — and CJ’s voice is pure warmth for your ears.

More episodes coming soon. Hold me accountable, whānau!

Did you know this is the 82nd episode!

So happy to have two amazing people on the show. Honestly two people I could talk to together or alone for hours.

Its my cousin Grizz and his super cool wife Lavanya.

We talk about hitting the gym, what made them start, the challenges they have had and what music keeps them pumping iron.

We also jump into the most amazing story of Lavanya getting back surgery days before her wedding, how amazing India is and what was it like meeting each others families for the first time.

Will totally get these two on again.

For those of you following along at home, you know Kels loved a good Mt. Rushmore question—so much so that he wrote a ton of them. Unfortunately, we never got the chance to tackle them… but luckily, he passed the list on to our good mate Tyrin!

So now, we’re diving in! We’re sitting down with Kels’ list and going all in on wrestling—ranking the best, debating the greats, and having a blast along the way. Play along at home and see if your picks match ours!

Ok so I realised towards the end of the episode my mic was off. Like I had to use an older one and I must have hit the on switch. But hopefully you can still hear me enough.

BUT its not about me, its about this weeks guests, the always welcomed Siobhan and long time talking topic, first time guest Findlay!

We break down Mania and look at each match, and also talk about Findlays weird gym membership collection.

Plus we check in on our mental health and more!

Hope you like this one.

Well ok, Dylan may have got caught up in the hype of the comedy fest and forgot to upload this episode....

My bad everyone! But its here now and this week has friend of the show Tracey Adams!

We talk about loosing Kels and our love for our fallen mate.

We also talk about wrestling and Tracey brought a heap of excellent questions for us all to ponder. Enjoy this is a fun ep.

So very excited about this episode and have wanted this guest on for a wee while. We finally managed to get our shit in order and now here she is!

Sammy has had a really hard journey to get to where she is today. from loosing her kids to her road to recovery with PTSD!

This is a bit of a heavy episode with some lovely learnings!

Enjoy!
