    126. Meal Prep & Mental Helth with Comedian Richard Dowling
    2025/06/15
    Today my guest is comedian Richard Dowling, an up and comer from Ireland by way of Wellington. I'm a big fan of Richard's work and work ethic so it was a delight to have him on the show. We initially sat down to talk about the Dark Souls series but the conversation naturally flowed and we ended up talking about health and mental health in comedy in what I think was a really nice episode.

  • 125. From Russia with Laughs with Comedian Anya Rzhevitskaya

    125. From Russia with Laughs with Comedian Anya Rzhevitskaya
    2025/06/08
    This week my guest is Anya Rzhevitskaya, a Wellington based comedian who produces gigs with Drug of Choice productions. Anya offered to come on the pod and talk about growing up in Russia, a country that I think we all find fascinating due to how similar it is to the United States but also completely different. This was my chance to ask any questions I had about what it was like growing up there to someone who actually did it. We also talked about comedy, the arts, a bit of politics as well as what Russia's stance on the LGBT community is. I hope you enjoy it!

  • 124. Local Politics (Again) with Ben Tito Caldwell

    124. Local Politics (Again) with Ben Tito Caldwell
    2025/06/01
    Ben "Tito" Caldwell is back for another guerrilla podcast while he dropped into Christchurch for a couple of gigs. Ben thought it would be a good idea to chat some more about local politics as in New Zealand the local elections are coming up soon and so we might help keep them in people's mind. We chatted about what it's been like working as a public servant as Ben has, what powers the local councillors do and don't have, and then we also talked a bit about the central politics as well as the development of cities with things such as cycle lanes.

    As said in the episode, Ben's opinions and statements do not reflect those of his employer. Me on the other hand yeah all that uninformed drivel that came tumbling out reflects the views of my employer (me).

    123. The Invisible Hook & Kitchen Confidential - RMT Book Club!
    2025/05/25
    This week I decided to sit down and yap about a couple of books that I have read this year, I'm trying to be more proactive at reading books instead of doom scrolling on the phone or playing video games, other stuff like that we use to space out. This time I talked about The Invisible Hook by Peter Leeson, a book about the economics of Pirates, and also Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain.

    122. Talking Wrestling & More with Mudit Mahajan
    2025/05/18
    This week I'm joined by Mudit Mahajan, a young lad from the Auckland comedy scene. We worked together a bit a year or so ago on a project and I've caught him at The Classic a couple of times. We had been meaning to have a proper chat about wrestling for ages so decided to do so on the podcast! Sorry if you're not a wrestling enjoyer, but next week I'll be back with my Book Club talking about The Invisible Hook and Kitchen Confidential.

  • 121. What I'm Grateful For & Lessons Learnt After 2 Years As A Freelance Entertainer

    121. What I'm Grateful For & Lessons Learnt After 2 Years As A Freelance Entertainer
    2025/05/11
    It's here! My reflections on what it's been like working as a freelance entertainer for the last 2 years. I broke this one down into things I'm grateful for and lessons learnt. And there were a lot more lessons learnt. Hope you enjoy it!

    What I'm Grateful For:
    • I've paid all my bills for 2 years off the back of telling jokes and reading quiz questions
    • I've begun to get some response from the content I'm creating
    • I'm feeling more connected in my communities
    • The podcast has been a very good networking tool
    • Second comedy special was received very well, nearly at 10k views.

    Lessons learnt:
    • Success is not going to make you happy
    • You will be told "no" more times that you can count, get used to it.
    • Therapy is worth the money
    • Idle hands are the devil's plaything
    • Crumbs make crumbcake
    • The cavalry is not coming to save you
    • You can never predict what's going to happen, curve balls will constantly be coming your way
    • Even with a dream job, you're still going to have shitty days
    • When it's going well, it's never going as good as you think it is, and when it's going bad, it's never going as bad as you think it is.
    • "Bush was terrible for the world, but great for punk"

    120. Da Movies, Comedy & Manic Impressive with Tristan Miller
    2025/05/04
    It's my 2nd anniversary since going full time as a comedian! I was planning on doing an episode full of reflection and evaluation, but the week got away on me and so I've bumped up this episode instead. This week I'm delighted to be joined by comedian Tristan Miller, based up in Auckland originally from the US. Tristan brought a list of tiny joys for us to discuss, as well as comedy, culture and of course Da Movies. I've been a guest on Tristan's podcast twice now which you can catch here!

    119. Pro Wrestler Kawa Kupa & His Manager Archie Bower
    2025/04/27
    Well there's a first time for everything and today's the first time I've had guests walk out on me during a podcast! Today I interviewed Unified Championship Wrestling's Light Heavyweight Champion Kawa Kupa and his manager Archie Bower. We got into how Kawa started wrestling, how they started working together, Kawa's attitude shift as of recently, what moves are the best to hit and which ones hurt the most, and then at the end I said something that set them off and they ended the interview early.

    You can get tickets to see Kawa Kupa defend his UCW Light Heavyweight Championship at the next Unified event, Frostbite on the 24th of may, tickets from https://championshipwrestling.co.nz/products/frostbite
