  • 133. JokeTober Aftermath with Grant Cattermole
    2025/11/30
    Another cheeky little bonus episode for the faithful Ruddlemaniacs still listening along to these secret episodes. This time I brought Grant Cattermole, a local comic who has become a very close friend of mine in the comedy scene and we did a post mortem about the JokeTober project we did in 2025 - a new joke posted to our socials every day from a list of prompts. We went through all the jokes we posted, which prompts gave us hell, what we thought of the project as a whole and whether we'll do it again. Hope you enjoy!

    1. Toothbrush
    2. Public Transport
    3. Passwords

  • 132. The Cost Of Greatness: A Star Is Born (2018) With Geoff Wilson
    2025/11/02
    A cheeky little bonus episode for you. The podcast is still on hiatus in the sense that I'm not doing weekly episodes, but when the inspiration strikes or the right person comes along I'll be dropping episodes if I believe they've got something worth saying in them.

    In this episode Geoff and I talk about the tragic 2018 film A Star Is Born in our usual The Cost Of Greatness style. I never expected to enjoy this movie but it absolutely ripped my heart out. Alongside La La Land which we also talk about in this episode, as well as a general life update about what's been going on in my world.

    Follow Geoff online via www.gwilsonswork.com or thenitclicked.substack.com.

    I haven't got much new to plug, you (probably) know where to find me online.

  • Hiatus Announcement
    2025/07/20
    Hey Ruddlemaniacs, I'm going to be putting the podcast on ice for a currently undetermined length of time. The long and short of it is that I've been burning it at both ends for the past couple of months and the weekly nature of the podcast was beginning to grind me down. I've been sick as a dog for going on four weeks now and frankly I'm just knackered. Thankfully the last episode with Jeremy Redmore was a banger so I feel I can go out on a high note while I rest up.

    This audio clip is essentially me just rambling about why the process of recording the podcast has been wearing me out lately, and to be honest I felt like I've run out of things to say for the past few episodes, so it feels like a good time to take a break.

    Dan the owner of Tape Deck Media was very understanding and said to take as long as I need, so it feels great not to have the pressure of a weekly release to meet for a bit.

    Take care, I look forward to talking to you again sometime soon!

  • 131. Musician Jeremy Redmore (formerly of Midnight Youth)
    2025/07/15
    This is a HUGE get for the podcast, quite possibly the biggest guest I've had so far! Jeremy's a musician currently living in Holland but from NZ originally. Jeremy was in a band in 2009 called Midnight Youth who released some absolute bangers that I remember hearing all the time in high school. I heard one of them on the playlist at Little Andromeda several weeks back and ended up going down a bit of a rabbit hole and actually getting in touch with Jeremy who's been an absolute gentleman and a scholar and agreed to come on the podcast for a chat.

    Jeremy's up to a whole pile of cool stuff at the moment, predominantly music and books for children all focused around singing, so visit www.jeremyredmore.com to learn more!

  • 130. Mushroom Poisoning & Memphis Belle with Melissa Katherine
    2025/07/13
    Today's guest is Melissa Katherine, a stand up comic from Auckland who's been gaining a bit of traction online lately after discussing an Australian true crime event where someone poisoned some people with a beef wellington, she even got a cease and desist letter from the Australian supreme court as it's actually illegal to talk about crimes while the case is still pending. Fascinating stuff! We also talked about the film Memphis Belle and why it's meaningful to her, as well as the role that wartime propaganda plays in society. Hope you enjoy it!

  • 129. Life's Curveballs with Richard Dryden
    2025/07/10
    Today's guests is one of my favourite people, Richard Dryden. I know him primarily as a stand up comedian but he's lived a whole life before we even met. The long and short of Richard's story is that he had a kidney transplant at 17, and tongue cancer resulting in a very hefty muscle transplant. He's worked in radio, he does stand up and music, and he's genuinely one of the sweetest guys I've ever met in comedy, even though he refers to himself as a grumpy curmudgeon. Great chatting with Richard agian, hope to share the stage again soon!

    Check out Richard's TedX Talk here telling his whole story:

  • 128. Tony Hawk & The 90s with Craig Westenberg
    2025/07/06
    To coincide with the release of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, I brought Craig Westenberg back onto the podcast and we reminisced about the 90s, skate culture, extreme sports, music, jackass and the like and Craig walked me through the history of the Tony Hawk video games and why they are so meaningful to him.

  • The Inevitable AI, War & James Bond Episode | Hoss Town Podcast Ep. 9
    2025/06/29
    Well folks it was inevitable, the geopolitical state of the world today was always going to come up on Hoss Town and so we've reached our inevitable episode about AI, War, Nukes, Geopolitics, and of course James Bond. Taylor got very briefly mistaken for Matt out in public again, so now the score is 2-1 to Taylor.

    We'll be honest this is probably going to be the last episode of Hoss Town for a while, Taylor's going to be taking a much needed hiatus from creating podcasts in a couple of weeks, but Hoss Town will return!

    Watch the full video on YouTube here.

    Hoss Town is a monthly podcast by two big boys respectfully making some noise, stand up comedians Taylor Ruddle & Matt Lilley. The aforementioned Mayors of Hoss Town take a lighthearted look at masculinity in modern times - it's a journey of trying to find a balance between being Cavemen and Scholars with plenty of belly laughs along the way.
