In this episode of The Impostor Podcast, Burso is back on the couch with the absolute madman himself — Sam Wride — a former soldier turned armored brawler, fitness coach, Warhammer nerd, and part-time Twitch goblin.

What starts as a messy chat about cake, clapping, and dodgy audio syncs quickly spirals into a full-blown ride through Sam’s chaotic content creator life. He’s hurt his ankle (again), but instead of resting like a normal person, he’s throwing on some armor, launching a Twitch channel, and screaming at his mate Josh during Warhammer matches like it’s the World Cup.

“The ruler never lies,” Sam says — just before accusing Josh of cheating live on stream.Spoiler: Twitch chat was the judge. It got heated.

We talk losing 7,000 followers, why being funny on Instagram doesn’t pay, and why TikTok is just a flashy portfolio for sponsors who’ll never pay you in cash, but might send you a t-shirt. Sam’s building a bunch of YouTube channels: BooHurt fighting, tactical shooting, camping, and a Warhammer one “so nerdy it might cause shrinkage.”

There's also a potential TV gig in the pipeline (“rhymes with Little Sister”), a chat about whether Heston Russell is the most elite bloke on earth, and the realization that commentating on medieval sport in full kit is the real dream job.

Other gems include:

• Sam's $11-a-week fitness program that helps Buhurt warriors, future soldiers, and probably a few broken tradies.
• The idea of filming a two-man podcast in an ice bath (“Kevin Hart did it, we can do it. Just need to squish in.”)
• Burso accidentally riding an unregistered bike for 3 years — until a mate dobbed him in mid-ride.
• Discovering a new Australian combat sport that literally allows headbutts and chokes, but bans sucker punches. Good to know where the line is.

🔥 Questions This Episode (Kinda) Tries to Answer:

• How many YouTube channels is too many before Centrelink calls?
• Can you make money yelling about Warhammer on the internet?
• What happens when you mix PTSD, paint, and plastic figurines?
• Why do men in armor always end up starting a podcast?
• Is it possible to Twitch stream in an ice bath without freezing your left nut off?

Want to understand the weird Venn diagram that is veterans, nerds, influencers and full-contact medieval fighting? This episode’s got you covered. It’s raw, loose, and hilariously unhinged — like any good catch-up between mates should be.
