Bath Time

It’s Day 154 of Bath Time!

Should Taylor Swift be eligible for triple j’s Hottest 100?

Yes. Yes she should.

Because she made music in 2014. And it was fun.

Also Paul has a head splitting headache and wonders if it has anything to do with all the drum-heavy soundtracks he’s been listening to.

It’s Day 153 of Bath Time!

Josh Prince and Phil Setton are in the tub for the first time in 2015!

Phil outlines how to document a holiday in a surreal photo blogging experiment that made his girlfriend’s mother very confused and worried.

The future of television is discussed and decided. Imagine a reality TV show that was released all at once on Netflix. Would you binge watch it just so that you could vote?

Also, personal and public prophecies and predictions for 2015.

It’s Day 152 of Bath Time!

Are you a parent? Do you ever intend to become a parent?

Are you equipped with the right knowledge, wisdom and temperament to be a good parent?

What kind of a world would we bring children into? Climate change, racial tensions, technological advances, moral shifts… how do we navigate it all?

It’s Day 151 of Bath Time!

How did your parent’s childhood influence your childhood?

Did the follies, terrors and joys of your parents younger days get passed on to you?

Paul investigates!

It’s Day 150 of Bath Time!

Paul has just been checking out the newcomers to the Melbourne comedy scene at the first RAW Comedy Heat of 2015.

The scary thing was… most people didn’t suck.

So, is that a good thing? Does Paul benefit from more good comedians on the scene, or would he prefer everyone was terrrible?

It’s Day 149 of Bath Time!

Welcome to 2015! Wait, didn’t that start like 9 days ago?

Did it? Are you sure?

Because 2014 was pretty shit… terrorists, hostage situations, ebola, airlines disasters…

And so far 2015 is looking a lot like 2014.

So maybe it is!

It’s Day 148 of Bath Time!

As with the rest of the world, Paul has been horrified at the news of the attacks on Charlie Hebdo in Paris.

Paul is a proud comedian and satirist and the attacks have led to some self reflection and broader thinking on the role of satire in the world, and the growing need to be level headed, and for people and societies to be honest with each other.

It’s Day 147 of Bath Time!

@vineyardpaul on Twitter suggested Paul and Anthony should watch Arctic Blast and share their thoughts on it.

They watched. And they laughed. And they talked.

Arctic Blast is a (little know?) disaster movie produced in Tasmania in 2010. It stars Michael Shanks and is directed by the BMX Bandit director.

So what went wrong?

From the bad acting, to terrible script to entirely lacking SFX department, we perform a movie autopsy.

Also a big announcement about a thing called Movie Autopsy!

It’s Day 146 of Bath Time!

Paul has had a productive day! He did so many things.

Also he spray painted a spider.

So that all gets tied together neatly on today’s ruminations on productivity and feeling productive.

It’s Day 145 of Bath Time!

Max Attwood is a guest Paul has wanted on the show for a long time.

They’ve met doing student theatre, worked together on community television and started out doing stand up comedy around the same time, touring a split bill show together at various Australian comedy festivals.

Max is a trained circus performer and now training to become a primary school teacher.

Max discusses the change in career and the skills that cross over.
