Before you Jump Podcast

We have been trying to get Richard on the pod for some time and he finally caved!

Words will never express how amazing this was to record!

I am not even going to let you know what this is, you simply have to listen to find out!

Unbelievable! Miracles happen, this is proof!

Good god!

Just AMAZING!

In this episode, Dylan is joined by fellow Comedian Therese and Musician Earla while Kels returns to the hospital for more plastic surgery!

Earla has recently released her first-ever single Anxiety (you can find this on Spotify here) which she wrote in the last lockdown. (and youtube here)

She dives into her struggles over this time with mental health and her day-to-day life with her cool-as-beans partner.

Her good friend and fellow comedian Therese is with her, with her own unique story to tell! Therese started in comedy under her character Doreen Van Dam, a choice Westy Bogan Bad Ass! But she now hits the stage as herself, and is still a comedy Bad Ass!

Loved recording this episode, and watch this space, as we will try and get them both back soon!

We also look at some similarities between music and comedy (we both write, we both perform!) and how recording music and doing stand-up has given us all the strength we need in a day

Plus we ask a new question we want to ask every guest! Gotta listen in to know more!

We hope you dig this one in your ears as much as we did!

BTW this episode was recorded on our NEW microphones! Would love to get some feedback on the sound quality

Thanks!

We finish our talk (for now) with the fantastic Karl Pearce.  In this episode, we talk about his son Braden. His life, ambition, and personality.  

We talk about his struggles and how his friends gave him support and strength.

Again this is a traumatic episode and we recommend having support if needed. 

We also want to say THANK YOU! we could not do this without you tuning in and being part of our journey, and we hope we have helped keep you company when you need it.

A million days ago it feels, like Karl Pearce, Kels, and Dylan were like, hey the bit you did on the 24-hour pod was great Karl can we do it again? 

Well with Kels getting some well-needed rest Dylan got the old mate Karl on for a 2 part chat. 

Karl is a cool cat and has lived a life!  From rehab to radio Karl has a great story full of ups and downs. 

He has also had his battles with mental health and still does as we all do.  

Hope you dig this one and part 2 will be out soon!

Happy Birthday Kels! Dylan hears a crazy rumour about Kel's birthday antics and decides to tell him the goss . He did not, however, expect Kel's reply to be an admission of guilt! This yarn is a goody, as Kel's walks us through the night before. A night that included drinking too much, breaking the law and how one small plastic bag changed the night completely! Plus Dylan recalls some of his own past experiences with different things that also come in bags. We look at some of the things on our Bucket List, dream travel destinations, and Dylan talks about his all-time favourite magic trick that involves butterflies, orgasms and popstar Natalie Imbruglia!

Dylan forgot to bring an SD card, so he had to hook the mics into the recording gear.  Then hook the recording gear up to a TV.  Then he reversed the polarity from the TV to the sky box before re-soldering the sky box input to the output, enabling the recording to be sent to the satellite dish. Then he corrected its angle to allow for the westerly wind. It then beamed the signal into space, before being resent to Pakistan.  It was then sent (via camel!) to Nepal, where 17 monks meditated on it, and then sent it via morse code to Denver, where it was uploaded into a rocket ship. The rocket ship then blasted into space where it landed on the Spark mobile data centre, which is an annex on the international space station. It was then sent via wireless signals (possibly created by a witch, we aren't sure. But brooms ARE wireless) to Dylan's laptop next to him.   He then went home and put the podcast on a USB, which was then uploaded using cryptic code and is now streaming in your ears!

Man technology is amazing and complicated, for most...but not for Dylan! Kels explains his absence and how he climbed out the hole, and the boys reveal their 2023 dream to-do list for the Pod. BTW, are you interesting and want to be heard by the millions* (and millions*!) of BYJ fans?! Let us know! *may not be accurate

OMG we are in 2023. 

And still (just) alive!  We go over our horrible new years and what stopped us from recording.  

We also try and bluff our way through our favourite movies and TV of 2022, including Kels FINALLY watching The Soprano's, which is still the best tv program ever made. 

Look after yourself, and remember to stay hydrated!

This a Short and Sweet episode to catch you up on what's going on. 

Both D and K have some stuff in their lives at the moment making it hard to Pod, but we don't like to leave you out of the loop. 

But don't worry new we planning to record on New Years Eve! So stay tuned!

We have special guest Dan Brader in the studio shed this week.  Dan has been in the comedy grind for over 15 years and has performed all over New Zealand and Australia. Dan is a total comedy grinder, hitting the roads, doing the gigs, and living the nomad life

He is a no-punches-pulled type who wears his emotions on his sleeve.  This two-part episode goes all over but we discuss his mental health, his sexuality, movies, his parents, and more.  These episodes go from high to low pretty fast, so get those headphones in and strap in for this rollercoaster!
