Everything You Like Is Bad

I went back to school because turns out the podcasting industry isn't the lucrative cash cow that was promised to me. The gold rush is over my friends. Good news is, may as well keep doing it anyway! David Woodhead (Black Comedy, Be Your Own Boss) joins me to tip toe around the issue of Drake for an hour. He has a coughing fit. This episode was recorded a while ago so I don't fully remember how it goes, but I'm sure it's funny. Make sure you catch Dave at Adeaide Fringe and everywhere else.

Okay so there are a couple of times in this one when I might SOUND like I'm being racist but I'm not, I watch Anthony Bourdain. I know things about culture. Great, now that's out of the way and no one's gonna post about me, this episode is great. Bronwyn Kuss (@cocotits) is not only a great comedian but she's an awesome storyteller and she takes us on a JOURNEY from a naked drum circle in Edinburgh across to the NEAR EAST, the land of SPICES and SILK (I'm not racist), INDIA, where she travels from the Nepalese border up to the Punjab and back down to Mumbai. We talk a lot about how we're NOT racist, how important travel is for privileged white people to really find out "who they are," and how I've "heard of" a lot of what she talks about, mainly through Bourdain. ENJOY ONE OF THE ONLY GOOD EPISODES OF THIS PODCAST!

Holy shit this one is annoying. I have a blocked nose and I'm talking craft beer with Dan Dennis (@DapperDan8 / @beerbatteredboy) of the legendary Who DEM Boys? We drink A LOT of alcohol while recording this and get downright INSUFFERABLE. Dan pees a bunch, coz of all the drinks, and we talk about the great local producers like Green Beacon Brewing, Range Brewing, Ballistic Beer, and Slipstream Brewing Company, as well as awesome local craft beer bars like Tippler's Tap Fortitude Valley, Netherworld, and Brewski. Given the fact we sound like utter wankers the drunker we get, I'm not sure these guys would want us as spokespeople, but our enthusiasm is earnest. This is the most earnest this podcast has probably ever been. Coz it's an episode about getting wasted, the only remaining joy on God's green Earth. Also discussed: the body, blood, and cum of Christ.

Joel Batham and I solve Dutton, Morrison, Louis CK, and basically every bad thing in the world on this one baby! You thought good political comedy in Australia died along with Tonightly with Tom Ballard? Guess again! Meet your new gods (me, Ryan Sim, and also Joel). We talk about our political education (lol), whether it's worthwhile being politically engaged in Australia, the idea that being a single issue voter is okay if that issue is people literally dying in offshore detention, and the biggest issue of all: where do WE as COMEDIANS stand in this discourse? Who will listen to us and give us money? We deserve it.Please subscribe to us on iTunes, and leave us a little 5 star review.

This week I'm joined by famous podcast guest & essentially unknown comedian, Nick Carr. Recognisable as the whipping boy on The Little Dum Dum Club with Tommy Dassalo and Karl Chandler, Nick joins me on my real podcast to have a real discussion about real issues (his words), those being the teen sex comedies of the late 90s and early 2000s, specifically Sorority Boys, American Pie, and Road Trip. We blame basically all of our personality flaws on these films and basically, we're perfect humans now. I think this is a good episode but who can ever be sure?

This one is REAL HEAVY folks, so enjoy it or don't! I met Jen Sutton (@curlcity) when I ran a very tiny comedy room in a very tiny bar. She'd come to every show and we became friends, and she's lived a pretty interesting life. She said she wanted to come on and talk about God so we did. Gus has a guest starring role on this episode, sorry. Jen is a poet and has recently started doing open mic comedy and shes very funny. This episode is not very funny, but it's real deep and good.

Claudia Bergs has polio! I mean she's paleo! Your host, Ryan Sim (me) is vegan! Strap in folks, we have a real good time talking about the things we put in our mouths. She brought me macadamia nuts! We talk about racism! This episode is really late coz I was moving house and I got a puppy but I think it's really good. I don't know, I didn't listen back to me, but I'm pretty sure I didn't make any slurs. Listen! Claudia draws cartoons! Follow her Instagram @claudia_bergs

Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld series is dead BUT he was never #MeToo'd unlike Terry Gilliam. Comedian and writer @NgaioGraceJarvis joins me to brag about how she knows how to read, how gross Neil Gaiman is (we really dropped the ball by not making a Neil Gay Man joke), and old white British men in general. She loves them!
