Long time coming this chat... Friend of the podcast and cold water enthusiast Mr. Jack Watts joins us for a conversation today!

Jack has an infectious energy and his new podcast, the Overly Excited Podcast is probably a very apt description of the man! He is also the founder of Skwosh with one of our favourite souls Jack Stubby Turner! 

Murph gets into the ups and downs of Jack's football career, one that was nearly the most remarked upon of any player in the last decade and not with a lot of understanding and support. He has grown into his true self though and can find some success and happiness where he is now. He's a gem, big thanks to Jack for joining!

We hope you enjoy!

We are lucky to talk to so many incredible people for the podcast, and today's guest is one of the most infectiously positive and energetic people and we absolutely are all about her... WNBL's biggest grin, Bec Cole. 

Amazing conversation, Bec shares her experiences around her biggest dips on her Mental Health journey and speaks to her legacy she wants to leave. She is making the game better for her being there and it's so nice to hear how proud she is of hers and her teammates. 

Enjoy our chat with Bec Cole!

Our chat today is a special one. A chance to catch up with each other during this Mental Health Awareness month and we reflect on the 2 week journal challenge. 

It is so nice to hear the introspection Murph got from the journalling, even if he didn't make it the 2 weeks straight and to be honest it doesn't matter. To come out the other end and be more understanding and have grown a little make's it all worth it.

We are joined by Nova breakfast radio host, 1 third of Liam, Ben and Belle... Liam Stapleton! 

It should come as no surprise that Liam is an incredibly well-spoken man and quickly became the best host of the Men of Words in his episode! 

This was a big chat, so nice to hear stories and perspective of someone who has such a close professional relationship, working with his broadcast partner and best mate Ben for so long now. Hearing about the real world effects of people's online bullying is a pretty stark reminder that people in the public eye are people all the same. 

Liam is a jet. A soccer fan, a dog fan and a fan of telling stories, big to love to him for coming on! Enjoy.

Australian Comedian representing us in the US... Monty Franklin joined us for a chat on his recent stand-up tour of Australia. 

Monty (no surprises) is a funny fella! Not to mention he is sitting on the script of the century, making a movie called the Great Emu War with comedy legends in Australia next year! 

Monty can speak to the grind of making a career out of comedy and the value in being a good bloke. There is no longevity in being a bad person as he will tell us about. 

Big thanks to Monty for a chat, can't wait to see his work on the big screen, please enjoy our chat!

Back again with the 2nd MoW mini conversation with the fellas. Today we find ourselves overwhelmed with gratitude and pride in some of the feedback we have received for the pod and share a couple of our favourites. 

A new challenge... hence the title '2 Weeks' 

We have set ourselves a little 2 week positive habit challenge in which we will be journalling everyday for 2 weeks. This is a favourite of ours but like most good habits for us, is hard to maintain. This will be a little inflection point to reset, start it up again and see how we feel after a couple weeks. 

We hope anyone listening is inspired to find something they know is good for them and give them selves their own little 2 week challenge!

Our chat today is with Australian & Torres Strait Islander artists Busby Marou. 

Tom Busby & Jeremy Marou are 2 parts of the all time duo, responsible for one of the all time great Triple J Like a Versions...! 

The fellas are touring this year and joined us in Melbourne on the couch, decked out in the "Rockhampton safety boots" (thongs) defying the cold weather. 

This chat was just Michael with the guys, and how lucky he was to get some amazing parenting advice and hear about what their music means to so many Australians. What an honour to host the guys and we are also excited for their Album BLOOD RED, streaming everywhere now!

Our inaugural chat in the new studio is with Australian Singer Songwriter, winner of the Voice 2022 and friend of the pod, Mr. Lachie Gill. 

Lach is a gem! He's an incredibly driven guy and is working hard to make his dreams of a life in music a reality. 

Lach opens up about some of his insecurities and how he has struggled with his own Mental Health in recent times, how he is working through it and ultimately how he is in a strong place with a great set of supports around him.

Big love to Lach! Find his music anywhere you stream and enjoy our chat with the man himself, Lachie Gill.

Today's chat is with founder of the Kindness Factory, author and soon to be legendary drummer Kath Koschel! 

Kath's story is amazing. She is one of a few people to be told twice that she'll never walk again only to defy the odds, she has travelled the country on the kindness of strangers and now travels the world sharing her story and passion for life as a speaker for the Kindness Factory. 

This was a book recommendation that turned into a chat that turned into a friend and someone we admire, we want to thank Kath for her time and energy and please enjoy this episode of the podcast!

In this conversation we discuss parts of Kath's story that are sensitive and may be hard for people to listen to so we recommend discretion for this one. Please know that there is always someone to talk to and always support available.
