Okay… am I super late to the party or is Denver International Airport actually the weirdest place on Earth? Like—why is no one talking about this?? From creepy murals to underground tunnels and a giant blue demon horse with glowing red eyes (seriously, Google it), this airport is giving full X-Files meets The Sims 4 build mode.

In this episode, I fall headfirst into the wildest rabbit hole—asking my conspiracy theory mates (who somehow had no idea this even existed?!), digging through the theories, and wondering why Netflix hasn’t already green-lit a 10-part docuseries. What’s being hidden? Who built it? And why is the airport’s own PR team leaning into the conspiracies?

Okay, I never talk about politics on this podcast… but how could I not with this? As of June 6th, 2025, we’re watching history unfold like a real-life episode of Game of Thrones—but swap swords for subpoenas and dragons for private jets.

The world’s richest man, Elon Musk, is in an all-out battle with the world’s (former?) most powerful man, Donald Trump. Elon just accused Trump of being named in the Epstein files. Trump wants to deport Elon. And my mate told me six months ago this was all part of a master plan: get rid of Trump, slide in JD Vance, then have Elon and Peter Thiel running the show behind the scenes.

Back then, it sounded like wild Reddit theory stuff… now? Maybe not so wild.

I break it all down, try to stay humble (I don’t claim to be a political expert!), but I am a curious bloke who loves unpacking weird, world-shifting moments—and this one’s got it all.

Tune in, take it with a grain of sea salt, and let’s tumble down this rabbit hole together.

This week, we proudly enter our Park Theme Era — but let’s just say… it didn’t go quite as planned. Picture this: we’re buzzing with excitement, up at the crack of dawn, and standing at the gates of Movie World on the Gold Coast an hour early like two hyper little theme park disciples. 

But what followed? Pure chaos.

Think less “Hollywood magic” and more Fyre Festival with rollercoasters.

From dashed dreams to dry churros, shady signage to soul-crushingly closed rides — we were used, abused, and emotionally bruised by what should’ve been the happiest place in Queensland.

Tune in as we spill the popcorn, drag the experience to hell and back, and try to laugh through the trauma in our most unhinged theme park review yet.

Warning: Contains strong opinions, crushed childhood dreams, and one very sad photo with Bugs Bunny.

Ever felt personally victimised by your TV subscriptions? SAME. In this episode, I let it all out – the rage, the confusion, the betrayal. I’m talking about the endless platforms, rising prices, and how I now need a spreadsheet just to watch a sitcom. 

This is my official therapy session, and lucky you, it’s free to listen (unlike literally everything else these days). If you’ve ever yelled “WHY is this not on Netflix anymore?!” or had to sign up for a 7th free trial just to finish a series, then this episode is your soul food.

Grab a snack, cancel a subscription (or seven), and join me for a deliciously relatable rant. I feel better already. Thanks for being my emotional support listeners.

Ever worked in hospitality and felt like you were stuck in a never-ending episode of Groundhog Day? SAME. In this episode, I take you behind the scenes of my chaotic (and hilarious) time working in restaurants and bars — where boredom inspired absolute madness.

I’m spilling the tea on how I would spice up the endless shift grind by putting on completely random accents and convincing tables I was from far-off exotic lands (spoiler: it got weird).

I’ll also share the wild tactics we used to get stubborn customers OUT of the restaurant after closing time — no shame, no rules, just pure survival mode.

And to top it off, hear the true story of how some drunk, pretty girls were bullying an awkward guy at the bar… and how we decided to flip the script and turn him into the star of the night.

It’s messy, it’s chaotic, it’s hospitality life at its unhinged best. Let’s get into it!

Ever been to a comedy night that felt like a fever dream? I did — inside a casino, no less. This week, I’m dishing all the chaotic, hilarious details about my trip to a stand-up show at Star City Casino on the Gold Coast — a venue that looks like a sci-fi church designed by someone mid-mushroom trip.

The comedians? Genuinely brilliant. The audience? A glorious mess of tipsy tourists, freebie-chasing locals, and people who may have taken a wrong turn on the way to the pokies. It’s like a comedy club met a reality show and no one told the crowd.

Why is the weirdest audience also the best audience? Is free stand-up a magnet for beautiful oddballs? Tune in and find out why this bizarre night might just be every comedian’s wildest dream (or mildest nightmare).

This week, I’m reaching into the archives — like way back — to share something that means a lot to me. 8 years ago, I made a short film. I was fresh into the acting world, full of hope, nerves, and a deep sense of “who even am I?”

As a young Aussie actor, I quickly discovered that being born here didn’t always mean I “looked” the part. I wasn’t the stereotypical blonde-haired, blue-eyed beach boy — and that reality hit hard when I kept getting rejected for roles that supposedly represented the very country I grew up in. Ooft. That’ll shake the ol’ identity tree.

This short film was born out of that confusion, frustration, and (let’s be honest) a good splash of imposter syndrome. I thought I was the only one feeling this way. Turns out? Nope. A whole lot of us are on this emotional rollercoaster — questioning our worth, our place, and whether we belong in an industry that often forgets to tell us: “Hey, you’re enough.”

So, in this episode, I’m sharing the words I wish I heard back then. The ones I needed. The ones that still hit me in the heart today. This is for any actor out there feeling lost, doubtful, or like they’re the only one struggling — I promise you, you’re not alone.

Why haven’t we found aliens yet? Like, seriously—where is everyone?

In this episode, I dive into the Fermi Paradox, which is basically a fancy way of asking: If the universe is so big and full of stars, why does it feel like we’re the only ones home? I break it down in the simplest way possible—no science degree required.

Whether you’re an alien enthusiast, a deep thinker, or just curious about our place in the universe, this episode will leave you with more questions, a few theories, and a brain slightly more stretched than when you started.

So there I was, minding my own business in the gym sauna, when in walks a man who looked exactly like Daniel Craig. The piercing blue eyes. The chiseled jaw. The undeniable aura of someone who’s either saved the world or at least ordered a very specific martini. But when I casually asked, “Are you…?”, he hit me with some Oscar-worthy improv: “Oh no, I’m just a professional poker player.” Mate… that’s literally too close to Casino Royale!

Was he undercover? Was this a rogue MI6 mission? Or was Daniel Craig just having a bit of sauna banter with me? Either way, I choose to believe I had a steamy run-in with Bond himself.

But beyond my brush with espionage, this episode is also for you if you love striking up random, unexpected conversations with strangers. I’m sharing my top tips on where to go if you’re looking for spontaneous, hilarious, or downright bizarre chats with interesting people.

Welcome to this week’s off-the-wall episode, where we dive into one of Sydney’s most infamous and utterly baffling cases. First, we revisit the legendary scandal when a mystery culprit turned a customer’s ice cream into an unappetizing surprise—an act of pure mischief that erupted after a family grumbled about the pub’s blaring music and a missed football match on TV. 

The plot thickened when, just as the ice cream debacle faded into urban legend, a new wave of shenanigans hit the rental market: random poops in toilets aimed at scaring off potential buyers and renters.

Who is behind these cheeky attacks? Is it the mischievous real estate agent, rebellious tenants, or perhaps a ghostly trickster from beyond the property line? While the identity remains a mystery, one thing’s clear—it’s grossing everyone out and shaking up Sydney’s housing scene in the quirkiest way imaginable. Tune in as we unravel this peculiar puzzle, share outrageous theories, and laugh at the absurdity of it all.
