Your Hobby is Shit

This week I’m joined for a chat by the legendary Sydney comedian Mick Meredith where we chat about his passions and hobbies including, painting, music, personal training and comedy.

I’ll also demonstrate the perverse skill of drawing alarmingly long bows to suit your own agenda, in the process looking at toxic femininity and the psycho shitshow that is Hollywood.

There’s the pure unbridled joy of live music, the tragic death of Taylor Hawkins, anniversaries, Buddy Franklin and incredibly, an actual grownup retires from tennis.

Listen up!

This week I delve into bogan baby names and the clowns responsible for them. The AFL season has begun like an episode of MAFS, I look at the medieval hobbies that changed Henry VIII forever, the joys of panic attacks, workplace stress, gutter journalism and token progressives.

In even better news, tickets are now on sale for my Sydney Comedy Festival Show and you can click on the link below to get some.

I chat to comedian Steve Philp this week and he shares one of the best stories you’ll ever hear about Shane Warne that doesn’t involve the cricket great’s tockley or mobile phone.

We also discuss Philpy’s craft beer fanaticism, Keith Urban and for some reason Michael Bolton.

I also take a look at divorce - ‘till hatred do us part’, Colombian rites of passage, Melbourne the comedy capital of the world, airport extortion, cabbies and of course, ticketed funerals.

Shane Warne's entire life was like most of our best weekends. It's been a sad week for cricket hobbyists with the passing of both he and Rod Marsh.
In this episode of Your Hobby is Shit I look at Warnie and try to work out if he was as good a bloke as his mates reckon and discuss what legacy beyond his cricketing achievements he leaves behind.
Also, Mardi Gras, sniffer dogs and the unhinged Pete Evans.

Lycra-clad clowns continue to disrupt the sleep of people all over the country, nowhere more so than in the Sydney suburb of Malabar, home base of Your Hobby is Shit.

Whilst severely impaired by alcohol I discuss targeted responses and petty acts of revenge against these public nuisances with none other than cyclist, comedian and podcaster Luke Heggie.

There’s also, financial hopelessness, why some shouldn’t smoke weed, temper tantrums and how babbling is a proven path to success.

The bastard who wrote JAWS Peter Benchley certainly has a lot to answer for. With a tragic shark attack taking place a couple of hundred metres from YHIS home base last week I discuss our fear of sharks. Is it rational or irrational? Also, the crazies who love rock fishing and why I’m not quite as keen on snorkelling as I was a week ago.

Some excellent listener feedback comes from Adam in Melbourne and the carnies in Canberra claim to have been targeted by the government.

This week on Your Hobby is Shit I have a look at Super Bowl Sunday and how almost every year an exceedingly tedious sport takes a backseat to television commercials and halftime entertainment.

You don’t have to be smart to think, but if you think you’ll be smarter, particulary before you open your mouth. This is a lesson Joe Rogan and Jordan B. Peterson failed to heed when launching into one of the most idiotically nonsensical conversations ever recorded.

And for the romantics I’ll have a look at the money-making potential of Valentine’s Day.

Plus, car crashes, cookers and carnys descend on Canberra.

Knowing your limitations is important, otherwise it could be Whoops for you and others.

This week on Your Hobby is Shit I look at how people (often famous ones) conflate having a skill in one area with being able to do whatever the hell they want.

Panel shows, stand-up comedy, the Winter Olympics, true crime enthusiasts, cricketers, actors and the carny cooker convoy to Canberra all cop some attention this week. Listen up!

The kids are finally back to school, but that doesn’t mean the remaining belligerent bozos of the world stop making life difficult for the rest of us.

This week on Your Hobby is Shit, finally the tennis is over and I look at the AFLW, religious bigotry, upmarket eateries, television gameshow hosts and pillow fighting.

Also, the prediction of someone bagging the new Australian of the Year comes true, how and why conspiracist nutters demand you listen to them and some  unexpected victims of the week.

Listen up!

This week on Your Hobby is Shit I look at how Triple J listeners dismantled the credibility of The Hottest 100. There's also, music aficionados, cave diving, Grace under pressure, healthcare workers and Australia Day chaos. Sadly, tennis gets another mention too.
