    123. The Invisible Hook & Kitchen Confidential - RMT Book Club!
    May 25 2025
    This week I decided to sit down and yap about a couple of books that I have read this year, I'm trying to be more proactive at reading books instead of doom scrolling on the phone or playing video games, other stuff like that we use to space out. This time I talked about The Invisible Hook by Peter Leeson, a book about the economics of Pirates, and also Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain.

    122. Talking Wrestling & More with Mudit Mahajan
    May 18 2025
    This week I'm joined by Mudit Mahajan, a young lad from the Auckland comedy scene. We worked together a bit a year or so ago on a project and I've caught him at The Classic a couple of times. We had been meaning to have a proper chat about wrestling for ages so decided to do so on the podcast! Sorry if you're not a wrestling enjoyer, but next week I'll be back with my Book Club talking about The Invisible Hook and Kitchen Confidential.

  • 121. What I'm Grateful For & Lessons Learnt After 2 Years As A Freelance Entertainer

    121. What I'm Grateful For & Lessons Learnt After 2 Years As A Freelance Entertainer
    May 11 2025
    It's here! My reflections on what it's been like working as a freelance entertainer for the last 2 years. I broke this one down into things I'm grateful for and lessons learnt. And there were a lot more lessons learnt. Hope you enjoy it!

    What I'm Grateful For:
    • I've paid all my bills for 2 years off the back of telling jokes and reading quiz questions
    • I've begun to get some response from the content I'm creating
    • I'm feeling more connected in my communities
    • The podcast has been a very good networking tool
    • Second comedy special was received very well, nearly at 10k views.

    Lessons learnt:
    • Success is not going to make you happy
    • You will be told "no" more times that you can count, get used to it.
    • Therapy is worth the money
    • Idle hands are the devil's plaything
    • Crumbs make crumbcake
    • The cavalry is not coming to save you
    • You can never predict what's going to happen, curve balls will constantly be coming your way
    • Even with a dream job, you're still going to have shitty days
    • When it's going well, it's never going as good as you think it is, and when it's going bad, it's never going as bad as you think it is.
    • "Bush was terrible for the world, but great for punk"

    120. Da Movies, Comedy & Manic Impressive with Tristan Miller
    May 4 2025
    It's my 2nd anniversary since going full time as a comedian! I was planning on doing an episode full of reflection and evaluation, but the week got away on me and so I've bumped up this episode instead. This week I'm delighted to be joined by comedian Tristan Miller, based up in Auckland originally from the US. Tristan brought a list of tiny joys for us to discuss, as well as comedy, culture and of course Da Movies. I've been a guest on Tristan's podcast twice now which you can catch here!

    119. Pro Wrestler Kawa Kupa & His Manager Archie Bower
    Apr 27 2025
    Well there's a first time for everything and today's the first time I've had guests walk out on me during a podcast! Today I interviewed Unified Championship Wrestling's Light Heavyweight Champion Kawa Kupa and his manager Archie Bower. We got into how Kawa started wrestling, how they started working together, Kawa's attitude shift as of recently, what moves are the best to hit and which ones hurt the most, and then at the end I said something that set them off and they ended the interview early.

    You can get tickets to see Kawa Kupa defend his UCW Light Heavyweight Championship at the next Unified event, Frostbite on the 24th of may, tickets from https://championshipwrestling.co.nz/products/frostbite

  • 118. April & Leland From Crime To Burn's Tiny Joys

    118. April & Leland From Crime To Burn's Tiny Joys
    Apr 20 2025
    Today I'm joined by April and Leland from the Crime To Burn podcast, a true crime podcast that focuses on crimes involving fire including arson and criminal negligence. April and Leland have been super supportive of my podcast and they often share my posts so I figured it was well overdue for me to try and help promote them a bit! April genuinely works in the fire safety industry so it's a really well researched podcast. We went through some of their tiny joys and in general chatted about arson and fire safety.

    Listen to the podcast at www.crimetoburn.com or on all good podcatchers!

  • 117. The Best Chicken Chips in Christchurch (ASMR)

    117. The Best Chicken Chips in Christchurch (ASMR)
    Apr 13 2025
    My friend Jarrod Cook and I decided to sample as many of the different flavours of Chicken potato chips that we could find in Christchurch and figure out which one was the best. We also made an unexpected stop in at the Christchurch City Libraries book fair at Pioneer stadium where we collected some books. This episode is definitely one of the weirder one I've done, and I wanted an ASMR element with the crunching of the chips towards the end of the episode. I hope you enjoy it!

  • 116. Cobra Kai & The Karate Kid Recap (+ Life Update)

    116. Cobra Kai & The Karate Kid Recap (+ Life Update)
    Apr 6 2025
    I recently finished the series Cobra Kai and was hit by the sudden realization of how much time has passed since I started watching in around 2019 which was when I had just got back to New Zealand after living in Japan. I suppose you would call that my "Spool of wire" moment, look it up on tiktok if you have no idea what that is. This is a solo episode where I go through a bit of a life update, what's changed in the 7 or so years that this TV show has been running, my thoughts on the show, the ending and just the Karate Kid franchise in general and why it's rather meaningful to me. Please note big spoilers in this episode.
