    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.

    114. Turning Tragedy Into Comedy with Dr. Jo Prendergast
    Mar 16 2025
    Comedian and Author Dr Jo Prendergast joined me on the podcast today to talk about the process of turning something tragic, in Jo's case a breast cancer diagnosis into something funny, which ended up being her show Cancer & Cartwheels which she's currently touring. Jo talks about what it was like going through Chemo, she explains what Cold Capping is, and talks about at what point did she start to try and turn it into a comedy show.

    Content Warning: Some heavy topics such as Cancer & Death are discussed.

    Jo is currently touring some of the Australian festivals with Cancer & Cartwheels.

    The easiest way to keep up with Jo and find her on social media is by visiting www.drjoprendergast.com
