I went back to school because turns out the podcasting industry isn't the lucrative cash cow that was promised to me. The gold rush is over my friends. Good news is, may as well keep doing it anyway! David Woodhead (Black Comedy, Be Your Own Boss) joins me to tip toe around the issue of Drake for an hour. He has a coughing fit. This episode was recorded a while ago so I don't fully remember how it goes, but I'm sure it's funny. Make sure you catch Dave at Adeaide Fringe and everywhere else.

Face of Gamergate, Ethan Simiana joins me to discuss video games and his hot parents.

26. Video Games with Ethan Simiana!

Okay so there are a couple of times in this one when I might SOUND like I'm being racist but I'm not, I watch Anthony Bourdain. I know things about culture. Great, now that's out of the way and no one's gonna post about me, this episode is great. Bronwyn Kuss (@cocotits) is not only a great comedian but she's an awesome storyteller and she takes us on a JOURNEY from a naked drum circle in Edinburgh across to the NEAR EAST, the land of SPICES and SILK (I'm not racist), INDIA, where she travels from the Nepalese border up to the Punjab and back down to Mumbai. We talk a lot about how we're NOT racist, how important travel is for privileged white people to really find out "who they are," and how I've "heard of" a lot of what she talks about, mainly through Bourdain. ENJOY ONE OF THE ONLY GOOD EPISODES OF THIS PODCAST!

25. A Broad Abroad (Part 1) with Bronwyn Kuss

 Holy shit this one is annoying. I have a blocked nose and I'm talking craft beer with Dan Dennis (@DapperDan8 / @beerbatteredboy) of the legendary Who DEM Boys? We drink A LOT of alcohol while recording this and get downright INSUFFERABLE. Dan pees a bunch, coz of all the drinks, and we talk about the great local producers like Green Beacon Brewing, Range Brewing, Ballistic Beer, and Slipstream Brewing Company, as well as awesome local craft beer bars like Tippler's Tap Fortitude Valley, Netherworld, and Brewski. Given the fact we sound like utter wankers the drunker we get, I'm not sure these guys would want us as spokespeople, but our enthusiasm is earnest. This is the most earnest this podcast has probably ever been. Coz it's an episode about getting wasted, the only remaining joy on God's green Earth. Also discussed: the body, blood, and cum of Christ. 

24. CRAFT BEER: AN INTEREST NOT AN ILLNESS with DAN DENNIS

 Joel Batham and I solve Dutton, Morrison, Louis CK, and basically every bad thing in the world on this one baby! You thought good political comedy in Australia died along with Tonightly with Tom Ballard? Guess again! Meet your new gods (me, Ryan Sim, and also Joel). We talk about our political education (lol), whether it's worthwhile being politically engaged in Australia, the idea that being a single issue voter is okay if that issue is people literally dying in offshore detention, and the biggest issue of all: where do WE as COMEDIANS stand in this discourse? Who will listen to us and give us money? We deserve it. Please subscribe to us on iTunes, and leave us a little 5 star review. 

23. These Bloody Clowns Down In Canberra with @JoelBatham

This week I'm joined by famous podcast guest & essentially unknown comedian, Nick Carr. Recognisable as the whipping boy on The Little Dum Dum Club with Tommy Dassalo and Karl Chandler, Nick joins me on my real podcast to have a real discussion about real issues (his words), those being the teen sex comedies of the late 90s and early 2000s, specifically Sorority Boys, American Pie, and Road Trip. We blame basically all of our personality flaws on these films and basically, we're perfect humans now. I think this is a good episode but who can ever be sure?

22. Teen Movies with @NickCarrComedy

This one is REAL HEAVY folks, so enjoy it or don't! I met Jen Sutton (@curlcity) when I ran a very tiny comedy room in a very tiny bar. She'd come to every show and we became friends, and she's lived a pretty interesting life. She said she wanted to come on and talk about God so we did. Gus has a guest starring role on this episode, sorry. Jen is a poet and has recently started doing open mic comedy and shes very funny. This episode is not very funny, but it's real deep and good.

21. Find Your Faith & Live It! (mental wards, regional Queensland & God) with Jen Sutton

Claudia Bergs has polio! I mean she's paleo! Your host, Ryan Sim (me) is vegan! Strap in folks, we have a real good time talking about the things we put in our mouths. She brought me macadamia nuts! We talk about racism! This episode is really late coz I was moving house and I got a puppy but I think it's really good. I don't know, I didn't listen back to me, but I'm pretty sure I didn't make any slurs. Listen! Claudia draws cartoons! Follow her Instagram @claudia_bergs

20. "Is Foraging An Important Part Of Your Lifestyle?" feat. Claudia Bergs!

Terry Pratchett, author of the Discworld series is dead BUT he was never #MeToo'd unlike Terry Gilliam. Comedian and writer @NgaioGraceJarvis joins me to brag about how she knows how to read, how gross Neil Gaiman is (we really dropped the ball by not making a Neil Gay Man joke), and old white British men in general. She loves them!

19. Terry Pratchett with Grace Jarvis

Horse-girl Aria Salan and Hentai-boy Mickey Flykick from the Ain't It Rich podcast (subscribe, rate, review) sit down with me, Ryan Sim and talk hot rods, Neon Bebop Cowboygelion, Say Anything, and their friendship in general, including "The Exploding Horse Story." Stamps dot com.

18. "An Unusually Large Amount Of Placentas" with Mickey Flykick & Aria Salan from @AintItRich

 Sam Bowden helps resurrect the podcast by talking about Arctic Monkeys and their new record Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino. I don't get it. I like Hed PE. You know, REAL music, none of this teenybopper stuff. We also talk shit on other comics, you know, a podcast, and get drunk. I'm struggling to remember how to speak on this one so enjoy it I guess. Subscribe, rate and review us on iTunes! 

17. Tha Arktik Munkeez with @SamBowden22

Well it's the most mediocre time of the year, only in 2018, it didn't fall on a day that celebrates the decimation of Indigenous culture, which means white Australians everywhere got to spend 8 hours listening to the most middle-of-the-road songs written in the past 12 months completely guilt free. Professional Comedian @JackGramenz joins returning guest/interrupter @JoelBatham to discuss their votes, the relevance of Triple J in today's cultural climate, their deceased high school teachers, and Brockhampton.

16. TRIPLE J HOTTEST 100 RECAP with JACK GRAMENZ & JOEL BATHAM

In an unprecedented betrayal, this week host Ryan Sim takes on THE STRAIGHT EDGE. Guest JOSH HOWES gives a very lukewarm defense of the subculture, and mostly the two just talk about the Australian hardcore punk scene. Ryan was straight edge for a good 10 years and then he started comedy. Josh is still straight edge but he's also from Newcastle so all his friends are on Ice, and he doesn't want to alienate them by denouncing their life choices. All in all, this episode is just two old friends reminiscing on the scene that shepherded them into adulthood, for better or worse. Josh manages the bands Cursed Earth, Easy Life and Deafcult so go buy their records and tickets to their shows.

15. STRAIGHT EDGE with JOSH HOWES

Laura Elizabeth Dern (born February 10, 1967) is an American actress.

14. STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI with JONATHAN O'BRIEN & ZAC VAN MANEN

A spooooooky and tiiiiiiiimely Halloween episode! I really like Winona Ryder ESPECIALLY when she is stealing shit. But the only thing Stranger Things stole from me was my time AND I WANT IT BACK. Come listen as I get mad about the bad show that really encapsulates the "Content" culture we're living in. Put the coin in the slot, get some candy for your brain. We're all just mice in the Zuckerberg experiment. Anyway, return guest Michelle Azevedo battles me, insults me, and resorts to name calling in her frustration, but she can Finn my Wolfhard for all I care. We talk about all the Louis CK stuff up top coz it had literally just happened and I was real mad about it. Keep listening though, most of the episode is about that dumb fucking show everyone seems to love. 

13. STRANGER THINGS 2 with MICHELLE AZEVEDO

Join your host, comedian Ryan Sim, as he tries to defend his irrational hatred of popular stuff to his guests each episode. Each episode we review the new big thing in pop culture, from TV to movies, music to books (jk no one reads books anymore).
