Mates Talking About Stuff

Apparently a couple in the USA reckon they've found the secret to a happy marriage. 13 years worth of a happy marriage to be exact!  It consists of a series of rules and let's just say we don't exactly agree with them... aka Harley wants to rip them to shreds! In the funniest way possible, of course.  And see if you can pin point the moment Nikki starts to hit the jet lag wall with this episode. ...

It's a strange day for many today with the news that Queen Elizabeth II has died.  We wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the constant presence she has been through some of the most turbulent times in history.  Plus Nikki's back from Edinburgh!!! And we're recapping the highest of highs and the lowest of lows that she went through! Happy Friday legends!  LINKS Harley Breen @harley.breen Nikki B...

We're bringing you two of our favourite and possibly funniest guests that we've had on this show, Mr Merrick Watts and Mr Russell Howard!  We chat through the Grapes of Mirth idea with Merrick plus the first time Harley saw him perform and what it's like doing comedy to troops in Iraq.  And the incredible Russell Howard chats about the weird things he purchased during the height of COVID, and we a...

One of us may or may not reveal our vigilante status on todays show!  But not before we unpack a revenge story coming out of Far North Queensland... and can we just say Jenny is now Nikki's favourite person!  Side note: We do not condone any form of illegal revenge or illegal activities on this podcast.  Happy Friday legends!  LINKS Harley Breen @harley.breen Nikki Britton @thenikkibritton Nova Po...

Big news coming out of Mates HQ today! A lucky member of the team has scored themselves a smooch.

If you like hearing some bickering from your favourite mates which makes you giggle out loud, then this episode's for you!  Nikki and Harley are going head to head to decide which of Australia's biggest thing is the best... Round 1: Banana vs Pineapple *ding ding* And Nikki's been having some problems with her renovations, so she needs to let out a little bit of steam...  P.S Keep an eye out for a...

We're feeling very nostalgic today, so we're bringing you the creme de la creme of our chats with a best stuff episode!  Nikki's Mumma Maz joins us in studio and immediately takes over the full chat.  We also find out she's an amateur radio host & Harley realises something a little bit embarrassing about her name.  Plus, we're re-living some of the worst Airbnb's we've ever stayed in!  Happy F...

We're heading to the land of magical creatures today! Because we've found some rare (and most definitely, 100% real, not at all under scrutiny) audio of Bigfoot, direct from Ohio!  Which of course leads us into a chat about the mystical gremlins that clearly live in Nikki's microphone and some fairies that live inside Harley's daughter's nose... Yes this is incredibly serious and top shelf content...

Ever wondered what a comedian would do if they weren't a comedian?  Apparently one of our mates would be a local farmers market seller, and another would be a florist crossed with a personal investigator? Confused... Same!  Plus we talk around the fact that locals in Denmark have threatened to egg Jeff Bezos' yacht... and tbh good energy!  And apparently Nikki and Jeff Bezos have something in comm...

Kia Ora and Halò, we've gone fully international today!  Nikki Britton has made it to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival while Mr Breen is filming in New Zealand... but they didn't get there without hiccups.  Like the fact that an international airport is basically like getting lost in Narnia, Harley having to declare his special shampoo, and both of their bags getting searched due to having suspicious...

We get a little bit sentimental in the second half of the show today after we heard a story about a girl who's date drove off on her before it had even begun.  You might learn a little bit about us, but also hopefully you get the reminder that you need for your Friday... You're a unique badass, who's pretty damn great!  Oh don't worry, there's also still lots of LOLs, especially when we find out t...

A genius woman has decided to troll her husband by giving him a whole heap of 'punny' gifts after he's gotten a vasectomy.  So of course we jump onboard this train and chat all about whether it's time for Mr Breen to get one himself!  Plus, apparently some people are comparing being kicked in the nether-regions to child birth! Which Harley's son Walter decided to help test that theory on his Dad. ...

Look, you know we're always open and honest on this podcast...  So today we're being honest and telling you that this is the ACTUAL first episode recorded after Nikki has returned from Splendour in the Grass 2022.  So you best damn believe we have the best recap of all time.  You want mud? We got it.  You want broken phones? We got it.  You want stories about people just loving on each other We go...

We may be too old for Splendour, but we're not too old for Tik Tok apparently because that's where all of our stories are from today!  A 22 year old in the UK has compiled a list of reasons why she doesn't want children, so we decided to run them past our resident child-having expert, Harley Breen, to see if they're worthy or not.  Plus there's a lot of reasons you can use to attempt to get out of...

Happy Friday legends!  And happy start of Splendour to those who celebrate, like our very own Nikki Britton.  Speaking of... are we too old to be wading through mud at a young persons music festival?  Plus JLO and Ben Affleck are hitched!  So let's have a chat about ex's... Would you go back there? Could you work with them again?  Believe it or not, yes, we do ACTUALLY stay on topic today!  LINKS...

A certain store has decided to up it's prices when it comes to the humble weekend charity sausage sizzle, and boy do we have something to say about it.  Plus shoutout to all the netballers! We see how much effort you put in to the organising of events!  And we're back with our favourite animal segment 'Ark Up' and todays focus is on geriatric animals!  LINKS Harley Breen @harley.breen Nikki Britto...

Harley's farm adventure has well and truly influenced the episode today!  If you're a fan of chickens and want to know all about their laying patterns and how their eggs come to be... well my friend, you've come to the right place!  Usually we are the LAST place you would turn for actual true facts on a subject... but you might actually learn something.  Plus Nikki's had a run in with a medicine b...

We're going on an adventure today... to Harley's brother's farm in regional QLD.  Harley's been helping out, driving trucks and finding our amazing listeners.  Plus we have a chat about what time is the best time for a wedding ceremony, and whether monkey rides should replace pony rides.  LINKS Harley Breen @harley.breen Nikki Britton @thenikkibritton Nova Podcasts Instagram @novapodcastsofficial...

It's what you've all been waiting for... Nikki Britton has been caught in the middle of a dog trainer war.  Who will she choose? Who's in the wrong? What's Harley's brilliant, unique advice... Find out right now on Mates Talking About Stuff.  Plus we also chat a little bit about a new flying hotel idea which frankly we can see absolutely no problems with... NOT  Happy Friday legends!  LINKS Harley...

Welcome back to another epic week of talking about stuff with your mates.  Today, Nikki lets us into the world of painting objects while being absolutely off your face Drink Responsibly  And how she's ended up being the therapist of a group of middle aged women.  Plus Harley's out on the farm, in his element might we add, and yet he's managed to run into Elvis AND David Bowie! (pssst not really, b...

Look, it's not really any surprise that we absolutely ADORE goats on this show. However today is not about a real goat in the studio (although the offer is still open if someone wants to help us out).  Today is about the things that are 'getting our goat' at the moment, also known as, Nikki has a ranty.  First cab off the rank is the terrible people she's run in to on Bumble lately and how it's pr...

Australia... home to 21 of the 25 most deadliest snakes in the world, famous for the green and gold and also lover of big things.  Today, we discuss which of our 'big things' are the shittest and why. All thanks to a public poll on the 'Sht Towns Of Australia' Facebook page.   From the big potato which looks scarily like something that came out of Harley's rear, to the worlds tallest bin - which t...

We're taking a trip down memory lane today and reminiscing about our first gigs.  Nikki's was a RAW comedy talent show that one of her friends signed her up for!  Meanwhile Harley's first gig had something to do with rehearsing in his Dad's church and randomly performing on the set of Scooby Doo the movie, all while Isla Fisher made some VERY suggestive comments... All in the day of Mr Breen right...
