Mates Talking About Stuff

Todays episode is kind of like a road trip.  We have a destination that we know we WANT to get to, but it takes us a little longer due to some unforeseen tangents.  You know like talking about Rock Eisteddfod and how Dave Hughes still likes to travel economy, when he could definitely afford the front of the plane.  Or how Christian Wilkins is the high definition version of Harley, or how Nikki's c...

Hooley dooley - it's Friday and we're so excited we're practically levitating!  Harley is back in the studio and there's plenty to talk about! Nikki has had an 'incident' at home with her robust rescue pup Malcom, Harley has discovered a new TV show to binge, and we have some... thoughts... on the recent Rebel Wilson headlines.   LINKS Harley Breen @harley.breen Nikki Britton @theni...

Covid who??  Plus we chat about good ol Queen Lizzy and her jubilee.&nbsp...

If you thought the calibre of sphincter and fart content couldn't be improved on this show, you my friend, were very wrong.  Luke Heggie has raised the roof on the fart chat today when he and Nikki reminisce on the time that they both dutch ovened themselves in a tour bus while on the comedy roadshow.  Plus Luke's also been reported for his particular brand of farts... And he introduces...

Guess who's back, back again, it's our very first guest Sam Taunton, back and ready and raring for more!  Nikki's away today so the boys will play... Or more likely talk about throwing golf clubs around, getting hit by a can of Southern Comfort and Coke at a gig, and what it's like when you break up with your therapist.  Happy Monday friends!  LINKS Harley Breen @harley.breen Nikki...

Nikki Britton is back on the road with the Melbourne Comedy Festival Roadshow and she's coming to us live from the people's republic of Western Australia!  As they say, you learn something new everyday, well on this particular day Nikki learnt that there's one country town that doesn't want ANYONE stopping by to use its toilets.  Shoutout to anyone listening from regional Australia, we r...

We're full of energy, we're full of positivity and hope and we have to talk about the election results.  As always, we preface that we are NOT a political podcast... but we have to get something off our chests for a sec, bare with us.  But don't worry, there's still plenty of tit, wang, dick and butthole chat intertwined in this episode... Because it wouldn't be our podcast without it.&n...

Happy Friday legends!  And listen up, cause if you're someone who loves a heckle when you come to a live gig, so do we!

The joys of being a parent to 3000 children.  LINKS Harley Bre...

We all saw Scotty from marketing take a tumble. We all knew we were going to make jokes about it... So here we are.  In case you have been living under a rock, Scott Morrison accidentally crash tackled a small child during soccer training on the campaign trail the other day. The kid in question is all A-okay so we're here to make you giggle about it.  Plus the Mucklord, aka our producer,...

Hello Mates! We're back and we've got a whole bag of 'stuff' to unpack! Harley's had a disaster experience with his accomodation, and Nikki couldn't be prouder to step us through her weekend activities. And of course, there's the odd mention of a butthole for good measure.  Come on in...  LINKS Harley Breen @harley.breen Nikki Britton @thenikkibritton Nova Podcasts Instagram @novapodcast...

If you're a fan of India, Ganesh, or the restaurant TGI Fridays, well strap in because there's a whole heap of unplanned chat involving those three today.  Plus Nikki's having major housemate issues that she just needs to get off her chest.

Was it planned that we would chat for most of the episode today about the behind the scenes of stand-up comedy and how the process of creating a show works?  No, of course not.  But it's a whole heap of fun anyway!  Get on board the talk train choo choo!  First up; how the Aussie stand up scene is far superior to anywhere else in the world.  Then, we take a trip to Perth w...

It's a Mother's Day special today... Because in case you forgot, heads up, it's Mother's Day on Sunday!  Nikki Britton's Mum Maz is in the studio with us and she does what all mum's do and take control immediately... which to be honest, we kinda love.  Plus there's a few awkward discussions about Nikki's parents on a trampoline, the fact that Nikki's Mum's name is the same word she uses...

Nikki has a request for Bob the Builder, aka father of 3000 children aka Harley Breen today.    It may or may not include something physical... and something to do with her stash (yes stash) of fun enhancers found in her bedroom.

If you're a regular listener to this podcast, you'll know that a lot of the time our episodes don't actually go to plan... Welcome back kids to that exact type of show!  We start out by getting to know our hosts a little bit more and their middle names, followed closely by the nicknames they received as kids.  For our main course, we venture into the weird thing that has started happenin...

The man, the myth, the legend, and also Harley Breen's mate, Russell Howard calls in to the show today live from San Francisco on his Respite World Tour.  So, of course we're only asking the very important questions... like, have you shit yourself as an adult?  Hint: All three of them have, you're welcome. Plus Russell bought into one of the weirdest wellness items we've heard of during...

If we could have just one episode that encapsulates what type of 'stuff' we talk about... this would be it.  Because if you've ever been annoyed about who the right people are to invite to a birthday party, you're in the right place!  Nikki's had to invite people to someone else's house during Covid for her birthday! Plus Harley's decided to have a 'give us money for a house' type of wed...

Someone (us) decided to let Merrick Watts back behind a microphone and if we're honest... we're so grateful!  We chat to him about how he came up with the genius idea of combining comedy and alcohol to create The Grapes Of Mirth.  Plus how he opened Harley's eyes to what man boobs and cleavage sweat are... I think y'all should be speaking to Nikki about this personally. And what it was l...

Mel Bracewell drops by the studio today, so of course we end up chatting about the 'little sibling syndrome' that comes with putting 2 Aussies and a Kiwi in a room together.  Plus have you ever wondered how comedians plan the names of their shows and how they choose their walk out songs? That gets answered for you!  And the elections been called so we just have a nice little cute reminde...

It should come as absolutely NO surprise to regular listeners today that we really struggle to get to the point that we originally plan to speak about.  But boy do we have some fun on the way!  Are you keen to chat about 80s rock ballads? Cause that's what you're going to get, plus a chat about what music we listen to on tour, and what our pump up songs are!  Shout out to Amy Shark,...
