Can't Get Any Worse Podcast

We kick off with the most unhinged Valentine’s Day message you’ve ever heard (Daddy’s little pot pie is CRAZY), before school pickup humbles me in hi-vis when my own kids question whether I actually work hard. Nothing like a six-year-old performance review to keep you grounded.Westy makes an interschool sports team… volleyball. Not soccer. Not baseball. Volleyball. I’m supportive, I’m proud, I’m also emotionally confused.Then we throw him a birthday sleepover with the one kid at school who collects broken bones like Pokémon cards. Area 51 was booked out so we panic and take them to Bounce, aka Orthopaedic Surgeons’ Christmas Party. No injuries (miraculously), but I do discover kids don’t know how straw dispensers work and that a free jug of water now counts as a prize.Migraine Sunday leads to a chaotic massage experience that nearly rearranged my nose permanently. Unhappy ending. Structurally aligned.In comedy this week: Newmarket Hotel was a proper crush followed by a subtle drive-by from the MC about “young comics,” and The Comedy Cellar had me slightly in my head but still swinging. Plus we meet Girth Brooks, Bronk Legsnar, and a kid whose prank on the wrong woman will haunt him forever.Life’s good. Life’s weird. Life’s hi-vis depression and trampoline liability waivers.And remember… if you think it can’t get worse, it probably can.Follow the chaos: Instagram: @jimmymissen TikTok: @jimmymissen YouTube: Jimmy Missen#comedypodcast #standupcomedy #australiancomedy #dadlife #parentingpodcast #rawcomedy #brisbanecomedy #goldcoast #comedian #podcastlife

Life’s been doing back-to-back combos this week… but we’re still here 😤We kick things off with ya boy getting his STD results back (good news for once), before heading into a fancy weekend away that immediately exposed how little Nikita and I belong in luxury hotels. From fake accents and a bartender walking backwards, to realising I’m tough enough for boxing but absolutely not a scary train ride.There’s parenting chaos as Parker introduces me to his new best friend “BIAKE”, a feral skatepark kid nearly ending Westie’s X-Games career, and Westy accidentally becoming a professional basketballer on $50-a-basket wages.We also cover cocaine Chihuahuas, why I’m convinced the podcast is cursed, migraines making a comeback, and a proper reset on where my focus needs to be moving forward, stand-up first, everything else second.Plus: Raw heat update, surviving another comedy comp night, Spotify bringing back 3x speed (thank God), and a questionable family movie recommendation.Turns out… it can always get worse. But we keep showing up.Follow the chaos: Instagram: @jimmymissen TikTok: @jimmymissen YouTube: Jimmy Missen#comedypodcast #standupcomedy #australiancomedy #dadlife #podcastlife #rawcomedy #goldcoastcomedy #nutritionwarehouse and #nutritionwarehouse_nz #anabolix #anabolixweekend 

This week it truly turns out, it can get worse. From drinking out of my own malfunctioning toilet, to accidentally joining a religious cab sermon in Sydney, to getting spiritually and physically confronted at the gym.We cover Sydney chaos, UFC encounters, hotel wins, public transport losses, gay sauna confusion, kids saying wildly unhinged things, nightmares, early-morning gym delusions, and why Summer Heights High might be the greatest (and most unhinged) thing Australia ever produced.Plus: my week in comedy, first time at The Cellar since the rebrand, live music between sets, and why playing it safe annoys me more than bombing. We wrap it up with UFC Sydney, Volk doing Volk things, and a reminder that no matter how bad your week is… it can still get worse.🎧 New episode out now.Follow / stalk me:Instagram: @jimmymissenTikTok: @jimmymissenYouTube: Jimmy Missen#comedy #australianpodcast #standupcomedy #dadlife #ufc #sydney #comedian #lifepodcast

This week on the pod I’m joined by Matsen Jasch from Cool Dad Collective, one of the funniest and most relatable dad creators going around, and someone I’ve been chatting with online for years, so this one felt more like two mates catching up than an interview. We get into dad life, raising kids while trying to stay sane, content creation, and how Cool Dad Collective grew such a massive following by keeping things real and funny. Matsen also opens up about his background, running his own podcast, and something new he’s been flirting with lately, stepping into the stand-up comedy world 👀🎤. Plenty of laughs, plenty of dad chat, a bit of fight talk, and just all-round good vibes.You’re gonna enjoy this one. Follow Matsen & Cool Dad Collective:Instagram – @matsenjaschInstagram – @cooldadcollective Don’t forget to share the pod with a mate and send through any submissions via DM or at cantgetanyworsepod@gmail.com. #CoolDadCollective #DadPodcast #DadLife #AussiePodcast #ComedyPodcast#StandUpComedy #ContentCreators #UFCChat #WrestlingFans#Fatherhood #ModernDads #PodcastLife #CantGetAnyWorse

This week, Turns Out, It Can Get Worse somehow finds new depths.I get roasted by a basement-dwelling “boy kisser,” my son accidentally makes a Rest In Peace video for our very alive dog, and a baby voice nearly derails my authority as a father. Things spiral at work after an innocent Google search turns into full-blown HR material, I accidentally catfish the comedy world with a fake Netflix announcement, and I’m physically assaulted by a portaloo flush.There’s servo scams, pangolin porn, breaking 20s like a criminal mastermind, and one of the worst hecklers I’ve dealt with in years, complete with a handshake and a cancer announcement mid-set.Plus: rooftop comedy chaos, casino parking inspectors on the prowl, UFC 324 fallout, Netflix recs you should actually watch, and a late-life appreciation for Matchbox Twenty.It’s messy. It’s dumb. And yes, it somehow gets worse.Follow / Watch / Listen:Instagram – @jimmymissenInstagram – @cantgetanyworsepodcastYouTube – Cant Get Any Worse PodcastTikTok – @cantgetanyworsepodcastSend submissions:📩 cantgetanyworsepod@gmail.com#CantGetAnyWorsePod #JimmyMissen #ComedyPodcast #AussieComedy #AustralianPodcast #DadLife #StandUpComedy #PodcastLife #UFC324 #ComedyClips #IndiePodcast #GoldCoastComedy #LifeGetsWorse

This week I’m back breaking down UFC 325, with the UFC finally bringing a massive card back to Sydney, and Volk headlining on home soil in a huge rematch against Diego Lopes.I run through every single fight on the card from the early prelims to the main event, throwing out questionable predictions, underdog sprinkles, and absolutely zero financial advice.On top of that, we get into all the latest UFC news and gossip, injuries shaking up divisions, weird matchmaking choices, fighters calling shots online, and the usual conspiracy-adjacent chat that somehow always makes sense at the time.As always, I wrap it up with another edition of the “Can’t Bet Any Worse” multi, because learning from past mistakes has never really been my thing.Got a story or question for the pod?DM me on Insta or hit cantgetanyworsepod@gmail.comJimmy MissenInstagram – @missenjimmyFacebook – CantGetAnyWorsePodcastInstagram – @cantgetanyworsepodcastYouTube – CantGetAnyWorsePodcastTikTok – @cantgetanyworsepodcast#Podcast #JimmyMissen #CantGetAnyWorse #UFC325 #Volkanovski #SydneyUFC #MMAPodcast #ComedyPodcast #UFCAustralia

This week on the pod, I’m joined by Andrew Taylor, the founder of Brisbane-based brand LIVECO, and a bloke I’ve wanted to sit down with for a long time.We get into everything from the original idea behind LIVECO, finding suppliers, going back and forth with manufacturers to get the exact product he wanted, and what it really takes to build a brand from scratch. Andrew opens up about personal branding, the power of collaborations (including working with Troy Candy), and the behind-the-scenes moments people never see.We also talk mindset, business lessons, being part of One Life Club with Emil Juresic and Simon Beard, and I personally thank him for the time he’s spent helping me with my own personal brand.It’s business, branding, life chat, but still light, fun, and full of laughs.Big episode. Let’s get into it.

Got absolutely smashed by life this week but we’re still clocking in, no days off when it comes to public service podcasting. We kick things off with a fresh Turns Out, It Can Get Worse, including the life-changing discovery that customer service improves the second you stop doing drugs, plus a bloke who thinks he’s part lion (meow included). From there it’s a slow descent into realising I’m officially that dad to the neighbourhood kids, why a Y-shaped stick is elite childhood technology, getting handed a straw at Newmarket like I’m made of glass, and a servo cone lady who deserves her own current-affairs special. There’s a quick hit of joy with scoring UFC Sydney tickets before we wrap the chaos with My Week in Comedy, Newmarket, Eddie’s Grub House, Miami Marketta, Big Fork, bombs, wins, panic, recovery, and one crowd member named Attila who accidentally stole the show. Music, pods and culture to close it out: Stephen Wilson Jr, Lonely Island greatness, and Theo Von doing what Theo does best. Share it with a mate and send your Turns Out, It Can Get Worse submissions via DM or cantgetanyworsepod@gmail.com Jimmy MissenInstagram – @jimmymissenPodcast Instagram – @cantgetanyworsepodcastYouTube – Cant Get Any Worse PodcastTikTok – @cantgetanyworsepodcast #Podcast #ComedyPodcast #JimmyMissen #AussieComedy #DadLife #StandUpComedy #AustralianPodcast #FunnyStories #CantGetAnyWorsePod #UFCSydney #WeekInComedy
