Work hates Podcast

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat to Perth based UK comedian David Hughes. David is an online sensation, his memes and tweets have reached millions of people. He is relatively new to stand-up comedy, but he’s been writing jokes for the telly and for other comedians for years. Before he found comedy, he had a string of ordinary jobs including jacking off horses, which is up there with one of the most insane jobs we’ve heard. David tells us about his time working in a shitty pub in the UK, to where he is now, performing in some of Perth’s best (and worst) establishments. We loved this chat with David, so please enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week we have the ultimate hype man, and hilarious comedian Ben Lomas. Everyone loves Lomas because not only is he one of the kindest blokes on the planet, but because he knows exactly what stories we wanted to hear. Before he was a stand-up comedian, he was a garbo where he destroyed his back and saw more European sausages than he wanted, and he was also a barkeep in a hostel bar where he scammed people out of their money and bashed a bloke who truly deserved it. He’s done it all. We could have talked to Lomas all day, so go on, treat yourself to this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

In this episode of ‘Work Hates’ we chat to UK comedian, and lifetime gypsy, Gordon Southern. Whilst it’s near impossible to put an address on the bloke, it is clear that his talent has taken him all around the globe. He wasn’t always an international comedian though, many moons ago, he was an aspiring actor charming the pants off people in hospitality, then he was the shittest fruit picker on the planet. What the actual hell are gooseberries? Gordon generously details some of the worst gigs he’s ever done, which made us cringe to no end. We loved this chat, so enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week we chat to perhaps the best bloke in the world. He’s a gentle giant who had to show Bron a photo of himself as a teenager to prove he wasn’t always a dreamboat. Ben is a successful comedian, but he also is a Hollywood actor who did most of his own stunts in a film where he fought another dreamboat. Before both of these things though, Ben became a primary school teacher, a career he dabbles in as a relief teacher. We spoke for longer than usual in this episode, and didn’t even get to some of the questions we usually ask because Ben is just that bloody interesting! We promise we’ll have him back for a Part 2, but for now, enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week we chat to Bretty’s crush and Bron’s new best friend, David Reynolds. He was the winner of the 2017 Bathurst1000, and whilst he knows nothing about cars, he’s very good at driving them fast. David shares some inside stories about what it’s like to be a pro driver, and it actually sounds way harder than you’d think. He’s not always been a big deal in the racing world though, before this, he taught flogs how to drive their luxury cars, and one time he was fired from telling a rude boss where to go. Bron and Brett only had one fight on this episode, which was genuinely surprising considering their different levels of interests in the subject matter. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’.

This week we chat to nurse and comedian, Catherine McClintock. We’ve wanted a nurse on the pod for ages, and whilst she couldn’t share all the nitty gritty details because she’s a professional, we certainly got some stomach turning stories out of her. We also learned about Catherine’s worst ever gig, which was also pretty nauseating. Our chat with Nurse Catherine reminded us to never stick things up our butts, and we’re very grateful for this. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’.

Dahn Rozario is responsible for the most chaotic episode of ‘Work Hates’ to date. Before he was an online sensation, he had a checkered work history. To paint the scene, Dahn turned up to the recording stoned out of his nut to tell us about being fired at least seven times. What. A. Surprise. He worked at the strippers, as an injectable needle hunter, and in a call centre delivering life destroying news. We learnt about how Dahn’s online content almost got him killed, and about the worst gig we have ever heard ever. Our heads were spinning after this session with Dahn, so let’s hope it was worth it. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

Sammy Petersen is a stand-up comedian and a pillar of the Australian podcast community. He is one of the most adored people on the planet, and whilst you’ll fall in love with him on this episode, he provides story after story of people being horrifically rude to him. From the time he worked at a Chinese restaurant, to the time he worked at a tourist penguin attraction, he was spoken to like he was the scum of the earth. We laughed hard in this episode, and we know you will too. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!
