Work hates Podcast

This week we celebrate 50 EPISODES of ‘Work Hates’, and who better to celebrate with than Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes. This man is Australian comedy royalty, with one of the most distinct voices on the planet, but more importantly, a work ethic that is incomparable to any other. Hughesy comes from a working class family in Warrnambool, and the way the man hustles it would seem he hasn’t shaken that identity even in the slightest. The man WORKS HARD! From working in an abattoir to being a bricklayer’s runner, he isn’t afraid to get uncomfortable. In saying that, he has been fired from everything except comedy, so it’s bloody lucky his comedy career took off. We had a hoot chatting with Hughesy, so treat yourself and enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we have a yarn with comedian, actor and online sensation, Aaron Gocs AKA Gocsy. We were over the moon when Gocsy agreed to coming on the podcast because this is a man who has a resume longer than the Bible. You may know him from his famous corn video where he was eating corn whilst wearing cornrows and listening to Korn, but he has more skills than that. He’s done everything from being a security guard at teenage birthday parties, driven a taxi, acted in a Ford ad and removed rubbish people’s yards. He’s a jack of all trades, and he has the optimism of a saint. We love Gocsy, and you will too! Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat with television presenter, comedian, mother and a pillar of Australian entertainment, Julia Morris. She has been in the industry for (in her words) “75 years” so she has seen more dreadful gigs than anyone in the world. Her career has been spectacular from the outside, and her tenacity has allowed her to stay in a profession that has been infamously unenthusiastic towards women. Julia has been thrown under the bus on national television by colleagues in search of a leg-up, and she has also embraced younger talent wholeheartedly. This is a self-made woman who walks into a room with her heart on her sleeve, and even though she may not remember anyone’s name, she is absolutely willing to pretend she has. We could have spoken to Lady Julia Morris of Gosford for hours, so you’re in for a treat. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’.

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we speak to military veteran turned comedian, Jarryd Goundrey. He served seven-years in the army and he has two busted knees, impaired hearing and a bucket load of stories to prove it. Jarryd has willingly been tear-gassed, he’s almost drowned in a water submerged helicopter, and he’s learnt exactly what to do if the Taliban capture him. He shed light on ‘military groupies’ who are willing to jump into the boot of a car if it ended in a root at Duntroon, which Brett respected and Bron didn’t. We haven’t had a soldier on the podcast before, and this episode quickly became one of our all time favourites. Strap yourselves in, and enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’.

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat with comedian, Triple J host and ultimate sweetheart Bec Charlwood. We couldn’t believe our luck when we nabbed Bec for the pod because not only do we love her, but we knew she would have some properly unhinged stories for us, and we were spot on. Bec has a special out on YouTube called ‘Bipolar Baby’ that has gone gangbusters, but before she was a successful standup comedian, she was a Perth pest leaving strange notes on her boss’ desk and shagging blokes on the beach. UNHINGED! Just when we thought we couldn’t love this woman more, she tells us the story of her worst ever gig, and we don’t think anyone will ever top it. You’ll love this one, mates. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat to Nat Harris, ‘Triple R’ breakfast radio host and comedian. Nat has a long history with the cafe industry in Melbourne, and we quickly learn that the effervescent energy she exhibits in comedy was not exactly there when she was making coffees. She moved from flat whites to working at the council where she came to realise that even the worst of cafe customers couldn’t compare to the absolute psychos that call the council to complain. Nat shared her worst ever gig, which happened to be in Edinburgh Fringe which resulted in her almost crying on stage, followed by a brutal review by a hateful mongrel. Nat is a breath of fresh air, and we pity the fools that ever cross her in the future. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat to one of the best blokes in the country, Harley Breen! You all know him as a brilliant comedian, radio host, television presenter and new age hippy, but we reveal that he used to be a bloody pest of a door-to-door salesman. NO THANKS! He has always chased the dollar, even from an early age he fashioned a trailer to carry the newspapers he was delivering, which makes him sound both innovative and a million years old. We discuss cars a lot in this episode, so Bron was well out of her element, and Bretty brings up the 1800’s heaps, so it’s safe to say we were all confused in equal measure for this one. Heaps of fun was had, so enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat with Jay Morrissey, co-director of the highly acclaimed film ‘Emu War’. He explains the tormenting process of creating a film from scratch, which made us appreciate his hilarious movie all that much more. Before he was a filmmaker, he had a number of ventures, including stand-up comedy and working at the casino. Considering the amount of times Bretty has been kicked out of casinos, it was a Christmas miracle Jay had never had to eject him himself, but that really speaks to how bad he was at his job. We loved this recording, so treat yourself and enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!
