This week on ‘Work Hates’ we recorded in Adelaide during the fringe festival with Australia’s best boy Cam James. He’s gone viral for his hit song ‘Medium Dick’ and his standup tours sell out nationally, but before this success he used to work at a theatre restaurant, which absolutely cancels out anything impressive he has ever done or will do in the future. This theatre restaurant was like an Aldi version of Draculas if Aldi was filled with sex pests, shit food and illicit drugs. He also worked in a factory where he told a nepo baby to shove his job up his arse, which was awesome, but again, doesn’t distract us from out how embarrassing his theatre restaurant job was. We bloody loved this chat with Cam James and we know you will too, so enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat to comedian and fashion icon, Jess Fuchs. Jess sheds light on what it’s like to be a medical receptionist, and we were flabbergasted. She was the lady who you had to speak to when you were at your most vulnerable state, and instead of being kind, she was a massive moll. We asked her why all medical receptionists are heartless bullies, and her explanation was perfection. If you have ever been belittled or disrespected by a medical receptionist, and of course you have, listen to this episode. We also talk about comedy, but that goes without saying. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

It was time to do an episode with just us, Bron and Brett just in case we had any sore points we wanted to tend to without making a guest uncomfortable. If you’ve ever wanted to hear how a comedy show is made, or our fears around making our current solos, this is the episode for you. We love making this podcast, and in this recording, we love each other (which is a rumour everyone should start spreading). Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

We took ‘Work Hates’ to a sold out audience in Brisbane and it was bloody amazing. Not only were the audience so good, but our guests Emma Zammit and Peter James were hilarious. Emma shared how being a randy little floozy got her fired from Macca’s, and Peter explains why he cried whilst dancing with seven-foot dogs. Bron and Bretty were particularly mean to each other, so really there is something for everyone in this episode. We had the best time of our lives in Brisbane, and you’ll hear that when you listen. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we finish our Brisbane trip with one of our all time favourites, Shad Wicka. Shad has been a standup comedian for years, and he is one of the best emcees the country has to offer, but he hasn’t always done this job. Before this he was training his dog to poo in funny places, which sounds like a silly thing to do, but you just wait and see how handy that was for him. Shad has one of the most insane stories about how he got fired from his dream job because the PM couldn’t take a joke. You’d think he would have better things to do, no? Anyway, it’s a story unlike any other we have heard on the podcast, so don’t you dare miss it. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we found ourselves in Brisbane, which meant we had to catch up with Queensland’s most unhinged psychopath Jack Knight. We were desperate (and a bit nervous) to hear what kind of job history Jack had, and he didn’t disappoint. He is an army veteran who isn’t a stranger to disappearing into a forest for six months at a time because he gets sick to death of people. So yeah, he’s normal. Highlights are his time as a fencer where he fought a junkie, and also his worst gig ever, where a woman accused him of having a vagina. Powerful stuff. We loved this chat, so go and learn something by enjoying to this episode of ‘Work Hates’!Make sure you support us on Patreon!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we have a yarn with Australian comedy icon and fittest man in the world Merrick Watts. The bloke has been on Australian radio for decades, and that is not because he knows how to stick to a budget. Merrick is a classic larrikin who has caused quite a lot of headaches for people, both from stress and booze. Just when you think he is good at everything, Merrick explains that that before comedy he was a failed tradie who was bullied relentlessly on site, which was music to our ears. You’re not allowed to be funny, hot, fit, loveable and handy - it’s the law. We love this bloke, so enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat with Australia’s favourite ex-crim. After spending time in prison for dealing exorbitant amounts of illicit drugs, Andrew changed his ways and became a stand-up comedian. He tells us about what it was like to be in prison, why you should avoid the ‘bone yard’ and how it was actually a really positive experience for him. This is a great episode, especially if you want to know why in the peak of his wealth he drove those tiny GoGet cars instead of anything you’d expect a drug dealer to drive. We loved this chat and we know you will to. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’! 

This week we continue our stint in Sydney with one of our favourite comedians of all time, Kate Dolan. Originally from the UK, Kate chose the most expenny city in Australia to start one of the hardest careers: standup comedy. Bretty puts his foot in it INSTANTLY when he lists one of her achievements as being ‘a wife’, and he will never live that down. Kate has had every job under the sun, from a dreadful scam artist at a call centre, to an after school care worker, and it’s safe to say she won’t need to do any of that stuff soon because her trajectory is BRIGHT. We both loved and hated hearing about her worst ever gig with misogynistic coke-heads, but the best part of this episode and of Bron’s life was when Kate got Bretty to do an Anastasia impersonation. We loved this episode more than life itself, so go treat yourself and relish in this week’s ‘Work Hates’!
