The Ripple Effect Podcast

MJ is Finally Home. After 10 weeks of silence, blocked numbers, and uncertainty, Marshall shares the update everyone has been waiting for: MJ is back with his dad. But it’s not just a celebration—Marshall opens up about the heartbreaking reality of separation anxiety and the damage caused by parental alienation. In true Ripple Effect style, we mix the heavy with the hilarious (and the insane). Marshall delivers two massive "Story Time" segments in this episode: The "Robert De Niro" Taxi Ride: Marshall jumps in a cab, and within 30 seconds, the driver drops a brutal truth bomb about his marriage that he couldn't ignore. The "Turkey Baster" Lie: You have to hear this to believe it. Marshall recounts the time an ex-partner claimed she got pregnant via a "Facebook group turkey baster" to cover up an affair. We also dive deep into the Family Court system, discussing false allegations (including a horrific accusation during labor), hair follicle drug testing, and why Marshall has decided to stop fighting the system to preserve his peace.

In this short and hilarious episode of The Ripple Effect Podcast, Marshall finally unloads one of his most talked-about work stories from his Telstra days — and it’s every bit as wild as you’d expect. From climbing massive communication towers with sketchy safety standards, to hauling cables around Mount Coot-tha and launching a Land Cruiser where it definitely shouldn’t have gone, this episode is pure old-school worksite chaos. It’s a classic story of questionable decisions, near misses, and the kind of workplace antics that somehow ended with everyone walking away laughing — and no paperwork in sight. No lessons. No motivation. Just a ridiculous true story, told properly. 🎧 The Ripple Effect Podcast — real stories, big laughs, zero filters.

If you’re feeling flat, overloaded, reflective, or just need a reminder you’re not the only one carrying things quietly — this one will hit home. No filters. No fake positivity. Just real talk, the way it’s meant to be. 🎧 Healing through laughter — even at the end of a big year.
