Ep 47: Jarryd Goundrey is an Army vet who knows the G-spot is in a man’s anus.
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’. Hosted on Acast.

Ep 46: Bec Charlwood was bullied by 20,000 people
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.

Ep 45: Nat Harris had a workplace complaint about her so severe the Mayor found out
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’ Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep 44: Tom Siegart received a complaint that he stank
This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat with Tom Siegart, AKA The Suburban Footballer about some of his more colourful jobs. We were so thrilled when Tom agreed to come on because we knew he’d have a collection of employment nightmares to share, and we were not disappointed. We were surprised however with some of the content of his stories. Never has the been a more drug heavy episode, which does not align with the Tom we all know! Hilarious! Tom tells us about an apprenticeship he did four four years that ended in zero qualifications (hello scam!), and his time as a DJ where he changed CD’s in a plastic shirt for peanuts. We laughed a lot for this recording, so we know you’ll love it too. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep 43 Harley Breen was the door-to-door salesman no one wanted to see
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’! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
