We are back!
And for the first episode of 2024 I have Te Waiarangi Ratana and Jackson Herman! Two guys that toe the line between the film world and the world of stand-up comedy. Both have worked with some of the biggest names in film including James Cameron and Peter Jackson.
Te Waiarangi has been recently showing his newest short film 'Honey Kaha' with several of Aotearoa's best up-and-coming comedians playing roles throughout
And this episode was originally recorded on December 23rd, so Christmas is on the mind. This show as always is recorded at the Wellington Access Radio studios and is first done as a live radio show. So sorry if you hear us talk a bit about the music in there but it's all part the fun.
Thanks for listening and I hope you keep coming back for 2024!
Stoked to have one of the most interesting people in the Wellington scene join me for this weeks podcast!
I'd known that Rachel had done a ton of travelling and wild experiences but it wasn't until researching and chatting with them that I got a vibe of how wild some of her life has been.
A guest I would love to have back to touch more of their life another time.
If you wanna catch the show they're promoting it is
The Wellington Comedy Club Rainbow Showcase - May 15
Tickets available on the NZ Comedy Fest page
The Vanguard of Vaudeville himself joins the show!
Trent H Baumann is one of the most travelled and accomplished comics in the Wellington scene. Having a wild ride into the world of entertainment, starting out in the strip malls of Surfer's Paradise and going round the globe with his thoughtful and whimsical style of performance.
I really enjoyed getting to know a bit more about Trent. He and I have done quite a few shows in Wellington and you can see much more of his shows through MONFU - the production company he and his wife Sachie run in Wellington.
See Trent in the NZ Comedy Fest! 'Stop the Noise. Listen to the Music' - Wellington, 14-18 May, Bats Theatre
We welcome back the first guest to ever be on this show!
Itay and I had just finished a 3 night run at the NZ Fringe, which included a couple of wild nights. Each show with him is very different so I'd recommend seeing him anytime you can. His usual spot is The Classic in Auckland but you can see him each Tuesday at Il Brutto running a great gig down there.
If you're in Welly and wanna catch him he'll be opening for Jack Ansett - What's Everyone Having For Dinner? in the NZ Comedy Fest, or a crowd work show, 'Crowd Pleaser' only in Auckland.

Kia Ora we are back!
It has been a busy run of festivals and fringes and gigs. But what an episode to come back to!

Sowmya Hiremath is Wellington's best stand-ups and nicest people. Everytime me and Sowmya chat I end up learning so much more than I expected. This episode wasn't meant to end being so heavily revolved around arranged marriage but it was pretty fascinating to have it go that way.
If you wanna see Sowmya she has an upcoming show with Samantha Hannah called Sisters. Get your tickets at Fringe.co.nz
We are doing an episode almost entirely about consiparacy theories and alien interactions. Last time Zach and Leki were in the studio the most exciting part of the chat was when we started chatting aliens. So this week I decided we'd commit a whole episode to some of the strangest stories out there and it did not dissapoint.
Part of what makes this such a fun chat is the fact these two will spend hours devouring some of the strangest stories online and coming in with a bunch more info than your casual fan.
Make sure to catch Zach at AirHorn! each first Friday of the month at Newtown Community Centre and buy tickets to Leki's Fringe show Moonlight Leki during the NZ Fringe Festival
You don't just become the second biggest skuxx's on Google you have to work for that honour and this week I speak with two of the hardest working people in that game with comedians Kipling DC and Keegan Thomas.
We play 'Skux or Yucks', get pretty analytical on the best BYO's around Wellington and maybe break the record for more 'x' sounds made in a podcast.
Check out their show in the fringe Skuxx Delux, Feb 16,17,18 at Cavern Club - Tix available on the Fringe website
or Get the final few tickets for Don't Quit Your Day Job - Feb 16-17, Bats Theatre, 6pm - Tickets at Bats.co.nz
Two of the funniest people in Wellington join the show this week to talk about some of the weirdest jobs they've had inside and outside the business of show.
A strange role in an unmade movie, love advice in a morph suit, and the very extra role of a Wellington fat-berg. We cover a bunch of wild stuff in todays show and there is even a couple fun facts in there at the end for the fun fact fans.
The three of us are all working together on a show in the upcoming NZ Fringe called Don't Quit Your Day Job and tickets are still available at the Fringe and Bats websites now.
Recent winner of Celebrity Treasure Island James Mustapic joins myself and good friend of the show Booth the Clown to talk psychics, NZ celebs and a bunch of Celebrity Treasure Island.
This was the first time I'd ever watched NZ Celebrity Treasure Island and turns out Booth was the same. If you're a fan of the show we get behind the scenes a little bit with James' experience being on the show as well as chatting a lot about his early experience in the world of YouTube and highs and lows of hanging with some NZ's most iconic cultural icons.
We've got two of the wildest performers in Wellington in the house tonight.
Known for their crazy antics in shows such as Wet Soup and their own podcast Muunboot, improv duo Mo and Ralph come in and join the show to talk about a bunch of cool stuff. Including Christmas shopping, whoa, I know! What better day to release an episode about Christmas than boxing day itself. This is the stuff that makes the guy running this show a genius. That, and getting one of the guests name's wrong right at the top of the show. Mensa hit this guy up now.
But overall a super nice chat with two really funny people.
If you wanna see them they'll be on at the NZ Fringe Fest
Mo and Ralph: Chaos Theory - Feb 29-Mar 2 - 7:30pm
as well as their podcast:
Basejumps Comedy Pod Oven
Two high-octane comics in the house tonight! Not only are they comedians they perform in the air on the street, all over Aotearoa!
Joana Joy aka Banana Jolie comes into the studio and talks about their life in meditations coming into their shows, aerial performance, and how they were destined to perform since childhood.
Also Booth joins us once again, now good friend of the show Booth also was a trailblazer performer since being a kid and with a bunch of hard work since then has made their way onto 3 podcasts! Wow, isn't life crazy ay?

These two guests hit the Wellington arts scene in so too many areas to count!
Self-described 'Gay-of-all-trades' and Swiftie Hadley Wilson and Singer/Author/Comedian Clara Van Wel join me in the studio this week.
In this episode we talk more about Taylor Swift, Musical Theatre, and matchmaking than any episode before. So for all you who keep asking, you're welcome. Not only did we chat about it, we probably got the two best in the bizz to chat about it too.
Clara also touches on their band Rocket Berry who you can check out on Spotify now and follow them

Another episode with some of the most experienced comics in Wellington (Plus tall child Kipling DC)!
A lot of comics in New Zealand will have had the pleasure of beginning their comedy careers under the education of Neil Thornton who has been in the comedy game for many years and now runs the NZ Comedy School with students from all over the country.
Jojo Bellini will also be a familiar name to anyone whose attended a burlesque or cabaret show in Wellington over the past few years having dipped her toes into a number of different scenes throughout New Zealand and across the globe.
Also joined by now friend of the show Kipling DC who likes to be called Big Dog and has made that quite a large part of his personality.
Look out for all three of these stars who will be a large part of the NZ Fringe in 2024!
We are back with another episode of The Other Day!
And today it is just myself and the often imitated, never replicated Leki Lyons. This episode we talk a bit about each others lives and families, and to be honest keep quite a chill tone throughout.
Myself and Leki recorded this episode quite early on in the lifespan of this show, so it was a pleasure going back and hearing this with fresh ears again.
The shortest episode because it was recorded as a filler for when I might be travelling around the country - but it is packed with punch and a little more info about the show's most tenured guest
As always thank you to Wellington Access Radio.
This show is recorded live each week Friday 6-7pm on Wellington Access Radio 106.1 fm
What a Dope As show! It is lucky episode number 13! And the unlucky nature of the number lines up with edgy nature of the show! If you're Blenheim and are over 73, you might wanna give this one a miss!
Hoani and the 'podcast's best friend' Leki Lyons are joined by the dopest comedians and producers in the Wellington scene.
Daniel John Smith and Anya Rzhevitskaya run the Drug of Choice production company and live up to the name they gave it. These two have been running gigs around Wellington for several years and we get into stories about the country about their lives and talk a decent amount of trash about Blenheim.
Check out their gigs at Drug of Choice on Facebook
What a crew for this ep! I'm joined by the fantastic Jak Darling & Alayne Dick!
Jak Darling is a comic known for their style of comedy and honestly just for their incredible style. Mixing in music, sketch and the absurd.
Alayne Dick is also a stand-up but has been in the improv game for much longer, a member of one of the best improv groups in the country Tiny Dog!
These two are some of the most fun and silly comics in Wellington and were so cool to have in the studio definitely a joy doing this one!

Alayne Dick - IG: @alaynekat
Also Alayne is in the band Bored Housewives Club!

Another week, another guest and another episode of The Other Day!
Hoani is joined by local comedian Dan Boerman, we chat about the interesting takes he had on how to punish yourself for a bad joke, his previous life in a metal band, and a little brush of alien talk. Also on is show regular Leki Lyons and he talks about adjusting to life in the Hutt, his complicated relationship with the oldest looking cat you'll ever see and a couple stories from being in Samoa.
In the words of Britney Spears 'Oh baby, baby' and she also says something about accidentally doing something again. But the release of this podcast was very intentional. Oh Baby Baby!
To get this podcast started was a venture of it's own. Once we got that bad boy started we didn't stop 'till we couldn't talk no more. Being able to do a show with two of my good friends Fin McLachlan and Booth the Clown.
We chat work stories (but interesting ones), bad shows, our lives (ergh) and despite a massive struggle to say the word entrepreneur, I still manage to insult the guest coming onto my show. One day I might work on that. I might not. But this show is already done so there's no changing this episode regardless of my steps towards affability.
A very fun and laugh-packed episode today. Enjoy, go wild, go crazy. Lose your mind with the joy from this show. Just another great ep, you know?
Believe it or not we did it again, and we hitting you with the most content for an episode we've ever had.
Sammy and Kipling join me on the show and we go more spaces you than you can find on Google Maps (Assuming your Google maps is only showing Edinburgh, London and Wellington).
Each episode I feel like we find a more niche area to get into and this one is no different. I will also update everyone on if my parents know Kipling
Shout out as always to Wellington Access Radio for letting us record there.
