Description
Men's mental health - why the f**k is this topic so hard for us dude's to talk about?!
Award-winning Comedian's and long-time friends Kelvin Wescombe & Dylan Stewart pull no punches as they record their unscripted chats to help keep their sanity, whilst keeping each other accountable.
With both battling different mental health issues their goal is to help normalise this kind of yarn amongst men.
Both brutally honest and tongue-in-cheek, this podcast will hopefully help others as much as it's helped them, to keep going one day at a time.
Each Ep is done in one take with zero pre-planning.

Who is Nigel? And what happened to his ring piece? There is only 1 way to find out, download and stick it in your ears!
This episode gets a bit heavy as we discuss drug and alcohol use.
Also, we discuss the potential of group therapy and start a hunt for help.
If you know a good group therapy option for men in Palmy please let us know!
Episode 51 and we are coming to you live from the garage studio!
This is a bit of an emotional episode and we open up about our feelings. Maybe some triggers here so be warned.
We get a bit deep and meaningful about the fight, the struggle, and the loneliness.
Kels also updates us on hospital life on day 82 of the stay at Château de l'hôpital (that's French for The Hospital Castle, cause we are like so totally fancy) including being yelled at for others parking, and listening to his room mates poop.
Fun fun fun.
Stick around after the closing for a little bonus clip (audio from Only Fools and Horses, Season 4 Episode 2)
Peace!
Its episode 50!
Yes 50 episodes in we are still here and still pumping out the best podcast in New Zealand*
This week Dylan gets unreasonably mad at a whole race (and not the one you think)
He also retracts several statements he made in his excitement.
Plus Kels and Dylan update on both their mental health and Kels cheers 50 episodes with a special lime milkshake
*This is based on 0 fact and it most likely is not the best podcast. But we like to think it is!

Dylan has 3 things to cover:
Props
Apologies
Reviews
What are they for? Only one way to find out is to stick us in your ears and give it a listen!
OMG Kels is back in the studio! He escaped the hospital for a few brief hours to lay down some audio gold!
Kels updates you on his health and what is going on, and his slow road to recovery.
He also lets you know about the awesome hospital kai he is getting, his stubbornness (or resilience), and how he will not let it impact his mental health. This is a great inspiring chat about internal strength and how it can keep you going in your hardest time
Dylan updates on his marriage and what has changed. It might be a little shocking for some, but it's about love so deal with it lol. Dylan and his wife have REALLY opened up the communication lines and opened up about their sex life.
Plus another Chinese restaurant review! Tasty Restaurant this time.
Big thanks to those who have been sending kind messages to Kels, and about the podcast overall!
OMG Kels is back in the studio and updating on his health! Recorded over the weekend, Kels got a weekend pass from the ward and wanted nothing else to record for you fine fine people (and you are looking fine!)
We talk about fights out our 21st birthdays and Dylan talks about a bad food experience at a local restaurant.
We then go on a rant about white honkeys.
Hey... do you like the pod? If so do us a solid and tell a friend! Let them know and spread the word!
We have Poet, Comedian, Artist, Photographer, Cancer Survivor, Dad, Husband, and all-around good guy Richard Dryden in!
We have been trying to get Richard on the pod for some time and he finally caved!
Richard tells his tale of his battles with cancer, and how it changed his life! He has a great outlook on life, and is funny as the day is long!
We know you will dig this one.
By the way, if you got a story to tell, get in touch! Would love to hear from you

Words will never express how amazing this was to record!
I am not even going to let you know what this is, you simply have to listen to find out!
Unbelievable! Miracles happen, this is proof!
Good god!
Just AMAZING!
In this episode, Dylan is joined by fellow Comedian Therese and Musician Earla while Kels returns to the hospital for more plastic surgery!
Earla has recently released her first-ever single Anxiety (you can find this on Spotify here) which she wrote in the last lockdown. (and youtube here)
She dives into her struggles over this time with mental health and her day-to-day life with her cool-as-beans partner.
Her good friend and fellow comedian Therese is with her, with her own unique story to tell! Therese started in comedy under her character Doreen Van Dam, a choice Westy Bogan Bad Ass! But she now hits the stage as herself, and is still a comedy Bad Ass!
Loved recording this episode, and watch this space, as we will try and get them both back soon!
We also look at some similarities between music and comedy (we both write, we both perform!) and how recording music and doing stand-up has given us all the strength we need in a day
Plus we ask a new question we want to ask every guest! Gotta listen in to know more!
We hope you dig this one in your ears as much as we did!
BTW this episode was recorded on our NEW microphones! Would love to get some feedback on the sound quality
Thanks!
Happy Birthday Kels! Dylan hears a crazy rumour about Kel's birthday antics and decides to tell him the goss . He did not, however, expect Kel's reply to be an admission of guilt! This yarn is a goody, as Kel's walks us through the night before. A night that included drinking too much, breaking the law and how one small plastic bag changed the night completely! Plus Dylan recalls some of his own past experiences with different things that also come in bags. We look at some of the things on our Bucket List, dream travel destinations, and Dylan talks about his all-time favourite magic trick that involves butterflies, orgasms and popstar Natalie Imbruglia!

OMG we are in 2023.
And still (just) alive! We go over our horrible new years and what stopped us from recording.
We also try and bluff our way through our favourite movies and TV of 2022, including Kels FINALLY watching The Soprano's, which is still the best tv program ever made.
Look after yourself, and remember to stay hydrated!
This a Short and Sweet episode to catch you up on what's going on.
Both D and K have some stuff in their lives at the moment making it hard to Pod, but we don't like to leave you out of the loop.
But don't worry new we planning to record on New Years Eve! So stay tuned!
