Ep 84: David Quirk learns that we don’t edit this podcast

On this week’s episode of ‘Work Hate’ we are joined by Comedian, Actor, Skateboarder and recent facial scar enthusiast, David Quirk!! Quirky has done everything in the comedy game and has been doing it for over 20 years. He is one of the best and such a fun chat.  David tells us about having sex with a man in a spa on camera (apparently). Bron bombs on stage in Pakenham (apparently). And Brett has a wildly inappropriate conversion with a multiple award winning actor and international Super Star (not apparently). We will have to get David back on because we have only just scratched the surface of all the insane things he has done at work.For an ad free episode and extra bonus content sign up to our patreon!

EP 82: Daniel Connell went from fixing bikes to toilet paper nappies on stage in Europe

On this episode of ‘Work Hates’ we chat to writer, comedian & recent State of Origin Loser, Daniel Connel! Dan has been one of the hardest working comedians in the industry for years. He is always touring and always crushing every time he steps on stage. Is there anything he can’t do? Turns out he hates working in kitchens, isn’t great at  fixing bikes and loves a “punt” just a little too much. Do yourself a favour and sip on lime milkshake while you listen to this week's podcast.

Ep 80: Nick Capper was shot by his workplace bullies

On this episode of ‘Work Hates’, we chat to our dear friend and fellow comedian, Nick Capper. We mean this when we say this is going to be the first of many episodes we will have this lunatic on because his employment history is the most mental you’ll ever hear of. Capper takes us on a walk down memory lane where he found himself working in Thailand as a reggae boat guide, which was about as bonkers as it sounds. He also shared how he worked at a paintball place where he was shot violently by losers which was about as humiliating as it sounds. We loved this chat with this great man.

Ep 79: R-Willy smashed his own teeth out

On this episode of ‘Work Hates’ we chat to scooter King, X Game Gold Medallist and the face of action sports Ryan Williams, AKA R-Willy. This is a little different to our usual comedian guests because he isn’t a comedian, but similar to the comedians we have on, his work history was pretty limited. R-Willy made a name for himself before he had to get a real job, and he’s been so successful that he will almost definitely never need a real job. Bretty was so starstruck for this episode that he barely spoke, and Bron unashamedly didn’t know who he was or that grown men rode scooters so she asked questions that embarrassed Bretty to no end. We loved this chat, and we know you will too! Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’.Make sure you check out nitro circus new show " Off The Rails" its gonna be awesome!

Ep78: Tommy Dassalo quit a shit job and had to ask for it back.

On this episode of ‘Work Hates’ we talk to comedian, podcaster and cartoonist Tommy Dassalo. We both assumed Tommy had a very brief history with employment, but it turns out the bloke has not only worked, but he’s worked at some really god awful places. From a well known burger place where he had to wear a bandanna, to working with a fellow who hated him, poor old Tommy has been through the ringer. Come for the shitty work stories, and stay for the dreadful gig tale he has, where he had to do a three hour putt-putt corporate where he ate shit for the entire gig. Horrible for him, paradise for us. We love this man, and we thoroughly enjoyed this recording, so go on, treat yourself and get stuck into this episode of ‘Work Hates’. Hosted on Acast.

Ep 77: LIVE in Melbourne with Emma Holland and Guy Williams

Again, unlike Adelaide, we could release this one! Success! This Melbourne audience was treated IRL to Guy having a mental breakdown on stage due to Brett’s wildly inaccurate assumptions of him, and Emma made everyone scream with laughter.

Ep 76 Urvi Majumdar had to flirt with men to sell lingerie

On this episode of ‘Work Hates’ we chat to standup comedian, actor and teacher, Urvi Majumdar! Urvi may have started her career as a teacher, but thanks to giving up on appeasing her migrant parents, she followed her dream of becoming an artist! She has her own television show on ABC called ‘Urvi Goes to an All Girls School’ which is incredibly funny and a terrific insight into her background. Her first job saw her working in a lingerie shop which was just as awkward as you’d imagine, and her worst bombing story had us cringing like mad. We love Urvi, so enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

Ep 75 Jenny Tian used to get slammed for a living

On this episode of ‘Work Hates’ we chat to online sensation and hilarious standup comedian, Jenny Tian. She explains how frozen yoghurt is made, and the best way to get fired from a frozen yoghurt place. We were shocked to learn about the scam her uni was running, and why you should give call centre people a conversation rather than slamming the phone down on them (Bron will never not do this). We loved this chat, so enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep 74 LIVE in Melbourne with Broden Kelly and Sez

Unlike Adelaide, we can release this one! We had a bloody excellent time with Aunty Donna’s Broden Kelly and the internet’s favourite public toilet reviewer, Sez. The audience was a sea of good timers who gobbled up Broden’s tales of employment misadventure and Sez’s insane stories of nudity. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’! Hosted on Acast.

Ep 73: Daniel Muggleton is the lawyer who couldn’t cut it in the fast food industry

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat to the red adidas tracksuited comedian Daniel Muggleton. He has one of the sharpest tongues in the industry and he scares the shit out of hecklers. Before he was a successful comedian, he was a rich boy who did a law degree for fun. We loved hearing about his hospitality failures as well as the cringe gigs he’s experienced, especially the one at Tamworth Country Music Festival. Yeehaa! We had a great time recording this one, so enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ep 72: Rachael Hornbuckle pumped blood into limp willies

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat with nurse and comedy up and comer, Rachael Hornbuckle! You might not know her name yet, but you will soon, this is one funny bish. Rach is a qualified nurse, and she spent her medical career doing a range of interesting jobs including erectile dysfunction (be mature guys). She tells us about a heinous boss and also about some of some awful gigs she’s had to experience. We loved this chat with Rach, so enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’! Hosted on Acast.

Ep 71: Chloe Petts was punched in the face for trying to help

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat to UK comedian and global legend Chloe Petts. She’s a regular visitor of Australia because we love what she does, plus she’s an excellent hang. Before she was an internationally successful comedian, she worked with homeless and underprivileged people which makes her a much better person than both Brett and Bron. Chloe may sound posh but she has cleaned shit off walls and assures us that she’s as working class as they come. We loved this one and you will too! Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

Ep 70: Urzila Carlson gets grabbed on the fanny heaps.

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat the the biggest superstar in the southern hemisphere, Urzila Carlson. She’s fresh off the back of starring in a blockbuster film with Amy Schumer and her international standup tour is selling thousands of tickets on the daily. Urzila is a big deal, but she’s humble, kind and generous with her time, which made us love her even more. Her job history is pretty breezy, but her experience with grabby audience members and unsolicited nudes took the wind out of us. Straight women, there is a very powerful message in here directed at you, so listen carefully! We loved this recording with Urzila Carlson, so enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’! Hosted on Acast.
