    TWI #26 My Dad’s A Cockroach And I’m A Solar Panel

    Send us Fan Mail We hit reset on consistency, life admin, and the weird little stories that pile up when you haven’t recorded for a while. We talk rent stress, hobbies that don’t fit the calendar, family health scares, and why a Faith No More tour feels like the final box to tick.  • getting back to regular podcasting and why consistency matters  • rent increases in Victoria and weighing up a move  • wanting to join an axe throwing league but struggling with timing  • a parent’s hospital stay and coping with dark humour  • being a full-on morning person and how it clashes with others  • Faith No More touring again and the hope it doesn’t fall through  go back and listen to them

    TWI #25 What Counts As Professional When The Crowd Wants Blood

    Send us Fan Mail The moment the crowd starts chanting “get the ref”, you know you’re in trouble. What I didn’t know was how far that chant was about to go, and how quickly a wild hardcore match can turn into something you never agreed to. We’re closing out the last part of my “shit show trilogy” with a two night Australian wrestling weekend that starts on a low note, because I’ve just brought home the ashes of my dog. I still show up to referee, thinking wrestling might clear my head, but night one already feels off: Mexican talent with a totally different way of calling spots, a loose plan, and matches where the ref is suddenly part of the action. I break down what it’s like trying to referee around that, including the head spin of working a championship match with Blue Demon Jr and being told to do things that don’t match how our crowds read a good guy and a bad guy. Then night two hits, and it’s full chaos. LA Park and his sons run a hardcore extreme rules match by feel, and I’m repeatedly dragged into stomps, whips and chops even though I’m not trained for it. When the chant turns on me, it becomes very real, very fast, and I’m left with marks I didn’t expect and a big question about professionalism, consent, and safety in pro wrestling. If you’re into behind the scenes wrestling stories, referee perspective, lucha libre culture clashes, and the messy truth of indie wrestling, this one’s for you. Subscribe, share it with a mate, and leave a review with your take: was it just part of the show, or way out of line?

    TWI #24 Goodbye Kane, The Glorious Bastard

    Send us Fan Mail We say goodbye to our dog Kane, from the late-night call and the hardest decision through to the memories that still make us laugh. We also talk honestly about telling Josh, coping with the shock, and why bringing Kane home in ashes feels both brutal and comforting.  • the 2am voicemail and why we know it’s serious  • Kane’s seizures and the decision to put him down  • waking Josh early to talk and grieve together  • favourite Kane memories, including the “tennis ball” photo  • Kane as a protective walking buddy at Lilydale Lake  • the 27 kilo lap dog who ignores personal space  • getting nipped twice and what we learn about dog safety  • re-training, reactivity, and how age changes a dog  • ashes, lead, paw print, and building a small tribute  • hinting at the next chapter of the trilogy

    TWI #23 Unicorns, Green Whistles, And A Very Bad Jog

    Send us Fan Mail I walk through the two phone calls no parent wants, as Josh dislocates his knee at school, starts recovering, then does it again after his surgery gets cancelled. It’s a messy mix of ambulances, scans, crutches, co-parenting decisions, and the sick feeling of watching your kid hurt while you try to stay useful.  • racing to the school while Josh screams in pain  • paramedics, the green whistle, and getting him home safely  • urgent care, X-ray, crutches, and the push for an MRI  • specialist advice, keyhole surgery plans, and early signs of improvement  • the surgery cancellation after MRI reassessment and the relief that follows  • the second dislocation at school and the trip to Box Hill Hospital  • the dunk tank jog decision and my unfiltered reaction  • keeping the next specialist appointment and preparing for changed plans  So stay tuned and we'll find out what happens next, and let's see if Josh can keep his knee in the f*****g joint for the next bunch of weeks.

    TWI #22 We Test AI Music Then Talk Camp And The Storm Loss With Josh

    Send us Fan Mail Dave and Josh jump from Phillip Island camp memories to a Broncos win at Amy Park, with plenty of family roastings along the way. We also share how we used Google Gemini to create new intro music, then finish with a ridiculous radio gag that somehow ends in Pineapple Pen.  • Joshua’s Phillip Island camp recap, including the giant swinging bike, flying fox and archery  • The circuitron explained as best as possible  • Mini golf at Grumpy’s and the surprise pickup moment  • Using Google Gemini for Viking-themed podcast intro music and new logos  • First live rugby league match at Amy Park, Broncos vs Storm and the game-day spectacle  • The packed train home and whether live footy is worth it  • “Nothing Short Of Shit House FM” skit and the Pineapple Pen request  Leave a comment and just tell me something. Just let me know who's listening. I really would love to know whereabouts in the world you're from, who's listening, what parts you like, what parts you don't. It would just help me to help you. Okay, so jump on board. Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, name it, I'm there.

    TWI #21 Cheesy Toasties, Suplexes, And Trying Not To Complain

    Send us Fan Mail We catch up on life getting busy, missing a week with Josh while he’s at camp, and the joy of a bus-stop tackle that resets everything. We share our low-key Valentine’s ritual, react to Danhausen’s WWE debut, reflect on reffing chaos, and land on gratitude over gripes. • slipping from fortnightly to monthly and choosing balance • Josh’s camp week, the bus-stop reunion, co‑parenting rhythms • Valentine’s traditions with cheesy bacon toasties and a March do‑over • first thoughts on Danhausen’s WWE debut and character build • reffing BCW as the lone official and aiming for 25 years • perspective from a mate’s house fire and vet bills • choosing empathy, dialing down complaints, remembering the good

    TWI #20 From First-Day Nerves To Velocipastor: A Gen X Dad And Son On School, Sanity, And So-Bad-They’re-Good Films

    Send us Fan Mail We trade first-week-of-high-school nerves for belly laughs, swap old-school wagging myths for modern tracking jokes, and then crown VelociPastor as the reigning champion of beautifully terrible cinema. Between the cracks, we find a way to make chaos feel lighter and growth feel possible. • starting season two later than planned due to life • school holidays and a quiet, off-Facebook birthday • Joshua’s first week at high school and getting lost • no physical map, near-miss with first class • friends help socially more than with directions • dad’s cautionary tales about hating school yet coping • jokes about wagging, tech, and being “tracked” • B‑movie challenge revived and rules of trash cinema • VelociPastor plot breakdown and micro-budget chaos • why bad movies reset expectations and spark joy • sequel hype and finding humour in disaster

    TWI #19 A Blunt Take On Resolutions, Family Photos, And Letting Kids Grow Up

    Send us Fan Mail We choose joy over resolutions and admit it will take a fight, then ride through holidays, work shifts, and a kid inching toward high school with humour and heart. Josh jumps on the mic for mini golf wins, guest ideas, and our plan to make conversations easier to join. • picking happiness and resolve without resolutions • Christmas lights ritual and the teen years creeping in • working Christmas Day in full Santa mode • Boxing Day family dynamics and rare group photos • quiet New Year shaped by sensory needs • Josh joins for school holidays and mini golf • building a simple two‑mic setup for guests • wish list of friends and family to invite • teasing a two‑year plan and a quirky song pick Don’t forget to follow me on all the social media
