Ruddle Me This! with Taylor Ruddle TapeDeck Media

This week I'm joined by stand up comedian, fledgling journalist and just all around lovely guy, Brodie Hunter! We have a chat about his studies as a journalist and then move onto talking about Reality TV, we chat about the early days of MTV's reality tv programs, keeping up with the kardashians, jersey shore and then move on to the king of reality tv - survivor! This podcast is gradually becoming a survivor podcast, it would seem.

Brodie's a very sweet and insightful guy, you can follow him on instagram @brodiehunter01 to keep up with his escapades!

This week I'm joined by Anna of Paint & Sip, a lovely wee art studio in Christchurch's Arts Center where you can come along and join in on fun and social painting classes where you can also have a bevvy or two.

Anna has been a joy to chat with on the couple of occasions I've been into her studio so I feel very lucky she gave up some of her very busy week to record this podcast with me.

Content Warning: The fellas discuss the Drake/Kendrick beef which alludes to some alleged misconduct, as well as Baby Reindeer which deals with some really heavy subject matter, as well as a bit towards the end about terrorism which contains death, mayhem and self harm references. Jesus, writing this out now Taylor is realizing what a dark episode it comes across as, we swear it's a laugh though!

In episode 2 the dons of hosstown discuss the Rap Beef between Drake and Kendrick, or moreso Matt explains why this is so significant to Taylor. The boys then sojourn down Baby Reindeer Boulevard and Taylor explains why the in-show poster for "Lol-on Cancer" was a perfect easter egg. Biggie Smalls is inducted into the Hoss Hall of Fame and The Fellas end by discussing the "Would you rather meet a bear or a man in the woods" trend which leads into a discussion about male delusion, could they stop a bank robbery, land a plane with no training or beat a bear in single combat? Listen to find out!

Charn Williams is back with a vengeance and we talk about her Tiny Joys, it's another fun filled frolic through topics such as oodies, when is it people watching vs perving, how many beverages can one person have on the go at once, and why I suspect Charn is secretly a cat masquerading as a human.

Charn Williams's Tiny Joys:
my oodiesPeople watching having multiple (non alcoholic) drinks at the same timereading unhinged Facebook postsknocking stuff over

This week I'm joined by Auckland based stand up comedian Ocean Denham and she brought 5 tiny joys to the show. We ended up getting into some great tangents about entertaining children, being labeled the "picky" eater as a kid, and why whenever you have a fringe, it's a sign that things aren't going well. (I currently have a fringe)

Ocean has a show coming up in the NZ Comedy fest called A Hot Girl And Her Suzuki Swift, grab tickets for it here and you can follow Ocean on Instagram here. Check out either, Ocean is really freaking funny.

When i see someone happy / passionate about somethingWhen a baby waves at meWhen I pull my chicken nuggets out of the air fryer before it dings and they're the right amount of crispySeeing someone who was mean to me at high school get a fringe and the fringe is awfulWhen you plan an outfit in your head and it turns out as good as you imagined

This week I'm joined by my good friend and comedic colleague, Charn Williams where she talks us through the process of what it was like to donate a kidney here in NZ. Charn has a great memory for the details and took me through every step of the process with heaps of laughs along the way.
