This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat to identical twins and comedy duo Ben and James Stevenson aka The Stevenson Experience. They’ve been performing together since they were 15 and whilst it hasn’t always been an easy ride, they genuinely like each other. Individually they had some awful work stories including the time they were teenagers and a woman made Ben look at her naked photos. Together, they had a gig that was so bad they feared for their lives.

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we talk to comedian, ex-radio host and national icon, Sammy J! He is a household name who is arguably the most loveable man on the planet, so he took us through some chapters of his life that shocked us. For example, the time he worked in a store where is was made to feel invisible, or the time he was a teenager and an established performer told him to “f**k off”. Sammy is a gifted storyteller, so everything he brought to the podcast was gripping and we left this conversation better people. We absolutely loved this chat with Sammy J, so treat yourself and enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week we chat to standup comedian and ex-lawyer Andrew Portelli. He is one of the best joke writers in the business, but before he was a gig pig, he was a prosecutor where he sent bad guys to jail. Andrew explains that he started his work as a modern day hero as a young age when he catfished creeps online ‘for fun’. The man is twisted as shit, but we love him dearly. We had a great time chatting with Andrew, so please enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we have a yarn with TikTok sensation, stand-up comedian and Steve Irwin impersonator, Blake Pavey. He became an online staple during COVID as a highschool student, and his comedic talents have grown from strength to strength. Blake’s early success means he hasn’t had many jobs, but the jobs he did have, he was pretty shit at. You dodged a bullet, Reject Shop! We asked him about nightmare gigs and he shared a corker that involved Wil Anderson and a crying man. Bliss. We loved this chat with Blake Pavey, and we know you will too! Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we sit down with one of the nicest, funniest and tallest people in this great nation, Dave Thornton. There aren’t many telly shows, stages or radio stations he hasn’t been on, and you’d be looking a long time to find someone who doesn’t like him. But before he was a famous comedian, he was the world’s worst graphic designer due to the fact he is colour blind. Dave came with a collection of embarrassing gigs to talk about, including the time he was accused of being racist mid-gig. Awkward. We loved this chat, and we know you will too! Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we recorded in Adelaide during the fringe festival with Australia’s best boy Cam James. He’s gone viral for his hit song ‘Medium Dick’ and his standup tours sell out nationally, but before this success he used to work at a theatre restaurant, which absolutely cancels out anything impressive he has ever done or will do in the future. This theatre restaurant was like an Aldi version of Draculas if Aldi was filled with sex pests, shit food and illicit drugs. He also worked in a factory where he told a nepo baby to shove his job up his arse, which was awesome, but again, doesn’t distract us from out how embarrassing his theatre restaurant job was. We bloody loved this chat with Cam James and we know you will too, so enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat to comedian and fashion icon, Jess Fuchs. Jess sheds light on what it’s like to be a medical receptionist, and we were flabbergasted. She was the lady who you had to speak to when you were at your most vulnerable state, and instead of being kind, she was a massive moll. We asked her why all medical receptionists are heartless bullies, and her explanation was perfection. If you have ever been belittled or disrespected by a medical receptionist, and of course you have, listen to this episode. We also talk about comedy, but that goes without saying. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

It was time to do an episode with just us, Bron and Brett just in case we had any sore points we wanted to tend to without making a guest uncomfortable. If you’ve ever wanted to hear how a comedy show is made, or our fears around making our current solos, this is the episode for you. We love making this podcast, and in this recording, we love each other (which is a rumour everyone should start spreading). Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

We took ‘Work Hates’ to a sold out audience in Brisbane and it was bloody amazing. Not only were the audience so good, but our guests Emma Zammit and Peter James were hilarious. Emma shared how being a randy little floozy got her fired from Macca’s, and Peter explains why he cried whilst dancing with seven-foot dogs. Bron and Bretty were particularly mean to each other, so really there is something for everyone in this episode. We had the best time of our lives in Brisbane, and you’ll hear that when you listen. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we finish our Brisbane trip with one of our all time favourites, Shad Wicka. Shad has been a standup comedian for years, and he is one of the best emcees the country has to offer, but he hasn’t always done this job. Before this he was training his dog to poo in funny places, which sounds like a silly thing to do, but you just wait and see how handy that was for him. Shad has one of the most insane stories about how he got fired from his dream job because the PM couldn’t take a joke. You’d think he would have better things to do, no? Anyway, it’s a story unlike any other we have heard on the podcast, so don’t you dare miss it. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we found ourselves in Brisbane, which meant we had to catch up with Queensland’s most unhinged psychopath Jack Knight. We were desperate (and a bit nervous) to hear what kind of job history Jack had, and he didn’t disappoint. He is an army veteran who isn’t a stranger to disappearing into a forest for six months at a time because he gets sick to death of people. So yeah, he’s normal. Highlights are his time as a fencer where he fought a junkie, and also his worst gig ever, where a woman accused him of having a vagina. Powerful stuff. We loved this chat, so go and learn something by enjoying to this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we have a yarn with Australian comedy icon and fittest man in the world Merrick Watts. The bloke has been on Australian radio for decades, and that is not because he knows how to stick to a budget. Merrick is a classic larrikin who has caused quite a lot of headaches for people, both from stress and booze. Just when you think he is good at everything, Merrick explains that that before comedy he was a failed tradie who was bullied relentlessly on site, which was music to our ears. You’re not allowed to be funny, hot, fit, loveable and handy - it’s the law. We love this bloke, so enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat with Australia’s favourite ex-crim. After spending time in prison for dealing exorbitant amounts of illicit drugs, Andrew changed his ways and became a stand-up comedian. He tells us about what it was like to be in prison, why you should avoid the ‘bone yard’ and how it was actually a really positive experience for him. This is a great episode, especially if you want to know why in the peak of his wealth he drove those tiny GoGet cars instead of anything you’d expect a drug dealer to drive. We loved this chat and we know you will to. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week we continue our stint in Sydney with one of our favourite comedians of all time, Kate Dolan. Originally from the UK, Kate chose the most expenny city in Australia to start one of the hardest careers: standup comedy. Bretty puts his foot in it INSTANTLY when he lists one of her achievements as being ‘a wife’, and he will never live that down. Kate has had every job under the sun, from a dreadful scam artist at a call centre, to an after school care worker, and it’s safe to say she won’t need to do any of that stuff soon because her trajectory is BRIGHT. We both loved and hated hearing about her worst ever gig with misogynistic coke-heads, but the best part of this episode and of Bron’s life was when Kate got Bretty to do an Anastasia impersonation. We loved this episode more than life itself, so go treat yourself and relish in this week’s ‘Work Hates’!

This week we travel all the way to Sydney to record with some of our favourite Sydney comedians. Fresh after our live show, and with a little bit of self inflicted brain damage, we have a chat with the woman of the moment, Steph Broadbridge. She might be making waves in the media at the moment for her parody musical she can’t talk about, but we’ve known Steph for years as being a solid crusher. Before this, she was an usher for The Voice where she was in charge of not letting people go to the toilet and refusing to let fugggos anywhere near the camera. Now as a comedian, she has had some of the nastiest gigs, including people climbing on the stage to confront her, or following someone who has had a beer bottle thrown at them. That’s showbiz babyyyy!! We loved this chat, so go on, do yourself a solid and enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

To celebrate a whole year of ‘Work Hates’ podcast, we did our first ever live show and it was bloody excellent. Special guests Nikki Britton and Luke Heggie were the perfect sweet and salty additions, and we discovered one of them spewed in a mascot suit and the other made themself vomit from their own fart. It might not have been highbrow, but it was such a great recording. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat with director, producer and all round good bloke, Max Miller. He’s most famous as the director and one of the writers of one of Australia’s biggest comedy successes: Aunty Donna. We asked Max if he ever wanted to be one of the actors, and he said, “It was hard enough to agree to coming on this podcast”. The man is the classic behind-the-scenes kind of guy, which feels like a waste because he’s bloody hilarious. Max started his working career selling raw poultry, and thankfully the only way was up. We learned about the time he directed Bretty and Dustin Martin in a Bonds ad, and he graciously reads out the feedback on said ad from internet trolls. Max brings a whole new perspective to both the poultry and the entertainment industry, and we couldn’t be happier with that. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week we celebrate 50 EPISODES of ‘Work Hates’, and who better to celebrate with than Dave ‘Hughesy’ Hughes. This man is Australian comedy royalty, with one of the most distinct voices on the planet, but more importantly, a work ethic that is incomparable to any other. Hughesy comes from a working class family in Warrnambool, and the way the man hustles it would seem he hasn’t shaken that identity even in the slightest. The man WORKS HARD! From working in an abattoir to being a bricklayer’s runner, he isn’t afraid to get uncomfortable. In saying that, he has been fired from everything except comedy, so it’s bloody lucky his comedy career took off. We had a hoot chatting with Hughesy, so treat yourself and enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we have a yarn with comedian, actor and online sensation, Aaron Gocs AKA Gocsy. We were over the moon when Gocsy agreed to coming on the podcast because this is a man who has a resume longer than the Bible. You may know him from his famous corn video where he was eating corn whilst wearing cornrows and listening to Korn, but he has more skills than that. He’s done everything from being a security guard at teenage birthday parties, driven a taxi, acted in a Ford ad and removed rubbish people’s yards. He’s a jack of all trades, and he has the optimism of a saint. We love Gocsy, and you will too! Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’!

This week on ‘Work Hates’ we chat with television presenter, comedian, mother and a pillar of Australian entertainment, Julia Morris. She has been in the industry for (in her words) “75 years” so she has seen more dreadful gigs than anyone in the world. Her career has been spectacular from the outside, and her tenacity has allowed her to stay in a profession that has been infamously unenthusiastic towards women. Julia has been thrown under the bus on national television by colleagues in search of a leg-up, and she has also embraced younger talent wholeheartedly. This is a self-made woman who walks into a room with her heart on her sleeve, and even though she may not remember anyone’s name, she is absolutely willing to pretend she has. We could have spoken to Lady Julia Morris of Gosford for hours, so you’re in for a treat. Enjoy this episode of ‘Work Hates’.
