After a fun interaction with my Uber passenger in 2017, I explored the internet to see if anyone was uploading their Uber rides online. I found Ryan Is Driving, reached out to him for some pointers and he graciously replied! Since then I have always wanted to meet him, shake his hand and thank him for paving the way. Today is that day!

Kevin Hines' story is one of resilience, hope, and inspiration. At age 19, he survived a jump from the Golden Gate Bridge, defying all odds. A seal miraculously helped keep him afloat until the coast guard arrived, saving his life. In today's podCARst, Kevin shares his journey from that life-changing moment to his work in mental health awareness and brain health.

Michael Kahan is a screenwriter and podcast host with more than 250 episodes under his belt. He is a master conversationalist who has not only interviewed but gone VERY deep with some of Hollywood’s biggest stars on his own podcast, Funny In Failure.

Michael just so happens to be one of my closest childhood friends. Who better to interview me than this legend! I'm very proud to share today's podCARst with you fo...

Timm Chiusano is a successful and humble executive who was co-founder to one of the most unique production & creative services teams ever built.

I came across Timm's content on Tiktok and was immediately hooked to his storytelling and positive attitude towards making an impact in the workplace. Given his corporate experience, I seek out some much needed therapy relating to my own corporate journey which abruptly e...

I love the world of stand-up comedy and I admire those who pursue it as a career. My guest today is Zainab Johnson who released her first special on Amazon Prime recently. After watching it, I couldn’t get past how well she crafts a story and keeps you on the edge of your seat…all the meanwhile keeping you giggling. This is classy comedy! Whilst I was in LA, I had to meet her.

Today’s guest is Daniel Mac. He pioneered the now commonly used social media line “I love your car! What do you do for a living?”

When I was a kid, my dad taught me that “you don’t know, if you don’t ask”. Daniel isn’t afraid to ask the question…and it has gotten his career to a pretty surreal place. I mean for goodness sake, the White House reached out to HIM to meet the president! Regardless of where you stand politicall...

Phoebe was my Uber passenger in 2019 and became my dear friend. A little while ago I helped her move from Canberra to Brisbane and the trip ended up being an epic 15 hour cross-country deluxe Uber ride!

Todays podCARst has a lot of standard childish humour from yours truly
but I absolutely love where the conversation gets to in the 2nd half of the trip...even though the movers absolutely destroyed Phoebe's couch. ...

Teri Kearns was an awesome Uber passenger of mine back in 2018. Last year she was diagnosed with HIV. The story of what came after this diagnosis is a mixture of shocking, stressful, terrifying and inspirational.

If you watch the episode of Funny Uber Rides that Teri starred in, you will assume that she is somewhat of a party animal which may have been the case once upon a time but now she runs a successful marketing agen...

Brittany O'Brien represented Australia in the 2016 Rio Olympics, competing in the 10m platform diving event. I believe Brittany represents a new wave of top performing athletes. She has not only dedicated her life to diving but also documents the process as it is happening on TikTok. We, the viewer, get to witness Brittany's ups and downs in real time, as well as the many other elements of her life which include running a...

Funny Uber Rides is a tightly put together production with lots of fast  paced punchy laughs. Today's podCARst is a much more organic and natural conversation between myself and 2 passengers, Chloe and Georgia. We all gradually get to know each other and eventually enjoy some funny and interesting conversation - for example, how to lose $14,000 in less than 60 seconds!

My guest today is Jamie Perkins, father of Ava and Zoe, who you may see in his vlogs over on his own youtube channel with over 1.5 million subscribers!

Jamie's fathering style reminds me of my dad's. There is a large emphasis on leading by example. He's open about getting expelled twice in high school but is proud that he changed the trajectory of his life for the better.

Jamie may have more low-key...

My guest today is adult superstar Ruby May!

"Don't hate the player, hate the game." We've all heard this saying before. If you take the player out of the game, the game is still going to go ahead.

The adult industry is the oldest industry in the world because at different times in history there has been government, religion and communities that have hated the players and attempted to dismantle ...

My guest today is a crowd favourite, Piper Young!

I got to know Piper over our many lockdowns here in Melbourne. As some of you would know, I used make content on Omegle when I wasn't allowed to drive. Piper became one of the primary reasons why people came back every week for new episodes of 'Banter', my lockdown show.

You know, it's one thing to find willing participants to film with regularl...

My guest today is one of my nearest and dearest friends, Nikki Ruderman.

I want to introduce you all to Nikki because she represents ambition, discipline and fun really beautifully. I became close friends with Nikki about 8 years ago. I would see her regularly at gym. Any day that I went to gym, she would be there and on my off days she would also be there - lifting more than you and I combined - and usually doing it with ...

Today's guest is the inspiring comedian and TikTok star, Blake Pavey.

Blake grew up in Corowa, an Aussie country town, with a population of about 6000 people. When he was in year 11 he started to go viral regularly with his funny daily comedy sketches.

Blake has amassed an audience of over 700,000 people on TikTok. Can you imagine being in high school at 17 or 18 years old with a following like that? Let alon...

Today's guest is the beard-bearing, Isaac Butterfield.

Isaac is an Aussie comedian who has no trouble selling out shows when he tours. A large reason for this is because he isn't afraid of speaking his mind, which sometimes means being controversial.

As I interview more and more comedians, I'm noticing a trend in the way that they see the world of comedy. First and foremost, they want to make people...

Today's guest is the delightful comedian Michael Shafar.

Michael is a talented guy. He finished high school ranked in the top .05% of the state. He studied and completed law and biomedicine only to ditch it and pursue his calling of becoming a stand-up comedian. He has been performing for 8 years and is also a writer for The Project on channel 10.

Michael has been diagnosed with testicular cancer twice and be...
