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 …

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 t…

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 l…

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 …

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 hav…

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 …

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 …

Today’s guest is the proud prankster and stand up comedian, Lewis Spears. Lewis has featured in Funny Uber Rides a few times. I asked him to be a guest on the podCARst today because the way that he goes about promoting his online content and stand up comedy is very different to most people. I figured that it would be interesting to explore the mind…

Today’s guest is the legendary Angry Dad (aka Mark Orval). He got this nickname from a series of viral prank videos that his kids have uploaded online.
