Ruddle Me This! with Taylor Ruddle

This time I'm joined by my Can Do Comedy Compatriate, Matt Threadwell! I've known Matt for several years and this is surprisingly one of the first outside of stand up projects we have done together, sorry it took so long Matt, but it was a great episode! Matt's Tiny Joys Aside from his joys we also yapped about names for bands that we've been in or thought would be good, stand up comedy, South Park, the ahead-of-its-time professional wrestling character Muhammad Hassan, sports in general, being proud cat daddies, the Roman Empire of course made an appearance and we even have a new jingle for it every time it comes up on the show! We ended with some quick fire questions that led into a discussion about Anime. Listening back I could hear myself laughing and tee-heeing, so I hope you enjoy it too.

In this episode, the Dons of Hoss Town yap up a storm about the potential lockdown 2: electric boogaloo that we might have to go through, before moving on to something a bit lighter in the closing of Big Gary's Takeaways here in Christchurch as well as their favourite fish & chip establishments. Matt bares his soul and talks about the incredibly tough night he had in the finals of the Christchurch Raw Comedy Competition and Taylor vows to stage an insurrection in order to defend Matt's honour. The lads then talk about times they've failed in showbiz, most lately Taylor's trip to Twizel where he sold 11 tickets to a show in a theatre that seated 200 people! The big fullas wrap things up with some talk of Fringe Festivals and then take a jaunt down Harry Potter avenue to close things out. Watch the full video on YouTube here.

Like I mentioned last week in the interview with Kit Zakimi, I lived in Japan for about 3 years between 2014 and 2018, as it turns out I needed to use one of my pre-recorded "Break Glass" episodes due to being very busy the last few weeks so using the Japan one felt right. I've never told this whole story on any podcast before so my Villain Origin Story is making it's podcast debut right here on Ruddle Me This.

Today I'm joined by my friend Kit Zakimi, an up and coming YouTuber based in Okinawa. Kit and I have known each other for several years and worked together a few times but never actually had a face to face chat like we did on zoom this time. It was so nice being able to reminisce about Japan with Kit, as well as get an insight into what it's like as a YouTuber chasing the dream. We also chatted a lot about cultural identity as Kit is half Japanese who has lived in both the USA and Japan so has a lot of experience with both. I hope you enjoy it!

In this episode I'm joined by Geoff Wilson and we break down the movie The Menu (2022) which I've seen 3 times and each experience has been a totally different one. We talk about the idea of Greatness in the arts, whether the sacrifice is worth it in the end, how to stay happy as an artist as well as figuring out why we do the things we do. It's a fantastic listen, I really enjoyed chatting with Geoff. I also talk for about 15 minutes at the end about the movie Rite Here, Rite Now by one of my favourite bands - Ghost.

In this episode I'm joined by Dayvid, the second half of the Won Nothing podcast as well as a rising star in the paranormal community via his page Down The Rabbit Hole on Instagram! Initially I brought Dayvid on the pod to do a Tiny Joys episode but we just got chatting and next thing I knew it had been an hour and we had been getting DEEP on some paranormal topics. We talked about Dayvid's first couple of experiences, then we got into horror movies where I talked about an idea I've been mulling over for a horror movie featuring a 4 dimensional creature which led into a massive discussion about the dimensions, before capping it off talking about The Roman Empire, as is the way! It was an awesome chat, and I hope you enjoy it!

In this episode I'm joined by a good friend Seán Tinker who's recently made the jump to being a full time entertainer like myself. I had so many questions for Seán about how he makes a living, how he got started, what was his breaking point to quitting the day job, etc. so it was awesome to be able to sit down with him and pick his brain.

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?
